#1 - Chapter 001: Exiled to the Royal Family’s Ancestral Land to Reflect on Their Misdeeds

"Jiang Ning, as the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, you not only defiled the purity of the Holy Maiden of the Tai Xuan Holy Land's younger sister but were also bewitched by the Moon Demon of the Demonic Sect, allowing her to escape. What is your crime?"

"Our Great Xia Imperial Family, inheriting the bloodline of the ancient Great Emperor, is incomparably noble, yet we produced a孽子 like you. It is the Imperial Family's misfortune."

"Pass down my decree to strip Jiang Ning of his position as Crown Prince and imprison him in the Imperial Family's ancestral land to reflect on his mistakes, never to leave for the rest of his life."

"Your Majesty, this concubine believes it is inappropriate. The ancestral land contains countless supreme cultivation methods and divine abilities left behind by generations of Imperial Family ancestors."

"Then remove his roots, so he can never cultivate for eternity."

"Furthermore, with his talent, it is impossible for him to comprehend the supreme secrets within the Shanglin. For thousands of years, no one in the Imperial Family has been able to comprehend them."

"That would be for the best. We must ensure that this little beast can never rise again."

……

"Former Crown Prince, this old servant is sent by His Majesty to supervise your reflection. Now, I will escort you to the ancestral land."

"I hope you reflect well in the ancestral land and do not disappoint His Majesty's good intentions."

An old eunuch with white hair walked over and said indifferently.

Jiang Ning smiled wryly. A perfect start had turned into a hellish one.

"Originally, transmigrating into the Crown Prince of a nation was an incredibly noble position, but I was schemed against, stripped of my title, had my roots severed, and became a cripple."

That's right, Jiang Ning was a transmigrator.

While playing a role-playing game and using a cheat he had programmed himself, an accident occurred, and he fainted and died.

When he woke up, he had become Jiang Ning, the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty in another world.

Jiang Ning was the only son of the former Great Xia Emperor.

Three years ago, the former Great Xia Emperor, Jiang Tianmang, was assassinated by demonic assassins while on a tour.

His elder brother, Jiang Tiantai, ascended the throne and became emperor, while Jiang Ning, being young, remained the Crown Prince.

The Great Xia Dynasty was a kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

The Holy Maiden Wang Youning's younger sister, Wang Lingyan, came to the imperial city as a guest.

Wang Youning was a famous heavenly genius in the Xuanhuang world, with astonishing talent and unparalleled beauty.

She was the goddess in the hearts of all the young men in the Xuanhuang world.

As her younger sister, Wang Lingyan, although far less stunning than her sister, also held a lofty position.

She summoned the original owner, Jiang Ning, late at night, tempting him and expressing her affection.

The original owner was overjoyed, thinking his romantic luck had arrived.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched Wang Lingyan's body, she screamed for help.

As a result, he was severely injured on the spot by the rushing imperial guards and thrown into the heavenly prison.

In the heavenly prison, the original owner's injuries flared up, and he died, allowing Jiang Ning to be reborn by possessing his body.

As for releasing the demonic woman of the Demonic Sect, it was completely a frame-up.

The day before, Jiang Ning received an imperial decree stating that Great Xia and the Demonic Sect had reached some kind of agreement to release the Moon Demon imprisoned in the heavenly prison.

The Demonic Sect was the mortal enemy of the cultivation world, so they naturally could not release her openly, or it would provoke public anger.

Jiang Ning, as the Crown Prince, represented Great Xia in secretly releasing her.

In the end, Jiang Ning was falsely accused of being tempted by the Moon Demon and releasing her.

Without much thought, it was clear that this was the conspiracy of the current Great Xia Emperor, Jiang Tiantai.

The purpose was to depose Jiang Ning as Crown Prince and establish his son, Jiang Beiten, as the Crown Prince.

"According to that Great Xia Emperor's ruthlessness, he shouldn't have spared my life."

Jiang Ning felt somewhat puzzled.

Why didn't he kill him but instead exiled him to the ancestral land to reflect?

"The Empress Dowager summons you."

Just then, a delicate-looking palace maid came forward.

Soon, Jiang Ning was brought to a magnificent palace.

Before his eyes was a graceful, dignified, and beautiful woman in her thirties.

It was the Great Xia Empress Dowager, Li Muqing, Jiang Ning's birth mother.

"Let Mother take a look. My child has suffered these past few days."

Li Muqing looked at Jiang Ning with affection, her eyes slightly red.

Her own child had been deposed, how could a mother not feel heartache?

"Mother, being able to survive is a blessing. Suffering those hardships is nothing," Jiang Ning said with a bitter smile.

He also felt somewhat awkward, after all, he was no longer the real Jiang Ning.

"Hmph." Suddenly, Li Muqing's face turned cold. "Do you think Jiang Tiantai is so kind as to spare your life?"

"It was Mother who handed over all the Empress Dowager's power to save your life."

"Remember, in this world, only Mother truly loves you and is worthy of complete trust. Do not trust anyone else in the future."

Li Muqing's face revealed exhaustion as she earnestly instructed him.

She had obviously put in a lot of effort for Jiang Ning's matter these past few days.

"Mother has worked hard. Your child will keep it in mind," Jiang Ning solemnly replied.

If the original owner hadn't trusted his uncle, Jiang Tiantai, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

The Wang Lingyan matter was merely using the power of the Tai Xuan Holy Land to put pressure on Li Muqing, the Empress Dowager, and the courtiers who supported Jiang Ning.

The biggest crime was still releasing the Moon Demon.

Rumor has it that this demonic woman holds an extraordinary position in the Demonic Sect.

Soon after, the mother and son chatted for a while.

Li Muqing revealed deep concern, which made Jiang Ning, who had been an orphan since childhood, feel very warm.

The feeling of maternal love was truly wonderful.

"Alright, Mother should leave now. After arriving at the ancestral land, try to preserve your life as much as possible and wait for Mother to come and save you."

"You are my only son. I cannot give up on you."

"This time, I will be entering a place with nine deaths and one life."

"Only by breaking through to the Saint Realm will Mother be able to save you and restore your severed roots."

Li Muqing's eyes shone with determination.

"Mother, you don't have to risk yourself for me. I'm already happy enough to be alive…"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but advise.

Although he had only met Li Muqing for the first time, he was completely moved by her maternal love.

He didn't want her to risk herself for him.

Anyway, he was already considered dead, so living a little longer was worthwhile.

Li Muqing gently stroked Jiang Ning's cheek, revealing a loving smile.

"To save my son, Mother will do it, no matter the cost."

"You are my son, my only hope in this world. I cannot not save you."

Then, Li Muqing instructed, "Xiao Li, come in."

"Empress Dowager, what are your orders?"

The delicate-looking palace maid from before walked in.

She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. At such a young age, she already possessed a captivating beauty.

"Ning'er, Xiao Li was raised by Mother since she was a child and is completely trustworthy. From now on, let her stay by your side to take care of you, or Mother will not be at ease."

Li Muqing was afraid that her son would suffer, so she sent Xiao Li to take care of him.

She knew the harsh conditions of the ancestral land.

Xiao Li quickly knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager, please rest assured. Xiao Li will definitely take good care of the Crown Prince. As long as Xiao Li has a breath left, she will not let anything happen to him."

"Ning'er, wait for Mother to come back and save you."

Li Muqing took a deep look at her son, her face full of reluctance.

Then, she soared into the sky and resolutely left.

"Mother, please take care. You must come back alive," Jiang Ning could only silently wish.

He didn't want this woman to get into trouble, or he would feel bad.

She had made him feel the deep maternal love that he had never felt in his life.

……

Not long after.

A carriage took Jiang Ning to the Imperial Family's ancestral land.

Passing through the city gate, it drew countless angry curses from the people.

Releasing the demonic woman of the Demonic Sect was something that aroused public anger.

The Demonic Sect was cruel, poisoning living beings and using human blood as a guide to cultivate demonic arts. Everyone had the right to punish them.

"My good brother, you can reflect well after you arrive at the ancestral land."

"When your brother has time, I will find someone to go to the ancestral land to take good care of you."

On the city tower, watching the carriage sending Jiang Ning leave the imperial city, Jiang Beiten smiled coldly.

Soon after, he would be made the Crown Prince of Great Xia.

As the strongest genius of the Great Xia Imperial Family in five hundred years.

He was very jealous of Jiang Ning, his younger brother, for occupying the position of Crown Prince that should have belonged to him.

Now that his wish had come true, he was very pleased and happy.

That Wang Lingyan was someone he had arranged to frame Jiang Ning for molesting her.
