Chapter 1

In the early morning, the Zhengyi Sect, located in the Xuanqing Mountains, was shrouded in a light mist, resembling a fairyland.

"Upon investigation, it has been confirmed that Su Chen, a disciple of Wuyafeng in the Zhengyi Sect, stole ten Qi Gathering Pills from the sect, with solid evidence!"

"His behavior is despicable and has severely violated the rules of the Zhengyi Sect."

"According to the rules, his dantian will be destroyed, and he will be expelled from the sect, never to set foot in the Zhengyi Sect again."

As the sky just began to brighten, a loud and solemn voice, like the sound of a great bell, echoed through the grand hall of the Zhengyi Sect.

In the hall, thousands of Zhengyi Sect disciples stood, their faces expressionless, watching the gray-robed young man below who had been sentenced to a bleak future.

Destroying the dantian and expelling from the sect is equivalent to ruining one's future, leaving one as a useless person from then on.

The gray-robed young man's continuous protests of "I didn't" were drowned out by the cold judgment, and no one cared.

At this moment,

The gray-robed young man's body suddenly trembled. He looked around in a daze, lowered his head to look at his pale, young hands, and his eyes suddenly shone with an incomprehensible light.

"Is this the Zhengyi Sect's Punishment Hall?"

"Have I, Su Chen, really returned to my youth?"

At this moment, Su Chen's soul was no longer that of a fifteen-year-old boy wrongly accused of stealing pills, but that of a renowned Alchemy Emperor.

If the Alchemy Emperor's alchemy skills were second in the world, no one would dare to claim first.

Whether it was the emperor of the Holy Dynasty, the Supreme Martial Master, or the fairy of the Nine Heavens, they had all once exhausted their wealth to obtain a single pill personally refined by the Alchemy Emperor.

No one knew that the Alchemy Emperor, in his youth, was actually a discarded disciple of a sect.

At the age of fifteen, he was wrongly accused of stealing pills, expelled from the sect, and had his dantian destroyed, leading to a life of aimlessness.

It wasn't until he was thirty, when he was discovered by the Green Phoenix Alchemy Venerable, who was passing through this continent, that his life changed. The Green Phoenix Alchemy Venerable, recognizing his astonishing talent in alchemy, took him back to the Alchemy Domain.

In just a few short years, he surpassed the Green Phoenix Alchemy Venerable in alchemy and became a renowned Alchemy Emperor.

However, despite his glorious life, he still longed for martial cultivation in his heart. But his dantian had been destroyed when he was expelled from the sect, and he had missed the best time for repair. Even with his unparalleled alchemy skills, he could not restore his damaged dantian to its original state.

This became his lifelong regret, as a renowned Alchemy Emperor, he could not even enter the first realm of martial cultivation.

Although he possessed numerous supreme martial cultivation secrets, he could not practice them himself, leaving him with only a vast theoretical knowledge of martial cultivation.

It wasn't until several decades later that he finally comprehended the supreme Wheel of Rebirth Dao Intent and refined a legendary Thousand Autumns Dream Pill.

Initially, he had only tried it out, but unexpectedly, this Thousand Autumns Dream Pill actually allowed him to reverse time and reincarnation, returning him to his youth.

And he returned precisely to the day when he was fifteen and wrongly accused of stealing pills.

This day was the turning point of his life!

His dantian was destroyed, he was expelled from the sect, and he became a useless person...

All the subsequent tragedies began from this day!

Now that he has returned, to the moment just before his dantian was destroyed!

This time, everything can still be salvaged!

"Su Chen!"

At this moment, a thunderous voice echoed.

"You stole ten Qi Gathering Pills from the sect, and the evidence is clear. Are you still denying it? Confess quickly!"

An old man with gray hair, wearing a star and moon robe, pointed at Su Chen and shouted with a powerful voice.

The old man was the Starfall Elder, responsible for alchemy in the Zhengyi Sect, and he was the one who testified that Su Chen had stolen the ten Qi Gathering Pills he had just refined.

However, Su Chen knew that the charge of stealing ten Qi Gathering Pills was a complete frame-up.

It was because his martial talent was too outstanding, and in just three years after joining the Zhengyi Sect, he had cultivated to the Seventh Level of Qi Induction, achieving what many could not in ten years, causing a sensation in the entire Zhengyi Sect.

At the same time, it also aroused the jealousy of Lu Yuan, the Starfall Elder's direct disciple.

Lu Yuan feared that Su Chen would surpass him and eventually affect his position as the top disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, so he colluded with his master, the Starfall Elder, to stage a plot to frame Su Chen for stealing pills.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, dressed in white and looking like a celestial being, slowly walked over, leisurely waving a folding fan, and looked down at Su Chen, saying lightly, "Little Brother Su, the evidence is clear. Confess early to avoid unnecessary suffering."

Ha ha!

You are going to destroy my dantian and expel me from the sect, and you still say you are sparing me suffering?

Even the Alchemy Emperor's calm and composed heart could not help but feel a surge of anger, thinking of the hardships he endured for the next fifteen years, he almost wanted to kill the old man and the young man in front of him immediately.

However, he still suppressed his emotions.

In his previous life, he had many regrets, the greatest of which was being stripped of his dantian.

Even though he later became a renowned Alchemy Emperor and enjoyed a glorious life, the past regret could not be remedied.

Now that heaven has given him a second chance, he must restart his life and reverse all his regrets.

The first thing to reverse is the destruction of his dantian!

In his previous life, because the evidence of stealing Qi Gathering Pills was clear and irrefutable, even though he refused to confess, he was still stripped of his dantian in front of everyone.

This time, the same thing will not happen again.

At this moment, facing the Starfall Elder's questioning and Lu Yuan's hidden malice, Su Chen's expression was contemptuous, and he chuckled, uttering eight words:

"False accusations, what lack of words?"

For a moment, the Starfall Elder thought he had heard wrong.

"What did you say? Are you accusing this old man of slandering you?" The Starfall Elder pointed at Su Chen, looking very angry.

In reality, the Starfall Elder was shocked by Su Chen's contemptuous gaze.

A strange intuition made the Starfall Elder feel that Su Chen, this young disciple, had changed.

In the past, although Su Chen had outstanding talent, he was still a fifteen-year-old boy, with many immature aspects in his mindset and behavior.

But now, Su Chen's contemptuous gaze and his domineering aura made him seem like a natural superior, looking down on them like ants.

To say nothing of the current situation, if it were the old Su Chen, he would never have dared to defy them like this.

But now, Su Chen not only showed no fear but also looked down on everyone.

He sneered, "Ha, is it not? You and your good disciple Lu Yuan planned this whole thing to frame me, and you want me to confess?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the punishment disciples immediately rebuked, "How dare you slander the top disciple of the sect!"

"Look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you are worth Lu Yuan's attention?"

Even the ordinary disciples around them mostly thought Su Chen had gone mad and was making false accusations.

"Lu Yuan is much stronger than Su Chen, how could he frame him?"

"Su Chen is shameless, stealing pills and then accusing others!"

Even the Starfall Elder sneered, "You stole the pills, and the evidence is clear. Are you accusing this old man?"

"Evidence?"

Su Chen sneered, "Are you talking about the ten Qi Gathering Pills found in my residence?"

"Exactly. You stole ten Qi Gathering Pills from this old man's alchemy room when he wasn't paying attention and hid them in your residence. The evidence is clear, and you still want to deny it?" The Starfall Elder sneered.

"If I could casually refine Qi Gathering Pills, would I need to go through such trouble to steal them?"

When Su Chen said this, the hall fell silent.

The next moment, the crowd was in an uproar!

"What is Su Chen saying? He can casually refine Qi Gathering Pills?"

"Absolutely ridiculous, who doesn't know that only the Starfall Elder can refine Qi Gathering Pills in the entire Zhengyi Sect?"

"What is Su Chen? He has never been known to refine pills before?"
