Chapter 56: Xin Dongyang
"Xin Guang, make preparations to leave for the Yin family's territory. We shall hear out their excuses ourselves. To think they would have the gall to make excuses after all this. They truly do not put the Sect's honor in their eyes... Also, bring Ru with you. Let us show those Yin family bastards what the Xin family truly hides!!"
"I shall immediately do so, my lord!!"

...
Xin Dongyang, his gaze filled with concern, questioned the young man before him.
"So you're really doing it, huh?"
The youth nodded in response, a sense of unwavering resolution in his eyes.
"That old hag... She's quite protective of her family even if they are in the wrong. Do you have a plan to convince her? Xin Dongyang asked, genuinely worried for the man's safety.
"When did I say I would convince her?"
However, the response he received took him by surprise.
"Hm?"
Dongyang couldn't hide his confusion as he sent a questioning gaze toward the youth.
With a strange glow in his odd-colored eyes, the young man replied, "I'll be giving her the last warning, a threat you could say."
Xin Dongyang couldn't help but express his concern and apprehension. "...and how would you do that?"
The youth remained resolute as he explained, "Family. I'll use the entirety of the Yin family as hostages."
A foreboding aura emanated from the youth as his odd-colored eyes began to glow ominously.
"Dao realm experts... Despite being so mighty, they can't do much against the Heavenly Dao. They can't act freely under the heavens. So... I just need to threaten her with power that is supreme under the Dao realm, something that could act freely under the Heavenly Dao."
Dongyang felt a shiver down his spine, realizing the gravity of the threat that his grandson intended to wield.

In the vast chaos, in a sea of countless stars
Located in the center of the star sea, on a gigantic star shining with a deep crimson glow, a humanoid creature with six arms made of crimson flames sat cross-legged. It opened its golden, sun-like eyes.
||Strange... Remembrance of the Dao?... Unlikely. Then... a prophecy?||
With the being's words, the flames on the star stirred up, and with its silence, the flames stilled. Then the being began to count on its six hands.
||The divination... Failed? How?... Has that being not yet been born?||
Saying this, the being halted, and after a few moments, it sent its intent toward its clone under the heavens.
This clone possessed only a portion of its consciousness, yet the being sought his clone to understand what had happened.
...
Xin Dongyang sighed as he received the message from his main body, contemplating the annoyances ahead. "Haa... To think such a monster would be born..."
He furrowed his brows in frustration. "Moreover, how am I supposed to find an unborn child with only the knowledge of his appearance? Not only that, immortal ascension changes one's appearance to a great extent!"
Running his fingers through his hair, he couldn't help but feel annoyed by the whole situation. "Well, whatever, it seems Yue'rs' child is about to be born soon... Let's do the search after seeing my grandchild!"
Xin Dongyang decided to postpone the daunting task for his future self, realizing that it was impossible to find a child who hadn't even been born yet(Definitely not because he wanted to be there when his grandchild was born)

Xin family estate,
On the day of Jianyu's birth,
"Such beautiful eyes..." "This child's name shall be Jianyu."
"Fufu looks like the young master likes the name~"
"Is that so?"
...
"Haha! You've given him a great name, Yue'r," Xin Dongyang laughed heartily as he arrived to see his grandson.
"Father, please be quiet or you'll wake up Jianyu," Yingyue's tone was cold and annoyed in contrast to her father's excitement, causing Dongyang to feel a bit sad.
"Alright... Then let me hold my grandson in my arms..." Yingyue sighed as she let her father hold her son while continuously telling him to be careful.
"Woah..." Dongyang gasped as he looked at his sleeping grandson. "How cute!" Xin Dongyang yelled out loud as he looked at his adorable grandson.
While Yingyue tried to warn him to be quiet, it was too late. Little Jianyu had opened his eyes, and Dongyang had widened his.
Jianyu's jewel-like amethyst eyes met Dongyang's fiery crimson ones. The amethyst eyes possessed a unique charm that stirred a possessive desire in anyone who gazed into them.
They were unforgettable, etching themselves into the memory of those who had the privilege of seeing them. Yes... they truly were 'unforgettable'.
'It's you...!!' Dongyang exclaimed, recognizing a familiar look of his grandson's eyes.

||Not him... Still can't divine... Yet to be born...||
Xin Dongyang's main body sent his clone a message after the clone expressed doubts about Jianyu's identity and the possibility that he might be the one mentioned in the 'divination'.
⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽ 3 years later☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅
"Hmm... Jianyu has remnants of his past reincarnations and adding his appearance... Are we sure he's not the one?" Dongyang asked his main body, as Jianyu had been growing to resemble that youth from the divination more and more.
Alas, he received a negative response and decided to give up.

"He's definitely the one, he has contrasting spiritual roots, dao fragments of contrasting nature, and not to mention immense talent in the cultivation of will..." Xin Dongyang muttered to himself as he sat in his cultivation chamber.
⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽Day of the core formation tribulation☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅
At Stellar Flame Peak, within Xin Dongyang's abode, Xin Dongyang was deeply immersed in his cultivation when he suddenly sensed someone approaching his peak. He instinctively extended his spiritual sense to investigate.
Down at the foot of the mountain, Lei Qiang felt herself being enveloped by Xin Dongyang's spiritual sense. Without a moment's hesitation, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Patriarch! The young master! He has entered his core formation tribulation...!"
Hearing this alarming news, Xin Dongyang was taken aback. Jianyu was still a considerable distance away from reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The only plausible explanation for this sudden development was that Jianyu had initiated his core formation tribulation prematurely.
However, this scenario was highly unlikely as Jianyu had no apparent reason to take such a risk. He had no rival of his age who could match his strength, and it was more probable for him to become complacent than to take such an unconventional step.
Recognizing the suspicious nature of the situation, Xin Dongyang determined that he needed to promptly relay this information to his main body for further consideration.
...
In the vast Chaos, upon a colossal crimson star, the six-armed flame giant arose from his lotus throne.
He seemed to take a deep breath, and then, with a resounding command, he exclaimed,
||WAKE UP, JIANYU...!||
As he opened his 'mouth,' thousands of stars in the vicinity of the crimson star began to expand, and the crimson star's flames spread out into the surroundings, consuming several stars in the process
