The Chaos Spirit Orb
While Xian Tiandi was still fantasizing about his future plans, a few people opened the door and walked into the room.
"This is the baby?"
"Yes, Patriarch."
"You found him by the door this morning?"
"Indeed, My Lord."
"I see."
Xian Tiandi heard footsteps, and soon he saw the faces of the men who entered the room.
'This is...'
He instantly recognized the man being referred to as Patriarch. He had long black hair and looked to be in his thirties.
He wore a black robe with golden patterns embroidered on it.
His gaze felt both kind and cold, but seeing him made Xian Tiandi smile.
'Good to see you, old man,' he thought.
The Patriarch raised an eyebrow at this.
"Hehe, it seems the baby likes you already," a beautiful woman beside him giggled and raised the baby up in her arms.
"Such a beautiful baby!" she exclaimed when she got a closer look at Xian Tiandi.
Xian Tiandi looked at her and tried to recall who she was until it struck him.
'She must be the Old Man's wife who disappeared in the past, Lady Su Mei,' he concluded.
'Hmm, I always wondered what happened back then. I'm not sure if I can help in this life.'
These people were from the Xian Family.
Don't be mistaken, they have no connection to the Xian Immortal Clan; they only bear a similar name.
Maybe this was why Xian Tiandi was dropped off at their doorstep, where he was found by one of the old maids in the Clan.
"Mei'er, you know we can't keep him. We'll send him to a branch family to look after him. His origins are still unknown."
'Huh? So you originally wanted to throw me off, old man?' Xian Tiandi was a bit surprised as he didn't know about this path in the past.
"What? No. I like him. Such a cute baby. I'll take care of him, okay? Please?" Su Mei pleaded.
"But... fine, we'll take care of him. As for you," he turned to the maid who was beside him, "speak no word of this to anyone."
"Yes, My Lord. I will do as you have said."
The Patriarch nodded at her response. He had some trust in her, after all.
After this, Xian Tiandi was taken to the Lord's Courtyard, where he was cared for.
The Patriarch, whose name was Xian Chen, found a spatial ring that was attached to a necklace. In that ring were a few cultivation manuals and a name tag.
[Xian Tian Di]
"So this is the child's name?" Su Mei looked at the name tag curiously.
But Xian Chen looked serious as he said, "This tag, the quality of the material used. I've never seen anything like it."
"You mean?" Su Mei guessed his exact thoughts.
"The child must have an extraordinary background. But, I just don't know if keeping him here will be a blessing or a curse."
"Xian Chen..."
Xian Chen smiled and hugged her. "Don't worry. Since I have given my word, I won't go back on it. We'll take care of the boy like our own. Besides, these few Manuals are enough to cause a bloodbath in the lower realms, but they will be my means to rise."
"That's what you think. My thoughts are different from yours," Su Mei laughed.
"Oh, how so?"
"Well, maybe this baby might just be what we need to have our very own."
"Indeed."
Truly they were right.
Because a year later, their first child was born, a bouncing baby girl.
Everyone welcomed the baby with open arms as the Patriarch's first daughter.
At the same time, Xian Tiandi had also been made an official clan member.
For large families like theirs, not everyone is a direct blood relative. Some have joined and, by their great contributions, were bestowed the Xian surname, while some were adopted by birth, and a few others, because of their talent, were taken into the family.
While all this was happening, Xian Tiandi was already taking his first steps toward his grand plan to rise to the peak of all worlds.
'Finally, after a year, I am now able to awaken the Chaos Spirit Orb.'
The Chaos Spirit Orb was another reason Xian Tiandi had the confidence to walk the strongest path to the peak of the Dao.
The Chaos Spirit Orb is one of the most supreme treasures of all time, and he is the first Master of it.
He acquired it in the Ancient Hidden Dimension along with the Golden Time Hourglass.
It was part of an inheritance that he was determined to practice in this life.
The Chaos Spirit Orb!
The Chaos Dao Cultivation Technique!
The Chaos Divine Body Technique!
The Chaos Spirit Refinement Technique!
The Chaos Battle God Compendium!
And lastly...
Records of Ancient Mysteries.
The Record of Ancient Mysteries granted him an epiphany.
Xian Tiandi saw a path that would make him the strongest across all worlds. A path of supremacy. A path no one had walked.
The Path of Beast Taming!
Xian Tiandi saw that there were certain Beast Spirits called Primordial Divine Beasts.
These Beasts were also called Beast Sovereigns.
Why so?
That's because they have the unique ability to cause all other beasts to submit to their beck and call.
But according to the Record of Ancient Mysteries, no one has been able to awaken them.
All for one reason only.
They lack the proper talent.
That is an affinity with Chaos Essence.
To be able to awaken such Divine Beast Spirits, you must have awakened Chaos Essence, but that's impossible as a cultivator's first contact with the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth only happens after they have awakened their Beast Spirit.
One cannot interact with or refine the world's essence energy, Qi, without a spirit root. And you can only awaken a spirit root after getting your Beast Spirit.
So how then can one succeed?
The answer lies in a few words.
Cultivate the Chaos Spirit Refinement Technique!
'Here goes nothing...'
