2025-06-30 10:22:29Upon witnessing the tragic death of his son, Han Yu could only close his eyes.
"Xianger, let’s go back..."
Luo Xiang nodded, then turned to look at Han Yu, who still had his eyes shut.
"The old and new grudges shall begin... If one day I surpass you, I’ll return and take your life with my own hands..."
Han Yu nodded. “There’s no need to wait for the future... Today, you are the victor!”
Swuuush! Slaaash!
Drawing a sword from his spatial ring, Han Yu took his own life right before the eyes of Luo Xiang, Luo Jin, and Luo Lan. For him, there was no reason to live after witnessing the death of his beloved child.
Narrowing his eyes, Luo Jin looked at the remaining members of the Han Clan, now frozen in confusion and fear after seeing their patriarch commit suicide.
“I won’t hold anything against you... You may choose your own path—join the Luo Clan or rebuild the Han Clan,” he said, with a subtle hint of threat in his tone. Then, Luo Jin took Luo Xiang and Luo Lan back to the Luo Clan.
Upon arriving at the Luo Clan…
“Xianger... Well done!” one of the elders praised Luo Xiang's swordsmanship.
“Oh right… May I ask who your teacher is?” Luo Jin asked seriously.
This question had been carefully prepared by Luo Jin at Luo Lan’s request. After all, the Luo Clan did not possess the sword techniques Luo Xiang had displayed.
Luo Xiang nodded and quickly activated the remaining Divine Soul consciousness within him. At once, a terrifying sight made everyone in Luo Xiang’s residence tremble.
What they saw was a man standing tall, exuding an indescribable aura that overwhelmed those who gazed upon him.
“Wh-who is that?!”
“Son… Do you know his name?” Luo Jin asked respectfully.
Luo Xiang shook his head. “Master only told me that if my parents asked about him, I should simply summon the soul he left behind.”
Realizing that his grandson’s master was beyond his own comprehension, Luo Jin finally let out a relieved breath.
“Hehehe... In all the realms, perhaps no one is worthy to be my master!” Luo Xiang mused inwardly with a mysterious smile.
Everyone nodded in understanding. After learning who Luo Xiang’s master was, Luo Jin brought up the issue regarding Wei Ho.
Luo Xiang explained everything in detail, and they finally understood the root of the problem. Even though it began as a youthful conflict, Wei Ho was the third son of the Wei Clan—meaning a great clan war was inevitable.
Shortly after, Luo Jin shared secret knowledge of the main clan with Luo Xiang, clearly showing his hopes for Luo Xiang to one day become the clan leader. After all, both Qing Tian and Luo Lan had only one heir.
“The Sword Domain... This place is said to be a hidden realm within the Sky Continent... And there are many powerful forces residing in it... It seems the Luo Clan isn’t as simple as I thought,” Luo Xiang muttered.
“Though you’re the sole heir... In the law of nature, strength determines power... Besides, the clan is in a chaotic state, so for now, you won’t be able to train in the main family,” Luo Jin explained.
Luo Xiang nodded in understanding. Having received so much information, he felt the weight of the responsibility placed on his shoulders.
“Very well, Grandfather... One day I will surpass even my father’s achievements... And I will restore the Luo Clan to its former glory!”
After their serious talk, laughter filled the room when Luo Jin pulled out jars of wine from his spatial ring.
That night.
“Mother... How are you feeling?”
Luo Lan smiled sweetly upon hearing her son’s concern for her condition.
“I’ve started to recover...”
Luo Xiang nodded and, without a word, checked the poison within his mother’s body by reading her pulse.
Moments later…
“Heavenly Demon Poison?!” Luo Xiang’s eyes widened in shock.
Luo Lan's expression also turned to one of disbelief. Very few people knew what poison resided in her body.
“H-how did you know, my son?!”
Luo Xiang shook his head. “This is another blessing my master left me... But how did you come to be poisoned with something so deadly, Mother?!”
Luo Lan closed her eyes for a moment. After mustering her courage to reveal a secret kept for seventeen years, she looked warmly into her son’s eyes.
“This poison came when I was protecting you while you were still a child…”
Flashback – Seventeen Years Ago
The Sword Domain was in great turmoil due to a power struggle for the throne of the domain. Major clans and sects residing there had gathered, for in the law of nature, only the strong shall rule. They held a tournament among patriarchs and sect leaders in the domain.
A month before the tournament began, the Luo Clan was infiltrated by five Semi-Divine Realm experts. As a result, Luo Lan and Qing Tian—Luo Xiang’s father—had no choice but to battle these five invaders.
Surprisingly, the couple proved too strong, and the attackers couldn’t defeat them. Eventually, the enemies resorted to targeting young Luo Xiang to escape. This incident severely damaged Luo Xiang’s dantian and poisoned Luo Lan when one of the attackers struck her with a palm laced in deadly venom.
After telling the whole story, Luo Lan broke down in tears, blaming herself. Had she been more vigilant, her son would never have suffered. This guilt led Qing Tian to establish a branch family as a place of exile for Luo Xiang.
Luo Lan believed that had the past unfolded differently, Luo Xiang might have become a respected figure in the Sword Domain today.
Luo Xiang responded only with a warm smile, for without that tragic past, the path of vengeance he now walked would never have unfolded. In other words, if the soul's original owner had survived, Shen Luo Xiang would have truly perished when punished in the Divine Realm.
“Don’t worry, Mother... As for the poison in your body... Xianger will heal it.”
Luo Lan wiped the tears from her cheeks. Her regret transformed into pride at her son’s determination.
“My son... Even though I believe in you, this poison continues to drain my cultivation... If it’s not cured within three years, I’ll surely—”
“There’s no such thing as impossible, Mother. Xianger will heal you!” Luo Xiang cut her off.
Luo Lan could only nod. After they shared a moment of comfort, Luo Xiang revealed the real reason for his visit.
“Do you give me your blessing to leave again?”
Without hesitation, Luo Lan nodded in approval of her son’s decision.
“Of course, I will. But promise me... Be careful out there...”

Qing Mei gazed at Luo Xiang. Perhaps the first guards who surrounded them had only been at the level of One-Star Soul Dao, but now, these five warriors stood at Three and Four-Star Soul Dao.“What if I force my way in…” Luo Xiang’s words trailed off.“You cannot… Even after killing those two wastes earlier… hand over your lives!”Swuush!The five gate guardians lunged at Luo Xiang with their fists. Yet, in the very next instant, a powerful aura swept across them, freezing their movements.“Wh-what aura is this?!” one of the guards exclaimed as they all fell to their knees.Just as the five warriors found themselves unable to move, a figure suddenly appeared behind Luo Xiang—Feng Lao Zi.“Am I allowed to enter?” the old man asked, startling Luo Xiang, Qing Mei, and Wu Yi with his sudden appearance.“Y-you… the Sky-Burning Swordsman…” the five guards trembled in terror, recognizing the figure behind Luo Xiang.“Step aside. After this, I will not hold you accountable,” Feng Lao Zi said c

When Luo Xiang and Wu Yi had put on the black-and-white masks, Wu Yi tried channeling his Qi into it. Suddenly, a thick murderous aura burst forth from his body.“Brother… Why does this mask carry such a murderous aura?”Luo Xiang nodded slightly. “Perhaps the previous owner of these masks was a great assassin. After killing his enemies, he deliberately absorbed and stored their murderous intent inside the mask.”Wu Yi nodded in understanding. Not long after their conversation, Qing Mei’s voice called from outside, prompting them to leave the room.“Xiang’er, are you ready?” asked Qing Mei.Luo Xiang nodded, and the three of them quickly departed from the city.Suiiiiit!A sharp whistle pierced the air. Moments later, a crimson-blue feathered eagle descended from the skies, landing right before them.“We’ll be using this eagle. Any objections?”“No, Auntie…” Luo Xiang replied as he and Wu Yi climbed onto the eagle’s back.Swuush!Once Qing Mei mounted as well, the crimson-blue eagle s

"Aunt, so the Forbidden Land truly exists... and perhaps it is inhabited by an ancient race, possessing high cultivation?""Yes... that’s what I believe. There are countless rumors about the Forbidden Land—some even speak of the existence of Bodhi Elixir within."At the mention of Bodhi Elixir, Luo Xiang’s eyes instantly widened with shock.Even in the Divine Realm, such an elixir is nearly impossible to find... Could it be that this Forbidden Land is in fact the Immortal World? he thought to himself."Xiang’er... it seems you know something about this Forbidden Land." Qing Mei tilted her head, astonished by the sudden change in his expression.Luo Xiang simply shook his head, choosing not to elaborate. Instead, he asked about the layout of the Sword Domain’s entrances and exits. Perhaps, in his days as a God, he had once traveled there. Back then, a mere flick of his fingers was enough to traverse dimensions—he had never needed to bother searching for teleportation gates.Coincidenta

"Strange... why do these two blue lights look as if they’re showing the layout of a place?" Luo Xiang muttered to himself.As he focused on the glow, the lights suddenly shot into his forehead. At once, a fragment of memory surfaced in his mind.These memories revealed a chain of events leading to his father’s disappearance. Within them, Luo Xiang saw countless sacrifices his father had made—just to restore his dantian, so he could cultivate again like any ordinary cultivator.“F-Father!” Luo Xiang cried out.“Kakak?” Wu Yi tilted her head, bewildered at her brother’s sudden outburst after spacing out.“Ahh… it’s nothing.” Luo Xiang scratched the back of his head awkwardly.“I need to find out what that place in my memory was… Maybe I can also discover Father’s whereabouts there.” He murmured, then quickly left his room with Wu Yi following behind.“Kakak, where are you going?” she asked curiously.“I’m going to gather information, Yier,” Luo Xiang replied as they walked through the b

"Soul’s Wrath! Piercing Soul Scarf!"On the other side, since their strengths were evenly matched, the woman in the black dress quickly retreated and unleashed a long-range technique.At the same time, Luo Xiang took advantage of the opening to release his killing seal."Soul Wrath Sword!"Spinning his body, he formed a sealing formation with the sword in his hand. In mere moments, a gigantic figure emerged from within the seal, wielding a massive blade to block the scarf techniques of the black-dressed woman.“Even Princess Ge Yu has to fight seriously… That means this young man is on the same level as us!” one of the elders exclaimed before taking the initiative to strike Luo Xiang, who had just unleashed his technique.Realizing the incoming danger, Luo Xiang moved in a zig-zag motion before countering with his sword. Yet no opening was shown by the elder, until Luo Xiang suddenly realized—he had revealed an opening himself.“Got you, boy!”BOOOOOM!Two other elders suddenly dashed

Ten minutes later, Luo Xiang’s fingers twitched—a sign that his consciousness had returned.“Senior, what happened?” Luo Xiang asked as he realized his body was bound.The Dragon God Ancestor explained everything that had taken place while Luo Xiang was unconscious. Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.“So that’s how it is… The moment I shattered the Five-Element Seal of the Demon World, they immediately seized the golden opportunity…” Luo Xiang muttered in understanding.Wanting to learn more about the woman in the black gown, Luo Xiang allowed himself to remain bound. On the other side, Wu Yi had already awakened and quietly prepared to follow Luo Xiang’s plan.That night, atop the ancient altar, Luo Xiang sensed several powerful auras entering the secret chamber. He and Wu Yi feigned unconsciousness, lying perfectly still.Soon, the woman in the black gown, accompanied by her subordinates, stepped into the altar chamber.“Are these the two you spoke
