Chapter 1: Yun Yi Jian

  The city is Zixiao City.

  A row of buildings filled with a rotten aura stand in the city of Purple Twilight, various defensive and offensive spell arrays crisscrossing, floating purple light, making people awe.

  This is a remote city in Qingzhou, where many wealthy and influential families are gathered. The Yun family is one of the prominent families within Zixiao City, with numerous skilled individuals. It's rumored that the Yun family's ancestor is an extremely powerful expert who has cultivated his spiritual energy to its peak, residing in Zixiao City and rarely allowing anyone to surpass him.

  The young and talented members of the Yun family led the way in Zixiao City, with five people from the Yun family making it onto the Wind Clouds Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

  Young man with clear eyebrows and elegant eyes, wearing white clothes like snow, with a silver-white wolf tooth hanging on his chest, sharp as a blade, hair falling to his shoulders, long hair scattered, holding a three-foot green sword, walking on the Cloud Family Avenue.

  "Hello Xiao Jian Ge!"

  "Yi Jian Ge hao..."

  The children walking on the main road all addressed him with respect and courtesy, obviously they were all direct descendants of the Yun family.

  The young man nodded slightly, returning the greetings one by one, and didn't put on airs. If it were to be told, no one would know that he was a top-ranked master listed in both the Wind Cloud List and the Hidden Dragon Potential List. His surname was Yun and his name was Yijian.

  He topped the Wind Cloud List because his meridians were not open, relying solely on physical strength to sweep through the top ten masters of the Wind Cloud List. No one would have thought that at just eighteen years old, the slender Cloud Yejian could unleash such immense power.

  It is rumored that he can burst out with full force of his physical strength, and can kill a low-level pulse beast with one punch, but no one has seen it, yet no one dares to underestimate him.

  "I heard that Xiao Jian Ge has defeated another peak master of the opening vein period, he's really awesome!" After Yun Yijian left, there were waves of discussions behind him.

  "Yes, although Little Sword Brother can't open the meridian gates, he might be able to pioneer the Body Refining Stream and become the first person to achieve Body Refining!" Another 11 or 12-year-old kid said with a face full of admiration.

  "Alas, it's really a waste of talent. Little Sword Brother worked so hard, yet he can't even open up a small pulse gate, let alone the main one!"

  A group of children chattered incessantly and soon gathered a dozen or so kids.

  "Hmph, if it weren't for Yi Jian's heart meridian being sealed, who in Purple Twilight City would dare speak out? Who the hell sealed his heart meridian! Even Old Ancestor can't undo it!" Suddenly, a delicate voice came from behind the children, as clear and melodious as a oriole's song, but with a hint of resentment and irritation.

  Everyone turned their heads to see a little girl, only seven or eight years old, with an angelic face that made people involuntarily like her. Her chubby cheeks were filled with anger, and it was clear that Yun Yexian's sealed heart meridian had enraged her.

  "Yunxi sister, what are you saying? Xiao Jian's heart pulse has been sealed? How do you know?" Many people were astonished, this kind of thing was obviously not something these children should know, even if Yunxi's status was somewhat special.

  Yun Si was taken aback, suddenly pouting and smiling awkwardly, shaking her head and running away. If such a thing were to be spread out, it would obviously be a beating, even if she was Yun Yixiao's younger sister from the same father but different mother, even if Yun Yixiao loved her dearly.

  At this moment, Yun Yijian held the three-foot green edge facing a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had some similarities with Yun Yijian, but added a bit of vicissitudes and majesty. He was Yun Canghai, one of the elders of the Yun family, and also Yun Yijian's father.

  Yun Canghai looked at Yun Yijian, and his eyes had a hint of gentleness and tenderness.

  "Yi Jian, have you been able to feel the pulse recently?" Yun Canghai asked with concern.

  Yun Yijian heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, shaking his head gently. Looking at his weathered father, Yun Yijian felt a pang in his heart and comforted him, "Father, don't worry about it anymore. I have my own way of dealing with this matter. Even if I can't open the meridian gate, I will create a legendary path. The Body Refining Stream will eventually reign supreme over the heavens and earth, and all the heavenly paths will be at our command!"

  As he said this, Yun Yijian gripped the three-foot Green Edge tightly in his hand, his tone arrogant and domineering, his eyes shooting out an aura of invincibility that even Yun Canghai felt some pressure.

  "Ah, don't try to comfort me. Even when our ancestor personally took action, it didn't budge the seal on your heart's acupoint. Our ancestor said that even a great master of the Great Sect couldn't open it, unless a saint were to take action. But how could our family possibly invite such a powerful being?" Yun Canghai's face was gloomy, his heart filled with cold intent.

  "I want to know who sealed my Heart Meridian! All these years, my efforts have been in vain, all because of this seal. Father, I've grown up, I should know what belongs to me!" Yun Yijian's eyes shot out cold flames, saying he didn't hate was a lie.

  At the mention of this, Yun Canghai's face was filled with despair and sadness, his complexion ashen. The grand hall fell silent for a long time before he slowly lifted his head, looking straight at his son.

  "Some things, after all, can't be hidden from you for a lifetime. What's meant to be known will eventually be known!" Yun Canghai fell into endless memories, his face filled with happiness and pain. "When I met your mother at the same age as yours now, I was immediately captivated by her beauty, talent, elegance, and every word and action of hers made me devotedly follow her, never having any doubts about her. At 17 years old, she swept through all the major rankings in Zixiao City with just her hands, without anyone pushing her to exert herself fully, and no one knew how many main and minor meridians she had opened up. I only lasted a short time under her hands!"

  "She is more beautiful than a fairy, her combat power surpasses that of the same rank as Wang, yet she is willing to stay in Zi Xiao City and not provoke trouble. Even when someone collides with her, she rarely takes action. In the past, she only took action to sweep away the top masters on the list because she was forced to do so. Therefore, many people are guessing that she is avoiding enemies and does not dare to provoke trouble, so they are even more aggressive. I really can't stand it, so I take action to help her and bring her to the Yun family."

  "That was the happiest time of my life, I spent a year with her, and no one expected that she would suddenly say she wanted to marry me, it caught me off guard... At that moment, I almost fainted..."

  Yun Yijian listened quietly, looking at his tear-stained father, the pain in his heart surging like a turbulent river, his grip on the sword tightened, and even the sound of it could be heard.

  Yun Canghai continued, "But the good times didn't last long. When she gave birth to you, the heavens changed color, thunder rumbled, lightning boomed, and strange phenomena appeared in the sky. The strong ones looked down on the earth with disdain. She seemed to have sensed something, reached out to touch your pulse, and her face turned pale in an instant. Without even thinking, she sealed off your heart meridian. I had never seen her so tense before. She always faced everything with a calm demeanor, never showing any signs of panic. But that day, her face was filled with despair as she muttered the words 'Void Body' repeatedly. After sealing off your heart meridian, she only stayed at the Yun residence for three days, looked at you for three days, and then disappeared into the night in Zixiao City, leaving behind only an iron box, without even saying a single extra word!"

  Yun Yijian's heart was racing as he listened to his father's description, and the Qingfeng in his hand almost slipped out of control. According to his father, his mother's departure was not a voluntary leave, but an escape from her enemies, who had sealed off his meridians. It was clear that his own physique could cause extraordinary turmoil in heaven and earth, and his mother's enemies were obviously abnormally powerful.

  "Who is my mother? And who is her arch-nemesis? What kind of physique do I have? To actually cause a heavenly phenomenon! Is it the Void Body?" Yun Qian's gaze pierced through the grand hall, staring into the void, wanting to know if his mother was safe now, and where she was.
