Chapter 85: The Advantage is Mine—How Could I Possibly Lose in This Life?
"Fate Book?"
Ning Changyu softly called out in his mind.
In an instant, he saw a golden ancient book quietly floating within his sea of consciousness.
Upon seeing this, the joy in Ning Changyu's eyes intensified.
Who would have thought that not only had he been reborn to five hundred years ago, but even this Fate Book had come back with him!
In his previous life, it was by relying on the Fate Book, which he had accidentally obtained, that he could examine and strip others of their destinies. This allowed him to rise suddenly and reach the Apex!
In this life, not only did he return with the experience and knowledge of five hundred years ahead, but he also brought back his greatest trump card!
"With so many aces in my hand, I really don’t know how I could possibly lose in this life."
A faint smile appeared on Ning Changyu's face.
In this life, he not only intended to make up for past regrets, but he also planned to carve out a path even stronger than his previous one, to prove his eternal Dao!
"Then, everything will start with controlling the Xu family."
He lifted his head and looked into the distance, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Time passed slowly.
The sun gradually descended.
Suddenly, at the horizon, a figure riding an extraordinary chestnut horse, dressed in red combat attire and holding a cold, gleaming spear, was slowly approaching.
It was a woman with delicate features and skin like white jade. Her long, waterfall-like black hair was tied into a high ponytail. Though not a peerless beauty, she exuded a heroic and valiant aura.
As she rode forward, the setting crimson sun behind her made it seem as if she had emerged from the sun itself, instantly drawing countless gazes.
Most notably, in her right hand, she was holding a bloodied head.
That head belonged to none other than Tong Guansheng, previously hailed as the number one prodigy of the Demonic Sect in Yunzhou!
Amidst the thousands of gazes, this unparalleled figure atop the horse entered the city with a calm expression.
Everyone was silent, instinctively parting to make way as they watched her head toward the Xu residence.
Moments later.
The heroic chestnut horse, clearly not ordinary, stopped at the entrance of the Xu residence.
Thud.
The bloodied head with its terrifying, wide-eyed expression was casually tossed in front of the Xu residence.
"Three years, and this land remains so weak. To think that someone at the mere peak of the Luminescence Realm could be hailed as the number one prodigy of the Demonic Sect. How laughable."
The woman in red, sitting atop the chestnut horse, tugged at the reins and spoke calmly. There was no pride or superiority in her tone; it seemed she was merely stating an ordinary fact.
The Xu family members were speechless, staring blankly at Xu Qingzhou.
After three years, the naturally cold Xu Qingzhou had grown even more powerful and distant, harder to approach.
In the next moment, Xu Qingzhou's gaze fell directly on Ning Changyu, who stood in the crowd. Her cold, crescent-shaped brows furrowed slightly as she shook her head and said:
"Three years ago, I told you, if you truly wish to marry me, you must surpass me in strength. Don’t come groveling to be my dependent."
"The husband I, Xu Qingzhou, want is someone who can keep pace with me, not a servant who only flatters me. To me, the gentleness of the weak is utterly worthless."
"Yet, three years later, you’ve made no progress at all. Your cultivation is still stuck in the Illusory Realm, not even entering the Luminescence Realm. You really disappoint me."
As soon as these words fell, all eyes immediately turned toward Ning Changyu.
However.
The Ning Changyu they remembered—the one who was timid in everything and endured bullying without a word—now stepped forward from the crowd.
"Is the Luminescence Realm that powerful? If I wanted to enter, I could do so in just three days!"
Ning Changyu raised his head and looked directly at Xu Qingzhou, speaking calmly.
As soon as he said this, laughter erupted from the crowd.
"Is this guy out of his mind today?"
"Three days to enter the Luminescence Realm? Did Ning Changyu drink too much and lose his senses?"
Even Xu Qinghe, the second son of the Xu family, chuckled, "I understand wanting to show off in front of Qingzhou, but boasting like this only makes you look like a clown."
Ning Changyu ignored the laughter around him, his gaze remaining steady on Xu Qingzhou.
A bunch of frogs in a well, how could they possibly understand the means of Ning Changyu, the Heavenly Lord?
The reason he hadn’t left yet was because he had one goal: Xu Qingzhou!
Just a moment ago, through the Fate Book in his sea of consciousness, he saw that Xu Qingzhou not only had the top-tier Blazing Gold destiny but also possessed the rare and unparalleled Mystic Yin Divine Body, a supreme furnace!
Such a physique, once coupled with someone, could bring unimaginable benefits to the partner!
It would greatly accelerate his cultivation!
"In my previous life, I rose too late, and before I could even get close to her, Xu Qingzhou met a tragic end due to an accident."
"In this life, not only will the Xu family be mine, but Xu Qingzhou will also belong to me!"
Ning Changyu’s heart burned as he gazed at Xu Qingzhou atop the horse.
Xu Qingzhou, on the other hand, was momentarily stunned by his words before giving a faint smile, "I hope so."
She then turned to Xu Laotai, her once cold face softening slightly with warmth as she spoke:
"Great-Grandmother, I’ve returned from the Qianyang Academy mainly because of the Eastern Xuan Domain Competition."
"I’ve heard that the prodigies of several major forces are gathering at the Chen family of Ziwei, and I’d like to go have a look."
The next day.
The Xu family’s flying boat left Yunzhou’s capital, cutting through the clouds as it sailed toward the Chen family of Ziwei.
Xu Qingzhou, dressed in her red combat attire, long spear on her back, stood at the forefront of the deck, her ponytail fluttering in the wind.
She stood alone, deep in thought.
Behind her were the elders and Xu family disciples who were also visiting the Chen family.
Ning Changyu was among them as well.
"The Chen family of Ziwei!"
Ning Changyu’s eyes narrowed, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Heh, Chen Zhixing, that fool who gave me treasures... he should still be just a little brat now, right?"
His thoughts began to churn.
In his previous life, after killing Chen Zhixing of the Chen family, he had obtained the Primordial Scripture and cultivated the Primordial Force. It was during the Eastern Xuan Domain Competition that he truly soared and reached the pinnacle!
Subsequently, the Chen family sent people after him several times, only to be continuously counterattacked by him.
With the opportunities he gained from slaying the Chen family members, his strength advanced rapidly, and by the time the Chen family realized the threat he posed, he had already risen to a point where he crushed the Chen family underfoot!
But according to the timeline from his previous life, this was all supposed to happen ten years later.
In his past life, at this moment, he would still have been stuck as the Xu family’s despised son-in-law, enduring scorn.
"Heh, Chen Zhixing and the Chen family of Ziwei are my greatest stepping stones on my path to power. How could I miss such an opportunity?"
"If I recall correctly, right now, the Chen family is in disarray after their Third Peak Lord, Chen Tianliang, was crippled. Chen Zhixing, that fool, is being ostracized by his peers, and his innate waste body makes it impossible for him to recover. He’s likely fallen into despair by now, unable to even reach the Spirit Nourishment Realm!"
"This time, when we reach the Chen family, I’ll find a chance to quietly kill that fool, take his Primordial Scripture, and keep having the Chen family deliver treasures to me!"
"With this, I’ll begin my rise!"
"Compared to my previous life, I will ascend ten years earlier!"
As Ning Changyu quietly plotted, a smile appeared on his lips.
Since his rebirth, everything had been going according to plan!
The advantage is mine!
"Sigh, I really don’t know how I could possibly lose in this life," Ning Changyu thought wistfully.
