Chapter 3 - The new spring

Jing Xuan slowly opened his eyes, finding himself lying in an unfamiliar room.

The walls were adorned with old family engravings, and the luxurious furniture hinted at a once-glorious past.

.

His initial thoughts were filled with confusion; his body was young, full of strength and vitality, completely different from the old body he had left behind.

.

He sat up slowly, trying to grasp what had happened before the memories started flooding his mind.

They were the memories of Lang Tian—the boy who had sacrificed his soul for him—pouring in one after another like a story retold anew.

He saw Lang Tian's childhood in the Lang family, his life as an illegitimate child scorned by many, his suppressed ambitions, and his internal struggle to prove himself.

.

How he longed for his family's recognition, only to be rejected because of his birth.

Jing Xuan felt all of that pain, but he wasn't emotionally affected. To him, they were merely memories, not touching the core of his immortal self.

.

However, he now understood why Lang Tian had wanted him to return—to restore the Lang family's lost glory and prove his worth in a world that only recognized power and status.

He rose from the bed, ready to utilize the memories and information that had been given to him. Now, Jing Xuan was Lang Tian, with a young body and the mind of a grand alchemist who possessed 140 years of experience.

.

He looked around the room, which was undoubtedly part of the Lang family estate. He saw the faded remnants of an old power, but he resolved that he would rekindle that strength in his own way.

.

"So, this is my new body..." he murmured softly as he raised his hand to examine it. "This is the beginning... once again."

In that moment, memories continued to pour into his mind, like an unstoppable torrent. Images, events, and people began to form clearly in his head.

He remembered the(Golden Dao Era), the era of the Seven Immortals, a time when alchemy and cultivation reached their peak. The Lang family had once been among the greatest families, one of the three major families in (the Green Specter Tribe), renowned for their mastery of alchemy. However, the Lang family had declined over time, losing much of its former glory.

More memories surfaced. Jing Xuan recalled that he had a younger brother named *Lang Yun* and an older sister named Lang Xiao.

Lang Xiao was a prodigy in cultivation, blessed with a royal root, which made her stand out far beyond others in the (Eastern Heavenly Sect), one of the four great sects that ruled the continent.

All these new facts became clear to Jing Xuan as he sat in Lang Tian's body.

Now, he fully understood who he was, where he stood, and how to use this knowledge on his new path.
