Passing through the courtyard, the buildings were scattered in an orderly fashion, layer upon layer. The Xu Family was not low in ranking in Canglan City, being one of the Four Great Families. Although their Foundation was not as deep as the other three families, it was not weak either.
Xu Yilin had already reached the Peak of the Spirit Cleansing Realm, one of the top ten experts in Canglan City.
The room was a mess, reeking horribly. Dirty clothes were piled in the corner, and a few pairs of smelly socks were thrown to the side.
"Interesting. Even after marrying the Xu Family's Miss, he still lives in this dilapidated courtyard."
Liu Wuxie touched his nose. Yesterday's wedding banquet was not held on a large scale; only a few elders of the Family were invited, and it was hastily concluded. As for the bridal chamber?
Bridal chamber, my foot. He hadn't even gone in before he was beaten out, not even seeing his wife's face.
In a fit of anger, he went to a brothel with a few of his scoundrel friends to vent.
He opened the wardrobe, found a set of green robes, put them on, and left the room.
Passing through the Great Hall, he entered the inner hall, the residence of the Xu Family Patriarch, a place where ordinary people could not enter.
In the main hall, three people sat around a table: his Father-in-law Xu Yilin, his Mother-in-law Yang Zi, and his wife Xu Lingxue.
Xu Lingxue was beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. She exuded a quiet and noble aura. Her long eyelashes, high nose bridge, and luscious red lips, along with her voluptuous figure and undulating curves, outlined a perfect and extremely alluring physique.
As an Immortal Emperor, Liu Wuxie had lived for thousands of years and seen countless beauties.
The one he remembered most vividly was Water Yao Immortal Emperor, the number one beauty in the Immortal World. Compared to her, Xu Lingxue was not inferior.
"This woman is my wife?"
With this appearance, temperament, and looks, she would surely overturn the Mortal World. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a femme fatale. Such a woman actually married such a good-for-nothing.
Xu Lingxue glanced at him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, but she quickly returned to an expressionless state. Last night's events had too great an impact on the Xu Family. Her clear, cold eyes no longer looked at him.
This was sorrow greater than a dead heart; she was utterly disappointed in him. Liu Wuxie sighed inwardly, his gaze shifting away from Xu Lingxue as he stepped into the main hall.
Liu Wuxie did not sit down but stood to the side. His Mother-in-law Yang Zi's expression was extremely ugly; she wished she could throw him out. His Father-in-law Xu Yilin took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Are you not going to give us an explanation for what happened last night?"
Xu Yilin spoke first, with a hint of questioning. He had watched Liu Wuxie grow up and had long treated him like his own son. He had no sons of his own and Liu Wuxie was the only descendant of his old friend who had faced life and death with him. Although Liu Wuxie had been a dissolute young man these past few years, he had tolerated it.
However, the scene from last night filled him with righteous indignation. As he spoke, his chest heaved violently, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"There's nothing to explain. It has already happened. An explanation is superfluous."
Liu Wuxie's calm reply infuriated Xu Yilin. He raised his hand, but quickly lowered it. If Liu Wuxie had admitted his mistake, he would have felt better. What did these words mean? Even an explanation was unnecessary?
He didn't know, however, that the Liu Wuxie from last night had already died, his life taken by a single palm strike.
Xu Yilin's appearance made Liu Wuxie feel the concern of Family. In his previous life, he had always been alone, rising step by step with only a Blood Blade. In this life, he had Family, and a strange urge to protect them. This feeling was good.
As for yesterday's events, he would investigate thoroughly to find out who wanted to kill him.
"Liu Dage was a great man who stood tall between Heaven and Earth. How could he have given birth to a good-for-nothing like you? You've truly disgraced the Liu Family! What you did yesterday was simply worse than a beast!"
Yang Zi stood up, completely erupting. This incident had made it difficult for the Xu Family to hold their heads up in the entire Canglan City and even the Great Yan Dynasty. From now on, they would have to lower their heads three parts when meeting people.
Liu Wuxie did not retort. His memories of his parents were already vague; they had mysteriously disappeared when he was young.
"This matter has nothing to do with my parents. This matter started because of me, and I will bear the responsibility alone."
Liu Wuxie was somewhat displeased. In the entire Xu Family, apart from Xu Yilin who treated him reasonably well, the others were not worth mentioning. As for Xu Lingxue, she had always been aloof. Although they grew up together, they had very little contact on a daily basis.
"Bear the responsibility alone? How will you bear it? Outsiders are saying that our Xu Family is not strict in its discipline and wants us to hand you over to be beaten to death with sticks!"
Yang Zi let out a cold laugh. If her Husband didn't have some status, could he still be standing here unharmed? He would have been beaten to death long ago.
All sorts of harsh words came out of her mouth, but Liu Wuxie remained unmoved, listening quietly. He owed the Xu Family too much over the years. A few scolding words were harmless.
"Enough!"
Xu Yilin interrupted Yang Zi. If she continued, what kind of proper conduct would that be? No matter how useless Liu Wuxie was, he was still Liu Dage's only son. Without Liu Dage, their Xu Family would have been annihilated long ago. He kept this favor firmly in mind.
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Liu Wuxie bowed in greeting. Regardless of whether they agreed or not, after speaking, he walked towards the outside of the main hall. From beginning to end, he appeared very calm.
Normally, when Yang Zi scolded him, he would occasionally act playfully and even retort a few times. Today's attitude was too abnormal. Could it be that yesterday's incident had hit him too hard?
"If there's nothing important, don't go out. Stay at home and Cultivate honestly."
As Liu Wuxie was about to leave the hall, Xu Yilin's voice came over, warming his heart. He paused his steps slightly, nodded slightly, and returned to his residence.
He cleaned the room, washed some dirty clothes, and sat down cross-legged. He hadn't had time to examine the mysterious text that had appeared in his mind.
His consciousness entered his Soul Sea, and his whole body trembled: "This is the long-lost Primordial Text."
Liu Wuxie was incomparably shocked. The Primordial Text had long since become extinct. In the Mortal Realm, no one would recognize it. Even in the Immortal World, no more than five people recognized the Primordial Text, and he was one of them.
The Great Wilderness World was born at the beginning of the Universe and had long since perished, disappearing into the river of history.
He spent the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, organizing all the Primordial Text. Every word was profound, reaching the core of the Great Dao. The most terrifying part was the last section: All things under Heaven, nothing cannot be devoured, nothing cannot be refined, nothing cannot be assimilated.
"Taihuang Devouring Heaven Art!"
These five large characters floated before him, grand and majestic, stirring the soul. A primal aura burst forth from his body.
"What a terrifying Cultivation Technique! The Primordial Immortal Dao Art I cultivated in my previous life is not on the same level compared to it."
The Primordial Immortal Dao Art was definitely one of the best Cultivation Techniques in the Lingyun Immortal Realm. In his previous life, relying on the Primordial Immortal Dao Art, he cultivated to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Could this Taihuang Devouring Heaven Art break through the shackles of Heaven and Earth and enter a higher Realm?
Liu Wuxie didn't dare to think further. What would come after the Immortal Emperor? No one knew.
"I hope the Taihuang Devouring Heaven Art is not like other Immortal World Cultivation Techniques that Mortals cannot Cultivate."
He muttered to himself. He had just tried several Cultivation Techniques, and none of them could be cultivated. With a heavy heart, he began to Cultivate according to the instructions of the Taihuang Devouring Heaven Art for the first time.
The moment it started circulating, the entire courtyard became incomparably restless. The spiritual energy floating in the void made sizzling sounds, surging in madly through the cracks in the door and drilling into his body.
A large amount of spiritual energy turned into liquid. After entering his Dan field, more than half of it was absorbed by the Devouring Heaven Divine Cauldron. This scene shocked Liu Wuxie even more.
"Automatically absorbing spiritual energy?"
Regardless, the Primeval Devouring Heaven Art could be cultivated, which was a good thing. As for more than half of it being absorbed by the Devouring Heaven Divine Cauldron, he didn't care too much.
Confirming that he could Cultivate, he completely let go and fully activated the Taihuang Devouring Heaven Art. The terrifying spiritual energy, like liquid, impacted his Meridians.
Nourished by the spiritual energy, his weak Meridians emitted a faint glow. A large amount of black dirt oozed out through his pores, filling the entire room with a foul smell.
He circulated the Cultivation Technique, pushing the foul smell away, revealing new skin that was smooth as jade. His entire body's skin seemed to be reborn, like that of a newborn baby.
"Cleansing the Marrow and Washing the Body!"
After cultivating for just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, more than half of the Impurities in his body were cleared out. If he continued cultivating like this, what would happen?
The body was the Foundation. The more solid it was built, the higher his future achievements would be. Liu Wuxie was very clear about this and would definitely not be stingy. He would strip away the excess spiritual energy to temper his Physical Body and was not in a hurry to break through Realms for now.
An hour quietly passed...
He opened his eyes, and a ray of cold light shot out, forming two chilling streams of energy.
"Not bad. After cultivating for an hour, ten drops of mysterious liquid appeared in the Devouring Heaven Divine Cauldron."
He poured out the liquid, which flowed into his body, continuing the transformation. Powerful energy vortexes brewed around him. His Meridians made sounds like war drums, like ten thousand horses galloping.
Afterheaven Second Layer!
Afterheaven Third Layer!
Afterheaven Fourth Layer!
In just a few breaths, he continuously broke through several Realms from being a good-for-nothing at the Afterheaven First Layer, reaching the Afterheaven Fourth Layer before slowly stopping.
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, feeling completely refreshed. His entire being was like he had been reborn through blood, emanating an ethereal aura from head to toe.
He walked out of the room and stood under the banyan tree, lost in thought.
"Cultivation is inseparable from wealth, companions, techniques, and location. To quickly improve my Realm, I need a lot of financial support. Relying solely on the Taihuang Devouring Heaven Art is still not enough. The top priority is to refine the Xumai Dan (Meridian Restoration Pill) and purchase medicinal ingredients for refining Body Tempering fluid. The Afterheaven Realm requires repeated tempering of the body."
He stroked his smooth chin and muttered to himself.
He took out paper and a brush and wrote down the ingredients for refining the Xumai Dan (Meridian Restoration Pill). After hesitating for a moment, he wrote another Dan (Alchemy) formula, folded it up, and put it in his In arms.
It was already morning, and the entire Xu Family was busy.
He closed the courtyard door and walked through the corridor. On the way, he met a few Xu Family servants who looked at him with disdain. They had never had a good impression of this son-in-law.
"How embarrassing, it's so embarrassing! Our Xu Family will have a hard time holding our heads up in Canglan City from now on."
Before Liu Wuxie left, he heard quiet discussions behind him. A few maids were pointing at him.
"The most heartbroken person must be Miss. On the first day of her marriage, this good-for-nothing actually went to a brothel. And it's not just visiting; he even went wild like a beast! Now it's good, everyone in the entire Canglan City knows about it."
