Following Yuan Changsheng's sigh, Yuan Zhexian asked again, "Father, you said that all the immortal imperial clans, dynasties, and holy lands of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are tainted by the power of cause and effect. What about our Yuan clan?"
Yuan Changsheng explained, "Although my clan is a forbidden clan, its origins are far more terrifying than this world can imagine. The power the clan is currently displaying is less than one-tenth of what it is capable of, and although I am the clan head, I only understand about two or three-tenths of the clan's true foundation. Therefore, no matter what kind of cause and effect or what kind of great calamity, my Yuan clan is fearless."
Oh... The family is already so powerful, yet it's less than a tenth of that. Yuan Zhexian became interested in this and even more curious about the family's affairs.
At this moment, Yuan Changsheng said again: "You are the one chosen by the family, and everything about you is closely related to the future fate of the family. When your cultivation becomes stronger, you will understand everything. Now, knowing too much will only affect your Dao heart and increase the burden on your path to invincibility."
Yuan Zhexian immediately replied, "I understand, Father. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect my family and the clan." Yuan Changsheng smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's answer and then left the Divine Palace.
After Yuan Changsheng left, Yuan Zifeng suddenly appeared in the main hall and bowed to Yuan Zhexian, saying, "Divine Child, Yuan Ruochu requests an audience."
"Let him in."
Seeing Yuan Ruochu enter, Yuan Zhexian smiled and said, "Brother, this should be our first formal meeting. May I ask what brings you here?"
Then Yuan Ruochu bowed slightly and said, "Divine Child! I know that some time ago, apart from Chang Kong, Su Yu, Xing Chen and the other four, the remaining four sequences have all submitted to you. Now, I am the only one of the ten sequences who has not yet submitted to you. Today, I have two reasons: first, to pay my respects to the Divine Child, and second, to express my willingness to submit to you."
Ever since Yuan Ruochu's defeat by Ji Jingtian, he had been diligently cultivating in seclusion. However, Yuan Changkong, Yuan Suyu, and the others didn't seem to be as hardworking as him, yet their cultivation levels were rising rapidly. This puzzled him until he saw Ji Jingtian defeated by Yuan Zhexian with a single punch. This divine child, whom he had never met before, possessed terrifying strength. Only then did he realize that the increased cultivation of Yuan Changkong and the others was definitely related to the divine child. To enhance his own cultivation, he decided to submit to Yuan Zhexian.
In truth, Yuan Zhexian had been waiting for Yuan Ruochu to arrive. He firmly believed that no matter how arrogant or conceited someone was, they would ultimately submit to his absolute power. Moreover, Yuan Ruochu's Reincarnation Body was the fourth strongest physique. This alone made him extremely appreciative of her talent and eager to recruit her into his ranks.
Seeing Yuan Ruochu's determined gaze, Yuan Zhexian immediately stepped forward to help her up. He smiled and said, "Good. Now that even your cousin Ruochu has submitted to me, I naturally won't mistreat you." With that, he extended a finger and gently touched Yuan Ruochu's forehead, followed by a flash of golden light.
"This is...? The Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist..."
Yuan Ruochu's body trembled slightly. This was the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, which complemented his Six Paths Reincarnation Body Secret Technique. The Six Paths Secret Technique and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist were said to have been created by the Reincarnation Emperor, with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist being created when the Reincarnation Emperor was nearing immortality. Its power was several times stronger than the Reincarnation Secret Technique, and Yuan Ruochu firmly believed that he could definitely defeat Ji Jingtian with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.
With trembling body, Yuan Ruochu instantly knelt on one knee and swore an oath to Yuan Zhexian: "From this day forward, I, Yuan Ruochu, am willing to be Yuan Zhexian's master. Heaven and Earth bear witness." After she finished speaking, two golden marks appeared in the empty space of the hall, one imprinted between Yuan Ruochu's eyebrows and the other imprinted on Yuan Zhexian's body.
The marks of life and death, one master and one servant, the master's mark has absolute power of life and death over the servant's mark. "Ah, brother, why are you doing this to yourself?" Yuan Zhexian said softly.
"The divine child has bestowed upon me such precious immortal techniques; I have no way to repay such a great kindness. The only way to repay the divine child is to acknowledge him as my master and clear away all obstacles." After that, Yuan Zhexian shook his head and remained silent.
Two months passed. All ten members of the Ten Sequences were diligently cultivating in the Divine Palace, awaiting the opening of the Valley Secret Realm. During this time, an interesting incident occurred. The newly arrived Ji Jingtian bumped into Yuan Ruochu, who had just emerged from seclusion. Enemies meeting again are bound to be furious, especially since both were ranked fourth or fifth in physique. They were clearly annoyed with each other. Ji Jingtian then began teasing Yuan Ruochu, asking if he had obtained an Emperor Weapon. He even jokingly remarked that a defeated opponent shouldn't be diligently cultivating but instead be wandering around aimlessly. These few words of teasing enraged Yuan Ruochu, who immediately attacked Ji Jingtian. The loud fighting startled everyone who came to investigate, wondering who dared to fight in the Divine Palace. Upon seeing the two of them, everyone understood the reason. Ji Jingtian felt increasingly uneasy as the fight progressed, sensing that Yuan Ruochu was much stronger than before. He then summoned his Emperor Sword, preparing for a final showdown with Yuan Ruochu. *Bang!* With Ji Jingtian crashing heavily to the ground, creating a deep crater, the battle ended instantly. The victor was undoubtedly Yuan Ruochu. He then asked in bewilderment, "Impossible! You don't have an Emperor Weapon, how could you possibly beat me?" Seeing Ji Jingtian's discomfiture, Yuan Zifeng smiled and explained, "What's impossible? The Divine Child bestowed upon Yuan Ruochu the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, it's normal that you can't beat him."
Six Paths Reincarnation Fist? Ji Jingtian had also heard of this peerless technique. He then said, "The Divine Child actually bestowed such a technique upon you, while I have nothing." He was truly one of their own. He immediately felt quite aggrieved. Now that Yuan Ruochu possessed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, he knew he was no longer Yuan Ruochu's match. He squatted there, extremely aggrieved, looking at Yuan Ruochu. His aggrieved face seemed to say, "I'm behaving myself now, I dare not be arrogant anymore." Yuan Ruochu, seeing Ji Jingtian squatting there like a child, teased him, "What goes around comes around. If you keep showing off, I'll kill you."
