Villain: I Am Wronged, Master, I Am Really Not A Scumbag

He once became an emperor after achieving enlightenment, and he ruled the Immortal Realm for five thousand years, unmatched in power and prestige.

But unfortunately, he did not live to old age.

He was poisoned and had his Dao Fruit stolen.

In the end, he died and his Dao dissipated.

However, because he possessed an Immortal Realm treasure, he managed to escape with his residual soul and be reborn.

And he carried all his memories and that treasure with him.

He was born into an ordinary mortal farming family.

"In this life, I will definitely achieve enlightenment again!"

"And then seek revenge on that scum!"

Just as Tang Yu was secretly plotting his revenge,

A plain-looking, beautiful and ethereal girl beside him handed him a water bottle.

"Brother, drink some water."

"Oh, thank you, Xiaowu."

Tang Yu took the water bottle and thanked Su Qingwu as he drank.

"Brother, look at all these people, they're all going to Yaochi Sacred Land."

"Can the two of us really enter the sacred land?"

Su Qingwu asked timidly.

She had basically stayed in the village her whole life.

At most, she had been to the town and nearby small cities, so her experiences were limited.

"Of course we can!"

"Xiaowu, your talent is the most outstanding I've ever seen, there won't be any problem!"

Tang Yu affirmed with a smile, his eyes filled with affection.

Su Qingwu was his childhood sweetheart from the same village.

Tang Yu was older, and they had always treated each other as siblings.

But Tang Yu had long held affection for her.

He had noticed her extraordinary background from the first time he saw her.

Perhaps she was also a reincarnation of a powerful being, but she hadn't awakened her past life memories.

In their small village where there was no cultivation environment to speak of, Tang Yu had struggled to cultivate on his own.

But when he taught Su Qingwu a set of Saint-level techniques from his memories,

He didn't even need to give much guidance, let alone provide cultivation resources.

However, Su Qingwu made rapid progress all the way.

At the age of eighteen, she reached the peak of the Origin Palace Realm!

This talent was even more terrifying than the geniuses of those immortal families!

Because of this, Tang Yu had long made up his mind.

When the time was right, he would confess his feelings to Su Qingwu and completely win over his childhood sweetheart.

By then, he would not only be able to win the beauty's heart.

But this unparalleled genius would also be a huge help in the future.

Although Su Qingwu still treated him as a brother and their relationship was good.

With his two lifetimes of experience, he had absolute confidence.

He would definitely make Su Qingwu completely his!

...

Soon, a massive army of people arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain.

The sacred land was located on a towering mountain.

And at this moment, ten three-zhang tall five-colored crystal stones stood in front of the mountain path.

These were the testing crystal stones of the sacred land.

Just by touching them, one could roughly determine their talent.

According to the quality of talent, the crystal stones would display white, blue, purple, orange, and gold, five colors.

Only those with purple or higher talent could enter the Yaochi Sacred Land.

Orange qualification will directly be accepted as an inner disciple.

Golden qualification will be selected by the peak masters, even the sect leader, and accepted as a true disciple after being chosen.

However, in each recruitment of disciples, at least 99% of the people have blue or white qualifications.

Only a few are able to successfully enter the Yaochi.

At this moment, there is already a long line in front of the ten testing crystals.

Under the arrangement of the ten Yaochi elders, the testing is conducted in order.

Every moment, there are people who cry and leave in regret because their qualifications are shown to be white or blue.

Some even go crazy on the spot when they realize their limited qualifications and the hopelessness of entering the holy land.

The people behind them immediately push them aside and continue with the testing, showing no mercy to those who are not chosen.

The desire to enter the holy land has extinguished many of their worldly desires.

Even couples who came together.

The woman has purple qualifications.

But the man has blue qualifications.

At the moment when the qualification test results come out.

The woman is ecstatic and almost bursts into laughter.

Then she turns her head and coldly says to the man.

"Our fate has come to an end. I deserve someone better!"

"Let's part ways, perhaps never to meet again!"

This kind of phenomenon is very common.

The secular mortals in the city at the foot of the mountain call it "the first sword on the mountain, slaying the one in your heart!"

...

...

The qualification testing is proceeding quickly.

But there are too many people.

After waiting for about an hour, Tang Yu and Su Qingwu finally reach one of the crystals.

First is Tang Yu.

He confidently and without hesitation reaches out and touches the crystal.

In the next moment, a faint golden light flashes from the crystal.

"Hmm? Golden qualification!"

"After testing for so long, we finally have a disciple with golden qualification!"

"I wonder which peak this young man will be accepted into?"

As the golden light shines, the other nine elders immediately look over, all filled with joy.

They start discussing Tang Yu's future with great interest.

And the thousands of young people present, after seeing this golden light.

They are all shocked and the scene becomes extremely noisy.

The sound of envy, jealousy, and hatred fills the air.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu, sensing everything around him.

Shows a hint of pride on his face.

His lips curl up slightly as he secretly sneers.

"A bunch of ordinary people, frogs at the bottom of a well."

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of my abilities."

"But it's true that the Tianji Demon Tower lives up to its reputation."

"Even with my mortal body, I can still have such qualifications thanks to the transformation."

Tang Yu thinks to himself and instinctively touches his chest.

Inside his Origin Palace, a mysterious and unfathomable dark purple tower is spinning non-stop.

This is the Immortal Realm treasure he obtained in his previous life, the Tianji Demon Tower!

The grade of this pagoda is unknown.

Although it is not an imperial weapon, it is even more versatile than an imperial weapon.

Its defensive, oppressive, and evasive abilities are extremely strong, and it can also improve innate talent.

Tang Yu was able to escape and be reborn in this world because of its protection.

"In my previous life, when I obtained this small pagoda, I was already at the Great Emperor Realm and couldn't rely on it to improve my innate talent."

"In this life, I will definitely use it to make up for regrets, forge the strongest foundation, and strive for greatness once again..."

While Tang Yu was envisioning the future, feeling ecstatic, he was suddenly interrupted by an elder in front of him.

"Hey hey hey, young man, don't stand there foolishly laughing!"

"Quickly leave your name, place of origin, cultivation level, and area of expertise with me."

"Later, come back with us to the sect, where the peak masters will assess you."

"After choosing a mentor, you will become a true disciple of our Yaochi Sacred Land!"

The elder chuckled and said.

He thought that Tang Yu was just like a certain man surnamed Fan that he had seen before.

Passing the first test, he was overjoyed!

"Cough... cough... Oh, alright..."

Tang Yu awkwardly snapped back to reality and immediately began to leave his name.

At the same time, he made way for Su Qingwu behind him.

"Xiaowu, it's your turn, test quickly!"

"Uh... uh..."

Su Qingwu nodded.

With her eyes closed, she slowly placed her hand on the crystal.

"Buzz——!"

In the next moment, a golden light several times brighter than before burst out from the crystal!

"What?!"

"Another golden talent? Two consecutive golds?!"

"Such a dazzling golden light... In all the times I've recruited disciples for the sacred land, I've never seen this before!"

"This girl's talent is extraordinary!"

"Perhaps even the Sect Master might take notice!"

"Wow! In my opinion..."

"This golden color is just the limit of the crystal, not her limit!"

The ten elders were all pleasantly surprised, full of admiration.

Being able to recruit such outstanding disciples this time, they would definitely receive commendations when they returned to the sacred land.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu looked at the dazzling golden light in front of Su Qingwu.

Although there was a hint of jealousy, there was more excitement and joy.

He already cherished Su Qingwu like a treasure and was determined to win her over.

After testing two disciples with golden talents in a row, the crowd became even more excited, rushing forward to test.

It was as if, after seeing others draw gold and orange, they immediately followed suit, desperately drawing cards!

But in the end, after a whole day, only Tang Yu and Su Qingwu, two disciples with golden talents, were tested.

Finally, night fell.

Everyone at the foot of the mountain had finally finished testing.

The vast queue of tens of thousands of people.

In the end, only one hundred people were qualified to enter the sacred land.

After the test ended, the ten elders rode on auspicious clouds and brought Tang Yu and the others up the sacred mountain together.

As the group soared through the clouds and arrived in the middle of Yaochi Sacred Land.

Only to see the distant mountains shrouded in mist and clouds.

Clear springs are abundant in Lingxi, and precious medicinal herbs grow in clusters.

Countless divine birds and immortal cranes fly gracefully in the sky.

Looking into the distance, four towering peaks that reach the clouds stand in the four corners of the sacred land.

Elegant and secluded pavilions and towers are situated on each of the four peaks.

It is truly a scene of immortal charm.

All the young people who have just entered the sacred land are amazed.

"Wow! Brother, this place is so beautiful! It's much more beautiful than the mountains where we come from!"

"Can we really live in a place like this? It's amazing!"

Su Qingwu also looked at it with excitement and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course, you can stay as long as you want," Tang Yu replied with a proud and casual smile.

With his vision, he had seen all kinds of immortal grandeur.

This place was just the first step for him to return to the peak.

And at this moment, his gaze was not on the surrounding scenery.

Instead, it was on a three-zhang high green stone next to the gate of the sacred land.

Above the green stone, there was a rusty sword inserted diagonally...

Tang Yu stared at the rusty sword and examined it for a while.

He couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect my previous life's sword, Bloodthirst, to be left behind in this Yaochi Sacred Land!"

"Unfortunately, Bloodthirst Sword is heavily damaged now, not even comparable to a noble weapon."

"But it's just right to be used as a weapon for me now."

Tang Yu considered in his heart.

This rusty sword was his only sword weapon in his previous life, the Bloodthirst Sword!

This sword was extremely mysterious and could devour the flesh and blood of living beings to strengthen itself!

If it devoured to the extreme, it might even have a chance to evolve into an emperor-level weapon!

Unfortunately, he didn't focus on sword cultivation to become an emperor in his previous life.

His emperor-level weapon for enlightenment was a fairy gold-cast halberd.

It has also been lost now, and its whereabouts are unknown.

Although he had killed many in his life,

in the end, he only let Bloodthirst evolve to the level of a Quasi-Emperor weapon.

In the final battle before his death, Bloodthirst was severely damaged.

That's why it ended up here.

Just as Tang Yu was considering whether to go and retrieve the sword now,

an elder suddenly appeared and kindly smiled at everyone.

"New disciples,"

"Before you enter the sacred land and meet the peak masters, there is one more thing."

"Take a look at the rusty sword on the green stone ahead."

"That is the weapon left by the previous generation's Peak Master of the Sword-Asking Peak."

"Before his death, he placed this sword here."

"He also left a testament that whoever can pull out this rusty sword will become the master of the Sword-Asking Peak."

"No matter what level of talent you have, you can directly become a disciple of the Sword-Asking Peak!"

After the elder finished speaking, he cunningly smiled and tempted everyone.

"Young ones, the status of this sword is far superior to that of true disciples. It is the successor of the Sword-Asking Peak's master!"

Everyone understood that within the Yaochi Sacred Land, there were four great peaks.

When disciples entered, they would be selected to join one of the peaks.

The peak masters of the four peaks had a high status, second only to the head of the sacred land.

Upon hearing the opportunity to directly become the successor of a peak master,

everyone became restless!

Especially those with purple talent, their eyes lit up instantly!

Originally, they thought they could only enter the sacred land as ordinary disciples.

They didn't expect that there would be a chance to change their destiny!
