Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, Mingzhou, one of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
This was the Liu Family, a cultivation lineage. Pavilions and towers stood everywhere, countless grand halls rose around them, yet at this moment, the air was filled with killing intent.
"Hiss... What's going on? It hurts!"
Weak all over, sprawled on the ground with wounds across his body bleeding profusely, Ye Ming wore a dazed expression.
"Did I... transmigrate?"
He had come from the modern world. After work, he had lain in bed reading a novel at night. Then he closed his eyes and opened them again—and just like that, he had transmigrated...
"Hiss!"
At that moment, countless unfamiliar memories surged into his mind like a tidal wave. He was receiving the memories of this body's original owner.
As the endless memories came flooding in, Ye Ming gradually understood what kind of place this was.
This was a fantasy world. Cultivators could fly through the sky and burrow through the earth, shift mountains and fill seas. The truly powerful could shatter heaven and earth with a single thought, and decide the life and death of countless beings with another.
He had read countless novels in his previous life, but never had he expected that after one sleep, he would awaken in such a world!
By sheer coincidence, the original owner of this body was also named Ye Ming!
"Forbidden Son?"
His father, the Primordial Demonic Emperor, had attained the Dao with peerless bearing hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even throughout the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, he was considered a taboo existence—the master of a forbidden zone.
Such an existence could make heaven and earth collapse with a thought and shatter the cosmos. Every cultivator in the world had to submit before him!
"Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain's number one hopeless romantic!"
"A simp?"
As the Forbidden Son, Ye Ming had never expected that the original owner, with endless resources and the most powerful backing imaginable, would refuse to properly be a Forbidden Son and instead insist on becoming a simp.
According to the memories, although his cheap father in this life often secluded himself to cultivate, perhaps because Ye Ming was his only son, he had truly spoiled him rotten.
There had been countless cultivation resources, yet instead of using them himself, the original owner had given every last one away just to be a simp.
The woman he had simped for was named Liu Mingyu, a girl from a small family.
Unwilling to spend every day cultivating, she had come into the outside world to seek her fortune.
It was during that period that the original owner met Liu Mingyu, a girl from a small family.
However, he had concealed his true identity as the Forbidden Son. After getting to know her, the original owner had come to regard Liu Mingyu as the white moonlight in his heart.
For her sake, the original owner had taken out endless cultivation resources from the forbidden zone—Dao methods, Dao weapons, Saint medicine, spirit stones, and more, everything one could want—and gifted them all to Liu Mingyu.
He had even taken the Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine from the forbidden zone's treasure vault on this trip outside, all to win the beauty's favor.
Yet when he arrived at the Liu Family this time, what awaited him was the dagger revealed when the map was exhausted. They only wanted a Saint-grade Dao weapon in his possession.
The Liu Family crippled his cultivation and pulled out his bones. Watching the white moonlight of his heart nestle in another man's arms, he had ultimately died in despair, allowing the transmigrated Ye Ming to take over his body.
How laughable. A Dao weapon like that had never been worth mentioning in the original owner's eyes, yet it had made them reveal their true colors. As for that Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine, it was still in Ye Ming's arms.
At last, Ye Ming understood!
"Heh, what a pair of dogs!"
Ye Ming sneered. He struggled to prop himself up and looked toward the man and woman before him. From the memories, he recognized the woman as Liu Mingyu, the original owner's white moonlight.
Even with the knowledge of his previous life, this was his first time witnessing such shameless ingratitude. With his cultivation crippled, Ye Ming had no strength to resist.
"Hm? You're actually not dead?"
A woman's voice rang out. It was Liu Mingyu, the one Ye Ming had just mentioned. Dressed in white, she was as lovely as a flower, with willow-leaf brows, vivid red lips, and a curvaceous, graceful figure.
Her stunning eyes looked down upon Ye Ming, like an incomparably proud phoenix staring at a dead dog before her, her expression filled with disgust.
"The one I like is Brother Lin Tian. As for you, I really was deceiving you before!"
"So, for my sake, you should just die!"
As Liu Mingyu spoke, her delicate body pressed against the man beside her.
"Mingyu, we should still thank this piece of trash properly!"
"After all, if not for that Divine Medicine he gave you before, I wouldn't have been able to break through this time and become an inner disciple of the Ancient Dao Sect!"
The voice was full of mockery. With a remarkably handsome face, green robes, and a tall, upright figure, he was none other than the Lin Tian Liu Mingyu spoke of.
As Lin Tian spoke, lust appeared in his eyes. His hands slipped into Liu Mingyu's clothes and played with her, drawing soft, breathy moans from her.
"Don't... not here, Brother Lin Tian. I'll serve you properly tonight, all right?"
Her voice was soft, her beautiful face flushed red, but her eyes brimmed with attachment.
At this moment, Ye Ming lay prone on the ground, quietly watching this scene.
"Are you in despair? Compared to Brother Lin Tian, you're nothing but trash."
"Brother Lin Tian possesses the Canglan Sword Body, one of the Three Thousand Supreme Physiques. Now that the Golden Age is about to begin, he is bound to have the bearing of a future Great Emperor. How could you possibly compare with him?"
Liu Mingyu continued to mock him.
"Heh, Mingyu, compared to my elder brother, I'm merely ordinary!"
"Still, these years have been hard on you. You had to swindle cultivation resources from this trash so that I could surpass all my fellow disciples. If I can seize first place in this sect competition, I will surely take you as my Dao companion!"
Lin Tian laughed from the side, his hands never stopping. Liu Mingyu's eyes were like water as she gazed at him with deep affection.
"As long as it makes Brother Lin Tian happy, Mingyu is willing to do anything."
Liu Mingyu's beautiful eyes shone with strange light, her voice incomparably gentle.
"Is that so? Then tonight, let me see how you perform."
"You're awful, there are still people here."
"Heh, he's just a dead man."
Lewd voices rang endlessly beside Ye Ming's ears...
Ye Ming quietly watched the scene, unable to help grieving for the original owner.
Boom!
At that moment, several figures hurried toward this place, bringing the pair's actions to a halt.
The one leading them was Liu Mingyu's father, Liu Hongyun. Dressed in white and possessing a refined appearance, he was the Liu Family's head.
The Liu Family had originally been an insignificant force in Mingzhou. Over the years, relying on Ye Ming's support, they had risen like a fish in water throughout Mingzhou.
"My Liu Family is, in the end, a lineage of righteous cultivators. How could we possibly keep company with the Primordial Forbidden Zone?"
At this moment, Liu Hongyun swept a cold glance over Ye Ming, his voice brimming with arrogance.
"That's right! As for people from the forbidden zones, every righteous cultivator has the right to kill them!"
Someone chimed in. They were members of the Liu Family, all looking at Ye Ming with disdain. Perhaps in their eyes, compared to someone like Ye Ming from a forbidden zone, a genius like Lin Tian, who possessed a supreme Sword Body, was the true promising prospect.
Ye Ming looked helplessly at all this. They seemed to have forgotten that whenever he had come in the past, seeking cultivation resources, the Liu Family had always welcomed him with beaming smiles.
"Now that Mingyue has entered the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, from this day forth, my Liu Family must not have the slightest connection to any forbidden zone."
The Liu Family head spoke calmly. When he mentioned Liu Mingyue, his eyes were full of pride.
Liu Mingyue was Liu Mingyu's elder sister, an extraordinarily gifted genius of monstrous talent. The Liu Family head had stated the crucial reason for all this.
The Flying Immortal Sacred Land was likewise a powerful force, not the slightest bit weaker than the Ancient Dao Sect, a power that had once produced a Great Emperor. The two stood on equal footing.
"Lin Tian, you will kill this person from the forbidden zone and raise the prestige of our righteous path!"
Unlike how he treated Ye Ming, Liu Hongyun showed Lin Tian a smile. He was extremely pleased with this genius who possessed a supreme Sword Body.
His eldest daughter, Liu Mingyue, had entered the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, while his younger daughter, Liu Mingyu, was now connected to a genius from the Ancient Dao Sect. Moreover, the Liu Family happened to be within the Ancient Dao Sect's sphere of influence, so naturally they needed to curry favor with Lin Tian.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Lin Tian laughed viciously as he walked toward Ye Ming. The Dao weapon in his hand was precisely one that had once belonged to Ye Ming. At that moment, he seemed to sense something.
"Something's wrong! What is this?"
Lin Tian sensed a faint, almost imperceptible spiritual aura from Ye Ming's body. Though it was sealed by a restriction, Lin Tian possessed a supreme Sword Body and still detected it. It was only a trace, yet it far surpassed any Divine Medicine or sacred fruit!
At that moment, the surrounding void trembled and ripples spread through it. An unprecedented spiritual aura surged forth, blotting out the sky and covering the entire Liu Family.
Boom!
The radiance of immeasurable Magic Arrays rose up. Profound and intricate Dao Patterns flowed and ascended into the air. Scarlet clouds shot straight into the heavens, transforming into the phantom of a divine phoenix that illuminated the sky.
Boom!
At that instant, everyone present—Liu Mingyu, Lin Tian, Liu Hongyun, and the rest—was utterly dumbfounded. The entire Liu Family was shaking...
"Heh, an Immortal Medicine. Do you want it?"
Ye Ming lay on the ground, sneering as the Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine in his arms floated into the air!
