Chapter 1: Betrayal
Ghost Ridge, the mountain behind the Xuanyin Sect.
The weather was exceptionally gloomy, with heavy rain pouring down. The entire back mountain seems to be shrouded in a gray cage, which is particularly depressing.
"Da... Click..."
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps on a small mountain road, bringing a splash of water that splashed into the air.
I was greeted by a teenager about 16 years old.
There was a trace of blood on the corner of the young man's mouth, his face was extremely pale, and he covered his chest with one hand, and ran through the heavy rain with difficulty.
In addition, behind the boy were a man and a woman, the girl was about the same age as the boy, and the man was a young man.
The two held umbrellas and followed the young man in front of them unhurriedly.
"Xu Ling, don't struggle anymore, give up, it will come out soon. The girl spoke slowly, but there was no expression on her beautiful face.
Maybe he really didn't have the strength to run anymore, or maybe he was desperate in his heart, and the boy finally stopped.
"Allure, why do you want to do this to me?" the young man turned around and looked at the girl in front of him who was his childhood sweetheart, with a trace of doubt and deep pain in his eyes.
A sneer flashed at the corner of the girl's mouth, "You, you will always be so naΓ―ve. β
"Hehe......" the young man smiled miserably, "I'm really naΓ―ve......"
The rain was still falling, but the three of them did not speak again, and there was only the sound of dense raindrops between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the cloudy sky.
"Ah......h
The boy let out a terrible howl of pain, and then a black shadow burst out of his chest with a mist of blood.
"It's finally out!" the young man, who had not spoken, suddenly smiled strangely and took out a wooden box from his arms.
The wooden box is about the size of a palm, and the surrounding area is engraved with complex spiritual patterns, which looks simple and weird.
"Close!"
The young man flicked open the wooden box, sealed it with one hand, and silently recited a mantra in his mouth. I saw that the wooden box was instantly black, and it shot towards the black shadow, and it was instantly wrapped in the black shadow.
"Squeak... Squeak...", as if unwilling to be bound, the black shadow let out a terrible sound like gnawing on metal, and struggled violently.
However, this struggle did not last long, and the black shadow calmed down, and followed the black light back to the wooden box.
"I can finally give an account to my master. The young man closed the wooden box and exhaled a long breath.
The girl who was witnessing everything on the side also walked over at this moment, smiled and said, "Congratulations, senior brother, you have successfully lowered this thing." β
"Well, it's thanks to the cooperation of my junior sister this time. The young man's face was joyful, his eyes swept over the young man who had fallen to the side, and he said with some disgust: "Senior sister, what to do with this waste?"
When the girl heard this, her eyes also fell on the young man, and she smiled coldly and said, "Send him back, I want to surprise his people." β
............
Nanfeng Kingdom, the imperial city of Xu's family.
In the room, Xu Ling slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion on his face.
"In the year 1306 of the Tianming calendar, Nanfeng Kingdom, the disciple of the Xu family, I didn't expect that after a thousand years, I would ......live again," Xu Ling muttered.
Through the fusion of memories, Xu Ling was very sure that he was reborn, and he was reborn in a teenager with the same name and surname as himself.
He was originally the Shura Supreme of the Central Sacred Domain, one of the eight Young Supremes, but when he participated in the Battle of the Inheritance of the Martial Warrior Central Alliance, he was besieged and killed by the joint efforts of several other Young Supremes, and fell on the Inheritance Holy Table.
Even, even his most beloved woman, Luan Lisupreme, was ruthlessly suppressed for saving him, and in the end not only failed to save him, but was hit hard, and her life and death are unknown.
"Luanli, I'm sorry for you, don't worry, since God let me live again, I will definitely find you, whether you live or die, I will find you." β
"And Mo Changkong, a few of you are also waiting for me, I will personally come back and take off your heads to sacrifice the old hatred. β
Several figures flashed in Xu Ling's mind, and his face was cloudy.
"Well, let's solve the problem at hand first. Xu Ling let out a long sigh, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
After fusing his memory, he already knew this body, the reason for his predecessor's death, that strange scene, came to his mind, and even, he could feel the strong obsession in the depths of his soul.
"Don't worry, since I have taken over your body, then, we are one, what you lost, I will help you get it back, and those who betrayed you, I will let them repay you double. Xu Ling clenched his hands into fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
After being silent for a while, Xu Ling opened his inner look and began to investigate the body.
"The martial vein has been abolished, and the body has suffered a fatal blow, eh? It seems that there was once something lurking in this body, and this thing is very evil, taking almost all the life of this body. β
After some investigation, Xu Ling frowned and pondered.
"Well, no matter what it is, one day, I'll find the answer, but right now, this body is really bad!"
"Hey, what is this?"
Just as Xu Ling was sighing, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his body.
Xu Ling couldn't help but concentrate and investigated again, only to see that in the originally damaged body, something like a golden dragon was emitting bursts of light, entrenched under Xu Ling's originally broken waste martial veins, slowly squirming, as if it had life.
"Is this? wait... This golden dragon-like thing, could it be the legendary dragon soul martial vein?" Even Xu Ling, who had seen a lot in his previous life, became short of breath at this moment.
Because even in his previous life, as one of the eight supremes of the Central Sacred Domain, his martial veins were only heaven-level high-grade, and in his memory, all the martial veins were the same, and they had no life. Only the legendary martial vein that surpassed the heavenly level would have a unique form and possess spirituality, and this kind of martial vein, even in the Central Sacred Domain, was extremely rare.
The so-called martial veins are the bridge that connects the martial artist's qi sea and the whole body acupoint palace, generally speaking, the shape of the martial veins is roughly similar, and they are all like tree roots that connect the warrior's qi sea and the surrounding body acupoint palace.
Of course, the martial veins are also divided into grades, from low to high, they are divided into human level, Xuan level, earth level, heaven level, etc.
For martial artists, the martial vein is crucial, as it determines the martial artist's martial arts cultivation talent and how far they can go in the martial arts.
After some excitement, Xu Ling muttered: "Nangong Allure, it seems that I should thank you, if you don't abolish my martial vein, how can I break it and stand up, with the legendary god-level martial vein, don't worry, it won't be long before I will become your nightmare!"
"And Mo Changkong, you don't have to wait too long, at most a hundred years, I will definitely take your life. β
With the legendary dragon soul martial vein, coupled with the background of his previous life, at this moment, Xu Ling's confidence increased greatly.
"You have to have the strength as soon as possible."
After calming down, Xu Ling decided to choose a set of exercises and embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.
In his previous life, Xu Ling was born in the Xu family, the top family of the Central Sacred Domain, whether it was exercises or martial arts, he had never lacked them, and now, these have naturally become the foundation for his rise.
Xu Ling's main practice in his previous life was called "Nine Hidden Divine Transformation Heavenly Scriptures", and it is rumored that this set of exercises was obtained by an ancestor of the Xu family in the Holy Domain, from an extraterritorial ruin, and this set of exercises is a set of incomplete exercises with only the first half. It was precisely because of this that almost no one in the entire Xu family in the Sacred Domain was willing to cultivate, with the exception being Xu Ling.
At the beginning, he also heard his father mention this set of exercises by chance, and out of curiosity, he secretly practiced it. However, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and in the end, the entire Xu family knew about his practice of this set of exercises, and his father was so angry that he almost killed him.
Fortunately, this set of exercises is indeed very rebellious, and in just ten years, Xu Ling has become one of the eight juvenile supremes of the Holy Domain, and this matter is also gradually accepted by the Xu family under the helplessness of the Xu family.
According to Xu Ling's memories in his previous life, the half of the mutilated exercises he practiced had a total of nine levels, and in his previous life, he had only cultivated to the fifth level, and he was able to dominate the young generation of the Holy Domain, which also showed the mystery and power of this set of exercises.
"In this life, I still choose to practice the Nine Hidden Divine Transformation Heavenly Sutra, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to obtain the second half of this set of exercises in the future. β
After making up his mind, Xu Ling didn't hesitate too much, and even began to cultivate.
The realm of martial arts cultivation is divided into the Qi Condensation Realm, the True Yuan Realm, the Void Realm, the True Dan Realm, the Tongxuan Realm, the Venerable Realm, etc., and each major realm is divided into nine small realms.
The current Xu Ling, due to the abolition of the martial arts, has almost no yuan power in his body, so he has to start from scratch.
Fortunately, what he practiced was the "Nine Hidden Divine Transformation Heavenly Sutra" and other anti-heaven exercises, and in just a few breaths, he felt that the aura of heaven and earth around him was surging towards him, and the dragon soul martial vein in his body was swallowing like a giant dragon absorbing water, devouring the aura of heaven and earth. In the end, these heaven and earth auras were all gathered within Xu Ling's sea of qi.
The first part of the "Nine Hidden Divine Transformation Heavenly Scriptures", the practitioner must open up a unique cave palace in the body, also known as the secret palace, which is used to connect a part of the meridians in the body, and can also hide the true qi, which can not only make the martial artist's true qi transport speed far better than the same level, but also has an absolute advantage in the quality of the true qi.
Of course, the opening of this secret palace is not a day's work, but fortunately, Xu Ling had cultivation experience in his previous life, and for him, opening the secret palace is only a matter of time.
As time passed, Xu Ling finally opened his eyes.
"Condensing Qi Triple Fold! I didn't expect me to break through three small realms in a row, it seems that this dragon soul martial vein is really good. Xu Ling was quite satisfied with his cultivation speed.
In just a few hours, he broke through three small realms in a row, which was absolutely unimaginable for those so-called genius martial artists in the imperial city.
However, Xu Ling also knew very well that the reason why he was able to break through so quickly was not only because of the dragon soul martial vein, but also because of the "Nine Hidden Gods Changing Heavenly Scripture".
In addition, the path of martial arts, with the improvement of the realm, the difficulty naturally increases greatly, and Xu Ling naturally does not think that it will be so easy for him to break through every time.
"Squeak!"
Just when Xu Ling was emotional, two figures came to the room.
Walking in front was a middle-aged woman, about forty years old, wearing a beige dress and a lilac cloak, which looked quite luxurious. It's just a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, which makes the woman look a little haggard.
Behind the woman, there was a young girl of about sixteen years old, dressed in snow-white clothes and wearing a small ponytail on her head, looking energetic and delicate.
"Ling'er, you're awake!" the woman walked to the edge of the bed, naturally stretched out her slender palm, and stroked Xu Ling's cheek.
After fusing his memory, Xu Ling recognized the woman in front of him at a glance, it was his mother-in-law Liu Ruqing, and the girl was his maid Xiao Xi, when he was twelve years old, the eight-year-old Xiao Xi was taken to the mansion by Liu Ruqing.
However, after all, it was the first time for the two sides to meet, and Xu Ling only nodded a little shyly.
