Multiverse Shenanigans: Raja's Journey

The aftermath of helping Xiao Che left Raja with a boiling anger that demanded release. With a single thought, he propelled himself into the sky, employing his Sky Walk technique. The air rippled in his wake as he streaked toward the Xiao Manor. Approaching his target, he abruptly descended, unleashing a powerful Super Landing. The impact shook the entire Xiao Manor, cracking walls and sending ripples of fear through its inhabitants.

Raja's voice thundered across the grounds as he released his Supreme King's Haki, his presence dominating the air. "Xiao Yunhai, come out, you pathetic piece of shit!"

A tense silence ensued before the gates of the Xiao Manor opened. Xiao Yunhai emerged, flanked by his elders, each bearing expressions of anger and confusion. "Who dares cause trouble in the Xiao Manor?!"

Raja smirked, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "It is I, your long-lost grandfather, Xia Shén Wáng. I've come to destroy you and your pathetic clan for daring to hurt my family."

Xiao Yunhai's face twisted in disbelief, his gaze scrutinizing Raja's aura. Surprise and shock warred on his features as he recognized the cultivation radiating from Raja. "The Xia family's waste dares to show himself? So, you've been hiding your cultivation all these years. But with mere Spirit Profound Realm strength, you dare challenge the Xiao Manor? Foolish mistake."

Turning to his subordinates, Xiao Yunhai sneered. "Elders, kill this brat! I'll gift his head to young master Xiao Kuangyun."

As the elders readied themselves, charging their profound energy, Raja casually released his Supreme King's Haki again. The air grew heavy, and within moments, the goons fell unconscious. Even the Sky Profound Realm elders collapsed to their knees, trembling as if death itself loomed before them. Their breaths came in shallow gasps, and their bodies turned cold as ice.

"Xiao Yunhai, why are you shaking? Get up and face this 'mere Spirit Profound Realm' junior, you pathetic coward!" Raja spat, closing the distance with inhuman speed. He delivered a precise kick to Xiao Yunhai's face, sending him sprawling. Blood poured from his broken nose, staining his robe.

"For hurting my family, today I'll cripple all your profound veins and turn you into the waste you always claimed I was." Raja's voice was cold and unyielding. Channeling Armament Haki, he used his internal destruction technique, delivering precise Finger Gun strikes to the elders and Xiao Yunhai. Their profound veins shattered under his control, leaving them writhing in agony. Their screams echoed through the manor as Raja turned and walked away, leaving behind the destruction he had wrought.

Back at the Xia Manor, Raja sat cross-legged, meditating to calm the storm of anger still raging within him. Thoughts of Xiao Kuangyun and the Xiao Sect simmered in his mind, but he understood that acting now was unsustainable. Instead, he vowed, "The day I reach the Emperor Profound Realm will be the day the Xiao Sect ceases to exist."

The following morning, Raja made a decision. He informed Elder Lie and Xia Hongyi of his intent to travel to New Moon City, seeking new opportunities and connections. Elder Lie, understanding the importance of Raja's journey, handed him a special token.

Before leaving, Raja called for Xiao Che, who had already advanced to the 2nd Level of the Elementary Profound Realm. Raja praised his progress but secretly activated his system to copy Xiao Che's Profound Handle Skill without him noticing.

Aware of Xiao Che's immense comprehension abilities, Raja decided to create a gift. Drawing from his knowledge of the Great Way of Buddha, he developed a lesser version known as the Ultimate Mortal Body Art. This technique, spanning nine stages, would strengthen the body to contend with peak-realm cultivators even in the early stages of cultivation.

"Xiao Che, take this." Raja handed over a set of scrolls. "This technique will guide your cultivation, and these books on medicine and alchemy will expand your knowledge. Use them well." With that, Raja bid farewell and set off for New Moon City.

Upon arrival in the bustling city, Raja's journey took an unexpected turn when he encountered his younger brother, Xia Yuanba. The boy had grown into a towering, muscular youth, his imposing frame drawing attention.

"Yuanba?" Raja exclaimed, surprised by the transformation. "What happened to you? And when did you reach the 1st Level of the Spirit Profound Realm?"

Yuanba grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "Big Brother! It's good to see you! I've been training at the New Moon Profound Palace in Class One. Father's connections helped me join without taking the entrance test."

"Class One?" Raja's curiosity was piqued. "Who teaches you?"

"The Great Elder, Sikong Han, oversees our class. He was once close friends with Xiao Che's grandfather, Elder Lie. Maybe he can help you too." Yuanba's suggestion lingered in Raja's mind as they made their way to the New Moon Profound Palace.

At the palace gates, a stern gatekeeper stopped them. "No unauthorized entry. State your business."

Without a word, Raja produced the Seven Profound Tablet, the token Elder Lie had entrusted to him. The gatekeeper's expression shifted to one of reverence as he stepped aside. "Please, enter. This token grants you unrestricted access."

Even Yuanba was shocked. "Big Brother, how do you have such an important token?"

"It's a gift from Elder Lie, passed down from Sikong Han." Raja's reply was simple, but the token's significance was not lost on Yuanba.

As they walked, Raja heard a voice in his mind. "This boy, Xia Yuanba, possesses a rare and powerful profound vein—the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins," Jasmine revealed. "Its potential is unmatched, but in this environment, it's wasted."

Raja filed the information away, determined to help his brother unlock his full potential in due time.

At the Elder's Hall, Raja and Yuanba were greeted by Sikong Han. The elder's eyes widened as he recognized the Seven Profound Tablet. "This… this token brings back memories. Who are you, boy, and why do you carry it?"

"Elder Lie sends his regards, Great Elder. He entrusted me with this token and spoke of your bond."

Sikong Han's expression softened, and a hint of emotion glimmered in his eyes. "Xiao Lie… it's been years since I've seen him. How is he?"

"He remains strong, though he misses his old friend." Raja's words struck a chord with the elder, who sighed deeply.

"I regret not visiting him all these years. He was a true friend in my youth. Tell him I hope to repay the kindness he showed me someday."

The sincerity in Sikong Han's voice revealed a deep bond with Elder Lie, one that transcended time.
