At the summit of Mount Tai, a bolt of lightning tore through the void and shattered the sacrificial altar at the peak. Lightning striking in broad daylight, along with the destruction of an ancient relic, caused a stir and sparked heated discussions for a time.
On a high speed train heading to Tongzhou.
A young man sat on the train with a dazed expression. The young mans chiselled face appeared somewhat pale, yet it could not hide that trace of soaring ambition. It revealed an extraordinary aura.
I have really been reborn? Or is this just an illusion?
The young man sighed. He carefully sensed inside his body and discovered that the Taihuang Scripture was like a heavenly dragon lying dormant in the abyss. It could not be summoned. At this moment all his cultivation had vanished completely. Only a trace of protective aura from the Taihuang Scripture remained.
It seems I have truly returned. I have actually come back to Earth, and to the year when I was twenty years old. The young man was named Luo Chen. He was the last successor of the Taihuang lineage.
Originally Luo Chen was just an ordinary person. However by a stroke of luck he entered the world of cultivation and obtained the Taihuang Scripture. He became the last successor of the Taihuang lineage that shook the universe. He cultivated step by step and eventually achieved the position of supreme Immortal Venerable.
The Luo Chen of the past could be said to have fought ten thousand races without defeat. He pushed back all enemies across the myriad realms. He trod upon heaven and earth and stood at the pinnacle of the ten thousand paths. Unfortunately he was ambushed by the three great Heavenly Venerables who returned in the Third Solar Era.
Hehe, three great Heavenly Venerables? You went so far as to use the Wordless Heavenly Book and the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays to ambush me all for the Taihuang Scripture. Unfortunately this Immortal Venerable was not fated to die. In the end I have returned. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Luo Chens mouth. A trace of icy intent gathered in his eyes.
In his previous life although his combat power was astonishing and his surging techniques overwhelmed all paths, earning him the title of Immortal Venerable, his realm was ultimately too low. He still suffered disaster. His blood spilled within the Ten Great Ferocious Arrays and he perished by self detonation.
But this life was different. He had been reborn once again and returned to Earth.
I need to build a solid foundation now. Then cultivate the divine treasures within my body step by step. Along the way I will also obtain those few world shocking divine seeds scattered across Earth. Then even the three great Heavenly Venerables will only be worthy of being trampled under my feet.
Hehe, I look forward to meeting you all again. Three great Heavenly Venerables, when that time comes I will see if you still have the qualifications to match me. When I seize a few supreme treasures first, I really look forward to seeing the wonderful expressions on your faces! A cold smile crossed Luo Chens lips once more.
Dudu dudu… The phone rang. Luo Chen took out his mobile phone and looked at it. His brows could not help but furrow. Seeing the caller, Luo Chen whose mind had already transcended worldly matters could not help but feel a spark of vengeful anger ignite in his heart.
Why was he able to embark on the path of cultivation back then? It was related to the owner of this phone call.
Yet that was the beginning of the tragedy of his life.
In his previous life his family could not be considered wealthy. But his father had a house in the county town, a car, and even savings of several hundred thousand. It could be said to be a relatively well off family. They also had a small renovation company. No matter what he could live quite comfortably.
But it was this trip that destroyed everything.
Not long after graduating from university he and his girlfriend Zhang Xiaoman were living in different places. This time he was going to find his girlfriend. For Zhang Xiaoman, Luo Chen even chose to give up his promising future in Youzhou and go to Tongzhou to work as a small employee.
Luo Chen would never have imagined that this trip would mark the beginning of disaster.
He arrived in Tongzhou with carefully selected gifts only to be beaten into a cripple. His hands suffered comminuted fractures. His knees were smashed. This caused him to fall into depression for a long time and even contemplate suicide.
He became a cripple who did not even have the ability to live independently. His father spent all the familys savings to treat him. He sold the car and house. In the end he even ended up scavenging rubbish for a living.
Until that snowy night when someone brought back his fathers already cold body. He wept uncontrollably.
In the nearly twenty years that followed he lived like a dog. He was mocked and cursed by others and even begged for a living.
The blow was too great for him. It once left Luo Chen disheartened. Finally one night Luo Chen went to the summit of Mount Tai and jumped off.
Who would have thought that not only did he not die but he fell into the world of cultivation. Ultimately he obtained the Taihuang Scripture. He embarked on the path of cultivation, rose against the heavens, achieved an unparalleled legend, defeated all the ancient gods between heaven and earth and became an Immortal Venerable who shook one side.
Unfortunately even as a supreme Immortal Venerable he could not revive his father. This became the greatest regret in his legendary life and the reason he could not break through the final layer for so long.
But this time it was different. Since he could live again Luo Chen swore that no one could harm his father. As for those few enemies in Tongzhou from the previous life, you caused my family to be destroyed. In this life how could I not take revenge for this grudge?
He answered the phone. A voice with a hint of impatience and coldness came from the other end.
Hello, Luo Chen. When you arrive call me in advance. My mum and I will pick you up at the station.
Then without giving Luo Chen any extra opportunity the person on the other end directly hung up the phone.
Luo Chen however had a cold smile appear at the corner of his mouth. In his previous life he loved this woman as if he had gone mad. But after going to Tongzhou he was looked down upon by her parents. He faced all kinds of mockery, sarcasm and various difficulties.
This woman also because of her familys opposition ultimately deceived him out of more than a million in savings that his father had given him for starting a business. Then she heartlessly abandoned him and got together with a second generation official.
But in this life, Luo Chen could not help but smile coldly again. We can take our time and play.
Luo Chen put down his mobile phone and happened to glance at an old man and a young girl sitting beside him.
At this moment the old man was opening an antique looking box with an expectant face. He took out a painting from the box, unfolded it and was admiring it.
However after taking one look Luo Chen disdainfully withdrew his gaze.
What kind of look is that? Do you understand? Suddenly the young girl beside the old man spoke up and questioned him. Because of her status the young girl had been pampered by others since childhood. So she had developed an arrogant personality. Seeing Luo Chens disdainful gaze she immediately became angry.
Understand?
Are you joking?
In his previous life Luo Chen was an Immortal Venerable. With his knowledge how could he not understand?
Moreover with just one glance at the painting before him Luo Chen knew it was a fake. Yet this old man was still carefully handling it full of affection as if he had obtained the genuine work.
But with Luo Chens temperament how could he stoop to the level of this little girl?
Besides Luo Chen could tell from their clothing and attire that this old man and young girl were probably of extremely prominent status, either rich or noble.
You do not understand so do not look randomly. Of course for a country bumpkin like you, you probably have never seen a genuine antique worth tens of millions in your entire life. As the young girl said this she held her chin high. Her face was full of disdain. Her status was noble and she usually associated with the powerful and wealthy. So she naturally looked down on ordinary people like Luo Chen.
