Chapter 1: The Return of the Immortal Venerable

at the painting before him, Luo Chen knew it was a forgery. This old man was being incredibly careful and affectionate towards it, as if he had received an authentic masterpiece.But how could Luochin...At the peak of Mount Tai, a bolt of lightning tore through the void, shattering the platform dedicated to heaven-worshipping. The daytime thunderclap, coupled with the destruction of ancient ruins, sparked heated discussions.

A bullet train heading to Tongzhou.

A young man sat listlessly in the car. His cheekbones, sharp as a knife, looked rather pale, but they couldn't conceal the hint of ambition in his eyes, revealing an extraordinary aura.

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

The young man let out a sigh and carefully sensed his body. He discovered that the Tai Huang Jing within him was like a slumbering dragon deep in an abyss, unable to be summoned. At this moment, all his cultivation vanished completely, leaving only a faint protective aura of the Tai Huang Jing.

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

Luochin was originally just an ordinary person, but by chance, he entered the cultivation world and obtained the Taixuan Sutra, becoming the last descendant of the Taihuang lineage that shook the universe. Step by step, he cultivated until he finally achieved the position of the supreme Immortal Venerable.

Once upon a time, Lu Chen was invincible in battle, crushing all enemies across the myriad realms. He stood at the peak of ten thousand paths, dominating the world. Unfortunately, he was ambushed and killed by three celestial venerables who returned during the Third Solar Era.

"Hmph, three Great Heavenly Venerables You went so far as to summon the Unwritten Scripture and the Ten Demonic Formations to ambush me for the Taishang Jing. Alas, this Immortal Lord's life is not fated to end. I have returned in the end." Luo Chen smirked, a hint of coldness gathering in his eyes.

In his past life, although he possessed formidable combat power and his surging magical arts overwhelmed all paths, revered as a Celestial Venerable, his final realm was still too low. He ultimately met with tribulation, bloodshed at the hands of the top ten ferocious formations, and perished in a self-explosion.

But this life was different, he was reborn again, back on Earth.

"Right now, I'm laying a solid foundation and gradually cultivating the divine treasures within my body. Along the way, I'll also collect those extraordinary Divine Seeds scattered across Earth. Even the three Heavenly Venerables will only be beneath my feet."

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

"Ring ring ring..." The ringtone rang, Luo Chen took out his phone and glanced at it, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Looking at the caller, Luo Chen, who had already been above worldly affairs, couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred in his heart.

He started his spiritual journey because of the person who owns this phone.

But that was the beginning of his lifelong tragedy.

In his past life, his family wasn't a wealthy one, but his father owned a house in the county town, had a car, and even had several hundred thousand yuan in savings. They were considered a well-off family. His family also had a small renovation company, so no matter what, he lived a relatively comfortable life.

But this trip ruined everything.

Right after graduating from university, he was separated from his girlfriend Zhang Xiaoman. This time, he came to find her. For Zhang Xiaoman, Luo Chen even chose to give up the bright future in Youzhou and became a small clerk in Tongzhou.

Little did Luochen know that his departure would mark the beginning of a disaster.

He went to Tongzhou with carefully selected gifts, but was beaten into a cripple in the end. His hands were crushed and his knees were shattered, leaving him depressed for an extended period of time, even contemplating suicide.

He became a cripple who couldn't even live independently. His father spent all the family savings trying to cure him, selling their car and house until they were reduced to picking up trash for a living.

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

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

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

To his surprise, instead of dying, he fell into the world of cultivators and eventually obtained the Supreme Emperor Sutra, embarking on the path of cultivation. He rose against the heavens, achieving unparalleled legends, defeating ancient divine beings from across the land, becoming a celestial venerated by all.

Unfortunately, even as the legendary Celestial Immortal, he was unable to revive his own father. This became the most regrettable thing in 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. As for those enemies in Tongzhou, last life you ruined my family, this life, how could I not seek revenge

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. My mom and I will come to the station to pick you up."

Then the voice on the phone didn't give Luo Chen any more chances and directly hung up.

Luochin's lips curled into a sneer. In his past life, he had fallen for this woman with the fervor of madness, but after going to Tongzhou, he was looked down upon by her parents, subjected to mockery, sarcasm, and all sorts of difficulties.

This woman was also abandoned by her family and ultimately defrauded her father of over a million dollars he had given her for starting a business. She then ruthlessly left him behind and started dating 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 see an older person and a younger person sitting beside him.

At this moment, the old man eagerly opened an antique box. He took out a painting scroll from inside and was admiring it.

But after a glance, Luo Chen disdainfully withdrew his gaze.

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

Do you understand

Kidding

Luochen was once a celestial venerated in his past life. With his experience, how could he possibly not understand

And with a single glance at the painting before him, Luo Chen knew it was a forgery. This old man was being incredibly careful and affectionate towards it, as if he had received an authentic masterpiece.

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

Besides, Luo Chen also noticed that judging from their attire and bearing, this old man and young boy were likely of extremely high status, either incredibly rich or noble.

"Don't just blurt things out if you don't understand. Besides, someone like you, a country bumpkin, probably hasn't even seen a genuine antique worth millions in your entire life." As the girl said this, her chin was held high and her face was full of disdain. She came from a noble family and usually interacted with dignitaries, so she naturally looked down on ordinary people like Luo Chen.im was like a slumbering dragon deep in an abyss, unable to be summoned. At this moment, all his cultivation vanished completely, leaving only a faint protective aura of the Tai Huang Jing."It seems I...
