Moonshade grove was silent except for the rustling of trees while two figures dragged Li Tian through the forest like a sack of grain. Their hands were like iron shackles around his wrists, and every attempt for Li Tian to break free ended in failure.
Li Tian gritted his teeth and tried to circulate the little qi he possessed, but was simply too weak for cultivators like Li Bao and Li Hu, both grade seven Soul Awakening experts and inner-circle disciples of the Li Celestial Clan. Resisting them was as impossible as pushing back a mountain. The three finally entered a clearing beneath a massive willow tree, and without warning- THUD! They threw Li Tian into the dirt. His cheek scraped across loose gravel before he came to a stop at someone's feet. Li Tian slowly lifted his head and saw himself lying before a pair of white boots. Standing beneath the willow was a young boy around Li Tian's age. Invisible pressure radiated from him, making the surrounding air noticeably heavier. His expensive white robes fluttered gently in the breeze while a flawless jade ring spun lazily around his thumb. It was Li Wei, one of the greatest geniuses of the younger generation, who had reached the grade ten Soul Awakening and was the future pride of the Li Celestial Clan. Li Bao yanked Li Tian upright by the hair while Li Hu forced both of his arms behind his back. Pain shot through his shoulders as his joints nearly dislocated. Li Wei looked down at him with a calm expression. "So..." He stopped spinning the jade ring. "The cripple's son still hasn't learned his lesson." Li Tian struggled to straighten his back. "I..." Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "...I am still a member of this clan." Li Wei smiled, then spat directly into Li Tian's face, the saliva sliding slowly down his bruised cheek. "You call yourself family? You're nothing more than a parasite feeding on our clan's resources." He leaned slightly closer. "You and your crippled father should have left years ago." Li Tian lowered his head for a long moment as he remained silent. Then a weak laugh escaped his lips. "Haaaa..." Li Wei frowned. "What?" Li Tian slowly looked up. "You..." He coughed blood before forcing out another smile. "...have no right to speak about dignity. Your father is the most shameless man in this clan." Li Bao and Li Hu froze after hearing the words coming out of Li Tian's mouth. Li Wei's fingers stopped moving, and his smile vanished immediately, as he wore an ugly expression"What did you say?" Li Tian met his gaze"My father fought fairly, but your father couldn't win, so he crippled him with a forbidden technique." A cold breeze swept through Moonshade Grove, and for the first time, something cracked behind Li Wei's composed expression as rage overtook him. "So that's what your father told you." His voice became frighteningly soft. "A cripple's son daring to insult the Clan Leader." Li Tian burst into laughter. "At least my father never cheated." BOOM! A ruthless pressure exploded from Li Wei's body. He slowly raised his right hand while golden qi gathered around his fist as he launched it toward Li Tian Golden Fist: Li Tian looked at the approaching fist. He understood immediately that Li Wei wasn't trying to teach him a lesson, but intended to kill him. BOOOOOOM!! The earth exploded, and a deafening shockwave swept through the clearing while massive cracks spread across the ground like spiderwebs. Li Tian's body disappeared beneath the impact. As the dust slowly settled, a crater nearly ten meters wide had formed beneath the willow tree. Li Tian lay buried in shattered earth while blood flowed from his ears, his nose, his eyes, and his swollen face was barely recognizable. His body trembled uncontrollably before finally becoming still. Li Bao swallowed hard. "...Young Master..." Li Wei calmly brushed imaginary dust from his sleeve. "You should feel grateful. My father showed your family mercy. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be breathing." Just then a young girl stepped into the clearing, A-Ning. The moment she saw the crater, her expression changed as her eyes moved from the unconscious Li Tian to Li Wei standing above him. She clenched her fists."Li Wei." Her voice broke the silence, and everyone turned toward her. She walked forward without hesitation until she stood at the edge of the crater, looking at Lin Tian blood had soaked the shattered earth beneath his body. "What have you done?" Her breathing became uneven. Li Wei answered casually. "He challenged me." A-Ning's eyes narrowed. "He's barely alive." No one answered her, as they were less concerned about whether he was alive or not. She raised her head. "I'll report this to the clan elders." The words struck them like thunder. Li Bao and Li Hu immediately exchanged uneasy glances. Even Li Wei's expression stiffened for a brief moment. Slowly, he turned toward her. "You'll report me?" His voice was calm. A-Ning didn't retreat. "What you did crossed the line." Several heartbeats passed, and neither of them moved. Then a cold smile spread across Li Wei's face as he looked at the unconscious Li Tian while his eyes were burning with undisguised hatred. "This isn't over." He turned around. "Let's go." Li Bao and Li Hu immediately followed him as relief was utterly visible on both of their faces None of them look back except Li Wei's whose voice drifted through the grove. "The next time we meet, I'll make sure you never wake up again." A-Ning ran into the crater and dropped to her knees beside Li Tian. His breathing was almost impossible to hear. "...Idiot." Her voice trembled as she carefully lifted his head into her lap. "You always act brave when you're too weak to protect yourself." [Present day] As Li Yuer was still holding Li Tian tight suddenly a figure bagged into the room and the door burst open Bam !!!!Latest Chapter
Back to Heaven Gorge
Immediately after Li Tian stepped into the entrance before him, the entire Chaos Realm trembled. The endless darkness surrounding him vanished, and in the next moment, the world changed completely. Li Tian found himself standing in the middle of a familiar battle. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the cold wind swept across the land, carrying the heavy atmosphere of death. His eyes widened as he looked around. The Heavenly Gorge, the same place where everything had ended in his previous life. Around him stood countless disciples wearing the robes of the Heavenly Accord Sect, their cold gazes fixed on him, exactly like that day. For a moment, Li Tian stood frozen. "Why am I here again?" His voice was filled with confusion. The scene before him felt too real, the pressure from the surrounding disciples and the cold wind touching his skin, everything was exactly the same. Li Tian slowly lowered his head and touched his body. He circulated his qi and checked his meridians. H
Unknown
Li Tian found himself standing before a cave that was radiating a powerful Chaos Energy. The surrounding area was completely covered in darkness, with only the terrifying aura coming from the cave entrance illuminating the endless black space. He looked around with a confused expression. "How did I get here...?" His eyes narrowed slightly. "Is this still the Chaos Realm?" The last thing he remembered was his body being destroyed by Long Bo's World Incineration, the pain from his broken bones, the weakness of his consciousness, and the feeling of death approaching were still fresh in his mind. But now, he was standing in a place he had never seen before, the pressure here was far beyond anything he had experienced before. Li Tian slowly walked closer to the cave entrance, wanting to see what was written above it. However, before he could clearly read the ancient characters carved on the stone wall— "Hahahaha!" A loud laughter suddenly echoed through the darkness. Li Tian immediate
Unstable condition
The chaos at the Dragon Vein Mountain slowly came to an end. After the investigation was temporarily halted, the disciples and elders from the different clans began leaving the area. The terrifying scene left behind inside the mountain remained fresh in everyone's minds. Ye Xuan carried the unconscious Ye Zhing back toward the Ye Clan. Her condition was also unstable, for she had fainted after noticing that Li Tian was left behind inside the mountain. Her face was pale, and her breathing remained weak. As the Ye Clan disciples saw Ye Xuan returning with Ye Zhing unconscious, their expressions changed immediately. "What happened?" Ye Xuan did not answer while his expression remained serious as he carried her away. [Li Clan Medical Room] Silence filled the room. Li Tian lay motionless on the bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages, covering the injuries he suffered at the dragon mountain. The room was filled with the faint smell of medicine. Several silver needles were placed a
Many witnesses
The moment the disciple finished speaking, the entire Dragon Vein Mountain entrance remained unsettled. The accusation against the Long Clan was too serious, nobody expected that the situation would turn in such a direction. At first, everyone believed Li Tian was the only suspicious person, because he was the only one who survived after entering the Dragon Vein Mountains, but now, a witness had stepped forward, and his words had created another possibility. Before anyone could respond, another figure walked forward from the crowd. "Great Elder Yu." Everyone turned their attention toward the newcomer. It was Gu Shan, and behind him were several other disciples who had also been rescued by Li Tian inside the Dragon Vein Mountains. They immediately walked forward. The Long Clan elders frowned when they saw them. "What are you all doing?" Gu Shan ignored the question and looked directly at Great Elder Yu. "We came here to speak the truth." Great Elder Yu nodded. "Then speak." Gu
The witness
The Great Elder Yu raised his hand, stopping the rising tension between the two sides."It is unfortunate that such a tragedy happened during this competition," he said with a heavy voice. "However, I want everyone to understand that the matter will be investigated thoroughly. If anyone is found responsible for what happened inside the Dragon Vein Mountains, they will be punished accordingly."His words echoed throughout the area. However, the Long Clan elders showed no intention of accepting the explanation. Their eyes remained fixed on the lifeless bodies of their four geniuses..These were not ordinary disciples. They represented the future of the Long Clan. Years of resources, countless treasures, and the hopes of the entire clan had been placed on them. And now, all four of them had returned as corpses.One of the Long Clan elders clenched his fists tightly. "Investigated?" he said coldly. "Great Elder Yu, do you expect us to remain calm after seeing this?" His voice trembled wit
How did he survive
The entire Dragon Vein Mountain had fallen into an unsettling silence.The disciples who had remained behind could only stare at the battlefield before them with fear written across their faces. Countless Long Clan disciples lay motionless on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds from the terrifying battle that had taken place.However, what shocked them the most was not the number of casualties. It was the corpse of the Dragon King.The enormous body of the beast remained lifeless in the distance and its powerful aura that had once suppressed the entire mountain completely gone.Many disciples swallowed nervously."How could this happen?""That was the Dragon King... an existence that even Transformation Realm experts feared.""How could Li Tian kill it?"A disciple looked at the unconscious figure in Ye Xuan's arms with disbelief. "Or was he supported by some external force?"The question caused many people to exchange uncertain gazes. Nobody wanted to believe that Li Tian, som
