Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

"Grandmaster, please forgive Qingxian's behavior just now. Qingxian was too unruly, and I hope you can forgive her." Recovering from her shock, Ye Qingxian seemed to recall how she had dared to impersonate Grandmaster's master. Her face instantly turned pale, and she quickly knelt before Jiang Han, bowing her head and looking pitiful, repeatedly apologizing. She was filled with anxiety, fearing that Grandmaster would blame her for her rudeness.

"What...what's going on!"

"Isn't she an immortal? And the master of Hongjun Patriarch! How come she's kneeling before Hongjun Patriarch now?"

"What exactly happened? I'm completely baffled!"

"Could it be that what that woman said earlier was all a lie? Is she not Hongjun's master at all, but rather a junior?"

……

Although the cultivators couldn't hear Jiang Han and Ye Qingxian's subsequent telepathic communication, they could still observe with their own eyes. Now, seeing Ye Qingxian suddenly kneel before Jiang Han, looking terrified and remorseful, the cultivators felt their heads spin; they were completely stunned and couldn't process what was happening. Previously, they had assumed Ye Qingxian was an immortal-level being, the master of Hongjun Ancestor, but now it seemed things were entirely different. This sudden reversal left their minds reeling.

Even the five overlords—the Gluttonous King, the Ancient Golden Phoenix Clan Chief, the Old Celestial, the War Clan Chief, and the Immortal Palace Master—were utterly dumbfounded. They looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment. In all their years, they had never witnessed such a bizarre scene. How could that snow-clad woman, whose strength was unfathomable, suddenly be so respectful to Ancestor Hongjun, even referring to herself as a junior? What secret was hidden behind this?
"Haozi, what's going on? Tell me!" Fatty Cao Yusheng tugged at the little boy's sleeve, his ears drooping, his eyes wide with confusion as he looked at the little boy, hoping to get an answer from him. He was just too curious; the plot twist was too fast.

The little boy shook his head, looking surprised and confused. "I don't know either. I'll have to ask Master later." He looked at his master above the Immortal Tomb and the woman who had suddenly become extremely respectful, his heart filled with doubt.

"Get up. You've only been a bit mischievous; I naturally won't hold it against you." On the ground above the Immortal Tomb, Jiang Han looked at Ye Qingxian, who was kneeling before him, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. This girl's personality was somewhat similar to her father's when he was young, both carrying a touch of cunning and mischief. He waved his hand, creating a gentle ripple that softly lifted the kneeling Ye Qingxian up.

"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Ye Qingxian looked at Jiang Han gratefully, a huge weight finally lifted from her heart. She straightened up, dusted herself off, and her face regained some of its liveliness, but her eyes were filled with awe as she looked at Jiang Han.

"Oh, right, Grandmaster, I came here from the future to seek help!" Ye Qingxian suddenly remembered her purpose in crossing the river of time to get here, and her expression turned serious as she hurriedly spoke. Her eyes held a hint of anxiety and anticipation, as if the matter was extremely urgent.

"You've come too early. The person you're looking for hasn't matured yet; I'm still nurturing him." With a calm voice, Jiang Han beckoned. The little boy and Cao Yusheng, who were in the distance, saw a blur before their eyes and were uncontrollably lifted into the air, instantly appearing beside him.

"It's him, it's him!" Ye Qingxian's gaze suddenly fixed on the little boy, her beautiful eyes flashing with fervent light, and her face revealing excitement. She carefully examined the little boy, becoming more and more satisfied with each look, nodding repeatedly. Yes, it was him! Her father had once said that in this era, there was a child born with supreme bones, possessing limitless potential, who might be able to help them resolve that enormous crisis. She never expected that this child was actually the one her Grand Tutor was grooming!
The little boy felt a bit uncomfortable under Ye Qingxian's gaze and instinctively hid behind Jiang Han, curiously observing this woman who had suddenly become so enthusiastic towards him. He didn't understand why this woman was looking at him like that, and what she meant by saying she was looking for him.

Cao Yusheng's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Qingxian, then at the little one, his mind filled with confusion. What was going on? Wasn't this woman from the future? What did she want with Haozi? Could Haozi be some important figure reincarnated?

The cultivators and the five overlords in the distance were utterly bewildered by this scene. They stared at the little boy and Cao Yusheng who had suddenly appeared above the Immortal Tomb, then at Ye Qingxian's excited expression, completely baffled. Who exactly was that child? Why was this mysterious woman from the future so devoted to him?

Jiang Han looked at Ye Qingxian and Little Dot, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. He knew that the crisis Ye Qingxian spoke of was probably related to the dark turmoil that would sweep across all the realms in the future. And Little Dot, as the born supreme being of this era, was destined to become one of the important forces in the fight against the dark turmoil. Ye Qingxian's journey across the river of time to find Little Dot was perhaps an arrangement of fate.

"Grandmaster, did you already know I would come? And did you already know that the person I was looking for was him?" Ye Qingxian looked at Jiang Han, her eyes filled with curiosity. She felt that the Grandmaster was too mysterious, as if everything was under his control.

Jiang Han smiled faintly, not answering directly, but saying, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. However, since you're here, stay for a while. Observe this era and witness its growth." He pointed to the little one, his meaning clear: he wanted Ye Qingxian to observe the little one's growth here.

Ye Qingxian nodded and obediently replied, "Yes, Grandmaster!" She knew that Grandmaster had his reasons for making such an arrangement, and she couldn't be happier to stay by Grandmaster's side and observe the hope for the future up close.

Little Dot peeked out from behind Jiang Han, looked at Ye Qingxian, and asked curiously, "Master, who is she? Why did she say she needed to see me?" Jiang Han patted Little Dot's head and said with a smile, "She's from the future. She's your Uncle Ye's daughter. According to seniority, you should call her 'elder sister.' She's looking for you because there's a big matter in the future that requires your help."

"Senior Uncle Ye? A major event in the future?" The little boy nodded, seemingly understanding, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. A major event in the future? What could it be? Would he need to help? He looked at Ye Qingxian, thinking it must be very interesting.

Cao Yusheng also came over, excitedly saying, "Haozi, I didn't know you had such an amazing older sister! Big things happening in the future? Is it like leveling up in a game? Can I join you?" He thought this was incredibly exciting—people from the future, and big things happening in the future; just thinking about it made him excited.

Ye Qingxian was amused by Cao Yusheng's words. She looked at the chubby little guy and a kind smile appeared in her eyes: "You little guy are quite interesting. Don't worry, you'll get your share."

Jiang Han looked at the scene before him, a smile of satisfaction on his face. He knew that a new chapter was about to unfold before their eyes. The little ones' growth, the future crisis brought by Ye Qingxian, and the secrets hidden within this immortal tomb would all intertwine, weaving a magnificent and legendary tale. And he, as a witness and guide, would accompany these children, step by step, unveiling the mysteries of the future and facing the challenges to come.

The cultivators and the five overlords in the distance watched the harmonious scene above the Immortal Tomb, their shock and confusion lingering. They knew that what had happened today would become the most unforgettable memory of their lives. The true identity of Hongjun Ancestor, the mysterious woman Ye Qingxian from the future, the little one on whom so much hope was placed… all of this was shrouded in mystery and legend, filling them with boundless imagination and anticipation for the future. Perhaps, in the near future, the Three Thousand Dao Continents would undergo earth-shattering changes because of these people.

"Master, who exactly is she?" The little boy gripped Jiang Han's large hand tightly, his knuckles turning white with nervousness. He looked up, his clear eyes filled with curiosity and wariness as he nervously stared at Ye Qingxian not far away. Ye Qingxian's unfathomable demeanor and her impersonation of his master had made the little boy feel that this woman was rather strange.

"She was one of my former disciples, the daughter of your senior brother Ye Fan. In terms of seniority, she should call you Junior Uncle." Jiang Han smiled and reached out to gently pinch the little one's chubby cheek, his tone filled with affection. He knew the little one still had some reservations, so he deliberately explained in a relaxed tone, hoping to put him at ease.

"Then she said she was your master? She's a big liar!" After hearing Jiang Han's explanation, the little boy suddenly realized. He pouted, his little face full of dissatisfaction, and then turned around and made a face at Ye Qingxian to express his dissatisfaction.

Looking at the little boy before her, who barely reached her waist and had an innocent yet adorable face, Ye Qingxian's lips twitched slightly, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She truly hadn't expected that the key figure she had been searching for, the one concerning her future safety, was actually this little one, and according to seniority, he was her martial uncle. However, it was clear that the person she was looking for, just as her grandmaster had said, hadn't yet grown up; he was currently just a fledgling who needed protection, waiting to spread his wings and fly.

"Grandmaster, our era truly needed his help, but in his current state, his strength is too weak to participate in that calamity." Ye Qingxian looked at Jiang Han, her face showing anxiety. She pointed to the little one beside her, who was still making faces at her, her voice filled with worry. The dark turmoil of the future was too terrifying; even her father, Emperor Ye, found it troublesome. How could this little one possibly handle it now?

"Grandmaster, your cultivation is boundless and unfathomable. Since he's not yet grown up and can't be of any use for the time being, why don't you come with me? With you here, we're sure to overcome this difficulty!" Ye Qingxian seemed to have thought of something, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she stared intently at Jiang Han, her gaze filled with anticipation and hope. In her view, the Grandmaster's strength was unimaginable; as long as the Grandmaster was willing to help, there was no problem that couldn't be solved.

"Ahem..." Upon hearing Ye Qingxian's words, Jiang Han immediately coughed, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He knew very well that with his current strength, even if he had fully developed his Devil Fruit powers, he would only be at the level of a Great Emperor or a True Immortal in the early stages. Such cultivation might be considered top-tier in the Three Thousand Dao Continents, but in the future dark turmoil that would sweep across all the heavens and myriad realms, it would be utterly inadequate, and he was far from qualified to intervene. He couldn't very well tell Ye Qingxian that he, as her "Grand Tutor," wasn't actually that powerful, could he?
"Some things are predestined. This is also a test for you. If the time truly comes when you need me, I will take action." Jiang Han composed himself, his tone returning to calm, carrying an undeniable authority. He knew that some growth requires hardship; one cannot rely solely on external forces, otherwise, one will never truly become strong.

"Grandmaster, what do you mean?" Ye Qingxian looked at Jiang Han with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. She didn't understand why, when Grandmaster clearly had the ability to help, he was unwilling to intervene. Was the future disaster truly destined to be unavoidable?

"You will stay by my side. After I leave, you will remain here and watch over him as he grows up," Jiang Han said calmly, pointing to the little one. He believed that with Ye Qingxian by his side, the little one's growth would be smoother, and Ye Qingxian would also be able to grow and mature in the process.

Ye Qingxian glanced at the little one who was still winking at her, sighed helplessly, and then nodded, agreeing to Jiang Han's arrangement. Although she was still somewhat unwilling, she knew that her Grand Tutor's decision would not be easily changed, and she could only do as her Grand Tutor instructed.

"Do you know the origin of this grave?" Jiang Han stopped worrying about the future and turned his gaze back to the immortal grave before him, asking. This immortal grave was so mysterious, and it was related to the primordial energy and the black coffin. He was eager to know its secrets.

Ye Qingxian shook her head, a solemn expression on her face: "All I know is that there's a coffin inside, shrouded in a mysterious mist. That mist contains powerful, ancient energy, and it's extremely strange. I've tried hundreds of times, using every method imaginable, but I haven't been able to open it. As for who lies inside, I have no idea." (End of Chapter)
