A remote mountain village in the eastern continent of the mortal realm.

A young man named Lu Chen was staring at the broken straw mat and the mud-made earthen wall under him, and through the slender gap in the wall, he could faintly hear the cough of his grandfather in the next room who had not recovered from his illness for a long time.

Thinking of the bitterness and fatigue that his grandfather had paid to raise him over the years, Lu Chen's astringent eyes flashed with tears.

He slowly closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to get up early tomorrow, and he would not be able to go into the mountains to hunt with those Orion uncles in the village.

Lu Chen's memory of his parents is very vague, he only remembers that when he was very young, when he went into the mountains to hunt, his father's Orion team unfortunately encountered a large group of wild wolves and died in the belly of the beast.

Since then, Xiao Lu Chen has relied on his grandfather, and his grandfather is not in good health, so the burden of supporting the family fell on Lu Chen very early.

Fortunately, the uncles and elders in the village also took better care of Lu Chen's grandfather and grandson, and often took Lu Chen to hunt in the mountains together.

Therefore, don't look at Lu Chen's appearance is very delicate, but his body is full of strength.

Because he has been supporting himself with his hands since he was a child, Lu Chen's mind is far more precocious than his peers.

Since he was a child, Lu Chen has dreamed of one day being able to walk out of this remote village and see the wonderful world in his grandfather's mouth.

But he never dared to mention this idea to others. Otherwise, he will definitely be teased by the villagers, and a milky little child will have thoughts that adults dare not think.

You must know that other children as old as Lu Chen will only play around the village, not to mention the bold idea of going out.

Lu Chen has just turned fourteen years old this year, and the life of his grandfather and grandson is very poor, and they have been hovering on the food and clothing line, and the beasts that Lu Chen has beaten have been replaced with oil and rice and medicine for his grandfather, so the family can't eat a few meals with meat all year round.

Since he was sensible, Lu Chen has always had this idea in his mind: every time he goes up the mountain, he must remember to help his grandfather pick up more red berries and make his favorite fruit wine, and hope to kill a few more wolves this winter, so that he can make more leather clothes for his grandfather.

It backfired, before the end of the year, but my grandfather's body was deteriorating, and it became very difficult to even speak, on this day, the old man suddenly felt better, and it was obvious that he was returning to the light, so he called Lu Chen to the bedside and explained what happened behind him.

"Chen'er, mortals in the earthly world will have birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the cycle of heaven, don't be sad. ”

"Grandpa, I can't bear you!" Lu Chen said with a choked voice holding back the tears in his eyes.

"Child, what I am going to say next, you must remember it in your heart and never forget it. We weren't from this village, I moved here after I had your father.

Tens of thousands of years ago, our family used to be one of the top forces in the fairy world, and the patriarch "Mingde Xianjun" cultivated to the earth-shattering, and even got a great immortal creation, and obtained a mysterious stone bead in an ancient and powerful cave.

Later, before his old man died, he secretly ordered the clansmen to protect this pearl, saying that those who recognized the owner of this pearl had the opportunity to realize the avenue, perhaps because the opportunity had not arrived, and no one in the family could completely refine this pearl.

Once, when a descendant of a family was attending a banquet outside, he accidentally got drunk, and he was even tricked by someone with ill intentions to find out that our clan had a heavy treasure.

After the news leaked, several immortal forces began to plan to seize this stone bead, and the four forces led by Ziyang Immortal Monarch, Wuling Immortal Monarch, Hengyang Immortal Monarch, and Yuye Immortal Monarch surrounded and killed our Lu family many times openly and secretly.

The clansmen resisted, but their fists were invincible, and most of them died in battle.

The ten elders of the clan burned their golden immortal cultivation before opening a nether passage, and a few clansmen took the opportunity to escape to the spirit realm with the stone beads.

The immortal monarchs in the immortal realm who coveted the stone beads of our clan did not stop there, they sent messengers to the spirit realm to pass on an edict, ordering the number one sect in the spirit realm, Daluo Tianzong, to continue to hunt down and kill the people of our Lu family.

My Lu family hid in Tibet, living a life of panic, and was finally discovered by Da Luo Tianzong five hundred years later.

Most of the clansmen finally blew themselves up and cultivated, only to kill the masters of the Great Luo Heavenly Sect who came to chase and kill, and the last clan of the Lu family had a chance to come from the spirit realm to the mortal realm.

Our ancestor was seriously injured when he arrived in the mortal realm, and he had already exploded the spiritual weapon on his body during the fight in the spiritual realm, and his cultivation was almost invalid, and after he married a wife and had children in the mortal realm, he passed away in a short time.

Because our lineage is the last hope of the "Mingde Immortal Jun" family, this ancestor set up an ancestral precept, and the descendants of my Lu family, regardless of whether they have spiritual roots or not, are not allowed to worship the Immortal Cultivation Sect and embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

In my father's generation and I, we don't have spiritual roots, so we can't cultivate at all.

In addition to being able to only use the secret method passed down by the ancestors to put away the stone beads, I don't know what this stone bead is for, all this can only be realized by yourself!

Hey, to this day, only our grandparents are left in the whole family. ”

As he spoke, the old man touched Lu Chen's head dotingly.

"Time has passed, and the ancestral teachings of the Lu family no longer have the meaning of complying with them. The old man said with a lament.

"Child, grandpa hopes that you can live well, if you want to go to these immortal cultivation sects in the mortal world to try, grandpa also supports you. ”

"However, safety comes first, although thousands of years have passed, Grandpa has always felt that the strong people who covet our family's treasures will not die so easily, and they must still be secretly looking for the traces of our Lu family. ”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen firmly expressed his desire to become a monk to the old man:

"Grandpa, I want to go to these immortal cultivation sects to give it a try, don't worry, even if I am not accepted into the sect, I will protect myself!"

"Now that you've decided, grandpa supports you!"

The old man looked at his grandson with a kind face, he knew in his heart that Lu Chen had longed for the outside world since he was a child, and perhaps, he could really become the hope of reviving the Lu family.
