The Villainous Ancestor Who Seizes Destiny and Ascends as the Supreme Immortal Emperor - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Since You Killed My Son, You Must Bear Me Another!!!

“Ancestor! Something terrible has happened! The Young Master… he… he has fallen!”

The panicked cry shattered the stillness atop the Azure Immortal Sect’s main peak.

Within the vast and solemn Main Hall, Lu Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes from atop the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Throne.

The hall was immense, easily capable of holding a thousand people. The ground beneath was paved with flawless Ethereal Dream Jade, its warm glow releasing faint strands of spiritual energy that drifted like mist.

One hundred and eight towering pillars of Purple-Gold Nanmu Wood stretched to the ceiling, each carved with dragons and phoenixes. Intricate Formation Patterns shimmered across their surfaces, constantly drawing in and circulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, sustaining the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation that enveloped the entire main peak.

The spiritual energy in the air had condensed to near-liquid density. Even an ordinary Disciple taking a single breath here would gain the equivalent of months of seclusion cultivation.

This was the foundation of the number one sect in Lizhou of the Southern Ridge—the Azure Immortal Sect.

And yet, despite such overwhelming grandeur, the atmosphere in the hall was suffocatingly oppressive.

At the center of the hall, a slender figure knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful woman clad in a moon-white flowing immortal dress. Though she should have appeared ethereal and untouchable, her garments were now stained with dust and blood, leaving her in a pitiful state.

Her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall, though several strands clung damply to her smooth forehead and pale neck, soaked in cold sweat. Her head was lowered, her delicate shoulders trembling without pause.

She was none other than the pride of the Chu Family—Chu Li.

Her beauty was extraordinary. Even in her current tearful and pale condition, her features remained stunning beyond compare. Willow-like brows, a delicate nose, cherry lips—every detail seemed crafted by heaven itself.

Yet her eyes, which should have been bright and clear, were now filled with fear and panic.

“Ancestor… Ancestor, please spare me!”

“Lu Yun… Lu Yun was not killed by me! On our way back after breaking off the engagement with the Ye Family, a man in black suddenly appeared. He was too strong! I couldn’t even perceive his cultivation realm. With just one move, he… he…”

Her voice broke as she choked on her words, repeatedly slamming her forehead against the cold jade floor.

“Please, Ancestor, investigate this thoroughly! This matter has nothing to do with Chu Li or the Chu Family!”

Above her, Lu Qingxuan sat silently, his expression calm and unreadable. His deep eyes were like an ancient well, utterly still, as he gazed down at the kneeling woman without speaking a word.

But to Chu Li, that silence was far more terrifying than any rage—it was the stillness before a storm.

Across Lizhou, everyone knew that Ancestor Qingxuan doted on his son above all else.

Especially after his dao partner passed away, his affection for Lu Yun had only deepened.

Even the three great demonic sects did not dare provoke Lu Yun, let alone a second-rate family like the Chu Family.

Cold sweat trickled down Chu Li’s temple, sliding along her flawless jawline before dripping onto the floor, forming a small dark patch.

Yet no one knew that the mighty Ancestor before her was equally shaken.

“I… transmigrated?”

At the moment he opened his eyes, a torrent of unfamiliar memories had surged into his mind.

He was no longer the exhausted office worker who stayed up all night reading novels in a cramped rental room. He had become Lu Qingxuan—the sole Ancestor of the Azure Immortal Sect in Lizhou of the Southern Ridge, on the Heavenly Mystic Continent.

A supreme expert who had lived for nearly a thousand years, standing at the 1st stage Divine Transformation Realm.

What made his scalp tingle even more was that this world felt absurdly familiar.

“Burning the Heavens Across Myriad Realms!”

Wasn’t this the very novel he had been obsessively reading before transmigrating?

And Lu Qingxuan’s role in the original novel…

A mid-stage major villain whose entire sect would eventually be destroyed.

As for his freshly deceased son, Lu Yun, he was the textbook example of a cannon-fodder villain.

Relying on his father’s power, he acted arrogantly and looked down on Ye Fan—the former genius who had fallen into ruin.

He personally went to break off the engagement and humiliate him, only to be killed on the way back by Liu Mengyao’s guardian, becoming the very first stepping stone for the protagonist’s rise.

And the woman kneeling below, trembling pitifully…

Chu Li, one of the original novel’s female leads.

After seeing her fiancé Ye Fan fall from genius to useless, she decisively broke off the engagement. Later, she became captivated by Ye Fan’s overwhelming rise and fell hopelessly in love with him once again.

In the end, she even sacrificed her life to help him subdue a powerful strange flame, leaving countless readers in tears.

“Damn, what kind of hellish start is this?”

Lu Qingxuan inwardly ranted, his thoughts racing. “I just transmigrated, got handed the identity of an Ancestor at the Divine Transformation Realm, and my son is already dead? And he died because of breaking off the engagement with the protagonist’s woman?”

This plot was exactly the same as in the original novel.

According to the novel, he would soon fly into a rage to avenge his son. However, he would be warned off by the Liu Family from the Central Region, ultimately forced to swallow his grief.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan would begin his meteoric rise—endless fortuitous opportunities, beauties flocking to him—until he returned to the Azure Immortal Sect to settle the score, trampling Lu Qingxuan beneath his feet.

“No, this script needs to change,” Lu Qingxuan decided instantly.

At that moment, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the child of destiny ‘Ye Fan’ has officially embarked on his path against the heavens. Core character ‘Chu Li’ is eligible for plunder. Conditions for system activation met.]

[Villain Plunder System activated!]

[This system is designed to assist the host in intercepting all fortuitous opportunities of the child of destiny, seize his luck, and crush him completely beneath your feet, ultimately replacing him as the chosen of fate!]

Lu Qingxuan’s breathing paused slightly.

A system?

My cheat has finally arrived?

[Ding! Villain Plunder System successfully bound!]

[Generating status panel…]

A faint blue screen appeared before him.

[Host: Lu Qingxuan]

[Realm: 1st stage Divine Transformation Realm]

[Talent: Top-grade]

[Bloodline Physique: Mortal Body]

[Cultivation Techniques: Azure Origin Sword Art (Heaven-grade Low-grade, incomplete), Azure Lotus Sword Technique, Soul Piercing Strike…]

[Divine Abilities: Void Shift]

Inside the hall, every passing moment felt like being roasted over fire for Chu Li—an endless torment.

The gaze from above was like two invisible heavenly swords hanging over her head, ready to fall at any moment and obliterate her along with the entire Chu Family.

Just as the pressure nearly crushed her spirit completely—

“Hmph.”

The cold snort exploded like thunder beside her ear.

Though not loud, it carried the overwhelming might of a Divine Transformation Realm Ancestor, as if his words themselves could shape reality. The very air in the hall froze.

Chu Li’s body trembled violently, nearly collapsing.

She used every ounce of strength to remain kneeling, her forehead pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to lift it even slightly.

“Chu Li,” Lu Qingxuan said slowly, “do you know your crime?”

Her back was already soaked through with sweat. The moon-white dress clung tightly to her body, outlining her fragile yet graceful form.

Before the absolute pressure of a Divine Transformation Realm Ancestor, any explanation seemed utterly powerless.

The only thing she could do… was gamble.

After several breaths, Chu Li spoke in a trembling voice.

“Chu Li… knows her crime.”

“Lu Yun died because of me. No matter who that man in black was, the root of it lies with me. I failed to protect him—this is my first crime. Knowing the danger, yet not persuading him otherwise, leading him into peril—this is my second crime. Afterward, I lacked the strength to avenge him and could only continue living in disgrace—this is my third crime…”

“Chu Li… deserves death ten thousand times over.”

After speaking, she fell silent, surrendering her fate entirely to the man above.

On the throne, Lu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He hadn’t expected that this female lead, who seemed somewhat love-struck in the original novel, would possess such quick wit.

“Since you know your crime,” he said indifferently, “how do you think I should deal with you?”

Chu Li’s heart leapt into her throat.

Her tear-streaked, breathtaking face was filled with pleading humility.

“Chu Li is but a weak woman. My life is insignificant—my death would mean nothing! But this matter was caused by me alone. I beg the Ancestor to show mercy and not implicate the Chu Family!”

“I am willing to serve the Ancestor as a beast of burden, to keep vigil for Lu Yun for the rest of my life. I only ask that the lives of the hundreds within the Chu Family be spared!”

“As long as the Ancestor’s anger can be appeased, Chu Li… is willing to pay any price!”

“Compensation?”

At last, Lu Qingxuan rose from the throne.

His green dao robe fluttered without wind as he descended the steps slowly, one step at a time, until he stood before her.

Looking down at the stunning woman prostrating herself at his feet, his gaze was cold and heavy.

“You, and the Chu Family behind you—what do you have that can compensate for my loss of a son?”

Chu Li felt her entire body turn cold.

Everything she could offer, everything the Chu Family possessed—before this supreme figure standing at the peak of the Southern Ridge—was no more than dust.

Just as despair completely engulfed her—

A faint, meaningful smile curved at the corner of Lu Qingxuan’s lips.

“However, your proposal has sparked a bit of interest in me.”

“I, Lu Qingxuan, am not an unreasonable man. Since you caused the death of my son—then you shall bear me another!!!”
