Zi Clan Mansion, Outskirts of the Tang Dynasty, Heavenly Sea Continent

A young man was laying down on a bed, breathless, when suddenly his eyes opened! He slowly fluttered his eyes before holding his head and groaning in pain.

An ENORMOUS amount of memories flooded into his brain, flashing silver occasionally.

After a while, his pained expression died down and he let out a breath, muttering softly “Zi Tian?” he slowly sat up and his eyes flashed with deep vicissitudes, completely unlike a 16 year old boy.

He suddenly frowned and the light in his eyes flashed over and over before melting into his irises, brightening them significantly! Zi Tian’s mouth gaped as he muttered “Wow! A complete soul integration!”

Naturally, Zi Tian was shocked.

Even a super duper supreme expert would be shocked!

A complete soul integration was impossible and only existed in theory based on legends! Basically, it was the fusion of 2 souls, creating a seamless new soul! Not only did it create a new soul, but the old and new soul would vanish and become a new soul entirely!

This wasn’t to say that Zi Tian was dead!

Not at all!

A complete Soul Integration would simply merge the 2 souls perfectly and preserve both memories and souls. The new soul and body of a complete soul integration would experience a deep cleansing and reform the talent of a cultivator!

Zi Tian was lucky beyond belief!

He was Zi Tian through and through, the only difference was that he had the memories and experiences of a supreme expert! Not just any supreme expert, but the Supreme Alchemy and Fire expert, Supreme Song Tian!

Song Tian was a legend and an unfathomable character in ancient times, he died because of a treasure that broke the laws of the world he was in. It was a Purple Crystal Cauldron!

Zi Tian looked internally at his body’s situation and was again thoroughly shocked! He had the Purple Crystal Cauldron in his Dantian along with an illusory Purple Fire in his consciousness!

He glanced at his body and before his eyeballs could roll out of his skull and to the ground, a cute little maid walked in and shrieked in fright looking at him, she suddenly ran away, screaming “The Young Master woke up! Notify the patriarch! Hurry!”

In the Patriarch’s study

A man was sitting in a wheelchair with a big frown on his face. He had a head of long white hair that looked dull, he had big wrinkles on his face, and seemed to radiate weakness.

He was the Zi Clan Patriarch, Zi Yang!

Zi Yang had also coincidentally become a complete Soul Integration a few dozen minutes ago. He gained all the memories of Zi Yang, the patriarch of the Zi Clan.

Zi Yang looked up at the ceiling and sighed “For Fuck’s sake… This damn old man died at his table with so many damn regrets…” he sifted through memories and digested them thoroughly.

Strangely enough, Zi Yang wasn’t too shocked by his reincarnation.

Truthfully, he had read so many novels and books that he somewhat expected this outcome. After all, he chose the cliff with great care. He could cite several stories that started with the Protagonist jumping off a cliff and becoming a legend fighting Gods, Devils, Buddhas, and Immortals!

The only thing he didn’t expect was fate to play a cruel trick on him!

The Patriarch, Zi Yang, was one sorry and sad old man. He wasn’t even that old, but even Zi Yang felt tired looking through his memories! The old man used to be a genius that traveled far and wide having adventures until he met a beautiful woman!

They shared many life and death situations and slowly fell in love. New Zi Yang wasn’t surprised as he expected this, but Old Yang was blindsided when his cute wife’s family found them and took her back.

Zi Yang looked angry at the next events.

Old Yang was helpless against his In-Laws and in the end, his wife begged for his life to be spared if she went back. Naturally, the family agreed and took her back.

Old Yang vowed revenge and took their then 6 year old son, Zi Tian, back with him to establish the current Zi Clan.

Old Yang didn’t foresee the obvious countermeasures from his wife’s clan and was thoroughly crippled.

Zi Yang grimaced at this.

His wife’s clan sure was fierce!

Not only did they cripple his dantian, but they also crippled his legs completely! Old Yang thought it would stop there, but who would’ve thought that his wife’s brother and father would even force him to burn his vitality and even cripple his son!

Zi Yang took a deep breath and shook his head in pity. He felt pity to himself, because he WAS Old Yang and Old Yang was him. Zi Yang remembered the first and last words he had heard Old Yang say.

‘Damn! You have it tough, Me!’

Zi Yang wanted to punch himself in the face! What a complete bastard! Not only did Old Yang give him complete control, he even let his consciousness be merged and devoured!

What this meant was, Old Yang and Zi Yang were one and the same! Old Yang’s wife was Zi Yang’s wife and Ling Mei was Old Yang’s old love!

Naturally, it was somewhat strange for Zi Yang to suddenly have feelings for this woman he ‘hadn’t met’ but the truth was that he had met her many times!

The love for Yao Mu and hatred for Ling Mei were both boundless!

It was very strange.

Old Yang also didn’t like Sun Tao and wanted to slap him to death.

Old Yang is the best.

Zi Yang grinned to himself ‘No matter. I’m Old Yang now.’ he turned his wheelchair to the side and rolled to the window, looking out at the mountains.

His dull eyes were blood red as his gaze seemed to pierce the firmament and look into the void. His lips slowly curled up and became crazy, he cackled a bit and uttered bloodthirstily “Just wait Sun Tao… I will come back for you…”

His eyes brightened harsher than the sun as he cackled “And when I do, death will be a luxury.”

Suddenly, there was a shout “Patriarch! The Young Master is awake!”

Zi Yang’s eyes dulled and became a bit gentle, his mouth softened into a warm smile before everything vanished and he uttered coldly “Bring him to me, immediately!”
