“Second Miss, please go back. Don’t make things difficult for us.”
On the streets of Qicheng, two burly men stared at Xu Qianqian and spoke coldly.
Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth and glared at them. “If you want to borrow a seed from the Divine Son, then have Xu Chun go borrow one himself! I’m not playing along!”
The two Xu Family spirit cultivators exchanged troubled looks.
The First Miss Xu had been willing to lend her bloodline.
Unfortunately, she was dead…
The Second Miss Xu had always been rebellious. She was especially disdainful of her father’s obsession with replacing bloodlines and carrying on the Xu Family’s ideology.
“Second Miss, this is the family head’s order!” the two spirit cultivators said solemnly.
Xu Qianqian sneered. “Tell Xu Chun that I’m already pregnant!”
“Whose… whose child is it?”
The two Xu Family spirit cultivators were instantly terrified, cold sweat breaking out across their foreheads.
What kind of beast had done this?
The Second Miss was only fifteen years old!
Xu Qianqian lifted her chin proudly, a smug expression appearing on her little face. “Hmph! I just won’t tell you that it’s Instructor An Yi’s child!”
An Xiang?
And an instructor, at that?
The two Xu Family spirit cultivators exchanged a glance.
Damn it!
What a beast!
How could he bring himself to do such a thing to such a young girl?
“Go back and tell Xu Chun that I already have a child. Tell him to stop indulging in his foolish fantasies! I’m not some tool for him to lend out and use to borrow a seed!”
Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth as she spoke. Anger flickered in her eyes, and her petite body trembled.
Back then, her mother had been chosen by Xu Chun and taken as a concubine because of her exceptional talent and bloodline.
Not long after giving birth to Xu Qianqian, her mother became pregnant again.
However, she had suffered complications during the second delivery and ultimately died in childbirth along with the baby.
Xu Qianqian had lost her life before she was even old enough to know what her mother looked like.
Whenever she thought of it, her hatred for Xu Chun grew even deeper.
That man had no right to call himself her father!
He had simply treated her mother as a tool for cultivating bloodlines.
And now Xu Chun wanted her to lend herself out for breeding.
Not a chance!
Unless that person was An Xiang!
“Second Miss, forgive us!”
One of the spirit cultivators spoke in a deep voice. A streak of purple lightning appeared in his hand.
The other spirit cultivator also stepped forward.
“You two!”
Xu Qianqian took two steps back, fear appearing in her beautiful eyes.
Both of these spirit cultivators were at the late Spirit Gathering Stage, and they were Xu Chun’s trusted subordinates.
She had only recently broken through from the early to the middle Spirit Gathering Stage.
If she relied on her own strength, she could probably deal with one of them. Even if she couldn’t defeat him, she would still be able to escape.
But two of them…
“Attack!”
Both spirit cultivators possessed lightning-based abilities.
Lightning coiled around their fists as they charged forward.
Xu Qianqian’s expression turned calm. Flames rose from her hands as she prepared to meet their attack.
“Leave these guys to us!”
At that moment, two figures darted over.
Xu Qianqian’s expression froze.
She stared incredulously at Gu Changfeng and Ning Er.
A trace of emotion rose in her heart.
She had never expected these two near-strangers to step forward and help her at a critical moment.
But the instant she sensed their strength, that emotion came to a halt.
One was only at the middle Qi Refining Stage?
And the other was at the early Qi Refining Stage?
What the hell kind of strength was that?
“Stop! You two aren’t their opponents!”
Unwilling to watch them get beaten senseless, Xu Qianqian hurriedly tried to stop them.
But it was already too late.
When the two Xu Family spirit cultivators saw their strength, they couldn’t help laughing.
Spirit cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage were nothing but weaklings to them—mere prey they could slaughter with ease. They did not even qualify to be called opponents.
“One each!”
Gu Changfeng drew the long sword at his waist.
Ning Er licked the corner of his mouth and grinned. “After coming to this world, I can finally have a proper fight.”
Although they were only at the Qi Refining Stage, the speed of the two men was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the two Xu Family spirit cultivators.
“What the hell? Is this the kind of speed someone at the Qi Refining Stage should have?”
The two Xu Family cultivators were stunned.
Their reactions were not slow, however, and they immediately threw their fists forward.
Clang!
The crackling lightning was easily blocked by a saber and a sword.
In an instant, the four of them clashed.
The long sword in Gu Changfeng’s hand gleamed with blue light. His movements seemed slow and unhurried, yet in the blink of an eye, the blade was already in front of his opponent.
His sword techniques were ethereal and graceful, making his movements increasingly smooth and elegant.
Ning Er, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. His attacks were broad and forceful, without the slightest trace of unnecessary flair. He swung his huge saber with roaring gusts of wind, his killing intent surging.
Neither of them used spiritual energy. They relied solely on their internal force, yet they still forced the Xu Family spirit cultivators steadily backward.
Ning Er retreated two steps and rested the huge saber on his shoulder, grinning. “These guys don’t seem to have very impressive physiques.”
Gu Changfeng shook his hand, which had gone numb from the lightning, and said solemnly, “Don’t get careless.”
The two of them were only at the Qi Refining Stage.
The reason they could fight spirit cultivators from the Xu Family was precisely because of their internal force!
Both of them had long since reached the peak of the Void Realm.
“We need to increase our strength from now on. We can’t let Boss’s potions go to waste!” Ning Er said with a grin.
At the Qi Refining Stage, one could not yet release spiritual energy outside the body. This stage was primarily focused on strengthening the physical body.
Fear had already appeared in the eyes of the two Xu Family spirit cultivators.
They were completely outmatched!
Gu Changfeng held his long sword and said slowly, “Finish them.”
“Got it!”
Internal force coiled around Ning Er’s huge saber as he leaped into the air and slashed downward!
The faces of the two Xu Family spirit cultivators turned green…
“Damn it, what kind of useless spirit cultivators are these? They can’t even take a hit!”
Ning Er smoothed down his bangs, which had been straightened by the lightning technique, and blew out a puff of white smoke. He spoke with undisguised contempt.
The two Xu Family spirit cultivators lay unconscious on the ground, knocked out cold.
“Qianqian, are you really pregnant? Which bastard did this to you?” Gu Changfeng asked mournfully, looking as though the sky had fallen.
He no longer looked anything like the elegant and graceful swordsman he had been moments ago.
When he heard that Qianqian was pregnant, it felt as if a massive screw had been driven into his tender heart by a heavy hammer, twisting it in agony.
Such a cute, delicate, beautiful girl—and she even wore twin ponytails.
How could that bastard bring himself to do it?
Xu Qianqian smiled sweetly. “Of course not. I was only lying to them. I’m only fifteen.”
Gu Changfeng said indignantly, “I heard you! His name was An Xiang, right? And he’s even an instructor? A man who’s supposed to be a teacher actually committed such a vile act! He’s utterly shameless—a despicable, filthy…”
Achoo!
At the same time, on another street in Qicheng.
An Yi rubbed his nose and looked up at the sun.
Had he caught a cold?
Impossible. He possessed an Undying Martial Body.
“Where did those kids all go?” An Yi asked Old Tao doubtfully.
Old Tao was so angry that his beard practically bristled. “How should I know? It’s class time, and not a single person from the special admissions class is here. What, do you think you’re the dean? You can cancel classes whenever you feel like it?”
An Yi wore an helpless expression. “I was just thinking we should balance work with rest.”
Old Tao glared at him again.
Qicheng was currently going through a turbulent period.
The arrival of the Purple-robed Bishop of the Divine Spirit Church had stretched his nerves taut. He was terrified that something might go wrong.
After all, the Divine Spirit Church was not an organization one could afford to offend casually.
“Boss!”
At that moment, a delighted voice rang out from behind An Yi.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
