Chapter 173: The Past Life Is Not the Past Life!

【303 years old: By your clan’s command, you led your clansmen to guard a certain realm gate in the Heavenly Cloud Realm, only to find the cultivators of the Myriad Medicine Realm suddenly attacking. In that battle, the Heavenly Cloud Realm suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, you were unharmed.】

【304 years old: The battle last year made you dare not underestimate the Myriad Medicine Realm. To strengthen your power, you applied to your clan to enter the Ancestral Ground for tempering. After three years in the Ancestral Ground, you finally stepped into Void Return and emerged from seclusion.】

【305 years old: The war between the two realms had reached its peak intensity. The cultivators of the Heavenly Cloud Realm were all but dead, and the cultivators of the Myriad Medicine Realm had suffered heavy losses as well. To avoid mutual destruction, your clan decided to send you to negotiate peace.】

【306 years old: Accompanied by a Supreme of your clan, you arrived at the Myriad Medicine Realm. But who could have known that the moment you set foot in this realm, it would trigger a phenomenon of heaven and earth? The cultivators of the Myriad Medicine Realm, as if receiving some kind of command, crazily surged toward you to kill.】

【307 years old: To cover your retreat, a Supreme of your clan self-detonated without hesitation, shocking both enemy and ally alike. You took the opportunity to flee back to your clan.】

【…】

【607 years old: To avenge yourself against the Myriad Medicine Realm, you cultivated bitterly. Not long ago, you finally reached the Great Perfection of Void Return.】

【608 years old: After secluding yourself all day, you felt somewhat bottlenecked, so you began wandering throughout the Heavenly Cloud Realm. In recent years, because so many Great Vehicle cultivators had died in the war between the two realms, Great Vehicle relics and Secret Realms had actually become more numerous.】

【609 years old: You accidentally entered a Great Vehicle relic and picked up the remains of a Supreme. Within it was actually a Dao-Forging Pill, which allowed you to successfully step into the Dao Integration Realm.】

【610 years old: Relying on the many treasures within that Supreme’s remains, you actually advanced continuously within a single year, stepping into the mid-stage of Dao Integration.】

【611 years old: The great army of the Myriad Medicine Realm pressed in once more. Seeing this, your clan fought desperately to resist.】

【…】

【700 years old: Nearly a century of war had left less than one in ten of your clansmen alive. Though your cultivation had stepped into the late-stage of Dao Integration over these years, you still could not withstand the invasion of the Myriad Medicine Realm. The other side’s target was very clear — it was you.】

【701 years old: The Golden Dragon Realm declared war on the Myriad Medicine Realm and dispatched a large number of powerhouses to support your clan.】

【702 years old: The tide of war reversed. The great army of the Myriad Medicine Realm collapsed across the board. The cultivators of the Heavenly Cloud Realm and the Golden Dragon Realm took advantage of the momentum to invade the Myriad Medicine Realm, seizing the upper hand in one stroke.】

【703 years old: The remnants of the Myriad Medicine Realm’s army continued to resist within their homeland for another year. During this year, you led your clansmen on a slaughter through the Myriad Medicine Realm. But for some reason, no matter where you went, you felt as though someone was watching you.】

【…】

【800 years old: The native forces of the Myriad Medicine Realm had completely submitted. You had also successfully crossed your tribulation. But just as you were about to leave and return to the Heavenly Cloud Realm, a shocking giant hand suddenly grabbed at you. Fortunately, the dragon scale in your bosom suddenly activated, and only then did you escape calamity.】

【801 years old: You no longer dared enter the Myriad Medicine Realm. You seemed to recall a saying from your previous life — in that small mountain village, there had been a Doctor who once praised your extraordinary physique.】

【802 years old: The resources of the Myriad Medicine Realm were divided between your clan and the Golden Dragon Realm. You finally welcomed a rare moment of leisure.】

【803 years old: On this day, you were cultivating when you suddenly sensed something calling to you from the unseen. You rose and flew toward the sky veil.】

【…】

【900 years old: Beyond the sky veil, a staff of peculiar design stood above the river of stars. Looking at that staff, you immediately thought of the staff forged by the Blacksmith in the village of your previous life.】

【901 years old: You tried to refine this staff, only to find that no matter what, it would not obey. Helpless, you could only temporarily subdue it.】

【902 years old: Your cultivation reached the mid-stage of Tribulation Crossing. All day long, you were either thinking of ways to refine that staff or thinking of ways to improve your cultivation.】

【903 years old: One day, as you sat in your Clan Ground, you suddenly felt an immense terror about to descend. The Pseudo-Immortal Seniors among your clan’s Supremes also sensed this crisis and came forth one after another, yet none were a match for the newcomer.】

【904 years old: That immense terror was actually a bare-chested, burly man. He suddenly appeared in your Clan Ground, snatched away your staff, and before leaving, glanced at you once more. You recognized him — he was the Blacksmith from your previous life.】

【…】

【1200 years old: Your cultivation reached Great Vehicle. You had a premonition that before your ascension, you would still encounter a few acquaintances.】

【1201 years old: Sure enough, on your way to another Middle Thousand World, you happened to meet a husband and wife with terrifying auras. The two sides looked at each other, and you only felt an intense familiarity.】

【1202 years old: You attended an auction jointly held by numerous Middle Thousand Worlds. There were many treasures at the auction, but only one item most drew your gaze — a Skull of peculiar design.】

【1203 years old: You bid on and won that Skull of peculiar design. For some reason, looking at it, you always felt it resembled someone, yet you seemed unable to tell who.】

【…】

【1344 years old: You, who had not needed sleep for many years, suddenly fell into a deep sleep one night, and even dreamed. In the dream, you dreamed of an old man loudly mocking you: "You little brat, did you buy this old man’s head just to use as decoration?"】

【1345 years old: You woke from the dream with a start. In an instant, countless memories and countless recollections surged into your mind. You remembered everything.】

【1346 years old: So the No-Immortal Village of your previous life had never existed at all. Those people were nothing but your obsessions before you sat in meditation and passed away in your last life. Your father and mother were actually the last trace of Clarity in your heart. The Doctor was the hysteria of your desire to save yourself. The Blacksmith and the iron staff represented the weapon you had always used in life. The golden fish was the Golden Dragon mount that accompanied you the longest. As for the Old Village Chief, he was the desire in your heart.】

【1347 years old: The memories of your previous life returned at this moment. In your last life, you were the son of a True Immortal of the Upper Realm. Because you were too much of a wastrel and killed too many, you were sentenced to death at the Immortal-Slaying Platform. Before death, various Immortal Thoughts transformed into illusions to protect your memories and your Spiritual Platform’s true heart, allowing you to reincarnate and cultivate anew with your memories. And precisely because of this, those Immortal Thoughts also met you again in this life.】

【…】

【1489 years old: After you understood everything, your cultivation in an instant reached the Great Perfection of Great Vehicle, yet you still could not ascend.】

【1490 years old: You were furious beyond measure. Unable to understand why you could not ascend, you began using your clan’s power to force an ascension.】

【1491 years old: On this day, you, at the cost of expending the power of several hundred Great Vehicle cultivators, forcibly summoned the guiding immortal light, wanting to force your way into the Immortal Realm. But little did you know, the instant the guiding immortal light shone upon you, someone among the True Immortals of the Upper Realm recognized you with a spiritual treasure. Looking at your sinful previous life, you were executed on the spot by a single immortal art.】

【Ding! Simulation ended: You died】
