Chapter 1 Ten Years Later
ok out a small stone.The stone's diameter was about four or five centimeters, but its entire body was a bloody red, like magma, emitting scorching heat.A trace of greed flashed in the bloodthirsty but...In the remote mountains of southeastern Daxi, where few people tread,
There is an old dilapidated Taoist temple.
A white-haired, elderly man sat cross-legged in front of the Taoist temple.
Opposite the elder stood a young man in black, his face gaunt and his eyes filled with melancholy.
"Lin Feng, ten years have passed. You can come down the mountain now."
The elder said.
"Want to hit me again"
Lin Feng responded coldly.
The old man fell silent for a moment, then said, “Actually, I beat you up for your own good!”
Lin Feng chuckled coldly at this, without replying.
"Lin Feng, do you hate me very much"
The elder suddenly asked.
"I used to hate it!"
"What now"
It doesn't matter anymore. Ten years have passed, talking about it is pointless now.
"Yeah, it's meaningless! How many decades are there in a life..."
"Time is like a knife, mercilessly cutting down the gifted. Even someone as strong as I am cannot cross that distant shore."
The old man sighed.
He struggled to lift his head and gazed at the distant sky.
As the sun sets in the west, casting a golden glow over the horizon.
The setting sun blends with the clouds, painting the vast mountains and forests with a beautiful glow.
"The setting sun is beautiful, but it's nearing dusk."
The old man sighed and continued,
"Lin Feng, can you call me Master"
Lin Feng lowered his head, a smirk still playing on his lips.
"Lin Feng, what do you think the fairy world is like"
"Lin Feng, I want to eat dumplings."
"Lin Feng..."
The scene gradually fell silent.
"Woooooo~"
A gentle breeze blew in, bringing a touch of coolness.
For a long while.
Lin Feng sensed something was amiss and looked up at the elder.
But it was discovered that at some point, the elder had closed his eyes and there was no sign of life.
Seeing this,
Lin Feng suddenly grabbed the elder's corpse and lifted it up, his voice cold:
"Aren't you just trying to trick me into coming down the mountain and then find an excuse to beat me up Why go to such extreme lengths as faking your own death"
...
No matter what Lin Feng said,
The old man had no more reaction,
His face was gradually turning purple, and his body temperature was gradually cooling down.
His emaciated body weighed less than ten pounds, devoid of the celestial grace and refinement he once possessed.
…..
Memories gradually surfaced in my mind.
Ten years ago.
Lin Feng is only 22 years old and just graduated from university.
To fulfill his promise to his girlfriend, he drove alone to her house, intending to confront her parents.
I didn't expect to meet this mysterious old man on the way.
The elder said he was a naturally gifted spirit, capable of becoming an immortal during the last days.
Afterward, disregarding his objections, he forcibly took him to this remote and seldom-visited mountain.
This has been ten years!
Over ten years,
The old man subjected him to the harshest training imaginable in this world.
Every day before dawn, one must rise to cultivate.
Train boxing at seven o'clock.
10 pm leg workout,
Practice swordplay at twelve o'clock.
Practice eye exercises at 2 p.m.,
Ten o'clock, refining the array formation.
Twenty Points Alchemy.
After midnight, I started to breathe in and out.
Less than three hours of rest time every day!
Over the past ten years, he has wanted to run away countless times, wanting to leave this place, wanting to go home.
He will be easily caught by the old man every time and beaten!
At its worst, it even nearly cost me my life.
Although cultivating immortals was a great opportunity, Lin Feng didn't care about it at all.
His girlfriend is still waiting for him to come and propose. His elderly parents and young sister are all waiting for him to make money to support the family.
How could he be staying here
No matter how he begged, the old man remained unmoved.
He had even politely asked to send a message home and even knelt down begging, but the old man still refused.
But instead, he beat him up mercilessly and then said coldly:
"Cultivation goes against the heavens and one must sever all karmic ties to the mortal world!"
"Lin Feng, unless I die, you will never be able to leave the mountain!"
……
From that moment on,
Lin Feng hated the old man in front of him to his bones!
He practices diligently every day, hoping to advance his cultivation as soon as possible, surpass the elder, and dismember him into ten thousand pieces to avenge his heart's hatred.
That's it.
Ten years have passed!
He had spent ten years in ascetic practice, but instead of waiting for the day when he surpassed the old man, he was met with this curtain call.
At this moment,
Lin Feng's heart was hollow.
It wasn't as happy as I imagined, nor as angry. There was only a calm, undisturbed peace.
Or, perhaps numb would be more fitting.
I just feel that the persistence of the past ten years seems so ridiculous.
The late wind blew harder.
The temperature in the mountains suddenly dropped to below freezing.
Lin Feng remained silent, quietly burying the old man.
Then he stood up, turning around. His two melancholy eyes gazed at the verdant mountains in the distance.
No one could understand what he was feeling at this moment.
That's it.
After a long time, after a long time...
"I didn't expect you to actually be dead this time!"
"Your body will slowly dissipate, transforming into eternity. Like grains of sand in the desert, in a sense, this could also be considered a form of immortality."
"Farewell, never to meet again!"
Lin Feng still couldn't bring himself to say "Master."
He drew his longsword directly, transforming into a ray of light and disappearing into the horizon.
If a cultivator were here right now, they would be absolutely astonished.
It's hard to imagine, in this age of decline, that someone could actually fly with a sword!
……
Half an hour later, Lin Feng returned to his hometown of memory.
His hometown is located in the suburbs of Jinling City, Jiangsu Province.
And the home that I always cherish is just a plain and simple little bungalow.
In front of the flat house is a small pond.
Beside the pond is a fenced-in vegetable garden.
Apart from various verdant vegetables, the vegetable garden also had several crooked and narrow apricot trees.
"It's all the same as it always was!"
Looking at this familiar scene before him, Lin Feng's deep eyes finally moistened.
After ten years, I returned to my homeland.
Even with his current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and a desire to cry.
In the mountains, how many days and nights did he dream of this scene...
I dreamt of swimming in a pond as a child,
I dreamed that my father and mother were sitting on the bluestones in front of the door, smiling happily as my sister and I ate apricots with a bamboo pole.
Dreamed of fireworks in the human world,
Dreaming of green onions...people are still the same.
"For the past decade, I've vanished without a trace. My parents probably think I'm dead by now"
"And my younger sister, she was only nine when I left. Now I don't even know if she went to college!"
The old man said, "Cultivation is a path to immortality. When you cut off ties with the red dust and karmic relations, but if you sever ties with your closest loved ones, what then is the purpose of cultivation"
Even if one transcends tribulation, ascends to immortality, and achieves eternal life, what's the point without them
Lin Feng let out a long, turbid breath and calmed his agitated mind.
Hasn't he been waiting for this moment all these years
Ten years is neither long nor short.
May it be so.
It's all right on time!
Lin Feng was preparing to return home to embrace the warmth of family reunion.
As a result, he just took his first step.
The door of the bungalow was beaten open from inside.
Next.
Two burly men with dragon tattoos on their heads walked out of the room, a girl looking pitifully helpless between them, grinning.
The girl was about nineteen years old, wearing a floral dress that reached her ankles. Her black hair fell to her waist, her skin was as smooth as snow, and she was nearly seven feet tall.
Although her mouth was stuffed with a white cloth, she sobbed and couldn't speak. However, it couldn't hide her delicate features.
Eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like autumn water.
Graceful and gentle, pure and delicate.
Although she is bare-faced, every inch of her is perfectly in place, as if she stepped out of a painting.
Such a girl, yet now she couldn't stop her tears. Her pretty porcelain face was filled with fear and helplessness.
This sudden curtain,
Let Lin Feng be stunned.
Ten years ago, even though my little sister was only nine years old, she still recognized that the girl was her own sister, Lin Yunyao!
He didn't expect that after ten years, the little kid back then had grown so beautiful!
I never expected that when I came back, I would encounter someone kidnapping my sister
Meanwhile.
The two bald men opposite were also dumbfounded.
It's pitch black!
How come there are still people coming to this already demolished resettlement area
Look at this guy with his long hair and clothes from ten years ago, faded from so many washes. He's obviously broke!
Is it hard to understand the scavengers nearby
Damn it!
No, he came to poop here, right
......
Some people died, but they didn't die completely...
After an endless sleep, Shiyu suddenly sat up from the bed. To view the latest chapter content, please download, ad-free and free to read the latest chapter content. The website no longer updates the latest chapter content, and the Ai Yue Novel APP has already updated the latest chapter content.
He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.
Confusion and bewilderment, along with a surge of various emotions, overwhelmed my heart.
What is this
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single room
Even if he successfully received rescue, he should be in the hospital now.
"...and his own body... how could there be no injuries at all"
With a hint of suspicion, Shiyu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally settling on the mirror on the bedside table.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, he was about seventeen years old, and very handsome.
But the problem is, this isn't him! Download and read the latest chapter content ad-free.
The person I was before
was an extraordinary and handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
...and now, looking at her appearance, she seems to be just a high school student....
This change left Shiyu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him the surgery was a success...
His body and appearance have completely changed. This isn't just a matter of surgery or not, it's something supernatural.
He had completely become another person!
Could it be... that I've traveled through time
Apart from the mirror with an obviously bad feng shui placement at the head of the bed, Shiyu also found three books beside it.
Shiyu picked up the book, and the title instantly made him silent.
A Beginner's Guide to Raising Pets
Guide to Reviewing Different Races of Beast-Ear Girls
Shi Yu:
The first two book titles are normal, but what about the last one
"Cough."
Shi Yu's gaze was serious, he reached out his hand, but quickly his arm stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly throbbed, and a flood of memories surged into him.
