2024-07-12 01:15:41Xiao Tian felt warmth as the older man continued channeling his internal energy into him.
The older man frowned, astonished by Xiao Tian's healing ability. Even if he hadn't treated him, Xiao Tian would have healed alone. If he had continued drifting in the river, his body could have been torn apart by the fierce water. After some time, Xiao Tian woke up and clasped his hands. "Senior, thank you for saving me." Xiao Tian didn't call the old man grandpa because he felt that was only appropriate for his relatives, so he just called him senior. Hearing Xiao Tian's thanks, the older man didn't immediately respond. He was still amazed by the child's healing ability. Moreover, he was perplexed; he couldn't discern the type of bones and specific areas in Xiao Tian's body. The older man was sure this child was not ordinary. An ordinary child would have indeed died in that great river. Not to mention the ferocious beasts; even the fierce river current and hitting the rocks should have killed him. Instead of answering Xiao Tian's question, the old man asked, "Child, how did you end up in this river? And where is your home? Let me take you back." Xiao Tian shook his head until the old man asked again, "Do you not remember what happened?" Xiao Tian shook his head again. "No, I remember. But I no longer have a home to return to. My village was attacked by bandits who not only looted but also slaughtered all the villagers and burned our houses. Both my parents were killed in that incident. I managed to escape by jumping into this river. Now, I have nowhere to go." Xiao Tian's face, still that of a child, looked very sad. His sadness was genuine. Although he didn't tell the whole truth, fearing the older man might be a subordinate of the Wang kingdom, the mix of anger and sorrow on his face was not fabricated. The older man understood Xiao Tian's feelings. Judging by his expression, the child wasn't lying. Besides, he was just a child, unlikely to be good at making up stories. The older man decided to take him. "If you have no home, come with me. I am the head of a Sect not far from here." "If the senior allows it, I won't refuse." Xiao Tian saw this as an opportunity. If he lived in a Sect, he could train to become strong. "Hahaha, good. However, in the future, don't call me senior; call me Grandpa Fa Wa. From now on, I'll take you as my grandson. Since you no longer have a family, there's no harm in me becoming your family. Now, tell me, what's your name?" Initially, Xiao Tian didn't want to call him Grandpa. But Fa Wa's words were true; he no longer had relatives. As for Wang Chong, even though he was a relative, he was someone Xiao Tian wanted to eradicate from the world. "Thank you, Grandpa. My name is Tian." Xiao Tian didn't want to mention his clan name, fearing the Wang kingdom would discover his identity. "Hahaha, good, good. How old are you, Tian?" Fa Wa asked, smiling with his wrinkled lips. "I am six years old." Xiao Tian answered honestly. Fa Wa didn't expect the child in front of him to be only six years old because Xiao Tian's physical appearance was almost that of a ten-year-old. "This little girl is my granddaughter; her name is Ziyan Rouxi. You can call her sister when you are younger. Now, please wait a moment; Grandpa will catch some fish for us. Tian must be hungry." While Fa Wa was catching fish in the river, Xiao Tian stared blankly at the blue sky, his fists tightly clenched around painful memories. Suddenly, tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes, falling to the ground and forming a small puddle. However, these were not ordinary clear tears but tears of blood, deep red, reflecting the depth of his pain. Xiao Tian recalled the moment his parents were killed by enemies from the Wang Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, who had destroyed his family. In his heart, he vowed to avenge his parents. “Mother, father. Tian'er swears to avenge you! Tian'er will not let the Wang Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, who caused your deaths, go unpunished. I will make them pay a hundredfold, and if I cannot, I swear not to live as a human!” Ziyan Rouxi saw Xiao Tian shedding tears of blood. "Tian, you must calm your emotions. If you want to avenge your parents, there's only one way—you must grow stronger than anyone else!" Xiao Tian did not respond; he merely nodded his head. **** Fa Wa arrived with a large fish he had just caught from the river; then, he cooked it over a fire. Once ready, Fa Wa invited Xiao Tian and Ziyan Rouxi to return home. When they arrived at the sect’s gate, Xiao Tian noticed the large inscription above it. He paused for a moment, reading it carefully. "Supreme Sword Sect," Xiao Tian murmured, trying to recall if he had ever heard of a sect named Supreme Sword. However, he could not remember any Supreme Sword Sect in the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Tian was surprised to realize he was in the territory of the She Dynasty. "Did the river’s current carry me to the She Dynasty?" he wondered, confused and shocked. Xiao Tian inhaled the cold air that enveloped his body. Recalling the knowledge he had gained from reading books, Xiao Tian understood the vast distance between the Ming Dynasty and the She Dynasty. Xiao Tian was an avid reader, and his mother always encouraged him to read books on various subjects. Not just martial arts but general knowledge as well. Although he was still young, Xiao Tian had a broad understanding, especially since he had a unique memory that allowed him to remember everything he saw without forgetting.

Xiao Tian was also ready to leave. His steps had already begun, but before he could go far, his movement was halted. Someone appeared right in front of him. He was stopped by his father. Xiao Jian stood calmly, his posture upright but without any oppressive aura. There was no eruption of power, no intimidation. But everyone present knew that the gentle pressure filling the air was the presence of someone who could not be ignored. In Xiao Jian’s eyes, there was no force, no demand—only hope. The hope of a father for his son. Xiao Jian asked him to stay a few more days in the Clan. Xiao Tian did not refuse. There was no protest. He nodded lightly. After all, he also wanted to enjoy the sights of the Xiao Clan, which were rarely seen by outsiders. Layered mountains, sky-reaching pillars made of luminous stone, and a sky that seemed to shine with a different hue. However, there was one thing he wanted to say. A request he had held in his heart, but could no longer keep hidden. “Tian’

“Hahaha, don’t look so dumb!” Leihuo Dashi’s voice echoed with satisfaction—far too much satisfaction. “This god has already proven his words, so don’t act surprised. Now, you’d better put on your clothes before your naked body becomes a public sight!” His voice carried a teasing tone, turning the heavy atmosphere into something slightly irritating. It was like lightning grinning or a storm holding back its thunder just to deliver a smug remark. “Damn it…” Xiao Tian muttered under his breath, though he wasn’t angry. He understood that while Leihuo Dashi’s methods were over-the-top, the results were worth it. Without this massive power boost, he might not survive the trials to come—trials far more dangerous than anything he had faced before. With a wave of his hand, clothing appeared on Xiao Tian’s body once more. His robe reformed seamlessly, without a single wrinkle or tear—perfect, as if woven back together by invisible hands. The multicolored energy that had wrapped around his b

Leihuo Dashi laughed uproariously inside Xiao Tian’s dantian realm. The laughter didn’t just echo—it layered upon itself, like thunderous waves shaking the depths of Xiao Tian’s internal space. Each burst struck the edges of his consciousness, causing his breath to grow heavy despite his still body. He felt deeply satisfied by it all. “Hahaha, this is now a bit comparable to what Xiao Jian did. But I can only give you ten percent of this divine energy— the rest I must store from the purified lake water. Xiao Tian can’t yet contain this much divine power.” That voice reverberated powerfully in his dantian world, making the energy flow inside his body quake violently. His previously stable dantian surged like it had swallowed a massive tsunami. The energy streams that had run like gentle rivers now became storm waves battering his insides. His body felt like a mountain still rumbling after an eruption. Fine cracks formed around the walls of his dantian—not from weakness, but from the

The air trembled, the temperature dropped drastically, and an unnamed fear blanketed every disciple present. No one dared to utter a prayer or activate a protective chant. They knew—no technique could shield them from the vortex. Not when its source was an existence beyond reason. "What is happening to the Eternal Lightning Lake?" That question echoed inside everyone’s mind. But no one dared to voice it aloud. Because they understood—whatever the answer was, it defied all logic. Some tried to activate personal defense formations. But the moment those formations came into contact with the pressure radiating from the vortex, they shattered like glass smashed onto stone. No one dared approach. They could only watch from afar, holding their breath, witnessing the slow destruction of the sacred place that had long symbolized the strength of their bloodline. Inside the main palace, Xiao Jian, who sat among the clan’s esteemed guests, closed his eyes. He saw everything. With his divine s

Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes sharply. Not out of fear, but out of caution toward such a monumental revelation arriving just as his power had broken into a new level. He immediately read the preface to the War God Body technique. The words were simple, but their meaning struck deeply at the heart of anyone who read them: “The War God Body is the true body of the universe. Whoever reaches level 25 will possess the same power as a cultivator of the Divine Sovereign Realm!” Xiao Tian’s heart beat faster—not with joy, but with the kind of shock that rattled the layers of his consciousness. A jolt of disbelief filled his mind. His body may have just completed its transformation, but his soul and thoughts were once again shaken by a truth far greater than he had previously imagined. Unexpectedly, the realm beyond the Supreme Divine Emperor was the Divine Sovereign Realm. A title he had only ever heard in faint whispers of ancient history. A name never openly spoken, as if deliberately hidd

As his body began to take shape, his flesh and bones no longer glowed gold. Instead, they radiated with a spectrum of colors—like a fusion of all the lightning that had ever ruled the skies. Those colors didn’t just coat the surface of his body; they fused into it. They weren’t mere appearances but essence. Every layer of muscle, tendon, and even his bone marrow shimmered with constantly shifting lightning. The light from his body was not just bright—it radiated the pressure of laws that blanketed his entire inner world. Waves of pressure from that light kept expanding, echoing through every corner of Xiao Tian’s inner realm like an unstoppable but focused storm. The streaks of color that once pulsed slowly now surged rapidly, colliding and intertwining, forming an intricate network of energy. Each spark looked like a bolt of life, tearing through the limits of mortal flesh and stepping into the realm of the absolute. Within his bone marrow, countless multicolored dragons swam freel
