Chapter 607 Extra: When I Was Thousands of Times 2
"Why?"
"Why did the historical trend of this life return again?"
Qiao Sidao woke up from the darkness again, and his head was splitting.
But he didn't care about many things, just too many doubts in his heart, constantly recalling and comparing the experiences of the previous two lives.
As a small person, being swept up by the general trend can be said to be helpless.
It is difficult for him to know the whole picture of worldly affairs.
However, he knows some nodes that are important enough to change the direction of history.
After comparing one by one, Qiao Sidao found that the world without the appearance of [Wu] of the Creation Sect was in line with the history in his memory: the immortal master passed on the law and ignited the fire of the new law. Destroyed the decadent ten sects of the immortal way, and created the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that ruled the Xuanhuang Realm for ten thousand years.
So, [Wu] is the anomaly?
Without Wu, everything will return to the right track?
After a long period of thinking, Qiao Sidao finally came up with a seemingly reasonable explanation.
"So, in this life, I should first go to the Creation Sect to find out whether there is a person named [Wu] before making a decision?"
"But the Creation Sect is one of the ten sects of the Immortal Path, and I am just an outer disciple of a minor sect. They are completely different worlds, how can I get the news?"
"Such secrets are obviously not something that my current body can know. If someone with ulterior motives sees it, it is possible that my soul will be searched and my spirit will be exposed, and my ability to be reborn continuously will be exposed."
...
Qiao Sidao is meticulous and familiar with the various methods mastered by immortal cultivators.
Naturally, he has many concerns.
Fortunately, he will not have to worry about this soon.
Because, after he absorbed the memory of the body he occupied, Qiao Sidao was shocked to find that the era in this life was not the time when the new law was first established.
It was a strange and extraordinary period that he had never heard of.
Between heaven and earth, there is a restriction that the law cannot be practiced together. The sect is extinct, and there is only one cultivator left.
The surviving monks were all alone, walking alone between heaven and earth.
They would not trust anyone else, and struggled hard to survive in the wilderness.
Qiao Sidao didn't know what happened back then.
And the reason why he was constantly reborn and experienced different worlds each time was even more confusing.
Qiao Sidao had to carefully ensure his survival first, and then explore the ruins of various sects that were full of dangers, trying to piece together and restore the truth of history.
It took more than ten years for Qiao Sidao to finally figure out what happened back then.
The deviation of the historical trajectory occurred in the era of fierce confrontation between the new and old laws.
In this world line, the vitality of those sects was unexpectedly tenacious.
Not only did they resist countless new law armies, they even reformed themselves and began to practice new laws internally.
Without the advantage of practice speed, whether it was skills, magic weapons, or magical powers, the new law monks were undoubtedly far behind.
Only relying on the absolute number of monks could they barely remain undefeated.
The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted for decades.
During this period, in order to achieve the final victory of the war, both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao did almost everything they could.
Large numbers of mortals were forcibly recruited and given the method of cultivating immortals.
After a short training, they were forced to go to the battlefield.
With various restrictions on their bodies, they had to fight hard for their lives.
It is said that blood flowed all over every inch of land in the Xuanhuang Realm. Even on the wasteland today, Qiao Sidao can still vaguely see the traces left by the tragic war.
Both sides continued to invest in immortal soldiers without restraint, and competed frantically to plunder the sky and the earth.
One day, a sudden change came.
That was the terrible curse that the law could not be practiced together.
All those who practiced the same method lost their minds in an instant and regarded each other as enemies who would never stop until they died.
You know, in order to improve the combat power as quickly as possible, whether it is the Ten Thousand Immortals League or the Ten Sects of the Immortal Way, the most numerous immortal cultivators and soldiers all practice the same specially improved method.
Therefore, when the catastrophe came, the entire Xuanhuang Realm fell into chaos of fighting each other in an instant.
This is true for the lower level and the upper level.
The Ten Sects of the Immortal Way pay attention to the inheritance of the sect. There are countless people who practice the same method. At this moment, in front of the catastrophe, those elders who have been hiding from the world also wielded their butcher knives against the disciples in the sect.
The Ten Thousand Immortals League pays attention to mutual help. Everyone regards the transmission of the law as a teacher, and they are basically scattered cultivators. In order to defeat the ancient sects that have been passed down for ten thousand years, it is necessary to gather the wisdom of the vast majority of cultivators and continuously deduce and perfect a perfect universal method that can be used by the vast majority of cultivators in the league. The existence of this method, called "Tianluo Divine Art", was originally the foundation of the unity and mutual assistance of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, but now it has become a terrible death warrant.
That was a dark time that even later generations would find horrifying.
The outcome of the war was that both sides were destroyed, and the Xuanhuang Realm was left with a white land.
Thousands of years later, the mortals who survived by chance found the remaining immortal cultivation books in the ruins and restarted the immortal cultivation civilization.
However, the final fate of the leaders of the ten sects of the Chuanfa and Xiandao, the top masters of the Xuanhuang Realm, is unknown.
Qiao Sidao spent the rest of his life going deep into various ruins, trying to find the remaining clues of them.
Finally, one time, he was unfortunately injured by the mechanical prohibition and died with regret.
When he woke up again, the first thing he did was to check the memory of this body.
As he expected, the world changed again this time.
A terrible epidemic was born in the world, relying on spiritual energy to spread. After the cultivators were infected, they were like ordinary people infected with the plague.
No matter what panacea or supernatural power you have, you can't cure it.
Although this disease is not fatal, the impact on the cultivators is obvious.
As long as the spiritual energy is circulated violently, you will cough involuntarily.
If you still force the circulation regardless of physical discomfort, there is even a risk of fainting from coughing.
This disease has been circulating in the world for more than ten years, and there is almost no fighting in the Xuanhuang Realm.
It's not that the originally competitive cultivators have all changed their temperaments. It's that their physical functions are constantly declining in a subtle way.
There have even been outrageous incidents where Jindan cultivators broke their legs while walking, and Yuanying cultivators flew in the air and couldn't withstand the high-speed circulation of spiritual energy in their bodies, and fainted and fell from a high altitude.
Qiao Sidao's current body of a Jindan cultivator, in his perception, is not even as strong as the ordinary Qi-refining cultivators in his memory.
Qiao Sidao has lived for sixty years in this life. At the end of his life, because of the existence of this epidemic, the cultivators have been weakened to the extreme.
The powerful warriors with vigorous blood in the mortal world are enough to kill the Hedao cultivators.
When the immortal road ends, the martial arts will flourish.
Therefore, the practitioners who are lingering on call this disease as [Dead Immortal].
In the next life, Qiao Sidao returned to the time when the new and old laws were in opposition.
But in this world, war is no longer the focus.
When the battle between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao was at its fiercest, a virtual shadow of a ruin suddenly appeared above the sky.
A figure stood in it, seemingly staring quietly at the creatures of the Xuanhuang Realm below.
The whole world suddenly shook and swayed slightly.
Such a strange scene naturally attracted the attention of the cultivators. The two sides decided to temporarily cease fire and figure out the situation of the phantom in the sky first.
After some research, the Ten Thousand Years Alliance and the Ten Sects of the Immortal Path came to the same conclusion.
The ruins shown in the sky are located above the Xuanhuang Realm. It seems to have a very strong attraction, even the weight of the whole world is difficult to resist.
The shaking that the monks felt not long ago was a sign that the Xuanhuang Realm had begun to be attracted upwards.
After calculation, at most a hundred years, the Xuanhuang Realm will fall into ruins.
And by then, all the monks in the realm will not be able to escape death!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
In the face of survival, the war is naturally put on hold.
The Five Elders Association and the Ten Sects of the Immortal Path joined hands for the first time and began to seek a solution.
In the end, a plan called [Reverse Xuanhuang] was passed.
All resources should be used to build tens of thousands of obelisks on the land of the Xuanhuang Realm.
With the thrust of the obelisk, the entire Xuanhuang Realm will be pushed in the opposite direction, away from the ruins in the sky.
In general, this plan should be fine.
Especially when the first obelisk was completed, it did slightly delay the "rise" of the Xuanhuang Realm, and the feasibility of [Reversing Xuanhuang] was confirmed.
But it was too optimistic about human nature.
The monks were used to fighting each other, so how could they really unite?
In just ten years, the fragile alliance had disappeared. The Xuanhuang Realm fell into unprecedented chaos.
Because the project of building tens of thousands of obelisks was too huge, every monk was required to contribute.
Over time, those monks who were free by nature became a little unhappy.
Rumors began to spread slowly, saying that the phantom in the sky was just a conspiracy from beginning to end.
It was just a lie made up by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association to enslave all the monks.
Even those obelisks were part of a terrible formation.
On the day the formation was completed, a restriction to dominate the soul would be planted in the sea of consciousness of all monks.
The numerous cultivators in Xuanhuang Realm will completely become slaves of certain people.
Although the rumors were quickly suppressed, the doubts in the hearts of the cultivators could not be eliminated.
Instead, they believed in these conspiracies.
The implementation of the [Reverse Xuanhuang] plan was difficult, and at this time, rumors were exposed that a certain place forced cultivators to build obelisks by controlling souls.
This seemed to be another proof of the conspiracy.
A trend of resistance began to emerge in various parts of Xuanhuang Realm, and it became more and more intense.
And the occurrence of one thing made the situation completely out of control.
One night, a dazzling white light suddenly came from the direction of Tianjian Sect.
It almost illuminated the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
The cultivators could vaguely see that a huge sword rose from the ground and pierced the sky.
As the shadow of the ruins in the sky twisted, a black hole was created in the air.
The next second, in the attention of all the cultivators in the world, the giant sword disappeared without a trace.
Darkness descended on the world again, and the cultivators were a little confused at first.
But how could such a thing be concealed? Soon, everyone reacted.
The Heaven Sword Sect, one of the ten sects of the Immortal Path, secretly created a [World-Splitting Divine Weapon], pierced through the void, and ran away directly!
"Traitor!"
"Shameful!"
For a while, the sound of abuse was endless. But it also made the cultivators doubt, could it be that the ruins in the sky really exist?
In this state of uncertainty, the unrest in various places subsided, and the monks began to actively build obelisks.
But...
Soon, they realized something was wrong.
The frequency of orders from the top leaders of the Ten Immortal Sects and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance became lower and lower.
For a long time, they had not seen any important monks in person.
In panic, they went to the headquarters of the Ten Immortal Sects. Only then did they find that the place was already deserted!
They only relied on the formation to give them orders every once in a while!
The monks who felt played and abandoned had endless anger in their hearts, but they could not find anyone to vent.
They could only blame the monks who spread the rumors at the beginning. But in fact, they also fueled the rumors at the beginning.
Who can they blame now?
The upper echelons of the Xuanhuang Realm ran away collectively, and did not even leave the method of how to drive the obelisk.
The monks who could only sit and wait for death watched the image of the ruins in the sky grow bigger and bigger.
Slowly fell into madness in despair.
The killing began.
Facing this farce, Qiao Sidao always watched coldly.
When the Xuanhuang Realm was shaking and slowly disintegrating. He also ended his life in this world.
Next, Qiao Sidao, who was constantly reborn, experienced all kinds of mysterious worlds.
For example: there was no Wanxian League, nor the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao. The one who unified the Xuanhuang Realm was a great celestial master. Everyone, since birth, must start practicing specific exercises. Use the cultivation generated by the exercises to exchange for resources necessary for survival.
Another example: [Xianwang] covers the world, and every move of the cultivator is monitored by it. But in the same way, every cultivator can earn contribution points through the Xianwang and exchange for various exercises and magic weapons. You can also go to conquer other Xiuxian worlds through the Xianwang and obtain a lot of merit.
...
Qiao Sidao's talent is mediocre. In every life, even if he tries his best to live.
But he is just an ordinary member of ordinary beings. He has not left his own traces in history. Every time he is born and dies in an ordinary way.
In this way, he was reborn countless times.
He finally experienced the same world again.
It was the timeline where he first awakened.
An inner disciple of the Seven Stars Sect.
Tianzun Yu Congyunze passed on the law.
However, Qiao Sidao, who had seen countless destructions and rises and falls, had already vaguely guessed his current situation.
So he did not do anything particularly extraordinary, just as it was, like an outsider.
Silently observing the changes in the world.
This time, there was no appearance of the Creation Sect [Wu]. The Immortal Master of the Law also successfully completed the law transmission.
However, as soon as the new law was spread, the ten sects of the immortal way attached great importance to it and issued a must-kill order.
They regarded the new law as a heresy, and anyone who practiced it would be killed without mercy.
It is said that this edict came from the Great Dao Sect [Zhi].
So, the new law died halfway before it began its grand cause.
Even the Immortal Master of the Law himself died tragically in the heavy pursuit.
Qiao Sidao, who saw all this, seemed to understand something.
Next, thousands of reincarnations.
In this world, Qiao Sidao never saw [Zhi] again.
"So, it's for these people?"
In this world, most people are ordinary.
But there are always some people with extraordinary talents.
They can even change the course of history with their own talents.
For example, relying on his own strength, he researched [Medicine] that completely solved the disease of dead immortals.
For example, after the ten sects of the immortal way and the Ten Thousand Immortals League abandoned all the cultivators, he stood up to turn the tide and reunite everyone.
Finally, he restarted the reversal plan of Xuanhuang and saved the whole world [Xianhuang Emperor].
...
In countless reincarnations, Qiao Sidao watched these geniuses appear and disappear.
His heart slowly turned cold.
He had already realized the truth of the world he was in.
The different evolutionary worlds were just to select those peerless talents.
And the rest of the sentient beings in the world were just like background guests.
But...
What happened to me?
Why can I always keep my own memory in reincarnation after reincarnation?
Qiao Sidao didn't know the reason.
But he understood that this was the only way for him to escape from this [false world].
I will finish writing this extra chapter tomorrow and update it normally.
