The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 1 Birth
Beidou Ancient Star, Zhongzhou, the Li Family
This is a sacred pure land with green mountains, towering ancient trees, and fairy air lingering around, as if every wisp of wind contains endless mysteries.

On top of this vast sacred mountain, majestic buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, like stars adorning the night sky, emitting a faint fluorescence, which is awe-inspiring.

Waterfalls rush down from the top of the distant sacred mountain like the Milky Way pouring down. The rumbling sound of water is deafening, splashing into the lake below, creating waves.

The mist rises up and lingers around, making the forest even more fairy-like and mysterious.

In the mountains and forests, the grass and trees are lush and green, and the old vines are winding and circling like dragons. The birds are flapping their wings and flying high, like lightning streaking across the sky, leaving behind beautiful trails.

In this vibrant forest, there are countless rare birds and animals, some of which are lively and cute, some are extremely powerful, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this pure land.

There are also several beasts that look like unicorns, but they only have one crystal clear jade horn, which sparkles with colorful light, and looks extraordinary and amazing.
The earth seems to be endowed with spirituality. Countless precious herbs are nurtured and grown on this land. They are either in bud or in full bloom, emitting bursts of fragrance that are refreshing and pleasant.

Fairy springs are everywhere, shining brightly, with countless divine lights, resplendent and gorgeous, as if every drop of spring water contains endless spiritual power and vitality.

This is the ancestral land of the Li family, a noble family in Zhongzhou. The sacred land stretches for thousands of miles, majestic and beautiful, like a moving painting that makes people linger.

Deep in this tribal land, there is a quiet and elegant attic. It stands quietly in a sea of flowers, as if isolated from the world and untainted by dust.

At this moment, outside the attic, a tall, heroic young man was pacing anxiously in the courtyard. He looked into the attic from time to time, his face full of expectation and anxiety.
"Why hasn't the baby been born yet?" Li Yichen muttered to himself. His hands were clenched into fists and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Shake, shake, shake! What are you shaking for? Get out of my way!" Suddenly, accompanied by an impatient voice, a giant transparent palm fell from the sky and slapped Li Yichen away like a fly.

He was caught off guard and bumped into a transparent barrier, falling to the ground with a thud.

Although he was slapped away, Li Yichen did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had met a savior. He stood up and ran to the old man: "Dad, Qingwan and mother have been in there for so long, why haven't they come out yet?"

The old man rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Giving birth is not like laying eggs, how can it be that fast? And don't hang around in front of me, or I'll beat you to death!"

It kept swaying in front of him, making him dizzy.

Li Yichen was startled when he heard this. He dared not act rashly and could only wait anxiously.

At this moment, "Wawu..." a baby's cry suddenly sounded, clear and loud.

Upon hearing this, Li Yichen's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile, and he danced with excitement: "It's born! My child is finally born!"

Without thinking, Li Yichen walked towards the attic, eager to rush in.

"What do you want to do? Get back here!" The old man's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

He looked into the attic from time to time, his eyes full of expectation and kindness, but when his gaze shifted to Li Yichen who was about to break into the attic, his eyes instantly became as cold as a knife.

"You idiot!"

"Qingwan just gave birth to a child. Your mother is taking care of her inside. Why are you barging in now? Are you going to mess with them?" "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you? Why don't you practice cultivation..."

……

The old man kept blabbering on and on, hitting Li Yichen in the face.

Just at this moment, there was a creaking sound, and the door opened. Two beautiful women with skin as white as cream came out holding a baby.

One of them had a slightly pale face, but she had a maternal glow; the other was wearing a noble and elegant palace robe, holding a child, looking at the old man with amusement.

"Alright! Just stop talking about him. When he was born, you weren't much better!"

"How could that be?" The old man blushed and retorted in a low voice: "I was not like him at that time..."

His eyes moved to the tiny baby in the woman's arms, and he quickly changed the subject, "This is my grandson!"

"Come, let me, your grandpa, hold you!" The old man carefully took the baby from the woman's hands.

Although with his level of cultivation, he had already achieved precise control over his strength and it was impossible for him to hurt the child, but at this moment, his body was still a little tense, as if he was holding a child for the first time.

He carefully looked at the baby in his arms, and saw that the baby was delicate and full of spirit, like an uncut jade, emitting a faint light. The old man couldn't help but laugh, his voice full of pride and joy:
"Good! Very good. He is indeed worthy of being my grandson, Li Tianyi. His forehead is full and full. He is obviously a good cultivator. In the future, he will surely defeat many geniuses and spread the reputation of my Li family."

However, the woman in palace dress shook her head slightly after hearing this, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Although this child's aptitude is not weak, and is not inferior to yours in any way, or even better, it is far inferior to those divine bodies and king bodies."

"And I don't know why, in recent years, the divine bodies and king bodies that were hard to appear in hundreds or thousands of years have appeared one after another. Compared with them..." The woman in palace dress did not continue speaking, but just sighed continuously.

With her grandson's aptitude, in the past he would have been able to become the Holy Son of the Li family and compete with the heirs of many holy land families.

But the present is different from the past. The Great Emperor of Chaos has been dead for nearly ten thousand years, the suppression of the Great Dao is about to dissipate, the great era is about to come, and many geniuses will be born in this era to compete for the throne.

Compared with those geniuses who possess divine bodies or royal bodies, her grandson was not only born late, but also had an inferior physique. How could he compete with them?

Thinking of this, she couldn't stop worrying, worried that her grandson would become a stepping stone for this great world and a stepping stone for those geniuses.

Seeing his wife's worries, the old man smiled carefreely, his eyes flashing with determination and confidence: "The divine body and the king body may not be invincible, and my grandson may not be unable to compete with them."

There was a bit of heroism and arrogance in his words: "If he is able to compete with those geniuses, then I will protect him and watch him reach the top. If he does not have this ability, with the strength of me and the Li family, it should not be a problem to ensure his health for the rest of his life."

Having said that, a sharp light flashed in the old man's eyes. His body seemed decayed and old, but at this moment it became upright and imposing, as if it had great power and was ready to pierce through the world.
