During a school reunion, several couples were torn apart.

All along, Yi Tian had always been proud of marrying his beautiful wife, Fan Jinlian. After three years of marriage, the couple had led a relatively stable life.

However, ever since his wife attended a middle school reunion half a month ago, he noticed there was something slightly unusual about her.

Yesterday, he covertly glanced at his wife's phone and was heartbroken to discover she had indeed cheated on him. She was not only being flirty with a middle school classmate but had secretly met up with him three or four times in just half a month.

He remembered that all those times she had left the house under the pretext that her parents were not feeling well, and she was going to visit them.

Yi Tian was aware of this middle school classmate named Tang Shenghu. He was not only tall and handsome but also a successful businessman with a net worth of tens of millions. Indeed, he was far superior to Yi Tian's simple delivery man.

But Tang Shenghu was also married, and both of his parents were local government leaders. How could he do such an immoral thing?

Yet, morality did not seem to restrain this sort of behavior. The supposed moral condemnation was nothing more than the powerless moans of the weak.

Originally, he had planned to confront his wife tonight. But who would have thought that right after dinner, she said she was going to visit her parents and left.

Watching his wife's attractive figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Yi Tian felt a lump in his throat. His heart was in agony, and he decided to follow her, securing evidence of her infidelity first.

After tailing her for a long time, he discovered that Tang Shenghu drove his wife to a secluded wild place in his BMW. Then this pair of dog men and women wanted to......

Seeing this was unbearable for any man. Overwhelmed by humiliation and anger, Yi Tian charged at them, slapped Fan Jinlian, whose blouse was halfway off, and cursed the adulterous pair.

"Splutter."

Suddenly, the big and strong Tang Shenghu struck Yi Tian's face with a heavy punch. Caught off guard and unable to withstand the force of the punch, Yi Tian fell to the ground, his head spinning, unable to get up for a while.

Tang Shenghu seized the opportunity, quickly approached Yi Tian, and stomped on his face. He cussed, "You're an insolent fool. Dare to slap my woman, you're asking for trouble!" Then he stepped forcefully on Yi Tian's face, turning his foot back and forth.

The corners of Yi Tian's mouth quickly bled. He wanted to curse but couldn't make a sound, he could only struggle desperately, trying to break free from the other's control.

But the times he managed to break free, Tang Shenghu greeted him with strong kicks. His body was wounded in various places, even probably broke a rib. He could only hunch his body in self-defense, but still couldn't get up.

At this moment, Fan Jinlian walked over, holding Tang Shenghu's arm, and said coldly to Yi Tian, "Since you've already found out, I'll be straight with you. You can't give me the wealthy life I desire. Luxurious houses, fancy cars, you can't provide; name-brand purses, jewelry, you can't afford. Moreover, I bet these things are probably what you don't dare to dream of in your entire life."

Tang Shenghu then huffed, "Exactly, but I'm different. I can provide Jinlian everything she wants, which a pauper like you can't compare. This is the gap between us, it's like comparing heaven and earth, you'll never catch up in your lifetime."

Fan Jinlian chimed in, "Brother Hu is right. This is the gap, so, Mr. Yi, I advise you not to force it anymore, we can't return to the past anymore. Give up on us. We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce tomorrow."

Tang Shenghu used the tip of his foot to touch Yi Tian's head and said scornfully, "Kid, beautiful women are not for you poor people to have, so wake up. Get the marriage ended for me tomorrow."

Yi Tian felt great humiliation, he couldn't bear it anymore. Angered, he roared, "Shameless! Too overbearing, you little bastard, I'll fight you!"

Then, taking advantage of Tang Shenghu's loosened foot, he suddenly sprang up from the ground, wiped the blood from his face with his left hand, tensed his body, and charged at him.

Unexpectedly, not only did Tang Shenghu stand tall and fierce, he also had some fighting skills. He promptly kicked Yi Tian in the chest, causing him to lose balance, and fell backwards, the back of his head hitting a stone, promptly knocking him unconscious.

Tang Shenghu, still unsatisfied, went up and brutally stepped on him several times, cursing all the while.

Upon seeing that Yi Tian did not respond, Fan Jinlian ran over in fear and asked, "Brother Hu, what's, what's the matter with him? He's not dead, is he?"

Tang Shenghu drew her into his arms and said, "Baby, it's fine. He just passed out and will wake up later on his own. Let's go to the hotel. Seeing him here is just depressing."

Fan Jinlian gave Yi Tian a final cold glance, then snuggled into Tang Shenghu without any hesitation and walked away.

After three years of marriage, Fan Jinlian seemed to have no marital affection for Yi Tian at this moment. It’s uncertain whether she was too heartless or his fate was too pitiful.

Under the night sky, in the wilderness, Yi Tian, face covered in blood, lay motionless, looking like a corpse.

Suddenly, his left hand flickered with a hazy silver glow. The glow came from the silver ring on his finger, which he had picked up from a stream in his old village days ago. Thinking it was made of silver, he wore it as a trinket, little did he expect such a peculiar incident to occur.

What was even more astonishing was that as the silver glow flickered, the ring seemed to be absorbing the blood smeared on his palm. As more blood was consumed, the glow became brighter, eventually enveloping his entire body with a burst of white light which dimmed after flashing for more than ten seconds. Then suddenly, it shrank into a thin stream and drilled into his head.

In a daze, Yi Tian heard a powerful voice resounding, "Those who acquire my cave abode are destined to do so. Continue my teachings and create a new era."

Then, he felt as though a flood of vast information was forcefully pouring into his head, causing a splitting headache. Unable to bear it anymore, he passed out completely.

When he woke up, it was already pre-dawn. Finding himself still lying in the same wild field, he was greatly surprised. Had the resonant voice he heard, the unending pain he felt been illusions, or merely a dream?

Suddenly, a brief stream of information flashed in his mind, indicating everything that had just happened was real. He had stumbled upon a mystical, monumental adventure.

That silver ring, it turned out, was a cultivation weapon of a legendary hermit known as Master Elucidator, which he used in his final cultivation period before his ascension. Left behind intentionally with a portion of his divine consciousness in it, the hermit waited for the destined one to continue his lineage on earth. After countless shifts of the world, it ended up in Yi Tian's possession.

The remaining spirit of Master Elucidator not only healed Yi Tian's injuries, but it also passed on a profound scripture called "Elucidator’s Scripture of Myriad Transformations" that he learned before ascension. With the last energy of the divine consciousness, it purged and refined his body, laying the foundation for Yi Tian to cultivate the Elucidator scripture.
