Chapter 2169 A Leopard Can’t Change It’s Spots

The jade pendant gleamed with enigmatic law power.

This made Lin Xun suddenly feel a strong sense of karma.

After entering the Cyclic Derivation World, he awakened in the body of the country bumpkin Yun Changkong. Lin Xun had merely sought to avenge and seek justice for the body’s original owner out of indignation.

He had no thoughts of trying to benefit from the situation.

Hence, he was surprised to detect law power fluctuations from Yun Changkong’s ancestral jade pendant.

Lin Xun couldn't help but wonder: would he still have obtained this pendant if he had instead acted as a bystander, and ignored the injustice Yun Changkong suffered?

Cause and effect sometimes worked in strange and wondrous ways.

Lin Xun put away the pendant and began his journey back to Yun Changkong's hometown.

A few days later.

Lin Xun arranged for Yun Changkong's mother to stay in a quiet, peaceful house and hired servants to take care of her.

Yun Changkong's mother was a thin, kindly old woman. Despite the markings left by time, one could vaguely see that she was once a beautiful woman in her younger years.

After settling her down, the elderly lady said, "You are not my son, but you are not a bad person since you made arrangements to take care of an old woman like me. Thank you."

Lin Xun was momentarily stunned before he said, "In at most a year, Yun Changkong will be back."

The elderly lady revealed a complicated expression and silently nodded.

When Lin Xun left, he turned to look at the old white-haired woman sitting under the eaves of the courtyard with a peaceful expression. He couldn't help but inwardly sigh and feel that this was a mother who had experienced the ups and downs of life and possessed great wisdom.

Although she was just an ordinary person, she was someone worthy of respect.

In the subsequent period, Lin Xun traveled the world, using the sky as his blanket and the earth as his mat. He lived like an immortal, eating the clouds and drinking dew as he observed the magnificence of the land and pondered over the great truths of nature.

In a blink of an eye, a year had passed.

On this day, he returned to Ning Province and arrived at the place Yun Changkong's mother lived.

As he gazed upon the quiet and peaceful courtyard from afar and recalled the kindly old woman, Lin Xun couldn't help but think of his mother, Luo Qingxun. Where is she now?

A familiar voice sounded, "Mom, it's cold outside, you should go inside and rest."

It was a gentle voice.

Lin Xun frowned. His spirit sense spread out and he ‘saw’ a slender figure sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

She wore a plain dress, a wooden hairpin, and her black hair was tied in a bun. Her appearance was simple and plain, except for her face, which was covered with a veil.

However, Lin Xun still recognized her at a glance. It was Lan Yingxue, the woman whose appearance and cultivation had been destroyed by him!

Yun Changkong's mother was seated under the eaves. She said, "Yingxue, it’s great that you’ve acknowledged your mistakes and changed for the better. Don’t dwell on the past, I will properly talk to Changkong when he returns."

Lan Yingxue shook her head, "Mom, I was wrong but I don’t seek forgiveness. I just want to spend the rest of my life serving you and atone for my sins. Only then...will I feel a little better..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

After her cultivation and appearance were ruined a year ago, her master no longer wished to see her, while her junior brothers and sisters despised her and humiliated her in every manner possible.

Even after she left, people would point at her and ridicule her no matter where she went...

In fact, she had nearly considered committing suicide several times.

"Sigh, don't cry. You're making me want to cry too." Yun Changkong's mother hurriedly tried to comfort her.

"Mom, go rest first. I'll go to the market to buy some pork ribs and make soup for you." Lan Yingxue wiped her tears and turned around to tend to some chores.

While watching, Lin Xun’s deep eyes didn’t ripple in the slightest.

Regardless of whether Lan Yingxue had truly turned over a new leaf and sought to atone for her sins, she was already a cripple who couldn’t cause any waves.

Moreover, he was leaving today.

Once he departed, Yun Changkong's consciousness would awaken again. With the physique and strength of a cultivator’s body, Lan Yingxue wouldn't be his match even if she had evil intentions.

Oh?

While contemplating this, Lin Xun suddenly noticed Lan Yingxue walk out of the courtyard with a basket of vegetables and hurry away.

Lin Xun stealthily followed.

In a shaded area beside a remote creek.

When Lan Yingxue arrived, a figure emerged from behind one of the trees. He was tall and handsome but had a pale complexion. It was none other than Ouyang Qing whose cultivation had been crippled as well.

Lan Yingxue happily said, "The old woman said that she will intercede for me when Yun Changkong returns."

Ouyang Qing coldly snorted, "Now that Yun Changkong has a high level of cultivation, are you thinking that you’ll be able to make use of his connection if you manage to gain his forgiveness?"

"Ouyang Qing, what are you talking about?" Lan Yingxue glared at him and said, "Don't worry. Once I gain Yun Changkong’s trust again, I will definitely find out how he started cultivating."

Ouyang Qing asked, "What if you can’t?"

Lan Yingxue's eyes flashed with resentment, "Then we’ll have to employ more unscrupulous methods!"

Ouyang Qing asked, "Like threatening his mother's life?"

Lan Yingxue suddenly chuckled, "Senior Brother Ouyang still knows me best."

Ouyang Qing also laughed and slapped Lan Yingxue’s butt. His eyes burned with desire as he said, "A loser who didn't know how to cultivate four years ago suddenly acquired such a terrifying level of cultivation. There must be some secret behind this. If you manage to figure out this mystery, perhaps...we can both start cultivating again."

Lan Yingxue's breathing grew heavier.

Restart the path of cultivation!

Such temptation was undoubtedly enough to drive anyone whose cultivation had been destroyed crazy.

In the distance, Lin Xun couldn't help but inwardly sigh. It was indeed true that changing the mountains and rivers were easier than changing one’s nature.

Originally, he thought that Lan Yingxue had finally turned over a new leaf after experiencing the ups and downs of life, but it was now clear that this was completely false.

Lin Xun said, "Lan Yingxue."

Startled, Lan Yingxue and Ouyang Qing shuddered slightly. When they saw Lin Xun in the distance, they were utterly stupefied.

When Lin Xun left, Lan Yingxue and Ouyang Qing had been completely erased from the world.

In the quiet and peaceful courtyard.

Lin Xun murmured, "When you wake up, be filial to your mother and don't let her suffer anymore..."

Without further hesitation, Lin Xun took out the jade pendant.

Omm!

As Lin Xun's power poured into the jade pendant, a strange undulation suddenly engulfed him.

When his vision became clear again, the familiar river of time appeared once more, its snowy waves endlessly rolling forward.

Next, nine battles took place one after another.

After defeating the final opponent, Lin Xun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It was because the one ranked first in terms of Cyclic Derivation Stage combat power in all of history was his second senior brother who was proud to the core, a young Zhong Qiu!

"Second senior brother, second senior brother, let’s see if you can still be so proud the next time we meet..." Lin Xun felt strangely happy.

After all, his second senior brother was simply too proud!

Lin Xun has always wondered what his second senior brother’s expression would look like when he one day obtained power beyond him.

"With your strength, you are now history’s strongest in the Cyclic Derivation Stage."

The law power figure appeared again and confirmed in a single sentence that Lin Xun possessed unrivaled combat power in the Cyclic Derivation Realm throughout all of history.

At this juncture, Lin Xun had conquered the five realms of True Martial, Spirit Dipper, Spirit Sea, Heaven Ascension, and Cyclic Derivation.

In summary, he was invincible in the Five Lesser Cultivation Realms!

The law power figure spoke, "Enter this door and you will enter the King World."

This time, Lin Xun hesitated.

Back then, he attained enlightenment in the Supreme Realm, became a supreme King expert, and eventually topped the Genius Gold Rankings, becoming the top supreme King cultivator in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

In light of these circumstances, there seemed to be no need to rebuild it.

Moreover, he estimated that about five years had passed since entering the reincarnation of the worlds of the Lesser Five Realms.

Lin Xun asked, "Where will I be sent if I leave now?"

He frankly didn’t expect to get a reply. Unexpectedly, however, the law power figure said, "With your combat power, you may enter the Great Wall of Thousand Daos to prove your Emperor Nirvana path."

The answer shook Lin Xun.

The Great Wall of Thousand Daos!

More importantly, the law power figure from Nirvana of Transcendence thought that he had the power to prove his Emperor path?

Lin Xun took a deep breath and asked, "Given my current supreme King combat power, can I be considered invincible throughout all of history?"

"No."

The simple one-word reply left Lin Xun stunned and a sliver of something bitter rose in his heart.

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he could not tolerate such a situation.

After some contemplation, Lin Xun walked into the portal leading to the King World without hesitation.

......

The King Stage was also known as the Realm of Life and Death. By seeing through life and death, one may step onto the path to immortality.

To enter the King Stage was to embark on the path to immortality, to make one’s spirit become a lamp that could shine forever.

The King World.

After Lin Xun awakened, he spent a month reviewing his experiences and achievements on the path to immortality, and finally arrived at a cruel answer.

While he might have been invincible in the Supreme Realm back then and was the number one King expert in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it seemed that he was not considered truly ‘invincible throughout all of history’ if placed in the long river of time.

The reason being that although his cultivation had reached an unprecedented level in the Supreme King Stage, his path was forged from the inheritances left by his predecessors, which imperceptibly affected his attainments.

Like the phrase ‘learn from the past to build the future,’ he had only ‘learned from the past’ but had failed to ‘build the future.’

After arriving at this conclusion, Lin Xun couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had not exited the cycle of reincarnation and instead chose to enter the King World.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to discover the ‘flaws’ in his path to immortality.

In the following period of time, Lin Xun resolutely abandoned his previous cultivation. With the Great Dao Furnace Art as his foundation, various supreme dao scriptures as reference, and his past cultivation experiences as a guide, he rebuilt his path to immortality.

Two years later, he reached the perfect ninth longevity tribulation stage.

On this day, Lin Xun left for King's Canyon, which was regarded as the holy land in the hearts of every King expert in the world.
