Chapter 1: The Return of the Immortal Venerable

on't understand, and besides, someone like you, a country bumpkin, probably hasn't even seen a genuine antique worth millions in your entire life." The girl spoke with her chin held high, her face ful...On the summit of Mount Tai, a bolt of lightning tore through the void, shattering the altar for offering sacrifices to heaven. The white-day thunderclap, coupled with the destruction of ancient ruins, sparked heated discussions among people for a time.

On a D-train heading to Tongzhou.

A young man sat listlessly in the car, his chiseled face looking pale, but it couldn't hide the determination and ambition in his eyes.

"Did I really get reborn Or is it just an illusion"

The young man let out a sigh, carefully sensing his body. He found that the Taihuang Classic within him was like a slumbering Azure Dragon in the abyss, unable to be summoned. At this moment, all his cultivation vanished completely, leaving only a trace of protective qi from the Taihuang Classic.

"It seems I've truly returned, back to Earth, and even to the age of twenty." The young man's name was Luo Chen, the last descendant of the Taishang lineage.

Originally, Luo Chen was just an ordinary person. However, by chance, he entered the cultivation world and obtained the Taishang Jing, becoming the last inheritor of the mighty Taishang lineage. Step by step, he cultivated, and finally achieved the position of Supreme Immortal Venerable.

Once upon a time, Luochin was invincible in battle, crushing all enemies across countless realms. He stood atop the world, reigning supreme over all paths. However, he was tragically ambushed and killed by three Celestial Venerables who returned during the Third Solar Age.

"Hmph, Three Great Heavenly Venerables You're willing to use the Book of No Words and the Ten Fiendish Formations to ambush me for the Taishang Jing. Unfortunately, this Immortal Lord was not destined to die and has returned." Luo Chen smirked, a cold glint in his eyes.

Though he possessed incredible combat power in his past life, with surging magical arts that dominated all paths and was already revered as an Immortal Emperor, his ultimate realm was still too low. He ultimately met with disaster, shedding blood within the ten great perilous formations before self-destructing.

But this life is different. He was reborn and returned to Earth again.

“Now I am going to lay a solid foundation, and then step by step refine the divine repository within my body. By the way, I will also get those earth-shattering divine seeds from all over the Earth. Then, even the three Heavenly Venerables will only be trampled under my feet.”

"Hehehe, I'm looking forward to meeting you again, Three Great Heavenly Venerables. At that time, I want to see if you still have the qualifications to rival me When I get my hands on a few treasures first, I can't wait to see the expressions on your faces!" A sneer once again crossed Luo Chen's lips.

"Ring ring ring..." The ringtone sounded, Luo Chen took out his phone and glanced at it. His brow furrowed involuntarily as he looked at the caller ID. At this moment, even though his heart was already above worldly affairs, he couldn't help but ignite a spark of hatred.

He embarked on the path of cultivation back then because of this phone's owner.

But that was the beginning of his life tragedy.

In his past life, his family wasn't exactly wealthy, but his father owned a house in the county town, had a car, and even had several hundred thousand yuan in savings. It was considered a relatively well-off family. They also had a small renovation company at home. You could say that no matter what, he lived a comfortable life.

But this trip, it ruined everything.

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

Only Luochen wouldn't have thought that his trip would be the beginning of a disaster.

He arrived in Tongzhou with carefully selected gifts, only to be beaten into a cripple. His hands were shattered, suffering from comminuted fractures, and his knee was kicked to pieces, leaving him depressed for a long time and even contemplating suicide.

He became a cripple who couldn't even take care of himself. To cure him, his father spent all their savings, sold their car and house, and eventually ended up scavenging for scraps to survive.

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

For the next two decades, he lived like a dog, ridiculed and abused, even begging for a living.

That kind of blow was too much for him, leaving Luochen disheartened. Finally, one night, Luochen arrived at the peak of Mount Tai and jumped off.

To his surprise, he not only didn't die but fell into the Cultivation Realm and ultimately obtained the Taixuan Scripture, embarking on the path of cultivation. He rose against the heavens, achieving an unparalleled legend, defeating even ancient divine beings from across the world, becoming a revered immortal who shook the land.

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

But this time is different, since he could live a second life, Luochin swore that no one would be able to harm his father. As for those enemies in Tongzhou, last time you ruined my family and left me homeless, this time, how could I not seek revenge

The phone was answered with a voice that held a hint of impatience and coldness.

"Hey, Luochin, please give me a call when you arrive, and my mom and I will come pick you up at the station."

Then the other end of the phone didn't give Lu Chen any more chances and hung up directly.

Luochen's lips curled into a sneer. 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, facing constant sarcasm and humiliation.

This woman, also due to opposition from her family, ultimately conned all of the over one million yuan that her father had given her for starting a business. She ruthlessly abandoned herself and got together with a second-generation official.

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

Luo Chen put down his phone and happened to glance at an elderly person and a young person sitting beside him.

At this moment, the elderly man excitedly opened an ancient box and took out a painting set from within. He unfurled it and was admiring it.

But Luochen glanced at it and then disdainfully withdrew his gaze.

"What kind of taste do you have Do you understand" Suddenly, a young girl next to the old man spoke up, questioning him. Because of her status, the girl had been pampered by others since she was a child, so she developed a proud personality. Seeing the disdain in Luo Chen's eyes, she immediately became angry.

Do you understand

Joking

Lo Chen's previous life was that of an immortal, with his vast experience and knowledge, how could he possibly not understand

Besides, at a glance, Luo Chen could tell that the painting before him was a fake. This old man was actually being careful and affectionate towards it, as if he had obtained an authentic masterpiece.

But with Luochin's temperament, how could he possibly have the same understanding as this little girl

And Luochin also saw that from their clothing and demeanor, this old man and young boy were likely of extremely high status, either incredibly rich or noble.

"Don't act clueless if you don't understand, and besides, someone like you, a country bumpkin, probably hasn't even seen a genuine antique worth millions in your entire life." The girl spoke with her chin held high, her face full of disdain. She came from a noble family and usually interacted with the elite, so naturally, she looked down on ordinary people like Luo Chen.r and house, and eventually ended up scavenging for scraps to survive.Until that snowy night, when someone brought back his father's already frozen body, he wept uncontrollably.For the next two decade...
