The Eternal Creation Scripture

"Hmph, this Lu Ze really doen't know his place, how dare he defile Senior Sister Yunyue!"

"Indeed, he doesn't even reflect on his own conduct, a mere waste at the Second Postnatal Realm after three years of cultivating in the outer sect. He dares to harbor improper thoughts about Senior Sister Yunyue, who is an inner disciple reaching the Innate Realm!"

"Probably like a lazy toad lusting after swan meat, no wonder he ends up in such a plight!"

...

Qiantian Sect, Outer Sect Disciple Peak Plaza.

The sky hung low with dark clouds, fierce winds howled, and the air was filled with the oppressive atmosphere of an impending mountain storm.

A solitary youth of sixteen lay alone on the cold stone slab. Fresh blood flew from his abdomen and seeped through the cracks in the ground.

He was crowded by the outer sect disciples, who were all staring at the severely injured and dying youth.

However, none of them offered him a helping hand. Instead, they indulged shamelessly in mockery and disdain.

Listening to the unabashed taunts from those around him, Lu Ze's eyes turned bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and raged silently,

"Mu Yunyue, you greedy wretch! Not only did you use me, but you also tarnished my reputation. If I, Lu Ze, survive today, I will make you pay with your life!"

He and Mu Yunyue were childhood sweethearts who grew up in the same town together. And their parents had planned their wedding even while they were still in their mothers' wombs.

In this world, there were five realms of cultivation: Qi Refining Realm, Postnatal Realm, Innate Realm, True Profound Realm, and Transcendence Realm, each with nine stages.

To be accepted as a disciple in the Qiantian Sect, one must achieve the seventh stage of the Qi Refining Realm before the age of thirteen.

Lu Ze was gifted from a young age. When he entered the sect, he had already possessed with the cultivation of the Postnatal Realm. However, Mu Yunyue, born with a frigid pulse, was destined to struggle with cultivation.

To help her embark on the martial path, Lu Ze spared no effort using his vital energy day and night to nourish her meridians. It wakened the Celestial Yin Saint Body within her, and allowed her to soar to higher realms.

However, suffering backlash from the cold energy, Lu Ze's meridians was blocked and his promising martial arts future was eventually cut off .

Yet, he harbored no resentment and was still willing to sacrifice everything for her.

He thought that sincere love could be reciprocated, little did he know that it would lead to his current fate—

Half an hour ago, Mu Yunyue had arranged to meet him here, intending to annul their engagement. Though reluctant, Lu Ze agreed.

He just hoped for an amicable separation and retrieving his mother's spirit sword, then sever ties with her.

However, driven by unbridled greed, not only did Mu Yunyue refuse to return the spirit sword, but she also falsely accused Lu Ze of misconduct and spying on her during her bath in a fit of pique.

In front of everyone, she pierced his dantian and left him severely wounded and on the brink of death.

This cold-hearted betrayal left Lu Ze utterly disillusioned, vowing never to forgive or forget this grudge!

Boom!

At this moment, thunder resounded across the sky, and a torrential downpour ensued.

Disciples hastily departed, leaving Lu Ze alone bleeding and lying on the vast plaza.

The heavy rain washed over the entire world. The icy drops stroke Lu Ze's nearly frozen body. His consciousness began to blur.

Amidst the extreme cold, he felt a warm current rushing straight to his heart, lulling him into drowsiness.

"I must not sleep. I must survive, seek revenge, and not die here with a tarnished reputation!"

Lu Ze clenched his lips tightly, exerting effort to stay awake. At this moment, he absolutely could not afford to sleep; once asleep, he might never wake again. He had to seek revenge; he had to live to seek revenge!

However, even though he struggled desperately, he couldn't resist his destiny. In the vast plaza, his body grew colder. Maybe he was destined to die alone, burdened with infamy.

Boom!

Just then, the thunderous roar reverberated once more. Countless thunderbolts cut through the sky, illuminating the entire horizon. Black lightning in the sky rolled like a wandering dragon.

Abruptly, a golden lightning bolt, precise and unerring, struck Lu Ze's body in an instant.

"Ah!!!"

Immediately, he was surrounded by flashes of lightning. Intense pain, as if tearing his entire body apart, blurred his consciousness. He felt like he had fallen into a terrifying world—

In that world, the sky was blood-red, and the earth was pitch-black. A thick aura of death permeated the air, like a living purgatory.

In the center of this purgatory, Lu Ze vaguely saw an ancient figure. The figure was like a skeleton, and was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His face marked by the vicissitudes of time and exhaustion, as if having endured endless ages.

"Hello, little one, this is not where you should be now!"

Just as Lu Ze was stupefied, the figure opened its eyes. His cloudy old eyes sparkled, and his gaze was as piercing as a ray of light, shooting towards Lu Ze. All of a sudden, a terrifying pressure, like a mighty mountain or a tsunami capable of swallowing everything, swept towards him.

"Ah!!!!"

Under the majestic pressure, Lu Ze trembled with fear, and felt his tininess as a small ant. But just when he miserably howled, thinking this might be the end of his life, he leaped from the plaza in the next moment, gasping for breath.

"I... I'm still alive?"

By now, the thunderstorm had subsided, and sunlight was piercing through the thick clouds, embracing him with warmth and bright. Lu Ze looked at his body in shock. Before he knew it, all his injuries was completely healed.

The hole on his abdomen, previously injured by Mu Yunyue, was gone. Only the torn clothes and lingering bloodstains indicated his past ordeal. What astonished him even more was that the cold poison he had contracted while nourishing Mu Yunyue's meridians had inexplicably vanished.

If there was any discomfort, it was that his brain was beginning to feel heavy, as if it were overloading.

Closing his eyes and pondering, he discovered an ancient jade cauldron, hovering deep in his mind.

"What is happening?"

The sudden changes in his body made Lu Ze frown, filled with worry and uncertainty about whether this was good or bad.

"Don't panic, little one. I won't harm you. I'm just borrowing your divine body temporarily!"

"Take this cultivation technique; consider it my repayment to you!"

At this moment, the voice of the old man resonated from the jade cauldron. A cultivation technique promptly appeared in Lu Ze's mind—

The Eternal Creation Scripture.

Lu Ze's consciousness, just in contact with the scripture, was immediately drawn to it. Though young, he had seen many internal cultivation scriptures, but none could compare to this one.

The Eternal Creation Scripture had nine levels, also known as nine transformations. With Lu Ze's current cultivation, he could only perceive the first transformation.

Yet, even this first transformation surpassed the highest-level techniques he had seen in the Qiantian Sect—

Once achieving mastery, the blood will resemble an endless sea, the tendons will become as profound as black iron, the bones will turn as white as jade, and the physical body will rival divine artifacts.

Which internal cultivation technique had such heaven-defying effects?

Lu Ze no longer hesitated. Sitting on the ground, he intensified his cultivation.

At this moment, the heavy rain had just ceased, and the plaza was empty. No one noticed him. He activated the cultivation technique at full speed, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth began to surge towards him in an endless stream. It transformed into a small vortex, drilling into his limbs and bones before converging in his dantian.

Because his dantian had been disabled by Mu Yunyue before, he currently had no cultivation base. However, his realm was rapidly advancing—

Qi Refining Realm First Stage...

Qi Refining Realm Second Stage...

Qi Refining Realm Third Stage...

Finally, he surpassed the Ninth Stage of the Qi Refining Realm, crossed into the First Postnatal Realm, and even surpassed his original Second Postnatal Realm. He only stopped when he reached the Seventh Postnatal Realm.

And all of this happened in just half an hour.

"Is this the power of the Eternal Creation Scripture? It actually allowed me to break through to the Seventh Postnatal Realm in one go?"

Lu Ze slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging and overwhelming strength in his body, hundreds of times more powerful than his peak period. A delighted smile appeared on his face.

Three years, it had been three years!

In these three years, he had been disregarded and looked down upon at the Qiantian Sect. Even when he diligently cultivated, he only managed to break through from the First to the Second Postnatal Realm. Now, he had finally shattered these shackles.

With the revived meridians and the heaven-defying power of the Eternal Creation Scripture, he was like a dragon released into the sea, an eagle escaping its cage, free to roam the vast sky and sea.

"Mu Yunyue, just you wait. I'll settle the score for everything you left with me very soon!"

After the joy, a chilling murderous intent emerged.

Endless hatred burgeoned in Lu Ze's heart.

Mu Yunyue's betrayal and malicious actions had left an indelible mark on Lu Ze.

With his current cultivation speed, it wouldn't be long before he sought revenge against her.

He was determined to repay all the suffering he had endured over the years because of her.

"This waste wasn't dead. It seems we need to help Senior Sister Mu."

Just at that moment, a mocking laughter suddenly echoed from outside the plaza.

In the light laughter, there was disdain, contempt, and an unabashed intent to kill!
