Qi Zhiheng did not want to test people's hearts. What he said was only to the extent that people would envy. These inheritances were not considered treasures, so they would not cause everyone to fight for them.

However, Qi Zhiheng was soon proven wrong when Xu Jin led a group of people to his residence, demanding that he hand over the lost treasure of the Qinglan Sect.

Qi Zhiheng was both shocked and furious when he saw Xu Jin.

I never imagined that someone I considered my best friend would betray me because of a legacy that almost no one could cultivate.

Faced with overwhelming power, struggling was futile, and Qi Zhiheng was quickly captured and subjected to severe torture.

The storage ring had long since become one with Qi Zhiheng; for anyone else to even think of it was simply a pipe dream.

Qi Zhiheng had always believed that Xu Jin betrayed him because money could sway people's hearts, until one day Xu Jin met with him alone. Qi Zhiheng initially didn't want to pay him any attention, but Xu Jin only said one sentence that made Qi Zhiheng raise his head.

“I finally managed to trample you into the mud, but you insisted on getting up,” he continued when he saw Qi Zhiheng raise his head. “If you had just stayed in the fields and farmed for the rest of your life, I might have spared your life. But you insisted on getting some kind of inheritance.”

Xu Jin raised the whip in her hand and lashed it hard on Qi Zhiheng's body. Her expression turned ferocious. "We have the same father, so why are you so loved and pampered, while I am just a bastard son from a small family who is looked down upon by everyone?"

Xu Jin's hands continued moving, while Qi Zhiheng's heart was also in turmoil. His father had never taken a concubine in his life, yet he had a child older than him? He didn't believe it. His parents loved each other and would never tolerate anyone interfering. Moreover, his father had not remarried after his mother's death. This person must be talking nonsense.

After Xu Jin vented his anger, someone came and called him out.

Qi Zhiheng could sense that the number of guards around him had decreased by more than half, which must have meant that something had happened outside. He had been afraid to make any rash moves before for fear of exposing his space, but now was the perfect opportunity. Qi Zhiheng entered the space, and the people who were freed from their shackles slumped down. Qi Zhiheng then came out of the space and quickly left the spot. There were still a few guards left in the dungeon, and it took Qi Zhiheng quite a bit of effort to kill them all.

Qi Zhiheng was certain that something must have happened outside, since he had made such a big commotion but few people came to his aid.

Upon entering the courtyard, he discovered that his great-grandfather, whom he was so proud of, was easily defeated by the enemy's attack, and was knocked down with a single blow.

The sight before him made Qi Zhiheng's eyes turn bloodshot. The corpses of his relatives lay scattered on the ground, and his father had been cut down with a single blow. Qi Zhiheng rushed forward and caught his father's body, but by then the father had already died.

Qi Zhiheng felt a surge of energy and blood, and clouds gathered in the sky. He frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

There is no such thing as tribulation lightning on the Xuanling Continent, and the people around them are unaware of the situation.

But they didn't watch his movements. Immediately, someone attacked, only to be struck by a lightning bolt and lose half their life. This scene left the group looking at each other in bewilderment, not daring to step forward.

Qi Zhiheng was also struck and turned to charcoal. However, he possessed a lightning spiritual root, which allowed him to refine most of the heavenly lightning for his own use. Others were puzzled, but seeing that the lightning tribulation only struck him, they decided to wait and see.

After sixteen lightning tribulations, Qi Zhiheng successfully established his foundation.

Afterwards, Qi Zhiheng forcibly raised his strength to the late stage of Foundation Establishment by burning his own essence and blood.

After his momentum surged, he went on a killing spree, wiping out all the enemies around him.

This includes Xu Jin, who betrayed him.

Qi Zhiheng's actions were too drastic, attracting the attention of an elder from the Qinglan Sect at the Spirit Saint stage, equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Qi Zhiheng, having only forcibly elevated his cultivation, was no match for the elder and ultimately had no choice but to pull the enemy down with him in a self-destruction. Qi Zhiheng knew he was dead; his consciousness became increasingly hazy afterward.

Back to reality.

Qi Zhiheng discovered that his hand bones had shrunk. On the ground were broken medicine bowls, medicine juice, and his vomit. He looked up and saw a servant boy with a panicked expression.
