On the Azure Ancient Path, a young man dressed in a blue robe stood in a daze, his gaze firmly locked onto the imposing figure of a middle-aged man, Ye Xingchen.
At that moment, the boy spoke with an extraordinary calmness, "Why do you help me, senior?" He had experienced enough of the world's ups and downs to understand that nothing comes without a price.
Ye Xingchen smiled gently, a smile that seemed to encompass the vicissitudes of life: "Our fates are intertwined; there is no need for concern." With that, his gaze sharpened as he scrutinized the young man before him and continued, "I see potential in you. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
This statement struck Lu Tianming like a thunderclap. His eyes widened as he carefully examined Ye Xingchen, searching for any hint of deception in his eyes. All he found was boundless depth and sincerity.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Tianming knelt down, pressing his forehead to the ground. His voice trembled yet remained resolute as he declared, "Disciple Lu Tianming pays respects to Master!"
It turned out that this young man was Lu Tianming, the eldest son of the Lu Family in Linwu County. He possessed exceptional talent and had demonstrated extraordinary aptitude for cultivation from a young age. The Lu Family, one of the prominent clans in Linwu County, once boasted a glorious history and was protected by an Ancestor Ye of the Feng Hou Realm, which made them renowned throughout the region.
However, fate took a cruel turn. During one of Ancestor Ye's quests for breakthrough opportunities, he unexpectedly discovered a Sixth-Rank Precious Herb. Just as he was about to harvest it, he encountered disciples from the Northern Domain Royal Power who were on their own journey of experience. Demanding the herb, they sent forth a Peak Marquis-level expert who killed Ancestor Ye on the spot.
To the Wanjian Sect, the Lu Family was nothing more than an insignificant ant. They had no reason to fear such a minor clan. Meanwhile, those who held deep grudges against the Lu Family sensed an opportunity. Hearing that the Lu Family had lost their Feng Hou Realm protector, they tore off all pretense and led members of the Ku Family to attack.
Caught off guard, the Lu Family suffered heavy casualties. Only a few clan members managed to escape with Lu Tianming while many strong warriors chose to hold back their pursuers to ensure his survival. They sacrificed themselves to leave behind a trace of bloodline and hope for the Lu Family.
Now kneeling before Ye Xingchen, Lu Tianming was filled with gratitude and reverence. He understood that his escape from the Lu Family's pursuers and his chance to continue cultivating and seek revenge were all thanks to this mysterious and powerful master.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen was unaware that his new disciple would one day become the renowned Reincarnation Emperor of Tian Yuan Continent; that was a tale for another time.
Ye Xingchen was immersed in an indescribable joy when suddenly a booming voice like thunder echoed in his mind: "Congratulations, host! You have acquired a child of destiny; this is a tremendous opportunity! As a special reward, you receive the Reincarnation Scripture—a profound text that will help one comprehend the mysteries of reincarnation and significantly enhance strength! Additionally, your cultivation will directly rise by three small realms!"
As soon as these words were spoken, an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy seemed to pour down from the heavens and envelop Ye Xingchen entirely. This force was as fierce as a tempest—unstoppable! Ye Xingchen felt his meridians being cleansed by this power until they flowed freely; his cultivation soared like a rocket!
On his knees, Lu Tianming had initially been astonished by Ye Xingchen's strength but was now nearly toppled over by this sudden wave of spiritual energy crashing over him. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Ye Xingchen, filled with awe and terror.
How is this possible?! Lu Tianming murmured to himself in disbelief. He never imagined that his master's power could increase so rapidly—it was nothing short of miraculous!
