According to legend, there was a river of time in this world, supporting the flow of the world. Using the Spring Autumn Cicada's power, one could go against the current and return to the past.
Regarding this rumor, there were many opinions. Many people didn't believe it, and some people were skeptical.
Almost no one was sure.
Because every time the Spring Autumn Cicada was used, one had to pay with their life, sacrificing their entire body and all their cultivation to power it.
This price was too high. What was even more unacceptable was that one often paid with their life, not knowing what the result would be.
Even if someone obtained the Spring Autumn Cicada, they would not dare to use it carelessly.
What if the rumor was false, and it was just a scam?
If not for Fang Yuan's desperation, he would not have used it so quickly.
But now, Fang Yuan completely believed it.
Because the truth was right in front of him, there was no way to refute it. He had indeed been reborn!
"It's a pity for this good Gu. I spent a lot of effort, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, incurred the wrath of the heavens, and painstakingly refined it …" Fang Yuan sighed in his heart. Although he had been reborn, he did not bring the Spring Autumn Cicada with him.
Man was the spirit of all creatures, and Gu was the essence of heaven and earth.
There were countless Gu of all shapes and sizes. Some Gu would disappear after being used once or twice or thrice. Some Gu, as long as it was not overused, could be reused.
Perhaps the Spring Autumn Cicada was a consumable Gu that could only be used once.
"But even if it's gone, I can refine another one. I could refine it in my previous life, can't I do it in this life? "After the pity, Fang Yuan could not help but feel a surge of ambition and heroism.
He could be reborn, and the loss of the Spring Autumn Cicada was completely acceptable.
Moreover, he had treasures on him, he did not have nothing.
This treasure was his five hundred years of memories and experience.
There were many treasures in his memory, but no one had opened them yet. There were many major events that allowed him to easily grasp the context of history. There were countless figures of people, some were reclusive seniors, some were geniuses, and some were not even born yet. It also contained the arduous cultivation and rich combat experience he had accumulated over the past five hundred years.
With these, he undoubtedly grasped the big picture and had the initiative. As long as he manipulated it well, it wouldn't be a problem for him to roam the world unhindered and recreate the demeanor of a great demon. In fact, he might even be able to reach a higher realm!
"Then how should I operate it …" Fang Yuan was very rational. He quickly collected his emotions and pondered while facing the night rain outside the window.
When he thought about it this way, he felt that there were a lot of things to think about.
After thinking for a moment, his frown deepened.
Five hundred years was indeed a long time. Let's not talk about those blurry memories that I can't recall. Even though there were many hidden treasures and Immortal Masters' fortuitous encounters, most of them were either thousands of miles apart or could only be opened at a specific time.
"The most important thing is still cultivation. His primeval sea had yet to open and he had yet to embark on the path of a Gu Master's cultivation. He was simply a mortal! I have to cultivate as soon as possible and increase my cultivation. I have to seize the initiative and reap as many benefits as possible before history. "
Furthermore, if one's cultivation wasn't high enough, they wouldn't be able to digest the treasures even if they obtained them. On the contrary, it was a hot potato, a crime of possessing a jade.
The first problem in front of Fang Yuan was cultivation.
He had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible. If it was as slow as in his previous life, it would be too late.
"To raise my cultivation as soon as possible, I have to use the clan's resources. With my current situation, I don't have the ability to travel through the dangerous mountains. Even a normal wild boar can take my life. If I can reach the cultivation of a Rank three Gu Master, I will have the basic ability to protect myself and travel through the mountains and rivers in this world. "
From the perspective of a Demonic Path Overlord who had trained for five hundred years, this Qing Mao Mountain was really too small. The Guyue village was more like a cage.
However, while a cage imprisons freedom, a sturdy prison cell often represents a certain kind of security.
"Hmph, for the time being, I'll just toss and turn around in this prison cell. As long as I advance to Rank three, I can leave this poor mountain. But luckily, tomorrow is the Awakening Ceremony. Not long after, I can officially start my Gu Master cultivation. "
Once he thought of the Awakening Ceremony, the dusty memories in Fang Yuan's heart surfaced.
"Aptitude …" Looking out the window, he couldn't help but laugh coldly.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a young man walked in.
"Brother, why are you standing by the window in the rain?"
This young man was thin, slightly shorter than Fang Yuan, and his face was very similar to Fang Yuan's.
Fang Yuan turned around to look at this young man, a complicated expression flashing across his face.
"Oh, it's you, my twin brother." He raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression returning to its usual indifference.
Fangzheng lowered his head, looking at his toes. This was his signature move. "I saw that brother's window was not closed, so I wanted to sneak in and close it. Tomorrow is the Awakening Ceremony. Brother, it's so late and you're still not sleeping. If uncle and aunt knew, they would be worried. "
He was not surprised at Fang Yuan's indifference, because his brother had always been like this since he was young.
Sometimes he would think that maybe geniuses were different from ordinary people like this. Although he looked very similar to his brother, he was as ordinary as an ant.
They were born from the same mother's womb, so why was the heavens so unfair? His brother was gifted with the talent of a diamond, while he was as ordinary as a pebble.
Everyone around him would say "This is Fang Yuan's younger brother" when talking about him.
Uncle and aunt often told him to learn from his brother.
Even when he looked in the mirror and looked at his own face, he felt disgusted!
These thoughts had been accumulating in the depths of his heart for many years. Like a huge rock pressing on his chest, Fangzheng's head drooped lower and lower over the years, and he became more and more taciturn.
"Worry …" Thinking of his uncle and aunt, Fang Yuan sneered silently in his heart.
He remembered very clearly that the parents of this body had both died because of a family mission. When he was three years old, he and his brother became orphans.
In the name of raising them, his uncle and aunt openly took over his parents' inheritance, and treated him and his brother harshly.
As a transmigrator, he had planned to hide his strength and bide his time. But the hardships of life forced Fang Yuan to choose to reveal his extraordinary "talent".
The so-called genius was actually just the rationality of a mature soul, and a few famous poems from the Tang and Song dynasties on Earth.
Even with such a small display of skill, he was still regarded as a celestial being, and received widespread attention. Under the external pressure, the young Fang Yuan had no choice but to maintain a cold and indifferent expression to protect himself and reduce the possibility of being exposed.
Over time, indifference became his habitual expression.
Just like that, his uncle and aunt could no longer treat him and his brother harshly. As he grew older, his future became more promising, and his treatment also increased.
But this was not love, but a kind of investment.
It was laughable that his brother did not see the truth. Not only was he deceived by his uncle and aunt, but he also buried his hatred towards him. Although he looked obedient now, in his memory, after he was tested to have an A grade aptitude, he was nurtured by the family, and his hidden hatred and jealousy was released. He often targeted, made things difficult, and suppressed his own brother.
As for his own aptitude …
Hehe, the highest he had was only a C grade.
Fate was always joking.
A pair of twins, the elder brother's aptitude was only C grade, but he enjoyed the title of genius for more than ten years. The younger brother was unknown, but he had an A grade aptitude.
The result of the enlightenment shocked the clansmen. It also caused the treatment of the two brothers to be completely reversed.
The younger brother was like a dragon rising to the sky, while the older brother was like a phoenix falling to the ground.
After that, there were many difficulties from the younger brother, the cold eyes of his uncle and aunt, and the contempt of the clansmen.
Hate?
Fang Yuan had hated in his previous life. He hated his lack of aptitude, hated the ruthlessness of the clan, and hated the unfairness of fate.
But now, with 500 years of life experience, he re-examined this process. His heart was calm, and there was no hatred.
What was there to be angry about?
Thinking about it from another perspective, he could also understand his younger brother, uncle and aunt, and the righteous enemies who besieged him 500 years later.
The weak were prey to the strong, survival of the fittest. This was the nature of this world.
Moreover, everyone had their own ambitions, and they were all fighting for the heavenly secrets. What was there not to understand about killing and suppressing each other?
500 years of experience had long made him see through all of this. In his heart, there was only the path of immortality.
If someone stood in his way, no matter who it was, it would only be a matter of life and death.
The ambition in his heart was too great. Once he set foot on this path, he was destined to be the enemy of the whole world. He was destined to be alone, and he was destined to kill.
This was the realization condensed from 500 years of life.
"Revenge is not my plan. The path of an evil demon has never been one of compromise." Thinking of this, Fang Yuan could not help but laugh. He turned his head to look at his younger brother, and said, "You can leave."
Fangzheng's heart could not help but palpitate. He felt that his brother's gaze was as sharp as an ice blade, as if it could penetrate the deepest part of his heart.
Under such a gaze, he felt as if he was naked in the snow, and there was no secret to speak of.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow, brother." Not daring to say anything else, Fangzheng slowly closed the door and retreated.
