Shura Dan Shen Kong Shen· Chapter 1 Rebirth Year In the summer of 6753 in the Xuanwu Calendar, at Qingyun City in the northwest of the Tiangang Empire, the Lei Huo Jianzong sect was precisely when the outer disciples were learning. The lesson was fiery, the training hall stiflingly hot, but almost all of the outer disciples listened attentively. After all, the one lecturing was Leihu Jianzong's most exceptional senior sister. In the back corner, a teenage boy with short hair slept soundly. "Where am I?" Suddenly, the young man with short hair woke up from his dream. He looked around in bewilderment. "Haha!" The impertinent student laughed aloud. In front of the classroom, Xiao Junwan frowned unhappily and said, "Junior Brother Qin, was Senior Sister's voice too loud that it disturbed your sleep?" "Haha!" The laughter in the classroom grew louder. Qin did not respond. He looked at Xiao Junwan, his eyes filled with astonishment. "Well, are you still scared, Senior Sister?" Xiao Junwan glared. "No, Sister. How could I be scared of you when you're so beautiful?" Qin replied with a sentence, and suddenly the people around him were like they had seen a ghost. When did Qin become so bold, daring to tease Sister Xiao Junwan? Xiao Junwan hummed softly and continued her lesson. "Xiao Junwan is actually still alive, this is the Lei Huo Jianzong!" "Could it be that I've actually succeeded?" Qin's heart was beating twice as fast as usual, his heart filled with excitement. "I, the Devil-Slayer God of War, struck the Holy Bell and instead of dying, I returned to my youthful years!" …… Tian Dao Demon God Qin, a waste material in his youth, had a bleak early life. But in the year he turned thirty, he had a great encounter, obtaining the Swallowing Heaven Emperor Tree as his martial spirit. From then on, he embarked on an extraordinary path. Fifty emperors, seventy for the emperor, at one hundred years old, had already become immortals and entered the vast world of stars. In the vast world of stars, it also shines brightly. A celestial demon blade, slaying countless geniuses from all races, in just a thousand years, has already reached the realm of a half-step star master. To be the master of the stars is too difficult. Qin Dao's heart has gaps, and there are too many demons. At this time, the Relics of Saint Bell appeared. Countless strong individuals fought for it, and in the end, ten top-tier powerhouses jointly obtained the qualification to use the Relics of Saint Bell. However, after truly understanding the Revenant Bell, the remaining nine top-tier powerhouses all abandoned its use. Even if the stars themselves were in command, striking the sacred bell of return, it would require burning most of one's soul and spirit, and even then, the success rate is less than one percent! At that time, Qin was not yet the ruler of the stars. To use the Returning Saint Bell, he needed to burn all his remaining soul essence. Just when the other bigwigs thought Qin would give up, Qin surprised them by going all out, burning his soul completely and taking a desperate gamble. "The Heavenly Demon Blade had no response, and even my Holy Battle Armor, which was sufficient to withstand the attacks of a Star Master, was ineffective." It seems I have truly returned, and I am no longer in a dream. Qin's eyes were filled with joy. Although the immortal sacred body is gone, and the lineage surpassing even the Divine Dragons has ceased to exist, along with its boundless magical power and thousands upon thousands of divine abilities, so what? In my past life, I left behind too many regrets and lost many things, which led to a powerful heart demon in the future. "Although I've become an ordinary person now, the fact that my parents are still alive and Xiyu hasn't died gives me a chance to make amends for everything!" "In this lifetime, what I want to protect will certainly not be lost; what I want to destroy will certainly not survive!" Qin's eyes were filled with unwavering confidence. …… "My dear Grandpa, Tang Bingyue, you probably wouldn't expect me to be reborn, would you!" Qin mumbled to himself, his family background was actually extraordinary. His grandfather, Xie Zhen, was the prime minister of the Heavenly Tang Empire, a country with a population exceeding one billion. Tang Bingyue, the princess of the empire, was betrothed to Qin since childhood. However, after Qin's father, Qin Hai, disappeared and Qin's mother's cultivation level plummeted, becoming an ordinary person, Tang Bingyue broke off the engagement. Xie Zhen publicly announced that he severed ties with Qin's mother and even sent them to Qingyun City, thousands of miles away from the capital! Qin's mother, Xie Yan, was also a wealthy young lady. After losing her cultivation, she faced difficulties in making money. However, as a mother, she was resolute and managed to raise Qin Yiyi, who was only eight years old at the time. "My dear grandfather, in order to please the royal family, you even cruelly severed ties with your own flesh and blood, ignoring them for many years." "Do you know, my mother has secretly shed many tears?" "Tang Bingyue, I don't blame you for breaking off the engagement. You are from a noble family and it's normal that you wouldn't want to marry someone like me. But you should never have sent someone to poison my mother, causing her excruciating pain until she died. "You were only seven years old back then, I didn't believe it at first, but the facts checked out. At such a young age, you have such a wicked heart!" A cold glint flashed in Qin's eyes. "Xie Zhen, back then when our family was cast out of the Imperial City during a harsh winter, I had to recover my strength. This year, when winter comes, I will return to the Imperial City with my mother in triumph." "By then, the Xie family's gate will be just right to dismantle for warmth!" Qin's heart remained restless, even after a thousand years. Many things still brought him simmering hatred. With such hatred in his heart, Qin Yizhi was fortunate to be steadfast. His martial soul, the Heaven Swallowing Emperor Tree, was powerful, otherwise how could he possibly reach the realm of a Half-Step Starry Sky Sovereign? …… "Qin, can you answer this question? What's most important for a martial artist, and how do these aspects influence each other?" Qian had not slept yet. At the front of the classroom, Xiao Junwan asked a question. After all, it was about one's heart. Even if it was too late, Qin could learn a little more. "Alive." Qin Qi said faintly. "Haha!" Suddenly, the classroom was filled with laughter again. Xiao Junwan glared angrily. Qin smiled and said, "Just kidding, senior sister, don't be angry. The most important thing for a martial artist is naturally the martial soul, meridians, comprehension of bones, and divine storage." "Pulse affects the soul, and a powerful pulse allows for good development of understanding bones. The stronger the understanding of bones, the higher the comprehension." "The martial spirit is connected to the soul, comprehensively influencing a person's pulse, comprehension of bones, and divine storage; the most important thing is the martial spirit. In a person's life, there are only three opportunities to change their martial spirit." A person's inner world is their own, and it's difficult to see into another person's heart. Xiao Junwan frowned and said, "The rest is fine. Where did you see the rumored hidden treasure? As far as I know, our Heavenly Tang Empire doesn't have such a saying." Near Qin, a mischievous spirit chuckled and said, "Sister, he must have seen it in a storybook, right? Qin probably said that to make us admire him. Haha, Qin, I admire you so much!" Qin glanced at that year, his eyes flashed coldly. That year Chen Feng's family was well-off, it was he who killed Xiao Junwan. For three years, Qin Wuyi stayed at the Lei Huo Sword Sect. The only person who made him excited was Xiao Junwan. Xiao Junwan was incredibly beautiful, and more importantly, she had a kind heart. When Qin entered the Leihuo Jianzong, he was at the Qi Gathering first layer. Now, he is still at the Qi Gathering first layer. During this time, he endured a lot of ridicule, but Xiao Junwan never looked down on him. For the first two and a half years, Xiao Junwan put a lot of effort into helping him improve. Unfortunately, Qin has never made any progress. Xiao Junwan hasn't really bothered with Qin lately, these past six months. After all, the Outer Sect Grand Examination is coming up soon, and taking care of the Outer Sect disciples is a big responsibility. "Qin, with that look of yours, you want a one-on-one? Come on then, I'll give you one hand, haha!" Chen Feng laughed wildly. Qin gathered his Qi to one layer, but Chen Feng had already gathered his Qi to four layers! When Qi is gathered in one layer, a punch can exert 100 kilograms of force; when Qi is gathered in four layers, the force of a punch can reach 400 kilograms! "Qin, please sit down." Xiao Junwan sighed. Qin nodded lightly and sat down. He didn't need to explain much; things like the Shencang, in the Tian Tang Empire, were known to fewer than a hundred people. Those who truly understand the Divine Repository could be counted on one hand. "Damn it!" Chen Feng glanced at Qin dismissively. His voice was low, but enough for Qin to hear. A cold flash appeared in Qin Zhong's eyes. He remembered that after the outer sect exam ended, Chen Feng had persuaded Xiao Junwan not to drink. In the end, Chen Feng sent Xiao Junwan home in his carriage. The next day, Xiao Junwan was found dead in her own home, having committed suicide and leaving blood all over the floor. Though no one suspected Chen Feng, the Chen family was powerful, so nothing came of it. Qin only learned the truth a long time later. "Chen Feng, Chen Feng, back then no one could stop you from doing evil. Now that I've been reborn, your good days are over." Qin's heart was filled with cold laughter. Since he had returned, Chen Feng naturally had to die, and Xiao Junwan could live a good life then. Qin Mu looked back at Xiao Junwan, and after a while, his eyes flashed with something unusual. "Xiao Junwan's pulse is delicate, her comprehension of martial arts is only average, and her martial spirit is also just average, but she possesses such a divine hidden talent. Interesting." Qin thought to himself, if Xiao Junwan's divine storage was activated, she would be one of the top experts in the Tian Tang Empire in the future. |
