Chapter 1 Rebirth

  "Chen Xuan, thirteen years old, why do you have the same name as me."

  Chen Xuan was slowly piecing together the fragmented memories in his mind. The memories were not very coherent, but Chen Xuan had a general idea of "Hongling Town", "Chen Family", "Tianling Continent", "Family", "Grandfather", "Father", and "Mother". Chen Xuan then connected these memories together again.

  The place where I live now is called Hongling Town, and there are three big families in the town, "Chen Family", "Li Family" and "Wu Family". And this body actually belongs to the only son of the Chen family's successor, his father is "Chen Yumu" and his mother is "Qin Yulian". As for me, I was passing by a small alley on my way back home in the town when someone hit me from behind and knocked me unconscious, and that's how I ended up like this. Could it be that the owner of this body offended someone and got revenge? Moreover, it's broad daylight, and yet they still dared to commit a crime, it must be a premeditated conspiracy.

  ……

  Ten days had passed and Chen Xuan had basically adapted to this body.

  "Master, you're awake." A sixteen or seventeen year old maid pushed open the door and came in, smiling as she spoke.

  After Chen Xuan woke up, this little girl's mood also improved.

  "Ling'er, you're here."

  Chen Xuan found this maid named Ling'er from his own memory, who was his personal maid, responsible for taking care of his daily life and diet.

  "The young master should take his medicine now," said Ling'er as she picked up a bowl of medicinal soup and walked to the bedside.

  "It was very bitter, but Chen Xuan swallowed the medicine."

  "Good medicine tastes bitter."

  "Ling'er, why didn't Father and Mother come over today?" Chen Xuan asked after finishing his medicine.

  "The clan leader called them all over today, seemingly to discuss something. Since you got injured, the mistress and master have been worried every day, not having a single good night's sleep."

  Ling'er replied.

  ——————————————————

  In a grand hall, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. A majestic old man sat in the first seat, with an aura of authority that commanded respect without him even having to raise his voice.

  "Have you found out yet who hit my grandson?"

  The old man spoke to everyone with an angry tone.

  Seated below were seven or eight middle-aged men, all of whom were Chen family managers and the sons of the elderly, as well as some direct descendants.

  "I must report to the master of the house, I think this matter is definitely intentional and obviously targeted at our Chen family. We must be careful and guard against it, so as not to let such a thing happen."

  A middle-aged man said.

  The one who spoke was the steward of the Chen family and also the confidant of the master of the house, Chen Badao.

  "Check! Make sure to investigate thoroughly. Whoever dares to lay a hand on the Chen family, spread the word: for the time being, let's have fewer family members go out."

  The old man finished speaking and slapped his hand heavily on the armrest of the chair, making a slapping sound. The armrest was hit by the old man into an angle, and the fragments fell to the ground.

  "Yu Mu, how is Xuan Er now?"

  The old man mentioned Xuaner and his mood improved a bit.

  "Back to father, Xuaner's current situation is basically stable, has been out of danger and will be fully recovered in two or three months."

  "All right then, you all go down, I want to be quiet for a while." The old man waved his hand and let everyone go down.

  "Master, your body hasn't fully recovered yet and can't go out. Wait until you're better before going out."

  Ling'er blocked Chen Xuan who was about to go out and said hastily.

  "It's okay, I'm almost fully recovered. Lying in bed for a month is really boring. Proper exercise is very beneficial to one's body." Chen Xuan explained patiently.

  As soon as the words fell, Chen Xuan's mother walked over.

  "Never mind, Ling'er, let him go to the courtyard and take a walk. A month is enough to make things difficult for him."

  After Chen Xuan's mother woke up, she came to accompany Chen Xuan every day, fearing that she would lose this son again. At least two months were needed to recover and move around, but she did not expect her own son to recover almost completely in just one month. Chen Xuan's mother also did not expect her own son to recover so quickly.

  "Daughter, you're here."

  "Alright, Ling'er, take him to the main hall and have a seat."

  Chen Xuan was an orphan in his previous life and didn't know what it's like to have parents. Now that he has them, he's a bit unaccustomed and doesn't know how to interact with them.

  But Chen Xuan could see that his parents really loved him, although his father didn't say much every time he came and left, Chen Xuan could see the deep paternal love in his father's eyes, not all love needs to be expressed in words, sometimes a glance can represent everything.

  Especially his own mother, his life for over a month has been taken care of by his mother alone. Every time, Chen Xuan's face turns bright red. Although he is only thirteen years old, he has the heart of an adult. After all, having lived two lifetimes, he still feels very embarrassed. However, his mother disagrees and refuses to let him have a servant girl, insisting that he serve her himself. This leaves Chen Xuan at a loss, but in the end, he just lets it go, thinking that as long as his mother is happy, everything will be alright.

  Sitting in the yard, breathing in the fresh air, feeling refreshed and invigorated. How is it that the air here is so good, without a single impurity? Chen Xuan took another deep breath, slowly exhaling.

  It's been a month now, and Chen Xuan has basically understood the information of this world. This is fundamentally not Earth, but it also has the appearance of ancient times on Earth.

  The Tianling Continent was divided into five parts, and the country where he currently lived was called Kaiyuan Country. It was a small country composed of six counties and twenty-four cities, with ten towns under each city. Hongling Town belonged to Yancheng City.

  Kaiyuan State is a marginal small country with a population of about 1 billion. There are at least eighty such small countries on the Tianling Continent.

  Chen Xuan curled his lips, "Ten billion is still a small country, in my previous life, my own country only had tens of billions of people!"

  The Tianling Continent is divided into "East Wastes", "Southern Domain", "Western Chill" and "Northern Domain" and the place where he is now is called Northern Domain. There are more than 20 small countries in the Northern Domain, which are ruled by the Four Great Heavenly Kingdoms. Countries like Kaiyuan Country are just vassal states of the Four Great Heavenly Kingdoms.

  There is no modern technology here, everyone cultivates martial arts, powerful martial artists can "turn the seas and rivers upside down" "hear ants fighting" "swallow energy and seal valleys" without eating human smoke and fire, but not everyone can cultivate, the vast majority of people are stuck in the acquired realm.

  Chen Xuan also understood the martial artist ranking system of this world. Ordinary martial artists were divided into Post-Heavenly Body Refining Realm, and Post-Heavenly Body Refining was known as Nine Grades of Body Refining, from Grade 1 to Grade 9. Only by breaking through the Ninth Grade could one achieve the Spiritual Martial Realm. Chen Xuan's grandfather, Chen Ba Tian, had broken through the Ninth Grade and reached the Spiritual Martial Realm, which was why he was able to establish a foundation in Hongling Town.

  His father was a posthumous ninth-rank official, while he himself was only a posthumous second-rank official. All of this had been extracted from Ling'er's mouth, and he didn't dare ask his father about it, fearing that the truth would be revealed.

  Xiao Ling'er also told herself that her physical quality was not good, and at the age of 13, she was only a second-rate cultivator, and it wasn't until after eating many heavenly treasures that she managed to advance to first-rate.

  Chen Xuan came back from his thoughts, "Go ahead and cross over, just pick a body that's a bit better, will you?"

  After recalling the kung fu he had practiced, "Changchun Decisive" Huang Jie intermediate level, his father also taught him a set of fist method, "Wind and Thunder Fist" is also Huang Jie intermediate level.

  Chen Xuan asked his father why they still divided into yellow levels. His father introduced himself, not only did the yellow level exist, but all martial arts and kung fu were also divided into four levels: 'Tian Di Xuan Huang'. Each level was further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. The lowest grade corresponded to a low level, the middle grade to an intermediate level, and the highest grade to a high level. Our family's best martial art is called "Hu Xiao Jue", which is of the highest yellow level. Only your grandfather practiced it as the guardian of our clan's martial arts.
