Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Lin Hao shook his head and let out a sigh, "I am someone who dislikes constraints; I just want to lead a life of peace and leisure! This time, the reason I chose to stay is that I've lived long enough; it's time for me to enjoy life!

"I don't want to live like before, in constant fear and endless darkness!" Lin Hao added.

Hearing this, Lin Yi fell into silence.

Indeed, Lin Hao had lived for over a hundred years; one could say he had lived long enough.

"Whether your master's injuries can be healed, no one can say for sure! The only plan for now is to find the Jiuyou Demon Flower; only then might there be a chance to cure your master's injuries!" Lin Hao said earnestly.

"The Jiuyou Demon Flower is the highest-level Spiritual Medicine in the Demon Realm; it is said to be the most precious Spiritual Medicine of the Jiuyou Demon Clan. However, this type of Spiritual Medicine has not been seen in the territory of the Myriad Demon Valley, so it's essentially untraceable! Unless one who is fated happens to encounter the Young Master of the Jiuyou Demon Clan, perhaps then one might learn from him!"

"But meeting the Young Master of the Jiuyou Demon Clan is not so easy!" Lin Yi remarked.

"Perhaps so," Lin Hao said with a sigh.

"Master, you need not worry too much! That you managed to escape by chance and helped me break through my bottleneck, advancing to Martial King, is something we should both be grateful for!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

At these words, Lin Yi's expression softened somewhat.

"Junior Brother, you're right; your breakthrough to Martial King is truly remarkable! Do you know, your opportunity this time is no small matter! Our Myriad Demon Valley, throughout the eons, can be considered one of the forebears!" Lin Yi exclaimed.

Lin Yi was indeed talking about no small chance, because he learned of it from a once-in-a-generation genius of the Myriad Demon Valley, a disciple from a thousand years ago.

That genius was Lin Yi's direct disciple and his only nephew, named Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan had reached the Martial Venerable Realm a thousand years ago and even had his own estate, becoming one of the Martial Marquis powerhouses of the Myriad Demon Valley.

While cultivating himself, Lin Yi also took the time to ask for guidance from Lin Xuan.

Gradually, Lin Xuan took an interest in Lin Yi's cultivation and thus taught him some secret techniques for training.

Although Lin Yi did not understand what Sword Intent was, he had grasped the essence of the Sword Path.

Seeing that Lin Yi was a cultivation prodigy, Lin Xuan took him as his closed-door disciple and personally started to guide his cultivation.

Under Lin Xuan's tutelage, Lin Yi's cultivation speed grew faster and faster.

A thousand years ago, Lin Yi's Cultivation had already far surpassed Lin Xuan's, but in terms of training, he was still relatively weak and his cultivation speed slow.

It wasn't until he met Lin Hao and spent several years together that he slowly surpassed Lin Hao.

Lin Hao's talent and aptitude were second to none in the entire Myriad Demon Valley!

But still, Lin Yi had not caught up with Lin Hao.

It was only after Lin Hao disappeared that Lin Yi came to understand.

Right then and there, Lin Yi decided to go into closed-door cultivation, both training and searching for Lin Hao.

Today, a thousand years later, Lin Yi's strength had reached the later stages of Martial Sovereign.

And Lin Xuan had become the Martial Emperor of the Myriad Demon Valley!

To Lin Yi, the Lin Xuan of a thousand years ago was like an insurmountable chasm!

However, today, a thousand years later, the Myriad Demon Valley had surpassed its past self and showed an unprecedented prosperity that didn't exist before!

One could say that the rise of the Myriad Demon Valley was completely natural!

"Senior Brother, should I now start closed-door cultivation?"

"Hmm, you start preparing for seclusion. Once you've broken through to the peak of Martial Sovereign, your master will tell you a piece of great news!" Lin Yi said.

Lin Hao nodded, then stepped into the secret chamber.

After entering the secret chamber, he immediately sat cross-legged in meditation!

This time, he intended to apply all his knowledge of swordsmanship to the cultivation of his Sword Sect Realm, aiming for a breakthrough!

A day later, Lin Hao opened his eyes.

He found that the primordial energy within his body had become much more abundant, as if it had suddenly become more condensed.

"Finally, I've broken through to the peak of the Martial Sovereign level!"

"The illness of my mentor has hope of being cured!"

A smile appeared on the corners of Lin Hao's mouth, and he began to circulate the "Infinite Sword Tome."

On a mountaintop within Jiuyou Valley, an elderly woman was cleaning the vegetation in the ravine.

This old woman was the steward of Jiuyou Valley, Mother Zhang.

Although Mother Zhang's status in Jiuyou Valley wasn't particularly low, among the many elders, she was ranked at the bottom.

She was indeed over fifty years old.

Mother Zhang was one of the earliest followers of Lin Yi in Jiuyou Valley and one of the strongest in terms of cultivation. However, due to her advanced age, she could no longer continue her cultivation practice.

Therefore, the Valley Master of Jiuyou Valley had placed her in the backyard to take care of the greenery.

These days, Mother Zhang spent every day clearing weeds in the ravine and watering various fruits and vegetables.

Behind Mother Zhang were several towering trees.

These giants were ancient trees over tens of thousands of years old, each one's value immeasurable!

Moreover, these towering trees bore purple-red fruits!

The flesh of these fruits contained pure spiritual power and were brought from outside the heavens by an elder of Jiuyou Valley ten thousand years ago.

These fruits could enhance the body, improve the Martial Soul, and were even more beneficial for cultivation!

However, since the fruits were so rare, the Valley Master of Jiuyou Valley had to forgo them, leaving only some Spirit Fruits for the disciples to consume!

Although these Spirit Fruits were difficult to ingest, they were incredibly precious treasures present-day after ten thousand years!

Because consuming a Spirit Fruit could bring substantial benefits, and even increase the chances of a breakthrough!

Lin Yi, ten thousand years ago, broke through to the Martial Saint level with just one purple-red Spirit Fruit, and even had the potential to break through the Martial Venerable Realm!

However, at that time, Lin Yi was just an average disciple without any fame.

Ten thousand years later, Lin Yi became the Valley Master of Jiuyou Valley, with formidable strength and a great reputation.

Back in the day, Lin Yi was also a peerless genius, but due to his defeat in a conflict with Lin Xuan, he ultimately perished.

Although Lin Yi had perished, as an elder of Jiuyou Valley, news of his death spread throughout the entire valley!

The people of Jiuyou Valley were filled with regret because Lin Yi's cultivation was much stronger than Lin Xuan's.

Regrettably, because of the conflict between Lin Yi and Lin Xuan, he fell completely, and this conflict plunged Jiuyou Valley into turmoil.

The elders of Jiuyou Valley were all speculating on what could have caused their Valley Master and the peerless genius Lin Xuan from ten thousand years ago to become sworn enemies, leading to the fall of Lin Xuan and their Valley Master's ruination.

Among their speculations, it could have been that their Valley Master had a personal grudge with Lin Yi, which led to their fierce battle.
