Chapter 2: Ten Thousand Years Later

After a long while, Chu Fengmian's consciousness gradually awakened.

"What's going on? Could it be that I didn't die?"

Chu Fengmian suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, but the pain in his body made him frown.

"Where am I? Didn't I jump off the Heaven-Cutting Peak? How could I still be alive?"

In Chu Fengmian's eyes, there was a look of great confusion. Looking around, everything in his mind was unfamiliar.

"Chu Fengmian? By the Wei River? The Lin Family?"

Suddenly, Chu Fengmian was dazed for a moment, and then his gaze began to change.

"So, it turns out that I, Chu Jianbai, have been dead for ten thousand years?"

Chu Fengmian lifted his head and looked around. His eyes were filled with desolation.

Chu Jianbai.

If this name were mentioned ten thousand years ago, it would be known by everyone in the Wu Sheng Kingdom.

Swordsmanship was the most extensive martial path in the Wu Sheng Kingdom, and even in the entire continent.

If asked who was the first in swordsmanship, even a child would blurt out the name of the Sword Lord.

The Supreme Peak, the first in swordsmanship.

But if asked who was the first in sword intent, the name from ten thousand years ago would be different.

Chu Jianbai.

In the past, Chu Jianbai was the first in swordsmanship, the youngest disciple of the Sword Lord. Even the Sword Lord once sighed to Chu Jianbai.

In terms of sword intent and understanding of swordsmanship, Chu Jianbai had already surpassed his master, the Sword Lord.

However, this was not a compliment, but a sigh.

Because although Chu Jianbai had an unparalleled sword intent, he had a fatal flaw: he could not cultivate spiritual energy throughout his life.

Spiritual energy is the power generated and accumulated from the spirit veins in the human body.

Without spirit veins, one cannot cultivate spiritual energy, let alone accumulate it.

Having a body full of sword intent but no spiritual energy is almost no different from being a cripple.

Later, the Sword Lord was killed by the combined forces of the seven major sects, who sought to obtain the countless sword techniques he possessed. The strong of the seven major sects began to hunt down the disciples of the Sword Lord.

Chu Jianbai's countless senior brothers and sisters were killed by the strong of the seven major sects.

In the end, Chu Jianbai was also discovered by the strong of the seven major sects on the Heaven-Cutting Peak.

To prevent the sword techniques from falling into the hands of the seven major sects, Chu Jianbai chose to destroy himself and leaped into the depths of the Heaven-Cutting Peak.

"Heavenly Sword Sect! Ancient Wilderness Sect! Holy King Sect! Celestial Pivot Hall! Nine Demon City! Ancient Moon Canyon! Medicine King Valley! Seven major sects! I, Chu Jianbai, will definitely take revenge on each and every one of you! To avenge my deceased master, senior brothers, and sisters!"

Chu Fengmian was also Chu Jianbai's roar of anger.

Since heaven had given Chu Jianbai another life, he would seek revenge on the seven major sects to avenge the deep enmity of the past.

However, it was already ten thousand years later, and the name Chu Jianbai had long disappeared. The body he now possessed was named Chu Fengmian.

"Phew, this Chu Fengmian is truly pitiful, being beaten to death by two servants."

After awakening, the memories of this body flooded into Chu Jianbai's mind, and he naturally understood everything that had just happened.

"From now on, Chu Jianbai is dead, and only Chu Fengmian remains."

Chu Fengmian's eyes showed a determined look.

Chu Jianbai had died at the bottom of the Heaven-Cutting Peak ten thousand years ago, and now, only Chu Fengmian, who sought revenge on the seven major sects, remained.

"This body..."

Chu Fengmian's expression quickly turned serious as he examined this body. Suddenly, a slight anomaly from his left hand made Chu Fengmian's expression brighten.

"This is... spiritual energy!"

On Chu Fengmian's left hand, there was a small, inconspicuous green particle.

The spiritual energy within this green particle was extremely thin, but for Chu Fengmian, it was the first time he had felt spiritual energy.

In the past, Chu Jianbai's body was a nine-absolute body, with no spirit veins anywhere, and even the countless spirit medicines found by his master, the Sword Lord, were of no use to Chu Jianbai.

Now, although the spiritual energy in this body was also very thin, it was a glimmer of hope for Chu Fengmian.

As long as it wasn't a nine-absolute body, he was confident that he could transform this body into the most perfect body in the world.

Chu Fengmian sat cross-legged and slowly circulated the small amount of thin spiritual energy in his body.

Gradually, a golden ancient book appeared in Chu Fengmian's mind. On the cover of this golden ancient book, five golden characters appeared.

Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique!

Ten thousand years ago, the first cultivation technique in the Wu Sheng Kingdom.

For all martial artists, spirit veins were of utmost importance. A person's spirit veins represented their talent and future achievements.

Spirit veins were innate, like Chu Fengmian, who had only half a spirit vein. His body did not even have a fully connected spirit vein, so his cultivation was several times, even dozens of times slower than ordinary martial artists.

Being born with one spirit vein was enough to cultivate martial arts, but the achievements were limited.

In the Lin Family, the true inner disciples had at least three spirit veins, and the best among them had five spirit veins. The first person in the Lin Family, the young lord, was born with seven spirit veins fully connected, making him the first genius in the Lin Family in a hundred years, renowned throughout the Wu Sheng Kingdom.

Although spirit veins were innate, there were other ways to open them, such as using rare treasures and assistance from strong cultivators.

The Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique, known as the first technique at the time, was precisely because it had the effect of opening spirit veins.

In the past, Chu Fengmian had also wanted to open his spirit veins and had desperately sought the Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique, but even this technique could not open a nine-absolute body.

However, this time, Chu Fengmian's body was not a nine-absolute body. Even if the spirit veins in his body were currently blocked, Chu Fengmian was confident that he could open them.

"Condense!"

Chu Fengmian sat on the ground with his eyes tightly closed and began to circulate the Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique.

Soon, countless beads of sweat rolled down from Chu Fengmian's forehead.

The Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique was not a perfect cultivation technique. To cultivate it, one had to endure great pain, especially the Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique, which required breaking and then recondensing the spirit veins in the body.

The pain of breaking spirit veins was even more intense than the pain of broken bones.

However, for Chu Fengmian, this was his first chance to cultivate. He was overjoyed and would not fear such minor pain. In his previous life, he had never had the opportunity to cultivate, and this time, no matter how great the pain, Chu Fengmian would endure it.
