In the quiet palace of Ye Linglong, Ye Tian reclined on a plush bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

At noon, the bold sun cast its rays, bathing many aspiring talents in its light for training.

While Ye Linglong and Huang Ruoxi ventured to the martial arts field or scripture pavilion, Ye Tian remained alone, lying in solitude on the bed.

To exacerbate matters, before departing, Ye Linglong activated the palace defense formation, ensuring his confinement.

Disgruntled, Ye Tian murmured, "Hmph, can a mere formation stop me if I want to leave? I have the unlimited traversal mode, defying all obstacles."

However, leaving would inevitably bring consequences for his cousin Ye Linglong, subjected to their mother's punishment. Huang Ruoxi might also face repercussions for this error.

Bored to the extreme, Ye Tian called out, "System, are you there?"

"Is the host feeling too bored, desiring to explore the ancient Ye family for ages?"

"Exactly, is there a way for me to explore the ancient Ye family without involving my cousin?"

"Come on, call me foster father."

The system playfully responded, and Ye Tian could almost picture the mischievous face behind the words.

"Spit, call you foster father? Dream on!"

"Whether you exist or not, it doesn't matter when I grow up."

"Calling you my dog system foster father? Dream on."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, the system was dumbfounded.

The plot wasn't supposed to unfold like this.

You have a demand, I'll fulfill it; it's the system that's not cooperating.

Well, if you want it, I'll give it to you!

"Ding ding ding, system upgrading."

"Ding ding ding, system upgrade successful, activating range perception mode."

"The range perception mode allows the host to sense anything happening within a certain range without moving."

"The sensing range will continuously increase with the host's cultivation level."

Listening to the system's announcement, Ye Tian's eyes lit up.

Staying in place and still sensing everything within a certain range—this could alleviate his boredom while lying on the soft bed. Moreover, it would ensure his cousin and servant Huang Ruoxi wouldn't face their mother's punishment.

This mode seemed to be exactly what he needed right now, solving two problems with one stone.

Joyful, Ye Tian exclaimed in his mind, "System, activate the range perception mode."

As he spoke, Ye Tian closed his eyes, and a strange energy emerged, enveloping the surrounding area. This was the investigatable range.

The ancient Ye family was vast, like a small world.

With the range perception mode just activated, Ye Tian could now sense everything within a vast range, surpassing imagination.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Ye Tian's spiritual perception spread across the surroundings.

He sensed the scripture pavilion, martial arts practice field, life-and-death arena, and more within thousands of miles.

Ye family disciples were diligently cultivating, some breaking through as young talents sparred in the martial arts practice field.

There were conflicts among Ye family disciples resolved in the arena, and the alchemy hall emanated a fragrance of elixirs while the sound of forging echoed from the crafting hall.

In the talisman hall, runes flew, and powerful charms were inscribed.

And these were just glimpses of the iceberg that was the ancient Ye family.

Ye Tian also sensed two ancient fierce beasts engaged in a fierce battle, fighting for territory.

One was a mysterious armored giant turtle, its shell adorned with intertwined Dao patterns resembling a Xuanwu.

The other was a ferocious tiger with a golden armor covering its entire body, like a war god among beasts.

"Roar!"

They clashed violently, blood sprayed, and the earth shook as the sky reversed.

After exploring for a while, Ye Tian found it uninteresting and expanded his perception to explore further.

Everything felt like reading lines on his palm—no mysteries.

But when Ye Tian's perception reached a certain limit, he discovered a mysterious cover at the edges of the small world where the ancient Ye family's treasures were stored. Surprisingly, he couldn't penetrate it.

Fortunately, this was a mode bestowed by the system, allowing him to see through all illusions.

Ye Tian carefully sensed it and found nothing suspicious within the cover, shifting his gaze.

Suddenly, he felt a strange energy and focused his perception on it.

Ye Tian's spiritual awareness focused sharply on the origin of the strange energy, revealing three figures draped in black robes, each with a distinctive appearance.

The first person exhibited a deathly pale complexion, a frail and withered frame resembling decaying wood.

The second individual's hair flickered like flames, emanating a chilling aura.

The third person appeared robust, with hair that seemed meticulously crafted from golden strands flowing down.

"System, analyze the races of these three individuals for me."

After scanning them, the system reported that they hailed from the Bone Demon Clan, Fire Demon Clan, and the Lava Lion Tribe respectively—an imposing trio.

All three had attained the Saint realm, establishing them as formidable entities beyond the immortal factions.

"It's odd; none of these three belong to the ancient Ye family. Normally, they shouldn't be able to enter without proper means. Could it be... they have harmful intentions toward my ancient Ye family?"

Ye Tian, sensitive to danger due to his dual lives, contemplated the situation.

"The prodigy of the ancient Ye family possesses an excessively potent innate talent. He mastered peerless swordsmanship within a few days of birth!"

"Yes, such talent. If not dealt with early, he might evolve into the second god emperor!"

The Fire Demon expert spoke cautiously, flames flickering in his eyes, and a palpable murderous intent in his words.

"We've endured suppression from the ancient Ye family for too long. Along with the current god emperor, our three factions were on the brink of extinction on the path to divinity!"

"And... beyond our three immortal factions lie the forbidden areas of life and the demonic forces, destined to engage in an irreconcilable feud with the god emperor!"

"In such a case... we must take action. We need to find a way to eliminate the god emperor's son during the family celebration to prevent future troubles."

The Bone Demon expert, articulate and unsettling, spoke words that sent shivers down the spine.

"Our clan should strike during the full moon feast. Our mission is merely to set up formations; hurry up, so no one from the Ye family notices, or we won't make it out alive."

"Quickly set up the teleportation array, and then we'll return to our respective families together."

The Lava Lion expert, impatient and hot-tempered, showed no interest in wasting time.

"Don't worry; even with the limited foundation of our three immortal factions, success is guaranteed."

"Don't forget, that person... facilitated our cooperation with the remnants of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone!"

"With the presence of the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone experts, the god emperor's son is destined to perish!"

They arrived to lay the groundwork, establishing teleportation arrays in various divine mountains. On the night of the full moon feast, they aimed to strike when the ancient Ye family was least prepared, eliminating the god emperor's son to eradicate future threats.

Ye Tian, witnessing all this, felt a fiery rage building within him.

They were disrupting his peaceful routine, planning to strike during the family celebration in the ancient Ye family.

Damn it, who did he provoke? He had been pretending to be weak and lying low, but now he was being targeted?

Upon hearing the Lava Lion expert's words, Ye Tian's mind was set ablaze with thoughts.

The ancient Ye family had protective formations. If they could come and go so easily, did that mean there was a secret within?

Could it be... there was more to this than meets the eye?!
