The General took Wangmei’s body back to the Kingdom. Wang Chong welcomed their arrival. After hearing the whole story, Wang Chong didn’t care about Xiao Tian, as he also believed that wild beasts indeed ate Xiao Tian.

“Prepare a funeral for my sister! As for Xiao Jian’s body, throw it into the soul-tracker dog kennel.”

Wang Chong was genuinely ruthless, letting his brother-in-law’s body become food for his pet dogs.

After Wangmei’s body was buried and Xiao Jian’s body was thrown into the dog kennel, they didn’t know that both bodies had transformed into a tree branch.

****

In a place far away, not in the Ming Dynasty nor Wuyu City, a middle-aged man stood with a wonderful woman on a mountain peak that reached beyond the clouds.

The man and woman bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jian and Wangmei.

The woman gazed at the vast sea of clouds spreading out before her. Even though she looked at the sea of clouds, her vision could penetrate everything in every direction. She sighed softly with a sad face.

“Husband, aren’t we being excessive, leaving our child like that?”

The man smiled faintly, though his body trembled slightly at the question.

“He’ll be fine. If he can’t survive in such a small world, he’s not worthy of being my son.”

“Husband, why didn’t we take Tian’er with us? He could grow better, especially if he received your guidance; he could surely become a great expert in this universe.”

It turned out that the man and woman talking were Xiao Jian and Wangmei. The bodies killed in the Wang Kingdom were just replacements, not their natural bodies.

“Tian’er must find his path in cultivation. The hatred in his heart will make him grow faster. If he follows me, he might increase, but it would diminish his potential. Moreover, those who become true experts have lived through various hardships. Without hardship, pain, and humiliation, one cannot ascend to the peak of glory. Only those who have endured numerous challenges can stand at the pinnacle of cultivation. Now, it’s time for us to go. I can’t leave my clan any longer, or else a great catastrophe will occur in the entire universe.”

No matter what, Wangmei was a mother, and a mother’s worry was far more significant than a father’s. However, she couldn’t oppose her husband’s decision, who held the status of the Supreme God Emperor.

Xiao Jian held his wife’s hand and then walked across the stars.

After reaching a certain height, he tore through space and disappeared.

Xiao Tian sank into the great river, unconscious.

Various ferocious beasts approached to devour him. However, when the beasts were just a few meters away from him, Xiao Tian's body suddenly shone.

The light was so intense that it blinded the approaching beasts. They seemed confused and frightened, quickly retreating from Xiao Tian.

The scene was astonishing because these beasts were known to be extremely powerful and fierce. The weakest among them were level two beasts, equivalent to third-class warriors in the human realm. The strongest were beast kings, equivalent to earth king warriors in the human realm.

The beasts fled in fear from Xiao Tian's weak body. The light emanating from the minor child's body drove away all the ferocious beasts.

How could a child make such fearsome beasts retreat? What happened to Xiao Tian's body that allowed him to emit such powerful light?

After the beasts fled, the light disappeared from Xiao Tian's body.

****

At the calm riverbank, two figures were practicing together. One was a small girl, about eight years old, with her hair tied in a ponytail, fluttering in the wind. The other was an older man, standing tall and wise, watching the girl's every move intently.

The little girl was practicing sword techniques. Although the sword she wielded was just a wooden toy, her swings were lively and unpredictable. The wind complemented her swings, creating a mesmerizing rhythm.

"Ziyan Rouxi, it's time to go home. You've been practicing from morning till near sunset, making Grandpa waste a lot of time watching you," the old man sitting on a rock grumbled at the little girl.

"Grandpa, you finally have time to watch me practice, but you're already complaining so much. It seems you don't care about me at all!" the little girl pouted. Despite her young age, she looked lovely.

Before the older man could reply, he saw a small child's body drifting in the river's current.

"Wait, Grandpa!" the girl shouted.

"Where are you going? Don't...." Before Ziyan Rouxi could finish her sentence, she saw the child's body being carried by the current, not far from a high waterfall.

The older man ran into the water, retrieving the minor child's body—Xiao Tian.

After bringing him to the riverbank, the older man still heard Xiao Tian's heartbeat.

"This child is not dead." He immediately channeled his internal energy into Xiao Tian's body.

Xiao Tian suddenly coughed, expelling a lot of water from his mouth.

After continuous internal energy transmission, Xiao Tian began to open his eyes slowly.

When he fully opened his eyes, he saw the little girl's face very close to his.

Their eyes met.

"Are you the angel of death? Why isn't your face scary?"

Slap—

Ziyan Rouxi immediately slapped Xiao Tian's face.

"Ahh.... Why did you slap me?" Xiao Tian didn't understand why the angel of death slapped him.

"What did you just say? Angel of death? Do you want me to kill you?" Ziyan Rouxi was annoyed with being called the angel of death by Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian tried to get up but felt his whole body ache as if it were shattered.

After a while, he realized an older man was channeling his internal energy to heal his injuries.

"Don't move too much! Your body has suffered severe injuries. Let me heal you first."

    Xiao Tian felt warmth as the older man continued channeling his internal energy into him.The older man frowned, astonished by Xiao Tian's healing ability. Even if he hadn't treated him, Xiao Tian would have healed alone. If he had continued drifting in the river, his body could have been torn apart by the fierce water.After some time, Xiao Tian woke up and clasped his hands."Senior, thank you for saving me."Xiao Tian didn't call the old man grandpa because he felt that was only appropriate for his relatives, so he just called him senior.Hearing Xiao Tian's thanks, the older man didn't immediately respond. He was still amazed by the child's healing ability. Moreover, he was perplexed; he couldn't discern the type of bones and specific areas in Xiao Tian's body.The older man was sure this child was not ordinary. An ordinary child would have indeed died in that great river. Not to mention the ferocious beasts; even the fierce river current and hitting the rocks should have killed h

    “Respect to the patriarch.” The gatekeepers immediately bowed in respect upon seeing Fa Wa. Fa Wa merely smiled and led Ziyan Rouxi and Xiao Tian inside. Xiao Tian arrived at Fa Wa’s residence. Fa Wa looked at Xiao Tian. “Tian, you will stay here now. However, although I have adopted you as my grandson, you will not be exempt from duties. Your task is to clean the entire courtyard and the training area. You must also take care of all the books in this house; do not let a single book gather dust! When you turn ten, I will register you as a disciple of this sect. Even though I am the patriarch, I must follow the sect’s rules. Do you understand?” Xiao Tian clasped his hands together. “Grandfather, I understand.” **** Every day, Xiao Tian diligently performed his tasks. Every morning, Xiao Tian diligently swept the courtyard, removing the scattered dry leaves. The morning sunlight reflected off the sweat on his innocent face. After that, he moved on to his next task, dusting off the

    Xiao Tian learned about the warrior realms from the books he read.The levels of warriors were measured by the number of internal energy circles they possessed.A first-class warrior: had 30 circles of internal energy.A second-class warrior: had 100 circles of internal energy.A third-class warrior: had 200 circles of internal energy.A fourth-class warrior: had 300 circles of internal energy.After that, they progressed to the realm of king warriors.King warriors were divided into earth king warriors, sky king warriors, and martial king warriors.An earth king warrior had levels from one to nine.Level 1: had 500 circles of internal energy.Level 2: had 700 circles of internal energy.Level 3: had 900 circles of internal energy.Level 4: had 1,100 circles.Level 5: had 1,300 circles.Level 6: had 1,500 circles.Level 7: had 1,700 circles.Level 8: had 1,900 circles.Level 9: had 2,100 circles.Sky king warriors also had levels from 1 to 9.Level 1: had 2,400 circles of internal ene

    “Daniel, have you been hiding your strength?” Daniel smiled slightly. “If you can hide yours, why can’t I?” “Daniel, don’t rejoice yet. I haven’t lost to you!” Lu Xuan tried to stand up, but Daniel didn’t give him the chance. He moved very quickly and stood before Lu Xuan, placing his sword at Lu Xuan’s neck. “You’ve lost!” Daniel smiled, seeing Lu Xuan’s face that could not accept this reality. “How could I lose to you? Please explain to me how you can be stronger than me? I’m not just a talented disciple, but I also come from a strong background. While you, you have no background, so how can you be stronger than me?” Daniel didn’t answer. He just smiled as usual. However, when Liu Qingyun was about to announce the winner, an old man’s voice suddenly rang out. “Fa Wa, why didn’t you tell me there was such excitement happening at your place?” Fa Wa immediately stood up, frowning. He saw an old man coming with two middle-aged men and a young man about Lu Xuan’s age. Fa Wa reco

    "Do you intend to join the fight? If you want to fight, I don't mind taking on both of you simultaneously!" Although Xiao Tian had stopped his attack, Xing Han still did not take Xiao Tian seriously. Xiao Tian shook his head. "Do you not understand my meaning? If you don't, then fine, I'll make you understand." Xiao Tian looked sharply at the Patriarch of the Boundless Valley. "Old man, I don't know where you come from. But your actions in our Sect don't reflect those of a master. If you want a fight between disciples, this isn't the way. My Supreme Sword Sect will satisfy your desire for a battle." Hearing the sharp comments from a child, Gan Feng's face turned red, anger rising in his expression. As a patriarch of the Boundless Valley, how could he tolerate the words of a child who didn't understand the martial world? But before he could unleash his fury, Fa Wa, standing beside him, spoke first. "Gan Feng, don't you feel ashamed of your childish behavior? Tian's words are true!

    After blocking Xing Han’s sword slash, Xiao Tian swiftly twisted his wrist with agility. The sword, previously used to block Xing Han’s attack, became a deadly strike aimed at Xing Han’s abdomen. Bang— “Ugh...” Xing Han was thrown several meters away. After stabilizing himself, he suddenly spat out blood from his mouth. Xing Han glared at Xiao Tian viciously while wiping his blood. “Kid, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such strength. Now, you won’t have another chance to defend yourself!” Xing Han released his true aura. Now, everyone could feel Xing Han's power. “Damn, this kid Xing Han has a massive amount of inner energy, he's nearly a fourth-class warrior. What do we do? Tian is surely going to be defeated by him!” “Don’t panic, look at Tian’s face. Even though that guy revealed his power, Tian is still very calm. It means Tian has a way to deal with him.” Many people doubted Xiao Tian, while some remained optimistic about the boy. “Kid, now it’s time to e

    Gan Feng lowered his voice. “Young Tian. This is just a spar, why are you acting so ruthlessly?” Xiao Tian smiled slightly with a cold face. “Old man, how can you call me ruthless? I want to secure my victory. Who knows, your student might still have a hidden card to face me because until now, I haven’t heard your student say the word 'surrender.'” Hearing Xiao Tian’s words, everyone had the same thought. “Patriarch Gan Feng, what Tian said is true. Xing Han hasn’t uttered the word 'surrender,' so Tian’s actions can’t be considered ruthless. He’s just securing his victory.” The elder beside Fa Wa spoke with an innocent face, making Gan Feng want to vomit blood. Gan Feng’s face turned from blue to purple. He was thoroughly humiliated there. He came to offend the Supreme Sword Sect, who knew he would get the opposite result. Xiao Tian’s foot was still on Xing Han’s chest, and now he realized how terrifying the boy was. Xing Han wanted to say 'surrender.' But just as his lips

    Nu Muyun felt horrified seeing Xiao Tian easily defeat his opponents. He glanced at his friends, who also looked worried, and said fearfully, "I never thought he was that strong. I'm afraid Tian will come after me for revenge for always insulting him."His friends exchanged worried looks, recalling the times they also bullied Xiao Tian. They tried to hide their fear, but it was evident from the cold sweat on their faces. They realized that if Xiao Tian wanted revenge, they wouldn't be able to face him.However, Xiao Tian seemed indifferent to their feelings. He walked steadily, his face calm and cold, not glancing at Nu Muyun and his friends. He went straight to sit behind Fa Wa and began regulating his breath as if nothing had happened.Ziyan Rouxi immediately grabbed Xiao Tian's hand, smiling alluringly at him. "Brother Tian, you've been hiding your strength from your sister. This is unpleasant."Xiao Tian only responded with a smile. Fa Wa didn't say anything. He stood up to announ

    After the middle-aged man left, the atmosphere at the scene became slightly calmer. However, the tension in the air was still palpable, as if this world had not finished testing them.Xiao Tian stepped forward with a cold expression, ready to face whatever awaited him. But before he could move any further, his steps halted when the sound of light footsteps echoed from behind him."If you're going to face danger, we will face it together," a calm yet resolute voice came from Qiancheng.Xiao Tian did not turn around. He remained standing tall and slowly shook his head."You should stay behind and not follow me. I can't fight while protecting someone else. So don’t push yourself. If you want to fight alongside me, there will be plenty of chances in the future. For now, don’t be reckless."His tone was flat, devoid of emotion, as if this was not a discussion but an order that had to be obeyed.Without waiting for a response, Xiao Tian stepped forward. He did not care whether his words hur

    The middle-aged man let out a bitter smile upon hearing Xia Meimei’s words, but his desperation did not extinguish his hope. His gaze remained filled with determination, as if he would do anything to save the younger generation of his clan.“I promise, if you can save them, not only will I let you take the treasures in this place, but I will also grant you a reward generous enough to satisfy you,” he said, his voice trembling, reflecting how crucial this matter was to him.From the beginning, Xiao Tian had only listened without showing much reaction. But now, he finally spoke, his tone flat yet filled with absolute confidence.“I have a way to save them,” he said calmly, but each word carried undeniable certainty. “However, it is extremely risky. If the treasure Senior offers as a reward is not valuable enough, then it is not worth the risk.”His words instantly shifted the atmosphere.The middle-aged man looked at him with deep skepticism. Since the formation had been activated, he h

    Xiao Tian led his group through the depths of the cave with steady steps. The atmosphere inside grew increasingly ominous as they ventured deeper.The stone walls surrounding them were covered in ancient carvings that emitted a faint glow, as if carrying traces of energy left behind long ago. The air became colder, yet the pressure enveloping the cave grew heavier, indicating that this was no ordinary place.However, for Xiao Tian, none of this was an obstacle. With his extraordinary Heavenly Eye, he could clearly see the hidden mechanisms along the path, deciphering them without much difficulty.Their steps came to a halt when they finally reached the cave’s end. But what lay before them was not a stone wall or a vast chamber as they had expected—it was something that completely defied logic—a hidden world deep beneath the earth.Above them stretched a dimly glowing sky, as if there was a sun shining, though its source remained unknown.The air in this place was purer than in the out

    The silhouette that had just attempted to seize Xiao Tian's body was now trapped in a prison of lightning fire. The walls shimmered with bursts of energy, roaring as if the wrath of the heavens and the flames of hell had merged into one.The silhouette, once brimming with confidence, now displayed an expression of terror. Its once-solid and powerful form began to tremble, as if slowly burning under the overwhelming energy that confined it.“No! I possess the power of a True God at the first rank! There’s no way I can’t break this cage!” it screamed in despair.It unleashed all its remaining strength, releasing a blood-red aura mixed with destructive energy. That crimson light gathered in both of its hands before erupting violently, attempting to shatter the prison of lightning fire that held it captive.BAAANG!A massive tremor shook the dantian world, yet the prison remained intact, not showing even the slightest crack. Instead, the lightning fire that formed the cage grew even more

    Huangfu Dho felt as if he were dreaming.A member of the Xiao Clan appearing in the Zuwu Realm?Impossible.The Xiao Clan was no ordinary clan. They ruled over the Divine Lightning Fire Galaxy—an existence far beyond the comprehension of this world. Their presence was more of a myth than reality. Legends of their power echoed throughout the universe, but no one had ever truly seen one of their members in a place like this.Yet, the sight before him said otherwise.The fiery lightning wings spread behind Xiao Tian, the glowing mark on his forehead, and the overwhelming aura surrounding him—all of it was undeniable proof.Even so, Huangfu Dho still tried to dismiss the thought.‘No, this is impossible… maybe it’s just a coincidence. Maybe he only has mixed blood or obtained an inherited technique from somewhere.’He wanted to convince himself that this wasn’t real.He didn’t want to believe it.But in the next second, all his hopes shattered.BZZT!Lightning crackled around Xiao Tian’s

    Huangfu Dho stared with wide eyes. A faint dark blue formation enveloped Xiao Tian’s body, rippling like an invisible curtain of energy. Its dim light flickered, resonating with the surrounding air, forming an almost imperceptible layer of protection.He clenched his teeth, his face filled with astonishment.That formation…It was undoubtedly the formation that had absorbed the devastating impact of his explosive talismans. Anyone at the center of such an explosion should have been blown to pieces or, at the very least, severely burned. Yet, Xiao Tian remained unscathed. Not only that, but his clothes were still intact, without a single stain or tear.Huangfu Dho gritted his teeth, trying to make sense of the situation.‘When did he activate this formation?’Impossible. A protective formation of that level required preparation. At the very least, one had to carve formation patterns in the air, use spirit stones, or recite an activation mantra. However, since the battle began, he had n

    Xiao Tian and Huangfu Dho opened their eyes, only to realize that the world around them had changed.The once chaotic battlefield was now replaced by an oppressive silence. The stone walls surrounding them were blackened, as if burned by time. Their surfaces were rough, filled with cracks that seemed to hold long-forgotten tales of destruction and death. There were no doors, no openings—just a sealed space trapping them in emptiness.However, they quickly forgot about the room, as something far more striking stood before them.A skeleton sat cross-legged in the center of the room.Its body had long since turned to bone, yet the tattered remains of its clothing still clung to its frame, hinting that it had once been an extraordinary figure. Even in death, the aura it emitted was terrifying. It was as if, in life, this being had transcended the limits of ordinary humans.Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes. Something in the skeleton’s hands caught his attention.In its right palm lay an ancient

    "What did you just say?"Huangfu Dho's tone was filled with shock, as if he had misheard. Did Houdo just dare to call him stupid?"Hmph... You're stupid, Huangfu Dho. Is that not clear enough?"Houdo showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he repeated his words even louder, laced with utter disdain.Huangfu Dho’s eyes glinted with anger. His face darkened."Bastard! You’re asking for death!"Behind him, his followers immediately reacted. They pointed at Houdo with flushed faces, seething with fury, ready to unleash their wrath.However, instead of backing down, Houdo only smirked wider. As if relishing the situation, he looked at Huangfu Dho with mockery."Huangfu Dho, you really are a fool," he sighed softly, as if pitying him. "You don’t even understand your own situation! But since you’re too stupid, I don’t mind spelling it out for you."Huangfu Dho frowned even deeper, but Houdo continued, his voice dripping with sharp sarcasm."You targeted Young Master Tian.

    In the Forbidden Area of the Ancient Fairy Clan, Xiao Tian was still unaware of what had happened outside. His full attention was focused on the inscriptions carved into the walls of the Eternal Lake.A faint golden light emanated from the ancient carvings, forming mysterious patterns that slowly unraveled in his mind. His usually cold face now displayed extraordinary excitement.“Tian, did you find something?” Qiancheng’s voice echoed as he approached with light steps.Xiao Tian nodded, his eyes gleaming sharply. “I found the location of the underground chamber. It is thirty thousand miles north of this lake.”Immediately, everyone’s attention was drawn to him. Xia Meimei, Houdo, and the others listened intently.Xiao Tian looked at each of them before asking, “Will you come with me?”Xia Meimei laughed freely, her voice ringing in the air. “Hahaha, of course! We won’t waste this golden opportunity.”Xiao Tian nodded, and without further delay, he said, “In that case, let’s go togeth
