“No, no, in Molly’s heart, Dad has always been amazing.”

Morgan Yates shook his head and said. Ever since Morgan Yates could remember, he had heard many stories about Quentin Yates. That Dad who had been bedridden for years, yet created one legend after another in the Tianwu Kingdom.

“Dad wasn’t capable enough to find your mother. Dad hopes you can bring her back. This is the only wish Dad has had in his entire life.”

Quentin Yates slowly closed his eyes, and a tear slid from the corner of Quentin Yates’s eye.

“Violet, wait for me to become stronger. I will walk into your clan with pride and openly marry you!”

This was the promise Quentin Yates once made to Violet, but he was never able to fulfill it.

This time, Morgan Yates didn’t cry out loud. Instead, he was unusually calm—so calm it was almost frightening. In his eyes, a faint red glow flickered.

However, just as Quentin Yates had died, a wisp of illusory black energy drifted out from Morgan Yates’s body, wrapping around Quentin Yates’s corpse. Soon, the black energy gradually faded, and a startled voice echoed: “What’s going on?”

Unfortunately, Morgan Yates didn’t hear this voice at all, as if it didn’t exist in this world.

Immediately after, a phantom light shot out from Quentin Yates’s body, unnoticed by Morgan Yates, streaked out the window, and finally disappeared completely.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and William Yates pushed his way in.

When William Yates saw the scene before him, his face changed dramatically. He rushed over and asked in surprise, “Morgan Yates, what happened here?”

“When Dad was circulating his dantian, it suddenly exploded, and then a black yuan energy beast burst out from his dantian.”

Morgan Yates said weakly.

“A yuan energy beast? Could it be a sealing talisman?”

William Yates was shocked in his heart.

Morgan Yates frowned and asked anxiously, “Uncle Yates, what exactly happened? What is this sealing talisman?”

“I only heard that Quentin Yates once had a conflict with someone. In a certain battle, that person defeated Quentin Yates and crippled his dantian. I didn’t expect that he even used a talisman to seal Quentin Yates’s dantian. Once the talisman enters the dantian, as soon as the dantian circulates again, the seal will transform into a beast with intelligence, burst out, and destroy the dantian.”

“Damn it!”

Morgan Yates clenched his fists tightly, a surge of resentment welling up inside him.

“Morgan Yates, wasn’t Quentin Yates’s dantian damaged? Wasn’t he unable to circulate it?”

William Yates suddenly thought of this and couldn’t help but ask.

“Ever since my dantian could absorb the world’s yuan energy, I’ve been sneaking into Dad’s room every day to help him nourish his body.”

Morgan Yates answered gloomily, his tone neither light nor heavy.

“What? You mean for the past five years, you’ve been using all the yuan energy your dantian absorbed to help Quentin Yates nourish his body?”

William Yates was shocked. Using the yuan energy absorbed by his dantian every day to nourish Quentin Yates’s body meant that for five years, this guy hadn’t converted any yuan energy into yuan force to open his own meridians.

Was this really a useless person with no progress for five years? And he persisted for five whole years—how much determination did that take?

“Haha, it’s really ridiculous. In order to help Dad stand up, I gave up five years, I endured for five years, I persisted for five years—five whole years! But all that persistence was defeated by a single talisman.”

Morgan Yates roared loudly, then a murderous aura burst from his body. Morgan Yates’s brows were tightly furrowed as he said coldly, “Who exactly is that person?”

“Morgan Yates, don’t be impulsive. I don’t know who that person is. Even if you did, what could you do? Our The Yates Family may have some status in Shiyan City, but in front of him, we’re nothing. What you need to do now is make yourself stronger!”

William Yates shook his head and said. Morgan Yates wanting revenge was simply a fantasy.

Morgan Yates clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood.

That person could fight Dad ten years ago. After ten years, his strength must have reached a terrifying level.

Morgan Yates’s childhood dream was to surpass Quentin Yates and become a renowned powerhouse in the Tianwu Kingdom, but that dream had been crushed by reality.

Quentin Yates had fallen. In order to help his father stand up, Morgan Yates gave up his own cultivation, endured the beatings of direct disciples for years, and used all the yuan energy he absorbed each day to nourish Quentin Yates’s dantian.

Now, Quentin Yates’s death not only ignited Morgan Yates’s desire to become strong, but also his thirst for revenge.

Within his dantian, the Imprisoned Dragon Ascending Pillar began to tremble violently, countless dragon roars erupting madly!

A hidden dragon in the abyss, soaring to the heavens!

Chapter 3: Imprisoned Dragon Ascending Pillar

Ever since Quentin Yates’s fall, Morgan Yates’s status in the The Yates Family had plummeted, and his days grew worse and worse.

At first, Morgan Yates could still receive ten taels of broken silver as a monthly allowance. But after the The Yates Family realized that Quentin Yates had no hope of recovery, Morgan Yates lost even that, and had to work as a pill boy for the The Yates Family’s alchemists.

If it weren’t for Uncle Foster going out to work every day to earn a little silver, Morgan Yates himself would have had to do odd jobs to make a living.

Quentin Yates’s death didn’t alarm many people; only a very few in the The Yates Family knew about it.
