Chapter 1: The Beginning of Enlightenment
Nearly three thousand years after the collapse of the ancient desolate world, the engulfing abyss unleashed its wrath on the entire world, destroying lives and causing heavy casualties to humanity.
Due to the gradual disintegration of Kyushu, human civilization survived in a huge mysterious predicament, born between heaven and earth, human beings who understood the yin and yang of all things, gradually comprehended the art of balance in this vast universe, and since then the lifeblood of human beings is still living on this vast continent.
After nearly a hundred years of reproduction, the Five Emperors of Tianji joined forces to save the Tianwen Continent from fire and water, but the spreading flames were still burning the largest piece of land in the world.
Since the brutal war has been far away from the Tianwen Continent for decades, people have gradually forgotten this terrible history, and the various ethnic groups and factions have gradually calmed down the fighting.
Until one day, there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky, and the rain was so heavy that it rained for dozens of months, and the wind and rain were fierce, and for a time it rolled up stormy waves, drowning countless people in the flood.
In the face of such a catastrophe, the villages, towns, and countries of the Tianwen Continent formed a strong camp to resist this great catastrophe together.
"The fire is not extinguished, but the fire of the abyss"
"The water does not stop, but it is the great wave of the flood"
Humans who have experienced the invasion of water and fire realize that they must not relax their vigilance in the slightest, and the advice left by the Five Emperors of Tianji back then will still have a catastrophe of human annihilation.
"On the occasion of looking at the ancients, the four poles are wasted, Kyushu is split, the sky is not overturned, the earth is not circumferential, people are panicked and cannot live all day, tracing back to the source is the cause and greed, and the reincarnation of cause and effect"
Hearing the omen left by the Heavenly Emperor, the descendants of the five Heavenly Emperors gradually divided into five gates within the Tianwen Continent, and each of the five gates has a unique understanding of all things in the universe, but they don't know that this differentiation is pushing the precarious human world to a deeper purgatory.
One day a hundred years later, a burst of purple smoke rose from the east, and the scorching sun after the rain rose with the bright moon and a piece of sky, competing for dazzling brilliance, illuminating the Tianwen Continent extremely brightly.
It seems to indicate that the world will usher in a sea change.
Along with this change, in order to resist possible disasters in the future, the Five Gates built the Tianwen Academy, the highest academy in the Tianwen Continent, with the strength of the whole country
The academy only admits the most outstanding disciples of the five sects each year, in order to find someone who can have the real power, comparable to the Heavenly Emperor, to stop this catastrophe from happening at the beginning.
The year 5900 of the solar calendar.
The autumn breeze and the moon, when it is late autumn, the red leaves swaying and falling in the air, in the training ground built by Tianwen Academy, gathered a lot of new students this year, the most likely to become strong children on this continent, all of them are full of spirit, and the aura in the body gathers.
The warm sun is overhead, the light in the sky shines in the Tianwen Academy, the lake is shining, accompanied by a gust of fresh wind, raising the sideburns of a young man in the field, the long golden hair on the forehead, fluttering in the air with the wind, the face is delicate, heroic, but this young man is worried at this time, and his eyes are solemn and staring at the registration office.
"In the admission record, the cultivation of the Realm Exploration is actually zero, is it true that I really have zero roots, if it continues like this, it will be difficult for me to adapt to even the most basic courses!
The young man's brows were tightly locked, his eyes revealed a sense of arrogance, and he turned around and held the report in his hand tightly, and the white paper was folded out of layers of wrinkles.
"Stinky boy, turn back!"
A commotion passed through his ears, followed by a whooshing explosion of wind after a few seconds.
"Call me?" thought the boy, and turned to look back.
Bang!!!
A metal sphere glowing with golden light diffused in the air was thrown out of the hand of a stout man a hundred meters away, and flew towards Lin Yunxi's forehead at an extremely fast speed.
With a flash of lightning, he quickly raised his arm, trying to block the sudden attack.
But the speed of the metal ball was so fast that he didn't even have enough strength to resist, and he fell on the lawn in the distance a few meters away from the sound of the sound.
The crowd around them suddenly gathered around, looking at the young man who fell to the ground in front of him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Isn't this the Realm Explorer, Mr. Lin's only son, Lin Yunxi, how did he fall like this?"
Some people in the crowd who knew him whispered, and everyone looked at the fallen young man in front of them in order to come up.
"I heard that after Lin Pochuan died in the Battle of Senhai a few years ago, this Exploration Sect has been in a slump since then, and the strongest faction in the Tianwen Continent can only be ranked third now, and there has never been a true top master in more than ten years!"
The sturdy man in the distance gradually walked over, shaking his head like a wild boar, and although he looked fat and big-eared in armor, his face was full of arrogance.
His strength is also one of the best among the newcomers present today, and the Sword Shadow Sect is now becoming more and more powerful in the Tianwen Continent, and the true kung fu of paying attention to the integration of human and martial arts is far more real than this Qi cultivation and quenching body.
"I said Lin Yunxi, look at your ability, how can you inherit your father's mantle, I think you should take the initiative to withdraw from this test!"
He picked up the reports scattered on the floor and took them in his hand and glanced at them.
"Zero? hahaha, you really haven't made any progress in the past ten years! I think you must be a zero-root mortal!"
This sturdy man's real name is Li Zeyun, he does things like swallowing dates, never thinking about the consequences, and his current peers call him the Stone-faced Buddha, relying on his family to occupy financial power in the country, and his arrogance is to the extreme.
Lin Yunxi supported the ground with his hands, slowly stood up, and patted the dirt on his clothes and pants with his hands.
Although his eyes were full of anger and his palms were hot, he remembered what his father often commanded.
"If you can endure what ordinary people can't, you can do what ordinary people can't"
He slowly relaxed the clenched fists in his hands, without a trace of face on his face, not shocked when encountered, calm and unhurried, this is the cultivation of the Frontier Exploration School since ancient times, judging from the blue and white marks of the nails in the palms of his hands, it seems that the anger that has been brewing for a long time is hidden.
Everyone glanced at Lin Yunxi at this time, but they felt shuddering, this young man's eyes were like an abyss, revealing a cold silence of death, and the ferocity in his eyes was cold, and ordinary people would retreat when they saw it.
"Brother Ze, we can't mess with this person, although Mr. Lin of the Exploration Sect is dead, he is still the most likely leader of the Exploration Sect in the future!"
Another man muttered beside Li Zeyan.
"I don't care whose son he is, not to mention that after so many years, the limelight of the Realm Exploration Sect has long passed, and now they are no longer ranked in the entire continent, so why should I continue to worry!"
"A mortal, a dead person, what are you afraid of? He can't even use the Qi Technique, how much turbulent waves he can set off?"
Li sneered and threw the report into the air.
"Whoosh!"
A white light blinked by, sending a shadow through the air.
A silver dagger slashed out from Lin Yunxi's cuffs, and in an instant, it was placed on Li Zexi's dark neck, and a spiritual power that lingered on Lin Yunxi's arm continued to rise, gradually converging into a powerful force.
"If you say one more word, I'll send you to hell to see the ghosts!"
Li Zeyun never thought that he would have such a fast speed, and he couldn't help but be frightened into a cold sweat, and beads of sweat dripped down and soaked the corners of his clothes.
Fresh blood was flowing in the veins of his neck, and with the sound of his heartbeat, the cold feeling of this dagger made Lin Zeyan unable to breathe for a while.
There were more people watching, and Lin Yunxi, who didn't want to attract attention, still caused a lot of commotion.
He realized that his action would cause a lot of trouble, and if the academy administrators saw this scene, they were afraid that they would not persuade themselves to retreat, so they hurriedly put the dagger in their hands into their cuffs and quickly turned around and left the training ground.
"Let me go, thank you!"
The surrounding audience got out of the way, and in an instant, Lin Yunxi's figure disappeared from the field.
"With such a fast speed, how can I see the Sword Shadow Sect's kung fu from him?
Cheng Ba, the training teacher in the venue, saw this scene, his expression was solemn and inherently thoughtful.
Li Zeyun's younger brothers stepped forward one after another and said, "Brother Ze, are you okay?"
"What can it be? Get out of here!"
He thought to himself, Lin Yunxi, this kid, didn't know when, he actually had such a cultivation, although the Exploration Sect was currently the weakest sect in the entire continent, but its hidden strength was really the strongest.
"No, this is clearly not the Qi cultivation technique of the Exploration Sect, it is more like the real kung fu of the Sword Shadow Sect, this stinky boy must have secretly learned the tricks of the Sword Shadow Sect!"
Li Zeyan had some doubts in his heart, if he really learned his kung fu, once this handle was stabbed to the 'Five Sects United Department', I was afraid that Lin Yunxi would be forced to withdraw from this academy.
Everyone at the venue discussed one after another, "This speed is too fast, it seems that this kid is far from being as mediocre as we thought, looking at the Emperor Qi alone to take on all the masters in the remaining four sects, the battle of Senhai was killed by only one person, and the Tianwen Continent was saved from fire and water, and his son was destined to be extraordinary!"
After completing the registration process in the morning, Lin Yunxi returned to the 'Exploration Village', which is located not far from the town.
Tanjie Village is not very large, but it has a large population, thousands of families live in this fertile land, and with the help of the demographic dividend, they still occupy a lot of influence in the city, and the village is self-sufficient and prosperous.
Lin Yunxi's house is located in the very center of this village, this house was originally the most noble and gorgeous building in the village, after the baptism of wind and frost, now it is dilapidated.
Since Lin Yunxi's father, Lin Pochuan, died in the Battle of Senhai, the entire Exploration Sect has collapsed, and the Lin family's mansion is now only taken care of by his mother and a few servants.
Pushing the door in, he didn't open his eyes to see the movement inside the door.
Lin Yunxi had already noticed something unusual.
"Boom!" A burst of palm qi broke out of the inner room of the house, and the huge force stirred the surrounding air to rotate rapidly, and the power like a rolling wave flew towards Lin Yunxi's chest.
Lin Yunxi reacted quickly, took out the dagger in his cuff, and with a "hiss" sound, it was like a dragon coming out of the water, breaking the huge waves of the jade plate.
Under the shadow of the sword and sword, this palm qi was divided into two.
The palm slammed into the earthen wall behind him, instantly smashing out two two-centimeter-thick cracks.
Lin Yunxi was shocked!
"Mom, what are you doing? You want your son's life!"
Lin Yunxi yelled at the inner room.
When several servants heard the loud noise, they also hurried out of the next room, and they choked on the rubble from the palm prints on the wall and the smoke and dust floating in the air.
A moment came out of the room, a woman walked out of the room, under the knife-like beauty, a pair of sharp willow eyes, her lips were slightly open as if she was confiding in her inner displeasure, half of her hair had turned white, but her skin was ruddy.
This woman is Lin Yunxi's mother, and now the number two person in the Exploration Sect, Aunt Hong.
"I think you're going to kill me today!"
The woman's words shook the sky, and the decibel sound was so high that it made Lin Yunxi's scalp tingle.
"You all go in and work!"
"Yes," the servant hurried back into the house and closed the doors and windows.
Lin Yunxi knew that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head and hurriedly walked to the side room, trying to leave the place where this was wrong.
"Where are you going?" roared the woman.
"I'll go to the back room to stay, and I'll train and cultivate in the afternoon, so I won't talk nonsense with you!"
Lin Yunxi was just about to slip away, but was dragged back by his mother.
He followed his mother to the incense hall in the inner room, and the dim candlelight and cold yin qi in the room made him unconsciously shake his legs.
"Get on your knees!"
The mother glared angrily and scolded her son for kneeling on the mat in front of her.
This incense hall is the ancestral hall of the ancestors of the Lin family, and there are photos of many people on the wall in front of it, including Lin Yunxi's father.
The fewer the candles, the brighter they were, and the twenty carved long lamps in the house were also lit by Aunt Hong.
Lin Yunxi knew that this was the process again, so he shook his hand helplessly, bent his knees and knelt on the prayer mat woven of green silk.
"What's the matter?" asked Lin Yunxi.
"Today at the academy, I heard that you are in trouble again, how many times have I told you, you have to endure trouble!" his mother also squatted next to him, nagging repeatedly.
"It's hard to get into Wen Academy this day, how much did it take me to send you in!"
Lin Yunxi didn't dare to resist his mother's words, so he nodded honestly to show that he understood.
"And if your actions today are not well controlled, I don't think you want to stay in the academy, and even the Five Sects United Department will come to me for trouble!"
Mother's words were even more intense, after all, many students had witnessed this situation, although most people would not find anything, but they were afraid that in case, this Sword Shadow Sect's kung fu could not be used before entering the school, and he taught his son in every possible way, but he just didn't have a long memory.
"Am I going to be bullied for the rest of my life? I still have to ask your elders for the opinion of fighting back, then I'm afraid it won't be long before your son will be beaten to death like your husband!"
Lin Yunxi explained, saying all the displeasure in his heart over the years, since he was a child, because he couldn't master this Qi cultivation skill, he was ridiculed by the village, and because he didn't have a father, these guys who were originally powerful turned against him, and it was common to be beaten.
"Shut up!"
Syllable... With a bang, Aunt Hong raised her hand and slapped Lin Yunxi's left cheek.
The originally fair skin was instantly congested and discolored, and Lin Yunxi felt tingling on his face.
"You hit me?" Lin Yunxi didn't dare to imagine the scene in front of him.
Aunt Hong withdrew her hand and scolded angrily, "If you dare to say such a thing in front of your father's portrait today, I will dare to beat you, you yourself kneel here well, and you will not go out until the moon rises!"
