Chapter 5 I am Chen Li

  In the following two days, Chen Li persisted in operating the Yin-Yang Mutual Generation Method of the Chaotic Heaven Scripture. He finally successfully transformed a thread of more subtle Primordial Yang energy from the thread of Pre-Heavenly Extreme Yin energy within his body. Although this Primordial Yang energy was less in quantity than before, it was much purer due to being transformed from Pre-Heavenly Extreme Yin energy. As long as Chen Li practiced the Chaotic Heaven Scripture every day and continued to operate the Yin-Yang Mutual Generation Method, the Primordial Yang energy within his body would eventually transform from a small stream into a vast ocean!

  "Master, you're awake? Quick, go tell the master of the house that Master is awake!"

  Chen Li finally cultivated a wisp of yuan yang energy, and slowly opened his eyes. His sixth uncle, who had been attending to him all along, was overjoyed at this unexpected turn of events, and immediately gave orders to the servants by his side:

  "Li'er, are you awake? Grandpa has come to see you! My dear grandson, grandpa is sorry for you! You've suffered!"

  Mr. Chen rushed over in three strides, grabbed Chen Li's hand as soon as he entered the door, looked at him with a worried expression, and muttered non-stop;

  "How come he's so lucky? Why didn't he just die?! Now that he's survived, our Chen family is doomed!"

  "You said that even if he didn't die, it would be better for him to become a vegetable! In this way, we can still account for the Lin and Dongfang families. But at this time, you actually woke up, you are really the disaster star of our Chen family!"

  "You were born and your parents died, not to mention that now our entire Chen family is going to be plunged into turmoil because of you. If things go wrong, the whole family will be destroyed in an instant. Did our Chen family owe you a debt from a past life?"

  The two young masters of the Chen family, namely Chen Lide's uncle Chen Zhijian and second uncle Chen Zhihao, followed closely behind Old Master Chen Bingkun as they walked in. The two of them looked at Chen Lide who had come back to life, seemingly very disappointed, and began scolding him nonstop;

  "Get out of here, both of you!"

  "You two scoundrels, have you forgotten how your younger brother died? If not for the death of Eldest Third, would our Chen family be where we are today? If not for Eldest Third's sacrifice, could you two still stand here intact and speak ill of him in front of his only child?"

  "I'm emphasizing again, as long as I'm in charge of the Chen family, even if it's the King of Heaven himself, he can't touch a single hair on Li Tie's head!"

  Old Mr. Chen was furious, his whole body trembling as he pointed at his two sons and loudly scolded them.

  "Father, Zhihui has indeed made many sacrifices for our Chen family, but now we are surrounded by powerful enemies who are watching our every move. If you continue to protect this good-for-nothing, and don't give Lin Yuanshan and the Dongfang family an explanation, it will lead our Chen family into a desperate situation!" Intimidated by Old Master Chen's majesty, Chen Zhijian retreated several steps towards the door, but still insisted on expressing his views.

  "Yes! Big brother is right, our Chen family's power is not trivial, but if we were to confront both Lin Yuan Shan and the Dongfang family at the same time, I'm afraid it would really put our Chen family in a desperate situation! Father, you must think thrice!" Second son Chen Zhi Gao also chimed in;

  "Get out! All of you get out! I never want to see these two good-for-nothings again! Bang!"

  Old Master Chen, in a fit of rage, picked up the chair beside him and smashed it over, scaring Chen Lao Da and Chen Lao Er into fleeing with their heads covered. Meanwhile, Chen Li, who was lying on the bed silently watching everything, was moved to tears by the old man's protective heart.

  He had thought that after hundreds of years of cultivation, his heart had reached the state of great perfection, and he had long since looked down on the worldly affections and grudges. Especially after fully accepting the memories of the original Chen Li, he had a deep understanding of his tragic life and his short twenty-year life as a wealthy young master. Chen Li had once thought that the original Chen Li was thoroughly dead, and he had only accepted his memories and replaced his identity. However, when this old man looked at him with eyes full of kindness and regret, his heart unexpectedly produced a slight crack, allowing Chen Li's memories to slowly merge with his own. Especially when he saw that this old man had risked the entire family's safety to protect his life, he was deeply moved by the old man's selfless love and allowed the original Chen Li's memories to cover his own, merging them thoroughly, and he willingly accepted his current identity.

  From now on, I am no longer Chen Li who failed to transcend the tribulation in the Xiu Zhen realm. I am Tian Zi No. 1 of the Chen family in Huaguo, Chen Li. Chen Bingkun is my grandfather, and I, Chen Li, will forever be his grandson!

  After Chen Li had thought through all of this, the miserable circumstances of his life and the absurd things he had done over the past twenty years all flooded into his mind, causing him to burst into loud wailing.

  "Grandpa, I was wrong!"

  When Chen Li said this with tears, Chen Bingkun turned around and held his head in his arms, and two lines of old tears also flowed from the corners of his eyes. He was heartbroken for Chen Li's miserable fate and regretted that he had been too indulgent to him over the years, allowing him to be too self-willed.

  Because of Chen Li's parents' early death, Old Master Chen spoiled him to the point where he was afraid of dropping him, and tried every means to make up for the love he lacked from his parents. Whatever Chen Li wanted, even if it meant exhausting the Chen family's resources, would be granted to satisfy his wishes. Moreover, due to being busy with family and gang matters, Old Master Chen neglected to discipline Chen Li properly, allowing him to fall prey to the manipulations of Eastern Family's mole, Chen Yifei. Under Chen Yifei's deliberate guidance and temptation, Chen Li committed many absurd acts, earning himself the notorious reputation as the number one young master!

  "Li'er, you're not wrong, all the mistakes are on Grandpa's part! As long as you sincerely reform, Grandpa will risk his old life to fight for this opportunity for you!" Old Man Chen said with a resolute tone, wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes.

  "Father, something terrible has happened! Lin Yuan Shan has brought a large group of people and surrounded our Lin family home. The master of the Dongfang family has also come with many people. I think it's best to hand over Chen Li, that jinx, to them!" Chen Li's second uncle, Chen Zhi Gao, rushed in and said anxiously.

  "Get out of here!"

  After Old Master Chen angrily shouted and drove his second son out, he said to Liu Shu, the trusted steward who followed him:

  "Is everything ready?"
