Life is full of choices.
Ling Yi is now facing an extremely important decision.
Ling Yi's system is called Infinite Passive Aura.
If he were the author, the novel should be titled something like "My Infinite Passive Aura System ".
Therefore, the core is the Infinite Passive Aura.
But after Ling Yi reviewed his own experiences, he realized that he had long since strayed from the core.
For an author and for a novel, this is the beginning of its downfall; a poor ending or abandonment is almost inevitable.
But Ling Yi knew very well that the author couldn't collapse, and the novel couldn't collapse either; otherwise, he, the Protagonist, and the novel's world would be completely erased and vanish into thin air.
Therefore, Ling Yi faced a choice: to Reversal the author and forcibly pull the deviated main plot back.
To achieve this, one must give up the vast majority of what one currently possesses.
Although it's not a fresh start, it carries enormous risks for Ling Yi.
Because Reversal the author's wishes, all the established settings will be overturned.
The important thing is not whether the author can accept it, but whether the readers can accept it. If the readers cannot accept it, then the novel will still fail, and the world will still end in annihilation.
Ling Yi wasn't sure about the author's writing skills, but judging from this plot control, the author was definitely not a top-tier writer; most likely a Third Rate author, otherwise, they wouldn't have strayed so far from the main storyline...
This isn't just deviating, this is opening up a completely different parallel line.
The more Ling Yi looked, the more he felt he was doomed.
Readers and authors are different. No matter how an author writes, it's always a new story, and they always invest their emotions into it.
However, readers can experience aesthetic fatigue.
Time travel, time travel, endless time travel, and the Protagonist's storyline always starts strong but ends weakly—who can stand that?
But Ling Yi could also sense that the author had a major plot point, though he didn't know what it was.
Should we Reversal the author?
Alternatively, one can simply follow the author's subsequent plot developments until the author fills in the plot holes.
But can the hole really be filled? Ling Yi had serious doubts.
For him, going along with the plot has its advantages, such as being able to continue Fusion the laws. Once Fusion, Ling Yi might have the opportunity to break out of the novel's world.
We can continue to analyze the laws in different worlds; perhaps some of these laws will allow Ling Yi to break through the world barriers.
For example, the previously obtained Law of Illusion and Reality, the Laws Beyond the Boundary, and the mysterious laws of the apocalyptic world that Ling Yi was extremely looking forward to.
But that's also possible.
Ling Yi was conflicted; he didn't know what to choose at this moment.
At this moment, Ling Yi was extremely agitated and wanted to do something, so he involuntarily walked out of the Passionless Valley...
Fire Cloud Evil God disappeared from the Jianghu for five years.
Some say that the Fire Cloud Evil God lives in the Passionless Valley, but the Passionless Valley is now deserted, and the houses are covered in dust.
The ten-year-long Mount Hua Sword Tournament is approaching, and it remains to be seen whether the Fire Cloud Evil God will appear.
Inside a restaurant at the foot of Mount Hua, Guo Jing and Hua Zheng ate while listening to the conversations of the Jianghu practitioners around them.
"Alas, that White-Clad Swordsman killed another hundred people not long ago, have you heard?" A swordsman sighed and said from the side of Guo Jing's table.
"Of course I've heard about it; they're from the Lu Family Manor."
"Do you know the reason behind this?" the swordsman asked again.
"I didn't know that. If this brother does know, please tell me quickly, and I'll pay for the drinks today."
"Haha, you're too kind, you're too kind."
The swordsman laughed loudly, took a big gulp of wine, and then slowly said...
"That White-Clad Swordsman only appeared five years ago, and no one knows his identity to this day. His martial arts are extremely high, and he can kill someone with a single move."
Many people already knew this, but no one bothered the swordsman. After all, the White-Clad Swordsman had become Legend in the Jianghu, and no matter how many times they heard about him, they didn't find it annoying.
"In his first move, he killed Mei Chaofeng, who practiced evil arts, in the desert. Mei Chaofeng was a figure feared by everyone in the martial Jianghu. She practiced her skills on living people, and her Nine Yin White Bone Claw was used to attack human skulls, leaving five finger holes with a single strike."
"At that time, the White-Clad Swordsman happened to be passing by Mei Chaofeng's training grounds. You see, Mei Chaofeng also had enemies, and..."
The swordsman paused for a moment, keeping everyone in suspense, before continuing at the urging of the crowd.
" Mei Chaofeng's the Final Master was none other than the enigmatic and righteous Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi Eastern Heretic."
This statement shocked many people, as very few knew about it; it was truly Jianghu secret.
"The martial arts Mei Chaofeng practiced were stolen from the Eastern Heretic back then, which can be considered a betrayal of her sect. However, I don't know the specifics. Haha, if you're not afraid of death, you can go and ask the Eastern Heretic."
After a great commotion, going to ask Huang Yaoshi was tantamount to courting death.
It is said that Huang Yaoshi has now reached the Master Realm, and his strength is approaching that of the Fire Cloud Evil God. The outcome of the Mount Hua Sword Tournament set by the Fire Cloud Evil God is now very difficult to predict.
Not only Huang Yaoshi, but the other Five Greats have also reached or are about to reach the Master Realm.
This is precisely why people are extremely excited about the upcoming Mount Hua Sword Tournament.
"However, Mei Chaofeng didn't last a single move against the White-Clad Swordsman before being killed with a single sword strike."
"After that, the White-Clad Swordsman went wherever he went, killing bandits and thieves alike. Anyone who dared to provoke him rarely survived."
"You've all heard about Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, haven't you?"
At this point, some people around chuckled, but quickly fell silent.
"Haha, the Iron Palm Gang practiced the Bixie Sword Manual left behind by the Fire Cloud Evil God, greatly increasing their strength, but also making them neither male nor female."
"Men, it's best to keep quiet. Qiu Qianren has long since become a demon, ruthless Emotionless. If he finds out you're speaking ill of him like this, your life will be in danger."
Someone nearby reminded him.
The swordsman laughed nonchalantly, "No need to worry. A few months ago, that Qiu Qianren recklessly challenged the White-Clad Swordsman, and the White-Clad Swordsman chopped off his head in one move. He's probably embroidering for the Yan Wang now."
"Where did you hear that? Is it true?"
"My name is Xu San, the leader of the Beggar Sect' Sect branch in Linshan City."
Everyone suddenly realized that he was a member of the Beggar Sect' Sect, and even a leader of the sect. No wonder he knew so much more than ordinary people.
"Tell me quickly, how did the Lu Family Manor offend the White-Clad Swordsman?" An impatient man, unable to bear the swordsman's repeated boasting, urged him on.
Others nearby chimed in.
"As for the rest, everyone has heard about them, so I won't go into detail. Lu Chengfeng, the head of the Lu Family Manor, is also a disciple of the Eastern Heretic, and he and Mei Chaofeng are fellow disciples. Do you understand now?"
"I see."
"That White-Clad Swordsman's numerous killings have already offended many Jianghu sects. Putting aside others, it seems that this thing will have to fight him sooner or later. I wonder who is stronger."
"Yes, it is said that the White-Clad Swordsman was extremely handsome, but I never expected him to be a demon. Although the Fire Cloud Evil God was ugly, he rarely killed indiscriminately. The Jianghu's current prosperity is largely thanks to the Evil God." The swordsman sighed.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover."
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Guo Jing couldn't help but think of Ling Yi, who had once beaten up his second the Final Master. Ling Yi was also exceptionally handsome and dressed in white.
At that time, Ling Yi had not yet transformed into the Fire Cloud Evil God and was still using his original appearance.
Ling Yi left an indelible impression on Guo Jing and had a significant impact on him.
Compared to the original novel, Guo Jing is much more shrewd and doesn't obey Zhu Cong and others as readily as he did in the original story.
Although Ling Yi prevented him from meeting Ma Yu, he unexpectedly encountered Sang Bobei, who was visiting Temujin and would later become the Golden Wheel Monk.
Sang Bobei was also greatly influenced by Ling Yi. He admired Guo Jing, who, although somewhat dull-witted, had an excellent character, so he passed on the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to Guo Jing.
If it were Sang Bobei's original personality, he would never have done such a thing.
After all, Ling Yi was too generous, Sang Bobei was affected to some extent, which can be considered as being generous to Guo Jing.
What's interesting is that Sang Bobei taught Guo Jing right in front of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan (actually six people, the fifth one, Zhang Asheng by Chen Xuanfeng and never even appeared!).
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan dared not speak out against their anger. Sang Bobei had created a terrifying crater in front of them with a single palm strike to demonstrate the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. Although they were a bit mentally challenged, they wouldn't actually seek death.
After Sang Bobei left, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan began to vent their anger on Guo Jing, especially Ke Zhen'e, who beat Guo Jing for a long time. This made Guo Jing lose much respect for his the Final Master.
Guo Jing may be slow to react, but he's not stupid. His the Final Master ' actions were far too petty.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is very suitable for Guo Jing. In addition, this is a modified version by Ling Yi, which makes the cultivation speed faster. When Guo Jing was seventeen years old, he had already entered the Innate. Now, at the age of twenty-two, he has reached the Innate Ninth Stage, which is not much weaker than the Five Greats after the enhancement.
Because of his status as a disciple of Sang Bobei, Temujin valued Guo Jing highly, and the events described in the original story did not occur.
Compared to the original storyline, Guo Jing left Caoyuan much later.
It was precisely because of these late years that he missed Huang Rong and instead married Hua Zheng, becoming husband and wife.
Now that he has returned to the Central Plains, Guo Jing has only one mission: to find Duan Tiande and avenge his father. However, he happens to arrive just in time for the Mount Hua Sword Tournament.
At that moment, the entire restaurant suddenly fell silent.
At the entrance, a handsome young man dressed in white and holding a long sword slowly walked in.
His face was expressionless, and he exuded a cold Aura that kept strangers at bay.
" The White-Clad Swordsman!" someone couldn't help but whisper, but immediately lowered their head.
Guo Jing was startled; this person was none other than Ling Yi, who had beaten up his second the Final Master years ago.
Ling Yi also spotted Guo Jing. Upon seeing that familiar face, Ling Yi smiled, a rare occurrence for him, and walked straight towards Guo Jing's table.
"Senior!" Guo Jing stood up and bowed slightly to Ling Yi with utmost respect.
"It seems you're still quite fortunate, to have caught that guy's eye. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is indeed very suitable for you to cultivate. You truly deserve to Child of Karmic Luck." Ling Yi sat down, casually placed his longsword aside, and said with a smile.
"Does the senior know the Final Master Sang Bobei?"
"His Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was actually improved by me, don't you think?"
Guo Jing was taken aback at first, then realized, "Then isn't that senior the one who uses fire..."
At this point, Guo Jing suddenly realized that this was probably his senior's secret, and he absolutely must not reveal it and cause trouble for his senior.
