Chapter 1: The Return of the Immortal Emperor

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 I...On the summit of Mount Tai, a bolt of lightning tore through the void, shattering the altar used for offering sacrifices to heaven. The midday thunderclap, coupled with the destruction of ancient ruins, immediately sparked widespread discussion.

A high-speed train heading to Tongzhou.

A young man sat in the car, his expression lost in thought. His face, chiseled like a knife, looked pale, but it couldn't hide the gleam of ambition in his eyes, revealing an extraordinary spirit.

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

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

"It seems I've really returned, back to Earth, and even to the age of twenty." The young man named Luo Chen was 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 heir of the Taishang lineage that shook the universe. He cultivated step by step and finally achieved the position of supreme Immortal Venerable.

Once upon a time, Luochin was invincible in battle, crushing all enemies across countless worlds and standing at the peak of ten thousand paths. Sadly, he was ambushed and killed by three celestial venerables who returned during the Third Solar Era.

"Hmph, three Great Heavenly Venerables You brought out the Book of No Words and the Ten Deadly Formations to ambush me for the Taishang Jing. Unfortunately, this Immortal Venerable's life is not meant to end, so I'm back." Luo Chen smirked, a chill gathering in his eyes.

Though he was a celestial being of immense power in his past life, with spells that shook the heavens and earth, revered as an Immortal Venerable, his ultimate realm was still too low. He ultimately succumbed to calamity, spilling blood within the Ten Great Fiend Formations before self-destructing.

But this life was different. He was reborn and back on Earth again.

"Right now, I'm going to lay a solid foundation and then cultivate the divine treasury within my body step by step. Along the way, I'll also get those world-shaking divine seeds from all over Earth. That way, even the three Heavenly Venerables will only be beneath my feet."

"Hmph, 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 rival me When I get my hands on a few of those 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. Luo Chen's original state of detachment couldn't help but ignite a spark of hatred.

The reason he embarked on this path of cultivation back then was related to the owner of this phone.

But that was the beginning of his lifelong tragedy.

In his past life, his family wasn't considered wealthy, but his father owned a house in the county town, had a car, and even had several hundred thousand yuan in savings. They were relatively well-off. Furthermore, their family ran a small decoration company. In any case, he could be said to have lived a comfortable 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 his girlfriend. For Zhang Xiaoman, Luochen even chose to give up his promising future in Youzhou and became a small clerk in Tongzhou.

Only Luo Chen wouldn't have thought that his trip this time would be the beginning of a disaster.

He came to Tongzhou with carefully chosen gifts, but was beaten into a cripple in the end. His hands were shattered with comminuted fractures, and his knee was kicked to pieces, leaving him emotionally depressed for a long time, even contemplating suicide.

He became a cripple who couldn't even take care of himself. To cure him, his father spent all the family savings, sold the car and house, and finally resorted to picking up trash for a living.

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

For the next twenty years, he lived like a dog, being laughed at and mocked, even begging for a living.

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

Unexpectedly, instead of dying, he fell into the world of cultivating immortals and eventually obtained the Taixuan Jing, embarking on the path of cultivation. He rose against the heavens, achieving an unparalleled legend, defeating even ancient divine beings in all realms, becoming a celestial venerated by one side.

Unfortunately, even as the Supreme Immortal he was unable to resurrect his father. This became the greatest regret of his legendary life, and also the reason why he couldn't break through the final layer.

But this time was different. Since he could be reborn, Luo Chen swore that no one would be able to harm his father, and those enemies in Tongzhou from the past life, you all caused my family to be destroyed, this life, how could I not seek revenge

The phone connected, and a voice laced with impatience and coldness echoed through the receiver. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

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

Then, the person on the other end of the phone didn't give Luo Chen any more opportunities and hung up directly.

Luo Chen merely curled his lips into a sneer. In his past life, he had loved this woman like a madman. However, after going to Tongzhou, he was looked down upon by the other party's parents, subjected to various sarcastic remarks and difficulties.

This woman, also due to opposition from her family, ultimately swindled 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 time around, Luo Chen couldn't help but sneer. We can play this slowly.

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

At this moment, the old man is excitedly opening an ancient box, taking out a painting from inside and unfolding it to admire.

But Luo Chen glanced at it and then dismissively withdrew his gaze.

"What kind of eyes do you have Do you understand" Suddenly, a young girl beside 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 an arrogant personality. Seeing the disdain in Luo Chen's gaze, she immediately became angry.

Do you understand

Kidding

Luochin was a celestial being in his past life. With his wisdom, how could he possibly not understand

And looking at the painting before him, Luo Chen knew at a glance that it was a fake. This old man was actually being very careful and doting on it, as if he had gotten a genuine masterpiece.

But how could Luochin's temperament compare to that of this little girl

And Luo Chen also saw that from their dress and demeanor, this old man and young man were probably of extremely high status, either rich or noble.

"Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand, besides, someone like you, a bumpkin from the countryside, probably hasn't even seen a genuine antique worth millions in your entire life." The girl said this with her chin held high, her face filled with disdain. She was of noble birth and usually dealt with aristocrats, so naturally she looked down on ordinary people like Luo Chen.is wisdom, how could he possibly not understandAnd looking at the painting before him, Luo Chen knew at a glance that it was a fake.
