“So you are a cultivator? And that also means that you are still alive elsewhere?”
“Oh? You know about cultivators?” Chen Zhen asked with a frown; he didn’t expect Chen Li to know about cultivators. “To answer your question, I am indeed still alive, and I live in a realm far from your rotten mortal realm.”
Chen Li frowned at his father’s confession, then he asked coldly. “If you are alive, why did you leave my Mom alone?”
Chen Zhen laughed at his question and disdainfully mocked Chen Li. “Heh! She’s just a useless mortal, and she’s getting older as time passes, so I’m getting tired of her.”
“Shut up! Don’t you dare to insult my Mom even if you are my father!” Chen Li shouted loudly as he clenched his fists tightly.
Chen Zhen laughed and smirked. “I am your father, but I am not her husband.”
“What do you mean by that?” Chen Li asked as his face darkened.
“Ha ha!” Chen Zhen laughed loudly, and his face turned into another man’s. “Back then, I accidentally killed the real Chen Zhen when running away from my enemies. However, I didn’t expect that he had just gotten married and had such a beautiful wife. So I transformed myself into him and temporarily sealed my cultivation to avoid my enemies. As for the rest, you must already know everything, right?”
“What!?” Chen Li was shocked by his words but immediately took a deep breath. He was trying to control his emotions that were about to explode, for he wanted to extract information from him. “If you are not Chen Zhen, then who are you?”
“Hmm, it wouldn’t hurt to tell my own son. My real name is Sun Taiyang, and I live in the Three Realm. However, you don’t need to ask the location of my realm, for you can never go there .” Sun Taiyang said disdainfully at Chen Li.
Chen Li was furious but still remained calm. “If you are that strong, why don’t you bring us into your realm?”
Sun Taiyang shrugged nonchalantly and said. “Why should I uselessly bring mortals like you guys into my realm? Moreover, I also have my own family in there. Coincidentally, those stupid mortals wanted to kill me back then, so I pretended to be dead and returned to my realm.”
“You bastard!” Chen Li’s emotions immediately exploded after he said that, and he tried to attack Sun Taiyang. However, the power of his soul imprint was still too strong for him, for he was an old and experienced cultivator.
Sun Taiyan laughed loudly at that. “Haha! You, a useless mortal, want to attack me? If you were not my son, I would destroy your soul right away.”
Suddenly, Chen Li’s emotions exploded, and his body was enveloped by a golden-colored aura, and his eyes also turned golden. He then broke the restriction Sun Taiyang had placed on him, swiftly attacked him, and sent him flying backward.
*Bam*
Sun Taiyang slammed into the ground hard, and he screamed in shock, especially after he felt the power of Chen Li’s attack. “Impossible! How can a mortal like you have that much power?”
“Do you think I’m a useless mortal?” Chen Li asked coldly; he then flew towards Sun Taiyang and stepped on his chest. “Let me tell you one thing, I am currently a cultivator; not only me but my Mom and Meiyi are also cultivators.”
“Impossible! There is no Qi in your mortal realm! There is no way all of you can become cultivators!” Sun Taiyang shouted at him with increasing shock. He tried to free himself from Chen Li’s feet, but he didn’t budge.
“Heh! You seem to have gone senile, huh?” Chen Li spoke to Sun Taiyang in an icy tone.
Chen Li stretched out his hand, and soon golden flames appeared in his palm, and Sun Taiyang cried out in shock. “Golden Flames!”
Not only Sun Taiyang, but Chen Li himself was also shocked to see the flames. Yesterday, his flames were still crimson with golden in some spots, but now his flames had turned entirely golden.
“What do you think will happen to your body if I burn your soul imprint with my golden flames?” Sun Taiyang shuddered at Chen Li’s words. “Since you killed my mother’s real husband and made her suffer for so long by pretending to be dead. For starters, I will burn your soul imprint. However, I will go to the Three Realm to meet you in the future, and I will kill you and your relatives with my own hands.”
Chen Li waved his hand, and his golden flames instantly burned Sun Taiyang’s soul imprint, causing him to scream in agony until he disappeared.
After his soul imprint disappeared, Chen Li clenched his fists and muttered coldly. “Sun Taiyang! Three Realm! It’s best if all of you prepare to face my wrath in the future.”
After saying that, Chen Li disappeared from the place. But strangely, he didn’t return to his body. Instead, he moved to another strange place, and time seemed to stop there.

“Where am I now?” Chen Li muttered to himself as he continued to survey the surrounding area.
The place looked beautiful and filled with all kinds of plants and animals, but soon he felt something strange because all the creatures did not move, and it was as if their time had stopped.
Also, the water from a small waterfall not far from his location also stopped flowing. He approached it and tried to touch the water, and his hands got wet after touching it. “This place is peculiar.”
Then Chen Li’s eyes fell on a small house in the heart of a small lake; the fish jumping from the water also stopped in the air. Curious, he started walking towards the house and immediately entered it. However, there was nothing in the house except for a small bed with plain white curtains.
Chen Li then walked towards the bed, and he was surprised when he opened the bed curtain, for there was a little girl with a pretty face and very long white hair on the bed.
“Why do I feel like I’ve seen this girl before?” Chen Li wondered because he felt so familiar with the little girl and deeply longed for her; he then started to caress her cheek. “Who are you really? Why do I feel so close to you? I feel like I’ve known you for a long time but can’t remember you.”
Her appearance looked like a little girl’s, but she was actually an ancient. She had long white hair that fell loosely, her face looked so mature, and her body exuded such a divine aura, making Chen Li feel very peaceful by her side.
A few moments later, the little girl opened her eyes, especially after she felt Chen Li’s caress. She was stunned looking at him, and her eyes kept blinking. She observed his face for a while, and her smile bloomed.
The girl then put her arms around Chen Li’s neck and asked with a smile, “So you are my current Master?” ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
Chen Li was taken aback by her question. “I am your Master? What do you mean by that?”
“You are Song Tianyi’s sole heir, right?” Even though he felt confused, Chen Li nodded at her. “I knew it! You won’t be able to enter this realm without a soul contract, and I only have a soul contract with him. However, after he died, he bequeathed everything to you.”
“So you are a spirit girl?” Chen Li finally understood her identity.
“Yes, I am, and I can feel two soul contracts in your soul.” The little girl paused momentarily; Chen Li felt she was looking into his soul. She then smiled mischievously and said again. “Little Huoli is beside you, right? However, I did not expect you to have already met Little Guang’s reincarnation and dual cultivated with her.”
Chen Li smiled wryly at her words, and he was confused about how the little girl knew all that. “Anyway, who are you really?”
She smiled and briefly kissed his lips, making Chen Li speechless, and she introduced herself. “My name is Xiao Shijian, and I am the Spirit of Time! Never forget my name again, okay?”
“Oh? So you are Xiao Shijian, the eldest spirit girl that Sister Huoli told me about before.” Chen Li nodded in understanding. However, he was no longer surprised by her small form, especially since Xiao Huoli had told him that she could only sometimes use her true form, or else she would run out of Qi. “But where are we now?”
“This place is my personal realm; I named it the Time Realm.” Xiao Shijian then caressed Chen Li’s cheek, and her gaze was filled with deep longing. “Little Master, you’ve been here too long, and your soul will be hurt if you continue to be here, so I’ll send you out of this realm of mine now.”
Chen Li started to hear Xiao Shijian’s words. “Wait a minute-”
Before Chen Li finished speaking, Xiao Shijian had already waved her little hand and sent him out of her realm, and she muttered to herself. “I’m glad to meet you again, Old Friend. I hope your current reincarnation can make you return to your whole self again, and I will see you soon.”
After she said that, Xiao Shijian closed her eyes again, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
