Chapter 1 The Immortal Lord Is Reborn
As the sun sets, the afterglow of dusk falls on Nanqiu City. The city walls are majestic, moss covers the corners of the city. People, merchants, and carriages line up in front of the city gate to enter the city. The streets in the city are well connected, with many inns, shops, and willow alleys. Children are playing in the alleys, people are hawking their crafts on the street, and there are also heroes beating gongs and drums to attract people to watch their performances. Curling smoke rises from the courtyards of each house, dimming the dusk.
Sixteen-year-old Fang Wang stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion. He was handsome in a tight white robe. He had both the handsomeness of a scholar and the spirit of a young hero. The servants guarding the gate smiled and greeted him, and he nodded in response without airs.
"The Shadowless Step is really amazing. No one can hurt me even within five steps in the future."
Fang Wang's face was filled with smiles. His internal strength reached the legendary realm of martial arts mythology, and he was proficient in the world's top swordsmanship, palm techniques, and footwork. He felt that he was invincible.
After all, he is only sixteen years old!
He has been reincarnated for sixteen years, and he has reached the peak of the human world. He can enjoy life in the future.
Fang Wang is looking forward to the future. As he walks along, the servants along the way greet him and call him the Thirteenth Young Master.
Fang Wang's grandfather Fang Meng is a founding hero of the Great Qi Dynasty and is ranked as the second-rank Duke. His father Fang Yin is Fang Meng's youngest son. Fang Wang is the thirteenth in age among the three generations of grandchildren, so he is called the Thirteenth Young Master.
In this dynasty similar to ancient times, the atmosphere in the Fang Mansion is very harmonious, and there are not so many intrigues, which may be related to Fang Meng's still in power.
With the connections and reputation of the Duke's Mansion, Fang Wang has been collecting martial arts since he was twelve years old. After practicing martial arts for four years, he can release his internal strength into Gang, and his strength is like an elephant. However, no one knows this, and they all think he is just a young master of the Fang Mansion who yearns for the rivers and lakes.
Walking into a garden, Fang Wang saw a group of maids gathered together, chatting enthusiastically. He had superhuman hearing, and he could hear clearly what they were talking about even from a distance of ten feet.
"Zhou Xue is crazy. She said everywhere today that the Fang Mansion will be destroyed."
"I heard it too. She is so brave. She visited all the young masters in the mansion. Now she is locked up in the room by her father, Si Langjun."
"Who dares to destroy our Fang Mansion? Not even the emperor of the dynasty dares!"
"Hush, don't say that."
"Si Langjun favors his adopted daughter Zhou Xue so much. I guess she will be released after a few days of confinement. But did you hear that? She claims to be reborn. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Fang Wang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word reborn.
Reborn?
If Fang Wang had no memory of his previous life, he would definitely treat it as a joke. But he himself had experienced an incredible reincarnation. He had to think, what if it was true?
Will the Fang Mansion be destroyed?
Fang Wang listened for a while, then walked towards Zhou Xue's courtyard.
When the fourth uncle Fang Zhen was young, he joined the army and almost died on the battlefield. Fortunately, Zhou Xue's father saved him. Even so, Fang Zhen was left with a lifelong disability. After leaving the army, he took the ashes of his benefactor back to his hometown. At that time, Zhou Xue's mother was already bedridden. After hearing about this, she was desperate and died that day. Fang Zhen had to take Zhou Xue, who was still in her infancy, back to the Fang Mansion and adopted her as his daughter.
Zhou Xue was a loner and rarely left her family's courtyard. Fang Wang had only seen her a few times since she was a child. He was impressed by her as a shy little girl, about the same age as him, and she looked quite delicate.
Usually, the fourth uncle was very protective of his child. Zhou Xue had never been bullied, so she should not be mentally ill. Could she really be a reborn person?
Fang Wang's heart sank. What kind of power could make the Fang Guogong Mansion exterminate the whole family?
Could it be the emperor's intention?
The Duke's Mansion is very large, occupying one-fifth of the area of Nanqiu City. It is like a city within a city. There are thousands of servants in the Duke's Mansion. Sometimes, Fang Wang can see his uncle Fang Xing training the servants to practice martial arts.
How could such a Fang Mansion be destroyed?
Fang Wang quickened his pace. He activated his internal energy, held his breath, stepped on the mysterious steps, and quietly came to Zhou Xue's window and listened carefully.
The room was silent, but with Fang Wang's hearing, he could hear Zhou Xue's breathing, which was a little rapid, and it was obvious that her mood was not calm.
After a while.
"Alas, I am an immortal after all. Now I have returned to my youth, but I can't change the fate of my family. Is God deliberately teasing me... Even if it was a month ago, it wouldn't be like this..."
Fang Wang heard Zhou Xue's sigh, which was very faint and could not be heard by ordinary people.
Immortal?
Fang Wang's heart trembled. He had been reincarnated for so long and had heard many legends of immortals and gods, but he had never heard of rebirth. The other party spoke so seriously, could it be true?
He didn't dare to gamble. After all, he was a reincarnated body, and it was not strange to meet a reincarnated person.
When he thought of the Fang family being wiped out, his heart was blocked. His parents in this life treated him very well, and so did those uncles. He liked the Fang family very much, but he didn't want to see the Fang family being wiped out.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Wang forced open the window and jumped into the house.
Zhou Xue was not scared by him, but just sat at the table and looked at him calmly.
She was dressed in green, with delicate makeup and slightly messy hair. Even so, she still looked dignified and beautiful, maintaining the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
The two looked at each other, and the room fell silent for a while.
"Your skills are not simple, but I didn't even notice it. Who are you?" Zhou Xue broke the silence and asked.
Fang Wang heard it and clenched his right hand in his sleeve secretly.
Am I so invisible in the Fang Mansion?
Well, he was indeed low-key in the first sixteen years, far less talented or arrogant than his brothers.
Fang Wang said, "You said you are a reborn person. I am willing to try to believe you. Since you are a reborn immortal, you must have immortal skills in your mind. I don't ask you to show it. You can teach me a trick at will. I have my own way to test the truth. If it is true, then I am willing to believe you and work with you to change the fate of the Fang family. After all, my surname is Fang."
In his mind, there is a heavenly palace, which he discovered when he first came into contact with internal skills. Once he began to practice internal skills and martial arts, his consciousness would enter the heavenly palace, where he could not eat or drink until he practiced these unique skills to perfection, and then he could leave the heavenly palace and return to reality.
No matter how long he stayed in the heavenly palace, reality was a matter of a moment.
This is also the reason why he was able to enter the realm of martial arts myth at the age of sixteen.
Zhou Xue frowned and stared at Fang Wang closely, but did not speak immediately.
Fang Wang was not in a hurry. He sat at the table and sat opposite her. He also poured a cup of tea for himself.
The setting sun outside the window gradually fell, the setting sun was like blood, full of sad and beautiful scenery.
"Forget it, I really can't give up Fang Mansion. Although I don't remember who you are, judging from your appearance, you should also be a disciple of Fang Mansion. You are the only one who is willing to believe me, so I will teach you the sword-controlling technique. The sword-controlling technique is the entry-level magic for immortal cultivators, and it is also the threshold between immortal cultivation and martial arts."
Zhou Xue said softly. Fang Wang nodded slightly when he heard it, and his heart couldn't help but get nervous.
He hoped that this was true, but he was also afraid that it was true.
If it was true, then there would be a disaster in Fang Mansion.
But if it was true, then the immortal cultivation and pursuit of immortality would also be true...
Who can practice martial arts if they can cultivate immortality?
Zhou Xue began to reveal the mental formula of the sword-controlling technique, and Fang Wang listened carefully.
The sword-controlling technique emphasizes the use of spiritual power to drive the flying sword. Fang Wang once heard a Jianghu knight say that a hundred years ago there was a sword master who could do this. Could it be that the other party was an immortal cultivator?
Zhou Xue said this while observing the other person's expression.
She sighed in her heart.
"What am I doing? I actually believed a young man. Looking at his appearance, he probably came here out of curiosity. However, he was able to come to the window of my boudoir quietly, which shows that his martial arts skills are not low. Anyway, no one believes it..."
Zhou Xue thought so. The reason why she did this was to vent her inner depression.
After an incense stick of time, Zhou Xue finished explaining all the essentials of the sword-controlling technique.
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Wang's mind exploded, and the whole person's consciousness instantly came to a magnificent and magnificent palace.
This is his Tiangong!
When he first came, he stood outside the Tiangong and could see the plaque with the word Tiangong. After that, he appeared directly in the Tiangong.
The space of the Heavenly Palace is vast, but after his exploration, there is only this hall. There are eighteen kinds of weapons on both sides of the hall. He can also imagine weapons and martial arts equipment, create things as he likes, and he can even change the environment in the hall, all by a thought.
"It's true... It's true..."
Fang Wang was so excited that he felt that Zhou Xue's sword-controlling technique was profound. Now he entered the Heavenly Palace, proving that the sword-controlling technique was true. Such a unique skill must be the art of cultivating immortals.
The most important thing is that even if it is the method of cultivating immortals, he can enter the Heavenly Palace!
What does this mean?
In the future, when he cultivates immortals, he will save the process of practicing skills and spells, which will be his biggest advantage!
Fang Wang couldn't help cheering and was extremely excited.
Since he was a child, he had the heart to wander around the world. He planned to travel around the world after he was eighteen years old. With his martial arts, he would have a happy life. Now that he knows the existence of cultivating immortals, his wandering heart is even stronger.
After calming down, Fang Wang thought that the Fang family would be wiped out, so he immediately began to practice sword-controlling techniques.
Practicing in the Heavenly Palace was very boring. It took him nearly twenty years to cultivate his internal strength to the Great Perfection. In addition to other martial arts, he looked sixteen years old, but he was actually seventy or eighty years old. Fortunately, the Heavenly Palace would not affect his physical lifespan.
Fang Wang was proficient in a set of first-class swordsmanship in the world and had insights into swordsmanship. It was not that difficult to understand the practice of sword control. However, the sword control technique used the spiritual power of the immortal cultivators, and he had the true qi of the martial artist in his body. It was unknown whether the true qi could control the sword.
For a full ten years, Fang Wang had practiced the sword control technique to the Great Perfection with great difficulty.
The Great Perfection was the highest realm of this unique skill, and it was not as simple as mastering it.
At the moment of achieving the Great Perfection, his consciousness returned to reality.
…
After Zhou Xue finished talking about the sword control technique, she stared at Fang Wang, wanting to see what his expression would be, but Fang Wang's expression did not change, which made her a little disappointed.
She immediately said, "Now, do you believe it or not?"
A gleam of light flashed in Fang Wang's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose, revealing the spirit of a young man on his face.
"Believe! Such a unique skill is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. From now on, I will work with you to change the fate of the Fang family!" Fang Wang said in a resounding voice. He was very excited and tried to restrain himself.
Zhou Xue was stunned and looked at Fang Wang with a strange face.
She couldn't tell whether she was relieved, moved, helpless, or amused.
The sunset outside the window was getting lower and lower, as if telling her that time was running out. She could only believe the boy in front of her, just as the boy believed in her.
