Chapter 229: The Giant Axe's Phantom Image!
“Return to True is about to begin.”
Lu Qingyang listened to the System’s chime in his ear, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
After swiftly stowing away and refining the Dragon-Beating Whip.
Lu Qingyang’s mind stirred slightly, and his consciousness sank into the System.
【Begin Return to True? Yes/No】
Looking at the System prompt, Lu Qingyang spoke softly without a shred of hesitation.
“Yes!”
In an instant, the scene before Lu Qingyang’s eyes abruptly changed.
Only, this time it was not the usual pitch-black opening of Return to True.
Before his eyes was not darkness, but chaos.
Though chaos was also pitch-black, it was different from simple darkness.
Before his eyes, that chaos was like countless dark clouds interwoven into a massive vortex.
The vortex was deep and distant, seeming to have no end.
Within Lu Qingyang’s vision, a towering figure stood between heaven and earth.
“That is… Pangu?”
Lu Qingyang could hardly believe it.
He knew this scene before him was related to his own talent.
This is most likely the Reincarnated Immortal Sect talent — the soul memories of a past life.
But… could that really be Pangu?
Lu Qingyang truly did not dare believe it.
Though he dearly wished it were so.
But with his current Family Background level, how could he possibly have such a high-tier opening?
And just as Lu Qingyang was bewildered.
That towering figure standing within the murk suddenly moved.
A giant axe reaching through heaven and earth suddenly appeared in his hand.
Then the figure raised the axe and struck.
In that instant, chaos trembled, and endless gales swept across all directions.
A boundless, limitless rift appeared out of thin air within this chaotic heaven and earth.
“Pangu splitting the heavens?”
Lu Qingyang’s eyes went wide.
He stared in shock at the scene before him.
Before he could react, the rift grew larger and larger.
Finally, it completely devoured that towering figure.
“Boom!”
Amid the explosive roar of heaven collapsing and earth splitting, the scene around Lu Qingyang abruptly shifted, and everything returned to normal.
The familiar joyous cries of his parents, the familiar wailing.
Extremely dense spiritual qi filled all directions.
Has it begun?
Lu Qingyang slowly opened his eyes, surveying his surroundings.
What came into view was a house of extremely rugged style.
Through the window, Lu Qingyang saw giant plants towering into the clouds.
The Primordial Ancient World really is different. Even the trees grow so tall.
And…
Lu Qingyang carefully sensed the spiritual qi around him, somewhat surprised.
And it seems the power of heaven and earth here is not the immortal power unique to the Immortal Realm.
It is still ordinary spiritual qi, just extremely dense.
Buzz~
As Lu Qingyang was exploring, a ripple suddenly rose within his body.
The next moment, a peculiar aura spread out from his tiny body.
Then, Lu Qingyang felt a wondrous power flowing within his body…
Broke… broke through!
My son has actually reached Qi Refining in less than a quarter hour since birth!
Wife! Look! Our child has broken through!
A clamor of cheering and joy rose beside Lu Qingyang’s ears, faintly mixed with a man’s excited voice.
Lu Qingyang turned his face at the sound, looking toward its source.
A most dignified face came into view.
It was a burly man with a full beard, smiling brilliantly as he extended both hands toward Lu Qingyang, his expression begging for a hug.
Beside him stood a plainly dressed woman with a loving expression.
Though the two looked somewhat plain, the aura about them gave off a sense of tranquil transcendence.
Lu Qingyang knew these two were most likely his True Immortal parents.
Lu Qingyang looked at the arms the burly man extended, hesitating a long while before finally reaching out his chubby little hands.
“Patta!”
“Hahahaha! My son is truly amazing!”
The burly man was overwhelmed with excitement, directly pulling Lu Qingyang into his arms.
And Lu Qingyang did not struggle, obediently leaning against the burly man’s broad, sturdy chest.
In a Primordial Ancient World like this, one could not survive without a good backing.
So… if necessary, he did not mind making use of his infant identity.
Sure enough, seeing Lu Qingyang so obedient.
The burly man and the woman immediately doted on him even more.
“Here, good son, this thing will help your cultivation.”
The burly man seemed to be rummaging under his arm.
Soon he produced a black pellet the size of a thumb and held it out before Lu Qingyang.
Looking at this strangely sourced black pellet no bigger than a thumb, Lu Qingyang’s face nearly turned green.
But he was a new account — how could he possibly block an existence that, to a lower-realm cultivator, was max level?
So despite his little hands waving without stop.
He still could not stop that black pellet from reaching his mouth.
“Gulp!”
Amid Lu Qingyang’s intense unwillingness, he swallowed the black pellet.
Once in his mouth, the pellet did not have the foul taste he had imagined.
Instead it was like jade and soup, fragrant and delicious, even making him unable to resist smacking his lips a few more times.
“Mmm!”
Lu Qingyang could not help but let out a comfortable grunt.
“Hahahaha! Delicious, isn’t it!”
The burly man laughed heartily.
“Good son, this thing is called the Spirit Ancient Pill. Your father expended nine oxen and two tigers’ worth of effort to obtain this treasure.”
“Though it’s only the size of a thumb, it’s full of essence and has no spiritual poison.”
“After eating it, it can enhance your spiritual veins and physical talent, and nourish your tendons, bones and meridians.”
“It can even extend your lifespan and make you immune to a hundred poisons.”
As the burly man spoke, Lu Qingyang’s tiny body trembled slightly, his gaze clearly somewhat blank.
Seeing this, both the burly man and the woman were stunned.
“Good son, what’s wrong??”
The woman spoke with concern, clearly having noticed something was off.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang seemed not to hear at all, his eyes still unfocused.
Seeing this, the burly man was also puzzled.
He scratched his head.
Preparing to check on Lu Qingyang’s condition.
But who knew, before he could even touch Lu Qingyang.
An aura even more profound and strange than when Lu Qingyang broke through earlier burst forth from his tiny body.
“Boom!”
In an instant, dense spiritual qi surged madly, transforming into a terrifying torrent that poured into Lu Qingyang’s body.
Lu Qingyang’s skin instantly turned golden, like colored glaze.
At the same time, a heart-stopping pressure emanated from him.
“Thud!”
Under the shocked gazes of the burly man and his wife.
A resplendent, magnificent Giant Axe Phantom suddenly appeared above Lu Qingyang’s head.
“What… what is going on!”
“A single Spirit Ancient Pill actually spawned a phenomenon!”
“No! This isn’t a phenomenon!”
“This is… the True Spirit Projection of a past life!”
Lu Qingyang’s parents looked at the Giant Axe Phantom suspended in midair, and each drew a sharp breath.
Having cultivated to the extreme, they had also heard of various strange tales.
Among them was one of great powers reincarnating, who would from time to time manifest things related to their past life.
“This brat, to think his origins are so great!”
“As expected of my own son.”
“Rest assured, no matter who you were in your past life, since you’ve become my son in this life, I will definitely protect you!”
The burly man murmured in a low voice, his gaze firm.
His voice was not loud, yet it clearly and distinctly reached Lu Qingyang’s ears…
