In the Heavenly Spirit Continent, power is supreme. Ordinary people, through understanding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can tread the path of martial arts and possess great strength.
Even an average martial artist possesses the strength of hundreds or thousands of pounds, capable of crushing gold and shattering stone; and some more formidable martial artists, they possess the ability to reach the skies and delve into the earth, their abilities are far reach.
Between heaven and earth in this land, only the powerful have the ability to speak, to control the lives and deaths of others; while the weak serve as slaves, enduring humiliation.
...
Qing City, the mansion of the Tian Family.
The young man opened his eyes, looking at the familiar room before him, a bitter smile surfaced on his face.
"Even death won't take me, does the heavens want me to continue suffering in the world?"
The young man was Tianyu, the young master of the Tian family, once a dazzling genius.
However, destiny can sometimes be ruthless.
Two years ago, he was attacked by a villain. His meridians were shattered, leading to a great uproar...
You should know that in the path of martial arts, spiritual energy is the foundation, and it is absorbed and refined through the body's meridians.
Shattered meridians, it equates to the destruction of a martial artist's future.
For the past two years, his father, Tianhong, exhausted all means and resources in an attempt to heal his meridians. But to no avail, leading to family discontent.
Thus, the children of the Tian family began to ridicule Tianyu, showing him disdain.
Over time, he became the so-called 'trash' in the mouth of the clan, the shame of the Tian family.
What made Tianyu even more furious was that, on his way back yesterday, he encountered Tianhao, the grandson of the third elder, and a conflict ensued.
Now that Tianyu is a cripple, he was naturally no match for him and was left unconscious at the bottom of the mountain until just now.
"Hmph! That bastard, always seeking to trouble me, this time he crossed the line even more. Does he really think I am just a pushover?"
Clasping his fist tightly with an angry face, Tianyu quickly sank into despair.
After all, the other party was a well-known talent in the Tian family, with a cultivation level of the fifth tier, far surpassing his crippled self.
"There is always a way out. I don’t believe there are no miracles in this world."
Drawing a deep breath, even though his meridians were ruptured and he could not absorb any spiritual energy, Tianyu had been physically training through external forces to give himself a fighting chance.
After all, in this world, without strength, you're worse than dog shit.
At least, nobody dares to step on dog shit.
"It may be a pity, no matter how strong the physical body is, if it is not imbued with spiritual power, it's quite foolish! The strength of a common man is limited, this is the unfortunate truth." He sighed again soon after.
With a strength equal to a thousand pounds, one could barely compete with the warriors who were at the ninth-tier of body refining.
Tianyu, after years of hard cultivation, now had a load bearing strength of three hundred pounds, which was barely comparable to someone at the third tier. This was the reason for his powerless performance against Tianhao, who was at the fifth tier.
Moreover, physical cultivation with external force was not only difficult, but the later stages of training become more complex. Without decades of accumulation, it was impossible to exert a thousand pounds of force.
This might be the limit for Tianyu, but it was just the beginning for those martial artists who could cultivate spiritual energy.
After all, beyond body refining, there were stages like gathering energy, body transformation... and many more. That was the goal pursued by numerous martial artists.
Hum!
Suddenly, a subtle humming noise reached Tianyu's mind, causing him to lower his head instinctively and glance at the platinum-colored jade pendant hanging from his chest. He couldn't help but frown.
“Huh! That sound again, it seems to occur more frequently lately,” Tianyu mumbled to himself.
This jade pendant was something he found in the mountains behind his home when he was a child. On a whim, he decided to wear it as an adornment. Over time, he had grown used to it.
For many years, the pendant remained silent, until one deep night a few months ago when it unexpectedly emitted an imperceptible strange sound.
At first, Tianyu thought it was a hallucination and didn't pay much attention to it. However, a few days later, the peculiar sound resonated once again, sparking his curiosity.
Especially in the recent few days, the pendant's humming became more and more frequent. It seemed to have established a faint, indistinct connection with him.
This inexplicable connection, like a strand of consciousness, was communicating with Tianyu in a peculiar way, which left him astounded.
Could it be that this object contains life? Tianyu had pondered thusly and was promptly filled with horror.
Even though he was shocked by this paranormal phenomenon, he quickly regained his calm.
After all, his recent experiences had forged a resilient heart in him as strong as steel. Since his situation was already so, what was there to be afraid of further changes?
Also, in his subconscious mind, this jade pendant could potentially alter his destiny, so he composed himself, as always, sensing its moods intently.
Shortly, that unique consciousness tended to appear, seemingly eager for communication.
An idea flashed across Tianyu's mind, and his consciousness attached itself to the pendant, intermingling and generating a continuous humming sound.
Time flowed rapidly, and half a moment later, this response became progressively more intense, seemingly surpassing any previous encounters.
Boom!
At this moment, a deafening noise reverberated in his mind and Tianyu felt an extreme clarity throughout his body, as if he could see through all his secrets.
The next instant, the jade pendant shone brightly with a tremendous rush of energy flooding out like a tidal wave, crashing into the channels within his body.
Startled, Tianyu felt a heavy blow to his heart, he immediately spat out blood.
"This... what terrifying power?"
When that energy infiltrated his body, it surged like a wild horse that had thrown off its reins.
Tianyu felt as if his entire body was about to burst open, panting for breath. If anyone could see inside him, they would see a transformation happening all over his body.
His bones were popping and cracking, emitting a distinctive sound. Impurities began to seep out and under the violent rush of energy, turning crystal clear.
Following that, his flesh, organs, even his skin and hairs were undergoing a revolution, giving him the feeling of rebirth.
After a while, a layer of dark gray impurities clung to Tianyu's skin. These were the waste products that had accumulated in his body.
A foul smell wafted out, unbearably fishy.
Tianyu felt his body swelling hot, as if it was about to explode. Suddenly, his vision darkened and his thoughts became fuzzy.
In his subconscious, Tianyu felt dizzy with a pure energy gushing into his flesh and blood. His channels were humming and healing gradually.
At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be pulled by something, creating a vortex right above his head, pouring down like a baptism.
Boom!
Tianyu's body was violently shaking, his consciousness completely submerged. When he woke up again, several hours had already passed.
"Young Master Yu, what happened to you? Don't scare me!"
A sense of anxious voice came into Tianyu's ears in the midst of the haze. He slightly furrowed his brows, his heavy eyelids slowly lifting.
"Ahhh! Young Master, you're finally awake..."
As soon as Tianyu opened his eyes, he saw a young girl in front of him. Her head was tied in two braids, and her facial features were delicate.
Although she was not yet fully mature, her skin was as white as snow, and her body was attractive. Surely, she would grow up to be a beauty.
