Chu Tiange was running away and feeling very desperate.
He was originally a cultivation genius from Chu Family Town; when he touched the Witch's crystal skull, it turned out he had a rare high-grade Witch talent, and was destined for greatness in the future.
Since childhood, he was betrothed to his childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately, she caught the eye of a noble young man from Tian Country. Because of his resistance, his Dantian was shattered, his veins were ruined, and now he was exterminated.
"Yun'Er! Wait for me, I will escape and come back to rescue you!" he vowed firmly in his heart.
Unfortunately, the wild beast behind him was a family pet trained by the noble family, ordered to hunt him by his scent, and he couldn't escape.
He was now covered in blood and in a miserable state.
Ah!
He let out a tragic cry as he was quickly tackled to the ground.
Just as he felt a pang of despair thinking his life was over, the beast on his back suddenly lay still on top of him.
His fear intensified.
He had heard that these nobles lived decadent lives and couldn't believe even their beasts were like this. Was he to endure such humiliation?
But as he kept his eyes closed for a while without any reaction, he opened them to find the tiger dead, limp on his body.
A boy, as delicate as a work of art, was looking at him.
This boy's face was obscured, as if shrouded in a dreamy haze, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't make out his features through the veil.
He was stunned and at a loss.
This kind of spiritual energy field was clearly something only a powerful cultivator could exhibit.
"Come with me," Zhu Zhengwei said, taking him back to the residence.
Soon, Zhu Zhengwei understood his background and his expression changed to one of bemusement.
Protagonist's name, childhood sweetheart taken, Dantian destroyed, rescued by a master, a classic plot...
Protagonist template indeed.
But I'm not an old master, or a golden finger.
Zhu Zhengwei thought for a moment, regardless of deep grudges and hatred, after all, rebirthing and cultivating a character requires someone to do some chores and said, "Do you want revenge?"
"I want to," Chu Tiange's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope in despair, "but I'm crippled..."
Zhu Zhengwei nodded, looking at his abdomen, "Just a few inches of flesh and blood, it's not a big deal."
"Really?" His face was full of longing.
"Yes, first I'll give you a task, teach him cultivation," Zhu Zhengwei pointed at the tall brother beside them.
After all, he was busy himself and had no chance to teach his brother cultivation, and indeed, his brother and parents in this life had no aptitude.
But having some longevity and life-saving skills are beneficial.
"And me?" He hesitated.
"No worries, I'll teach you a Dharma Gate to bypass the Dantian for cultivation another day!" Zhu Zhengwei promised grandly, knowing that after turning twenty, he would definitely research Dantian cultivation skills and combat techniques, just taking him as an experiment.
"Thank you, senior!" He was overjoyed.
After all, in his eyes, this mysterious master might have a short stature or a young appearance, but that wasn't a problem.
After all, in the Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries, there were all kinds of uniquely shaped humans.
For instance, Zhu Zhengwei's current long-legged brother Zhang Song, who was over two meters tall even at just in his teens.
Soon, with a laborer at home, life became much more comfortable.
The honest and down-to-earth brother had a teacher to guide him in cultivation, and he could also help with farm work, repair houses, or help neighbors, earning praise from the villagers in the community.
Thirteen years old.
Zhu Zhengwei successfully stepped into the sixth tier, reaching the pinnacle of the world.
However, Zhu Zhengwei was not satisfied, "Cultivating the belly's mind, already at the sixth tier, but I still need to continue to cultivate the Upper Dantian! My brain!"
Generally, unless one was a particularly gifted mutant with two brains, cultivating two different Dharma Gates was not possible.
Why?
Take Chu Tiange as an example!
You think his brain is in his head?
Actually, his brain is located in his abdomen.
His Dantian being damaged is akin to suffering brain damage; ordinarily, such a person would die, but he survived and could think normally, an enormous stroke of luck.
Just like those stories you hear about people who get shot in the brain but manage to keep functioning, it's incredibly fortunate.
So, his brain was damaged, rendering him unable to cultivate.
Actually, the Twelve Ancestral Witch Countries are quite absurd; they have only one brain, some located in the stomach, some in the hair, some in the arms.
Take Zhu Zhengwei's long-legged brother as an example.
You think he's using his head to think?
No!
He's using his legs to think!
This gene-modified world left by the madman Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor was just that absurd.
And Zhu Zhengwei is special.
He chose the best reborn mutant body, having two brains; the Dantian was a brain but had no consciousness, merely storing Spiritual Power in the Sea of Qi... but his head still houses a brain.
"Hmm, in the coming years, I will also complete the Upper Dantian." Zhu Zhengwei planned meticulously, for rebirthing wasn't perfect, would be foolish.
Eighteen years old.
Zhu Zhengwei achieved great success in two major Dharma Gates, reaching the sixth tier.
On this day, the Immortal Herb was finally consumed completely, reaching the peak of the current state.
The entire mountain seemed to be enveloped in a powerful aura.
"Sixth tier completely perfected, alas, unable to find the path to the seventh tier."
Zhu Zhengwei maintained a calm composure, having grown into a gentle young man, his heart pondering, "This life is almost as good as it gets... once I reflect back on reality, I will be at the sixth tier."
"However, if I find the breakthrough method, I can directly break through this realm in reality without needing to reincarnate and start over again."
"Zhang Zhi says he is preparing to enter the world, it seems after eight centuries of research, he finally has a lead on the seventh tier, I just need to wait here at the sixth tier."
This rebirth, Zhu Zhengwei's development was quite comfortable.
As expected.
After all, everything was laid out, resources, isolated hermit village, what unexpected events could there be?
In this world, there aren't that many variables; normally, as long as you don't provoke trouble, trouble won't come looking for you.
The only exception was when Chu Tiange stumbled into this mountain village, but that was a minor matter.
"Now, no matter what, it is time to leave the mountain."
Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath, "The life of hiding and growing is over, having cultivated a great power, converting it into his strength is truly the beginning."
On this day, he bid farewell to his brother and parents.
Zhu Zhengwei planned to return once a year to visit, and also to travel around.
He planned to explore the new era born after the era of Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor.
To see how this new epoch was, what scenery the reborn world had, how the living beings were, whether they also longed for the stars beyond the world, what stories of seeking immortality would unfold.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhengwei concealed his tear mole and took along a sobbing Chu Tiange, "Come on, let's head to Tian Country, back to your Chu Family Town for a look."
