The Hao Yue Kingdom's royal capital, the first great family in the kingdom, the ancient family's manor, "Wulin Garden".

Before the morning mist had dispersed, a group of young masters from ancient families and their guards began their morning martial arts training.

The current head of the Gu family is Gu Zhanxuan. He is one of the nine Heavenly Yuan Realm martial arts masters in the Kingdom of Haoyue, and also one of the three Grand Marshals of the army of the Kingdom of Haoyue. He is titled as the Duke Protector of the Nation, holding great power and intimidating the court and the people.

Because of this, the Gu family was illustrious and powerful. In the king's city, where every inch of land was valuable, they controlled a thousand acres. Inside, courtyards stood side by side and gardens were countless. An ordinary person who entered would surely get lost and be unable to find their way out.

Bang bang bang bang~

The fist wind howled, the air trembled.

These descendants of ancient families were extremely swift and agile. Some were like ferocious tigers hunting sheep, while others were like eagles striking the sky, rabbits rising and eagles falling. They all moved with their waists unified, nimble and fierce, displaying a profound foundation.

Some ancient aristocratic youths, like Zhou Er, possessed true energy that vibrated constantly. Even when still, their opening and closing seemed like a fully drawn bow. Their fists and feet were like the wind, shattering the wooden training implements with each strike.

Threads of shadow, like blossoms in bloom, each one a sword clashing against the flow. The impact of power and true qi was enough to shake even the bravest heart.

Meanwhile, as everyone was engrossed in the mysteries of martial arts and pushing their limits, a figure, accompanied by a servant, carrying a birdcage like one strolling through a morning market, stood motionless in a corner.

This figure was rather thin and frail, with a face that was still slightly immature. His countenance was ethereal and delicate, with a thin, straight nose bridge and long eyebrows slanted towards the temples, making his eyes appear somewhat elongated and possessing a hint of mischief.

...and at this time, in the eyes of those who were practicing martial arts that he was watching, there was shock and disbelief....

......

"What are you doing? Where is this...?"

Once upon a time, Gu Daochen was a peerless genius from a prominent martial arts family in ancient China. He was deeply immersed in the traditional Chinese martial arts, meticulously studying countless martial arts manuals and scriptures. Works like "The Seventy-Two Techniques of Lin," "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms," "Nine Truths Scriptures," and "Six Meridian Sword" were all mastered by him.

Even legendary martial arts techniques like the "Xixing Dafa," "Dugu Nine Swords," and "Tianmo Ce" are said to be known by Gu Daochen.

...and it was even attempting to integrate some ancient Chinese martial arts, hoping to create even more powerful fighting techniques.

But by chance, he heard that the *Nine Truth Scriptures* of Huaxia could be cultivated together, which made Gu Daochen feel a desire to try it out.

However, while he was attempting to merge the "Nine Profound Scriptures" and the "Nine Profound Scriptures", he unfortunately went into a magical fire, died in the process, a pity for a once unparalleled genius who met his end.

What Ancient Path never expected was that he, who should have been scattered to dust and ashes, would somehow appear here...

......

"Could it be that I really crossed over?"

In the memories of ancient paths and dust, this world, vastly different from Earth, is called 'The Azure Expanse'. It belongs to a world purely of martial artists.

And his reborn portion was that of the Ninth Master, Gu Daochin, of the ancient Gu family of the Haoyue Kingdom.

The Gu family was extremely powerful in the Hao Yue Kingdom, with a large and widespread clan. They belonged to a military family.

As the top family in the Kingdom of Hao Yue, the Gu Family naturally possesses a peak level of martial prowess.

Not to mention the heads, elders, and powerful warriors of ancient clans like Gu Zhan Xuan, even among those who were contemporaries of this ninth master of the ancient clan, there were many talented individuals. Some joined the military, while others devoted themselves to cultivating martial arts. Among the younger generation, they were all renowned.

But, this reincarnation of the Ninth Master, reborn from ancient ruins... is completely incompatible with the words 'master', 'prodigy', or 'martial arts'......

The Ninth Master of this ancient family, a direct descendant of the Gu clan in the Haoyue Kingdom, is actually a complete and utter idle good-for-nothing, lazybones who enjoys squandering his life!

Born into such a family, Gu Family's Ninth Master could be considered a standard 'Prince Party' member.

And this ancient family's Ninth Master was also unrestrained in the entire Moonlit City. He enjoyed gambling, gathering a group of friends who were neither good nor bad, shouting and yelling, and doing countless unbelievable things.

What about seducing a noble heiress, throwing dog feces at the Prime Minister's residence, and beating up a Ministry of Justice official with a mob, gambling away an ancient family heirloom...

He can do anything that an ordinary person couldn't even imagine.

If he were not from the Gu family, I'm afraid that anything he had done would have been enough to get him killed several times over.

Logically, such descendants should have been punished by the old family long ago.

However, Gu Daochen's father, Gu Wuyi, was once the Generalissimo of the Hailing Kingdom, a renowned military commander who made great contributions to the kingdom's campaigns. He also achieved unparalleled feats for the Gu family, making him a truly illustrious figure.

Unfortunately, Gu Wuji was ambushed and killed in battle. A year later, Gu Daochen's mother died of illness, leaving only Gu Daochen alone.

So the current head of the Gu family, Gu Zhanxuan, has always felt very guilty towards his grandson and allowed him to run wild, which resulted in his becoming a spoiled wastrel...

......

On the martial arts training ground.

"The Refining Realm has nine levels. It is the first step for warriors on the path of martial arts, and it also lays the foundation for your future achievements in martial arts."

In the dust-filled eyes of the ancient path, a middle-aged man in a blue robe walks among the martial arts training ground, constantly guiding the martial arts of the Gu family disciples and guards.

This middle-aged man in a green robe was eight feet tall, his back straight like a sword or spear. He emanated a powerful aura, like a mountain pressing down, his presence overwhelming.

Qi Yun, also known as "Dual Lotus Palm," was a renowned expert under the command of the ancient family. His fame spread far and wide, and he was responsible for teaching the martial arts to the younger generation of the family.

"At this stage, you must temper your flesh, bones, qi, even your bone marrow and internal organs to be as strong as steel! Exhaust every ounce of your potential to the highest degree!"

With 'Dual-linked Palms' Qi Yun's voice, as loud and resonant as a great bronze bell of Zhong Lü, all the martial artists from ancient families and guards in the training ground listened intently.

Even the ancient path covered in dust at the corner stood up its ears, carefully listening.

A master of the Refining Realm, lifting a thousand jin is just ordinary. If they step onto the battlefield, a ninth-grade Refiner can easily knock down war horses and resist iron hammer chariots!

Only when you fully tap into the potential of your cultivation realm can you go higher and farther in the future.

However, reaching the Refining Realm is just the beginning. When you reach the peak of the ninth level of the Refining Realm and gather Qi, you can step into the Condensing Qi Realm.

"The power of true Qi comes from the dantian, it is a more advanced power than what we have. Only after you've reached the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm will you truly be considered a martial artist!"

"Double-Linking Palms," Qi Yun said, his eyes fixed menacingly on the figures practicing in the martial arts arena. It was as if he could see every subtle movement of those dozens of shadows, none escaping his gaze.

In this martial arts garden, there are warriors who have just stepped into the Qi Condensation realm, as well as young disciples who are still in the Refining realm. However, the Gu family's foundation is profound and unmatched, and the resources they use for these disciples and guards are also incredibly abundant. This allows the younger generation of Gu family disciples to far surpass their peers outside.

This point also made ‘Double-Linked Palm’ Qi Yun very satisfied.

However, when this scene on the training ground fell into Gu Daochen's eyes, he didn't know what to say...
