Chapter 5: The Ten Great Taboos, The So-Called Era of Great Strife

"Xiao'er... you're just letting him go like that?"

Before the ancestral shrine, Ye Zhantian watched the figure gradually disappearing into the forest, a hint of concern flickering in his eyes.

Although Ye Xiao had harvested Ye Fan's Supreme Bone, Ye Zhantian still felt it would be better to eliminate him completely—to kill Ye Fan and ensure no future threats.

"Grandfather, I have my own plans for this. Please don't interfere. By the way, lend me the key to the Ye Family treasury."

Ye Xiao smiled brightly, extending his hand toward Ye Zhantian.

As the saying goes, at home, rely on your parents; outside, rely on your parents' wealth.

Now that Ye Xiao had bound the ten-thousandfold reward return system, he naturally needed to stock up on spirit treasures and boons for emergencies.

"Alright."

Ye Zhantian sighed softly. Though he didn't fully understand Ye Xiao's actions, he fully supported any decision Ye Xiao made.

If Ye Fan dared to retaliate against Ye Xiao, Ye Zhantian would personally crush him.

Hiss, hitting the young one only brings out the old one—there's that familiar vibe...

Time passed!!

When Ye Xiao returned to his chambers and looked at the interspatial ring in his hand, now filled with divine treasures and spirit materials, a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes.

There was less than a month left until the Divine Son competition.

In that time, he could farm rewards from Gu Mingyue four more times.

As a villain, Ye Xiao was well aware of the dangers he would face.

Thus, he planned to extract some life-saving trump cards from Gu Mingyue.

Before that, he had seven days to cultivate, which was perfect for integrating the Primordial Dao Bone.

"System, integrate the Primordial Dao Bone."

As he commanded, an overwhelming surge of Dao energy erupted around him.

At this moment, Ye Xiao had no intention of concealing the Primordial Dao Bone. He allowed its essence to rise unchecked, gradually enveloping the entire Ye Family grounds.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed across the heavens.

Clouds churned, and the Dao resonated harmoniously.

Suddenly, towering figures of ancient emperors and immortal beings appeared above the Ye Family grounds, their bodies covered in intricate patterns, each standing thousands of feet tall.

Under the astonished gazes of all the Ye Family's experts, these emperor and immortal projections knelt down in unison before the Ye Family.

Emperors bowed their heads, immortals chanted scriptures.

This scene immediately shocked the entire Three Thousand Dao States.

Countless ancient figures emerged from their tombs and mausoleums, looking toward the direction of the Central Holy State.

Such an astonishing phenomenon was unprecedented even for these immortal sect leaders and immortal masters, filling them with both curiosity and fear.

Heavenly Xuan Dao State.

Gu Mingyue, dressed in her crimson phoenix robe, stood before the imperial palace, her cold gaze directed toward the Holy State.

Calculating the timeline, in her past life, Ye Xiao had harvested a clan brother's Supreme Bone just before the Divine Son competition, allowing him to dominate the battle and secure the position of Divine Son.

Not only that, but his first act as Divine Son was to cripple the other sequences of the Ye Family, causing the nine branches to collapse entirely, leaving them fractured and disunited.

"Ye Xiao, it seems you haven't changed at all."

Gu Mingyue looked down at the Eight-Rank Fortune Pill in her hand, a chilling intent rising in her eyes.

Just as she turned to leave, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Before her stood a petite yet voluptuous girl in a green dress, smirking faintly.

"Mingyue seems troubled. Is it because of that Ye Xiao? I've heard that the young master of the Eternal Family is quite the playboy. Don't let him deceive you."

"Oh."

Gu Mingyue walked down the city wall without a word, heading toward the imperial palace.

"Hmph. It seems I'll need to find an opportunity to test this Ye Xiao and make Mingyue see his true colors."

The green-dressed girl pondered for a moment, a sly glint flashing in her green pupils.

Great Brahma Buddha State, Mountain Temple.

An elderly monk with snow-white eyebrows hanging down to the ground suddenly set aside his wooden fish and looked up at his disciple.

"Amitabha. Lian Sheng, your heart is disturbed."

"Master..."

Lian Sheng, the female monk, blushed slightly. Her white robes shimmered with a faint Buddhist glow, and even her delicate head radiated a soft blush.

"Enough. Whether it's fate or calamity depends on your destiny. You may descend the mountain."

Desolate Heaven Ancient State.

On the peak of a mountain stood a tall, slender woman dressed in a golden phoenix robe. Her features were exquisite, her demeanor noble—a mature charm that penetrated to the bone.

"So the ancestor's prophecy was true..."

As she murmured, nine white tails swayed gently behind her, exuding an innate allure.

Central Holy State.

An old blind man in simple clothes, holding a bamboo cane, walked along the street and suddenly furrowed his brows.

"Heavenly traces have descended, calamity has arisen. This must be the first of the Ten Great Taboos—the White-Clothed Calamity. The era of great strife has begun..."

He shook his head, his steps faltering as he muttered strange words, heading toward the source of the heavenly traces.

...

Meanwhile, the entire Ye Family was already in an uproar.

The elders of the nine branches gathered before the ancestral shrine.

Even with their strength, under the dense veil of Primordial Dao energy, they couldn't pinpoint its source.

At this moment, the entire Ye Family grounds resembled a chaotic realm, with heavenly mechanisms evolving and celestial contracts forming everywhere.

"Who is it?!"

"Not in the ancestral shrine... Could it be an awakening from their own bloodline?"

Only Ye Zhantian remained calm, though a hint of confusion lingered in his heart.

This level of phenomenon far surpassed the power of a Supreme Bone.

Even he couldn't confirm whether this phenomenon was caused by Ye Xiao.

"Hum."

At that moment, a deafening hum echoed from within the Ye Family grounds.

A gaunt, ghostly figure stepped forward, his body emaciated and eerie.

As he took a step, a shocking surge of blood energy erupted around him.

His shriveled body gradually expanded, transforming into a towering eight-foot-tall man who descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

An indescribable holy presence surged forth, crushing the elders of the nine branches beneath it.

Even Ye Zhantian's aged eyes flickered with a deep sense of dread.

A Saint!!

He hadn't expected that the Ye Family's phenomenon would awaken a sleeping Saint Ancestor.

"Ye Family Patriarch Ye Zhantian pays respects to Elder Fu Tian."

As Ye Zhantian bowed deeply, the eyes of the nine branch elders widened with shock.

Ye Fu Tian, the ninth ancestor of the Ye Family, the first-generation Overlord Body!!

It was said that this Overlord Ancestor once crushed true dragons with his bare hands, resisted Supremes, and shattered an ancient world.

"Could it be that our Ye Family has produced a true dragon in this generation? But who is this auspicious child..."

Ye Fu Tian sighed deeply, his massive body surging with blood energy that resonated with the heavens.

"Hehehe..."

Beside him, Ye Chongyang, an elder of the Overlord Body lineage, chuckled softly.

With the Divine Son competition approaching, the emergence of a Saint Ancestor from the Overlord Body lineage undoubtedly increased their chances of victory.

"Hmm? Do you know who caused this phenomenon?"

Ye Fu Tian frowned slightly, looking at the chuckling Ye Chongyang beside him.

"Answer, Elder. I do not know."

"Slap."

With a crisp sound, Ye Fu Tian swung his hand and slapped Ye Chongyang, sending him flying.

"If you don't know, why are you laughing your der off?"

After seven full days, the immortal and emperor projections in the Ye Family's skies finally began to dissipate.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's eyes snapped open. He looked down at the Primordial Dao Bone glowing with seven-colored light in his chest, a faint smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, he could feel an indescribably terrifying power evolving within this Dao Bone.

If his guess was correct, this should be the innate divine ability of the Primordial Dao Bone—a true taboo power!!

[Ding! Friendly reminder: Seven days have passed. Gu Mingyue's reward return count has been refreshed.]

"Hmm?"

Ye Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly as he looked at the dazzling golden armor in his hand, a radiant smile spreading across his face.

After all, what's most important for a villain is keeping his own life intact.
