After decades, returning to his first homeland, Lin Tian was filled with emotions.
After entering the Ten Directions Heavenly Domain, he had walked forward step by step on the path of cultivation. He had thought of many things, but he had never thought that one day he would be able to return to this place again. It felt like a dream.
He looked down from the sky. The cities fell into his eyes. They were arranged in picturesque disorder, and he could see vehicles galloping.
He moved his gaze away from some of the big cities and looked at other places.
"The Spiritual Qi is thin, almost zero. The Great Dao is weak, difficult to sense."
He muttered to himself.
The Rainbow Divine Sword in his sea of consciousness had stopped vibrating. The Rainbow Divine Light absorbed it, but this had no effect. Because the initial vibration of the Divine Sword had already let him know that there was something special in this world. He would slowly search for it later.
At this time, he tried to sense the Spiritual Qi and Great Dao in this world and found that it was really scarce.
This was a completely unsuitable world for cultivation. It was very difficult to cultivate in such a world, as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He frowned. After a while, he shook his head and decided not to think about this for the time being.
"Let's go to that place first."
He whispered.
He grew up in an orphanage in this world and wanted to go there to have a look.
Looking down, he left the sky and began to descend.
However, in the next moment, his body shook violently, and he stopped abruptly as he gazed into the boundless sky.
"What was that just now?!"
Two beams of bright divine light shot out from his eyes.
In this world, he clearly sensed that the Spiritual Qi was very thin, and the Great Dao was very weak. However, just now, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying fluctuation. It seemed to be a kind of force that made him, a Celestial Venerable, feel his heart palpitate. That kind of force was somewhat vague, but it was very terrifying. It seemed to be able to suppress everything in the world.
He stopped and spread out a powerful Celestial Venerable level divine sense to explore. However, in an instant, he lost that feeling of palpitating heart and could not feel that terrifying force.
This made him frown again, and a bright light appeared in his eyes.
This aqua-blue star with thin Spiritual Qi and weak Great Dao was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface!
He stood there and continued to explore with his powerful divine sense, but he could no longer feel that kind of force from before.
"Forget it."
He stood in the sky for a long time before finally leaving, descending towards the surface of this world.
His speed was extremely fast. In just the blink of an eye, he landed on a great mountain in this world.
Compared to the majestic immortal mountains in Ten Directions Celestial Domain, this mountain was indeed a little small. The vegetation here was also very ordinary. Simple cypress trees, simple grass, and simple wildflowers — everything seemed very ordinary.
However, this actually made him feel very comfortable.
He walked on this mountain, leaving behind afterimages with each step. It was as if the ground had shrunk to an inch as he walked further away. Not long after, he arrived at a small mountain outside of a bustling city.
As far as the eye could see, there were tall buildings connected to each other in the city. Cars were speeding along, and people were coming and going. It was very lively.
"Bei Li, I'm back."
He muttered to himself.
The big city in front of them was called Beili. It was a bustling city and was very famous in this world.
Once born in this world, he grew up in this city.
Now, it was spring in this world, and everything was recovering. He looked at the city from afar. His gaze fell on the people coming and going in the city. Their clothes were completely different from his.
"It's time to change my clothes."
He muttered to himself.
He cultivated in Ten Directions Celestial Domain and walked in the cultivation world. Naturally, his clothes were very different from the ordinary people in this world. Now that he was back, it was impossible for him to wear the ancient clothes of the cultivation world. That would make him look a little different.
Divine light surged outside his body. The ancient clothes on his body instantly changed into the popular spring clothes in this world.
This was naturally not difficult for him, who was now a Celestial Master.
At the same time, after cultivating in Ten Directions Celestial Domain for dozens of years, his hair was different from the ordinary men in this world. It was very long. On this small mountain, his long hair was shaved off and turned into short hair.
"It's done."
He muttered.
At this time, his entire appearance had changed. On the surface, he looked no different from a young man in his twenties in this world.
He paused on the spot before walking out of the mountain. Not long after, he entered Beili City and walked in a fixed direction.
Soon, he came to a place in the southern area of Beili City.
As far as the eye could see, there was a large residential area in front of him. There were tall buildings and villas in between.
"This place …"
When he came here, he frowned.
In the past, there was an orphanage here. He grew up in this orphanage. But now, the orphanage in his memory was gone. The nearby appearance was also completely different from before. It was replaced by tall buildings.
"Time."
He muttered to himself.
It had been about fifty years since he left this world. Fifty years was enough to change a lot of things. The orphanage was transformed by an old man from his own courtyard. He took in and raised the infants and children who were abandoned or lost by their parents without compensation. He was one of them.
Now, so many years had passed. The old man in the past should have passed away. It was normal that the orphanage no longer existed.
He stood there and looked in front of him in a daze.
When he returned to this world, before coming to this place, he had guessed that the kind old man had passed away. After all, it had been about fifty years since he left this world. The old man was already eighty years old at that time. After fifty years, it was difficult for an ordinary person to live in this world. It was really difficult for an ordinary person to live for so long.
However, what he did not expect was that the courtyard of the old man that was converted into an orphanage no longer existed.
He wanted to return to this place to see the place where he used to live. More importantly, he wanted to pay his respects to the old man. If the courtyard was still there, he should be able to find the old man's descendants and use them to find the old man's tombstone.
But now, everything had changed. This made him feel regretful and even a little disappointed.
"Hey, old man, have you heard? Building 31 is haunted. It's very scary."
"Of course I've heard about such a big thing. It's quite fierce. It's said that it's a female ghost. Some people say that it's a woman who was burned to death in a courtyard here three years ago. The whole building is filled with chilly winds. "
Not far away, there was a long wooden bench about ten feet long. Two old men in their sixties were sitting on it. They pointed at the community in front of them and discussed.
Lin Tian stood outside the community in front of him. When he heard the conversation between the two old men, he was immediately moved.
The words' courtyard house 'were too sensitive for him at the moment.
On the long wooden bench, the two old men were about seventy-five years old. They looked at the community in front of them and discussed. Some young people passed by and could not help but laugh when they heard the content of the two old men's discussion.
"Two old men, what era is this? Are you two still superstitious? There's no such thing as ghosts and spirits. "
A young man laughed and walked away in the blink of an eye.
The other young people who passed by also shook their heads and walked away with smiles on their faces.
None of these young people believed in ghosts and spirits.
Outside the community, Lin Tian turned around and walked straight to the two old men.
"Two old men, can you tell me in detail what you just mentioned?"
He asked.
The courtyard. There was only one courtyard in this place, and it was only the old man's courtyard.
At this time, when he heard the words "courtyard", "the woman burned to death in the courtyard", and "female ghost", he was naturally very interested.
"Young man, are you interested?"
The two old men looked at Lin Tian.
"Yes!"
Lin Tian nodded seriously.
Seeing that Lin Tian was interested, the two old men were also happy to tell the story.
"Back then, this place was not as prosperous as it is now. At that time, there was a courtyard here, and it was the most eye-catching building in this area. Later, uh, about three years ago, the Lin Zong Group wanted to buy this area for development, but the compensation was very little. The people nearby were not willing to do so, and then, there were often gangsters who came to make trouble. Many people gradually became afraid and had no choice but to submit. However, the owner of the courtyard was very resistant. Although gangsters often came to make trouble and even threatened him, he was not willing to compromise and still refused to sell the courtyard."
One of the old men spoke and continued, "After all, that was someone else's ancestral home. It had been there for a long time. How could the owner be willing to sell it? Moreover, the compensation was very little. It was said that it was not even one-tenth of the total value of the courtyard. After that, the matter was at a stalemate for about a month. Suddenly, the courtyard was set on fire. The natural gas inside exploded, and the courtyard was destroyed. The owner's family of three all died. "
"What do you mean by the natural gas exploded? At that time, someone saw a few gangsters sneaking in before the courtyard was destroyed. It was obviously related to the Lin Zong Group."
The other old man said.
"That's what happened. Everyone can guess." The old man who spoke first sighed and looked at Lin Tian. He continued, "After that, the development of this area naturally started smoothly. After three years, this area was built into a luxurious area. The surrounding area also changed a lot and became more prosperous." The old man pointed at a large building that was more than a hundred meters tall in the area. "A few days ago, a large room in that building started to be haunted. It was a female ghost. It was very scary."
The old man continued, "Do you see that building? That's where the siheyuan used to be. Also, the owner of the big house and some of the other neighbors described the appearance of the female ghost. She really looked like one of the family of three who died in the siheyuan three years ago. She seemed to be the daughter of the family who died in the siheyuan."
Lin Tian looked at the hundred-meter-tall building in the area that the old man was pointing at. That was indeed the location of the courtyard that was converted into an orphanage. Even after so many years, he still remembered it clearly.
"Uncle, may I ask if there was an old man named Chen Qiyuan among the ancestors of the family of three who died in the courtyard three years ago? Did he once take in many orphans in the courtyard?"
He asked.
When he said that, the two old men were a little surprised.
"That was indeed the case. Young man, how did you know about this? That was fifty years ago. You look like you're in your twenties. How did you know so much about this? You even know the name of the Chen family's ancestor. Did you hear it from the neighborhood? "
The two old men were a little curious.
