A Dying Man!

"Yu Chan Sister Yuchan"

A familiar voice approached, Yun Yuchan turned her head to see Zhou Hao walking slowly towards her.

"Senior brother." The tears in Yun Yuchan's eyes Origin Power the moment she turned her head.

Her beautiful face was marred by reddened eyes, making one feel a pang of pity upon seeing her.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Hao asked, puzzled.

"It's something from a past life," Yun Yuchan said sadly, "And I've recalled some fragments."

"Looks like some bad memories," Zhou Hao suddenly realized.

Reincarnated immortals are special. As their strength increases in this life, their soul becomes stronger, and they remember more about their past lives. At a certain level, they will even fully awaken their past life memories.

"Walk with me for a bit," Zhou Hao said softly. "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

Last time, in the Northern Xiulu Continent of the Profound Heaven Realm, in front of the Golden Qi Fiend Vein, Yun Yuchan told me about her past life as a demon immortal.

Often, pain stems from suppression. Expressing it, venting it, and having someone listen will naturally change how you perceive it.

"In my previous life, I lived in seclusion with my clan in a small world," Yun Yuchan said slowly. "It was a small world where the path of immortality was not flourishing. Although there were humans and demons, the strongest among them were only at the Myriad Phenomena Realm."

"Although our Jade Cicada clan is not numerous, because we have an ancestor at the Celestial Immortal level, we have always lived in seclusion in a unique space, and no other beings know that our Jade Cicada clan exists in that world."

Looking at the shimmering lake in the distance, Yun Yuchan smiled slightly, "Besides cultivation, I sometimes leave my clan's territory, transform into a human, and travel to the outside world. I've even made a few human friends there."

Zhou Hao could imagine that living in such a peaceful little world, though perhaps not exciting, would be tranquil enough.

"But suddenly one day, a powerful group of human cultivators arrived in our small world, shattering the peace. They slaughtered indiscriminately, seeking to conquer the entire world and enslave all living beings." Yun Yuchan said calmly, her gaze distant. "My best friend also died in the resistance."

Zhou Hao sighed.

Such invasions of small worlds are extremely common throughout the Three Realms.

Even in their Xia Clan Great World, large tribes would send armies of cultivators to conquer various smaller worlds.

Colonialism, plunder... vying for all resources in order to develop the tribe.

The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough. The way of man is different; he takes from those who have less than enough and gives to those who have more than enough!

If you are weak, you are destined to be invaded by stronger forces.

It's cruel, but that's the nature of the world.

This applies to mortals as well as those who cultivate immortality.

"The flames of war that swept across the world soon reached our clan's territory. At that time, I had only recently entered the Void Return. After my clansmen and I had just repelled the invaders, an even greater disaster struck. Four or five Celestial Immortals, and a large group of Earth Immortal Loose Immortal..."

Yun Yuchan didn't say anything more, but Zhou Hao knew that if a tribe could send out four or five Celestial Immortals, it would definitely be one of the most powerful forces even in the Xia Clan Great World. What awaited their tribe was the calamity of extermination.

The two stood there, and Zhou Hao, unsure how to comfort them, could only ask, "Junior Sister, do you know which force was behind this?"

"I don't know." Yun Yuchan shook her head. "Perhaps I'll only know when I fully awaken my memories of my past life."

Zhou Hao nodded, about to speak, when suddenly a powerful wave emanated from afar.

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao and Yun Yuchan both turned to look at the distant sky.

A large, ancient ship broke through the air currents and entered the Winged Serpent Lake area.

Battle flags fluttered on the large ship, and the characters 'Shao Yan' were clearly visible even from dozens of miles away.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...

Figures flew up from Clear Heart Island, and Ji Ning and the others also sensed the fluctuations and came out to investigate.

Liu Yu and Lin Xia'er also flew into the air, their eyes noticing Zhou Hao standing by the lake, and then the two flew over to him.

As soon as they landed, Liu Yu noticed that Yun Yuchan's eyes were red. She looked at Zhou Hao with a puzzled expression and asked Yun Yuchan, "Senior Sister Yu Chan, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Yun Yuchan's cheeks were a little hot.

In recent days, Liu Yu has mentioned ancient legends such as Ehuang and Nüying, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

Now that she had discovered Yun Yuchan spending time alone with her senior brother, she felt extremely embarrassed.

"It's because Yu Chan recalled some fragments of her past life, and she's feeling a bit sad," Zhou Hao said casually.

"Oh." Liu Yu nodded. "Senior brother, it's the Shaoyan Clan's warship that's here."

"Yes, I see it." Zhou Hao looked at the large ship in the distance, high in the sky.

At this moment, Ji Ning, Nine Lotus who had just returned, Yu Wei, Cangjiang, and Mu Zishuo were talking with a large group of people who flew out of the ship. The leader was a young man dressed in blue, exuding an air of nobility.

"Shaoyan Clan?" Lin Xia'er murmured the unfamiliar tribal name. "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, isn't the Shaoyan Clan from Anchan Prefecture?"

"The Shaoyan Clan is one of the top ten most powerful clans in the entire Great Xia World," Liu Yu said. "The clan has three members who have been granted the title of Marquis, and their three fiefdoms far surpass those of Anchan Prefecture. Their foundation is so deep that even the Great Xia Dynasty treats them with respect."

"How come such a powerful tribe's warships would come to Winged Serpent Lake?" Lin Xia'er blinked.

"I'm here for a reason," Zhou Hao said meaningfully.

It has to be said that the inertia of the original work is really strong.

According to the original story, the one who came was Shaoyan Nong, one of the leaders of the younger generation of the Shaoyan Clan clan. He came to Winged Serpent Lake to gather helpers and go to a Immortal Mansion to complete the clan's test.

"Senior brother, aren't you going to go and take a look?" Lin Xia'er asked.

"Not interested." Zhou Hao shook his head.

He's just a junior member of the Shaoyan Clan, and a dying man at that. What's so interesting about him?

"Senior sisters, are you going?" Lin Xia'er asked Liu Yu and Yun Yuchan.

It's obvious she wants to go.

Feeling awkward, Yun Yuchan saw Liu Yu shake her head and said, "I'll go with you."

The two then flew toward the large group of people gathered in the air.

... In mid-air, Ji Ning and the others had just met Shaoyan Nong.

Just as Shaoyan Nong was about to explain his purpose, he saw two girls flying over from a distance. The girl in black, in particular, was even more delighted than the Fire Rainbow Fairy Yu Wei, who had caught his eye earlier.

"Such a small Winged Serpent Lake actually has so many beauties." Shaoyan Nong exclaimed inwardly, then asked Nine Lotus, who was standing next to Ji Ning, "Are these two also disciples of the Black-White Academy?"

As the next leader of the Dongyan Clan, Nine Lotus holds an extraordinary position and is also Ji Ning's Daoist partner. She was the one who introduced her to Shaoyan Nong just now.

"These two fairies are the Changsheng sisters of Immortal Zhou Hao, not disciples of our Black-White Academy," Nine Lotus said with a smile. "Changsheng Zhou Hao is acquainted with my Daoist partner Ji Ning. He recently came to Winged Serpent Lake for a leisurely visit, and the two fairies came along with him."

"Changsheng Immortal Zhou Hao?" Shaoyan Nong was taken aback, then nodded. "I've heard of his reputation in the capital. So the Changsheng Zhou Hao is here too?"

As he spoke, his gaze followed the direction from which Yun Yuchan and Lin Xia'er had flown.

Sure enough, they saw a man and a woman dressed in white whispering by the lake, seemingly completely unconcerned about what was happening in their direction.

"Young master, shall I go and summon him?" the dark-skinned middle-aged man standing beside Shaoyan Nong transmitted his voice.

"Don't meddle," Shaoyan Nong transmitted his voice. "Tianbao Mountain is currently gathering information on all the extraordinary Myriad Phenomena in the world for the Immortal Fate Assembly three years from now. It is said that Zhou Hao's second avatar is Void Return level god-demon, whose combat power is comparable to a Celestial Immortal. He is a favorite to win the championship this time, even stronger than you, Uncle Fang."

"Void Return Level God-Demon?" The dark-skinned middle-aged man was startled and immediately dared not speak further.

He was an ancient god-demon of the Xiangliu clan at the primordial spirit level. He didn't take ordinary Loose Immortal Earth Immortal seriously, but he was still afraid when facing a god-demon at the Void Return level whose combat power was comparable to that of a celestial immortal.

In truth, Shaoyan Nong also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Given his status, when he came to Anchan Prefecture from the capital, high-ranking figures from the Beishan Clan and Yinglong Guard would eagerly receive him and even provide him with manpower to command.

Upon arriving at Winged Serpent Lake, we were completely ignored.

However, Shaoyan Nong had been cultivated since childhood and knew that truly extraordinary people would not care about their status.

On the contrary, one should treat others with courtesy and make a conscious effort to befriend them.

However, with Ji Ning and the others in sight, Shaoyan Nong couldn't bring himself to condescend to see Zhou Hao. He could only pretend that nothing had happened, politely nodding to Yun Yuchan and Lin Xia'er before refusing to mention anything about Zhou Hao.

This scene also made Ji Ning, Cangjiang and others sigh inwardly.

So what if Shaoyan Nong is the fourth young master of the Great Xia Royal Capital? And what about the next leader of the Shaoyan Clan, and the future Duke Feather God?

Even if someone possesses the power of an Changsheng, they won't give you any face, and you won't dare to say a word; you can only pretend nothing happened.

"Indeed, strength is the foundation," Ji Ning thought to himself. "Only those with strength can become truly powerful."
