Chapter 1: Ten Years Later
!"Yang Ditian hesitated for a moment, then said:But...what if he refuses What if he doesn't want to come"Does he have the guts to do it"Wang Yuexuan let out a cold laugh.Yang Dingtian and Yuan Tiangan...In the remote mountains of Southeast Daxia,
There was an old, dilapidated Taoist temple.
A white-haired elder sat cross-legged in front of the Taoist temple.
Opposite the elder stood a young man in black, his face haggard and his eyes filled with melancholy.
"Lin Feng, ten years have passed, you can come down the mountain."
The old man 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 let out a cold snort upon hearing this, without replying.
"Lin Feng, do you hate me"
The old man suddenly asked.
"I hated it before!"
And now
"It doesn't matter anymore, ten years have passed. Talking about this is pointless now."
"Yes, it's pointless! How many decades are there in a lifetime..."
"Time is a knife, slashing even the most gifted prodigies. Even I, as strong as I am, still cannot cross that distant shore."
The old man sighed.
He struggled to lift his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and dusk has fallen.
The sunset blends with the clouds, casting a warm glow over the vast forest, reflecting a beautiful brilliance.
The setting sun is beautiful, but it’s almost evening.
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 realm is like"
Lin Feng, I want to eat dumplings.
"Lin Feng..."
The scene gradually fell silent.
"Waaaa~"
A gentle breeze blew in, bringing a hint of coolness.
For quite a while.
Lin Feng sensed something was amiss and looked up at the old man.
However, he discovered that at some point the old man had closed his eyes and there was no longer any breath.
Seeing this,
Lin Feng suddenly grabbed the elderly corpse and lifted it up, coldly saying:
"Aren't you just trying to trick me into coming down the mountain, then find an excuse to beat me up Why go to such absurd lengths as pretending to be dead"
Possible...
No matter how Lin Feng speaks,
The old man no longer reacted at all.
His face was gradually turning purple, and his body temperature was slowly dropping.
His emaciated body weighed less than ten pounds, and there was no trace of the immortal elegance he once possessed.
…..
Memories gradually surfaced in my mind.
Ten years ago.
Lin Feng is only 22 years old and has 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 who might become an immortal in the age of decline.
Despite his objections, she forcibly took him to this remote mountain.
This is ten years!
Over ten years,
The elder subjected him to the harshest training imaginable in this world.
Before dawn each day, one must get up to cultivate.
Practice martial arts at 7 PM.
Train legs at 10 o'clock.
Sword practice at twelve o'clock.
Practice eye techniques at 2 p.m.,
Ten o'clock, refining the array formation.
Twenty Points Alchemy.
After midnight, he began to breathe in and out.
Every day's break time, less than three hours!
Over the past decade, he has wanted to run away countless times, wanting to escape this place, wanting to go home.
He would be caught and beaten by the old man every time!
At the worst, I almost lost half my life.
Although cultivating immortality is a great opportunity, Lin Feng doesn't care at all.
His girlfriend is still waiting for him to come and propose, his elderly father, mother, 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 pleaded, the old man remained unmoved.
He had politely requested to send a message home, even kneeling down and pleading, but the old man refused.
But instead, he beat him up and then said coldly:
"Cultivating the Way is going against heaven, one must sever worldly ties and karmic debts!"
"Lin Feng, unless I die, you'll never be able to leave the mountain!"
……
From that moment on,
Lin Feng absolutely loathed the old man before him!
He diligently cultivates every day, hoping to achieve his goal soon and surpass the elder, dismembering him into ten thousand pieces to alleviate the hatred in his heart.
That's it.
Ten years have passed!
He had spent ten years in ascetic practice, but instead of waiting for the day when he would surpass the elder, he was met with such a scene.
At this moment,
Lin Feng's heart was empty.
It wasn't as joyful as I imagined, nor as angry. There was only a calm stillness.
Or, perhaps numb would be more fitting.
I just feel that the persistence of these ten years seems so ridiculous.
The evening wind blew harder.
The temperature in the mountains seemed to plummet to freezing all of a sudden.
Lin Feng remained silent and quietly buried the old man.
Then he stood up and turned around, his two melancholy eyes gazing at the verdant mountains in the distance.
No one could understand what he was feeling at this moment.
That's all.
For a long time, for a long time...
"I didn't expect you to be truly 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 unsheathed his long sword and, with a flash of light, vanished into the horizon.
If a cultivator were here at this moment, they would surely be astonished beyond measure.
It's hard to imagine that in this degenerate era, there are people who can fly with swords!
……
Half an hour later, Lin Feng returned to the hometown of his memory.
His hometown is located in the suburbs of Jinling City, Jiangsu Province.
And the home I never forget is only a simple and unpretentious little flat.
There is a small pond in front of the bungalow.
Besides the pond is a vegetable garden enclosed by a fence.
Besides various verdant vegetables, the garden also boasts some crooked and slender apricot trees.
"It's all the same... nothing has changed!"
Looking at the familiar scene before him, Lin Feng's deep eyes finally moistened.
After ten years, I return to my hometown.
Even in his current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, wanting to shed tears.
Amongst the mountains, how many days and nights had he dreamt of such a scene...
I dreamt of swimming in a pond as a child,
I dreamed that my father and mother were sitting on the bluestone in front of the door, smiling happily as they watched me and my sister holding a bamboo pole, tapping on apricots to eat.
Dreamt 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"
"As for my younger sister, she was only nine when I left. I have no idea if she's gone to college yet!"
"The old man said that cultivating the Tao is a long road to immortality. If you sever all ties with the mundane world, it's possible to achieve longevity. But if you sever ties with your closest loved ones, what then is the purpose of cultivation"
Even if one ascends to immortality, transforms into a celestial being, and lives forever, what meaning would it have without them
Lin Feng let out a long, turbid breath, steadying 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.
Everything will be fine!
Lin Feng was preparing to go back home, to welcome the warmth of family reunion.
As a result, he just took his first step.
The door of the bungalow was flung open from the inside.
Then.
Two burly men with dragon tattoos on their heads were walking out, grinning, with a frail girl bound between them.
The girl was about nineteen years old. She wore a floral dress that reached her ankles, with long, black hair and skin as smooth as snow. She was over five feet tall.
Although her mouth was stuffed with a white cloth, causing her to sob silently, she couldn't hide her delicate features.
Her brows are like willow leaves, and her eyes are like autumn water.
Soft and gentle, pure and delicate.
Though she is barefaced, every inch of her is perfect, as if she walked out of a painting.
Such a girl, yet she is constantly weeping at this moment. Her fair and tender face is filled with fear and helplessness.
This sudden curtain,
Let Lin Feng be stunned.
Ten years ago, although my little sister was only nine years old, she still recognized that this girl was her own sister, Lin Yunyao!
He couldn't have imagined that ten years later, that little kid would grow up to be so beautiful!
I didn't expect that when I came back, I would encounter someone kidnapping my sister
Meanwhile.
The two bald men across from him were also stunned.
It's dark now!
How come there are still people coming to this area that has already been demolished
Look at this kid with his long hair and clothes that are from ten years ago, washed almost white. He looks like a total pauper!
Could it be that the nearby scavengers are hard to understand
Damn it!
No, it came to poop here, right
......
Some people die, but they don't die completely…
After an endless coma, Shiyu suddenly sat up from the bed. To view the latest chapter content, please download it. Read the latest chapter content for free without ads.

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.
Confusion and bewilderment, a myriad of emotions surged within me.
What is this
Then, Shiyu unconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single room dorm
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the hospital right now.
And...there's still my own body...How could there be no wounds at all
With a puzzled expression, Shiyu's gaze quickly swept across the room before finally settling on the mirror on his bedside table.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen years old. He was very handsome.

The previous me was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing. I had been working for some time then.
And now, this appearance looks like just a high school student's age....
This change left Shiyu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him the surgery was a success...
Both his body and appearance have changed drastically. This isn't simply a matter of surgery or not; it's something supernatural, like sorcery.
He became a completely different person!
Could it be... that I've traveled through time
Besides the mirror in a clearly unfavorable feng shui position at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also found three books beside it.
Shi Yu picked it up and looked. The title of the book instantly made him silent.

Shiyu:
The first two book titles are still normal, but what's with the last one
"Cough."
Shi Yu's eyes were solemn, he stretched out his hand, but soon his arm stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly throbbed with pain, and a flood of memories surged forth.
