Chapter 1 Rebirth

  A conversation with my father made me realize that this world is cruel and lawless. If you are strong enough, you can destroy someone's entire family and no one will dare to say anything. But if you're not powerful enough, you'll just be at the mercy of others. This is the cruel rule of the Tianling Continent.

  Chen Xuan deeply felt the pain of being powerless, "Power, I must quickly increase my power."

  Chen Xuan is silently screaming.

  "For the time being, neither of these two families dare to lay a hand on us. They still have some reservations about your grandfather, after all, he is in the mid-stage of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Although they are also in the Spiritual Martial Realm, there's a huge difference between the early and middle stages - it's like heaven and earth. However, this doesn't rule out the possibility that these two families might go berserk."

  "It's a good thing that this batch of youngsters is much better than our generation. The conditions for cultivation are also good, with spirit stones and medicinal pills available."

  "What is Father Ling Stone?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "Cultivation requires absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but it's relatively slow. Spirit stones contain a large amount of spiritual energy and can be directly absorbed, which is faster than cultivating. Dan medicine is also important, with first-grade dan medicine like Huayuan Dan being equivalent to three days of cultivation. However, dan medicine is too expensive, and each month, only one pellet is allocated to each disciple in the family. As for spirit stones, each person can get ten pieces per month."

  Chen Xuan's father patiently and slowly explained to Chen Xuan, because in the past Chen Xuan was not fond of speaking, but after Chen Xuan crossed over, his temperament had undergone a drastic change.

  "Your family has also produced some talented disciples, such as Chen Lihao from the Chen family, who reached Post-Heaven Seventh Grade at the age of 18 and is likely to break through to the Spiritual Martial Realm. And then there's your second uncle's son, Chen Yujian, who isn't bad either, having already reached Post-Heaven Sixth Grade at the age of 14. It's extremely difficult to advance one level higher each time."

  "But the Chen family has a genius, Wu Tianming of the Wu family, who is also 17 years old and a post-heavenly seventh-grade cultivator. There's also Li Yuanlang of the Li family, who is also 17 years old and a post-heavenly seventh-grade cultivator. These are all pretty good talented disciples."

  Chen Xuan's father introduced him to the situation of each family and clan.

  After dinner, Chen Xuan returned to his room. He thought to himself that he was indeed a waste, only reaching the second rank at the age of thirteen.

  Cultivation, cross-legged sitting properly, this is Chen Xuan's first cultivation since coming to this world.

  "Intention sinks into the elixir field" "Embracing and guarding the original unity" Chen Xuan initiated the Long Spring Decision, and suddenly a thin stream of green energy flowed out from his brow and into his body.

  "What is this thing."

  Chen Xuan gathered his strength, and his spirit followed the fine energy to continuously detect what its source was.

  The divine consciousness arrived at the place of outflow with a fine green energy, and all that could be seen was a vast expanse of hazy green sky.

  "Where is this?"

  "You've finally arrived!"

  Suddenly, an old voice came from the sky.

  "Who are you!"

  Chen Xuan immediately became vigilant.

  "This is where again!" Chen Xuan exclaimed in shock.

  "You don't have to be afraid, I'm the one who brought you into this world." The old voice replied.

  Chen Xuan immediately got angry when he heard this.

  "Who the hell are you to bring me here? I was living a good life, did you get my consent? You just came and possessed the body of a young man who's about to die!" Chen Xuan cursed loudly.

  The old man was taken aback by these words.

  "How dare you speak to me like this, I am the mighty Demon Lord!" The old man had a strong urge to kill.

  Chen Xuan finally vented and calmed down.

  "Who are you? Where is this place? And where are you?" Chen Xuan asked three questions as soon as he came up.

  "Little kid, you're the first person who dares to talk to me like that. Do you believe I'll skin and flay you right now?"

  "You come on, if you have the guts, then come over here, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, hurry up and answer my questions." Chen Xuan said furiously.

  "You're a bold one, I'm not like you, my surname is Li, you can also call me Old Li. If you move forward, you'll see me. This place is actually your Soul Sea, or the depths of your soul."

  After listening to the old man finish speaking, Chen Xuan walked forward. After a cup of tea had passed, Chen Xuan saw a large stone and a faint shadow of a person.

  "This piece of stone is just like the one I bought, how did it get bigger?" Chen Xuan looked at the stone in front of him with a puzzled expression.

  "Don't bother looking, this is the one you bought."

  "Old man, was it you who brought me here?"

  "You stinky brat, you call your elders 'old head'? Call me Old Lei!"

  If he had a body, Lao Li would have been so angry that he would have stomped his feet. This kid was too arrogant and looked down on him, who used to be a powerful figure.

  "Yes, it was I who brought you from that place. This stone is a Soul Stone, and I have been stored within the Soul Stone. Only the Soul Stone can prevent my soul from perishing."

  "So many people didn't come, why did you choose me." Chen Xuan asked after calming down.

  Lao Li chuckled and said with embarrassment.

  "It just so happened that I regained my senses towards the outside world that day, and the stone was in your hands again, so I brought you over."

  "So how did you end up on Earth."

  "This is a long story, let me tell you from the beginning. Back then, I was the Demon Lord of the first generation, dominating the world..."

  "Come on, come on! Get to the point already, I don't want to hear about all that history!"

  Lui's old anger really wanted to go up and slap the little brat in the face, but at this time he was a soul body, and his spirit was still very fragile.

  "I offended many people back then, and was eventually surrounded by over a dozen peers of the same level, unable to escape. I had no choice but to self-destruct, forcibly opening up a path in space. Luckily, I had unintentionally obtained a Soul Stone back then, which allowed me to hide my divine soul within it and escape through space. However, my soul was also damaged, causing me to lose all sense of the outside world until your arrival restored my senses. That's why I brought you back."

  Chen Xuan listened to Lao Li's account and roughly understood the situation. He didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

  "You say this is a piece of Soul Stone, what is Soul Stone?"

  "The Soul Stone is formed by absorbing the souls of tens of millions, and I also obtained it unintentionally back then. This thing is too rare, and it's hard to find a second one on the entire continent." Lao Li replied to Chen Xuan's question.

  "Don't worry, kid. Since I've brought you here, I'll definitely make you an unparalleled strongman. Just like back then..."

  "Alright, alright, how did it come to you again? Those things are in the past, I don't want to know. If you have the ability, then turn me into a strong person now." Lao Li was so angry that his eyes were bulging out.

  "Do you think cultivation is that easy? Just because I said I'd help you, doesn't mean I'll directly increase your strength. The key still lies with yourself!"

  "How can you help me? I urgently need a boost now!" Chen Xuan said hastily.

  "I can't help you!" Lao Li said with a strange smile.

  Chen Xuan almost cursed out loud.

  "You're fooling me!" Chen Xuan was furious.

  "I can't help you, but he can."

  Lao pointed at the Soul Stone, and seeing Chen Xuan's stifled expression, he felt a little more comfortable in his heart. Who let you be so disrespectful to me?

  "Although the Soul Stone can help you, it still depends on yourself, you need to be prepared to suffer."

  "As long as I can increase my strength, I can endure any hardship!"

  "Don't talk big, kid. Wait till you can keep it up before speaking out. Let me tell you in advance, that's not something an ordinary person can endure."

  "I'll arrange a training plan for you, go prepare according to what I said"

  "So how am I supposed to communicate with you in the future!"

  "Divine sense, as long as you communicate with the soul stone, you can communicate with me!"

  This was a sleepless night, Chen Xuan kept appearing in the conversation with the strange Lao Li who emerged from his soul.
