Chapter 1708: Chapter 147: Different Story (2)

Superpower wielder? Cultivator?

Surely not just an ordinary person, right?

No wonder the seemingly foolish father could amass such a vast family business and marry such a beautiful wife...

So that’s how it is, that’s how it is!

Nobody saw the baby’s tender hand tightly clenching beneath the swaddling, nor the glint in the infant’s eyes.

The once backward and dull noble house suddenly came alive, the baby was eager to know how humans could reach such an extent.

No longer hiding, after all, if monsters capable of punching through mountains can exist, then a baby who talks early doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?

After that night, he no longer concealed his extraordinary talent. Babbling words, simple dialogues to recognizing writings, it only took him a mere three years.

If it weren’t for the frailty and quick fatigue of the infant’s body, perhaps the process could have been even shorter.

The reason he studied a strange culture so desperately was merely to learn martial arts as quickly as possible.

But when he was ready to embark on the Foundation Building course, all he got was devastating news.

Although he was physically sound and mentally clear, he was naturally abhorred by Spiritual Power, a complete Body of Devoid of Spirit.

In other words, he was naturally incapable of cultivation and could only be an ordinary person.

There’s nothing more disappointing than this news; the path of martial arts he had eagerly anticipated was cut short before it even began.

Since that day, Tang Luo never smiled again, immersing himself daily in the Scripture Pavilion to research ancient texts, seeking a solution to his inability to cultivate.

But it was all in vain; it seemed as if fate was playing a cruel joke on him, and not even his wealthy family could solve the problem of his inability to cultivate.

Watching her son becoming increasingly thin due to this, his mother Xu Shuhui couldn’t bear it anymore and revealed a big secret to him.

It turns out that the world’s most powerful force is called the Sacred Land, and the descendants of the holy sages of the ancient Human Race live there.

His mother Xu Shuhui was from such a powerful Sacred Land!

If such a powerful Sacred Land existed, surely it had a way to resolve his body’s issues!

With an excited heart, Tang Luo went with his mother Xu Shuhui to Yuanzhou, then met his uncle and grandfather, and even the man revered as the Sword Master.

However, even the beings at the pinnacle of the Sacred Land were unable to solve his Body of Devoid of Spirit issue.

At that moment, he truly gave up hope and no longer inquired about martial arts, idly wasting his days in Ying City with the identity of a relative by marriage from the Xu Clan.

But as a child born of a mother who had eloped, even a distant Xu Clan relative looked down on him, ashamed to associate with him.

Tang Luo wasn’t angry, he enjoyed his solitary freedom until the Tang Family had an incident, and the Xu Clan decided to enforce family law on his mother.

Upon hearing the news, he fought with all his might against it, disregarding his own life, but in the end, he could not spare his mother from punishment.

Since then, his status in the Xu Clan became even more awkward, but what could a person who was unable to cultivate do to counteract the punishment of the Sacred Land?

In pain and despair, Tang Luo was like a sludge, spending his days wandering in taverns.

One day, he encountered disciples of the Xu Clan. They looked down on him, as indolent as mud, and spoke of how a shameless woman deserved such fate.

Drunk and collapsed on the ground, he rose like a wild beast, seething with rage and challenging the Xu Clan disciple who insulted his mother to a duel.

With the full strength of his body, he thrust the hidden dagger from his sleeve, but to the Xu Clan disciple, it posed no threat at all.

Without even using Spiritual Power, the Xu Clan disciple simply sidestepped and pushed, sending Tang Luo flying far away.

An untrained body that drank daily was incredibly fragile; Tang Luo fell to the ground and lost consciousness. When he awoke, he was no longer even human...

Right now, he seemed to have become a celestial body?

...

Atop Red Cloud Mountain,

Having set up the formation, Yun Xiu followed the instructions and began guiding Tang Luo, who was in a meditative state, with Charming Eyes.

But she was completely unsure about this approach, thinking that her husband, with his intelligence, would immediately see through such a fabricated story.

Unexpectedly, however, these clearly flawed memories were fully accepted. Watching her husband in a state of slumber, Yun Xiu could hardly believe it.

Using Charming Eyes to delve into her husband’s Sea of Consciousness, she could even see him constructing an extremely small Fuling Star Domain within himself, immersing his soul shrunk to the size of a potato, and rotating and revolving along some trajectory within his own star domain.

It was as if he had condensed the celestial map of the night sky by billions of magnitudes and projected it into a Void Spiritual Body.

"This... is truly madness!"

Confirming the success of Tang Luo’s arrangement, Yun Xiu dissipated Charming Eyes and trembled with sentiment at the sight before her, overwhelmed with shock, she left the encircled formation.

She didn’t know exactly what Tang Luo was doing, but she had a hunch that, if this could be accomplished, her husband would embark on a path never before seen by the ancients.

...

As a child, Tang Luo heard from his mother that people became stars in the sky after they died.

As he grew up, he learned it was just a story to comfort a young boy.

But now, he really didn’t know what to make of this situation because it seemed like he had truly become a star.

Only, this definitely wasn’t the Milky Way, as he could not see any of the star systems he was familiar with.

Perhaps seeing isn’t quite accurate, for his current state was more like a completely fixed viewpoint on a sphere, though he retained the ability to think, he felt nothing.
