Chapter 0001: Immortal and Indestructible, Reborn Five Years Ago
In the midst of Ren Cangqiong's dazed state, a boisterous voice called out from outside the door: "Third Aunt, it's not that I'm criticizing you. Your eldest son, Ren Xinghe, has mediocre talent and is not diligent in his pursuits; the second son, Ren Cangqiong, has willingly fallen into depravity, drinking to the point where his meridians are reversed. I see that your whole family is a bunch of oddities, completely ruining the little bit of face that my third uncle left behind..."
In that battle, he fought valiantly, but it was ultimately of no avail. Countless demon troops surged forth like a flood breaching a dam, utterly unstoppable.
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, leaving Ren Qinghong unable to utter a second word.
Qinghong, do not go over there, you...
At last, he, filled with humiliation and despair, exerted the last of his strength to employ the Disintegration Technique, perishing together with a leader of the demon clan
I long to reach out to the vast sky, yet it always seems just a little beyond my grasp
And now, five years later, he, who was supposed to perish alongside the demon clan, has unexpectedly returned to this most difficult period five years ago with his memories intact
Upon hearing the voice of this woman, Ren Cangqiong's originally pale face unexpectedly gained a few more shades of color due to excitement, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
He also wanted to open his mouth to shout, but no matter how hard he strained his throat, it seemed he was always just a little short of being able to make a sound.
Ren Qinghong laughed arrogantly: "What are you cursing about? Do you want me to repeat it again? Wretched woman, you gave birth to a pair of wretched offspring... Ah!"
Ren Qinghong opened her mouth, letting out another "ah" before spitting out a mouthful of blood
In the distance, it seemed as if I could see my brother waving at me from afar, and I could almost hear my mother sobbing in the corner. Various scenes, both real and illusory, were indescribable and impossible to capture
Such a powerful killing intent is not something that a peer can possess. It is more akin to a demon emerging from the battlefield of hell
However ... ...
The voice spoke while approaching Ren Cangqiong's room, crashing in recklessly, clearly without any regard. Breaking into a private residence was like entering a no-man's land
Looking around, the surrounding environment is also incredibly familiar. Even the bedding on the bed still retains its warmth... The bedside cabinet next to the bed, along with all the furnishings in the entire room...
Before Ren Qinghong could finish his sentence of reproach, a figure suddenly flashed before him. Almost simultaneously, he felt as if his lips, teeth, and tongue were all twisted and compressed together in an instant
Although it is said that one's cultivation cannot dramatically increase in an instant, the damage caused by the reversed meridians has long since healed, and there has even been a slight improvement in cultivation
Ren Cangqiong gently patted his mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, don't worry. I am not so lowly as to get angry with someone like that little rascal. He usually challenges me, and I can overlook it. But just now, did you hear what he called you?"
Even if Ren Qinghong is somewhat lacking in intelligence, he knows that challenging Ren Cangqiong at this moment is merely inviting trouble. Just a moment ago, he caught a glimpse of the chilling killing intent in Ren Cangqiong's eyes, and he found himself unable to muster even the courage to retort.
However, the current Ren Cangqiong is no longer the hot-headed brash man of his past, who would easily lose his temper over a few words
Every detail is conveyed to Ren Cangqiong; this is the living reality of the world.
Perhaps it was a twist of fate. The two most difficult and resentful points in his life seamlessly connected and perfectly overlapped, leading to this incredible rebirth
Striding through the corridor, he darted to the front of the courtyard, where he saw Ren Qinghong displaying his authority, gesturing animatedly at his mother, Qiu.
However, upon opening my eyes, I found myself here
The scene before me is deeply etched in Cang Qiong's memory. This scene had occurred five years ago!
Mother, this is your voice
Ren Cangqiong frowned and said, "Get out on your own, don't dirty my yard."
Sky, please do not be angry
The brutality of that final battle still sends shivers down Ren Cangqiong's spine, even after the passage of time and space.
Ren Cangqiong made a concerted effort to suppress the feelings of guilt, positioning his mother behind him and coldly gazing at Ren Qinghong
In the previous life, the guilt and regret of not being able to protect my mother safely surged like a flood at this moment. Despite the hostility filling the heavens, there was an impulse to punch and kill Ren Qinghong.
The door was kicked open with a "clang" by Ren Cangqiong
Then a woman's voice, tinged with a hint of sorrow, said: "Qinghong, if you truly cherish your third uncle's merits, you should not come here so frequently. The Moonlight Medal was earned by your third uncle, and naturally, it should be inherited by your third uncle's son. You..."
A surge of blood energy rushed directly into his acupoints and towards the dantian, allowing him to push open the door to the vast sky
Just awakened from the surprise of rebirth, Ren Cangqiong's expression was immediately shrouded in a layer of frost
At present, although it was five years ago, my mother appeared somewhat younger. However, the fine lines at the corners of her forehead were clearly a result of the disappointments caused by her two sons.
Ren Cangqiong felt as if he were drifting in the clouds at www.hetushu.com, yet also as if he were sinking in the abyss. There was always a spirit that remained undiminished, a surge of resentment that soared to the heavens, and endless regret that held his fragmented soul steadfastly from dispersing. Countless thoughts surged forth, continuously converging like rivers flowing into the sea.
All of this is real! It is not a dream!
It felt as if a needle had sharply pierced my brain, with a continuous buzzing and roaring sound.
Ren Cangqiong was devastated upon witnessing this scene. His heart felt as if it had been pierced by a steel needle. His hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, had unconsciously clenched into fists
Therefore, it is necessary to take action, as Ren Cangqiong is fully capable of defeating Ren Qinghong.
Ren Cangqiong stepped forward, placing one foot on Ren Qinghong's chest, and said calmly: "This punch will not take your life, for no other reason than that we both share the surname 'Ren'. Next time you enter my courtyard and make a noise, insulting my mother even once, I will surely kill you"
Mother, his dearest and beloved mother in a past life, died at the hands of the demon clan, and he was powerless to stop it. Now, with everything regained, how could someone insult her so?
That battle was filled with grievances beyond measure
Indeed, it is Xiao Qi. This youthful face, though long absent, still feels so familiar.
Qiu is well aware of her son's temperament and is afraid of causing trouble, gripping Ren Cangqiong's arm tightly
Ren Cangqiong's expression suddenly turned cold
The powerful resentment and regret from the final battle with the demon clan seemed to converge into a defiant will, allowing Ren Cangqiong to experience a dramatic transformation as he was reborn five years ago
Bang
Five years ago, he failed to cultivate ten plants of purple pearl grass. These ten plants of purple pearl grass were crucial to his lineage's contribution points in the family evaluation. As he watched the purple pearl grass unable to survive, feeling powerless to return to the heavens, he succumbed to despair under the vast sky, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. This led to a temporary reversal of his meridians, resulting in a backlash of true energy and a serious illness.
In that war, heaven and earth mourned together
"Third Aunt, if it weren't for Third Uncle, I would have long since kicked your entire family out of the Ren family. Tell me, what can your two useless sons do now besides living off handouts? When the Yuehua Medal comes, it will be wasted on them; it would be better off given to me. Isn't it a waste to let it fall into the hands of your two good-for-nothings?"
However, Ren Qinghong could never have imagined in his wildest dreams that the person standing before him, Ren Cangqiong, was already a fusion of consciousness from two lifetimes
Xiao Qi
If I remember correctly, my mother should now be only thirty-six years old. She ought to be living a life of luxury and ease, enjoying a comfortable upper-class lifestyle
Get lost, you shameless woman! When your husband was alive, I called you 'Aunt San.' Now that he is gone, you are just a shameless woman living under someone else's roof! If you block me again, do you believe I will hit you?
The mother, half-prostrate on the ground, was filled with sorrow and helplessness, yet she stubbornly clutched Ren Qinghong's right foot, preventing him from moving forward, fearing that he would disturb her son's quiet recovery
However, Ren Cangqiong still felt as if he were dreaming. How could he possibly be here? Wasn't he supposed to perish together with the leader of the demon clan?
Young Master, what is the matter with you? Wake up quickly. Young Master Qinghong is causing trouble again.
He witnessed with his own eyes his brother, who was about to be transformed into a puppet of the demon clan, take his own life with a sword.
Whether in terms of mental strength or cultivation, there has been a profound transformation that is almost imperceptible
How could he know that after experiencing the final battle against the invasion of the demon clan, enduring the pain of separation and death, and going through the cycles of life and death, his heart and will had long since been transformed beyond recognition
He witnessed with his own eyes his beloved mother being engulfed by the demon army, torn to shreds
The most incredible thing is that this defiant thought actually broke through the limits of cultivation and awakened the seed of the Great Dao within him
That battle, stained the mountains and rivers with blood
At that moment, a warm and familiar voice clearly rang in his ear
Ah pu—
In his previous life, Ren Cangqiong was a genius who possessed the seed of the Great Dao. Although at this time in his past life, his seed of the Great Dao had yet to awaken, in terms of strength, he was not inferior to Ren Qinghong
Ren Qinghong clearly did not take Ren Cangqiong seriously. She looked at Ren Cangqiong a few times from head to toe and exaggeratedly laughed, "Cangqiong cousin, why aren't you honestly staying in bed? Instead, you come out to puff your nose and glare at me. Are you perhaps dissatisfied?"
Ren Cangqiong suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing this voice. In front of him was a slightly youthful face, with clear eyes like a spring, filled with a hint of urgency, bending down at his bedside, gently shaking his arm, and breathing softly like an orchid.
This matter left a deep impression on Ren Cangqiong, as it was almost the beginning of his life's downward trajectory
He stepped forward to help his mother up, feeling a deep sense of guilt. In his previous life, he truly was a scoundrel; despite bearing the title of a genius, his stubborn personality prevented him from integrating into the mainstream circles of the family, causing his mother endless worry.
A heavy fist struck his face, directly sending him flying three to four yards away
Ren Cangqiong jumped up as if his soles had been pricked by a needle, his eyes revealing an incredulous expression as if he had seen a ghost, staring blankly at Xiao Qi.
The reason Ren Qinghong dares to be so arrogant is probably because he is confident that his meridians are reversed and his illness has not yet healed
