After 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.

Everyone was instantly shocked by this sight—especially Luo Xiang, who had already regained all of his past memories.“Shi’er… h-how can you be alive again?!”Pulling the sword out of her own chest, Wen Shi gave a faint smile and said softly,“My fate has always been cruel. My life was toyed with… This reality was never fair to me. Gege, I was resurrected by Chang Guan…”Her body then turned into black smoke and slowly dissipated.In the next moment, Luo Nan rushed forward and hugged his father tightly.

    “I don’t remember what kind of relationship you have with me. I don’t even remember anything about myself. I only want to know one thing… wasn’t it you who gave energy to the Third Heavenly Judge? What exactly are your intentions?”Setting down his small cup, the masked man clapped his hands, clearly praising Luo Xiang’s words.“In short, it’s very simple. I want to restore your lost memories. Living without a clear identity—doesn’t that lead to endless loneliness?”“With such good intentions… you must also want something from me, right?”“Hahahaha! Nothing in this world is free. Sword God, my request is very simple… I only want you to appear and kill the Supreme Emperor during the Ranking Tournament.”The Sword God fell silent in deep thought. But suddenly, Long Hua Chen, his three brothers, and Yuan Yin emerged from the void.“Gege!”Swuuuuuush!“Do you want to interfere? Isn’t it true that, to avenge the hatred in your hearts, you all share the same plan as mine? Or will you all be

    Just as he was about to leave to meet the person in question, thousands of Heavenly troops suddenly surrounded Yuan Yin and the Light Clan forces.“The Light Clan has allied with the power of the Main Gods to betray the Supreme Emperor… A decree of extermination has been issued. You are now surrounded. Surrender!”Yuan Yin smiled faintly and struck the ground with her palm. Instantly, a massive formation shaped like radiant swords emerged from every corner of the grand formation established by the Light Clan. All the swords were now poised to launch an attack against the thousands of Heavenly troops.“Wife of the Sword God… why do you still insist on rebelling?”“If you hadn’t impersonated the Sword God and schemed to overthrow the Supreme Emperor’s throne, we would never have acted!”“Now, surrender!”Rooooaaaaarh!Swuuuuuuuuuush! Swuuuuuuuush!The Dragon God—and the entire Dragon Clan army—suddenly appeared from multiple directions. Their arrival immediately put the Heavenly troops

    “Th-this technique…”The Sky Judge’s body trembled. He was vaguely familiar with several of the Sword God’s techniques.The moment he realized that his opponent was the real Sword God, he immediately ordered several five-star True God–stage resurrection soldiers to destroy the barrier formation that was imprisoning them.However, thousands of swords had already shot forth, slicing their bodies into countless pieces.

    “Then what should we do?”“Hua Chen, you search for and monitor the masked man’s movements… As for the others, continue carrying out the plan as arranged. Qin Yan, do your utmost to conceal my husband’s existence and identity. Do not let him be exploited by the Supreme Emperor’s faction…”“We have heard and accepted the Queen’s command!”*High above the sky, after concealing his aura, Luo Xiang was utterly shocked by the conversation he had just overheard. Everything sounded extremely reasonable—especially the implication that he himself seemed to have a deep connection with that group. Moreover, because of the golden sword that had pierced the ground, he could not approach them directly, at least not before obtaining solid proof of the truth.“I’m aware that I have no one by my side. The only clue I possess is a single letter left by the Enlightened Emperor… It’s better if I don’t reveal myself for now…”Swuuuuuuush!Using his spatial power once more, Luo Xiang arrived above the cen

    “Report this matter to the Queen…”Swuuuuuuush!Long Hua Chen chased after the direction in which the golden sword had flown. As for Qin Yan, he also departed, but headed in a different direction.*Elsewhere, Luo Xiang saw Xue Xan Kong leave through a teleportation formation and immediately used his spatial power. He appeared right in front of the man, whose face instantly turned pale.“M-my lord… D-didn’t you say you would release me and my family?!”Without replying, Luo Xiang sensed the aura of a mysterious figure approaching his direction and swiftly struck Xue Xan Kong’s movement meridians. After that, he carried the immobilized man into a quiet forest.Releasing the seal, Luo Xiang said, “I don’t wish to kill anyone else… Now tell me, what exactly happened to the Sword God one year ago?”“W-who are you? How could you not know such a major event?”“Speak clearly. I don’t like beating around the bush!”Xue Xan Kong’s body trembled. Although the masked man’s tone sounded calm, he
