A new moon, a long dragon.

The Wu family, the Ye family, the Han family, and the Ling family have established the four main towers in the east, west, south, and north respectively, creating the four major families in the world.

Among them, the people of the Han family are not good at fighting with ordinary people, but they are good at disguising themselves. They are able to retreat unscathed in any situation, and their inherited illusion skills are ever-changing and beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Among the other three families, the Ling family is focused solely on swordsmanship and martial arts practice, avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

In the remaining two families, the Wu family excels in weapons, especially the renowned martial art skill showcased in the famous West Battle--the Wu family's top hidden weapon, the Thousand Jin Fist!

In the desolate year, the people of the Wu family established the Holy Emperor Empire in the Imperial City and gained control of the Central Land!

Thus, the empire system established by the Star Emperor Empire for more than two thousand years finally came to an end!

The desperate Star Emperor had no choice but to order a retreat back to the Eastern County.

The contemporary Martial Emperor, Wuduan Tian's father, Wuyan, was a wise ruler who understood the people's needs, and the new empire gained temporary popularity among the people.

However, the focus today is not on the ruling powers, the Wu family.

Rather, it is on the Ye family located in the northern region by the Qinghai Sea, a family largely unknown for two thousand years of turmoil on this vast continent!

A slight tremor shook the ground, as hundreds of soldiers wearing silver battle robes and helmets patrolled everywhere.

The signboard above the city gate clearly read four big characters: Ye Family Manor!

Although there were many guards around the Ye family, they were short on manpower. The Ye family's few million people were confined to just one solitary northern city.

Years ago, the head of the Ye family, Ye Zhen, was obsessed with the illusory level of celestial beings, and summoned millions of blacksmiths from all over the world to forge the highest level of celestial hierarchy, in an attempt to pursue eternal life.

"Alas, the Northern Region is no longer as prosperous as it used to be..."

Sitting on a simple armchair, an old man with gray long hair and thin eyebrows looked at the now desolate and lonely estate, unable to help but sigh.

"Indeed, ever since the Wu Dynasty Empire took control of the Central Land, our Northern Region has experienced a rare peace, but..."

A young and attractive woman with half her face covered with a veil sat next to the old man, her tone revealing some bitterness but also resignation.

Beneath her seemingly delicate green grass skirt, a trace of unfathomable spiritual energy seeped out.

The woman addressed the old man with great respect: "Father, is it really safe for my brother to be sent to the Ling family?"

"Well, at least it's safer than our former dominant Ye family in the Northern Region."

The old man's attitude remained firm. After all, years ago, the Ye family had encountered a strange phenomenon: a child with an imprint of a magnificent dragon and phoenix on his back.

This was the first time the Ye family in the Northern Region had encountered such a peculiar occurrence in five thousand years!

Family elders had researched similar cases and discovered that this mark was the symbol of the true son of the Dragon and Phoenix. There were only two people in history who had such a red and blue birthmark, and one of them later became the reigning West State Lady of the West State, Ling Linglang.

"And the other one...!"

The old man's eyes suddenly became strange, his tone unusually abrupt.

"It's the lord of the Northern Region, Ye Zhen!"

This Wu Zhen and Ye Zhen were once the most antagonistic rivals among the four major forces, like water and fire not mixing!

Before the desolate era, these two individuals were born in different periods.

But during that era, they both achieved a great feat, that is...

Pausing for effect, the old man deliberately held back and then slowly uttered: "Unifying the continent!"

"Unify the continent?!"

The shock on the faces of the woman and several other elders in the pavilion was palpable.

Who would have ever thought that someone from the Ye family would emerge as a conqueror capable of ruling the world? Before the desolate years, not even immortals could necessarily reach such heights.

It can be seen from this...

"A figure who can unify the continent? Perhaps only an Immortal Emperor under the heavens could achieve that!"

The new empire had not even lasted a hundred years yet, but remnants of the old empire's troops still lingered on as a shadow of their former selves.

Now, the past events that were caught between beauty and sorrow are vivid, but ultimately they were just fleeting illusions.

Perhaps his encounter with the past life would become one of the most profound memories amidst these moments of beauty and pain.

Speaking of Senior Sister, besides her outstanding beauty, the young girl was also talented and highly respected by many.

"I'm just a household servant, sigh," contemplating the injustice in the world and the unpredictable nature of reincarnation, Yi Fei couldn't bear it any longer, lamenting with a deadpan face, "Damn it, old man in the sky, what a damn trap!"

"How much longer do you intend to resist me?!"

In a roar, the sky suddenly lit up with flashes of dawn, and a torrential rain poured down immediately, mercilessly drenching Yi Fei's already damp clothes.

The rain in the mountains was always cold and desolate, the cave was in a lower position, quickly being flooded by the downpour, so Juxi had no choice but to wait patiently for the rain to stop at the cave's entrance.

Idly, he took out a worn-out dart badge from his chest, gently holding it in his hand, lost in thought.

"Well, rather than resenting the heavens, maybe it's better to take matters into our own hands. Perhaps after leaving the sect, our Ye family's street stall workshops can provide a better life than an ordinary family." Mocking himself, he seemed so weak!

The faith in Juxi's heart had already died countless times.

Unintentionally, the vast land resembling a great silver tree was just around the corner, but Juxi's approach was different from others; he was willing to be a mere toad in this small corner.

As drowsiness gradually swept over him, he closed his eyes completely.

"Juxi, wake up quickly... Stop sleeping!"

"Uh... mmm?"

Ye Juxi had just woken up from unconsciousness.

Perhaps due to excessive drinking the previous day, he still felt heavy, not fully recovered yet.

The scent of alcohol on his silk clothes had not dissipated, making Yukari deliberately avoid him.

"Let's go quickly," Yukari patted his back twice, then said, "Senior Brother Jiang Hai has not been found yet, we need to set off."

(Second floor, at the same time)

The sun had long exposed his backside to the sun, yet Yuanhui slept like a log, muttering in his sleep.

"Uh... mmm, Tong'er!"

In his dream, Yuanhui seemed to have returned to the martial arts family of his childhood...

Back then, the main branch of the martial arts family had successively transferred to the central plains, leaving some branches struggling in the eastern county.

One day, Yuanhui went to the remote mountains behind the eastern county's martial arts family to pick up pretty colorful stones. When he bent down to pick one up, a tender little hand swiftly snatched away the stone!

"Hehe, what the big sister sees first belongs to the big sister!"

To Yuanhui's surprise, the tender hand belonged to a black-haired girl with a very unpleasant face. Upon seeing the girl's appearance, the other children gasped in surprise and quickly scattered like a flock of birds.

"Oh no, it's that tomboy from the Wu family, don't get involved with her at all!" Several little boys shouted, but as soon as the girl glared at them fiercely, they immediately scattered and ran, leaving the girl alone with Yi Fei by the tranquil edge of the vast Longtan Pond.

Finally, the commotion quieted down. After carefully observing the strangely translucent colored stone, the girl exclaimed happily, "Hehe, I want to place it in my room, but... huh? It was shining brightly just now, why is it now dimmed?"

The stone lost its original color once in the girl's palm because it was the Philosopher's Stone, meant to be close to wise sages, and the possessive little girl could not evoke the necessary potential of the wise.

"Grr~!!" Although she was the one who discovered it first, Yuanhui felt a bit aggrieved that it was snatched away. Seizing the moment while the girl was distracted, he used a move like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey to knock the girl down in the muddy ground. Their clothes instantly covered in mud and water, Yuanhui took the chance to tickle her relentlessly.

"Wow! My clothes." Not listening to her explanation, the devious Yuanhui smirked and said, "You forced me to bring out my ultimate move first, now give it back!"

Without waiting for her response, Yuanhui turned his attention to tickling the girl's waist, quickly extending his hands to tickle her.

"Hahaha... I'll... return it to you!!" The girl, breathless from laughter, tears rolling in her eyes, eventually begged for mercy.

Seeing Yuanhui lower his guard, the girl pushed him into the pond in annoyance and cursed, "You jerk, why don't you be so arrogant with me again, big sister!"

At that moment, Yuanhui could vaguely remember that the reason he was so stubborn about that colorful stone was that he had lost his mother when his father's family was despised at home. Everyone thought that the third daughter of the family had become a widow, which was embarrassing and disgraceful, damaging the family's reputation.

Although Yuanhui went to beg his grandpa Wuba Chu for his mother several times, Grandpa Chu always refused to see him. It was only his grandmother who would scold him a bit before kindly opening the door for him, offering some snacks to ease Yuanhui's worries.

The ancient and decadent family tradition made everything Yuanhui, who was young and naive, did futile. His mother locked herself inside her room, rarely coming out to see him again.

Before the age of eleven, Yuanhui had always lived with his mother Ye Yue in the same room. So, he understood that his mother's room was very simple, with only a small bed and a plant basin, and the only luxury was the pair of redwood-carved table and chairs by the small wooden bed.

It was indeed not easy to find a high-quality rainbow stone like this, and he hoped to personally give this stone to his mother, then decorate the room with it so that his mother would be happy.

"Actually, the stone is for my mom..."

"For your mom?" After that experience, Yuanhui and the girl finally nestled together, exhausted, and for the first time, the girl forgave him upon hearing the reason. Even Yi Fei couldn't help but smile shyly.

The charming smile of the young man immediately caused a burst of redness on the girl Bai Zhi's face, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

"Well, it's just to make my mom happy and content."

"I didn't expect you, this messy devil, to be so filial!" The girl couldn't help but praise him, but little did she know that Yuanhui continued, "This way, my mom will make me delicious sweet and sour spare ribs!"

"The joke is so cold." Yi Fei, who wanted to break the frozen atmosphere, ended up telling a lame joke that made the girl give him a cold look.

"..."

"Just kidding, I'm Wu Tong'er, and you are Wu...?"

Who was it that saved me when I fell into the abyssal dragon pond that time? Yuanhui carefully recalled every detail of that moment.

The reason why the dragon pond was called the abyssal dragon pond was just as its name suggested - there were rumors of its unfathomable depth. Even ordinary experts in the reverse realm couldn't escape it, let alone eleven-year-old Yuanhui who had not yet matured in cultivation.

"Yuanhui, Wu Yuanhui!"
