My father ascended to immortality.
Before he left, he gave my mother a protective immortal treasure, saying it would ensure that she and I lived in honor and comfort for the rest of our lives.
But later, a junior sister came to the sect.
The sect leader said she was blessed by the Mandate of Heaven and was the sect’s hope for rising to greatness.
The elders went mad over her. Even the immortal treasure my father left behind voluntarily recognized her as its master.
My mother refused to accept it and went to confront her.
But in front of the entire sect, the junior sister accused my mother of trying to harm her, then dug out my mother’s spiritual root with her own hands.
They threw my mother into the Water Prison as punishment.
As for me, I became a blood bag for raising spirit beasts, barely clinging to life.
Until one day, the sky shattered, and a figure stepped through the void.
My father, who had ascended three hundred years ago, had returned.
He looked at my mother, gaunt and haggard in the Water Prison, then glanced at the countless bloodied holes covering my body.
He smiled.
“Great fortune? You’re nothing but parasites stealing the Mandate of Heaven’s blessings.”
“Today, I’ll cut off this stolen fortune, root and branch!”
