The yellow sand was everywhere and a horse was galloping away in the dust.
On the long ancient road, a golden cloud-studded train was being driven by nine horses, galloping wildly. The best fierce horses were galloping side by side, like silver snow rolling, which was quite spectacular. The body of the train faintly flashed with the fluctuation of a suspected divine symbol, and the old driver looked calm and relaxed, as if lifting a heavy load with ease... All of this showed the nobility of the people in the train.
There was a lazy boy in the car.
Judging from the appearance of this young man, he is about seventeen years old, with fair skin, delicate features, and a rather elegant temperament. He is dressed in a white robe with no floral pattern on it, and he is not holding the light-sleeved pleated fan that is the favorite of the noble sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He only has a piece of unpolished jade on his waist, but he looks naturally noble.
At this moment, he was lying in the golden cloud-inlaid train with his legs crossed, using his hand as a pillow, a soft white cloud blanket beneath him, a handful of fluffy fox fur in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking.
The boy's name is Chu Tianxiao. He is the leader of the thirty-six divine marquises in the Great Zhou, the first person in the Great Zhou to enter the Heavenly Dao through the Way of Business, the second richest man in the Great Zhou, the magnificent purple-robed marquis whose mansion is located in the center of Tianjue City, and the only son of Chu Zhongyi!
In a word, he has a perfect father - a really good father, who not only does not believe in "stick education" at all, but has never said a harsh word to him since he was a child, and dotes on him like crazy... Normally, Chu Tianxiao should be extremely happy that he is on his way home to see such a father, but now he is... confused.
"I'm alive?"
Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath and looked around. Before he could figure it out, a lot of confusing information suddenly flooded into his mind. Even though he had lived two lives and his mind had been tempered to be extremely firm, he squatted down slightly in pain at this moment.
The chaos lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided. Chu Tianxiao endured the discomfort and quickly sorted out the information in his mind...
The continent where he is now is called "the vast land of China". It is the place where the human race is revived according to ancient legends. Powerful practitioners are born here in large numbers. The so-called practitioners are mortals who use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a medium, practice with their physical bodies, comprehend the will of heaven and earth, and strengthen themselves. They are also called practitioners.
At the beginning of the path of cultivation, one has a sudden enlightenment and then advances to the realm of refining truth. After the twelve major stages of refining truth are completed, one can reach the state of knowing the mind and the origin, which is the state of Mingyuan. Afterwards, one searches up and down and enters the state of Tongxuan. After that, one uses spiritual consciousness to refine the soul and enlighten the spirit, which is the state of Qihun. Finally, one understands the spiritual heart and feels happy with heaven and man, which is the state of Lingyue.
Lianzhen, Mingyuan, Tongxuan, Qihun, Lingyue... these five realms are collectively referred to as the Five Realms by the world!
Among them, the fifth realm, the Spiritual Joy realm, is extremely rare and is revered by the world as a "great cultivator". In this continent dominated by cultivators, almost every monarch of a powerful empire is a great cultivator. Among them, the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Zhou, Lu Xuan, who is known as the "Emperor of the Ages", is the strongest. It has been seven years since his last attack, and no one knows his current true realm. All we know is that in the battle seven years ago, he killed a strong man who had just entered the Spiritual Joy realm with almost no effort!
At the same time, Emperor Wu of Zhou was extremely wise. Under his rule, the Great Zhou Dynasty became the most powerful empire in the entire Shenzhou, with the strongest national power, the largest territory, and the largest number of cultivators serving under his command. There are rumors that within twenty years, Emperor Zhou will launch a war to unify the continent, but it is unknown whether it is true or not...
"Am I traveling through time? Taking over someone else's body? Or something else?" After sorting out his thoughts, Chu Tianxiao fell into confusion. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have suffered a severe shock and fell into a coma. He didn't know how long it had been, but when he opened his eyes, he was here.
"Forget it... I'll just make the best of it. I just don't know what my identity is now?" Chu Tianxiao carefully went over the "self" in his memory. After sorting it out, he found that there were only three points he needed to care about.
But just these three points made Chu Tianxiao feel a headache.
First, his cultivation was at the lowest level of the first level of Refining Truth. He was already seventeen years old, and had just crossed the initial enlightenment stage of a cultivator - don't get me wrong, this was not a matter of aptitude. In fact, as the son of the Purple-Robed Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was born with a secret method passed down through his bloodline. Chu Tianxiao's talent was not astounding, but it was definitely first-rate in the world.
The reason why his realm of cultivation is so poor is just because of one word - laziness.
Second, he is a... prodigal son!
Yes, a prodigal son, and the number one prodigal son in Tianjue City and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty! Although he was not a playboy who flirted with decent women on the street, he traveled through time and space to become a prodigal son who would go out on the street to give money on the first and fifteenth day of every month and on festivals, and he even called it "helping the people"... It still made Chu Tianxiao laugh and cry.
It is worth mentioning that as the most powerful empire in China, the trade of the Great Zhou Dynasty has long been prosperous. There is no shortage of natural treasures for sale, medicinal fields and caves to be purchased, and even ferocious beasts, chariots, flying boats, spiritual places, and even some open secret ruins... As long as your level is high enough, there is nothing you cannot buy, only what you cannot think of!
Here, money is not everything, but it can do something good!
In order to facilitate transactions, the Great Zhou Dynasty even invented a crystal card that only high-ranking officials and nobles were qualified to use. This crystal card was equivalent to a small space storage ring, but because of the design ideas when forging, it was currently only used to store the only currency of the Great Zhou Dynasty - spirit coins.
It is so impressive, and can store a large amount of spirit coins. You only need to fill it with spirit energy and swipe it to see the balance. It is simple and convenient. As soon as this crystal card came out, it was very popular because of its convenience. Nowadays, a crystal card has become a symbol of high-end status. Not to mention other things, the minimum recharge for applying for a regular high-end crystal card at "Tongyingsi" is 100,000 spirit coins! What does this number mean? Let's put it this way, ordinary people under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty can live for a month with a thousand spirit coins if they are frugal, and only five or six thousand if they are extravagant...
It can be said that in the Great Zhou, not having a crystal card does not necessarily mean you are not noble, but if you have a crystal card, you are either rich or noble!
For example, for someone of Chu Tianxiao's status, if you don't have five or six crystal cards as a backup, you'd be embarrassed to say hello to others when you go out!
"This is really a good soil for a spendthrift family... No wonder my predecessor became a spendthrift..."
Chu Tianxiao secretly shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. If this point alone made him helpless, then the third point... would be really fatal!
"Nowadays, this world... is actually an era where wild flowers are blooming and the right man is everywhere?"
"Although I don't remember any obvious words like 'Son of the Chosen One', which means that this title is not very popular, but the plot is definitely a necessary experience for the Son of the Chosen One..."
"For example..."
Chu Tianxiao's expression gradually became solemn, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in his mind...
"Qin Yun is the seventeenth son of Qin Chuyang, the Great Zhou Divine Marquis. He was born to a maidservant and has a sister named Jiaojiao, who is famous for her beauty."
"Qin Yun gained his first enlightenment at the age of four in Tianjue City. He performed mediocrely in the following years and was promoted to the 'first level of refining the truth' at the age of seven. However, within three years, he suddenly exerted his strength and crossed the 'third level of refining the truth' and the 'sixth level of refining the truth'. The following year, he pursued the 'twelfth level of refining the truth'. When he was fourteen years old, he finally succeeded in advancing to the lower realm of Mingyuan with an unrepeatable opportunity! In terms of his trump card and true combat power, he can almost cross the border to fight against the peak of Mingyuan! He may not win, but it is more than enough to save his life!"
"He is truly a genius! The number one talent in Tianjue City!"
As Chu Tianxiao thought about it, his expression became more and more solemn.
"Who would have thought that three years ago, Qin Yun went astray and his power dropped dramatically. Today, he has become a useless person at the first level of the True Refining Realm..."
"And he has a fiancée, her surname is Mu, and she is a famous person..."
"Then... Qin Yun suffered a great change, his mentality was unbalanced, and he abused her. And I have known her since childhood. Three years ago, she took the opportunity to escape under my protection? Even... I promised her in person that when I return from my trip, I will help her cancel this marriage?"
"This matter has not been concealed at all!"
Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but stand up when he thought of this. He pressed his forehead and recalled and analyzed the situation in his mind with a headache...
"Rumor has it that Qin Yun has been carrying a relic of his parents since he was a child—a black, dirty ring!"
"There are even rumors that Qin Yun's nominal 'sister' Qin Jiaojiao actually has no Qin family blood, but she 'dotes' on Qin Yun to such an extent that the relationship doesn't even resemble that of a brother and sister!"
Chu Tianxiao pressed his forehead...
Grandpa... Queen... All of them!
Qin Yun is definitely the loser's destined prince!
Chu Tianxiao sighed secretly. Now that Qin Yun's three-year tribulation is about to end, he will probably wait for me to bring people to his house to cancel the engagement... No, maybe he won't even have to wait for me to cancel the engagement. As soon as the engagement is canceled, he will start a crazy and dazzling journey with the grandfather protecting him and the queen paving the way, soaring into the sky and becoming the king? Then... I, who helped his fiancée to seek justice, naturally became the sinner who "destroyed the concubine's entry into the arms of her true son", and was naturally listed as the first target to be killed. I couldn't survive a few chapters before I was taken away by a set of gorgeous serial killing moves without even taking a breath, and became the first stepping stone on his road to dominance
What's more troublesome is that after Chu Tianxiao thought about it carefully, he found that even if he regretted it on the spot and didn't bring Mu Liuling to cancel the engagement, this matter... could not be resolved amicably.
Because... Firstly, no one knows whether the promise "I" made three years ago has already been known to Qin Yun; secondly, even if I am extremely lucky and Qin Yun is still kept in the dark, can't the hostile forces hide something? You must know that the Chu family is very big, and too many people are deeply dissatisfied with this prodigal son who "can do whatever he wants because he has a great father". The hostile forces can be said to have the intention to destroy me! Who knows if they have hidden people in Tianjue City
Internal and external troubles...
Chu Tianxiao sighed, his brain working rapidly.
"Don't even think about begging for mercy. Good people are often bullied. You really like to show off. Are you asking for a beating by coming to my door?"
"It's not possible to stop the car and run away... This ancient road is vast and uninhabited, and ferocious beasts appear from time to time. There is no way for me, a first-level cultivator, to survive. Besides, I'm not the destined son of heaven. If I want to walk and pick up treasures, there's no chance of encountering a secret realm when I land. Even if there is a great opportunity here, it won't be my turn..."
Chu Tianxiao thought of more than ten ways to escape, but unfortunately none of them worked.
After confirming that he had no way to retreat, Chu Tianxiao's mind gradually became firm and his eyes focused.
"It seems that we can only fight head-on."
Chu Tianxiao pondered in his heart that he still remembered most of what he had learned before, but he didn't expect that because of the conflicting memories, those familiar skills would give him a headache just thinking about them!
Now, he can only use this "skill" that is deeply rooted in his body...
However... Chu Tianxiao racked his brains, but finally found out helplessly that "he" actually didn't know anything...
The only thing he can do is... spendthrift!
Yes, it will only ruin the family...
"… Do you want me to use the means of ruining my family to deal with the prince charming who is about to become powerful and his perverted team?"
Taking a deep breath, Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but raise his middle finger to the sky and sighed.
At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from my brain, as if it was the aftermath of the conflict of memories just now, but it was somewhat different...
Before Chu Tianxiao could react, a cold voice sounded in his ears.
"The universe's number one military force, the prodigal son training plan is launched... The great prodigal son system, try to activate it!"
"Matching..."
"Ding Di... Detected that the host is not a prodigal son both physically and mentally, the match is 51%... Matching failed."
"Please choose whether to carry out soul fusion? After the fusion, the host will completely become the number one soldier in the universe - the prodigal son, and it will not affect the host's original memory judgment... Please choose, if you proceed, this system will take action immediately, otherwise, this system will collapse along with the host...!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao was shocked. He thought, is there any question? If he doesn't merge, he will die. If he merges, he still has a chance of survival!
Chu Tianxiao made his choice without hesitation.
As his mind moved, the cold sound continued to drip, and it lasted for a while, and finally...
“Ding… Matching rate 91%… Matching successful!”
"Big Prodigal System, data adjustment completed, loading completed... Officially launched!"
"Confirmed host: Chu Tianxiao... Binding successful."
"Current system level: Level 1."
“Now releasing a long-term continuous main quest: I abused my destiny thousands of times, the prodigal son vs. the prince charming!”
"Explanation: The Prince of Fortune, the king of the universe! If the prodigal doesn't come out, who can compete with him? As a prodigal, you must behave like a prodigal. No matter what Prince of Fortune he is, if he dares to stand in your way, you will kill him with money! No matter how high the Prince of Fortune is, he is afraid of money burning!"
"It is detected that there is a useless man with a hatred value of more than 50 points towards the host within the target range... The first step of the specific main task is being analyzed and generated..."
"Task generation completed—"
“I: Novice Trial—A collision of ice and fire. Don’t look down on the poor youngster!”
