In September 2007, a passenger ship was heading to Tianhai City.
On the deck of the ship's bow, a young man was staring blankly at the surging river.
He was handsome with clear eyes, his appearance was not flashy, yet soothing to look at.
He was dressed ordinarily, just like an everyday person, but there was an indescribable aura about him that was not to be underestimated.
"What's before my eyes is not an illusion, nor a fantasy..."
"It seems I have really reincarnated, returned to Earth, right back to my first year of university."
The young man sighed softly. Half an hour ago, he had already confirmed it but still felt somewhat surreal.
Lin Feng, the twenty-first generation disciple of Xuantian Sect, the sole heir to the ancient Xuantian Art.
Originally, he was merely an ordinary person, but by a twist of fate, he entered the realm of cultivation, attained the ancient Xuantian Art, step by step he practiced, defied the heavens, suppressed all enemies, and finally stood atop all paths, becoming the supreme among immortals.
Xuantian Immortal Sovereign, Lin Feng, also known as Lin Xuantian.
"The Four Great Heavenly Emperors, in order to obtain the ancient Xuantian Art, you actually disregarded your statuses as emperors, shamelessly attacked me, even went as far as using the ancient Immortal Punishing Array and the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, unfortunately, I, Lin Xuantian was born under a lucky star, now I have returned to Earth!"
"One day, I, Lin Xuantian, will return to reclaim everything that belonged to me, and step on all of you."
"Heh, I'm really looking forward to the arrival of that day, what about you?"
Lin Feng revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, a trace of chill surfacing in his eyes.
He sensed his body, the ancient Xuantian Art was dormant like a crouching dragon, the overwhelming mana that could hold the sun and moon in one hand and shatter stars with a snap of his fingers was now non-existent.
His personal treasures, the spiritual vein, divine root, and the Ancient Mysterious Sky Sword were all gone. All that was left was a vestige of Mysterious Sky energy protecting his body.
Despite having lost all his cultivation and having become a mere mortal, Lin Feng didn't feel depressed at all. Rather, he laughed cheerfully.
"It's better this way. I advanced too quickly in my past life and my foundation was not stable. Having the memory from my previous life, in this one, I must strive to lay down the strongest foundation!"
"Beep beep beep…"
His thoughts were interrupted by a phone ring. Seeing the caller display, Lin Feng felt a wave of long-lost emotions in his heart. It made his nose sour.
"Sister!"
"Feng brother, are you okay? It was reported that there was an uprising in Longjiang, with many boats capsized amid the tumultuous waves. I worried myself sick. Thank heavens you're safe," the voice of his sister was heard through the phone.
"Haha, I am a man of great fortune, how can something happen to me?" Lin Feng responded with a smile.
After thousands of years, hearing his sister Lin Xue's cautioning words and concern again made his heart wistful and touched.
In the cultivation world, he was the decisive and ruthless Supreme Immortal, Lin Xuantian!
But in front of his family, he was still the pure-hearted Lin Feng!
"Don't play dumb with me. Remember to let me know when you get to Skysea. Also, Qianyu was my bestie back in college, don't be shy with her. Eat her food, drink her drinks—if you can get her in bed, even better. Hehe…"
While speaking, she couldn't help giggling:
"Hehe...Let me tell you, Qianyu was voted the most beautiful girl in our college—super gorgeous. If you can win her heart, you will have to treat me with respect every time you see me. How great would that be! Feng brother, go for it, and conquer this little vixen. I'll be waiting for the good news."
"In my eyes, no one is more beautiful than you, sister!"
Without batting an eyelid, Lin Feng said these words, yet he couldn't help but find it amusing in his heart. What kind of sister would encourage her brother to make a move on her gorgeous best friend?
"Hehe, always the sweet talker, aren’t you?”
He hung up the phone, gazing calmly at the surging river, while an image of a tall, beautiful figure rose in his mind — Ye Qingyu!
When thinking of Ye Qingyu, naturally he would recall the major event that had changed his life.
Upon his first arrival in Tianhai, Ye Qingyu took care of him like a younger brother, with great meticulousness, so much so that Lin Feng once doubted whether she had feelings for him.
But as a star like Ye Qingyu, her aura was strong. In his past life, when he was fresh out of school and inexperienced, he felt unworthy of her, so he secretely admired her for a long time, but in the end, he never confessed his feelings.
There were many pursuers around Ye Qingyu, but none caught her interest. To ward off the persistent ones, she pulled Lin Feng to act as her shield, and he naturally agreed.
Until the appearance of a man named Zhao Chunyang, who completely changed his life.
"If I'm not wrong, the Zhao family should still be the richest in Qingzhou now..."
Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. In his past life, the Zhao family had been unattainable, but in this life, what did they amount to in his eyes?
As the son of the richest man in Tianhai, Zhao Chunyang looked down on everyone. He humiliated him in front of all the university teachers and students, later even had someone break both his legs and his hands, making him a cripple who couldn’t even take care of himself.
Even his family was implicated. His father died in a car accident. His company got suppressed and eventually went bankrupt, getting acquired by Longteng Group.
His sister, Lin Xue, remained unmarried her entire life in order to take care of him. She worked day and night to earn money for his medical treatments, and ultimately died suddenly at work.
For the following ten years, he lived in derision and disdain, a life no better than a dog's, even surviving by begging, which led to him losing all hope at one point. Finally, he jumped into Long River, unexpectedly ending up in the Cultivation World.
Even if he became an Immortal Venerable, he couldn't bring his father and sister back to life; this was his greatest regret in his past life.
Lin Feng silently vowed that in this life, no one would be able to endanger his father or sister again!
Even gods wouldn't be able to!
"Enemies from my past life, the humiliation you've bestowed upon me, I shall repay it in this life!"
Lin Feng's expression was stern, a hint of coldness brewing in his eyes.
At that moment, a baby-like, tender voice rang in his ears.
"Big brother, I have candy for you!"
Lin Feng turned around to find a little girl all rosy and doll-like, about four or five years old. Her chubby little face, big dark pupils were particularly adorable.
The little girl, innocent and lively, stretched her delicate hand, standing on her toes to pass a rabbit milk candy to Lin Feng, saying: "When Yiyi is upset, a piece of candy makes it all better!"
"Big brother, you eat quickly."
Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then understood. The innocent little girl saw him standing alone on the deck and thought he was upset, so she offered him a candy.
He smiled slightly, stooped to be level with the little girl and softly said: "Big brother is not upset, He doesn't need the candy."
"Really?"
The innocent-faced little girl asked.
Lin Feng nodded with a smile,
"You're Yiyi?"
"The little bird depends on someone like Yi."
"Yi Yi, can you put away the big white rabbit, and next time when you're feeling down, can you eat it then?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay." The little girl, sweet as sugar, consented with a nod.
"Yi Yi, has your aunt ever told you not to talk to strangers? What if you run into bad guys?"
At this point, a crisp and lovely voice resounded, laced with deep fondness.
"Oh no, the devil auntie is here!"
The little girl whispered, as if she were a child guilty of mischief trying not to be found out, quickly hiding behind Lin Feng. She naively thought that if she covered her eyes, her aunt wouldn't see her.
Looking at the little girl's innocent manners, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
A young and good-looking woman came towards them from a distance. Her face was stunningly beautiful, her brow held a noble aura that couldn't be concealed. Even though she was not wearing any famous brand, the fabric of her outfit was obviously not commonplace, finely custom-made by the world’s top-tier private tailors, impeccable to the smallest detail, exuding an air of nobility.
"Please, stay away from her!"
The woman glanced at Lin Feng with a stoic expression, exhibiting her sense of nobility from the marrow of her bones. Her voice was cold, although seemingly polite, it made people uncomfortable.
Given her status and the powerful influence her family held in Qingzhou, it was only natural for her not to pay mind to an ordinary person.
