Reincarnated Dao Venerable

It was night. The moon shone brightly above while below a massive celebration and feast was being thrown in the village. The atmosphere was lively, smiles present on everyone's faces.

"Hahaha! My good disciple! Tian Xiang. A good name! Very talented in the Way of the Sword! This Great Venerable truly has a great eye!" Zhou Fengren could be seen drowning himself in alcohol as he laughed boisterously, talking about how great and talented his disciple is. Of course, he did not forget to brag about himself.

Chen Tao was there smiling wryly, saying, "Senior does have a good eye. Such a talented disciple!"

While inside his mind, he was wondering, 'How can he be do talented? Even that kind of talent is extremely rare in the Divine Realm! He must be a reincarnated expert!'

Shi Bing also wondered about the same thing, 'Junior brother is very outstanding. He must be a reincarnated expert.'

Soon, the celebration finished. It was day now, the sun shone brightly above the village. Inside a house, Zhou Fengren, Shi Bing, and Chen Tao were all seated around a table, drinking tea.

"Not bad of a village you got here, kid," said Zhou Fengren towards Chen Tao.

"This junior thanks senior," replied Chen Tao with gratitude.

"Mhm. I have to say, that Tian Xiang brat sure has quite a background. He is a reincarnated expert - I'm sure you two have already speculated about that," Zhou Fengren said with a smirk on his face.

"Mhm. Senior, who could this 'reincarnated expert' be?" asked Chen Tao.

Zhou Fengren started laughing uncontrollably as he shouted, "Bahahahaha! This Venerable's eyes are truly unrivalled - I picked up that damned old idiot as my disciple! Bahahahaha! Old Idiot Qin Jian! Bahahahaha!"

Shi Bing and Chen Tao's eyes widened, as they kept looking at Zhou Fengren and Tian Xiang back-and-forth.

"Senior... surely you jest... right?" asked Chen Tao.

"Qin Jian? Who is that?" asked Shi Bing.

Chen Tao replied with fervor, "Qin Jian! Sword Ancestor. One of the great Dao Venerables... to think that he didn't die at that legendary battle but reincarnated! But how?"

"Hahahaha! After fighting with that Old Devil and offending the Godfiend, he still managed to fool them! These two were so sure he was dead that they didn't even bother checking if he was alive. How can one be so stupid in the cultivation world? Bahahaha, I'm sure lucky to have this old idiot as my disciple. Ah! The look on his face when he awakens his memories will be priceless!" Zhou Fengren said as he continued boisterously laughing.

"Senior sure is mighty to get the Sword Ancestor as a disciple..." Chen Tao said.

But inside, he was freaking out! 'How can this madman be so lucky?! The Sword Ancestor! The one who has the greatest Sword Dao in history! Even my master would given up everything to have been his disciple! Damn!'

'Godfiend? Old Devil? Seems like powerful beings. Dao Venerable... isn't master at that realm?' thought Shi Bing.

Meanwhile, in a realm of pure nothingness, Tian Xiang saw a white light in the midst of it. It seemed as if it was capable of cutting everything. It was the very essence of the Sword itself. Tian Xiang floated in this realm of nothingness - he reached out for the light, but it seemed as if the light was infinitely far away from him.

Tian Xiang's childlike voice seemed to echo throughout this realm of nothingness. "What is that light? Why am I drawn to it? Why does it feel so familiar? Why is it so far away?"

Tian Xiang continued floating, reaching for the dazzling bright light.

It seemed as if countless years passed, yet Tian Xiang remained a child and floating. This child had a truly strong Dao Heart. Yet, no matter how much he tried, he could not reach it.

"Why am I still reaching out for it? How long has it been? How about that old man I took as my master? My mother and father? The village?" despite his tough will, he seemed to be giving up. His pace slowed down.

And then a voice spoke to him, "You are that light. Why reach out for something that is you? There is no need... what are you waiting for? Grasp it! It is not far, it is about to fall into your hands! Grasp this light!"

Tian Xiang heard this voice, as he began to daze at seemingly nothing. Before his eyes flashed a long, white glowing sword. It seemed as if this was the most important thing in his life!

He grasped the sword, his grip tight He did not know why, but he did not want to let go of this sword. Then, the blinding light seemed to be getting closer and closer, as it wrapped around him tightly. It seemed as if the light was becoming part of him.

While Zhou Fengren was laughing, from the corner of the room - where Tian Xiang was sleeping, he suddenly opened his eyes as a terrifying aura bursted out of him.

It seemed as if his body became terrifyingly sharp, capable of cutting all things!

Shi Bing and Chen Tao were completely shocked as they thought, 'This aura... Primal Ancestor! How?! He is so young!'

Zhou Fengren looked towards the source of the aura, and smirked. "Oh? It's starting? Hehehe, good, good!"

Tian Xiang, with his child-like voice shouted, "I am the sword!"

Zhou Fengren stared at him as he released a very small portion of his pressure, enough to overwhelm Tian Xiang as he said, "Oh? You claim you are the sword? Then, why don't we put it to the test?"

Zhou Fengren formed a long, glowing white sword in his hand emanating a terrifying aura, capable of cutting through everything! It seemed as if all daos were fused into this very sword he was holding. It had control over all dualities!

Chen Tao was even intimidated by this aura. Shi Bing was being suppressed! Zhou Fengren at this moment seemed liked a ferocious beast filled with killing intent!
