Golden Immortal Rebirth

In the late hours of the night, lightning flashed and thunder roared as torrential rain poured down.

On the outskirts of Anzhou City, a luxurious villa remained brightly lit despite the thunderous weather. The booming sound of music reverberated within, undeterred by the loud thunder.

"Have I been reborn?"

In a bedroom on the second floor of the villa, a young man suddenly sat up from the bed, his gaze filled with confusion as he surveyed his surroundings. Gradually, his memories became clearer.

He had a slender figure, fair and handsome features, and was dressed extravagantly, resembling a wealthy young master who hadn't worked a day in his life. His eyes, however, were incredibly clear, like deep pools that seemed to draw you into his world with just a glance.

Clearly a person who had weathered storms, the young man was briefly puzzled before immediately sensing his internal cultivation.

As he expected, the painstakingly cultivated power from hundreds of years of practicing the "Tai Xuan True Classic" had completely vanished, leaving only a lingering seed of spiritual energy deep within his dantian.

The two supreme techniques that had brought him fame in the immortal realm, the "Great Universe Sword Art" and the "Heaven-Devouring Flame Technique," were now nonexistent.

This body, pristine and ordinary, belonged to a mortal.

"It seems I have been reborn... This villa, could it be that day? Heh, I never thought I'd have the chance to return to my twenties. Li Xuan, oh Li Xuan, the paths I took wrongly, the people I disappointed... I finally have a chance to make amends," murmured Li Xuan, the young man, softly.

Originally an ordinary person on Earth, Li Xuan had acquired an immortal legacy through a fortuitous encounter and cultivated the "Tai Xuan True Classic." He became a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, renowned in the immortal realm, and was known as the "Fire and Mystical Golden Immortal."

He traversed the universe, challenged myriad realms, reversed Yin and Yang, terrified countless immortals. With a cosmic giant sword, he shattered planets and obliterated star rivers; his "Heaven-Devouring Flame Technique" consumed black holes and annihilated entire races.

Unfortunately, he was betrayed by a female immortal he trusted most, fell into a trap, and was besieged by dozens of enemies, ultimately plunging into a black hole.

He had anticipated his demise, only to be reborn!

"Since I've been reborn, I won't make the same mistakes again. When I return to the immortal realm, those who betrayed me, ambushed me, framed me... you will pay the price!" Li Xuan recalled his past life, his voice cold.

"In my previous life, I took countless detours and faced numerous setbacks during my cultivation journey."

"Now, with the seed of spiritual energy, the 'Tai Xuan True Classic,' the 'Great Universe Sword Art,' and the 'Heaven-Devouring Flame Technique' firmly etched in my mind, I will lay the most solid foundation from the beginning. As long as I cultivate steadily, it won't be long before I regain my previous cultivation level."

"At that time, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!" Li Xuan's eyes flashed with determination.

"Dang, dang..."

Suddenly, the bedroom door was lightly knocked.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, silently lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a man and a woman peeked inside. Seeing Li Xuan lying motionless on the bed, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you he was asleep. No need to worry," the man said with a smirk, casually patting the woman's body.

The woman's voice was tender, "I was afraid he might suddenly wake up!"

"Don't worry, I spiked his drink with a sleeping potion. He's sleeping like a log now, won't wake up until tomorrow morning at the earliest," the man said, smugly.

"So, you had a plan all along!" the woman scolded playfully.

"Who asked you to be so charming? A moment of passion is worth more than gold. Forget about him, let's go to the next room," the man said, embracing the woman and leaving.

Once they were gone, Li Xuan slowly got up, recovering fragments of distant memories one by one. A hint of anger surged within him.

"So, that's how it happened..." Li Xuan muttered to himself.

In his previous life, he had been a well-off young heir from a wealthy family. However, at the age of twenty-one, his fate took a dramatic turn, plunging him into an abyss. If not for obtaining the immortal legacy, he might have remained trampled underfoot forever.

And all of this was related to the couple he had just encountered!

This villa belonged to the man from earlier, Zhang Shihua, a well-known second-generation wealthy individual in Anzhou City. His family's business, Zhang Pharmaceutical, monopolized over eighty percent of the traditional Chinese medicine trade in the city, making them a significant player.

Li Xuan's family also owned a medicinal herb company, though it couldn't compare to Zhang Pharmaceutical. Nonetheless, it was still quite prosperous, making Li Xuan a minor second-generation wealthy individual.

In his previous life, on this very day, Li Xuan and his girlfriend, Zhai Xin, had been invited by Zhang Shihua to attend a party at his villa on the outskirts of town.

That night, Li Xuan had gotten incredibly drunk and lost consciousness.

The next morning, a group of police officers stood by his bedside, apprehending Li Xuan to test his blood and urine, revealing traces of illicit substances.

Li Xuan's parents spent a significant sum of money on lawyers and connections, trying to mitigate the situation, but he was still sentenced to six months of detention.

After serving his time, Li Xuan emerged from custody, only to find that Zhai Xin had become Zhang Shihua's girlfriend.

Li Xuan was well aware of what had happened. At a youthful and impulsive age, he confronted them with a knife, seeking revenge.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Shihua was prepared. The moment Li Xuan brandished the knife, he was gravely injured by hired bodyguards.

After that incident,

Zhang Pharmaceutical systematically suppressed Li Xuan's family business, rendering it unable to survive. Eventually, they went bankrupt, leaving them burdened with immense debt.

Li Xuan's parents were ensnared in debt-related lawsuits, and they were detained for over a year before being released upon proving their innocence. By that time, their health had deteriorated.

All of these misfortunes had traces leading back to the Zhang family. Li Xuan was filled with anger, despair, and madness, but he was powerless. He was even pursued by assassins sent by the Zhang family, leading him to a life of exile.

During his days of fleeing like a stray dog, his parents passed away one after another, and he couldn't even return home to bid them a final farewell.

One day, Li Xuan was cornered by Zhang family assassins in a desolate wilderness, falling into a cave. It was there that he obtained the immortal legacy, embarking on a

completely different path.

When he finally achieved success in his cultivation and considered seeking revenge, he realized the immortal realm had no concept of time, and centuries had passed on Earth. There were no longer any enemies to be found.

The hatred and resentment from his past life had become an unremovable thorn in Li Xuan's heart, even transforming into inner demons during his breakthroughs, nearly causing him to fall into madness.

In this life, the same events would not repeat.

A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring of gratitude.

For the betrayals and treacheries, a raging tsunami of retribution shall follow!

Li Xuan made up his mind, quietly got up, and left the bedroom.

The booming music assaulted his ears as he descended the stairs. The massive living room on the villa's first floor was filled with young men and women dancing wildly, lost in their own ecstasy.

These were the guests invited by Zhang Shihua, mostly other second-generation wealthy individuals, indulging in carefree revelry.

Li Xuan could clearly see several couples passionately kissing in the corner and others exploring each other's bodies on the dance floor.

It seemed that in a little while, an unrestrained party without any inhibitions would unfold here.

Shaking his head, Li Xuan was about to leave when a woman walked towards him and collided into his embrace.
