2025-06-29 11:41:24After a full day of exhausting running, Luo Xiang sat cross-legged in the courtyard of his own residence, inspecting the damage to his shattered dantian.
Meanwhile, Han Fei, bruised and beaten, had returned to his quarters. Ashamed of his defeat by Luo Xiang, the second young master of the Han Clan reported the incident to his older brother, Han Lu.
"Brother, aren’t you going to teach him a lesson?!" Han Fei protested, disappointed by his brother's indifference.
"Foolish brat. He can’t cultivate, so what are you so afraid of? And what happened to your face? You look like a pig," Han Lu said flatly, though clearly surprised.
A sly smile crept across Han Fei’s lips as he tried to provoke his brother further.
"Brother... he used poison powder to cheat. That’s the only reason he beat me!"
Han Lu's eyes narrowed. Though Han Fei was only at the early third-star Dao stage, even poison shouldn’t have left him this battered.
"Are you sure he cheated?" Han Lu’s voice turned cold.
Seeing that his provocation worked, Han Fei continued to fuel his brother’s anger.
After inspecting his ruined dantian, Luo Xiang sighed deeply. To heal it, he needed three rare ingredients, each unimaginably expensive—perhaps even costing a life to obtain.
"How am I supposed to find Divine Leaf Root, Heaven's Tear, and Eternal Ginseng in this continent?" Luo Xiang muttered.
As he despaired over the impossible ingredients, two figures appeared: Han Fei and Han Lu, along with their entourage, approaching Luo Xiang’s home.
"Trash! Look, I brought my brother! Are you ready to kneel and beg for forgiveness?!" Han Fei shouted arrogantly.
"Beg for forgiveness? You think I’d do that?" Luo Xiang replied, narrowing his eyes at Han Lu.
Why can’t I access this body's memories? Luo Xiang thought, puzzled.
"Do you remember how I crippled you once? Now that you’re healed, is that why you dared bully my little brother?" Han Lu asked, calm but with a piercing gaze.
"So, he’s the one who injured this body..." Luo Xiang muttered, becoming more alert.
"Why so silent? Are you scared I’ll cripple you again?" Han Lu mocked, his tone turning colder.
"Hahahaha... I hate being called trash. Even if you bring those moldy elders with you, I wouldn't hesitate to kill you all," Luo Xiang taunted.
"You bastard! You’re asking for death!"
Swuuuush!
Hot-tempered, Han Lu launched a qi-infused palm strike toward Luo Xiang. Just as Luo Xiang prepared to dodge, Luo Lan appeared and deflected the attack with a single finger.
Baaams!
The burst of qi energy spread through the courtyard as Luo Lan stood in front of her son.
"Are you alright, son?" she asked, then glared fiercely at the Han entourage.
"I’m fine, Mother," Luo Xiang replied.
She nodded but turned her sharp gaze toward the elders.
"Did you come to the Luo Clan just to bully my child?!" she said coldly.
"Tch! You rotten hag! If you have the guts, fight us! Stay out of the younger generation's business!"
One of the elders flew up and stopped just in front of Luo Lan. She smiled thinly.
Swuuuung!
"If you had come with good intentions, I would have welcomed you warmly. But now, I remember your young master once harmed my son! Leave. Now!"
A powerful energy surged from Luo Lan’s body. Sensing the Dao Ling fifth-star cultivation level, the Han elders shuddered.
"D-damn... Even together, we can’t defeat a Dao Ling expert!" one elder whispered.
"Tch! Useless trash..." Han Lu scoffed.
While the elders cowered before Luo Lan’s cultivation, Shen Luo Xiang grew concerned. If she used her Qi carelessly, the poison in her body could erupt.
"Mother, please calm down. I know my limits," Shen Luo Xiang whispered.
"Leave now! If I see any of you in Luo territory again, I’ll kill you myself," Luo Lan threatened.
"Tch! If the clan patriarch were here, would you still act so high and mighty?" Han Lu sneered before turning away.
Just as they were about to leave, Luo Xiang called out:
"Wait!"
Han Lu turned, a sly grin forming.
"Going to hide behind your mother again?" he mocked.
"HAHA! Of course not. I want to challenge you to a duel... one month from now!"
Han Lu and his group burst into laughter. Luo Lan, however, was alarmed.
"Are you kidding, son? You can’t even cultivate! Maybe you got lucky against Han Fei, but Han Lu is at the Dao Core fifth-star level!"
"Don’t worry, Mother."
"Fine! I accept your challenge! Come to the Han Clan. I’ll welcome you properly," Han Lu sneered.
"But remember—don’t expect to hide behind your mother during our fight."
Before Luo Xiang could respond, Luo Lan dragged him into the house.
Once inside the living room, she tried to reason with him.
"Are you sure about this, son?"
"Mother... I want to try. Please give me your blessing to train outside the clan."
"But with your condition..." Luo Lan hesitated.
Before she could continue, a familiar voice interrupted.
"Laner... If this is truly his wish, then fate will surely offer a path. Don’t worry."
"Father, but—"
Swuuuush!
An old man appeared, stroking his long beard. From his mysterious entrance, Luo Xiang was certain this grandfather was a powerful cultivator in the Heavenly Continent.
"Grandfather..." both Luo Xiang and Luo Lan greeted him.
"Enough. Sooner or later, Xiang’er must carry on your and his father's legacy. Will you really hold him back?" Luo Jin asked.
"Very well... I approve. Xiang’er, go prepare your things."
Luo Xiang nodded and returned to his room to pack.
As he finished, he overheard part of a conversation between his mother and grandfather.
"Grandfather, I still haven’t found any trace of Xiang’er’s father. Do you have any clues?"
"It may have been the Dark Army... but nothing is certain."
Luo Xiang was shocked. In his past life, the Dark Army had fought alongside the Sky Forces to destroy demons.
"Then the Luo Clan must be a powerful family. The original owner’s father must have been a respected figure..." Shen Luo Xiang thought. With no access to the original body’s memories, he knew he had much to learn on his journey.
"Tch... I can’t be selfish and chase only my revenge. I need to understand what this body’s purpose truly is..." he muttered, then stepped out of his room.

“I don’t know… But one thing’s for sure—I need to surpass him!”Both of them gave their opinions about Luo Xiang, who was training his body’s resilience under the crushing pressure of gravity.However, by the end of the day, they were forced to stop at the twentieth step, needing time to adapt to the overwhelming gravitational force.Booms!Suddenly, a small explosion rang out from within Luo Xiang’s body. He gritted his teeth in annoyance at the impatience of the Sky-Devouring Flame.“Damn it… Can’t you just stay quiet?!” Luo Xiang cursed internally.Annoyed by the disruption, he finally decided to step onto the final stair.Wuuung!The final step shook, releasing a blinding beam of light that shot into the dark night sky. Though he had successfully climbed all the stairs, Luo Xiang still needed to walk five meters forward.Swoooosh!As he pushed through the intense gravitational pressure, black flames began to dance and blaze around his body. Startled, the Phoenix Flame, which had b

Realizing who the informant was, Luo Xiang let out a soft chuckle. In his mind, the Star God had no reason to do something so foolish.Still, he felt grateful—because the information the Star God gave him marked the beginning of his journey back to godhood."Let’s go back..." Bai suddenly lost interest in fighting over the Phoenix Flame amidst the thousands of cultivators struggling for it.Hearing this, Luo Xiang nodded, understanding Bai’s concerns."Yier, will you follow your master’s request?" Luo Xiang asked seriously."What is it, Master?""Even though the Star Steps can strengthen your physical training, in the current situation, fighting over the Phoenix Flame will surely result in a terrible bloodbath... So, I ask that you return to the Luo Clan with Senior Bai.""No. I want to stay and protect you..."Luo Xiang gently shook his head while brushing Hong Yi’s soft hair."Trust your master."Bai, who had lost interest, suddenly changed his mind. This surprised Luo Xiang."Since

The eagle Bai was riding began to rebel fiercely, its body swaying out of control."Feel this! Fly properly, will you? Can’t you see how happy I am to ride you?"In retaliation for the eagle's erratic behavior, Bai lightly tapped its head. The angry eagle shook its body even more violently.Woooosh!Bai was thrown off the eagle's back. Instantly, the eagle seemed overjoyed, as if delighted that the mischievous human got what he deserved."You little brat! I’ll teach you a lesson!"Swuuuush!Just before hitting the ground, a pair of blue wings emerged from Bai’s back. Enraged, he soared after his mount, determined to give it a taste of its own medicine.Swuuuush! Swuuuush!The two of them chased each other through the skies at high speed toward the Ghost Desert. Watching their antics, Luo Xiang couldn’t help but smile despite the heavy burden on his mind."Those two really are made for each other."After a week of travel on the silver-winged eagle, passing through dozens of cities and

Hong Yi nodded, now fully understanding his master’s explanation. This was evident from the close-combat training he had never done before—except with his teacher.A few days later, Bai had grown quite close to Hong Yi after some casual conversations. During a rest period while they were gathering Qi energy, Luo Xiang sensed several auras approaching."Can you feel it?" Bai asked, unfazed by the group that was about to stop right above them in the sky."Yeah... but I don't care either," Luo Xiang replied, glancing at Hong Yi who was trying to suppress the poisonous aura from her body."I expected this… You’re actually quite a genius to grasp what’s usually difficult for ordinary cultivators.”He looked at her proudly—until suddenly, his gaze was drawn upward after hearing a sharp screech from a silver-winged eagle above.“Fools who seek death never seem to run out...” Luo Xiang muttered.Swuuuush! Swuuuush!Five young men and a middle-aged man descended from the back of the silver-win

“I-I’m… afraid of the dark!” Hong Yi stammered, her face showing clear fear, as if she couldn’t bear to be alone in such a place.“If you don’t change, your soul will remain dark—just like this place,” Luo Xiang replied calmly.Traumatized from being abandoned in darkness before, Hong Yi broke down in tears before Luo Xiang.“Who… who are you really?!”“You don’t need to know for now… If you’re willing to follow me, you’ll learn the truth in time.”Though his words were cryptic, Hong Yi nodded quietly.“It wouldn’t be wrong for me to take her as my disciple,” Luo Xiang thought. “She’s a true genius—able to create something new from what she has...”“Do you want to become my disciple?”“B-but… we’re nearly the same age…” Hong Yi hesitated, feeling unsure.Swuuush!A golden light entered Hong Yi’s soul. Within moments, Luo Xiang bestowed upon her a technique to suppress her poison body, as well as numerous powerful sword techniques.“If you don’t want to call me Master, then consider th

“You think I’d face you alone?” the demon woman sneered.Shreeeet!A sharp whistle echoed through the air. Moments later, a massive, muscular zombie appeared.“Wu Dao, attack him.”“Yes…” the zombie replied in a deep, robotic voice.Seeing this new zombie, Luo Xiang’s eyebrows lifted slightly. This one was much stronger than the others.Swuuush!Wu Dao lunged forward, launching a punch toward Luo Xiang’s face. The strike was slow enough for Luo Xiang to read, and he met it with a punch of his own.BOOOM!A massive surge of energy exploded outward. Luo Xiang was knocked back ten steps from his position.Though Wu Dao stood unmoved, one of his arms crumbled into dust. But to Luo Xiang’s astonishment, the arm began to regenerate almost instantly.“This is…” Luo Xiang muttered, impressed by the demon woman’s brilliance. This zombie exceeded every expectation he had.Swuuush!Wu Dao launched another attack, this time joined by the demon woman herself. With the two of them striking together
