Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

"Jing Shu! How can you face the family that has worked so hard to raise you?!" The middle-aged man lying on the ground was covered in blood, and blood was still flowing from the wound on his chest. Behind him was an ancient house that was burning fiercely.

"Are you done talking?" A man walked up to the man, his cold voice devoid of any emotion. "It's time for you to go."

The man reached out his hand to him.

"No, no!" The head of the Jing family looked terrified and tried to struggle, but his tendons in his hands and feet had already been severed, and he could not move at all.

"Click——"

After a cracking sound, the Jing family head fell silent, his expression frozen in that moment.

Jing Shu grabbed the corpse by the neck and threw it toward the fire.

Jing Shu breathed a sigh of relief; it was over.

The sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.

How could a raging fire go unnoticed?

Should I run away? Forget it, I'm too tired...

Behind the Jing family's old residence lies a sheer cliff.

Jing Shu arrived at the back of the old house in an instant and pulled off the jade pendant he always wore.

The ancient jade passed down by the Jing family no longer needs to exist.

Jing Shu clenched his fist, crushing the jade into powder in his hand. However, unseen by Jing Shu, a faint beam of light pierced through the powder and entered his palm.

I hope in the next life... Oh well, whatever... Jing Shu is too lazy to think about it anymore.

Half an hour later——

Jing Shu couldn't describe his current feelings; to put it bluntly, he was speechless.

He just jumped off a cliff. Even if the cliff was deep, he shouldn't have fallen to the bottom by now!

Jing Shu turned around in mid-air and looked down, only to find that he couldn't see anything clearly, not even the cliff next to him.

How is this going?

Jing Shu frowned slightly. Fine, in this situation, it seems Heaven doesn't want him to die, and Jing Shu no longer has the will to die.

He then released his spiritual energy to shield his entire body, slowing his descent. Jing Shu's cultivation level was top-tier in modern times, where spiritual energy was scarce—late-stage Golden Core. This was thanks to the Jing family, though they remained convinced until their deaths that he was only at the early-stage Golden Core, believing he was still under their control.

Suddenly, Jing Shu saw a layer of light, but that was all he saw. The descent was too fast; he passed through it before he could react.

Beyond the light film lies the high altitude!

A vast sky!

Jing Shu was surprised, but he managed to keep his body suspended in mid-air. He hadn't stopped earlier because he wanted to go down, but who would have thought he would crash into that layer of light membrane?

Here, where is it?

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the scenery is beautiful. Unlike modern times, the air here is fresher, and even the spiritual energy... no, spiritual energy!

Done!

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy surged uncontrollably towards Jing Shu, and Jing Shu's cultivation level directly increased from the late stage of Golden Core to the Great Perfection, and it was still rising!

Jing Shu landed on the ground and sat cross-legged.

"boom--"

The barrier of the Nascent Soul stage was broken, and heavenly lightning gathered above Jing Shu's head. If anyone were present, they would have realized that this heavenly lightning was not of the Nascent Soul stage at all; it was clearly of the strength of the Out-of-Body stage!

Jing Shu had no choice but to tough it out. Fortunately, the spiritual energy was plentiful, and Jing Shu was not afraid at all.

However, spiritual energy continued to flow in after the tribulation.

Damn it! I should never have crushed the ancient jade! It was going to burst if it kept going like this. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Jing Shu's mouth.

Suddenly, a point of light appeared in Jing Shu's dantian, and spiritual energy seemed to have an outlet, surging over there.

Jing Shu felt a sudden release in his body and then fainted.

After three days and three nights of tireless work, he devised a scheme to annihilate the Jing family. He fought a powerful battle against the Jing family, and then endured a tribulation of lightning; Jing Shu's body reached its limit.

He felt dizzy, and the light spots within his body became even more rampant. Having absorbed all his spiritual energy, they then began to absorb his cultivation. His newly formed nascent soul was directly sucked in.

Golden Core… Foundation Establishment… Qi Refining… Jing Shu’s body also changed accordingly.

The light spots only stopped when all of Jing Shu's cultivation was gone. Jing Shu's body also stopped absorbing spiritual energy.

Then, the surrounding scenery began to change. The green that represented life was quietly fading away, dust filled the air, the sky darkened, and powerful gusts of wind began to form, tearing apart the creatures that had passed by.

A figure in icy blue appeared silently. The gale seemed to sense its presence and rushed towards the person, but stopped three feet away, unable to move forward at all.

I clearly sensed a surge of spiritual energy from the sacred mountain just now, so how did it disappear?

Han Luo frowned slightly, and just as he was about to leave, he sensed a faint presence.

Han Luo walked towards the location he sensed, his brows furrowing even deeper. It was a child!

Hanluo picked up the child and examined him closely. It seemed to be a boy; his clothes were tattered and his whole body was as black as charcoal, so dirty…

Hanluo was a little disgusted and cast a cleaning spell on the boy.

The boy revealed his fair and delicate skin and slightly chubby face.

The child is good-looking. Han Luo poked the child's cheek; it felt nice to the touch.

The surrounding gale seemed to sense that it was being ignored by the person in front of it, and it became even more rampant.

Han Luo finally realized that this place was not a good place to stay, and left with the child.
