...

Autumn morning.

On a flat grassy area at the edge of a lush forest, nearly a hundred people sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed.

Their ages varied, some were eight or nine-year-old children, others were fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers. At this moment, their hands were folded in front of their abdomens in a strange posture. The air around them rippled, continuously spreading out from their bodies.

A cool breeze blew around them.

However, they seemed to feel no chill at all. Before long, they were all drenched in sweat, as if they were in a furnace. In the end, almost everyone's clothes were soaked through, as if they had just been fished out of a river. Despite this, no one moved.

"Thirty-six divine acupoints... I've broken through! I've broken through to the Life Seizing Realm..."

Suddenly, a voice filled with ecstatic joy broke the silence.

A tall and muscular young man suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, dancing around. His still somewhat childish face was flushed with excitement.

Almost everyone was startled awake, and their gazes turned to the muscular young man.

"Life Seizing Realm? It's Brother Su Wen! Congratulations, congratulations..."

"Su Wen... Have you really broken through?"

"Breaking through to the Life Seizing Realm at fifteen, Brother Su Wen is truly amazing."

"..."

After a brief moment of shock, everyone jumped up and gathered around the muscular young man, chattering incessantly, their eyes filled with admiration and joy.

The human body has 108 acupoints, some of which are blocked, while others are open.

Open acupoints are called divine acupoints, while the rest are dead acupoints. If one is born with nine divine acupoints open, they can harness the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. If they can open another twenty-seven dead acupoints, transforming them into divine acupoints, they have a chance to open the Divine Court and enter the Life Seizing Realm.

Life Seizing, as the name suggests, means to seize more life.

An ordinary person can live to be a hundred years old, but after opening the Divine Court and entering the Life Seizing Realm, their lifespan greatly increases, and they can generally live to be two hundred years old.

Breaking through to the Life Seizing Realm as soon as possible means one can advance further on the path of cultivation.

After a while, everyone quieted down a bit.

Su Wen, with a broad smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead, but then seemed to remember something and suddenly slapped his head. "Right, where is Brother Su Ye?"

"Brother Su Ye?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then almost simultaneously turned their gazes in the same direction. Thirty meters away, a black-clad young man sat quietly under the shade of a towering tree, his back as straight as a spear, like a spear planted in the ground.

The black-clad young man was older than the others, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with handsome features, but a rather slender build.

At this moment, his eyes were still closed, seemingly unaware of the commotion around him. However, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his facial muscles were twitching, his face pale as paper, as if he was enduring intense pain. Sweat dripped continuously from his chin.

"Brother Su Ye is trying to break through to the Life Seizing Realm again..."

"Su Ye has probably tried to break through to the Life Seizing Realm a thousand times. I hope he succeeds this time."

"Brother Su Ye was born with twenty-eight divine acupoints open, and by the age of eight, he had opened another eight dead acupoints, giving him thirty-six divine acupoints. He is the most outstanding genius in the history of our Gu Mu Su family. With Brother Su Ye's talent, even in the entire Da Luo Realm, he is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius. Unfortunately, Brother Su Ye has never succeeded in breaking through to the Life Seizing Realm. Otherwise, he would have already entered the Spirit Perception Realm or even the Profound Realm."

"Yes, it's been ten years now. Brother Su Ye has worked so hard."

"..."

Everyone murmured, looking at the black-clad young man called Su Ye with concern, but their eyes also showed admiration.

The Da Luo Realm is a world of cultivators.

In this world, various kinds of spiritual energy float in the air, and humans can harness this spiritual energy to cultivate. The path of cultivation has nine realms: Life Seizing, Spirit Perception, Profound, Dharmic Body, True Void, Absolute Thought, Mount Sumeru, Divine Abyss, and Feathered Ascension. Each breakthrough brings a significant increase in lifespan and strength.

In the vast Da Luo Realm, there are countless cultivator sects and families, and the Gu Mu Su family is one such cultivator family.

Gu Mu City has a population of hundreds of thousands, but it is still a small city in the southwestern region of the Da Luo Realm. In Gu Mu City, breaking through to the Life Seizing Realm at fifteen with thirty-six divine acupoints is already quite rare, let alone being born with twenty-eight divine acupoints and having thirty-six by the age of eight!

Such a person as Su Ye can only be described as a "super genius."

When this news spread from the Su family, it not only caused a stir in Gu Mu City but also created waves in the surrounding cities.

However, the situation that followed left everyone speechless.

Generally, after having thirty-six divine acupoints, breaking through to the Life Seizing Realm is challenging but not impossible. Even if a few people find it difficult to break through, they can still enter this realm by opening one or a few more dead acupoints.

But Su Ye was different.

After having thirty-six divine acupoints and failing multiple times to break through to the Life Seizing Realm, he continued to open more dead acupoints, but each attempt ended in failure.

Ten years have passed, and while outsiders may not know how many divine acupoints Su Ye has, it is common knowledge in Gu Mu City that he has never broken through to the Life Seizing Realm. Many people, including members of the Su family, believe that Su Ye will never achieve this.

However, regardless of what others think, Su Ye has never given up on cultivation and is even more diligent and hardworking than anyone else.

This has earned him the respect and admiration of many family members, especially among the younger generation of the Su family, where Su Ye is their idol.

"Brother Su Ye, you must succeed..."

Time quietly passed, and Su Ye's originally motionless figure began to tremble, his face contorted as if the pain inside him had intensified a thousandfold. Seeing this, the surrounding Su family members subconsciously clenched their fists, their eyes filled with worry.

"Spit!"

Almost in the next moment, Su Ye's body swayed, and a mouthful of blood spewed out, staining the ground in front of him red.

"Brother Su Ye!" "Su Ye!" "Brother Su Ye..." The Su family members' faces changed, and they all cried out in alarm, rushing over.

"Failed again!"

Su Ye took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the concerned faces and anxious eyes of those around him. A warm feeling rose in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and waved his hand. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm used to it!"

After spitting out the blood, Su Ye's face was no longer as pale as before.

"Su Ye, Su Ye, I think you should stop struggling. The Life Seizing Realm isn't something just anyone can break through. If it were me, I would have accepted my fate long ago and might have lived a few more years."

Before anyone could respond, a mocking voice suddenly sounded. Four young men, all about fifteen or sixteen years old, had appeared a few meters away, their faces full of ridicule and mockery.

"Again, you bastards! Get lost, you're not welcome here!"

Everyone was furious, especially Su Wen, who had just broken through to the Life Seizing Realm. He shouted angrily, his eyes glaring at the others, but Su Ye remained calm, still smiling, seemingly unaffected by the taunts.

"Don't get worked up."

One of the thin young men scanned the crowd and said with a grin, "This 'Falling Goose Valley' belongs not only to the Su family but also to the Tang and Qin families. We can come and stay as long as we want, and you have no right to tell us to leave."

"You..."

Su Wen was speechless, and the other Su family members gritted their teeth.

The Falling Goose Valley is very close to Gu Mu City, and the spiritual energy in the valley is much gentler than in other areas, making it very suitable for cultivation below the Life Seizing Realm. Gu Mu City has three major cultivator families: the Su, Qin, and Tang families, which are equally powerful. The Falling Goose Valley has always been jointly owned by the three families.

Seeing Su Wen and the others at a loss for words, the young man smirked, his eyes shifting to Su Ye with a look of pity. "Su Ye, you're not the genius everyone used to praise. You should accept reality and be content with being an ordinary person."

"Shut up!"

Seeing the young man taunt Su Ye so brazenly, the Su family members were furious and shouted in anger. Su Wen glared at him with eyes like copper bells. "Qin Feng, I think you're just itching for a beating. If that's the case, I'll oblige you!"

"Want to fight?"

Qin Feng, far from being afraid, showed excitement in his eyes and chuckled. "Su Wen, you just broke through to the Life Seizing Realm, right? Great, I'll show you the true strength of the Life Seizing Realm, but don't say I bullied you if you lose."

As he spoke, Qin Feng clapped his hands, and a crisp sound like metal clashing rang out. His pale hands quickly turned a light golden color.

"Boastful!"

Su Wen was instantly enraged.

As he roared, his already muscular body suddenly swelled, his muscles bulging, and his wet clothes seemed about to burst. His entire body was filled with explosive power.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, a calm voice suddenly interrupted, "Qin Hao, take your brother away. Don't cause trouble here."

It was Su Ye who spoke.

Everyone was taken aback and instinctively followed Su Ye's gaze. They saw a white figure appear a short distance behind Qin Feng, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old with a slender build. His face was already not very pleasant, and it turned even darker after hearing Su Ye's words.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Qin Feng turned his head and smiled.

Seeing the white figure, Su Wen's momentum was immediately dampened, and his eyes showed a hint of fear.

The other Su family members also became tense. The newcomer was Qin Feng's older brother, Qin Hao, who had entered the Life Seizing Realm two years ago and was much stronger than his brother. Su Wen had just broken through to the Life Seizing Realm and might not even be able to defeat Qin Feng, let alone Qin Hao.

If Qin Hao were to intervene, things would get complicated today, as the other side would have two Life Seizing Realm cultivators, while Su Wen was alone.

Many Su family members were already thinking about quickly returning to Gu Mu City to find some help.

Qin Feng was even more smug and turned to Su Ye with a sneer. "Su Ye, you have no right to speak here. Stay out of it..."

"Enough!"

Qin Feng's words were rudely cut off by Qin Hao, who had walked over. "Go back!"

"What? Brother, what did you say?"

Qin Feng was stunned and then shouted in disbelief.

Not only was Qin Feng unable to believe his ears, but the other Su and Qin family members were also stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. Qin Hao had actually called his brother back because of Su Ye's words?

"Go back!"

Qin Hao growled, his gaze turning to the other three Qin family members. "You three as well!"

Seeing the dark look on Qin Hao's face, Qin Feng and the others dared not say more and glared at Su Ye before leaving, looking like defeated roosters.

Qin Hao's eyes glared at Su Ye like a venomous snake, a hint of fear quickly hidden in his eyes. He said fiercely, "Su Ye, don't get too cocky. I'll come back for you!"

"Anytime!"

Su Ye smiled. "Goodbye, no need to see me off!"

Qin Hao snorted and quickly caught up with Qin Feng and the others. Their conversation left Su Wen and the others even more puzzled. Before Qin Hao and the others disappeared from the valley entrance, their gazes all turned to Su Ye, their curiosity and confusion evident.

"Brother Su Ye, why is that bad guy Qin Hao afraid of you?"

A little girl of eight or nine years old looked up at Su Ye with wide eyes.

Dozens of meters away, Qin Hao seemed to have heard this and stumbled, almost falling. He couldn't help but turn back and glare, his anger and shame no longer hidden. His steps quickened as he continued on.

"He's not afraid of Brother Su Ye. He's just more mature than his brother and doesn't want to cause trouble."

Su Ye patted the little girl's head and smiled brightly. "Younger brothers and sisters, continue your cultivation. Try to have thirty-six divine acupoints and break through to the Life Seizing Realm like Su Wen. Today is the day to clean the 'Immortal Ascension Pavilion,' so I have to go back."

Su Ye's figure soon disappeared from view, but the Su family members were even more puzzled.

Su Ye and Qin Hao, one who had failed to break through to the Life Seizing Realm for ten years and the other who had entered it two years ago, had a significant difference in strength. Logically, they shouldn't have any conflict. However, from the situation just now, something must have happened between them.

Moreover, it seemed that Su Ye had the upper hand, otherwise, Qin Hao wouldn't have backed down so easily!

Everyone lost interest in cultivation and gathered to speculate quietly. The results of their speculation only made these young people and children more excited.
