Chapter 5: Hmm, Quite Handsome

"That father, you..."

"No need to worry about me!"

Before Lin Ye could finish his sentence, Lin Zhentian already knew what he was concerned about and quickly waved his hand, saying straightforwardly, "Do you think I'll just sit here and wait? I've already distributed all the family's resources."

"If anyone wants to stay, let them stay. If they want to leave, we won't stop them!"

"But I'm definitely leaving."

"Huh?"

Hearing Lin Zhentian's words, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel puzzled.

After all, from birth until now, Lin Zhentian had rarely left Yu City, let alone the Lin Family estate more than a few times.

And now he was distributing all the family's resources?

Was he planning to run away?

At this moment, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Lin Zhentian's eyes.

"I want to go find your mother..."

Of course!

Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

For him, being the Chosen One was the perfect start as a transmigrator—after all, who wouldn't want to be the Chosen One?

But for his father or future companions, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare.

As everyone knows, to become the Chosen One, if you don't have a tragic or even humiliating backstory, you can't grow strong.

The heavier the burden you carry, the greater the outcome will naturally be.

And this whole "father searching for mother" plotline was quite common.

He originally wanted to dissuade him, but seeing his father's serious and nostalgic gaze, Lin Ye simply nodded. "I understand, Father. Be careful."

"Hahaha, brat, you're worried about your old man now? It's you who needs to be careful in those cultivation sects. Alright, let's not get sentimental—it's not like we're parting forever."

With that, Lin Zhentian took out a spatial ring and handed it directly to Lin Ye.

Presumably, it contained the resources a father prepared for his son.

Lin Ye didn't refuse and accepted it directly. This was his father's love—if he refused, it would seem too distant.

After silently observing his father's stats panel, Lin Ye took the spatial ring and turned to leave.

Lin Zhentian watched Lin Ye's departing figure and sighed. "Ye-er, your father will wait for the day you shake the ten great lands with your name. But before that, I must clear some obstacles for you first."

Lin Ye didn't say any overly emotional goodbyes to Lin Zhentian.

Even between father and son, men's feelings were never easily expressed through words.

Moreover, after looking at Lin Zhentian's stats panel, Lin Ye felt reassured.

Indeed, as the father of the Chosen One, how could he be ordinary?

Aside from not having an early death fate, he also possessed astonishing golden stat lines. It seemed this departure was to pave the way for the Chosen One's future background.

...

After quietly leaving Yu City,

Lin Ye asked the system for directions to the Zhengqi Sect.

"Just head west! Within ten thousand miles, you'll definitely reach the Zhengqi Sect!"

The system guaranteed confidently.

Head west?

Lin Ye looked at the dense forest to the west and wondered if the system was trying to trick him.

This forest led straight into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, filled with ferocious beasts and eerie phenomena. There were even rumors that powerful forbidden zones lay within.

One wrong step, and it would truly be game over.

But thinking about the fate of the Chosen One, it seemed fitting that he should run toward danger wherever it was.

He stopped overthinking and plunged directly into the western forest.

...

Yu City.

Later that evening, various sects sent representatives to this border town.

Their goal was to bring Lin Ye, the top-tier talent born in Yu City, into their sects.

Already at the Gold Core stage upon entering the sect?

It seemed that the story of his Dao Bone being extracted was either false, or even if it were true, he still had other secrets!

So whether it was for such a supreme talent or to uncover his secrets, they had to come.

However, when they arrived in Yu City, they found the entire Lin Family estate abandoned???

"Damn it! How dare they toy with us like this!"

Boom!

One of the cultivators, enraged and humiliated, casually struck out, instantly reducing the Lin Family courtyard to rubble.

As debris flew everywhere, the faces of the cultivators present darkened.

They hadn't expected that people from a remote border city would dare to play them for fools. They had promised to join the sects, but instead, they fled.

"Chase them! Chase immediately! Whoever captures a member of the Lin Family will be granted the qualification to join the immortal sects!"

"That's right! These bastards dare to humiliate us—they clearly don't take us seriously!"

"Hmph! An untrained genius is still just a genius. We originally planned to use gentle methods, but now it seems we must take more aggressive measures!"

"Capture the Lin Family members and use soul-searching techniques on them! We must find that brat's whereabouts!"

"..."

If Lin Ye were here to hear their conversation, he would surely say that this was exactly the vibe he expected.

The Chosen One was bound to endure countless hardships in the beginning; otherwise, how could he soar to greatness later?

However, Lin Ye was already deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and had no idea what was happening in Yu City.

The Ten Thousand Great Mountains were vast and boundless, with towering peaks and dense forests.

One oddly shaped mountain after another stood within, and stepping inside, one could feel chilling winds blowing.

Aside from the complex environment, the terrifying ferocious beasts were another reason why people hesitated to venture in.

After all, these beasts didn't care about reasoning—they'd devour you whole without hesitation.

Moreover, there were rumors that even immortals treaded carefully here.

Within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains lay several life-forbidden zones.

If one accidentally entered them, they would surely encounter unimaginable terrors.

Swish...

A streak of white sword light flashed by, and a ferocious beast with a grotesque appearance was decapitated in one strike.

The white-robed youth panted slightly, his ink-black hair clinging to his handsome face, clearly exhausted. He had just used his fingers as a sword to kill the beast before him.

This youth was none other than Lin Ye.

Since entering the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, this ferocious beast was already the fortieth one he had slain.

Who knew what kind of path the system had led him on?

Along the way, the number of ferocious beasts was countless. Fortunately, he hadn't encountered any overly powerful ones—otherwise, he would have surely perished here.

Thinking about carrying two "fate-twisted" stat lines, Lin Ye frowned.

"Even to consolidate my cultivation, do I really need to fight so many ferocious beasts?"

"Uh..."

The system fell silent for a moment before replying, "Do you think it might be your fault?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"This is the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, buddy. You carry the fate of the Chosen One. And every time you use sword qi to kill these beasts, even if they can't sense your aura, your repeated use of sword qi practically pierces the heavens. Do you think they're blind?"

"..."

No one told me that!

Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Who knew these ferocious beasts could sense fluctuations in spiritual energy?

With the Primordial Dao Body and a body once nurtured by the Dao Bone, even in close combat, he wasn't afraid of ordinary ferocious beasts.

Using sword qi was faster, yes—but there was another reason...

It looked cool.

Hmm, really, it looked pretty cool.
