Who is Fu Mo Xin’er? She is a woman of such beauty that even those considered attractive pale in comparison.
She is a fairy-like beauty of unparalleled charm.
Upon seeing Fu Mo Xin’er, Zuoqiu Tiansheng’s eyes widened, instantly smitten, and he professed his love for her.
But Fu Mo Xin’er, having been separated from Chu Feng and Fu Mo Shaoyu, was in no mood to entertain him.
When his soft approach failed, Zuoqiu Tiansheng resorted to force.
Thus, Fu Mo Xin’er and Zuoqiu Tiansheng clashed fiercely in the city.
Though Fu Mo Xin’er was a prodigy, undeniably talented, she was only a First Rank Supreme. Facing Zuoqiu Tiansheng, a Second Rank Supreme, she was clearly outmatched.
As a result, she was forcibly taken by him.
“Those damned Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan, what scum they produce!” Fu Mo Shaoyu seethed upon learning the truth, grinding his teeth. “The elders steal our cultivation treasures, and the young ones are worse, daring to kidnap my sister. I’ll wipe them out!”
“Brother Shaoyu, the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan came prepared, with many experts in their ranks,” Chu Feng said. “We can’t confront them head-on; we must use strategy. Fortunately, the tracking talisman can still locate Xin’er, and my array techniques should prove useful. Let’s rescue your sister first.”
“Right, we must save her. I won’t let her marry that wretch!” Fu Mo Shaoyu agreed.
With their plan set, Chu Feng and Fu Mo Shaoyu set off to track Fu Mo Xin’er.

In the central region of Heavenly Thunder Upper Realm, within the Swallowing Heaven Starfield, stood an ancient array.
This array lacked any trace of barrier power, formed instead by countless cylindrical stones stacked together.
These stones, far from ordinary, were exceptionally durable, rare treasures.
Yet now, they were riddled with cracks, their dilapidated state suggesting they could collapse at any moment.
Despite this, the stones bore intricate talisman runes.
If Chu Feng saw these runes, he would marvel at the skill of their creator.
This was the renowned Heavenly Thunder Ancient Array.
The array’s ability to aid Heavenly Bloodline holders in breaking through was no myth.
Since ancient times, a few had successfully used its power to shatter cultivation barriers.
However, harnessing the array’s power was no simple task.
It required immense wealth to activate, demanding valuable heavenly treasures.
Thus, while many aspired to use the Heavenly Thunder Ancient Array, few could afford it.
Moreover, the array had usage limits.
The cracks on the stones were proof; it could likely withstand only one or two more uses before reaching its limit.
Once that happened, the array would collapse entirely, vanishing from the world.
But the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan cared little about its fate.
Their concern was whether Zuoqiu Tiansheng could achieve a breakthrough.
They believed he was stalled by the legendary Divine Thunder Tribulation.
The clan had only heard of this tribulation, never witnessed it, but they knew its benefits.
Encountering it early signified extraordinary talent.
Thus, the clan spared no expense, acquiring vast amounts of heavenly treasures to activate the array.
Their goal was to nurture Zuoqiu Tiansheng, to let him lead the clan to unprecedented glory.
Countless Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan experts had come to Heavenly Thunder Upper Realm, including the clan leader himself.
They had set up camp around the array, building grand palaces to encircle it.
Atop the main palace, the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan leader stood, overlooking the array’s entirety.
Beside him was a young man of striking presence and exceptional appearance: Zuoqiu Daoyi, another genius of the clan.
Zuoqiu Daoyi and Zuoqiu Tiansheng were not only clan members but brothers, born of the same parents, sharing the closest blood ties.
“Daoyi, I’ve gone to great lengths for your brother’s breakthrough. Do you feel any resentment?” the clan leader asked.
“Father, when you presented the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique, I lacked the aptitude to master it, so I practiced the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique instead,” Zuoqiu Daoyi replied. “My brother mastered the Divine Punishment technique, proving his talent surpasses mine. Encountering the Divine Thunder Tribulation at his age further shows his limitless potential. Not only should you, Father, spare no effort to aid him, but I should as well.”
“Daoyi, you’re truly sensible,” the clan leader sighed. “If only your brother were as mature.”
“Tiansheng is dedicated to cultivation,” Zuoqiu Daoyi said with a smile. “As for women, it’s normal for a man to be drawn to them.”
“You’re a man too, yet I don’t see you bringing home a new wife every other day,” the clan leader remarked.
“I aim to support my brother. My talent is lacking, so I must work harder to be of use to him,” Zuoqiu Daoyi said.
The clan leader nodded, pleased.
While he felt Zuoqiu Daoyi was better suited to lead, in the martial world, strength ruled.
Thus, he had long reserved the clan leader position for Zuoqiu Tiansheng.
He had feared rivalry between the brothers, but Daoyi’s maturity eased his concerns.
“Clan Leader!” a figure flew in, landing on the palace. It was Zuoqiu Hanxun, the elder who had stolen the Thunder Pearl from Chu Feng and Fu Mo Shaoyu.
