# The Spirit Beast I Raised for 10,000 Years Betrayed Me… So I Came Back for Revenge | Anime Recap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vxZmK7ylLc

[00:00] The very first thing I did after being reborn was strangle the divine beast azure bird that I had nurtured with 10,000 years of my own essence blood.
[00:08] The reason was simple.
[00:10] On the day of my ascension in my previous life, the azure bird that I had bonded with using my heart's blood suddenly flew toward my junior brother, Mo Chongqing.
[00:17] Mo Chongqing rode the azure bird and passed through the five layers of heavenly lightning, cultivating a golden immortal body while I lost my divine beast and was struck by heavenly tribulation until my soul was completely destroyed and all my cultivation was scattered.
[00:31] Afterward, Moongqing falsely accused me of stealing his divine beast.
[00:36] My fellow disciples ripped out my immortal bone and threw me into the demon vault where I suffered endless torture for tens of thousands of years.
[00:41] Even until my death, I could not understand why the azure bird that I had nourished with my own essence blood betrayed me and chose Mochangqing as its master.
[00:49] When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the time before ascension.
[00:52] Soon it will be the day for all of you disciples to ascend.
[00:56] A familiar voice said, "Ming Kang, among all these disciples, your talent is the
[01:00] Most outstanding.
[01:02] It's a pity my son doesn't possess your abilities.
[01:04] He is naturally dull-witted.
[01:06] If only he had 1/10,000th of your talent.
[01:08] I wouldn't worry so much.
[01:10] Looking at the person before me, venerable Jindu, I finally realized that I had truly been reborn.
[01:15] A monstrous hatred surged through my heart.
[01:17] The suffering of my previous life had surpassed even the pain of losing my immortal bone.
[01:21] The humiliation and torment of the demon vault were things I could never forget, even across countless lifetimes.
[01:28] Venerable Jindu continued praising me enthusiastically.
[01:30] Mong Chang, you are the disciple most favored by the sect master.
[01:32] Your ascension is approaching.
[01:35] You must properly train your divine beast and strive to cultivate a golden body.
[01:39] Although my heart burned with hatred, I lowered my head and smiled politely on the surface.
[01:43] Please rest assured, venerable, I will cultivate diligently and ascend successfully.
[01:47] In truth, ascension did not depend only on one's cultivation.
[01:51] It also depended on the strength of one's divine beast.
[01:55] A powerful divine beast could help its master resist heavenly tribulations and even grant 10,000 years of cultivation.
[02:01] In my previous life, I had heard that if I signed a soul contract with a divine beast using my heart's blood, it would become intelligent and help me ascend.
[02:09] Because of that belief, every single day, I pierced my own chest with a silver needle, drawing out a bowl of steaming fresh blood to nourish the azure bird with my very life.
[02:16] The azure bird quickly grew seven colored feathers and eventually cultivated its own primordial spirit.
[02:22] It could even dual cultivate with me.
[02:24] Ordinary Azure birds could only serve as flying mounts and occasionally swallow water or Spitfire, but their magical abilities were average.
[02:32] An azure bird capable of cultivating a primordial spirit like mine was already considered a top tier divine beast.
[02:38] On the day of ascension, I brought my seven-colored azure bird to undergo the heavenly tribulation.
[02:42] But the moment Mo Chongqing appeared, the bird spread its wings and flew straight to his side.
[02:47] Mo Chongqing smiled arrogantly as he stroked the bird's feathers and publicly shouted at me, "Senior brother, so this is where my divine beast went after being stolen.
[02:57] You replaced it with an ordinary azure bird.
[02:59] So the thief was actually you.
[03:01] But senior brother, this seven-colored azure
[03:03] bird was raised by me every single day.
[03:06] It already shares a deep bond with me.
[03:08] No matter how much you steal, you can never take it away.
[03:12] The moment the other disciples saw the seven-colored azure bird, they all praised Mo Chongqing for his extraordinary talent.
[03:18] Then they turned around and mocked me without hesitation.
[03:19] I really thought Mckang was talented.
[03:21] Turns out he's just a thief.
[03:23] Divine beasts are carefully raised by their masters and develop deep feelings for them.
[03:27] How could something like that even be stolen?
[03:28] The disciples had always favored Mo Chongqing.
[03:30] It wasn't only because he was the youngest junior brother of the sect, but also because he was the biological son of venerable Jindu.
[03:38] Riding my seven-colored divine bird, Mo Chongqing became the first to break through the five layers of heavenly lightning and cultivate a golden immortal body.
[03:46] Meanwhile, my fellow disciples ripped out my immortal bone.
[03:50] With no cultivation left, I was struck by heavenly lightning until my flesh turned black and charred.
[03:53] And even then, Mo Chongqing still proposed, looking at me with a smile.
[03:57] Senior brother, you no longer have an immortal bone.
[04:00] In my previous life, Mo Chongqing looked at me and said, "You will only
[04:04] bring shame to the reputation of the Tani sect.
[04:05] Although I do not blame you for stealing my divine beast, those who make mistakes must still be punished.
[04:12] As punishment, you shall undergo tribulation in the demon vault for 10,000 years.
[04:15] All of my fellow disciples praised Mo Chongqing for being merciful, saying he had spared my life.
[04:20] But what followed was worse than death.
[04:22] They threw me into the demon vault, where I was trampled on and humiliated every single day.
[04:28] I endured endless suffering there for 10,000 years before finally being tortured to death.
[04:32] After returning to my room in this life, I immediately walked toward the cage in front of me.
[04:35] Inside was the very azure bird I had carefully raised in my previous life.
[04:39] The bird slowly approached me and rubbed its neck affectionately against my hand.
[04:42] As I stroked its neck, memories of the past flashed through my mind.
[04:46] Then my fingers tightened.
[04:48] With a sharp twist, I snapped its neck instantly.
[04:50] My heart achd with pain and hatred at the same time.
[04:53] But a beast that had betrayed its master could never be allowed to continue living in this world.
[04:57] This time, I wanted to see how Mochongqing would ascend without it.
[05:00] Afterward, I turned around and headed straight for the immortal spirit forest.
[05:03] In my
[05:05] previous life, when I first entered that forest, I had seen several azure birds filled with immortal energy.
[05:11] The one I eventually chose had been lying deep within the forest with an injured wing, barely clinging to life.
[05:14] I had pied it and brought it back to the sect.
[05:18] But now things were different.
[05:20] I needed to capture a new one.
[05:22] Since I had successfully nurtured a seven-colored azure bird in my previous life, there was no reason I could not do it again.
[05:27] After entering the immortal spirit forest, I soon heard the clear cry of an azure bird echoing through the trees.
[05:32] Following the sound, I made my way deeper into the forest until I discovered a young bird beside a patch of immortal herbs.
[05:37] Its body was thin and weak, but its feathers shown with an extraordinary brilliance.
[05:44] The moment I saw it, I picked it up and carried it back to the sect.
[05:46] This time, I was extremely cautious.
[05:48] Everyday, I kept the young bird inside a cage and fed it with complete dedication.
[05:55] At the same time, I placed powerful talismans around the entrance to my room so that no disciple would be able to casually enter and interfere.
[06:00] I had already paid the price of trusting others once, and I had no intention of repeating that mistake.
[06:06] This life belonged to me, and I would make sure that nobody, not even Mo Chongqing, could steal my future again.
[06:12] This time, let's see how Mo Chongqing steals it, I thought confidently.
[06:17] But only a few days later, I heard shocking news.
[06:19] Mo Chongqing had also gone to the immortal spirit forest and returned with a young bird of his own.
[06:23] The disciples were discussing it excitedly.
[06:25] "Junior brother is so kind-hearted. Why would he raise such a tiny bird?"
[06:31] One of them said, "It's just a little hatchling. Its body is so small that its wings can barely support it."
[06:37] The moment I heard that, my heart sank.
[06:40] Mo Chongqing was raising a young bird, too.
[06:42] There was no way such a coincidence could happen naturally.
[06:44] I immediately rushed back to my room and stared at the young bird inside my cage.
[06:47] Without hesitation, I reached out and snapped its neck.
[06:51] Then I entered the immortal spirit forest once again.
[06:53] This time, I didn't care whether they were young birds, mature birds, or old birds.
[06:57] I captured dozens of Azure birds and brought them all back to the sect.
[07:01] Every single one of them was locked inside the same cage.
[07:03] I deliberately refused to feed them,
[07:06] forcing them to fight among themselves for survival.
[07:10] Half a month later, only one bird remained alive.
[07:11] It was a fierce, battleh hardened adult bird that had slaughtered all the others.
[07:15] As I prepared to use a silver needle to draw my heart's blood and sign a contract with it, something completely unexpected happened.
[07:21] The azure bird suddenly became restless.
[07:23] It flapped its wings wildly and kept crying toward the doorway as if it sensed someone approaching.
[07:28] At that exact moment, a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers drifted into my nose.
[07:32] I turned my head and saw Mo Changqing walking past my room on his way toward venerable Jindu<unk>s residence.
[07:37] The instant Mo Chongqing disappeared from sight, the bird inside my cage stopped crying and calmed down.
[07:41] I stood there frozen.
[07:43] Why?
[07:43] Why was this happening?
[07:45] Why did every divine beast I nurtured eventually recognize Mo Chongqing as its master?
[07:49] Fear slowly began devouring my mind.
[07:51] That night, venerable Jindu summoned me for a conversation.
[07:55] After the discussion ended and I stepped outside, I immediately ran into Mo Chongqing.
[07:58] He looked at me and revealed a strange smile.
[08:00] Senior brother, I heard you killed your own azure bird mount, he said.
[08:04] You're incredibly talented.
[08:04] I'm
[08:06] looking forward to seeing you shine brilliantly on the day of ascension.
[08:09] You must prepare well.
[08:11] His tone carried an unmistakable hint of amusement, as if he knew something I didn't.
[08:15] Then he walked into venerable Jindu's room.
[08:17] Instead of leaving, I quietly remained outside the door and listened to their conversation.
[08:21] Venerable Jindu asked, "Chongqing, how is your divine beast progressing?"
[08:24] Mo Chongqing chuckled softly before replying, "Father, I recently came up with a brilliant idea.
[08:28] Before I raised a young bird, but it was too weak.
[08:33] It wasn't suitable as a mount at all.
[08:34] Honestly, it was only good enough to be cooked into soup.
[08:37] Recently, I thought of a much better method.
[08:39] I went into the immortal spirit forest and captured more than a dozen azure birds.
[08:44] Then I locked them inside a cage together and trained them.
[08:45] I let them kill each other until only one remained.
[08:47] Now there is only a single adult bird left.
[08:49] It's fierce and difficult to tame, but its potential is extraordinary.
[08:53] I believe that if I raise it carefully, it will eventually transform into a seven-colored azure bird.
[08:59] Every word Mo Chongqing spoke felt as though it had been intentionally directed at me.
[09:05] The process he described was exactly the same as the one I had
[09:07] used.
[09:07] Every step matched perfectly.
[09:09] I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my palms.
[09:13] What was going on?
[09:13] Where had I gone wrong?
[09:15] No matter how hard I thought about it, I could not find an answer.
[09:19] Yet, one detail kept lingering in my mind.
[09:22] Earlier, when Mo Chongqing had passed by me, I had once again smelled that familiar fragrance of Osmantha's flowers coming from his body.
[09:27] But that made no sense.
[09:29] As far as I remembered, Mo Chongqing had never liked perfumes or fragrances.
[09:34] And the Tani sect was a sacred immortal sect where disciples rarely used such worldly scents.
[09:39] The more I thought about it, the stranger everything became and a growing feeling told me that the secret behind all my suffering might be hidden within that faint scent of osmanthis.
[09:47] In the Tiani sect, everyone focused on cultivation, whether male or female, nobody liked the scent of cosmetics or perfumes.
[09:56] Yet, at that moment, a realization slowly surfaced in my mind.
[09:58] On the day of ascension in my previous life, Mo Chongqing seemed to have carried that same faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
[10:06] After returning to my room, I stared at the last remaining
[10:08] Azure bird in the cage.
[10:10] After thinking for a long time, I picked up a dagger and stabbed the bird to death with my own hands.
[10:16] Since every azure bird I raised would eventually betray me, there was no point in keeping it alive.
[10:19] After killing the final bird, I made a decision.
[10:23] If Ascension was destined to end in disaster, then I would simply abandon Ascension altogether.
[10:26] Without hesitation, I went directly to venerable Jindu and announced, "Venerable, I wish to descend into the mortal world and undergo tribulation."
[10:34] The moment he heard those words, venerable Jindu flew into a rage.
[10:36] "Mingqang, have you gone mad? Do you even realize what time this is?"
[10:40] "Your ascension is only days away."
[10:42] "You have cultivated for a thousand years for this very moment to ascend and become an immortal."
[10:47] "You can descend and undergo tribulation at any other time."
[10:50] "Why choose now?"
[10:52] Then he summoned all my fellow disciples and ordered them to persuade me.
[10:55] When everyone heard that I wanted to descend to the mortal world, every single one of them thought I had lost my mind.
[11:00] My senior brother kindly advised me, "Menqang, among all the disciples ascending this year, you have the greatest talent."
[11:04] "Don't throw a childish tantrum now."
[11:08] added, "That's right, senior brother.
[11:10] If you want to descend to the mortal world, you can do it later.
[11:12] Why now?
[11:14] Have you become confused?
[11:16] Everyone looked heartbroken, but none more so than venerable Jindu.
[11:18] His voice sounded like that of a loving father as he said,
[11:21] "Mang, I raised you with my own hands.
[11:25] I absolutely will not allow you to make such a foolish decision.
[11:27] If I had not been reborn, I would have believed every word and thought he genuinely cared about me."
[11:32] Suddenly, the doors burst open and Mo Changqing rushed into the room.
[11:33] "Myang, why did you kill all your azure birds?"
[11:38] The anxiety in his voice was obvious.
[11:40] I almost laughed.
[11:43] Without my birds, how exactly was Mo Chongqing supposed to pass the heavenly tribulation?
[11:46] Venerable Jindu immediately said,
[11:48] "Mongchang, if the birds are dead, then they are dead.
[11:50] I will give you another one.
[11:52] Raise it properly and never speak of descending to the mortal world again."
[11:57] But I ignored everyone's persuasion completely.
[11:58] Looking at the twisted expression on Mo Chongqing's face filled me with satisfaction.
[12:02] Then I soared toward the immortal platform.
[12:04] Facing the endless mortal world beneath the heavens, I closed my eyes and
[12:10] jumped.
[12:12] One day in heaven equaled one year in the mortal realm.
[12:14] When I leapt from the immortal platform, there were only 18 days left before the ascension ceremony.
[12:17] 18 days in heaven meant 18 full years for me on Earth.
[12:22] After descending, I did not waste any time among mortals.
[12:23] Instead, I headed straight for the demon vault.
[12:25] I still remembered the scent on Mo Chongqing's body, the intoxicating fragrance of Osmanthus.
[12:31] In my previous life, I would never have recognized it, but after suffering 10,000 years in the demon vault, I knew exactly what it was.
[12:39] The scent came from the 10,000 affection flower, a legendary plant that grew at the peak of the demon realm and possessed the ability to attract all beasts.
[12:49] 990,000 years ago, during the great war between immortals and demons, the demon lord had used the fragrance of the 10,000 affection flower to lure countless immortal beasts.
[12:55] The resulting chaos had led to the deaths of three immortal venerables and numerous elders.
[13:01] Later, a great cultivator from the ninth heaven entered the demon realm and discovered the antidote known as the red kang fruit.
[13:07] Using it, the immortals drove the demon lord into retreat.
[13:11] Eventually, the demons were forced to flee and establish themselves in the farthest reaches of the mortal world, forever losing their chance to dominate the heavens.
[13:18] I should have realized it sooner.
[13:19] Mo Chongqing was colluding with the demon realm.
[13:21] For 18 years, I searched throughout the demon vault.
[13:25] Finally, within the ninth layer of the demon domain, I found the legendary red Kang fruit.
[13:30] 18 years passed in the mortal world, and at last, the day of ascension arrived once again for the disciples of the Tiani sect.
[13:36] This time, I had not cultivated an immortal body.
[13:38] Instead, I had cultivated demonic arts.
[13:40] Disguising myself as a young immortal attendant, I blended into the crowd to watch the ascension ceremony.
[13:46] There were not many disciples ascending this year, including Mo Chongqing.
[13:50] There were only a little more than 10.
[13:51] Without me participating, the most talented disciple had become my junior brother, Yune Hezi.
[13:56] Riding his Azure bird, Yune Hezi was the first to step onto the ascension platform.
[13:59] But just as he commanded the bird to carry him upward, the Azure bird suddenly went berserk.
[14:03] In the next moment, it spati true fire and crazily attacked Yune Hezi.
[14:08] The surrounding disciples were stunned.
[14:12] What is happening?
[14:12] one shouted.
[14:14] Why has Junior Brother Yun's azure bird gone mad?
[14:19] Another exclaimed, "Isn't that Yun Junior brother's divine beast?
[14:21] Divine beasts are supposed to be loyal.
[14:23] Why would it attack its own master?
[14:25] At that moment, Mo Chongqing stepped out from the crowd.
[14:27] He casually waved his hand and the azure bird immediately flew to his side.
[14:31] Then it let out a cheerful cry of delight.
[14:32] Mo Chongqing gently stroked the bird while looking at Yunhees with a deeply wronged expression.
[14:37] Senior brother Yun, why did you steal my divine beast?
[14:40] I raised this azure bird everyday, and it already formed a bond with me.
[14:44] Even if you stole it, it would never obey your commands.
[14:46] I almost applauded.
[14:48] The same old trick again.
[14:50] The only difference was that this time I had not participated in the ascension ceremony.
[14:54] So the unlucky victim had changed from me to junior brother Yun.
[14:59] Hearing Mo Chongqing's accusation, Yunhizzy looked completely bewildered.
[15:00] Junior brother, what are you talking about?
[15:02] I personally raised this Azure bird.
[15:06] How could it possibly be yours?
[15:08] Mo Chongqing immediately laughed.
[15:10] Senior brother Yun, everyone knows that Azure
[15:12] birds recognize the person who raises them.
[15:14] Although I haven't raised this bird for very long, I feed it with my heart's blood every single day.
[15:20] It already recognizes me as its master.
[15:23] No matter how cleverly you steal it, you can never truly take it away.
[15:27] At once, the disciples of the Tani sect began nodding in agreement.
[15:31] That's right.
[15:31] Azure birds recognize their masters.
[15:33] The birds we raise will only acknowledge a single master in their entire lives.
[15:37] There's no way such a bond can be stolen.
[15:38] As I watched the familiar scene unfold before my eyes, the rage buried within my heart surged once more.
[15:45] Everything was happening exactly as it had in my previous life.
[15:49] The only difference was that now I finally understood the secret hidden behind it all.
[15:52] And this time I had come prepared.
[15:54] The disciples immediately began speaking one after another.
[15:56] As your birds only recognize one master for their entire lives, they would never change their loyalty.
[16:01] How could senior brother Yun do something so shameless?
[16:03] This is absolutely disgusting.
[16:05] Junior brother works so hard.
[16:06] Every day he endures the pain of drawing his heart's blood just to nourish his azure bird.
[16:10] Yet Yune Hezi
[16:13] actually stole his mount.
[16:14] He brought this upon himself.
[16:16] A despicable person like him doesn't deserve to remain in the Tani sect.
[16:18] That's right.
[16:20] The thief must be expelled from the sect.
[16:22] He must be severely punished.
[16:24] Standing on the ascension platform, Yune Hezi was already covered in wounds.
[16:28] Faced with countless accusations, he could barely defend himself.
[16:29] He stared at Mo Chongqing in disbelief and shouted,
[16:32] "Junior brother, how can you slander me like this?"
[16:34] Mo Chongqing immediately put on a wronged expression and said pitifully,
[16:39] "Senior brother Yun, I know you stole my Azure bird because you wanted to ascend.
[16:43] Honestly, I shouldn't have exposed you in front of so many people today.
[16:44] If you hate someone, hate me.
[16:46] But if you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for abandoning the righteous path and choosing to become a thief."
[16:52] Yunhizy was never good with words.
[16:54] Meanwhile, Mo Chongqing's innocent act fooled all the senior brothers and sisters around him.
[16:58] One by one, they began sympathizing with him instead.
[17:00] Just then, the person who had been absent the entire time finally appeared.
[17:06] Accompanied by a brilliant golden light, venerable Jindu slowly descended onto the ascension platform.
[17:10] The moment he arrived, he immediately
[17:14] declared Yune Hezi guilty.
[17:16] Yune Hezi, you have truly disappointed me.
[17:18] Last night, I saw you sneaking around outside Chongqing's room.
[17:22] At the time, I assumed you merely wished to speak with him, so I said nothing.
[17:26] Never did I imagine that you would steal Chongqing's azure bird for your own selfish desires.
[17:31] The Tani sect can no longer keep someone like you.
[17:33] From this day forward, I shall remove your immortal bone.
[17:37] Go descend to the mortal world and live as a common man.
[17:39] Hearing those words, my eyes grew cold.
[17:41] In my previous life, he had used that exact same tone to declare me the thief.
[17:44] Without any investigation, he had decided my guilt with a single sentence.
[17:48] Then they removed my immortal roots, severed the tendons in my limbs, and threw me into the demon vault.
[17:54] Inside that hellish place, a red furred fox demon tortured me day after day.
[17:58] Suddenly, a memory surfaced.
[18:00] Back when I was barely clinging to life, that fox demon had whispered something into my ear.
[18:05] Who do you think you are to compete for his things?
[18:07] He is an immortal of the heavens, while you are merely a servant of the demon race.
[18:11] Naturally, my flesh and blood deserves the greatest treasures in the world.
[18:13] At the time, I
[18:15] Never understood what those words meant.
[18:17] But now, everything became clear.
[18:19] Mo Chongqing was actually the son of that red furred fox demon.
[18:23] In my previous life, everyone knew venerable Jindu was Mo Chongqing's father, but nobody knew the identity of his mother.
[18:29] The clues had been there all along.
[18:31] I had simply been too stupid to see through the schemes of their family.
[18:34] While I was lost in thought, venerable Jindu had already cast his spell.
[18:36] Yhesi's immortal bone was ripped from his body.
[18:40] With a wave of his sleeve, he threw Yune Hezi off the immortal platform.
[18:44] Meanwhile, Mo Chongqing stood there proudly stroking the Azure bird beside him.
[18:48] Then, he leaped onto its back, lowered his head, and whispered something into its ear.
[18:52] The bird spread its wings and carried him onto the ascension platform before soaring straight toward the ninth heaven.
[18:57] In an instant, thunder, lightning, and heavenly flames filled the sky.
[19:03] At the same time, I secretly pulled the red kang fruit from my pocket and crushed it.
[19:07] A sharp, sour scent immediately spread through the air.
[19:09] This scent was the natural enemy of the 10,000 affection flower and could completely neutralize its influence.
[19:15] Within moments, the fragrance drifted across the ascension platform.
[19:18] High above the crowd, Mo Chongqing was still riding the Azure Bird confidently when his body suddenly jerked.
[19:25] Nobody noticed it at first, but the Azure Bird had already begun losing control.
[19:29] "Then a heavenly lightning bolt crashed directly toward him."
[19:31] "As your bird, use your flames!"
[19:33] Mo Changqing shouted desperately.
[19:35] But before the bird could obey, it completely lost control.
[19:39] It flapped its wings frantically and suddenly turned around to attack him instead.
[19:45] In the blink of an eye, Samati true fire engulfed Mo Chongqing's body.
[19:47] His flesh burned black and before he could escape, another heavenly lightning bolt pierced straight through his skull.
[19:55] Everyone watched in horror as Mo Chongqing's body floated in midair.
[19:57] His skin turned dark while a ghostly white glow emerged from the skeletal remains inside him.
[20:03] It was the unmistakable sign of an immortal bone being destroyed by heavenly tribulation.
[20:07] Venerable Jindu's face instantly changed.
[20:09] He shot into the air, caught Mo Chongqing, and carefully carried him back to the ascension platform.
[20:14] The disciples of the Tiani sect stood frozen
[20:16] in shock. What just happened? Why did
[20:18] the Azure bird betray Junior brother?
[20:21] Could it be that this divine beast never
[20:23] belonged to him in the first place? By
[20:25] now, Mo Chongqing's immortal bone had
[20:27] been shattered, and all his cultivation
[20:29] was gone. Venerable Jindu's eyes burned
[20:31] with fury. Raising his palm, he struck
[20:33] the crazed azure bird and killed it on
[20:35] the spot. Then he roared, "A worthless
[20:37] beast almost killed my son." At that
[20:39] moment, I slowly stepped out from the
[20:41] crowd. Looking at the scene before me, I
[20:43] let out a cold laugh filled with
[20:44] mockery. The azure bird isn't at fault
[20:47] at all, I said loudly. If you want to
[20:49] blame someone, blame Mo Chongqing for
[20:52] using filthy methods to steal Junior
[20:54] Brother Yun's divine beast. This is
[20:56] nothing more than karma. The moment
[20:58] those words left my mouth, everyone
[21:00] turned toward me. Countless eyes locked
[21:02] onto my figure. "Who is that?" someone
[21:04] asked in shock. "Why does his voice
[21:06] sound so familiar?" Suddenly, the entire
[21:08] ascension platform fell silent as every
[21:10] gaze focused on me. The truth that had
[21:12] been buried for so long was finally
[21:13] about to come to light. Only 18 days
[21:15] have passed. "How could he possibly be
[21:17] back already?" someone shouted in
[21:18] disbelief. Another disciple immediately
[21:20] cried out, "It's really Mkang. One day
[21:23] in heaven equals one year in the mortal
[21:24] world." The crowd erupted into chaos. At
[21:27] that moment, several younger disciples
[21:28] looked at me with confusion and asked,
[21:30] "Senior brother Ming Kang, what did you
[21:31] mean by what you just said? Why did you
[21:33] say Junior Brother Mo stole Yhey's azure
[21:35] bird? Clearly, it was Yhei who had evil
[21:37] intentions and stole Junior Brother Mo's
[21:39] divine beast." Hearing that, I raised an
[21:41] eyebrow and smiled coldly. Then I slowly
[21:44] walked toward Venerable Jindu and Mo
[21:46] Changqing. Reaching into my sleeve, I
[21:47] pulled out a small red fruit. Holding it
[21:49] up for everyone to see, I said, "Junior
[21:51] Brother Mo, you never expected this, did
[21:53] you? The rouge intoxication you obtained
[21:55] from the demon realm could never
[21:56] guarantee your ascension. All it takes
[21:59] is a single red Kang fruit like this to
[22:01] neutralize its enchanting fragrance."
[22:02] The moment venerable Jindu heard my
[22:04] words, his face turned deathly pale.
[22:07] However, he immediately stood up and
[22:08] loudly rebuked me. Mung Kang, what
[22:11] nonsense are you talking about? Why is
[22:13] there such dense demonic energy around
[22:15] your body? You descended to the mortal
[22:17] world as an ordinary human. Yet, after
[22:19] only 18 years, you somehow returned to
[22:21] the ascension platform. You cultivated
[22:23] demonic arts as expected of venerable
[22:25] Jindu. With just one glance, he saw the
[22:27] demonic aura surrounding me. Then, he
[22:29] roared in anger, his expression filled
[22:31] with disappointment. Mckang, how could
[22:33] you walk the path of demons? Not only
[22:35] that, but you even used demonic
[22:37] techniques to harm your own junior
[22:39] brother. I truly misjudged you. I almost
[22:41] laughed. With only a few simple
[22:43] sentences, he was already trying to
[22:45] throw all the blame onto me. The
[22:46] disciples of the Tiani sect immediately
[22:48] exploded into discussion after hearing
[22:50] his accusations. One senior brother
[22:52] pointed at me and shouted, "Munk, you
[22:55] actually became a demon cultivator.
[22:57] Since you walk the demonic path, you are
[22:59] the enemy of the Tani sect. Today, I
[23:02] will personally kill you." Another
[23:04] disciple followed. That's right.
[23:06] Eliminating demons is our duty. The
[23:08] azure bird going mad and attacking both
[23:10] Yune Hezi and Mo Chongqing must have
[23:12] been his doing. At the same time,
[23:13] venerable Jindu quietly gathered
[23:15] spiritual power in his palm, preparing
[23:17] to launch a sneak attack from behind.
[23:19] Looking at all of them, I let out a cold
[23:20] snort through clenched teeth. A bunch of
[23:23] fools, I said. All of you combined can't
[23:25] even produce a single golden body
[23:26] cultivator. Yet you think you can kill
[23:28] me. The next moment, I shot into the sky
[23:30] and landed at the center of the
[23:32] ascension platform. Looking down at the
[23:33] familiar ground beneath my feet,
[23:35] memories of my previous life flooded my
[23:37] mind. Back then, I had stood here as
[23:39] well, riding my azure bird toward
[23:42] ascension. Yet, despite all my
[23:43] preparations, I had still failed to
[23:45] survive the five heavenly tribulations.
[23:48] Suddenly, a thought surfaced in my
[23:49] heart. Why did immortal sex disciples
[23:51] rely on azure birds to ascend? Why did
[23:53] they depend on divine beasts to resist
[23:55] heavenly lightning? My fate belongs to
[23:57] me, not to heaven. The instant that
[23:59] realization appeared, my eyes turned
[24:01] crimson red. Without hesitation, I
[24:03] charged straight toward the ninth heaven
[24:04] alone. The disciples below were
[24:06] completely stunned. Mingqang has gone
[24:08] insane, someone shouted. Without an
[24:10] azure bird, there's no way to survive
[24:11] the heavenly tribulation. He's seeking
[24:13] death, but I paid no attention to them.
[24:15] I continued soaring higher and higher
[24:17] toward the heavens. As I ascended, dark
[24:20] clouds gathered above me. Thunder roared
[24:22] across the sky while the waters of the
[24:23] heavenly river poured down endlessly,
[24:26] washing over my body. The pressure was
[24:28] overwhelming, enough to crush ordinary
[24:29] cultivators instantly. Yet I refused to
[24:32] stop. Then just as the heavenly river
[24:34] completely swallowed me, something
[24:35] extraordinary happened. A dazzling
[24:37] five-colored radiance suddenly erupted
[24:39] from within my body. Brilliant light
[24:41] burst through the endless waters and
[24:43] illuminated the entire sky. Every
[24:44] disciple of the Tani sect stared upward
[24:46] in shock. The crowd became completely
[24:48] silent. Then a disciple hidden among the
[24:50] crowd muttered in a trembling voice, "An
[24:53] immortal body that cannot die." As those
[24:55] words spread through the crowd,
[24:57] countless expressions changed instantly.
[24:59] Nobody could believe what they were
[25:00] witnessing because the legendary
[25:02] physique that countless cultivators had
[25:04] pursued for millions of years was now
[25:05] appearing before their eyes and it was
[25:07] emerging from the person they had all
[25:09] once condemned and abandoned. Me, Mang
[25:11] Chang. A disciple stared at the sky with
[25:13] trembling eyes and whispered, "For a
[25:15] 100,000 years, no one has managed to
[25:17] cultivate the seven-colored soul body."
[25:18] Another disciple immediately exclaimed,
[25:20] "Mong Kang has become an ancient divine
[25:22] god. The last ancient divine god
[25:24] appeared over a 100,000 years ago." The
[25:26] moment those words spread, the entire
[25:28] ascension platform fell into silence.
[25:30] Then one after another, the disciples
[25:32] dropped to their knees and began
[25:33] cowtowing toward the heavens. Even
[25:35] venerable Jindu, who had always stood
[25:37] high above everyone else, could not hide
[25:39] the fear on his face. His body trembled
[25:41] as he knelt on the ground, repeatedly
[25:43] muttering, "How is this possible? How
[25:45] can this be?" At the same time, I
[25:46] shattered the fifth heavenly tribulation
[25:48] and absorbed every bolt of lightning and
[25:50] every strand of heavenly fire directly
[25:52] into my body. My figure floated high
[25:54] above the ninth heaven, overlooking all
[25:56] existence. At that moment, I felt
[25:58] completely detached from worldly
[26:00] emotions. Looking down at the crowd
[26:02] below, I spoke in a cold voice devoid of
[26:04] any warmth. Venerable Jindu, do you know
[26:06] your crimes? My voice echoed throughout
[26:08] heaven and earth. Back then, when you
[26:10] descended to eliminate demons, you
[26:11] secretly had relations with the red
[26:13] furred fox demon of the demon realm and
[26:15] gave birth to the abomination known as
[26:17] Mo Changqing. To protect your son, you
[26:19] joined forces with the fox demon and
[26:21] obtained rouge intoxication, using it to
[26:24] attract azure birds and frame your
[26:26] fellow disciples. Do you know your
[26:27] crimes? Venerable Jindu immediately
[26:29] tried to defend himself. But before he
[26:31] could speak, I casually flicked a
[26:32] finger. Instantly, a massive divine halo
[26:35] appeared above the ninth heaven. As an
[26:37] ancient divine god, I possessed the
[26:39] power to observe both the past and the
[26:41] future. Within the halo, scenes from the
[26:43] past began appearing one after another.
[26:45] Everyone watched as venerable Jindo
[26:47] embraced the red furred fox demon in
[26:49] secret. Then another scene appeared
[26:51] showing Mo Chongqing and venerable Jindu
[26:54] plotting together inside a room. Mo
[26:55] Chongqing's face was twisted with malice
[26:57] as he said, "With the rouge intoxication
[26:59] mother gave me, I will definitely ascend
[27:02] this year. I want Mang's azure bird." A
[27:05] bastard with no parents has no right to
[27:06] possess such a treasure. Not only will I
[27:08] take his azure bird, but I will also
[27:10] remove his immortal bone, sever his
[27:12] tendons, and throw him into the demon
[27:14] vault. To everyone's horror, the
[27:16] normally kind and respected, venerable
[27:17] Jindu nodded in agreement. That's right.
[27:21] Anyone who dares stand in my son's way
[27:23] will pay the price. I'm already tired of
[27:25] being an elder of the Tiani sect. Son,
[27:28] once you cultivate a golden body, we'll
[27:31] find a way to seize control of the
[27:32] entire sect. When that day comes,
[27:35] everything under heaven and earth will
[27:36] belong to our family. As the scenes
[27:38] played out inside the divine halo, the
[27:40] truth was revealed for all to see. The
[27:42] ambitions, greed, and schemes of
[27:44] venerable Jindu and Mo Chongqing were
[27:46] completely exposed. Shock spread across
[27:48] the faces of every disciple present.
[27:50] Many of them looked as though their
[27:51] entire world had collapsed. With another
[27:53] wave of my sleeve, I directly stripped
[27:55] venerable Jindu of his immortal bone. As
[27:57] for Mo Chongqing and the red furred fox
[28:00] demon, I had no intention of sparing
[28:02] them either. In my previous life, I had
[28:04] suffered endless torment in the demon
[28:05] vault for 10,000 years. This time, I
[28:07] decided to be a good person and reunite
[28:10] their family forever. Beyond the heavens
[28:12] existed a place known as the Valley of
[28:13] 10,000 sorrows. There stood 18
[28:16] heaven-piercing pillars, each covered
[28:18] with countless golden spikes. Every day,
[28:20] innumerable evil spirits descended there
[28:22] to tear apart the flesh and organs of
[28:24] those imprisoned within. Looking at
[28:25] venerable Jindu, Mo Chongqing, and the
[28:28] red furred fox demon, I decided to give
[28:30] them a special gift. Raising my hand, I
[28:32] spoke in the name of a divine god. I
[28:34] hereby decree that venerable Jindu, Mo
[28:37] Chongqing, and the red furred fox demon
[28:40] shall share the lifespan of heaven and
[28:41] earth itself. May they live forever and
[28:44] endure endless suffering for all
[28:46] eternity. May their torment repeat
[28:47] without end, never ceasing for a single
[28:50] day. The moment my decree was completed,
[28:52] divine laws descended upon them. Their
[28:54] screams echoed throughout the heavens as
[28:56] they were dragged away toward the valley
[28:58] of 10,000 sorrows. After dealing with
[29:00] venerable Jindu and the others, I took
[29:02] one final glance at the world below. The
[29:04] Tani sect, the disciples, the grudges,
[29:06] and the hatred that had once consumed my
[29:08] life all seemed insignificant now. Then,
[29:11] with a single step, my figure vanished
[29:13] completely beyond the ninth heaven,
[29:14] disappearing into the endless cosmos.
[29:16] From that day onward, the legend of Mang
[29:18] Kong spread throughout every realm. Some
[29:20] called me the ancient divine god who
[29:22] shattered fate itself. Others spoke of
[29:24] me as the immortal who ascended without
[29:26] relying on a divine beast. But none of
[29:28] that mattered anymore. The moment I left
[29:30] the heavens behind, all grudges from
[29:32] both lifetimes finally came to an
