On the summit of Mount Tai, a bolt of lightning ripped through the void, shattering the platform for offering sacrifices. The sudden white-day thunderclap also destroyed ancient ruins, causing a stir among people immediately.

A bullet train to Tongzhou.

A young man sat in the car, lost in thought. His face, sharp as a blade, looked pale, but couldn't hide a hint of ambition that radiated an extraordinary aura.

"Have I truly been reborn? Or is this just an illusion?"

The young man sighed, sensing carefully within himself. He discovered that the Taixuan Jing was like a slumbering Azure Dragon at the bottom of a deep abyss, unable to be called forth. At this moment, all his cultivation vanished completely, leaving only a wisp of protective Qi from the Taixuan Jing.

"It seems I've really come back. I'm back on Earth, and it's the year I was twenty." The young man's name was Luo Chen, the last descendant of the Taihuang lineage.

Originally, Luo Chen was just an ordinary person. However, by chance, he entered the cultivation world and obtained the Taixuan Jing, becoming the last inheritor of the Taihuang lineage that shook the world. Step by step, he cultivated and finally achieved the position of supreme immortal.

Once upon a time, Luo Chen was invincible in battle, sweeping across all realms and crushing all enemies. He stood tall atop the heavens, unrivaled. Alas, he was ambushed and killed by three Heavenly Venerables who returned during the Third Solar Era.

"Hmph, three Great Celestial Venerables? You went so far as to summon the Wordless Heavenly Scripture and the Ten Demonic Formations to ambush me for the Taiping Classic. Alas, this Immortal Sovereign's life is not meant to end. I am back in the end." Lo Chen smirked, a sliver of coldness gathering in his eyes.

His past self, though his strength was earth-shattering and his surging spells covered the heavens, had already been revered as an immortal. However, his ultimate realm was still too low, and he ultimately fell victim to tribulation, spilling blood within the top ten perilous formations and perishing in a self-explosion.

But this time was different, he was reborn again and returned to Earth.

"Right now, I need to lay a solid foundation and step by step cultivate the divine seeds within me. By the way, I'll also get my hands on those earth-shattering divine seeds scattered across the globe. Even the three Heavenly Venerables will only end up beneath my feet."

"Hehehe, I'm looking forward to meeting you all again, Three Great Celestial Venerables. At that time, I want to see if you still have the qualifications to be my equal? When I get ahead and take a few treasures, I can't wait to see the wonderful expressions on your faces!" Luo Chen's lips once again curved into a sneer.

"Ring ring ring..." The ringtone sounded, Luo Chen took out his phone and glanced at it. His brows furrowed involuntarily. Looking at the caller ID, Luo Chen's originally detached heart couldn't help but ignite a sliver of hatred.

He walked the path of cultivation because of the person who owned this phone.

But that was the beginning of his life's tragedy.

In his past life, his family wasn't a wealthy tycoon, but his father owned a house in the county town, a car, and even tens of thousands of yuan in savings. It was considered a well-off family. His family also had a small decoration company. In any case, he could be considered to have lived a relatively affluent life.

But this trip, it ruined everything.

Shortly after graduating from university, he was separated from his girlfriend, Zhang Xiaoman. This time, he went to find her. For Zhang Xiaoman, Luochin even chose to give up his promising future in Youzhou and became a small clerk in Tongzhou.

However, Luochen wouldn't have expected that his trip would mark the beginning of a disaster.

He arrived in Tongzhou with carefully chosen gifts, but was beaten and left disabled. His hands were shattered, his knees broken, leaving him depressed for a long time, even considering suicide.

He became a cripple who couldn't even take care of himself. His father spent all their savings trying to cure him, selling everything they owned—cars, houses—and eventually ended up scavenging for trash just to survive.

Until that snowy night, someone brought back his already cold father's body, and he wept uncontrollably.

For the next twenty years, he lived like a dog, being ridiculed and abused, even begging for a living.

That kind of blow was too much for him, it left Luo Chen disheartened. Finally, one night, Luo Chen came to the peak of Mount Tai and jumped off.

To his surprise, he not only survived but fell into the world of cultivation. In the end, he obtained the Taixu Sutra and embarked on the path of cultivation, rising against the heavens and achieving an unparalleled legend. He defeated all ancient divine beings in the world, becoming a celestial venerated by all.

Unfortunately, even as the unparalleled Celestial Immortal, he couldn't revive his own father. This became the most regrettable thing in his legendary life, and also the reason why he was unable to break through the final layer for so long.

But this time was different. Since he could live another life, Luochen swore that no one would be able to harm his father. As for those enemies in Tongzhou, you all ruined my family last time, this life, how could I not avenge this?

The phone connected, and a voice on the other end crackled with impatience and coldness.

"Hey Luochin, please call me in advance when you arrive, and I'll pick you up at the station with my mom."

Then the other end of the phone didn't give Luochin any more chance and hung up directly.

Luo Chen then smirked, in his past life he had loved this woman like a madman, but after going to Tongzhou, he was looked down upon by the other party's parents, with all kinds of ridicule and humiliation, and all sorts of difficulties.

This woman was also abandoned by her family in the end, and after deceiving her father's hundreds of thousands of dollars for starting a business, she left him behind mercilessly and got together with an official's son.

But this life, Luo Chen couldn't help but sneer again, we can play slowly.

Luo Chen put down his phone and just happened to notice an old man and a young boy sitting beside him.

At this moment, the old man opened an ancient box with eager anticipation. He took out a painting scroll from inside and spread it open, admiring it.

But Luo Chen glanced at it, then disdainfully withdrew his gaze.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Do you understand?" Suddenly, a girl beside the old man spoke up, questioning. Because of her status, the girl had been pampered by others since she was young, so she developed a proud personality. Seeing Luo Chen's disdainful gaze, she immediately got angry.

Do you understand?

Just kidding?

Luochin's previous life was that of a fairy lord, with his experience and knowledge, how could he possibly not understand?

And at the sight of this painting, Luo Chen merely glanced at it once and knew it was a fake. This old man was actually treating it with such care and affection, as if he had obtained an authentic masterpiece.

But how could Lu Chen's disposition be the same as this little girl's?

Moreover, Luo Chen could also tell that from their attire, the old and young pair were most likely of extremely high status, either incredibly wealthy or noble.

“Don't talk if you don't understand, that's right. You country bumpkin, facing millions of antique treasures, you probably haven't seen them in your entire life.” The girl said this with her chin held high and a disdainful look on her face. She came from a noble family and usually interacted with dignitaries, so she naturally looked down on ordinary people like Luo Chen.
