Reborn Jiang Xing

Jiang Xing, eighteen years old, a One-Star Dou Zong, and the only son of a Nine-Star Dou Venerate Peak expert in the Eastern Central Plains.

Jiang Xing had another identity: he was a transmigrator. As for why he had transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent, even he did not know.

However, after all these years, Jiang Xing had long accepted this identity.

Jiang Xing's father, Jiang Heng, and grandfather, Jiang Cheng, both possessed wind affinity, so wind affinity could be considered the Jiang Clan's inherited Dou Qi attribute.

Although wind affinity lacked the wild, overwhelming attack power of fire and lightning affinities, the extreme speed and movement techniques it granted meant that, in battle, one need not fear fire- or lightning-affinity experts of the same rank.

Anyway, that was what Jiang Xing's grandfather always said whenever he bragged to him.

Originally, everyone in the Jiang family had believed Jiang Xing would be no exception and would possess wind affinity as well.

After all, Jiang Xing's father, Jiang Heng, was immensely powerful—a Nine-Star Dou Venerate Peak wind-affinity expert.

His mother, Su Qian, possessed fire-affinity Dou Qi. Though she was not weak and had reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm, she was still somewhat inferior to his father. By all logic, Jiang Xing awakening wind affinity should have been a certainty.

Yet when Jiang Xing first began cultivating Dou Qi, he discovered that while he did indeed possess wind affinity, he also had another attribute—fire affinity.

And upon examining the energies of his wind and fire affinities, it was more accurate to say that his fire affinity was mixed with wind affinity.

This thrilled Jiang Xing, as a transmigrator.

Though his grandfather often praised wind affinity to the skies, Jiang Xing, who had read Battle Through the Heavens, knew that without cultivating the Flame Mantra or consuming the Emperor Pill Embryo, he could not become a Dou God on this Dou Qi Continent, where Origin Qi no longer existed.

Now that he possessed fire affinity, he met the requirements to cultivate the Flame Mantra.

Combined with a transmigrator's foreknowledge, cultivating the Flame Mantra was undoubtedly the fastest path—and the path most likely to lead to becoming a Dou God.

As for stealing Xiao Yan's opportunities, Jiang Xing felt no psychological burden whatsoever. In a world where the strong devoured the weak, the strong had the final say.

At this point, someone might ask: What makes you think cultivating the Flame Mantra will let you break through to Dou God? What makes you think that, just because you are a transmigrator, you can definitely defeat Xiao Yan, the protagonist blessed with the halo of destiny? Your Nine-Star Dou Venerate Peak father?

Then Jiang Xing would surely gaze up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and say profoundly, "Mm, because my grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Saint!"

Someone: Ah... alright, you're amazing! No, your grandfather is amazing.

Speaking of his grandfather, Jiang Xing truly admired the old man.

His grandfather, Jiang Cheng, had no Dou God bloodline, yet he had reached—and perhaps even surpassed—the level of those who possessed one.

One had to know that even among the Dou God Clans, there were not many Six-Star Dou Saints like Jiang Cheng.

The Dou God Clans were all descendants of Dou Gods. Though an immense amount of time had passed, many clan members were still influenced by their Dou God bloodline, and their cultivation speed was astonishing.

A Dou God bloodline could be considered a cultivation cheat. Even without much cultivation, one's innate talent could allow one's strength to soar.

Even possessing merely a first-grade Dou God bloodline made breaking through from Dou Venerate to Dou Saint immeasurably easier than it was for those without a Dou God bloodline.

This was why Dou Saints in the original story were concentrated within the Dou God Clans.

Without a Dou God bloodline, even someone with decent luck and talent who reached the peak of Dou Venerate might never pass beyond those nine stars in their entire lifetime. Breaking through to Dou Saint was truly unimaginably difficult.

Thus, Jiang Xing's confidence was not without reason. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Jiang Xing did not provoke a Dou God Clan, his grandfather's Six-Star Dou Saint strength could settle practically anything for him!

In the Jiang Clan's main hall, an elderly man sat in the seat of honor, with a young man seated beside him.

That young man was Jiang Xing. With his handsome features, silver hair, and exquisite ancient-style robes, he was exceptionally striking.

The one seated in the seat of honor was his Six-Star Dou Saint grandfather, Jiang Cheng.

Looking at Jiang Xing, Jiang Cheng, who had always been stern and unsmiling, forced out a faint smile.

He reached out with his large hand and rubbed Jiang Xing's head before asking first, "Xing'er, why did you have time to visit Grandpa today? Did you miss Grandpa?"

Jiang Xing looked helplessly at his grandfather's large hand. He had emphasized to his grandfather more than once that he was no longer a child and asked whether he could stop rubbing his head.

But Jiang Cheng always choked him off with a single sentence: "No matter how old you are, you're still my grandson."

"Grandpa, I have good news to tell you," Jiang Xing said.

Jiang Cheng stopped rubbing Jiang Xing's head, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, then smiled and said,

"Oh? What good news has Xing'er so happy? Share it with Grandpa."

Grandpa Jiang had more or less guessed what his grandson's good news was, but he still wanted to play along.

Since his son Jiang Heng had gone to that place to cultivate several years ago, his grandson came to him whenever anything happened.

Jiang Cheng rather enjoyed his grandson's initiative in growing close to him.

For an old man whose strength had nearly reached the peak of this world, all he wanted was to protect his descendants and watch them grow.

Though Jiang Cheng possessed tremendous strength, he had never founded a sect.

The reason he still cultivated in hopes of making a breakthrough was mostly to extend his lifespan, so that he could spend a little more time with his descendants.

"Grandpa, I've broken through to Dou Zong."

There was a hint of pride in Jiang Xing's voice, but he truly had the right to be proud.

After all, even among the younger generation of the Dou God Clans, perhaps only people like Lei Dong and Huo Xuan could compare to him.

Without a Dou God bloodline, yet still matching the cultivation of geniuses who possessed one—this alone was enough for him to be proud of himself.

Dou Qi had not existed on Earth in his previous life, so when Jiang Xing first encountered cultivation, he was deeply captivated by the exhilarating sensation of rapidly growing stronger.

As the grandson of a Six-Star Dou Saint, Jiang Xing naturally possessed exceptional talent. Add to that his obsession with cultivation and an endless supply of heavenly treasures...

With so many conditions combined, Jiang Xing had achieved the feat of reaching Dou Zong at the age of eighteen.

Moreover, relying on the fact that he had a Six-Star Dou Saint grandfather, Jiang Xing would occasionally bring guards to various sects to "challenge their halls."

This left the sects of the Eastern Central Plains constantly complaining, and they were terrified of this little ancestor, Jiang Xing.

They did not dare refuse when Jiang Xing came to challenge them, yet the disciple they sent out could be neither too strong nor too weak.

If they sent someone too strong and accidentally injured this little ancestor, would there be any good days ahead for them?

If they sent someone too weak, this little ancestor might think they were going easy on him and looking down on him. Would there be any good days ahead for them then?

These sects all felt that their lives were truly too difficult.

Through this process, Jiang Xing accumulated abundant practical combat experience.

Though he had only just broken through to Dou Zong, Jiang Xing believed that even against a Five-Star Dou Zong, he could fight and win.

"Haha... good, very good... Xing'er, worthy of being my good grandson. With such talent, cultivate diligently in the future. Grandpa believes that Xing'er will certainly surpass Grandpa."

The opportunity is here!

Jiang Xing immediately promised, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll definitely work hard and won't disappoint you. I'll strive to become stronger and break through to Dou Saint like Grandpa in the future..."

"Hahaha... good, very good. Since you've broken through to Dou Zong this time, Grandpa will grant you one request. Whatever reward you want, just ask."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng laughed in delight. He was immensely satisfied and proud that his grandson had achieved such cultivation at this age.

As for whether he could fulfill Jiang Xing's request, Jiang Cheng did not consider it at all. He had absolute confidence in his own Six-Star Dou Saint strength.

Having obtained his grandfather's promise, Jiang Xing knew this matter was settled.

He revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Grandpa, now that I've broken through to Dou Zong, I want to go out and gain some experience."

"You want to go out and train that badly?"

Jiang Cheng, who had just been basking in the grandeur of his own words, became somewhat helpless.

"Yes, Grandpa. Since I was born, I've never left the Eastern Central Plains. I've always been under your protection. I want to go to the Northwest Continent and see the world, so I hope Grandpa will agree to let me go out and train."

Jiang Xing nodded firmly.

"Very well. I agree to let you go out and gain experience. But the outside world is full of dangers, so I'll send Ji Feng to protect you. With him there, I'll be a little more at ease."

Knowing that his grandson was determined to go out and train, Jiang Cheng was reluctant, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

Ji Feng was a Jiang Clan guard. Jiang Cheng had once saved Ji Feng's life, and Ji Feng had remained with the Jiang Clan ever since. Not long ago, he had just broken through to Five-Star Dou Venerate.

Jiang Cheng had once visited the Northwest Continent as well. A Dou Zong could basically run rampant there, so sending Ji Feng to protect Jiang Xing would be enough.

"This is your first time going out. I'll make some preparations for you."

"Alright."

Jiang Xing understood his grandfather's intentions and did not object, allowing Jiang Cheng to make the arrangements.
