According to records, the five continents of Tianyuan Continent are isolated by boundary barriers. Outside the barrier, it is called chaos. However, it is rumored that in the chaos, there is a long river of time flowing underneath. It flows around Tianyuan and supports the flow of time.
Exotic treasures are different from magical treasures. They are divided into nine levels. There are tens of thousands of exotic treasures, but each one is unique. Some exotic treasures have trivial effects and are insignificant. There are also exotic treasures that can penetrate the heavens and the earth. Ability is the dream of countless practitioners.
The realms of cultivation are divided into Kaimai, Qi Gathering, Huayuan, Guihai, Xutian, Chengshen, Yueling, Lingyuan and Supreme realms.
There are only nine people in the Supreme Realm recorded in the world.
It is rumored that the Demon Lord of the Void, one of the nine deities, once condensed the rare treasure Rebirth Jade in the way of the Great Demon. Rumors do not know where it came from, saying that this Rebirth Jade can carry the soul of its owner back to the past through the long river of time.
Regarding these rumors, there have been different opinions for hundreds of thousands of years. The vast majority of people did not believe it and scoffed. Some people were doubtful, but almost no one was convinced.
Even if it is a rare treasure that the Supreme Lord has condensed, no one has ever used it. There are no other reasons. First, only the Demon Lord of the Void has owned the Rebirth Jade. It is unique. Only when the Rebirth Jade is confirmed to be truly destroyed can others condense it. , no one knows its authenticity, and no one can give an answer.
Moreover, demonic behavior will produce inner demons, not to mention such a cruel demonic way. Not to mention inner demons, the situation will be the enemy of the whole world.
Even if someone practices against the wishes of the world, they will not risk death.
What if it’s fake? Even if it is rumored that Supreme has owned it, what if it is a scam?
And at this time.
A young man's jade pendant lights up...
"My guest, my guest, you have been sitting here for an hour, and the porridge is getting cold."
"Your guest? Your guest!"
The waiter saw this twelve-year-old boy sitting here since early in the morning, ordering a bowl of porridge, and ended up sitting here in a daze for an hour. At first, he thought he was waiting for someone, but then the porridge became cold and the boy was still in a daze, so he felt something was wrong. , he quickly stepped forward and said, he was just about to get started.
Zhang Chen shook his head and glanced at the waiter, "It doesn't matter, I'm fine. Let's get a bowl of porridge instead."
"Ah?" The waiter looked a little impatient. It was a time when there were a lot of customers. The boy occupied a table and ordered a bowl of porridge. He sat here in a daze. He was about to say something when Zhang Chen casually Putting some broken silver on the table, looking at the waiter with a faint look, he said: "Is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough." The waiter's face suddenly became extremely flattering, he put away the money and went to prepare. Before leaving, he still muttered in a low voice: "This guest officer is really a weirdo!"
Zhang Chen lowered his head and thought, with a calm expression on his face, but there was a burst of uncontrollable ecstasy in his heart, "Rebirth Jade, Rebirth Jade! It is indeed a rare treasure that even the Supreme Being can condense, and it actually took me back three hundred years ago!" "
The rumors were true, because Zhang Chen was really reborn and returned to three hundred years ago.
However, Zhang Chen looked at himself and couldn't help but frown. As he went upstream from the long river of time and relied on the rebirth jade to return to the past, his cultivation had long since dissipated. What made him most helpless was that his soul was lost to the long river of time. Washing away, although there was a rebirth jade protecting the soul, almost half of it was washed away. Over the past three hundred years, the memory was blurred. As the soul was washed away, it became even more fragmented, so that he could not recall what he should do for a while. , The rebirth jade also has cracks on it, as if it will disintegrate at the slightest touch.
However, when Zhang Chen was about to die in his previous life, he relied on the spirit-purifying power of the Annihilation Demonic Art and the Devouring Method he learned by chance to force himself to the early stage of leaping into the spirit. If he corrects his path, he can enter the Zhongzhou Immortal Pavilion and become a After being reborn as an Immortal, Zhang Chen believes that his achievements will only be higher.
However, the most urgent task is to clarify the situation and make plans in order to return to the top.
Thinking of this, my mind felt a little stinging, and sporadic memories came to mind.
"Open the pulse?" Zhang Chen's eyes were dark, remembering that at this moment, he was about to participate in the pulse opening ceremony, and in this pulse opening ceremony, he was about to face the first "setback"!
Before drinking the bowl of porridge, Zhang Chen stood up and walked towards the Immortal Platform in his memory.
I probably asked a few people on the way before I arrived at the Dengxian Terrace. The memory came to mind and gradually became complete.
When he walked to the Immortal Platform, looking at the crowd of onlookers in front of him, Zhang Chen frowned slightly. Just as he was thinking about how to avoid the crowd and go up, he was stopped by a voice. This person was the housekeeper of the Lin family. The housekeeper saw Zhang Chen coming back. , hurriedly stepped forward, "Oh, Master, why are you back just now? The ceremony will start in a quarter of an hour, let's go change quickly."
"No need, just go here." Zhang Chen waved his hand. There was only a quarter of an hour left. He couldn't change into any suitable clothes with his fragmented memory. Moreover, the results of opening the pulse were clear to him, and he would soon need it. From being the center of attention to being insignificant.
"That's... well, young master, come with me first." The housekeeper did not dare to touch this "genius" and hurriedly led Zhang Chen through the special passage to the Immortal Platform.
When he arrived at the Immortal Platform, Zhang Chen's memory about this period of time recovered a lot. He took a look at the situation and saw his sister standing next to Lin Qingfeng, waiting, with a cold look in his eyes.
Zhang Chen was also seen by interested people, and many elders from other clans whispered about Zhang Chen's neglectful behavior.
When Lin Ye saw Zhang Chen walking over slowly, he couldn't help but feel angry and scolded: "Why don't you hurry up and wait! It's really lawless!"
Zhang Chen nodded and bowed according to etiquette, "Yes, uncle."
"Okay, go and wait aside." Lin Ye waved his hand, not intending to continue to entangle with him.
Zhang Chen took a look and found that Lin Qingfeng had reserved a place for him, and he was the leader of the crowd. He smiled dumbly in his heart. This kind of quiet flattery and scheming was rare among his peers, but he didn't care and walked straight over. .
With his good hearing, he could also hear the whispers of some of his peers, many of whom secretly said bad things about Zhang Chen.
"Look, if you pull like this, when you join Lingxiao Sect and become a core disciple, your tail won't be able to reach the sky."
"He has always been the best among us. Comparing with him is just uncomfortable."
"Yes, yes."
Zhang Chen listened with a hint of amusement in the corner of his mouth, looking at the hostility of the people around him towards him, and then looking at Lin Qingfeng, who was equally excellent, but he had a modest and gentle image, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.
In his previous life, he was also confused by Lin Qingfeng's gesture, thinking that he was the same on the outside. However, even in his two lives, he had not yet understood the principle that "a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Coupled with Lin Qingfeng's small tricks from time to time, This created a sharp contrast between him and Lin Qingfeng, so that when he lost power, everyone wanted to step on him.
"Brother, you are finally here." Zhang Yue mustered up the courage to look at Zhang Chen and said.
Zhang Chen glanced at his biological sister, whose eyes were now filled with Lin Qingfeng's. A complicated look flashed across his eyes, but his expression returned to its usual indifference.
Zhang Yue lowered her head. She did not stand beside Zhang Chen, but hid beside Lin Qingfeng like a frightened bird. "Brother, uncle, aunt, and cousin are all worried about you, afraid that you will miss the time."
Zhang Chen looked at him with no emotion at all.
Zhang Yue seems a little accustomed to her brother's indifference. He has been like this for as long as she can remember.
Sometimes, she often comforts herself, thinking that geniuses may be like this, extraordinary. Looking down on ordinary people, although she is Zhang Chen's biological sister, in comparison, she is extremely mediocre. She only has the same characteristics as her brother, good-looking.
She always wonders why, among the children born to her mother, her brother is as bright as the sun in the sky, talented and well-versed in both literature and martial arts, while compared to her brother, she is like a tiny star, out of reach of the bright moon.
People of the same age, when they see her, will say, isn't this Zhang Chen's sister?
My uncle, aunt, and elders in the family also often tell me to learn more from my brother.
Even when she finally heard the name Zhang Chen, she felt rejection and pain in her heart. She knew clearly that the brother and sister supported each other and there should be no comparison, but everyone around them denied their existence.
This idea has been going on for many years, accumulating over time and water, and accompanied by the brother's consistent indifference, it is disintegrating the brother-sister relationship between the two all the time.
Until Lin Qingfeng returned four years ago, he was such a gentle and gentle man, and he never held any prejudice against her. He encouraged her to stay true to herself and believe in her own value. His tenderness was as gentle as moisturizing things, soothing her shadow-covered complexion. Her heart made her sink in unconsciously, craving for this warmth.
Zhang Chen looked at his sister and Lin Qingfeng with faint eyes. The two of them were already inseparable.
"Worried?" Zhang Chen couldn't help but sneered silently in his heart when he thought of his uncle and aunt.
When they were still in their infancy, their parents died. News came from the Lingxiao Sect that they and their sister had become orphans. In the name of raising them, their uncle and aunt took them back from the Lingxiao Sect and misappropriated the few assets they had left. He was treated harshly, even if his sister's fever persisted, but she remained indifferent.
It was a time of life and death at that time. He originally wanted to keep a low profile and show his talents after he had enough understanding of the world. However, his sister was weak and sick. He could not eat one meal after another, so he could only show his extraordinary ability. "Talent".
genius? Ha... That was just the performance of a twenty-year-old mind hidden in a young child. Coupled with the poetry and songs of his original world, he became famous in one fell swoop.
After all this, he was hailed as a rare "genius" and received widespread attention. In order to avoid exposing his secrets, he adhered to the principle of talking less and making fewer mistakes. He was considered ignorant of worldly affairs and gradually became taciturn and introverted. A cold expression disguises and protects oneself.
Over time, the indifferent attitude became the mask of the heart.
Then, Tianbao Pavilion told himself, the eldest son, the secret key to his parents' inheritance. This Tianbao Pavilion's inheritance was also something that his uncle, aunt, and even Lin Qingfeng coveted. This was also an important reason why Lin Qingfeng was willing to come back from Lingxiao Sect.
In order to retain the capital that can be negotiated, he hid the secret key and carefully responded to other people's questioning. He did not even tell his sister, for fear that his innocent sister would be leaked. However, after her sister learned about it, she thought that he had even hidden his biological sister and wanted to monopolize the assets, thus Disengagement and morality.
He had given explanations during this period, but his sister, who had been "educated" by his uncle, aunt, and Lin Qingfeng, only acted well and expressed "understanding" on the surface, and he believed it.
How did she know that the excellent treatment now was not their "love" at all, but just an investment. It was just that she noticed her sister's change of mind too late and was unable to correct it.
She couldn't see the truth. Not only was she deceived by her uncle and aunt, but she also placed her affection above Lin Qingfeng, and she even harbored resentment towards herself. Now he is well-behaved and honest, but after Kaimai and Lin Qingfeng were tested for their immortal bone qualifications, they were vigorously trained by the sect. The hidden resentment, coupled with the instigation of discord by her lover Lin Qingfeng, were released. She could not bully her brother, but she could not avoid being contemptuous. She even unconsciously acquiesced in others' suppression and made things difficult for her brother. The two finally formed a relationship. We are strangers.
As for Zhang Chen's qualifications, in his previous life, he only had spiritual bone qualifications. He had no chance of reaching the realm of his previous life simply by following the right path and practicing immortality.
Destiny is unpredictable, life and death are unpredictable.
Twin brothers and sisters, the elder brother has spiritual bones, but has been known as a genius for twelve years, and the younger sister is unknown, but has the appearance of a fairy.
The results of the pulse opening made it difficult for everyone to believe that the situation of the two brothers and sisters was reversed.
The younger sister has become the glory of the family and the leader of the sect, but the elder brother has fallen into disgrace and is looked down upon by others.
Zhang Chen knew that she had good intentions and even had a chivalrous heart. However, all the conflicts intensified later. In the end, Zhang Chen was framed for murdering a disciple of the sect. She was also "completely disappointed" with her brother and was indifferent to him. After expressing their stance, the relationship between brother and sister has been severed.
Hate her?
Zhang Chen asked himself, he did hate her in his previous life. He hated her for being so heartless, completely forgetting that she was in a difficult situation when she was young. He always looked after her and protected her. He also hated his lack of qualifications, the ruthlessness of his sect and family, and his unfair fate.
Now three hundred years have passed by in a hurry, and when I look at this experience, my heart has become calm.
What is there to hate?
Putting himself in his shoes, he can already understand.
On the road of spiritual cultivation, natural selection and survival of the fittest are the essence of spiritual practice.
People have their own ambitions, fight for their own destiny, suppress and kill each other, what's wrong with that?
He has already seen through all this, and only the way to eternal life is in his heart
If anyone blocks it, it's just a matter of life and death.
This road is doomed to be the enemy of the whole world, this road is doomed to walk alone, and this road is doomed to be full of murders.
This is his realization.
Zhang Chen has no intention of revenge, nor does he have the intention of repairing the relationship between brother and sister. He also has no intention of wanting brothers and sisters to respect each other and be loved by his brothers. Even if Zhang Chen can avoid conflicts in this life and become what everyone likes, the right path is destined to be different from what Zhang Chen does. The road goes in the opposite direction, with no fate and no destiny.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, his eyes were indifferent, he looked at Zhang Yue as if he were a visitor again and said: "Yes, I understand."
Zhang Yue felt uneasy for a while. She felt that something had changed about her brother, but she couldn't tell what he had changed. It was just that his eyes were like sharp knives, as if they penetrated her heart, leaving her with no secrets.
"Brother..." Zhang Yue wanted to say something, but looking at the light on the horizon, he knew that the pulse was about to open, so he withdrew his voice and retreated to the two of them.
