Only when it was during the dead of night did Guo Wang attempt to carry out his plans. He did not want any stray maid to catch him in the act.

Guo Wang took out a prayer bead. This singular prayer bead contains the power of the river of time that was collected for many aeons. Although Guo Wang was granted a cultivation technique that directly absorbs time energy, he could not wait any longer. He wanted to exact his revenge right now.

Guo Wang’s eyes began to tremble. His entire body was covered in a glow. His eyes turned into a shade of purple and dharma chanting can be heard reverberating throughout his body.

Guo Wang vomited blood from the intense pressure the chanting caused on his body. The journey to the river of time was too much for his body to handle. He might have the ticket to enter the river of time, but can he withstand it?

Guo Wang did not care about the consequences anymore. He had gone too far to back out now. His entire body started to resonate with the river of time.

The foolish man did not even leave a back door for him to escape to. Even if his cultivation realm was not high enough to create a clone that could be sent in his stead, he could have used a dharma treasure that had the same effect.

However, for one to become a fodder villain, he needs to think like one too. Guo Wang was not very bright.

Just like that, in the middle of the night, Guo Wang disappeared without a trace.

**********

The celebration continued. For people who have such long lifespans, they would definitely have many things to talk about and discuss.

The Xia family ancestor finally arrived. Although he kept on a facade that did not show any emotions, Yu Sheng could tell that his heart was in turmoil.

Whenever they made eye contact, Yu Sheng could feel the fluctuation in emotions on his face. The Xia family ancestor, Xia Long Da would try to avoid Yu Sheng’s gaze and play it off by talking to someone else.

Yu Sheng found it funny that someone that should have the same status as he did was acting like a scared bunny in front of him. Even after telling Long Da that it was fine after Long Da’s apology, Long Da’s nerves still couldn’t calm down.

Right at this moment, Yu Sheng felt a fluctuation in the river of time. This was not something that other powerhouses could feel. Although they were also quite proficient in the Dao of Time, they were not as sensitive as Yu Sheng. Moreover, a large number of people use the river of time every day, and it was not something they needed to govern over. That was the task of the Temporal Sage.

Yu Sheng had recognized the aura that is roaming the River of Time. Just like clockwork, it stopped 700 years ago from the present time.

Yu Sheng turned to his right to Yao Lan and whispered to her ears. “Yao Lan, do you have any Dao suppression pills?”

Yao Lan looked curiously at Yu Sheng but immediately searched around in her mind palace. She took out a divine-grade Dao suppression pill. The pill can help one by suppressing any Dao pressure that is exerting itself on one’s body.

The divine grade pill can even help a mortal survive the exertion aura of a Heavenly Sovereign, a black hole and even the River of Time.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Yu Sheng wanted to make sure that everything who go according to plan. Now it is time for him to act.

***************

Guo Wang could not take it any longer. His body was slowly breaking down. He had almost reached his destination but he couldn’t hold out any longer. He could burn his cultivation and that would ensure that he would arrive safely, but he was worried that his cultivation level was not enough to assassinate Hao Ran.

What Guo Wang did not account for was that his cultivation level was indeed not enough to attack Hao Ran. Hao Ran was getting unsealed after a million years. He was just a defenceless baby. How could the Bai family not put their utmost attention into the safety of Hao Ran?

Lucky for Guo Wang, Yu Sheng had foreseen this already. If he did not do anything, Guo Wang would be caught and exposed as the Xia Family assassin in the future. In fact, he would have been stopped by future Hao Ran before he could even touch baby Hao Ran.

Hao Ran is extremely talented. He had a bright future and would one day be proficient in the Dao of Time. How could he not sense that his past self was being targeted?

This was why people were warned to not target influential people or people who were talented when they are young. By travelling through the River of Time, you are exposing your own plan to the person you are targeting.

Hao Ran of the future naturally attained the Dao of Time, and naturally sensed that someone was attempting to kill him. Hao Ran created a clone of himself and planned to send the clone to deal with the threat, however, he had just gotten a message from the First Ancestor.

“Guo Wang of the Xia family is trying to assassinate you. Let him be. I will deal with him from here on out.”. An intimidating voice had appeared from the river of time directed to him. It seemed that the first ancestor of the period Guo Wang came from is using him for his plans.

Hao Ran cupped his hands and bowed towards the direction Yu Sheng’s voice came from. Although he knew that Yu Sheng could not see nor hear him, he did it as a form of respect.

Yu Sheng was satisfied with future Hao Ran’s attainments. He did not want to take a better look as he would unnecessarily inflict karma on himself. He could do it if he wanted to, but it’ll be much more fun to find it out himself.

Now, it is time for Yu Sheng to deal with Guo Wang.

“Hao Lin, I had heard many great things about your son. Just like me, he had attracted the Heavenly Dao Auspicious Blessing. Unlike me who did not fully make use of it as I was born in a backwater world, I hope that he is brought up and trained well? Bring him here and let me take a look at him.” Yu Sheng asked.

Upon hearing the praises of the First Ancestor, Hao Lin broke into a smile. “First Ancestor, do not worry. Hao Ran is being treated very well in the Bai Family. We did not spare any expense in raising him and he did not disappoint us. His growth can be considered heaven-defying. I will call him here immediately.” Hao Lin excitedly called a servant to bring his son to the First Ancestor’s residence.

In fact, Hao Lin had always wanted his son to be under the tutelage of the First Ancestor after Yu Sheng had awoken. They both shared similar roots and Yu Sheng could possibly want him as a disciple.

Even if Hao Ran could not become a disciple of the First Ancestor, he would still gain immense benefits. It was a win and win harder situation.

“Bring the Wang girl too. The fourth ancestor and I want to give her something as well.” Yu Sheng reminded.

Wang Wu Ling was surprised but hid her emotions. She quickly understood Yu Sheng’s intentions. He wants to let everyone know that the Bai and Wang families were inseparable and that Yu Sheng approves of Wang Bing Ji.

Bai Hao Ran and Wang Bing Ji arrived at his residence in a few minutes. How could they possibly have not wanted to meet this elusive legend? Not only were they invited into his Residence, but he also wanted to see them!

Hao Ran and Bing Ji had gotten even closer. After the incident that happened to Bing Ji, Hao Ran used his new memories to comfort her. If it was Hao Ran in the past, he would have had faith in Bing Ji’s power and mental strength, and fully believed in her that the incident did not affect her. He would not even consider comforting her as he thought that was looking down on her.

He was right, Bing Ji was not affected by Guo Wang’s actions. However, she was deeply touched by the care and concern that Hao Ran gave her when they met again. She felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart. She was so happy that Hao Ran had shown concern for her, and that only made their relationship stronger.

They stood nervously in front of the First Ancestor’s residence. They did not dare barge in straight. Hao Ran was nervous but he did not show it on his face. Bing Ji could not hide her nervousness and grabbed onto Hao Ran’s arm.

Hao Ran did not brush her nervousness away. He grabbed onto her tightly and comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’m nervous too. But our ancestors will not harm us. In fact, they called us here to reward us with something.”

Hao Ran’s touch had calmed her nerves. She nodded meekly.

The door to the first ancestor’s residence opened.
