Chapter 998: Chapter 972: One Life After Another
At the end of the year, when winter was harsh, snow fell, and the world turned vast and desolate.
The large snowflakes, like goose feathers, dyed the world in a pure white hue.
Sixteen years have passed, Tangyu has grown from a little baby into a tall and handso young man. During these sixteen years, he has enjoyed the warmth brought by family affection.
At the Martial Arts Training Ground, he continues practicing swordsmanship, his swordplay makes the snowflakes even more enchanting. At sixteen, his swordsmanship has reached the peak and he can fully beco a renowned swordsman throughout the world. His strength is undoubtedly the top in Anyang County, capable of fighting a hundred alone.
But Tangyu was not happy, so he could only vent by practicing swordsmanship.
“Sixteen years, is it an illusion? Or have I really reincarnated? And if I wish to return to the Cultivation World, I must find a way out from this world?” Tangyu was confused, these sixteen years were truly real, each minute and second were genuine. Sixteen years felt unbearably long to Tangyu. This long duration also wore his will down to the point of breaking.
“This world fundantally lacks Immortal Spirit Qi, it’s completely exhausted, and I haven’t heard of anyone practicing Immortal Cultivation. My cultivation technique can’t be practiced in this world.” Tangyu shook his head, searching for a way out.
He made a decision in his heart.
Three days later, under the guise of traveling, he ventured out to explore the world.
However, three years later, he returned disappointed, unable to find any trace even though he searched the entire world.
Afterward, Tangyu could only stay at ho quietly, year after year. At twenty, his family arranged a marriage for him, the bride being the most beautiful woman in Anyang County, and Tangyu agreed and got married.
A year later, he beca a father, having a son.
…
In the flowing years, Tangyu subrged himself completely.
Living until ninety-three, Tangyu finally fell, but under his managent, the Hong Family beca incredibly prosperous, with descendants and grandchildren plentiful. His life was one without regrets.
In his dying monts, tears appeared at the corner of Tangyu’s eyes: “Shi Que senior, is this truly your test for ? An illusion? If it truly is an illusion, why make live a complete life in this illusion?”
Tangyu died, believing it was the end.
But when his consciousness returned, his eyes opened, and he found that he had reincarnated once more.
With the experience from the previous life, Tangyu quickly integrated and grasped this world.
In this life, he was the son of a hunter in a humble village; this era closely resembles Huaxia’s Warring States. Chaos and wars were rampant, making life unbearable.
At sixteen, he was forcibly drafted into the army, enduring countless difficulties and hardships. Tangyu spent three years in the army and finally earned a commander’s position, holding ten thousand elite troops.
Yet, in a battle, he was betrayed and surrounded by an army of a hundred thousand, fighting fiercely day and night for three days before finally being pierced by ten thousand arrows and dying.
In this life, he lived miserably and died heroically, a short life of rely twenty-five years.
——
In the third life, he was born into a Martial Arts World that honored martial prowess, similar to Earth’s Ancient Martial World.
Tangyu was born humbly but was gifted; under favorable circumstances, he joined a sect, starting as an Outer Sect Disciple, then climbing swiftly, needing only five years to leap from an ordinary person to the position of top disciple, shocking the world but also making many enemies.
The world was turbulent, with constant strife; for the pursuit of immortality, many wars erupted.
Tangyu dared to be an enemy of the world, and eventually, he fought a peak battle, shocking the entire world with his own might, standing at the highest level, unparalleled and brilliant.
Nonetheless, he could not find a way out of the world and died in the early Mystic Law Realm, ending in gloom, his lifespan a re sixty years.
——
In the fourth life, Tangyu was born into an imperial family, embroiled in scheming and bloody power struggles from birth.
Tangyu was caught in such struggles from the beginning, eventually fighting and shedding blood to seize the throne. Then, he fought against the world, contending with rulers and subjects.
In this life, he lived wearied, although wielding absolute power in the empire and having three thousand beauties in the harem, he was utterly exhausted. In the end, he was overthrown by his own son.
——
One reincarnation after another, each life an imrsion, making him forget it was a trial.
These were not illusions but genuine reincarnations, every life was incredibly real, causing him to sink beyond escape. Too real, too vivid.
Many things he hadn’t experienced before were displayed fully in these successive lives.
Until the tenth life, Tangyu astonishingly found he had returned to Earth, back to when he was ten years old.
When Tangyu looked at the exceedingly familiar house, at the herbs placed inside, at the familiar bricks and tiles, the grass and wood, even the few stones on the ground. The mountain outside, the clouds in the sky, even the air here, everything was so familiar.
“Why… am I back in Ghost Valley?” Tangyu was dumbfounded, staring blankly at everything around him, unable to resist pinching his face to find it wasn’t an illusion.
In the mirror, Tangyu also noticed he had returned to the age of ten, everything that had happened in his mory once again appearing. This ti, he wasn’t reincarnated, but directly returned to that year ten years ago. At this mont, Tangyu wondered if everything before was a dream and he was only now waking up.
“Hey, you little brat, I asked you to get sothing, what are you dawdling for over there?” Suddenly, a voice called out.
It was the voice of the Ghost Doctor.
Hearing this voice, Tangyu couldn’t help but turn around, seeing the Ghost Doctor in a gray robe walking over.
“Master—” Looking at the Ghost Doctor, Tangyu couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Ghost Doctor approached Tangyu, glanced at him, and said, “You don’t have a fever or cold, why are you standing here in a daze, what kind of look is that? Did you fall and knock the sense out of yourself?”
Recalling montarily, a mory surged up in Tangyu’s mind. Three days ago, while picking herbs in the back mountain, he accidentally fell off a cliff, but luckily, he hung onto a tree. Even so, he was in a coma for three days and nights, and only awoke today.
Tangyu blinked, and a question surfaced in his mind: “Could it be, I just had a dream?”
But, how could it be a dream?
So much had happened, how could it be a dream?
“Stop standing there in a daze, I made you so dicine, go drink it quickly,” said the Ghost Doctor.
Tangyu then followed the Ghost Doctor to drink the dicine, and after finishing, couldn’t help but take a walk around Ghost Valley; it was exactly the Ghost Valley from his mory, everything was so familiar.
For a mont, it left Tangyu intoxicated.
The following ti, although much like in Tangyu’s mory, strangely it wasn’t exactly the sa, with many differences here and there.
Until the year he turned twenty-three, finally one day, the Ghost Doctor summoned Tangyu, “Tangyu, I have an important task for you, pack your things and prepare to go down the mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Tangyu’s mind slightly trembled; in his mory, he knew of this task, which was to go down the mountain to treat Lin Feifei’s illness, then covertly investigate the Yin dical Sect’s movents in Donglin City, and eventually eliminate the Yin dical Sect.
Once again, everything was starting over.
The Ghost Doctor continued, “Go to Donglin City to find Lin Guotai from the Lin Group, and treat his daughter’s illness. You’ll know the specifics of the illness when you get there; it’s a long-term task, not sothing done in a couple of days. Once you’re in Donglin City, soone will contact you. Treating the sickness is one aspect, but there’s also an important covert mission for you, involving the Yin dical Sect’s recent activities; your most crucial task in Donglin City is to secretly investigate their movents.”
The Ghost Doctor then explained more about the Yin dical Sect to Tangyu.
After packing his things, Tangyu left Ghost Valley the next day, heading to Donglin City. Everything proceeded as before; he t Lin Guotai, who brought him ho. There, he quickly t Lin Feifei. Everything was still the sa; life felt as if it was starting anew.
Life began to unfold again.
From treating Lin Feifei’s illness to gradually sparking chemistry with her. Entering Linshan Middle School as a school doctor, treating Xia Xiaoyu, eting Mo Xiaoqing, and later on, even Guo Momo and Zhao Yaya appeared, one by one, each woman coming into his life.
Each one followed the path in his mory, once again moving from eting Tangyu to falling in love with him.
Stories of familiar yet estranged people replayed, people entering Tangyu’s life one by one.
Everything felt so familiar.
Yet everything seed so unfamiliar.
A dream?
An illusion?
Or a reality?
Intoxicated, lost, Tangyu had completely lost his direction. At this mont, only by imrsing himself in this kind of life could he find the last bit of comfort in his heart. At least, such a life was one he enjoyed, cherished, and found happiness in.
His dreams seed washed away.
The stories unfolded in new ways, not entirely as in his mories, but they beca better, more complete.
Finally, a major conspiracy erupted, the Yin Doctor appeared and was also wiped out by Tangyu’s Ghost Doctor.
After the Yin Doctor incident, Donglin City was peaceful again. Tangyu’s fa reached unprecedented heights.
The Ghost Doctor settled in Donglin City, but none of the following events happened. No Ancient Martial Realm, no Nine Great Holy Lands, no invasion of Dark World…
Life followed a beautifully charted course, everything was perfect, none of the rembered sufferings existed.
Even so, Tangyu unwillingly visited the place in his mory where the Myriad Saints Valley lay, but it was only a mountain; where was Holy Sun Town? Where was Myriad Saints Valley?
In this life, Tangyu was truly intoxicated!
