Xiaogang's Plan B

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's gates welcomed a buzz cut.

"Well, well, if it isn't our Young Master Xiao Gang, whose farting Luo Sanpao could split the heavens and shatter the earth. Couldn't make it out there, so you came crawling back?"

"How many times the cultivation resources are you applying for this time? You should be level 29. Let me guess—you want twenty-nine times the resources?"

"Gangzi, after all these years out there, you still haven't broken through level 29? Which elder do you want to transmit their power to help you cultivate this time?"

The buzz cut lowered his head as he walked up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's steps, the mockery of his clansmen ringing endlessly in his ears.

In his previous life, Yu Xiaogang had risen through his disciple to become the Teacher of Gods, reaching level 93. It had been many years since he had suffered such humiliation. For one brief moment, he even felt that Dong'er's destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in his previous life had been deeply satisfying.

Hmph, you blind fools. Just wait until I become a god—I will settle this score with every last one of you. Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.

Enduring his clansmen's ridicule, he arrived at the residence of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's master and found Yu Yuanzhen.

Regarding this disappointing son of his, Yu Yuanzhen asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Father," Yu Xiaogang said, "there is something important I wish to tell you. I hope you can dismiss everyone else first."

Yu Yuanzhen dismissed the attendants, leaving only Yu Xiaogang behind, then said, "Speak."

Yu Xiaogang then concealed the matter of his rebirth and only revealed the true nature of his martial soul, Luo Sanpao, as well as the Icefire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

The moment Yu Yuanzhen heard this, he could no longer sit still. He immediately brought Yu Xiaogang to Sunset Forest to search for the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

This was also Yu Xiaogang's first step after being reborn. He was still young and at the prime age for cultivation. If he could absorb immortal herbs at this age, Luo Sanpao might yet evolve into the Golden Holy Dragon. Then he would be qualified to become a powerhouse in the future.

Thus, under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, Yu Yuanzhen headed into Sunset Forest.

However, when Yu Xiaogang set foot in the place where the Icefire Yin Yang Well had stood in his previous life, he found nothing but mountain range after mountain range.

"There doesn't seem to be any Icefire Yin Yang Well here," Yu Yuanzhen said, stroking his beard.

"How could that be... Where is the Icefire Yin Yang Well? I remember it should have been here." Yu Xiaogang stared in disbelief before hurriedly adding, "I must have remembered wrong. Father, let's search somewhere else."

Over the next month or so, Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Xiaogang through every corner of Sunset Forest, yet they still failed to find the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

In the end, Yu Yuanzhen gave up and casually dumped Yu Xiaogang in a city near Sunset Forest.

Disappointed, Yu Yuanzhen said, "Sunset Forest is not as large as Star Dou Great Forest. People have ventured into it year-round to hunt Soul Rings and drawn detailed maps of the place. If that so-called Icefire Yin Yang Well existed, someone would have mapped it long ago."

"No, that's impossible. The Icefire Yin Yang Well must exist. Father, let's keep looking," Yu Xiaogang pleaded.

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. "I am the master of a sect. I cannot waste my time on something so uncertain. Take care of yourself."

With that, Yu Yuanzhen left.

Even after his father departed, Yu Xiaogang's mind remained fixed on the Icefire Yin Yang Well. Then, all at once, he recalled something from his previous life.

After Tang San ascended to godhood in his previous life, the Icefire Yin Yang Well disappeared. The descendants of the Dugu Bo Family used the map Dugu Bo had left behind, yet they could never find that treasured land.

In his later years, Yu Xiaogang had also tried to search for the Icefire Yin Yang Well to achieve a further breakthrough, but he too had ended with nothing.

The Icefire Yin Yang Well had vanished.

"Could it be..." A suspicion arose in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

In his previous life, after Tang San became a god, Yu Xiaogang had learned certain secrets. For example, Tang San had been brought from another world by the Asura God, a heaven-appointed inheritor of the Asura Godhood—only for the Sea God to snatch him away halfway through.

The Icefire Yin Yang Well had appeared because Tang San arrived and vanished because Tang San left. Could it be that this opportunity had been a destined blessing the Asura God of the God Realm had prepared for Tang San?

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang was instantly consumed by jealousy—heartfelt jealousy toward Tang San. Tang San had not even been born yet, and his godhood had already been secured. The Asura God of the God Realm had arranged several opportunities for him, and even if he died, someone would arrange for his resurrection. And what about Yu Xiaogang? His martial soul had degenerated into Luo Sanpao, and before Tang San arrived, he had achieved nothing of note.

Without that traitorous disciple, he truly had no chance of making it on his own.

Though he was filled with dissatisfaction toward Tang San, his future traitorous disciple, Yu Xiaogang could only accept his fate. If he wanted to turn his life around, his only path was to take Tang San as his disciple.

Yu Xiaogang's buzz cut spun at high speed as he came up with a viable strategy. His eyes lit up.

"No, there's still Dong'er. Perhaps there is another path."

In his previous life, he had been kept in the dark until Bibi Dong's dying moment, when he finally understood that Dong'er had always loved him deeply. It was Qian Xunji who had forced her to drive him away.

Bibi Dong was the future Rakshasa God.

Strictly speaking, Bibi Dong and the Tang Family father and son had not initially held much hatred for one another. The ones who truly bore a grudge against them were the Angel Clan. The only central conflict between Bibi Dong and Tang San in the early days was that Bibi Dong had hunted and killed Xiao Wu's mother.

If he stopped Bibi Dong from hunting that soul beast and secretly repaired his relationship with her, then brought together Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall and his beloved disciple Tang San, their only enemy would be the Angel Clan within Spirit Hall.

By then, his lover would be Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, while his beloved disciple would be Tang San, holder of both the Asura Godhood and Sea Godhood. In the future, even if that traitorous disciple Tang San refused to bring him to the God Realm, he would still have Bibi Dong as insurance.

At that thought, Gangzi immediately felt that his future was bright once more.

In this life, he decided to live off Bibi Dong.

He looked in Spirit Hall's direction and thought of what was happening there. His lover was being pounded relentlessly by that beast Qian Xunji and had even become pregnant with a bastard child. The buzz cut turned green with jealousy.

But when he considered that Bibi Dong needed to devour an Angel Martial Soul to inherit the divine trial, he knew there could be no godhood without hatred. Gangzi could only silently endure it.

"Dong'er, I'm sorry. You'll just have to suffer for now," Gangzi said shamelessly. "After all, only once you become the Rakshasa God can you take me to the God Realm."

Next, Yu Xiaogang decided to follow the path of his previous life. First, he would get to know Flender and Liu Erlong, then secure the Golden Holy Dragon, the martial soul fusion skill he had always been so proud of.
