Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1244 - 815: Dreaming of Youthful Days

Baili An was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. On the day of his birth, numerous sects and clans traveled thousands of miles to Bai Tuo Mountain to congratulate his father.

His father, Baili Yu, is the Sect Master of the Tianxi Sword Sect at Bai Tuo Mountain, and his mother is the Princess Ying Ji from the Central Netherworld. Born with noble status, he is the Young Master of Bai Tuo Mountain, as well as the unreachable Crown Prince of the Central Netherworld.

On the day of his birth, all cultivators in the world envied the birth of this favored child of the heavens.

The long-standing dynasty of the Central Netherworld values legitimate heirs, limiting the family to one child to prevent conflicts over royal power and fraternal strife.

The marriage between Baili Yu and the Central Netherworld indirectly ended centuries of invasions by the Demon Sect. He even rejected numerous marriages with prestigious Immortal families for her.

By this calculation, Baili An is undoubtedly the sole heir of the Tianxi Sword Sect and the Central Netherworld Dynasty.

In the current world, it is full of mysteries, and the strong prevail. The forces of various Immortal and Demon Sects are widespread.

The war between the Righteous and Demon factions has lasted for millennia.

The Righteous Sect, led by the Tianxi Sword Sect, Taixuan Sect, and Cangwu Palace, jointly resist the Langya Demon Sect.

The Tianxi Sword Sect is in the east, Taixuan in the west, Cangwu Palace in the south. Together, they suppress the Langya Demon Sect to the Demon State in the North Border, preventing invasion into the Central Plains.

The Langya Demon Sect employs high-level tactics, skilled in seducing people’s hearts, constantly absorbing various demon sects into their fold over the years.

The Demon Heart increases day and night, growing ever more powerful, Evinacing a lurking potential to counterattack the Upper Pure Immortal Realm with the ferocity of wolves and tigers.

Moreover, Demon Sect members occasionally step into the Central Plains, committing massacres, blood-washing sects and factions, looting resources and Spirit Stones, even recklessly burning spiritual mountains, destroying their foundations.

The Central Netherworld Dynasty, positioned centrally within the three thousand worlds, maintains a neutral stance, always observing the struggle between the Righteous and Demon factions with a cold eye, never interfering in this fight.

The world says the people of the Central Netherworld are both righteous and evil, elusive and hard to discern.

Fortunately, later, Sect Master Baili Yu of the Tianxi Sword Sect captured the heart of the Central Netherworld Princess, forging a strong alliance.

This leveraged the power of the Central Netherworld to firmly suppress the Langya Demon Sect, nearly bringing it to its knees.

The Central Plains enjoyed peace for many years, welcoming the birth of the Young Master of Bai Tuo Mountain, the Crown Prince of the Central Netherworld, a true blessing from the heavens.

The birth of this child stabilized and harmonized the relationship between the Immortal Sect forces and the Central Netherworld Dynasty even further.

Yet heaven often loves to toy with mortals...

When the world placed high hopes on this Young Master of Bai Tuo Mountain, disappointment ensued...

Though Baili An held esteemed status, his aptitude was entirely inconsistent with his noble identity.

His Qi Sea was blocked, making cultivation difficult, his talent being extremely mediocre.

Nevertheless, there’s some consolation that this Young Master of Bai Tuo Mountain possesses a Spirit Root, just barely able to embark on the path of cultivation.

After all, among the hundreds of billions of mortals, those with Spirit Roots are extremely rare.

Of course, that rarity is in comparison to ordinary mortals.

With Baili An’s aptitude, in this elite Immortal family, setting aside his identity, he would likely only qualify to watch over the mountain gate.

Being in a high position, bearing heavy responsibilities, yet with an unremarkable talent ill-suited for major tasks, this was sure to attract the resentment of countless people, as well as the curses from the dark corners of hearts within the sect, hoping for his early demise.

In this way, the future of the Tianxi Sword Sect might fall into the hands of others.

Baili Yu, too, has an extremely proud nature, a prodigy, a dragon among men, a genius in cultivation. In his youth, he vanquished various demons and evil, gaining fame in one battle.

At a young age, he became the Sect Master of the Tianxi Sword Sect, wielding the power of life and death, and his smooth path in cultivation made him proud and untamed.

How could such a person allow his only son to be so mediocre?

His life is without a single blemish, yet this son became the first stain in his life.

Of course, this does not affect the love he has for his son.

However... this love becomes harsh and distorted amidst public criticism.

He would prepare a mountain of assignments for Baili An every day, making him practice day and night. After handling major sect affairs, he would find leisure time to personally supervise his son’s practice.

As a result, Baili An’s childhood was more often than not dull and tedious compared to his peers.

His cultivation talent was not too poor, reasonable of talent.

However, the peers surrounding him were like shining little suns, almost cruelly scorching and evaporating his day and night efforts.

In comparison, Baili Yu grew even more strict with his son, daily relying on Spirit Pills to replenish blood and energy.

In this way, even after sleeping for an hour, his spirit the next day wouldn’t be too bad.

Despite his father’s harsh demands and the burden of mountainous studies, Baili An never expressed any complaints.

Because his father taught him from an early age that his position in life naturally put him above others, enjoying resource benefits a thousand times that of others.

So the efforts he gave had to be naturally a thousandfold as well.

Baili An understood this well, almost all but burning himself out with day-and-night cultivation.

Unfortunately, his blocked Qi Sea made it challenging to circulate the mantras from cultivation methods through his body entirely.

So Baili An switched to another learning method, rote memorization.

Besides cultivating, he would steal moments to hide in the Book Collection Pavilion at Bai Tuo Mountain to read.

Fortunately, in terms of memory, the heavens kindly gave him an extraordinary memory far surpassing ordinary people.
