In a small two storied house located on the outskirts of Shanghai City, a young man abruptly woke up from sleep. The wall clock indicated that it was 3:03 am. Most people would think that the young man must have experienced a nightmare, but there was no fear reflected in his eyes, only disbelief and contemplation. The room was nothing fancy and the furniture and furnishing depicted the picture of the room of an adolescent young man from a middle class household. On the study table next to the bed was a picture frame, with a picture of a family of three, a middle couple and teenage boy. This was the same boy on the bed Wu Tian, only a few years older.
The boy in question on the other hand was preoccupied as he his mind churned rapidly trying to understand the situation. After sometime he breaks his thoughts and with a glitter in his eyes spoke out, " I really am back. The Heavenly Dao really did give me a second chance. I really thought I would be buried in the divine tribulation for eternity."
Yes, Wu Tian was reborn, or rather he was sent back almost 100,000 years in time. Before his rebirth, Wu Tian had been the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal World and stood at the top of cultivation peak. He had overcome many obstacles, suppressed enemies and built his strength to be called a heaven defying genius. He had also become an immortal after only 10000 years of cultivation, a feat which was unprecedented under the heavens. He reached the peak of Immortal Realm in another 80000+ years, shaking all the immortal realms and made every sentient being look upto him.
The strong of the immortal realm gave him the moniker of Sky Martial Immortal, and bowed down to him in deference. Wu Tian had felt invincible on his path but during the last step of his cultivation path, he had failed. During the divine tribulation of God Burial his Dao heart had given birth to terrifying heart demons that he did not anticipate. In the aftermath of his death he heard the voice of the heavenly Dao enlightening him of the cause.
Before Wu Tian started his cultivation path, he used to be an ordinary young man from an average household in China. He had loving parents, but neither were they very rich nor influential. His childhood had been rather peaceful but once he stepped in college his life had been rather tumultuous. During college he had hopelessly fallen in love with a beautiful girl from a very rich family in Shanghai, and had pursued her relentlessly until she broke his heart humiliating him infront of the whole college. Broken in love and seething in anger, he fell for another beauty from his college who showed him sympathy, and promised to help him exact revenge. Blinded by hatred, he had not seen the trap set for him, and he gave up everything to pursue revenge. At the end he was able to gain revenge, but was late to understand that it was all a trap as he was used as a chess piece in a struggle between influential families. The other beauty who had helped him disappeared from his side mysteriously as he was left to face the brunt of retribution from the girl's influential family members and others looking to curry favor.
His parents job and lives was destroyed. Their careers ruined and he had been termed a fugitive who could only live a life on the run. During such a pursuit he had accidentally fallen into sea and disappeared. While everyone thought he was dead he was actually rescued by a passing cultivator who on seeing his cultivation qualifications had taken him to the world of cultivation. Shamed by his actions he had never returned back to Earth and buried those memories deep in his heart. Since then he had only focused on cultivation and given up on all worldly emotions. only during his failure in tribulation that he understood from the Heavenly Dao that those memories which can be considered to be a drop of water in the ocean were the main reason for his downfall. His rejection of worldly emotions rather than facing them never opened the severe knot in his Dao Heart.
"Looks like the heavenly Dao has given me a fair second chance" Wu Tian said with glint in his eyes. He looked around the long forgotten room, the furnishings and finally landed on the photo frame on the table. Looking at the two faces whose memories he had tried so hard to bury in his past life, Wu Tian couldn't help but tear up a little.
Soon his gaze changed into a determined look. Even though all the painstaking cultivation he had was gone, all the heavenly artifacts on him was gone, he remained undaunted. He could feel the blood inside his body was the same immortal blood that he had obtained after reforging his physique. His immortal soul had also travelled back with him, and the myriad cultivation and martial techniques that he obtained still remained fresh within his memory which gave him a pleasant surprise.
"So what if I have to start from the beginning. My immortal physique has travelled back with me and so have my past memories. I can start on the cultivation path earlier than my previous life. Also, the heavens have given me a chance to prevent a lot of tragedies from happening."
Wu Tian opened his bedroom window and looked out at the vast sky, his eyes filled with determination, joy and killing intent as he made a determined vow.
"Ying Family, Bai Family, Miao Yunxi, Shiyang Consortium did you think you would get away with plotting behind people's backs. I hope you don't cross the line this time or I would ruin you. Mom, Dad anyone who misbehaves or hurts you in this life I swear that they will know despair unlike any other. In this life I will live without regrets, build my own Dao Path to supremacy and achieve divinity without fail. Anyone who dares stand infront of me or impeach my path, will cease their right of existence. In this life only I would reign Supreme ."
The moment these words were uttered by Wu Tian, unbeknownst to him a golden vortex formed in the outer layer of Earth's atmosphere as if a sign of the heavens solemnly acknowledging the vow.
