Chapter 2

With a sharp pain in his head, Jiang Xuan suddenly woke up.

"This is..." He found himself in a world of stars.

Endless star fields stretched out, vast and boundless.

Among them, nine stars were particularly bright, their radiance overshadowing the surrounding stars.

They slowly revolved, seemingly drawn to each other.

In the end, the nine stars aligned in a straight line.

Nine Stars in Conjunction! "Roar!"

Suddenly, a boundless divine dragon appeared, coiling between the nine stars.

The divine dragon's eyes were majestic and domineering, exuding an aura of supreme power.

"I am the Supreme Divine Dragon, the eternal sovereign under the heavens."

The divine dragon's gaze seemed to traverse the ages, landing on Jiang Xuan.

Instantly, Jiang Xuan felt a chill, as if he were completely exposed before the divine dragon, with no secrets left.

"Why are you here, Senior?"

Jiang Xuan tentatively asked. Though he was just a minor branch family member, he had heard some legendary stories from his parents, and the one before him was likely a great being from ancient times.

"Three thousand years ago, I was betrayed and killed in a great battle.

Young man, I sense your unwillingness. I hope that after receiving my legacy, you will one day go to the Dragon Clan and save my people."

The divine dragon's voice carried a faint note of sorrow.

Before Jiang Xuan could react, the divine dragon roared, and the nine stars in the sky transformed into mysterious runes, rushing into Jiang Xuan's mind.

When Jiang Xuan regained his senses, he found himself back in reality.

"Phew—" Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, eager to digest the information in his mind.

"The Nine Stars Divine Dragon Technique, the supreme art of ancient times. When mastered, one can transform into a divine dragon, with an invincible physical body, unparalleled in the world!"

Jiang Xuan was extremely excited. He never thought he would receive the legacy of an ancient great being.

The path he would take in the future was destined to be extraordinary.

"Rest assured! Receiving your legacy is like being reborn. I will definitely go to the Dragon Clan and save your people."

Jiang Xuan made a firm resolve in his heart.

"Hey! My realm has advanced to the Third Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm."

At this moment, Jiang Xuan felt an urge to laugh out loud. Not only had he received a terrifying legacy, but his cultivation had also advanced rapidly.

"Hmph! Jiang Mo.

You main branch family members always bully us branch family members with your cultivation.

Just wait and see this time!"

Jiang Xuan was a man of clear love and hate, always ready to repay kindness with kindness and repay enmity with tenfold vengeance.

...

After picking the Fengyang Grass, Jiang Xuan did not linger. He moved swiftly and soon returned to his residence.

"Brother! Come and eat!"

As soon as he returned home, a young girl came up to him, pulling him to the dining table with a smile.

"Ling'er, here! This is the Fengyang Grass for you. When I have money, I'll buy you a Cold-Resistant Pill, so you won't be bothered by the cold poison anymore."

Jiang Ling'er nodded obediently. Though their family was poor, she always believed in her brother's words, knowing that if he said it, it would happen.

...

The next morning, Jiang Xuan did not go out but practiced continuously in the courtyard of his home.

"Roar!"

In the courtyard, a dragon-shaped energy burst from Jiang Xuan's palm, with astonishing momentum.

"Still not enough!"

Jiang Xuan clenched his hand. Although he had obtained the supreme technique, the Nine Stars Divine Dragon Technique, he still lacked a movement technique.

"I should go to the library."

With that, Jiang Xuan headed straight for the library.

...

The library was located on the west side of the Jiang family estate. To get there, he had to pass through the training ground.

When Jiang Xuan passed the training ground, a voice made him stop.

"Hehehe! Jiang Xuan, you're not afraid of death. I didn't expect you to come to your doom so quickly!"

Jiang Xuan frowned and looked ahead.

"Jiang Mo, it's not even three days yet."

The one who appeared before Jiang Xuan was none other than Jiang Mo, who had challenged him yesterday.

"So what?

I can't wait anymore!"

Jiang Mo grinned viciously, licking his lips, his eyes flashing with a cruel look.

If it were before, Jiang Xuan would have been terrified. But now...

"Fine! But my time is precious. How about we decide the winner in one move?"

Jiang Xuan said seriously.

"Hehe! This kid is smart. Knowing he can't beat Jiang Mo, he proposed this method, probably to minimize his injuries!"

"But, he doesn't realize that with his strength, which is not even at the First Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, he still has no chance of winning."

Seeing the two in the training ground, many Jiang family members gathered around, looking at Jiang Xuan with pity.

Sure enough, when they heard Jiang Xuan's words, Jiang Mo's face twisted into a sinister smile.

Suddenly, his body shot forward, his hands transforming into eagle claws, attacking Jiang Xuan like a hunting eagle.

"This is... The Eighteen Eagle Claws Technique!"

The onlookers exclaimed in shock. The Eighteen Eagle Claws Technique, though a low-grade spirit technique, was known for its versatile and ruthless moves.

When mastered, it could rival a mid-grade spirit technique.

As far as they knew, Jiang Xuan, who had not yet reached the First Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, was not qualified to practice spirit techniques.

"Jiang Xuan is doomed!"

The crowd shook their heads. Facing Jiang Mo using the Eighteen Eagle Claws Technique, Jiang Xuan's fate would be dire.

"What a ruthless move."

Jiang Xuan's expression turned cold. He was not a fool. If this move had been used on him before, it would have put him in bed for a month.

"But..." Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold smile. Since that day he woke up, he found that his mind not only contained the supreme technique, the Nine Stars Divine Dragon Technique, but also the memories of the divine dragon from his previous life, including combat experience.

The Eighteen Eagle Claws Technique, though powerful, had weak defenses. If he could concentrate his strength on a single point, he could break through it.

...

"Die!"

Seeing Jiang Xuan standing still, Jiang Mo laughed viciously and extended his right hand to cripple Jiang Xuan.

But at that moment, Jiang Xuan suddenly moved. He stepped forward and concentrated all his cultivation into a single finger, which collided heavily with the incoming attack.

"Crack!"

The crowd heard the sound of bones breaking.

"Tsk! This kid is overestimating himself, thinking one move can save him from serious injury!"

"Yeah! He should know his limits before proposing such a move!"

"Looks like Jiang Mo's punch will keep him in bed for half a year..."

"Ah!"

However, when the pig-like scream echoed, they realized it came from Jiang Mo.

"How is this possible?"

The surrounding Jiang family members looked at the scene as if they had seen a ghost.

"Defeating you takes just one move!"
