[The female cultivator seemed to sense Ye Yu's confusion.]
[She softly said, Over two hundred years ago, in the mountain village, with the spiritual fruit.]
[Upon hearing these simple words, childhood memories flooded back into his mind.]
[This woman was one of the two fairies he had encountered when he was eleven years old.]
[Back then, they even left behind a bag of spiritual fruits.]
[However, after more than two hundred years, why would this woman find him now?]
[What exactly was the reason?]
[Ye Yu voiced his doubts.]
[The female cultivator immediately smiled.]
[She told Ye Yu that over these two hundred years, she had been observing his every move from the shadows at intervals.]
[It was just that Ye Yu had been unaware.]
[Now she had stepped forward because her observation period had ended, and she was certain that Ye Yu was the prophesied emerging demon.]
[Hearing this, Ye Yu remained silent for a long time.]
[Although this woman before him was formidable, she was only at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.]
[Even with his current injuries, killing her wouldn't be difficult.]
[So what did this woman really want?]
[As Ye Yu pondered, the woman continued speaking:]
[I've been talking for so long, but I haven't even introduced myself yet.]
[My name is Chen Wangbei, with the 'bei' meaning 'north' as in 'east, west, south, and north'.]
["A millennium later, on the day of extreme yin, a celestial phenomenon will occur, a prodigy will descend, the Lord of the Demonic Path."]
["The demon has a nemesis, the nemesis is in the north, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, success and failure are a thought apart."]
[These two sentences are actually a prophecy you should have heard.]
[Ye Yu's expression finally changed.]
[Chen Wangbei!]
["In the north" didn't refer to the direction north, but to the name "Bei"?]
[Could it be that this woman is the destined nemesis?]
[Thinking this, Ye Yu couldn't help but smile.]
[Chen Wangbei remained silent.]
[She simply waited quietly in place.]
[And the next moment, Ye Yu instantly appeared in front of Chen Wangbei.]
[The pressure of the Ascension Realm suddenly erupted.]
[He asked coldly, If you've come out now to seek death, I can fulfill your wish right now!]
[Chen Wangbei threw away the sword in her hand.]
[She told Ye Yu that she came today to make a deal with him.]
[If this deal went through, it would be an immense wealth and fortune for both of them!]
[Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.]
[Then, Chen Wangbei began to recount her own background.]
[Her surname was Chen, and she was the eighth-generation descendant of the founding sect master of the Celestial Secrets Sect.]
[When the first generation sect master of the Celestial Secrets Sect ascended, not only did he predict the emergence of the demon, but he also predicted that this could very well be a stroke of fate for the Chen family.]
[From a destiny perspective, Chen Wangbei is the nemesis destined to counter the devil.]
[Or perhaps, she is the auspicious star!]
[As long as Chen Wangbei cooperates with the demon, ascending together to the Heavenly Realm won't be difficult.]
[In fact, if they cooperate well, they are destined to become Golden Immortals in the future.]
[However, the precondition is that the demon must eliminate the resentment in his heart.]
[Otherwise, nurturing inner demons during ascension will lead to death.]
[The deductions made by the first-generation sect master of the Celestial Secrets Sect have been passed down through generations.]
[So, by the time of Chen Wangbei's generation, she knew from a young age what she wanted.]
[She was also deeply convinced of it.]
[After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, she began wandering this world, searching for those born on the day of extreme yin who might become demons.]
[In fact, when Ye Yu was in his teens, Chen Wangbei didn't have high hopes for him.]
[Back then, the spiritual fruits were just a gesture of goodwill.]
[The one she truly saw potential in was Shi Aotian.]
[Before Ye Yu turned 13, Shi Aotian had already shown astonishing talent.]
[Therefore, he seemed more like the destined emerging demon than Ye Yu.]
[However, as Ye Yu continued to grow stronger, Chen Wangbei finally became certain that Ye Yu was the one she was looking for.]
[Now that she had found him, there was no need for secrecy.]
[Chen Wangbei stated that as long as Ye Yu could guard her for a thousand years, she would teach him the method to eliminate the resentment in his heart.]
[With both cultivating together, they could ascend to the Heavenly Realm together in the future, a great tale indeed.]
[As she spoke to this point, Chen Wangbei's eyes sparkled, seemingly full of anticipation for the future.]
[However, Ye Yu directly rejected her proposal:]
[You want me to guard you for a thousand years? You're not qualified for that.]
[What nonsense about inner resentment? I don't believe in such things.]
[Inner resentment only arises from doing things you don't want to do.]
[What Ye Yu currently wanted most was to drink with his brother Shi Aotian.]
[To be with Lan Lianyan.]
[Not to stay by Chen Wangbei's side and believe in such vague legends.]
[What destiny? What predictions?]
[It's all bullshit!]
[At this moment, Chen Wangbei frowned deeply, her expression extremely displeased.]
[In fact, before the first generation sect master of the Celestial Secrets Sect ascended, he first deduced the fate of the Chen family.]
[Among the next ten generations, the Chen family will all be of mediocre talent.]
[Not to mention ascending to the Heavenly Realm, they won't even reach the Ascension Realm.]
[After ten generations, their decline will accelerate even further.]
[If they want to defy fate and restore the glory of the Chen family, only the eighth generation of the Chen family still holds a glimmer of hope.]
[Among the descendants of the eighth generation, the highest can only reach the Tribulation Crossing realm.]
[But due to their natural talent, they cannot break through to the Ascension Realm.]
[The only way is to rely on the luck of others.]
[If borrowed, not only can they ascend to the Heavenly Realm in the future, they can even restore the glory of the Chen family for another thousand years.]
[If unable to borrow, the Chen family will completely decline.]
[It is precisely because of this fate that the first generation sect master of the Celestial Secrets Sect conducted a second round of deductions.]
[He spoke of the prophecy concerning the demon.]
[Actually, the first statement is true.]
[But the second prophecy is highly self-serving.]
[The first generation sect master of the Celestial Secrets Sect aimed to set up a grand scheme to allow the Chen family to successfully borrow luck from the demon!]
[That's all there is to it.]
[Originally, Chen Wangbei thought it would go smoothly.]
[But unexpectedly, she faced rejection.]
[Since soft tactics don't work, she decided to use a hard approach.]
[Seeing Ye Yu about to leave, Chen Wangbei coldly shouted, Are you sure about this?]
[Don't forget, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, success and failure are a thought apart.]
[Ye Yu turned around slowly.]
[Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.]
[Was she trying to threaten him?]
[What a colossal joke!]
[Throughout this dream journey, he has encountered far too many threats.]
[Whenever such people appear, Ye Yu would swiftly send them to their deaths!]
