Chapter 1

Jiang Chen shook his somewhat swollen head vigorously, suddenly becoming clear-headed.

"In the year 3486 of the Holy Yuan Calendar, I, the Holy One, have been dead for a hundred years. Jiang Chen, you are also called Jiang Chen. I, the Holy One, have actually been reborn a hundred years later."

Jiang Chen looked up and found himself in a dark and dilapidated room. The walls were full of cracks, and the door was tightly closed; he had been imprisoned.

Jiang Chen's ears perked up, and he heard someone speaking outside the door.

"Brother Yong, he is the only son of the city lord. Although he is a good-for-nothing, the city lord dotes on him. If the city lord finds out, it will be disastrous."

Outside the door stood two burly men. One of them was full of worry. This was a deserted area of Tianxiang City, where few people came.

"Fear nothing. No one will know. The city lord won't know either. Besides, after drinking this boy's blood, we will immediately leave Tianxiang City. Yang Shuang, don't you want to achieve something in your life?"

Yang Yong's face was twisted with a sinister expression.

Hearing this, the struggle on Yang Shuang's face disappeared, replaced by a look of ruthlessness: "There's no turning back anyway. The city lord has spent a great deal of effort and poured countless spiritual medicines into this useless son, yet he has only reached the first stage of the Qi Realm. If these medicines were given to us, we would have long reached the Qi Sea Realm, or even broken through to the Human Pill Realm."

"These medicines are a waste on him. Instead of being a waste, they should benefit us. After three days, the Purification Pill will cleanse all the impurities from his body. We will drink his blood, improve our own qualities, and immediately flee far away."

Yang Yong sneered.

Every word of the two men was heard by the newly reborn Jiang Chen. After merging with the original owner's memories, a sneer also appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

"Want to drink my blood? You'll only get to drink urine."

Through the memories, he learned that the two men outside were guards of the city lord's mansion, who had the audacity to target him, planning to kill him and take his blood.

Jiang Chen was not at all panicked. As the first Holy One in the world, he had encountered scenes a hundred times more dangerous than this. Moreover, these two men had given him a Purification Pill to cleanse the impurities from his blood, which would take three days, giving him three days of opportunity.

Ignoring the two men outside, Jiang Chen began to examine his body. When he felt the vast medicinal power within, he was immediately overjoyed.

"This city lord father only knows how to pour spiritual medicines into his son, not realizing that his son cannot absorb them. With so much medicine accumulated, something will eventually go wrong. But for me, this body is a treasure."

Jiang Chen smiled. For the first Holy One in the world, absorbing and refining this medicinal power was a piece of cake.

"These two guys even gave me a Purification Pill. Although it is low-level, it is extremely beneficial to this body. Let me refine and absorb all the accumulated medicines."

With a thought, Jiang Chen found a Qi Condensation Technique in his memories and began to practice it.

As the Qi Condensation Technique operated, the accumulated medicinal power in his body began to be dispersed, entering Jiang Chen's limbs and every part of his body.

The spiritual medicines began to refine Jiang Chen's bones, blood, and every inch of his skin. At this time, the Purification Pill also played a role, gradually removing the impurities from Jiang Chen's body.

The accumulated medicinal power over the past ten years was too substantial. This waste of a youth was a treasure trove, a huge waste, no wonder someone had targeted him.

"Medicinal power to Qi, transform for me."

Jiang Chen shouted, and the vast medicinal power in his body began to transform into pure primordial energy while refining his physical body.

Crack!

He broke through, reaching the second stage of the Qi Realm!

In just one hour, Jiang Chen broke through the original constraints and reached the second stage of the Qi Realm.

Crack, crack, crack!

The third, fourth, and fifth stages of the Qi Realm. In one day, Jiang Chen broke through continuously, directly reaching the fifth stage of the Qi Realm.

The so-called "accumulated strength leading to a sudden burst" was evident. The medicinal power accumulated in this body was too substantial. By the time he reached the fifth stage of the Qi Realm, only half of the medicinal power had been used.

Outside the door, Yang Yong and Yang Shuang were restless, anxiously waiting.

"Brother Yong, it's been a day. Why don't we just kill him and take his blood?"

Yang Shuang was feeling uneasy.

"No, the Purification Pill needs three days to completely cleanse the impurities from the blood. We need to wait."

Yang Yong said.

Inside the room, Jiang Chen was immersed in the pleasure of advancing. In the Holy Yuan Continent, everyone practiced martial arts. The ninth stage of the Qi Realm allowed one to open a Qi Sea in the dantian, reaching the Qi Sea Realm, followed by the Human Pill Realm, Heaven Pill Realm, and Divine Pill Realm, known as the five foundational realms.

After reaching the fifth stage of the Qi Realm, Jiang Chen did not stop, but the speed of advancement clearly slowed down.

Two days later, Jiang Chen had refined all the medicinal power in his body, reaching the peak of the eighth stage of the Qi Realm, just one step away from the ninth stage.

"Three days to the eighth stage of the Qi Realm, this body has reached its limit."

Jiang Chen's face was calm. If it were anyone else, advancing seven stages in three days would have made them ecstatic, but Jiang Chen, the first Holy One in the world, had far greater insight and temperament than ordinary people. In short, he was a seasoned veteran.

"Ha ha, time to drink blood."

With an excited laugh, the door opened, and the two men appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

"Drink blood? You can drink my urine."

Jiang Chen, sitting on the ground, suddenly punched both men in the abdomen. They let out a cry of pain and flew out of the door.

These two men were guards of the city lord's mansion. Although their cultivation was not weak, they were only at the sixth stage of the Qi Realm, no match for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen patted his buttocks and slowly walked out of the room. He knew the force of his punches; the two men would not be getting up again.

In the courtyard, Yang Yong and Yang Shuang lay on the ground, clutching their stomachs in pain, looking at Jiang Chen with fear.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. You were only at the first stage of the Qi Realm. Even if you didn't die, how could you become so powerful in just three days?"

Yang Yong was shocked. As guards of the city lord's mansion, they knew this second-generation master very well. He was a complete waste, a good-for-nothing who bullied men and women. Now, he had suddenly become so powerful, completely transformed.

"You two dogs, you have the audacity to target me. Tell me, who ordered you?"

Jiang Chen's eyes glinted coldly as he looked at Yang Yong. He was not a fool. These two men, even if they were bold, were still just servants of the city lord's mansion. Without someone's orders, they would never dare to target him. Moreover, a Purification Pill was not something two servants could casually obtain.

"No one, no one ordered us. We wanted to drink your blood on our own."

Yang Yong quickly said.

"If you don't speak, you'll never have the chance to speak again."

Jiang Chen stepped to Yang Yong and slapped his forehead, shattering his head. Blood and brains mixed together, and he died instantly.

"I never give anyone a second chance."

Jiang Chen's face was indifferent, showing no discomfort at the bloody scene.

But Yang Shuang was terrified. He was a timid person and had never seen such a gruesome scene before. He was shaking all over.

"It's your turn. Speak, who ordered you?"

Jiang Chen turned to Yang Shuang.

"No, no one, please spare me, please spare me, young master."

Yang Shuang was terrified. The youth in front of him was not the familiar young master he knew. His methods of killing were too brutal.

"Still not speaking? Very well. Rest assured, I will not let you die easily. I know a way to die where your heart does not stop beating until you are completely dead. I will cut off your hands and feet, dig out your nose, then your liver and kidneys, and let you see what's inside your body. Finally, I will dig out your heart. If your willpower is strong enough, you might even see your heart beating."

Jiang Chen said each word clearly.

"Alright, I'll speak, I'll speak."

Yang Shuang was drenched in sweat. He could not bear it anymore. In his eyes, Jiang Chen was a demon, a devil.

"Quickly, my patience is limited."

Jiang Chen's face was indifferent.

"It was the eldest young master, the eldest young master ordered us. The Purification Pill was also given by him."

Yang Shuang dared not hide anything.

"Jiang Rulong."

Jiang Chen's mind immediately conjured up a name. Jiang Rulong was a foster son his father had adopted since childhood. Because he himself was not ambitious, his father, Jiang Hai, placed great importance on this foster son, entrusting many businesses to him. In his memories, this elder brother had always taken care of him, covering for him no matter what trouble he caused.

"Why does Jiang Rulong want to get rid of me?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"The city lord has spent a large amount of spiritual medicine resources on you over the years, and the eldest young master naturally envies you. If you die, the eldest young master will become the sole heir of the Jiang family. Moreover, tomorrow is the day of the marriage alliance between the Murong family and the Jiang family. If you die, this good fortune will also fall to the eldest young master."

Yang Shuang trembled as he spoke, revealing everything he knew.

"I see."

A sneer appeared on Jiang Chen's lips. The Murong family was a major clan in Tianxiang City, a commercial giant. Even the city lord's mansion would show respect and not easily provoke them. If the Jiang family could marry into the Murong family, it would be a great benefit with no harm.

Jiang Rulong had deep scheming and a hidden agenda. If it were the old Jiang Chen, a hundred of him combined would not be a match for him. But now, with the first Holy One reborn, a small Jiang Rulong was no match for him.

"Please, young master, I have said everything. Please spare my life. I will serve you like a cow or a horse, willingly."

Yang Shuang kowtowed repeatedly.

"I don't need a slave like you."

Jiang Chen slapped down, and Yang Shuang's voice abruptly stopped.

[New, brothers, let's go...]
