Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Hearing the furious rebukes of Ji Tian Chao, many onlookers at the scene all had a look of shame on their faces.

Indeed, the youth had returned Ji Yun Ge to the Ji Family, protecting their War God, and the return of a heroic spirit was a great merit to the Ji Family.

Let alone the fact the youth was of mixed heritage from another race, even if he were guilty of other crimes, he could be forgiven.

In this silence, Ji Tian Chao glanced at Ji Qing Feng, disappointment in his eyes, but he said nothing.

The grudges of the parents spanning onto their children, he had long been aware of it, but he never liked to explain, only hoping to kill more enemies, slay more Demons, so the other brothers and sisters could see that the father's bias, he couldn't refuse, but he could return this love back to the family!

From the crowd, someone rushed out, and upon seeing the unconscious Ji Yufen in the Guest Reception Hall, they exclaimed in shock and anger:

"Yufen!"

The mother's call made the youth at Li Hao's feet gradually regain consciousness.

"What wild breed dares to hurt my son!"

The woman clad in luxurious dark green clothes looked at Li Hao with shock and fury, uttering a scathing rebuke.

Ji Tian Chao and the others' faces changed slightly; although Ji Qingqing had done wrong by marrying someone from another race, Li Hao was still their grandson, carrying the same bloodline as theirs.

"Shut up!"

Ji Tian Chao barked. Discover exclusive content at empireNôv(el)B\\jnn

Hearing this commanding and authoritative voice, the face of the luxurious woman changed slightly, and she then realized she had misspoken, but still, with indignation in her heart, she said:

"Heavenly Dynasty War God, my son is a prodigy, you cannot be biased towards outsiders…"

"Your son is also worthy of being called a prodigy?"

Ji Tian Chao angrily said, "Defeated by someone else, and still has the face to insult others, when did my Ji Family's prodigies ever act like this!"

The luxurious woman hastily said, "But my son stepped into the Three Immortal Realms at fifteen, with peerless talent. Give him another twenty years, and he has a chance to reach the Tao Realm, how can he not be considered a prodigy?"

"If your son is a prodigy, how could he be defeated by someone else?"

Ji Tian Chao said with a cold voice.

Stepping into the Three Immortal Realms at fifteen, such talent, only he had the standing to say was not worthy of the title of prodigy, because his own youth was even more astonishing.

"Who knows what means that foreign race used, my son's name as a prodigy is earned through actual combat," the luxurious woman said through clenched teeth, glaring at Li Hao with hatred.

Ji Tian Chao's eyes were cold as he said, "If you are not convinced, let the two of them have a public contest again. If your son is defeated, then let's strip away his prodigy title from now on, how about that?"

As these words were uttered, the luxurious woman's face turned ugly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and in the end, she held back.

Seeing the other party dared not speak up, Ji Tian Chao snorted coldly and said:

"Your son has decent talent, but with a mother who dotes on him like you, I'm afraid he will only be ruined. Wilful and rude, where is the semblance of a prodigy? For the next ten years, let him cultivate on Kuyan Mountain. Unless he cultivates to defy fate, you and your son are not to see each other!"

"Heavenly Dynasty War God!"

The luxurious woman called out anxiously, but seeing the cold glare from Ji Tian Chao, her heart went cold, and she dared not say more.

"Elder Brother Nine, are you going to show favoritism towards this youth?"

From the crowd, a figure stepped forward, clad in ink-dyed long robes, exuding a sense of nobility.

Seeing this person, Ji Tian Chao and those beside him, such as Ji Yunqing, all showed a change in expression.

"Elder Brother!"

A complex and somewhat angry look flashed in Ji Tian Chao's eyes.

"I dare not claim such a thing," said the elder in the ink-dyed robes indifferently. "By adhering to family laws and traditions, our clan can thrive. You already broke the rules. Do you intend to continue doing so?"

Ji Tian Chao could tell what was implied in his words, his gaze turning grim, a tinge of pain subtly breaking through, he said:

"Elder Brother, our third brother has just passed away."

Upon hearing this, the elder in the ink-dyed robes' indifferent expression shifted slightly.

In his eyes, a flicker of surprise emerged upon seeing the sorrow at the bottom of Ji Tian Chao's eyes, his fingers within his sleeves unconsciously tightened slightly.

But quickly, his expression returned to its previous cold detachment, colder than before, he said:

"Before he passed, didn't he come to see me, his elder brother, even once?"

Ji Tian Chao gave a bitter smile and said, "Elder Brother, our third brother is but a weary heroic spirit. Shouldn't it be you visiting him?"

The man in the ink-dyed robes was silent.

Ji Tian Chao looked at him deeply, his disappointment hard to hide. However, soon after, he reined in his emotions, his gaze turning icy as he surveyed the entire room.

When he saw the countless faces around him, he coldly enunciated each word:

"Our clan laws and traditions must indeed be observed, but our clan holds that the strong rule, the capable rise to the top. Everyone has the opportunity for advancement, as long as you are outstanding, as long as you are a prodigy. No matter your origin, legitimate or illegitimate, even if you're a house slave, you can become a prodigy and enjoy the highest cultivation resources of the family!"

"Does anyone object to this?"

The room fell silent, this was the longstanding rule of the Ji Family, and no one opposed it.

The capable on top, the strong revered, is a common rule and awareness in the Great Wilderness Heaven.

Ji Tian Chao's gaze was icy as he said, "Since everyone agrees, then his defeat of Ji Yufen also qualifies him as a prodigy of our clan, deserving of the treatment for a family prodigy!"

Ji Qing Feng's expression changed slightly as he looked towards his father, only to see his own father in the ink-dyed robes lift his line of sight slightly, gazing towards the peak of Sacred Mountain, as if in a trance.

"I, I have not been defeated yet!"

In this silence, a voice rang out, belonging to Ji Yufen who was attempting to rise to his feet at Li Hao's side.

His face flushed with red, filled with shame and anger, being witnessed by so many, to be defeated by someone of mixed blood was utterly humiliating!

"Go back to sleep."

Li Hao raised his hand, slapping the back of Ji Yufen's head, sending him, who had just stood up, crashing back into the deep pit at his feet.

The youth who had just awakened was now once again plunged into sleep within a second.
