In the Tang Dynasty, Chongtie City, outside the "Longyuan" gate of the Wang family, it was just after noon and the scorching sun was in the sky. A group of Wang family's children were waiting outside the Longyuan gate early.
The Wang family is one of the three major families in Chongtie City. It is said that their ancestors were inner disciples of the Tiandao Sect, the first righteous cultivation sect. Later, they were expelled from the Tiandao Sect for making mistakes and ended up living in Chongtie City.
The Wang family was founded in Chongtie City and has continued to flourish to this day, becoming one of the three major aristocratic families in Chongtie City.
Longyuan is a secret place of the Wang family. There is only one door for entry and exit. This door is equipped with a dragon-breaking stone. The dragon-breaking stone weighs 100,000 kilograms and cannot be lifted by human hands. Once the dragon-breaking stone is put down, outsiders cannot enter.
In the Wang family, Longyuan is regarded as a secret room needed for cultivation to break through the bottleneck. Once a disciple of the Wang family is about to break through the bottleneck, they will go to Longyuan, apply for the Dragon Breaking Stone to be put down, and then break through the bottleneck before coming out.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a roaring sound came, and all the disciples of the Wang family suddenly felt the ground tremble. The Broken Dragon Stone in front of them slowly rose, revealing a dark cave entrance.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a young man in commoner clothes slowly walked out of the dark cave. The young man's face was pale, his teeth were biting his lips, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
"Cangtian, first level of Qi training." At the door of Longyuan, a middle-aged man glanced at the young man who came out indifferently, with a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes, and crossed out two words on the book in his hand - Cangtian.
Following the middle-aged man's words, there was a sarcastic commotion outside Longyuan.
"First level of Qi training? Hey, he still failed. Counting it all, this is the ninth time he has failed to build the foundation. He has to start training again."
"So what? He is a genius. We have worked hard for more than ten years to reach the ninth level of Qi training. He completed it in one year. What a genius!"
"So what if he practices fast? It's not that he can't build a foundation, but in the end it's all in vain. I think he's just a genius and a waste."
"Yes, this waste keeps wasting the family's resources and is simply dragging the family down."
"Who would let my grandfather be the leader of the clan? Otherwise, this kind of waste who cannot build a foundation should have been kicked out of the clan long ago and left to fend for himself."
"Don't talk about it. It's three months before his eighteenth-year-old adult ceremony. If he hasn't established a foundation by then, then even if his grandfather is the clan leader, he can no longer protect him."
"Speaking of which, he is definitely a genius with the speed of his cultivation. I really don't know why he can't build a foundation? Alas, it's a shame that a generation of geniuses has just declined."
"Who knows, maybe God will be jealous of you. They say God is jealous of talented people."
"I think he has been cursed by God. Look at his name. He dares to use the name 'Cangtian'. He is lucky if God doesn't strike him to death with a thunderbolt."
…
Listening to all kinds of ridicule, disdain and sighs coming from around him, the young man's already pale face turned even paler. Those words were like sharp thorns piercing deeply into his heart, making his body uncontrollably tremble.
"Perhaps, as they say, I am a person cursed by God!" A bitter smile appeared on the young man's pale face.
"The next one, Wang Ting, is on the third floor of the foundation building stage." The middle-aged man's voice rang in Cangtian's ears, and then a slim figure came gracefully. The appearance of the girl made the crowd tremble.
The girl is about the same age as Cangtian, seventeen or eighteen years old, but her beautiful face has already made the crowd shoot fiery glances.
"It's Wang Ting. I didn't expect that she has already reached the third level of the foundation building stage. This time she went to Longyuan to attack the fourth level of the foundation building stage. She is indeed a genius of our Wang family." There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"He is a seed-level person who has received intensive training from his family. How can we compare with him?" someone said sourly.
"Hmph, even if you were given intensive training by your family, you still wouldn't be able to reach the third level of the foundation building stage before the age of seventeen." Someone said disdainfully.
…
Passing by Cang Tian, a trace of disdain flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she stepped into the dragon abyss.
"Boom!"
The Broken Dragon Stone fell, causing the ground to tremble again.
As the Dragon Broken Stone fell, the crowd dispersed, leaving only a lonely figure.
Cang Tian stared blankly at the falling Dragon Broken Stone. The face of the girl before flashed in his mind. Once upon a time, that charming and sweet face had become so ruthless. Once upon a time, the girl who often followed him and affectionately called him Brother Cang Tian had left.
He is getting further and further away.
Just because he is a waste who cannot build a foundation.
"Am I really cursed by God?"
He looked up at the sky. The clouds in the sky seemed to have turned into mocking faces, and his ears were filled with those sarcastic voices just now.
Once upon a time, that young man who practiced cultivation at the age of eight and reached the foundation-building stage genius at the age of nine has now become a waste that everyone laughs at.
Just because the foundation building failed again and again.
Nine consecutive attempts to build the foundation failed, causing those who still had illusions about him to give up on him one by one. Even the grandfather who loved him the most no longer had any illusions.
In the past nine years, every failure in foundation building has been like a sharp blade, leaving nine deep wounds in Cangtian's heart.
"No, I can't give up. If it doesn't work for the ninth time, then it will be the tenth time. I don't believe that I can't build the foundation in this life."
The sky suddenly roared, and a faint purple light flashed in his eyes. He shook his head vigorously to eliminate the ridicule and sarcastic voices in his mind, and regained his previous firm belief in his heart.
Cang Tian, who has been an orphan since he was a child, has always had a belief in his heart, which is what supports him. Even if he suffers the blow of nine foundation building failures, he will not give up.
That's because his grandfather told him that only by becoming a cultivator can he find his parents.
Regarding his parents, Cangtian's heart was blurry, and there was no trace of his parents in his memory. He just hoped that one day he could find his parents and ask them why they abandoned him.
Just such a belief has always supported his young mind, which was constantly being hit.
…
In the royal palace, in the secret chamber of the patriarch.
"How is it? Is the child okay?" the patriarch Wang Tiexiong asked softly. In front of him, a guard in black knelt on one knee.
"Report to the clan leader that Master Cangtian has failed to build the foundation. This is already the ninth time." The deep voice of the man in black sounded.
Although he had expected it, Wang Tiexiong couldn't help but sigh when he actually learned the result of the failure of Cangtian Foundation Building, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life filled with disappointment.
"Go down." Wang Tiexiong closed his eyes and looked much older.
"Yes!" The man in black responded when he heard the words. He stopped halfway and turned around and said softly: "Clan leader, there are still three months until Master Cangtian's eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. According to the rules of the Wang family, after reaching adulthood,
Disciples who cannot build the foundation will be released..."
"Get out!" Wang Tiexiong opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with light, and stared at the man in black. Suddenly, a huge coercion enveloped the entire secret room.
"Yes!" The man in black trembled, bowed his head and left quickly.
"well……"
Watching the back of the man in black gradually disappear, Wang Tiexiong sighed deeply. As the patriarch, he naturally knew the rules of the family. This was also something he had been worried about.
However, even though he is the patriarch, he cannot ignore the family's rules.
