Chapter 5

The Path of Reincarnation, also known as the Path of Life and Death.

According to the chronicles, the Reincarnation Emperor was a once-in-a-millennium genius who comprehended the life and death of heaven and earth, saw through the mundane world, and ultimately created the unique Path of Reincarnation.

Mastering the Path of Reincarnation, he was one of the top few existences even among the countless strong beings in the Immortal Court, capable of reversing time and space, and reincarnating life and death, almost achieving immortality.

The chronicles do not explicitly state why he ultimately fell, but there is no doubt that the power of the Path of Reincarnation has completely surpassed Chu Xingyun's understanding.

Even obtaining a fraction of it would allow him to benefit for life!

"I must strive to cultivate and strive to break through to the Spirit Gathering Realm as soon as possible, to thoroughly examine the secrets hidden in the Reincarnation Scripture." Chu Xingyun murmured softly, his face not becoming solemn but rather extremely excited.

His current cultivation is at the Second Heaven of the Body Tempering Realm, still eight levels away from the Spirit Gathering Realm.

To others, this might seem very difficult, but for Chu Xingyun, it is not a problem.

On the surface, he is just a sixteen-year-old boy, but in reality, he possesses a thousand years of memories, and the cultivation techniques and martial arts he has mastered are as numerous as the stars.

Moreover, cultivating inside the Reincarnation Stone is equivalent to five days for every one day.

This further fills Chu Xingyun with confidence that he can enter the Spirit Gathering Realm in a short period of time.

Rumble!

As he thought, Chu Xingyun felt a bit hungry. Leaving the inner space of the Reincarnation Stone, he was surprised to find that the sun had already risen outside the window, and he had unknowingly spent so much time inside the Reincarnation Stone.

Walking out of the room, in the hall, Shui Liu Xiang had already prepared breakfast and was about to call Chu Xingyun to eat.

Chu Hu, on the other hand, was drooling as he brought out the leftover chicken soup from yesterday.

The entire courtyard was filled with the aroma of food, creating a very warm scene.

However, just as Chu Xingyun was feeling happy.

A loud noise sounded, and the Chu family's main gate was suddenly kicked open with such force that the entire door turned to pieces.

"Chu Xingyun, come out immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" An extremely cold voice echoed, making Chu Xingyun's gaze freeze.

Three people immediately went out and saw a young man in a brocade robe standing outside the door, his face full of arrogance. At his waist, he wore a five-foot-long sword, its blade gleaming, and his entire body exuding a sharp aura.

Seeing this person, Chu Xingyun's face darkened: "Chu Yang, what do you mean by this!"

This young man in the brocade robe is named Chu Yang, also a member of the Chu family.

Over a decade ago, when the Chu family was in decline, the three elders within the family secretly colluded, using the pretext of preserving the Chu family's lineage to divide the family's numerous industries and wealth among themselves.

At that time, Chu Xingyun was still a child, completely powerless, and could only watch helplessly as his own family's property and wealth were taken by the three elders.

Otherwise, Chu Xingyun would not have fallen to such a state, unable to even afford a chicken, relying on Chu Hu to steal.

And this Chu Yang is the son of the Chu family's chief elder, with a haughty personality, rarely visiting.

What Chu Xingyun never expected was that today, Chu Yang would come uninvited, not only kicking the door to pieces but also issuing threats.

"Chu Xingyun, the matter with the Shui family yesterday is now known throughout the city. You, this good-for-nothing, actually married Shui Liu Xiang, that lowborn. My purpose today is simple: hand over the family head's golden seal. From now on, you, Chu Xingyun, will no longer be the young master of the Chu family, and you will not have the right to call yourself a member of the Chu family!"

With that, Chu Yang raised his head proudly, his tone domineering: "After all, your existence only brings shame to the Chu family. It's better to draw a clear line early to avoid the embarrassment of facing the ancestors of the Chu family in the future."

Chu Xingyun did not get angry but laughed, asking: "The family head's golden seal? What gives you the right to demand that I hand it over to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Because I am at the Fourth Heaven of the Body Tempering Realm. If you don't hand over the family head's golden seal today, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

With a sudden movement, Chu Yang gripped the long sword in his hand, the sword light flickering continuously, and a cold aura emanating from it.

Yesterday, Chu Yang advanced to the Fourth Heaven of the Body Tempering Realm. Overjoyed, he also learned about Chu Xingyun's proposal, so he decided to force Chu Xingyun to hand over the family head's golden seal, allowing his father to inherit it and become the new family head of the Chu family in a legitimate manner.

This way, he could not only improve his status but also obtain more cultivation resources, with nothing but benefits.

Feeling the cold aura from Chu Yang, Chu Xingyun's face remained expressionless, his eyes slightly narrowing, and he suddenly spat out a cold word: "Get lost. The family head's golden seal does not belong to you."

Seeing Chu Xingyun's arrogance, Chu Yang was instantly filled with anger: "You, Chu Xingyun, since you refuse to cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With that, a yellowish glow erupted from Chu Yang's body, his chest puffing out, and a series of cracking sounds coming from his bones as his muscles suddenly swelled, stretching his clothes.

More shockingly, a shadow of a one-horned wild bull appeared behind him, bellowing to the sky, making Chu Yang's entire aura become brutal, stirring up gusts of wind.

This one-horned wild bull is, in fact, Chu Yang's martial spirit, ranked at the Second Tier.

"Die!" Chu Yang growled, holding the sword in one hand, and immediately rushed forward, directly slashing at Chu Xingyun's chest.

Originally, Chu Yang did not want to attack Chu Xingyun.

After all, Chu Xingyun is the young master of the Chu family, though a complete waste, his nominal status is far higher than Chu Yang's.

This is why, for sixteen years, the three elders of the Chu family have never forced Chu Xingyun.

But today, Chu Xingyun was so arrogant, not only refusing to hand over the family head's golden seal but also telling him to get lost, putting on a high and mighty attitude, which Chu Yang could no longer tolerate.

"You are the one seeking death!" Chu Xingyun was also enraged, advancing instead of retreating, quickly coming to Chu Yang's front.

He saw Chu Xingyun's left hand like a snake, tightly wrapping around Chu Yang's arm, while his right hand was clenched into a fist, striking Chu Yang's shoulder with all his strength, his entire body's strength bursting forth in an instant.

Even unable to summon his martial spirit, a waste is still a waste. Seeing Chu Xingyun's move, Chu Yang sneered.

However, just as he was about to strike, he was surprised to find that his arm, wrapped by Chu Xingyun, could not move, and he could not even use his spiritual energy, only watching helplessly as the punch hit his shoulder, unable to dodge.

Bang!

Chu Yang's entire body was sent flying, his arm dislocated, and he could no longer grip the long sword, falling to the ground in a wretched state, his body returning to its original form.

The one-horned wild bull, though a decent martial spirit at the Second Tier, is extremely brutal in strength, but you chose a long sword as your weapon to show off, thus failing to fully utilize the advantages of your martial spirit.

Moreover, a sword is not used in this way.

Chu Xingyun looked at Chu Yang coldly, flicking his right hand to grip the long sword, forming a beautiful sword flower, emitting a clear and ethereal sword cry.

This sound was very pure, without any impurities, making Chu Yang's eyes widen in shock.

In his memory, even his father, the chief elder of the Chu family, could not make the long sword emit such an ethereal sword cry.

What is going on? When did Chu Xingyun become so strong?
