Chapter 7: The Four Great Heavenly Kingdoms

  Chapter 1 Rebirth

  "Dad!"

  "Mother!"

  "I want to go out and gain some experience for a while, my current cultivation has reached a bottleneck!" Chen Xuan came to the courtyard where his parents lived and discussed with them.

  Chen Xuan's mother rushed over and hugged Chen Xuan tightly.

  "Kid, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone. Have you thought this through? Why don't we get your family to assign a few bodyguards for you?"

  "Mother, don't worry, I won't go too far this time, just in the nearby mountains, and I'll be back in a few days!" Chen Xuan comforted his mother.

  Every child in the family has to go out and temper themselves when they grow up. Chen Xuan is only two months away from turning fourteen, and on the Tianling Continent, fourteen is considered an adult. The family will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the disciples who are about to become adults.

  "Let it be, if he wants to become an eagle, he must experience wind and rain on his own. Under our protection, Xuan will never grow up!"

  For half a year, Chen Xuan's efforts have been seen by his father, who, although reluctant himself, still comforted Chen Xuan's mother.

  "Xuaner, you go out and don't worry about your father, but you must be careful yourself. Coming back alive is the most important thing. If there's anything you need, tell your grandfather before you leave. Your grandfather has been in a bad mood since you were ambushed last time, so be sure to return by the family's coming-of-age ceremony!" His father patted Chen Xuan's shoulder and said.

  "Ah! Remember, child!"

  Chen Xuan left the small courtyard where his parents lived.

  "Let the child be, he's already grown up. He needs to make his own way in life. Under the family's protection, he'll never grow up. Do you want your child to become a weakling? Under the wing of a strong person, he'll never become strong himself. And didn't Xuan say that he'd be back in just a few days?"

  "I know, but I just can't bear to part with it!"

  Chen Xuan's mother wiped away her tears and said.

  In parents' eyes, even if their children are already married and have established a career, they will always be the kids who never grew up.

  Through the layers of courtyards, Chen Xuan arrived at his grandfather's residence and came to his study.

  "Grandpa, it's me, Chen Xuan!" Chen Xuan shouted from outside the door.

  "Xuan'er, come in!"

  Grandpa's voice came from inside the house.

  Pushing open the door, Chen Xuan stepped into his grandfather's study and saw his own grandfather sitting at the desk, frowning.

  "Xuaner, you've come. What brings you to see your grandfather?" Chen Xuan's grandfather's eyebrows finally relaxed when he saw Chen Xuan.

  "Grandpa, has something else happened in our family recently?!"

  Chen Xuan could tell from his grandfather's expression that he was worried about something.

  "Alas!"

  Chen Xuan's grandfather let out a sigh.

  "Recently, the Li and Wu families have been attacking our business. Our wine house and tea house businesses are clearly not as good as before, resulting in a 20% decrease in our income compared to the previous period!"

  "Grandfather, the Wu and Li families, how can they interfere with our business? Customers come on their own, it's not something they can control!" Chen Xuan said with an indignant tone.

  "They send some people every day to make trouble in front of our wine house and tea house, so that all the guests are afraid to come back!"

  "Why don't we counterattack!" Chen Xuan replied.

  "They don't enter wine houses, but cause trouble on the streets. They are all young masters from wealthy families and a group of 14 or 15-year-old youngsters. You can't send some elderly people to deal with them, can you?"

  "Is there really no way for our Chen family?"

  "Xuan'er, you haven't told me what brings you here yet!" Chen Xuan's grandfather changed the subject.

  "Oh, that's right. My recent cultivation has reached a bottleneck. I thought of going to the nearby mountain range to kill some magical beasts and temper myself in order to break through this bottleneck!"

  "Good kid, your father has told me about all the efforts you've made over the past half year. However, when going out, be sure to pay attention to your own safety. Recently, the Wu and Li families have been attacking our Chen family's disciples. Just a while ago, several batches of our family's disciples were killed by those two families. Once you leave the family, there won't be anyone to protect you; everything will depend on yourself. Cultivation is important, but your own life is even more crucial!"

  "Grandpa, I know! I'll be careful!"

  "Before you leave, go to the accounting room to collect 500 taels of silver. If there's anything you need, buy it yourself. Here are ten Rejuvenation Pills, take them with you. If you encounter a battle and run out of true energy, taking one Rejuvenation Pill can quickly restore your true energy!"

  After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan's grandfather took out a porcelain bottle from his own arms and put it in Chen Xuan's hands.

  "Grandpa doesn't need it anymore. The family's Huayuan Dan is not abundant, you should leave it for those who need it. I still have a few more Huayuan Dan that the family distributed during this period!"

  Chen Xuan put the Huiyuan Dan back on his grandfather's desk.

  Huiyuan Dan not only assists martial artists in their cultivation, but also quickly restores their true energy. Chen Xuan had been relying on the Soul Stones to aid his recovery for some time now, and the Huiyuan Dan allocated by the family was almost unused.

  "When are you going out!"

  "Tomorrow!"

  Chen Xuan chatted with his grandfather for a while and then retreated from his study.

  Chen Xuan received 500 taels of silver in the accounting room. Originally, Chen Xuan didn't want it, but Lao Li hurriedly told him that he should prepare some wound medicine, as treatment would be needed if he got injured during battle.

  Chen Xuan arrived in the town and walked towards the only pharmacy in the town, Hui Chun Tang. This was an old-established pharmacy that was trustworthy to both young and old. Hui Chun Tang belonged to Tian Chi Country, one of the four major countries, and was a branch of Dan Xuan Gate, the first great gate of Tian Chi Country. Wherever there were people in the northern region, there would be Dan Xuan Gate's elixirs.

  "Tan Xuan Men!"

  Skilled in alchemy, with over 10,000 disciples under his gate, standing alongside the three major heavenly kingdoms' three major sects.

  "Tianxiangguo!"

  To the north of Bei Domain, Tian Xiang Country's largest sect, Tai Yi Sect, has hundreds of thousands of disciples.

  "Tianshui Country!"

  In the north, the first major faction is not a sect, but the Dugu family, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and still stands tall. The branches of the family are spread all over the northern region.

  "Long live the country!"

  To the east of the Northern Territory, Tianli Country's first major faction, Lihuofaction is also a major faction that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, with hundreds of thousands of disciples under its gate.

  Each of the heavenly kingdoms below has six subordinate countries, and Kaiyuan Country is a subordinate country of Tianchi Kingdom.

  Below the four major sects, there are also some large gate sects, which have been passed down for thousands of years and have strength that cannot be underestimated. Although they cannot be compared to the four major sects, they are also a powerful force.

  All warriors who enter the spiritual martial realm cannot interfere with the lives of ordinary people. These are what Chen Xuan has learned from his family's library and Lao Li over the past six months. His own family may still be a force to be reckoned with in Hongling Town, but on the entire continent, they are as weak as an ant. This is also why Chen Xuan urgently needs to go out and gain experience, without strength, what can he use to protect his loved ones?

  Chen Xuan also had a small secret of his own, that once he came back, he would travel all over the continent, and it wouldn't be in vain to be reborn again.
