"Lu Yuan, your awakening has failed. You'll never reach the Transcendent realm, and according to the clan rules, you are to be struck from the family register. Your surname is revoked effective immediately. Get out of the Lu family!"
At the ancestral rites, Lu Yuan is publicly humiliated. His father, who once risked his life to bring honor to the family, is barely cold in his grave, yet his own kin see him as a good-for-nothing who brings shame upon the clan.
Just as the clan leader's ink-stained brush is about to cross out Lu Yuan's name, a thunderous roar echoes in Lu Yuan's mind:
[Ding! A descendant's bloodline has been humiliated. The Lu family's ancestors are furious and have burst through their coffin lids to apply for a turn at fighting!]
"You unfilial descendant! Who gave you the nerve to lay a hand on my precious grandson?"
Inside the Lu family ancestral hall, the spirit tablet of the first family patriarch, sealed away for a thousand years, explodes. A sword intent sweeps across three thousand miles!
One after another, lingering souls powerful enough to shatter the void cross the gate between life and death:
[First-generation Ancestor (Sword Immortal): Don't be afraid, my good grandson. With this strike, your ancestor will teach you what true Lu family swordsmanship is!]
[Fifth-generation Ancestor (Alchemy Sage): You've suffered enough. Here's a ninth-grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill. Eat them like beans. Your talent lacking? Your ancestor will feed you until you become an Immortal Emperor!]
[Ninth-generation Ancestress (Empress): You dare bully the Lu family's only heir? I don't think this Lu family needs to exist anymore!]
That day, everyone in the Lu family knelt in terror.
That day, Lu Yuan, backed by the phantoms of a million ancestors, set out alone with his sword on an invincible path that would make the Myriad Worlds tremble!
