Chapter 482: Chapter 422: Rising! Breaking the Norm! Becoming a Grandmaster Again

Dawn.

Daybreak pierced the darkness, and the white mist began to fade.

"Grandma, make sure you eat well."

Ye Jianrou waved goodbye, looking back again and again. Finally, she gritted her teeth, forced herself not to turn around, and hurried away.

Gradually, in Grandma Ye’s eyes, her small figure grew blurrier and blurrier until she disappeared from view completely.

THUD!

The next moment, Grandma Ye collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

After a good while, Grandma Ye recovered enough strength to support herself and return to her bed, her breath frail.

If her body hadn’t been on the verge of collapse, she would never have let Ye Jianrou go to work before her life force was fully restored.

’I can’t die. I can’t die. I have to see my dear granddaughter grow up. I have to find a good husband for her.’

Grandma Ye was on her last breath, lying sick in bed.

The cold wind whistled, and the flame of her life flickered.

Pain washed over her like a tidal wave, but she clung on desperately, refusing to depart this world.

...

It was because of the Celestial Demon Palace, and also because of the Vast Sea.

Basically, almost anyone had a chance to access the Nine-Leaf Swordgrass’s Dream World.

But entering its core, let alone receiving and completing the inheritance—that was another matter entirely.

’I can do this.’

At that moment, Ye Jianrou stood before the surging Vast Ocean, her body trembling.

But when she remembered her grandmother, her expression instantly filled with resolve.

Then, piloting a small wooden boat, she decisively charged into the Dream World!

Just then, an Ancient Demon guarding this place felt a stir in his heart. His gaze shifted, following her distant figure.

"Sword Lion, what is it?" the other Ancient Demon asked.

"Heh, Blade Tiger, I’ve found a very interesting little one. She reminds me of Bai Tian," Sword Lion said with a smile.

"How is that possible!?" The Ancient Demon known as Blade Tiger immediately narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the distant Ye Jianrou.

Bai Tian was the true name of the White Tiger Demon Lord.

’A young demon on par with Bai Tian? Doesn’t that mean she has the potential to become a great sovereign, a leader of the Demon Race?!’

In that instant, Blade Tiger sensed how extraordinary Ye Jianrou was.

The world itself seemed to faintly cheer and rejoice at her arrival.

...

Inside the Dream World, Ye Jianrou passed one trial after another in a daze.

Yes, completely in a daze.

She hadn’t done anything special, only subconsciously followed her grandmother’s instructions to simply do her best.

And as a result, she advanced at a breakneck pace.

In just half a day, she reached the core world of the Nine-Leaf Swordgrass inheritance dream.

Then, she continued to advance, still in a daze.

In just three days and three nights, she surpassed the Golden-Winged Roc, the Bifang Scion, the Half-Blood Pumo Tree, the Chi Dragon Descendant, and many others.

At that moment, a heavenly light broke through the sun.

The many prodigies of the Demon Race all looked up, their gazes fixed on her.

They watched in awe as she claimed the summit and inherited the station of a Demon Lord.

BOOM!

The Vast Ocean erupted in a chaotic frenzy.

Countless demon cultivators were stunned, and a storm of discussion erupted.

’I can’t believe I lost to a mere child?!’ A vicious light flashed in the Golden-Winged Roc’s eyes, and it seethed with indignation.

’This can’t be real. She hasn’t even set foot on the path of cultivation...’ The Bifang Scion fell silent, its large cyan feathers dimming their divine radiance.

’She too is a spirit born of plants. With the White Tiger Demon Lord as a precedent, her future is surely to become a Demon Empress. If I were to gain her favor...’ The Half-Blood Pumo Tree was tempted, considering breaking its principle of single-minded devotion to the Dao for Ye Jianrou.

In that moment, the many Demon Race prodigies were left in the dust, watching as Ye Jianrou claimed the peak.

But faster than any of them were the two Ancient Demons, Sword Lion and Blade Tiger.

However, Ye Jianrou had no desire to go to the Celestial Demon Palace. She just wanted to find her grandmother and share this happy news.

HUM. A black mist suddenly swirled into existence.

With the help of Sword Lion and Blade Tiger, Ye Jianrou crossed the void in an instant, returning to the small, shabby thatched hut.

"Oh no, Grandma!?" Suddenly, the color drained from Ye Jianrou’s face.

She could feel how weak her grandmother’s life flame had become.

That faint flicker of life looked as if it could be extinguished at any moment!

At that moment, Ye Jianrou’s heart was gripped with panic.

Subconsciously, a flicker of Cyan Aura appeared in her eyes.

She unleashed the [Spring Comes to Withered Wood] Skill, forcefully pulling her grandmother back from the gates of death!

HISS...

Seeing this, both Sword Lion and Blade Tiger drew in a sharp breath.

’She hasn’t even begun her cultivation, yet she can already use a top-tier Wood Dao Magic like [Spring Comes to Withered Wood].’

By this metric, Ye Jianrou’s innate talent was truly a cut above even Bai Tian’s.

...

After that, Ye Jianrou found that her life had taken a dramatic turn for the better.

People who used to look down on them, who treated them as if they were nothing, were now extremely friendly—even sycophantic.

But more importantly, her grandmother smiled more and more.

Especially after Sword Lion and Blade Tiger became her first mentors, her grandmother’s whole body seemed to grow younger.

All of this left Ye Jianrou in awe.

But with her grandmother’s guidance, she gradually came to accept everything.

She resolved to become incredibly strong to protect it all.

’My mission is to fight Fang Yang. I cannot let him set foot in this land.’

Her bright eyes gleamed, and her magnificent palace gown fluttered in the breeze.

From the stories told by her grandmother, her masters, and other close companions, she had learned a great deal.

And toward Fang Yang, a man she had never met, she felt a great curiosity alongside her vigilance.

After all, she had no desire to be effortlessly slain by Fang Yang, as the White Tiger Demon Lord had been.

.........

The Nine-Leaf Swordgrass Demon Lord had been born!
