NOVPUBThe Taoist Clan celebrated as a whole today, with throngs of clanspeople lining both sides of the street.
Today was not only Dao Tianyun’s birthday but also his coming-of-age ceremony.
Each year, the Taoist Clan would select a Saint Heir to compete for the Destiny of the era.
And although Dao Tianyun had not yet begun his cultivation, as the son of the Clan Leader, his every move attracted much attention.
...
The platform for the coming-of-age ceremony had been prepared, and the clanspeople on either side of the street cheered.
Dao Tianyun slowly ascended the steps, one by one, as if bathing in the spring breeze.
He stood in the very center of the martial stage, flanked by the Taoist Clan’s higher-ups.
Below, some cheered, with flower petals from the wind-blown flowers filling the sky.
It was a grand coming-of-age ceremony.
"I," Dao Tianyun slowly lifted his head, for some reason today, during his coming-of-age ceremony, his mind was a blank.
It was as if his memory had been erased by something, and his consciousness was in a daze.
"Tianyun, quickly say something," someone beside him urged.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, followed by a "boom" that echoed mid-air.
Then there was the crackling of electricity.
All of a sudden, Dao Tianyun stiffened, feeling as if a thunderclap had exploded within his memories.
It was as if many memories that didn’t belong to him were being forcefully infused into him.
"Am I Dao Tianyun, or?"
He knelt on the ground, clutching his head and roaring, this anomaly immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.
A very powerful aura burst forth from all around him.
After a long time, he slowly stood up.
His aura was proud, and his eyes emitted a very strange vibe.
Standing on the martial stage, he said just one sentence before collapsing to the ground.
"My name is Reincarnation, and I shall walk the invincible path once more."
...
Xu Zimei left Ten Thousand Arrays City, heading toward the Extreme West Region.
The shortest route from the Eastern Continent to the Extreme West Region naturally lay through the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He lay atop the Dark Heaven Tiger, in no hurry along the way.
Travelling on the broad imperial road, Xu Zimei encountered more and more people.
"Have you heard? Something big has happened to the Huang Family."
"Which Huang Family?" someone asked curiously.
"Which else, but the Huang Family of Northwest City."
"Ah, the family with the legacy of the Sword God!" the person beside exclaimed, then asked.
"What happened to the Huang Family?"
"They say there’s a castaway from their family seeking revenge on the Huang Family.
There’s going to be quite the spectacle to watch."
Listenting to the discussions of the passersby, Xu Zimei was slightly stunned.
These people were all rushing to watch the excitement at the Huang Family.
Yan Buhui was a member of the Huang Family, but Xu Zimei was unsure if the castaway these people were talking about was Yan Buhui.
He decided to go and see for himself.
...…
Northwest City is located within the territory governed by the Dan Family.
The founder of their family, the Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint of that time, was also a Talented Disciple and was even touted as a hot favorite to win Destiny of that era.
The Dan Family even sought to curry favor with the Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint by separating Northwest City and gifting it to him.
Later, Northwest City became the private territory of the Huang Family.
Although Northwest City was within the territory governed by the Dan Family, it was not under their jurisdiction at all.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint of that time did not make it to the end.
In the end, it was a man named Yin Tian who fought through thorns and thistles, bearing the Destiny of that era.
As for the ultimate fate of the Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Some say he died in the last battle fighting for destiny against Emperor Yintian.
Others say he stepped into immortality and ultimately hid somewhere within the Huang Family, where he began to earnestly cultivate in seclusion.
However, no matter which ending took place, it cannot change the fact that the Huang Family is now a powerful first-rate force.
Destroying the Huang Family would be impossible without the power of someone who has stepped into immortality.
Xu Zimei rode the Dark Heaven Tiger, following the crowd towards Northwest City.
Along the way, he inquired a little and finally understood that the person wanting to destroy the Huang Family was none other than Yan Buhui.
A few days ago, Yan Buhui had issued a challenge to the Huang Family, seeking justice for the death of his mother and the unfair treatment he had suffered over the years.
The last time Xu Zimei saw Yan Buhui was in Mixed Yuan Ancient City.
The other had defeated Qin Feiming and had followed him to the Heaven Edge Pavilion to accept the inheritance of the Eternal Sword God.
In such a short period of time, Xu Zimei did not believe that he had the strength to destroy the Huang Family.
The only explanation must be that he was relying on external help.
......
The massive city stood tall between heaven and earth.
Viewed from the northwest, at sunset, the halo of the setting sun is on the same horizontal line as the city.
It’s as if the sunset is falling into the city, rendering half the sky with its beauty.
The Huang Family has been operating in Northwest City for thousands of years, deeply rooted.
It has become an existence akin to a overlord.
Northwest City is very vast, and it is not just the people of the Huang Family who live here.
When Xu Zimei arrived, it was already dusk.
The city was brightly lit, and due to the arrival of many outsiders, it seemed very lively.
Xu Zimei found an inn and quietly awaited Yan Buhui’s arrival.
In the past life, it was a hundred years later when Yan Buhui came to the Huang Family for revenge.
But in this life, Xu Zimei changed Yan Buhui’s life to a certain extent.
Still, Xu Zimei was not optimistic about Yan Buhui’s chances.
Although Heaven Edge Pavilion was powerful, they wouldn’t gather the full force of their sect for the sake of Yan Buhui’s personal vendetta to strike at the Huang Family, would they?
More importantly, Yan Buhui had never gone to the Central Continent.
The Heaven Edge Pavilion he belonged to was merely a branch on the Eastern Continent.
This strength indeed still fell short of attacking the Huang Family.
Because Xu Zimei knew a piece of information.
The Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint was actually still alive.
In his previous life, Xu Zimei had once seen Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint from afar.
With the existence of the Heaven Wasteland Sword Saint, even some Imperial Rule Immortal Sects could contend with the Huang Family.
It seemed that the people of the Huang Family were still unaware of the existence of their ancestor.
......
A night without words, the still-drowsy city was suddenly awakened by a clap of thunder.
A "boom" resounded, shocking everyone in the entire city.
Many people ran out of their rooms to look towards the outside of the city.
They saw a group of people treading through the sky, clad in white, rapidly approaching from afar.
The one leading was Yan Buhui.
After a long absence, the current Yan Buhui had grown a lot.
His aura was condensed, and the demeanor of the Esteem Vein Realm echoed around him.
That unique Sword Intent spread across the heaven and earth, enduring and sharp.
"Where are the people of the Huang Family?" a voice thundered across the sky.
The people following Yan Buhui shouted with high spirits.
Located at the most central part of Northwest City, the Huang Family was situated here.
At this moment, spiritual energy was also pervading the firmament, as the Family Head of the Huang Family, Huang Guyuan, led many elders to rise through the sky.
They stood opposite Yan Buhui from afar.
"My revered father, did you ever anticipate this day," Yan Buhui stood at the forefront, asking in an indifferent voice.
