Yun Yichen stood in the stone chamber, tightly gripping the ancient jade pendant in his hand, his heart surging with indescribable excitement and anticipation. The Lingwen on the pendant flickered with a faint glow in the dim light, as if responding to his heartbeat. He could feel the power contained within the pendant slowly flowing into his body, warm and strong, as if it were opening a door to a brand new world.
"Senior Yun Yifeng..." Yun Yichen whispered, the voice of the ancient powerhouse echoing in his mind. He knew he had finally found the opportunity to change his fate.
However, just as he was immersed in joy, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from the passage outside the stone chamber. Yun Yichen's heart tightened; he quickly hid the pendant in his bosom, held his breath, and cautiously crouched in a corner of the chamber. He understood that this was a forbidden area of the family, and anyone who entered without permission would face severe punishment, especially someone like him, a son regarded as a waste by the family.
The footsteps grew closer, and Yun Yichen's heartbeat quickened. He pressed himself against the wall of the chamber, trying to blend into the darkness. Yet, his body was already weak, and at this moment, he felt dizzy and could barely stand.
"Who is there?" A cold voice came from the passage, laced with authority and disdain.
Yun Yichen's heart sank; he knew his presence had been discovered. Gritting his teeth, he decided not to hide any longer and slowly stepped out from the shadows. At the end of the passage stood a middle-aged man in a black robe—Yun Tianhe, the Third Elder of the the Yun Family.
Yun Tianhe was one of the sternest elders among the higher-ups of the the Yun Family, often looking down on sons like Yun Yichen with disdain and even contempt. At this moment, he gazed coldly at Yun Yichen, his eyes filled with mockery and scorn.
"Yun Yichen, you waste! You dare to trespass into the forbidden area?" Yun Tianhe's voice was icy and piercing, like a sharp sword stabbing at Yun Yichen's heart.
Yun Yichen lowered his head, not daring to meet Yun Tianhe's gaze. "Elder, I just... I was curious and wanted to take a look..."
"Curious?" Yun Tianhe sneered. With a flick of his Fu Chen, a powerful surge of spiritual energy instantly sent Yun Yichen flying. "This forbidden area is not a place for someone like you to enter! Do you know that trespassing here is punishable by death?"
Yun Yichen crashed heavily onto the ground, pain shooting through his chest as blood trickled from his lips once more. Struggling to rise from the ground, he showed no sign of submission; instead, an indescribable determination shone in his eyes.
"Elder, I know I was wrong... but I truly just want to become stronger. I don't want to be a waste anymore..." Yun Yichen said softly, his voice tinged with pleading.
Yun Tianhe looked at him coldly; there was no trace of compassion in his eyes. "Become stronger? With your inability to even absorb Spiritual Energy? You are simply dreaming!"
Yun Yichen gritted his teeth; an unwillingness surged within him. He knew he could not continue like this. He raised his head and met Yun Tianhe's gaze directly, speaking with resolve: "Elder, I know my current strength is insignificant, but I believe that if given a chance, I can become strong!"
Yun Tianhe was slightly taken aback; he clearly did not expect Yun Yichen to dare defy him so boldly. A flicker of anger crossed his eyes as he swung his Fu Chen again, unleashing an even more powerful surge of spiritual energy towards Yun Yichen.
However, just as that energy was about to strike him, an unusual force suddenly erupted from within Yun Yichen's body. It felt as if every cell in him was responding instantaneously, neutralizing Yun Tianhe's spiritual energy. A tremor ran through Yun Yichen’s body; surprise flashed in his eyes as he realized this was indeed the Lingwen power contained within the pendant.
Yun Tianhe also sensed this power; shock crossed his features before they turned icy again. "You... you have actually cultivated Forbidden Technique?"
Yun Yichen's heart raced; he knew that his secret had been exposed. Gritting his teeth again, he decided not to hide any longer and said softly: "Elder, I have not cultivated Forbidden Technique; I merely... discovered a new method of cultivation."
"A new method of cultivation?" Yun Tianhe scoffed. "With your status as a waste? It seems you truly do not know how dire your situation is!"
With that said, Yun Tianhe ceased talking further; with a fierce wave of his Fu Chen, a powerful storm of spiritual energy surged toward Yun Yichen. Alarmed at this sudden attack and knowing he could not withstand it, Yun Yichen turned and fled deeper into the stone chamber.
At the end of this chamber stood an ancient stone door covered in intricate runes that emitted a mysterious aura. Without time for thought, Yun Yichen pushed open the door and dashed inside. Beyond it lay a narrow passageway where an unusual wave of power could be faintly sensed at its end.
Yun Yichen ran down the passageway as fast as he could while being pursued by the spiritual energy storm behind him. He understood that he needed to find an escape quickly; otherwise, if caught by Yun Tianhe, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the end of the passage was an even older stone chamber where an ancient altar stood at its center. The altar was engraved with complex Lingwen that radiated a faint glow. A surge of hope filled Yun Yichen’s heart as he realized he had found a chance for escape.
He hurried to the altar and reached out to touch the Lingwen on it. In an instant, the Lingwen glowed brightly, and a powerful force enveloped Yun Yichen. His body trembled slightly, and he soon felt a dizzying sensation, as if he were being pulled into a strange space.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a dense forest outside the forbidden area. The night breeze brushed against his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. Yun Yichen let out a long breath, knowing he had temporarily escaped a disaster.
However, he was aware that his troubles were far from over. Yun Tianhe would never let him off easily, and others in the family would surely begin to suspect him. He needed to grow stronger quickly to survive this crisis.
"Senior Yun Yifeng, please teach me how to cultivate Lingwen..." Yun Yichen said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of pleading.
From the jade pendant, Yun Yifeng's voice was deep and powerful. "Besides your special Lingwen physique, I can sense a strong conviction within you and a love for Lingwen. I am willing to impart my insights and powers of Lingwen to you. But you must agree to my conditions."
Yun Yichen's heart soared with joy as he respectfully replied, "Senior, whatever the conditions may be, please tell me!"
Yun Yifeng continued, "After you inherit my Lingwen powers and insights, you must use this strength to protect the Lingyuan Realm and fight against evil. When the Lingyuan Catastrophe arrives, you must stand up and save all living beings."
Without hesitation, Yun Yichen nodded and said, "Senior, I promise you. I will use this power to guard the Lingyuan Realm and will not disappoint your expectations."
