1. The Disaster of Death That Became a Blessing

"It’s impossible that I will die, right?" Yuan Bei tightly clenched his jaw, his face showing signs of fear as he fled from the pursuit of a fierce beast.

Seeing the tiger’s steps getting closer, Yuan Bei, unable to do anything, chose to enter an ancient cave in front of him. But to his surprise, the tiger continued to follow him.

"I can't... There’s no way out," his body trembled as the sharp fangs of the tiger came into view before his eyes.

"Mom... Dad, Yuan Bei is truly unfilial, a worthless child like me has such a terrible fate... Please forgive me." Closing his eyes in resignation, the tiger leapt toward him.

BAM!

But strangely, Yuan Bei only felt his body being pushed and then crashing into something hard. When he opened his eyes again, his vision blurred, and black and golden smoke billowed from an ancient stone that had accidentally shattered upon striking Yuan Bei’s body.

The tiger, wanting to toy with its prey, shook its body. As it prepared to pounce, an explosion of energy spread, followed by the destruction of the tiger's body.

BOOM!

The event happened so quickly, but Yuan Bei didn't realize it. Instead, he felt a pain unlike anything he had ever felt before.

"Ahhh!"

His blood seemed to be boiling, and the sound of bones cracking within his body rang in his ears. This intense pain continued for some time.

"W-what is happening to me? This pain..." Rolling on the ground, Yuan Bei didn’t understand what was happening to his body.

However, inside his body, his meridians—those once considered defective—suddenly began to connect. Yuan Bei didn’t realize it at all, and the pain had left him helpless, lying on the ground.

Five hours later.

He regained consciousness, as though nothing had happened, and tried to rise. He felt lighter than ever before and could sense the natural Qi energy enveloping his body.

"Warm and gentle." This expression was something Yuan Bei didn’t realize as he had now understood the basics of Qi energy.

Swuuuuuuung!

However, another surprising event occurred. The pain in his body had ceased, but now it transferred to his head.

"Akkkh!" He screamed inside the ancient cave.

The pain suddenly began to subside. Strangely, in his mind, he received vast knowledge about the Cultivator world. From combat techniques, alchemist knowledge, to even the fundamental stages of cultivation.

"Where is this knowledge coming from?"

He received no clear answer, until suddenly, the roar of a tiger echoed through the cave.

Groooooooarh!

"Damn..."

Hearing the sound of the tiger’s steps approaching deeper into the cave, Yuan Bei's expression grew worse. Soon, a tiger appeared clearly before his eyes.

"Is my fate truly this bad?!" Yuan Bei shouted, which made the tiger leap and swipe its claws at him.

BOOM!

But when Yuan Bei closed his eyes again, a golden-red fireball shot out from his body. The fireball instantly destroyed the tiger’s body with a single sweep.

"Why is my fate so miserable! I ended up with a master who doesn’t understand anything about the Cultivator world! Even unable to face a beast!" A young girl's voice echoed in the cave.

Startled, Yuan Bei opened his eyes. He looked around for the source of the voice, but saw no one, except for a black and golden fireball floating in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?"

Yuan Bei, who was already terrified, began to sweat coldly.

"Tchh! Tchhh! Damn it, I really met someone like you... Now how am I supposed to show you the true nature of this fire..." The fireball spoke dismissively.

"What do you mean?"

"You should be proud. Not only did you get me as a destined partner, but you also possess the knowledge of the Dragon Emperor from the past! But seeing your stupidity, I’m truly disappointed!"

Yuan Bei paused, processing the words, and then suddenly, a memory flashed in his mind. This memory was none other than the tragic event that led him to become a useless person who couldn’t cultivate.

"My parents sacrificed themselves so that I could live well... If that event hadn’t happened, I would’ve become a Cultivator like everyone else! Do you know how hard I’ve tried to recover my damaged meridians? But until now..." Frustrated by being belittled, Yuan Bei responded with many curses at the fireball.

"Didn't I just reconnect your meridians?"

"Really?"

"Just check for yourself, but you don’t know anything... Use the knowledge left by the Dragon Emperor to guide yourself!" The fireball replied, clearly irritated.

Yuan Bei tried to follow the strange fireball’s instructions. He fell silent, contemplating how to examine his meridian condition inside his body.

"Why? You've figured it out, but you still can't use it? Never mind, anyway, there are plenty of wild beasts in this forest that could kill you... So I’ll just wait for a powerful person who can properly use the Heart of the Dragon Flame."

Swuuuuush!

The fire known as the Heart of the Dragon suddenly entered Yuan Bei’s body on its own. Although startled, this made him snap out of his daze.

"My meridians have really healed..."

Realizing that when a Cultivator could feel the energy of Qi, it meant they could cultivate. A look of happiness appeared on Yuan Bei's face. His hope for revenge surged as he recalled how his parents had been killed before his eyes.

    "With the abilities left behind by others... I will surely rise and find out who killed my parents in the past..." Yuan Bei said with a firm vow. Suddenly, the Heart of the Dragon Flame spirit within his body muttered curses in its mind."Hahaha! With just you? Do whatever you want, I can only remind you that there are some wild beasts in this forest. But that’s not the problem, it's the Demon Beasts, from level one to three. I'm sleepy, and I’m going to sleep for a long time. I hope, when I wake up, I won't see you anymore."Hearing the mocking words directed at him, Yuan Bei began to study the techniques he could cultivate, using the knowledge left by the Dragon Emperor. Although he often heard insults like "stupid" and "can't cultivate," Yuan Bei was actually very intelligent. With his understanding, he started learning the basic knowledge about Qi energy."Soft and warm, that’s the nature of Qi energy!"Having sensed the Qi energy, Yuan Bei tried to absorb the Qi within the ancien

Weren’t you the one who wanted me to master the techniques left by others?!"Receiving no response from the Fire Spirit, Yuan Bei regained his focus to face the black-horned tiger before him. His flexible movements, perfectly timed strikes, and seamless tempo were mesmerizing, but the tiger did not feel admiration—it felt fear, knowing the flaming sword could pierce its body at any moment.Sriiing!The tiger’s claws clashed with the flaming sword, producing a sharp, piercing sound. Yuan Bei spun his body, rolling forward, and slashed at the tiger’s leap with precision.Slaaaash!Groaaaarh!The tiger roared in shock as its front legs were severed from its body. Its footing faltered, and it collapsed, letting out weak growls toward Yuan Bei.Slaaaaash!"Click, click, click! Your way of killing the tiger is quite brutal..." The Fire Spirit remarked to Yuan

The Moon Palace was an incredibly mysterious place, known only to a select few."But your abilities are still too weak right now. I can't reveal its location yet... When the time comes, I will personally take you to the Moon Palace."Yuan Bei nodded in understanding and continued his journey. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the gates of Shang City just as the sky turned dark.Quickly entering the city, Yuan Bei headed straight for a tower known as the Tower of Information. Suddenly, a servant stopped him."Sir, is there something I can assist you with?""Could I request some minor information?"The servant nodded. "It depends on the complexity of the information you require, but naturally, we charge an appropriate price for our services."Yuan Bei clenched his fists tightly. H

Clearly, he wasn’t going to tolerate words that pierced his pride.“Worthless? I’ve merely been delayed in restoring the damage to my meridians… Senior, discard that word—worthless…” Yuan Bei’s eyes turned sharp and piercing.“You are worthless... If you are truly a genius, then learn one of my secret techniques. If, within a year, you fail to master it, I will be gravely disappointed. Why has heaven’s fate tied my legacy to someone as pathetic as you?”“Legacy?” Yuan Bei raised an eyebrow.“Hahahaha! What else were you expecting? To fight me? A single breath from me would kill you!”“Fine. Let’s begin with the technique you’re offering. I, Yuan Bei, refuse to accept the label of ‘worthless,’” Yuan Bei’s voice grew cold and resolute.The Ghost King smirked

Instantly, the eagle beneath Yuan Bei began to rebel, throwing all the cultivators, including Yuan Bei, off its back and plummeting toward the ground.Baaaam! Baaaaam!Struggling to steady himself, Yuan Bei noticed more than thirty practitioners at the Five-Star Foundation Establishment stage emerging from behind massive trees, led by a cultivator at the Two-Star Core Formation stage."Why can’t I see the cultivation stage of their leader?" Yuan Bei communicated with Cai Lin through his mind."The greater the gap in cultivation stages, the harder it is to perceive. The man you’re referring to has reached the Core Formation stage... Though it’s the early stage, it’s enough to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you. Be careful…"Yuan Bei nodded, his gaze locking ont

    Yuan Bei hesitated for a moment, then without delay, approached the middle-aged man in front of him who was watching him intently. He had already put his clothes back on."Young man, what is your name?"Feeling wary since he didn’t recognize the middle-aged man standing before him, Yuan Bei stayed on guard. The man then began to introduce himself."I am Bai Chen, an elder of the Spirit Sword Sect... Now that I’ve introduced myself, how about you reveal your identity?""A Spirit Sword Sect elder?" Yuan Bei thought to himself, pretending to lower his guard. Realizing he couldn’t discern the man’s cultivation level, Yuan Bei quickly showed his respect."Senior... I’m merely a wandering traveler seeking fortune in this place... I’ll take my leave now.""A mere wandering traveler? You possess the Dragon Seal and unique blood that not everyone has. How could you call yourself a mere traveler? Young man, your lies are still too shallow. Do you think you can hide your identity from me?" The m

    A Week LaterYuan Bei's hunt came to a halt due to the dwindling population of demonic beasts in the outer region of the Forbidden Forest. “Perhaps it’s not good to be too greedy,” he thought to himself as he decided to leave behind the remaining second- and third-tier demonic beasts.His target had shifted—he no longer sought pearls from these beasts because he now needed stronger ones to advance his cultivation. Using the Thousand Phantom Steps technique, Yuan Bei ventured into the inner region. Stopping in his tracks, he sensed a strong fluctuation of energy emanating from a fierce battle nearby.“A fifth-tier demonic beast? Fascinating. To create such a powerful Qi fluctuation, its strength must be on par with the Soul Core stage,” he muttered.Slowly and silently, Yuan Bei advanced toward the source of the Qi fluctuation, employing his Thousand Phantom Steps. Upon arriving, he hid behind a massive tree trunk, his eyes widening as he beheld two Blood-Eyed Tigers locked in an inte

    BOOOOOOOM!Meanwhile, witnessing the unexpected unfold, Cai Lin, in her fiery form, forcefully entered Yuan Bei’s meridian sea. Her gaze locked onto Yuan Bei's spirit body, struggling to resist the newborn Dragon Soul's domination.“Bei, I will fulfill my duty... Before I awaken, you must know your limits!”Groaaaaarh!Transforming into a fire dragon, Cai Lin disrupted the forced fusion attempted by the newborn Dragon Soul.Amid the darkness engulfing Yuan Bei, flashes of his past began to surface. He remembered the tragic deaths of his parents at the hands of a mysterious figure in the Cenayang village. Along with that, vivid memories of the massacre caused by the same figure before his death returned to his mind.“How could I die before avenging my parents, grandmother, and the people of CENAYANG?”Yuan Bei roared with fury, his spirit regaining control, rising above the turbulent meridian sea still under the influence of the Dragon Soul.“Bei, it’s good you’ve come to your senses.
