1 Prologue
(This a prologue chapter, it explains MC life before the canon, it's more or less a summary what he did before YC got back into XC body...P.S MC is 'considered the younger 'twin' to YC, But because of his cultivation and talent, he calls himself the 'Older Brother' and we all know the reason for this... (LOL)
------------------------------------------
Xiao Tian Long is the twin brother to Xiao Che, while Xiao Che was older than him by a few minutes Tian Long was the first to display his Genius, walking in the first few months, fully talking in just under a year, and reading in his second year! Many believed that Xiao Tian Long was the future of their clan! Yet, they all were sad that the boy was not engaged to the biggest Merchant clan's eldest daughter, as many knew that Xia Hongyi's wife is truly stunning, and their daughter will be a heartbreaker as well.
But, Xiao Tian Long never truly cared for such things. He was kind and smiling to everyone at a young age, after all everything was according to his plan...
As he was someone reborn into this world with greater cheats than the original 'Protagonist' of this universe!
A few more years progressed and Tian Long made progress toward certain growing beauty, and started capturing her heart!
Xia Qingyue's mother just left a few days ago and the girl had what is almost considered a mental breakdown. Xiao Tian Long moved in and saved the day, he made the girl open up again and 'imprinted' himself in her heart for the rest of her life.
While she is still engaged to his 'brother' she still will be his in the end...
He still has to play the role of 'Nice Brother' for the sake of future entertainment.
For the next 3 years, he builds up a relationship with Xia Qingyue and her Brother Yuanba, while he was closer to the girl, he was alright with Yuanba, while the same could not be said with Xiao Che, his brother became a complete wimp when he learned about his crippled veins and he was completely devastated when he learned that Tian Long was genius in cultivation.
Some even said that Tian Long took all the talent when they were growing in their mother's womb, but that's not true as Tian Long used his cheat of heaven's path library to create the most broken cultivation method, and his inner medical realm was used to create an endless amount of resources for cultivation, Tian Long doesn't even need to leave the city and he could still easily reach the peak, but for reputation, and to make appearances Xiao Tian Long had to leave.
And so at the age of 10 he left, his 'Girlfriend' was devastated to the point that she turned into an ice girl, from that point she did the only thing which was cultivation and nothing else.
By that time Xia Qingyue's life was purely at Xiao Tian Long's hands, his kindness and his presence always made her believe that she could do anything, by now she blamed herself for his leave, which was not true by any stretch.
It only took a year for news about certain cultivators to circulate in the lands of Blue Wind Empire, a child of the mere age of 11 destroying Evil Sects and making a name for himself, with Cultivation of True Profound fighting people at Earth Profound!? this made everyone, no matter the size of Sect in Blue Wind tries to add such a prodigy to their ranks!
But no such luck happened, as the boy would appear and disappear at his leisure, many just salivated at such power to move like teleportation! technique or power by then they stopped caring, all they wanted is part of this boy in their Sect, and they had no luck finding him.
Only for him to resurface himself a year later with the cultivation of Spirit profound and wield sword arts so strong that he could fight Emperor Profound at ease! Such news spread far and wide as others bordering Empires heard about such a child, they took an interest but didn't intervene, until a year later when said boy aged 13 reached the realm of Earth Profound and wiped every single Evil Sect, and showed his devastating power to rest of Blue Wind Empire Sects, He said his name was Xiao Tian Long of Xiao Clan...
That was a clue needed for other sects to move against This Xiao Tian Long family, as he was too powerful and too talented, and he needed to be put under some sort of control... only for their 'Kidnappers' simply to vanish before they ever reached birthplace of Xiao Tian Long.
Hearing about this incident Xiao Sect almost pissed their pants and ordered to bring the Xiao Clan of Floating Cloud city under their discreet protection and to notify them that if he returns it will be reported immediately to the Sect Master of Xiao Sect.
While the rest of the Empires took notice and observed closely as Tian Long's killing spree to eliminate the Evil Sect continued from Empire to Empire.
By the Age Of 15, Xiao Tian Long was a Sky Profound Expert with Fighting Power unknown to the rest of the world, people only saw a flash of Gold and There was the bloody path of Corpses.
By now Tian Long was well known to Sky Profound Continent, he was akin to the Emperor of an Empire, but he didn't have one... still, people worshipped him, and that was his mission anyway...
Only for the truly arrogant to appear before him...
"So you are the fancy swordsman everyone in Empire is talking about!? So weak! A mere Sky Profound and talk big as if you are Sovereign under the sun! I 13th Prince of Divine Phoenix Empire will punish you for your insolence!" The newly minted Emperor Profound Cultivator and Prince roared at Xiao Tian Long, he pulled out his fan and pointed at the Swordsman.
"Defend yourself, this prince won't repeat himself!" So Xiao Tian Long did just that, he made a sword stroke motion with his right-hand finger and cut the Prince's shoulder so fast that the arrogant Prince didn't even have a chance to understand what happened.
"Ahhhh, what happened!" Feng Xichen could not understand why he was bleeding from his shoulder!
"PRINCE!" Two of his bodyguards rushed to their prince's side.
" You! Do you know who attacked you brat?!" One of the bodyguards snarled with an angry look.
Xiao Tian Long once again brushed with his right-hand index finger and both guards dropped to the ground with bleeding dominant hand shoulders.
"I do, and you are a bunch of weaklings, I have no interest in people who can't even understand how to cultivate..." Xiao Tian Long left behind the humiliated Prince and his bodyguards.
But Xiao Tian Long didn't know at that time, but he triggered a flag for the 'young master' route meaning that the prince cried to his father who is the Emperor, and he dispatched his attack hounds to find Xiao Tian Long.
Xiao Tian Long delved with them a few more times until he got tired of this. So, Xiao Tian Long went to Divine Phoenix Capital to fix the problem personally.
If his reputation by then was big...now it became truly, shining brightly, Xiao Tian Long single handedly went to Divine Phoenix Empire Imperial Palace and asked 'WTF' with his Lap dogs attacking him, and it turned into a massive fight that demanded even ancestors to intervene, both Feng Zukui and Feng Tianwei had to leave their Secluded meditations to pacify rampaging Xiao Tian Long, who by then truly lost his fuse, there is just that much arrogance an adult in Teenagers body can take...
Xiao Tian Long drew his sword and Phoenix Clan Ancestor truly felt a shiver going down his spine, he just saw his death a few breaths ago.
'Just how powerful is this boy! He is just Peak Sky Profound! And yet he defeats Tianwei without sweat!?'
"First Sky ...Sky Perishing Slash... " Feng Zukui felt a massive amount of sword intent gather at the tip of that simple-looking sword, and then... the sword descended, and it killed the sound itself
Feng Zukui's shoulder was cut just like the rest of his family...
'I didn't even see his attack move... it just happened! By the Heavens what did that idiot Hengkong provoke!?'
He knows that the boy didn't take a life yet, but the way he approaches him he knows it maybe not be the case for him, as he is the strongest in Phoenix empire has to offer, and with his death Empire will lose its strongest cultivator...by now everyone knows Phoenix Soul is gone... and with his death, Divine Phoenix empire will be destroyed...
"As the saying goes... When you take the head off a snake, its body will follow after…" Xiao Tian Long said with no-nonsense in his voice.
"Just kill me already boy..." Feng Zukui said with resignation.
"WAIT!" A young girl's voice said behind Xiao Tian Long, he didn't turn to face this girl, as it would be foolish to show back to the enemy stronger than the girl behind him.
"Give me one reason not to kill him! I ignored this empire's provocation over 5 times! FIVE FUCKING TIMES!" Xiao Tian Long said with fury he usually doesn't swear but this time he couldn't control himself.
"I got tired of this so I decided just to erase this Empire from Top to bottom! " Xiao Tian Long glowed golden for a second and the whole Capital felt his sword Intent.
"Xue'er Understand... Xue'er will take Grandfather's place..." Xiao Tian Long snorted at her.
"And on whose authority did you decide that?" This time Xiao Tian Long took a step to the side and turned around to face the girl who was no older than 12, he was now releasing his full power, he is tired of holding back! Even the Princess is arrogant! Even if she doesn't know that yet!
Xiao Tian Long knows full well who this girl is and if he was not pissed beyond simple reason he would go and cuddle the said girl.
"Xue'er apologies, Master Xiao! " she quickly bowed to him as the way she said was wrong! She is not used to talking to people outside her Clan.
"Girl you have to give me satisfying compensation for your family's blunders, I am hard to 'piss off' but your family pushed, I am close to wiping everything off this place, the city included, and you need to impress me if you wish to stop this..." Xiao Tian Long said as his sword started to glow golden the air around the sword itself started to be affected by the sheer amount of destruction stored there.
By now the only Princess of the Divine Phoenix Empire was in a tight spot...
"Do what you want with Xue'er, just please stop this!"
Now Xiao Tian Long started laughing hearing that.
"You! Hahaha, you think you are more important than this empire put together!?"
Feng Zukui was terrified now, one or another way the empire will be forever affected, if Feng Xue'er reveals her secret he will do something to her, and the other way he kills her then he and the Empire are truly finished...
"Xue'er is the full inheritor of Phoenix, and possesses Divine Phoenix Body!" Xiao Tian Long snorted upon hearing that.
"So you got your power from someone and you think you are impressive..." Xiao Tian Long stopped his attack and sheeted his sword, the air around them became much lighter, and both Feng Xue'er and Feng Zukui were able to breathe more easily.
Feng Xue'er didn't know she would receive such a reaction from him, while Feng Zukui instantly understood what Xiao Tian Long meant, and it didn't go well for his Empire.
'I can't believe we were pushed into a corner by one teenager! Who doesn't even have pubic hair yet!' Over a thousand years old Cultivators fumed internally.
"Very well, I shall allow this Empire to continue to exist, but your life is mine, 4 years from now when you are sixteen we shall marry, I want a perfect wife by then since you don't need to cultivate, I want someone who can cook the best food and take care of the household if you fail that, then your empire is finished..." With Xiao Tian Long's last word he vanished, and Feng Xue'er and Feng Zukui stared at Xiao Tian Long spot where he was standing a few moments ago, they could not believe what they heard.
'P-perfect wife? But I don't even know how to make tea!' Feng Xue'er panicked and quickly looked at her great-grandfather.
"Grandfather what should we do?" Feng Xue'er asked the only available adult.
"We will do as he says..." The Ancestor of the Phoenix Empire said bitterly." I shall find instructors personally, but in the meantime, your Grandfather has to find your sorry excuse of a father and straighten this out, now go and meditate on this!" Feng Xue'er quickly nodded and flew back to the Royal Palace.
Feng Zukui looked bitterly back at a destroyed portion of the city, the sheer amount of sword intent still lingers in the air, he doesn't even want to know how strong this boy will be in four years...
'Damn you Hengkong... your arrogance nearly destroyed us!' Feng Zukui with fury vanished to find his grandson, he had to extract a few pounds of flesh from him.
With Xiao Tian Long's display of power in the Phoenix Empire, the Four Sacred Grounds could not stand idle anymore, especially Mighty Heavenly Sword Region as Xiao Tian Long was a sword wielder with power not seen before!
Xuanyuan Wentian send out a few Elders to fetch the Young Swordsman only for them to return with missing sword arms, he was pissed and send out his sword attendants to capture or kill the boy, but he underestimated the power of Young Xiao Tian Long who killed them and went to face Sacred Ground Personally...
Xiao Tian Long dropped three heads in front of Xuanyuan Wentian and spread his hands
"Here I am! You were looking for me?" Xiao Tian Long said with an irritated voice, he was pissed off that these bugs were popping at every turn when he was looking for a unique Profound beast to hunt.
"I did...I wished to invite you to join my Sacred Grounds but your response was... too much... " Xiao Tian Long snorted at those words.
"Your Elders are lacking in decorum, is retreating deep into caves making them lose means how to speak properly?" To Xiao Tian Long's provocation, the Sword Master ignored it completely.
"Then you have my apology, but losing three peak Sovereigns will cost us much... " Xiao Tian Long already knows what he is going with this.
"Not my problem, Sword Master, next time if you want something do it yourself..." Xiao Tian Long was about to leave, but Xuanyuan Wentian pulled out the sword which emits a very dark aura.
"I can't allow that, junior, you will join my Sacred Ground, and then you will help me rule this world..." Xiao Tian Long started laughing, hard, after hearing the Sword Master.
"You??? Make me? A mere peak Sovereign? With a fancy sword of yours?" The Sword Master didn't respond, instead he attacked with his Sovereign Profound weapon.
Xiao Tian Long quickly intercepted him with his sword, and the sword fight quickly escalated into battle in the air, with each strike sending strikes of powerful gusts of wind spreading throughout the Sword Region, countless observers watched from a distance as the Sword Master and the young Genius exchanged strikes.
A few minutes later one figure crashed from the sky and rammed into Mighty Sword Region buildings, destroying several pavilions in the process, everyone thought it was the young upstart, but then debris exploded in all directions, everyone saw a green-dressed man with a dark sword, with several cuts on him standing in debris.
Everyone was shell shocked, as one of the four strongest persons of the Sky Profound continent was hurt this much, this quickly!
"Is that it? This is the power of the Sovereign Sword? You worked endlessly to acquire this pathetic sword, even me, a mere 15-year old I know the legend of this sword... yet it disappoints me... " Xiao Tian Long said with such a bored tone that grated Wentian's nerves
"That's it! I will kill you junior!!!" The green-dressed man exploded with Sovereign power and accelerated into Xiao Tian Long, who was waiting for him...
"Fourth Sky... Breaking Void... " Xiao Tian Long thrust his sword forward, a single stroke... broke everything in its path, and Wentian only saw light and that was it...
'Such sword intent! How can Peak Sky Profound have so much strength!' Those were the last words Xuanyuan Wentian said before darkness claimed him... forever.
Once the golden light settled down, completely quiet air remained after, as nothing remained after the golden light consumed a portion of Sacred Grounds, the only thing remaining in destroyed grounds is the dark sword, falling on the ground with a 'clang'.
Xiao Tian Long appeared in front of the sword and grabbed it, then he stored it inside his storage ring.
Only now did the rest of the Sword Region realise that their fates are in Xiao Tian Long's hands...
He moved above buildings and his voice spread out through the lands.
"Your Sword Master is dead, this is my first and last warning, next time if I see any of you close to my home or you come with some proposition for me to join, I will erase your Sacred Ground, this is the last time I give you a chance to live..." With that Xiao Tian Long vanished...
The news that Mighty Sword Region was all but destroyed, by one man no less, was a shock that made the rest of 3 Sacred Grounds... scared very quickly, they approached him intending to become 'Friends', Xiao Tian Long sold them the sword for as much as possible, for profound coins and other things like access to their information gathering network, as well as the merchant guild discounts on all trade, making Xiao Tian Long Greatest VIP in Profound Sky Continent, from that day forward every single Black Moon merchant branch know him by face instantly, so that no misunderstandings could ever happen...
With that out of the way, Xiao Tian Long was able to hunt in peace for next year, as the date of Cannon was approaching...
(This is the end of Xiao Tian Long introduction, next chapter is the start of the canon, and how much Sky Profound Continent has changed with Xiao Tian Long existence as strongest of Sky Profound Continent.)
