Chapter 3

Day after day, year after year, Ling Dao was suppressed under the Divine Sword Mountain. Countless sword auras continuously ravaged his body, and with the passage of time, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Until that day, a mighty and imposing figure burst into the Purple Microcosm Holy Land. Unfortunately, at this point, Ling Dao could no longer see clearly, only vaguely sensing what was happening. Inside the Purple Microcosm Holy Land, a world-shaking battle erupted.

Compared to this battle, his previous skirmish was merely a minor disturbance. Even with his blurred consciousness, Ling Dao could feel the entire Purple Microcosm Holy Land shaking, and even time and space became extremely chaotic.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Dao seemed to see a familiar face. He wanted to speak, but he could no longer open his mouth. He only heard this person sigh, his voice filled with anger and heartache.

The Divine Sword Mountain was blasted away by a single palm, and Ling Dao was finally freed from under the mountain. Unfortunately, at this point, he was no different from death. Even with his profound cultivation, he could not be revived.

"Ultimately, I arrived too late; it's already beyond saving. Fortunately, as the Master of the Human Path, I can allow you to enter the cycle of rebirth and be reborn in the human world!"

This was a middle-aged man, with a broad forehead, a majestic and imposing figure, and a dignified demeanor. Every movement he made exuded great authority. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and his eyes seemed to contain countless small worlds being born and destroyed.

"Open the Human Path of the Six Realms!"

In the three realms, there were only six paths of the cycle of rebirth. No matter how many worlds existed, there were only six paths, and at most, they could be controlled by six people. This middle-aged man was the Master of the Human Path, in charge of the Human Path of the cycle of rebirth.

The middle-aged man's eyes were incredibly deep, and his hands continuously formed seals. In front of him, the Human Path of the cycle of rebirth slowly condensed. A massive vortex seemed capable of tearing the souls of all living beings into it.

He looked at Ling Dao in his arms with reluctance and then slowly placed Ling Dao into the cycle of rebirth. The Human Path of the cycle of rebirth would allow Ling Dao to be reborn in the human world, but he did not know in which world, as the cycle of rebirth was mysterious and unpredictable.

"I hope you can be reborn and rise again. This time, consider it a test for you. As the Master of the Human Path, I can ensure that you do not lose your memories, which will be your advantage in the future!"

...

In the Da Luo Dynasty, the Free and Easy Prince's Mansion.

Today, the Free and Easy Prince's Mansion was extremely lively. The Free and Easy Prince's Consort, who had been pregnant for ten months, was finally about to give birth. A total of nine midwives entered the Free and Easy Prince's Mansion to ensure the safe birth of the Prince.

The Free and Easy Prince was the only non-royal prince in the entire Da Luo Dynasty and the most powerful prince. The current prosperity of the Da Luo Dynasty was largely due to the Free and Easy Prince. It was the Free and Easy Prince who repeatedly led campaigns to expand the territory of the Da Luo Dynasty, leading to its current glory!

All the officials, big and small, in the court came to celebrate, and even the Emperor of the Da Luo Dynasty personally arrived. The Free and Easy Prince was beaming with joy, extremely happy, and warmly entertained all the guests.

"Free and Easy, have you thought about what name to give your son or daughter?"

The Emperor of the Da Luo Dynasty, sitting in front of the Free and Easy Prince, asked with concern. There was no way around it; the Free and Easy Prince's contributions were too great. One could say that even if someone in the entire Da Luo Dynasty did not know the Emperor, they would certainly know the Free and Easy Prince.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's see if it's a son or a daughter first!"

In the entire Da Luo Dynasty, only the Free and Easy Prince could sit without kneeling before the Emperor. Sitting in front of the Emperor, the Free and Easy Prince was completely at ease, as if it were his natural right. No one noticed the flash of killing intent in the Emperor's eyes.

"Your Highness, it's a boy!"

A maid's voice rang out, and the Free and Easy Prince's eyes lit up with joy, and he instantly stood up. In this era, boys were naturally valued more than girls, so a son was naturally better than a daughter.

"Your Majesty, I must take my leave!"

The Free and Easy Prince turned and walked towards the door. The Emperor of the Da Luo Dynasty smiled at the Free and Easy Prince, but his face quickly turned serious. Originally, the Emperor had prayed for the Free and Easy Prince to have a daughter, but who would have thought it would be a son.

"Ha ha ha, Rou'er, you've worked hard!"

Seeing the young woman lying in bed and the newborn baby, the Free and Easy Prince laughed heartily. He waved his hand, and the midwives and maids quickly left, leaving only the three of them in the room.

"Free and Easy, our son has finally been born. Give him a name quickly!"

Hearing the Consort's words, the baby moved. The Free and Easy Prince quickly picked up the baby, his clear eyes flashing with wisdom. A normal baby would not be able to do this, but he was Ling Dao, and all his memories were still intact.

"My son must have a powerful name. What about Ling Tian? Ling Xiao? Ling Zhan?"

These names made the baby frown, clearly not liking any of them. The Free and Easy Prince laughed, thinking it was absurd that a newborn could understand his words.

"How about Ling Dao?"

Rou'er, lying in bed, suddenly suggested. Hearing this, the baby smiled, and seeing the baby's reaction, Rou'er felt even more confident about the name. The Free and Easy Prince raised an eyebrow but did not object.

"Alright, let's go with what Rou'er said!"

The baby was even happier. He naturally did not want to change his name, as he had used the name Ling Dao for so many years. As for why Rou'er suddenly thought of this name, even she did not know, perhaps it was a stroke of inspiration.

From that day on, the Free and Easy Prince's Mansion had a new Prince, Ling Dao. With the Free and Easy Prince's immense power, Ling Dao's living conditions were naturally very good. Unfortunately, what troubled the Free and Easy Prince was that Ling Dao's body was extremely weak.

The Free and Easy Prince was a genius with formidable strength. Logically, his son should also be a martial genius. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Ling Dao had entered the Human Path of the cycle of rebirth, but the sword auras in his body still existed.

With so many sword auras in his body, he naturally became extremely weak. No matter how much he was supplemented, it was of no use unless all the sword auras in his body were removed. Unfortunately, although the Free and Easy Prince was powerful, he could not achieve this.

Time flew by, and the Free and Easy Prince's son, Ling Dao, grew day by day. However, the sword auras in his body did not decrease, causing his body to remain weak. The Free and Easy Prince tried many methods, but none of them worked.

"It seems the only option is to seek our fortune in the Heavenly Dragon Forbidden Land!"
