1: He was betrayed by his junior sister right from the start?

[Brain Deposit Station. Pure power fantasy novel. Please be gentle if you dislike it.]

"...Liu Yanran!!!"

Lin Chen's eyes snapped open, rage flooding his mind.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes filled with shock, pain, and disbelief... He never would have dreamed that his childhood sweetheart wife, also his most beloved Junior Sister, could do such a thing to him.

It hurt, it hurt so much!

But the pain in his body was nothing compared to the agony in his heart.

"I thought you were always silently supporting me from behind, but I never imagined you would..."

Recalling what had just happened, Lin Chen felt utterly heartbroken.

No one knew he was a Transmigrator.

When he first transmigrated, he was a lonely, helpless little beggar. Fortunately, when he was four, he was adopted by his kind-hearted Master and Master's Wife, becoming their Personal Disciple. They treated him extremely well.

When he was six, his Master's Wife passed away early, leaving behind a daughter two years younger than him, named Liu Yanran.

Lin Chen knew to be grateful, so from a young age, he took extra care of his Junior Sister.

Later, when Junior Sister turned eighteen, the two married following their Master's command.

After marriage, Lin Chen doted on Liu Yanran excessively.

After his Master failed his Lightning Tribulation and passed away, Lin Chen inherited his Master's position as the Sect Master of the Wending Sect.

Lin Chen's talent was decent; he had Cultivated to the Soul Transformation Realm in a mere hundred-plus years.

But he didn't give up on Liu Yanran. Instead, he spent countless time and effort pulling Liu Yanran up to the Golden Core Realm. Without her, with Lin Chen's talent, he would have long since Brokenthrough to a higher Realm.

Later, to avoid following in his Master's footsteps, Lin Chen listened to Liu Yanran's suggestion and decided to use the Wending Sect's secret technique to rebuild his Foundation.

He destroyed his own Dantian and crippled his Cultivation.

All to nurture a single Supreme Bone. With this Dao bone, his path to immortality would be smooth, and attaining the Dao would be within reach.

"Senior Brother, you just focus on nurturing the Supreme Bone. Leave everything else to me."

Liu Yanran's gentle words seemed like they were just spoken yesterday.

For the next ten years, Liu Yanran indeed took meticulous care of him, without complaint or regret.

Ten years later, the Supreme Bone reached Major Achievement.

At this point, Lin Chen finally had the qualifications to Ascend to the Summit... However, Lin Chen could never have imagined that his closest, most trusted Junior Sister would suddenly reveal a ferocious expression and strike him down with lethal intent!

He had no power to resist.

He could only watch helplessly as the other party dug out his Supreme Bone, then stood before him with a face full of disdain, venting all her dissatisfaction with him over the years:

"Ever since I was little, the sight of you has disgusted me!"

"Father knew full well that I liked Brother Ye Han, yet he insisted on making me marry you!"

"Brother Ye Han is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to meet Brother Ye Han in secret every time. After you die, we won't have to hide from anyone anymore!"

"You're really stupid. I persuaded you to destroy your Dantian and nurture the Supreme Bone, and you actually believed me!"

"As long as we get your Supreme Bone, Brother Ye Han will soar to the heavens!"

"When he succeeds the Ye Family head position in the future, I'll be the Family Head's wife!"

"..."

A single clear tear silently slid from the corner of Lin Chen's eye.

It wasn't because the pain in his body was unbearable, but because all these years, he had ultimately given his devotion to the wrong person.

At this moment, his heart died completely.

Liu Yanran, clad in a red dress, held a knife in her right hand and a bloody bone in her left.

Her beautiful face was full of hatred:

"All these years, I have never loved you! You got my body, but my heart has always been with Brother Ye Han!"

"Brother Ye Han said that once we get the Supreme Bone, we absolutely cannot let you live!"

"That way, you can never stop us from being together again!"

With that, the knife tip plunged down fiercely.

Then, Lin Chen completely lost consciousness... When Lin Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the same spot.

"I'm not dead?"

"No... I did die..."

"...But I'm alive again."

He slowly pulled out the sharp blade that had pierced through his chest.

He felt no pain at all. The wound had miraculously healed, his Dantian was perfectly intact as before, only the Supreme Bone and his Cultivation were gone.

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.

Recalling what that despicable couple Ye Han and Liu Yanran had done to him, Lin Chen's expression suddenly turned icy.

"Ye Han..."

This person was the youngest son of the Ye Family head.

From childhood, he never studied or worked, relying on his good looks and his family's wealth to chase women and stir up trouble everywhere.

Yet, Liu Yanran was utterly infatuated with Ye Han.

When their Master was alive, he deeply detested this kind of person and strictly forbade Liu Yanran from having any contact with him.

He had thought Liu Yanran would restrain herself after marriage. Little did he know she had repeatedly sneaked off to meet Ye Han behind his back, and under Ye Han's scheming, set up this shocking death trap for him.

"Heh, so all these years, you were just pretending."

"Since you never loved me, why did you marry me?"

"Hahaha..."

Lin Chen still remembered.

Because Liu Yanran needed to Breakthrough to Golden Core, he braved a dangerous Secret Realm, almost losing his life, to retrieve a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng.

But then... a few days later, Liu Yanran said she had accidentally lost it.

Lin Chen had no choice but to venture into that Secret Realm once more.

Although he found another Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng, he was severely injured in the process, requiring a long recovery that damaged his Foundation.

However.

Even though Liu Yanran's lies were clumsy, Lin Chen had never once doubted her.

Thinking about it now, the spirit ginseng Lin Chen risked his life to obtain was probably given by Liu Yanran to Ye Han.

Liu Yanran was right; he really was stupid.

Without Lin Chen, given Liu Yanran's talent, she probably would have struggled even to reach Foundation Establishment. Many people envied Liu Yanran for having such a husband, but in Liu Yanran's heart... he wasn't worth half a finger of her Brother Ye Han.

"Brother Ye Han?"

"That's laughable."

"Do you really think Ye Han likes you? He's just using you as a tool!"

"Who knows how many Cauldrons he has in private!"

"If you dug out my Supreme Bone to use it yourself, that would be one thing, but you insist on giving it to him..."

"You're utterly foolish!"

Lin Chen inwardly sneered.

Ye Han was about the same age as Lin Chen and had also Cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm, but in terms of talent and perseverance, he wasn't even worth one of Lin Chen's fingers.

He was inherently promiscuous. The only reason he kept clinging to Liu Yanran was because she threw herself at him for free.

But after learning about the Wending Sect's secret technique, he suddenly started currying favor with Liu Yanran.

And Liu Yanran naively believed that Ye Han's heart had finally been warmed by her, that as long as they got the Supreme Bone, Brother Ye Han would be with her... "In the past, how many Opportunities did I miss because I was taking care of you."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have taken over a hundred years to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation."

"Forget it, it's all in the past..."

"I'll give you your freedom."

"My life was given by Master. Consider it returned to him."

"From now on, we owe each other nothing. Our ties are severed!"

If it were anyone else, suffering such betrayal and humiliation would surely drive them to seek mad revenge.

But Liu Yanran... after all, she was the only Bloodline left in this world by his Master and Master's Wife.

For the sake of his deceased Master and Master's Wife, Lin Chen was willing to let it go, but that was all. If Liu Yanran caused trouble again in the future... then she shouldn't blame him for being merciless!

As for her Brother Ye Han... heh, let him pick out his coffin and wait for death!

Without the burden of Liu Yanran, Lin Chen actually felt lighter. He had enough confidence to Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm within a few decades.

He decided to leave this place again and nurture another Supreme Bone.

He slowly stood up.

However, right at this moment!

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and a string of mysterious text appeared before his eyes.

Lin Chen had never seen these characters before, yet he understood every single one... [Detected that Host has revived. Invincible Sect System activating...]

...[Activation successful!]

...[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the special reward for System activation: Golden Summon Card ×1. Would you like to draw now?]
