“That’s right…” The middle-aged man nodded slowly. His gaze was gentle as he looked at the old sword immortal calmly.
At this moment, the old sword immortal suddenly felt that the temperament of the person before him seemed to have changed again.
It was still He Sen’s face, but it was no longer the feeling Jiang Yi had just now.
But to the old sword immortal, it was still somewhat familiar.
“Brother Jichong, when I think about the snow on the Plum Ridge, it seems like it was only yesterday, but it has already been more than a thousand years.” “Even Mei Ling has disappeared from the mortal world.” The middle-aged man sighed.
The old sword immortal Yun Jichong took a deep breath and looked at the other party without saying a word.
The scene in front of him seemed to have returned to a thousand years ago, when he was admiring the snow and discussing the Dao with his old friends.
At that time, the figure of the green-robed man gradually overlapped with the figure of He Sen.
Memories and reality seemed to blend together.
However, very few people knew about this matter. The only person alive now should be the old Sword Immortal himself. Even the people in the Heavenly River could not know.
At least, it was impossible for Jiang Yi and He Sen, who were born in the Ancient Gods Clan, to know about it.
“Brother Qingshi…” The old sword immortal seemed to be meeting him for the first time as he sized him up.
“He Sen” smiled and said, ‘”‘1 didn’t want to hide it from you for so many years. Please forgive me.”
“Sometimes, even I am confused about who I am,” he sighed.
The old sword immortal did not speak.
He, who was used to going through storms, was also surprised at this moment.
The “He Sen” in front of him was not Jiang Yi, the leader of the Ancient Gods Clan, but his old friend from more than a thousand years ago, the first master of the Qingyun House, Yang Qingshi?
Something was wrong.
It should be said that the other party was not just Jiang Yi.
It was both Jiang Yi and Yang Qingshi.
Including today’s ” He Sen it was the same person.
The old sword immortal could understand why the other party had questioned why the current Supreme Martial Artist did not recognize him.
This was because Yang Qingshi had met the Supreme Martial Artist a thousand years ago.
The change of soul and the awakening of Su Hui could be hidden from his old friend Yun Jichong, but not from the Supreme Martial Artist.
From the moment the other party met the current Supreme Being of the Dark Grotto-heaven for the first time as Jiang Yi, and the Supreme Being did not reveal his identity as Yang Qingshi in his previous life, Yang Qingshi, or rather, Jiang Yi, must have already been suspicious, right?
Of course, it could also be explained that he was just a small fry in the eyes of the Supreme Martial Artist and did not care.
However, if it was really as he said, and the abnormality of his soul was related to the Netherworld God, or even if he was a Netherworld God, how could the Supreme Martial Artist ignore it?
” You didn’t mix it up at all. You’ve distinguished it very clearly. Let’s not talk about others. At the very least, I’m old and blind. I didn’t see any flaws before. ‘ After a while, the old sword immortal let out a long sigh.”How should I address you now?”
“Brother Chong, please do as you wish. I’m fine with it.” the middle-aged man replied.
“It’s still Mr. Jiang.” “In recent years, they’ve been calling me that.” The old Sword Immortal looked at him.
Alright, I’ll listen to you, Elder Yun.” Jiang Yi smiled slightly, knowing that the old sword immortal still had doubts about him.
However, he did not mind and calmly said, “Elder Yun, please keep this matter a secret for me. On one hand, it is because of the Yuan Demon Sect Returning Stone. On the other hand, it has something to do with the Netherworld supreme-ruler who caused all of this. I have always been cautious, as if I was walking on thin ice. I have my own difficulties.”
“Alright, I promise you.” The old sword immortal nodded and then looked at the other party with a slightly strange gaze.
“Fu Chen, is that you too?” the old man suddenly asked.
“Elder Yun’s eyes are like torches.” Jiang Yi smiled.
Fu Chen, the second master of the Emerald Cloud House, had inherited the mantle of Yang Qingshi, the founder of the sect, and was once a big shot in the mortal world.
However, because Old Man Black Snow wanted to use the Yuan Demon Sect Returning Stone to control him, Fu Chen would rather die than submit and commit suicide.
The Emerald Cloud House, which was originally a holy land along with the Heavenly River, the Ancient Gods Clan, and the Green Bull Temple, gradually declined and disappeared in the long river of history because there were no more top experts to take over.
Fu Chen, like Jiang Yi, had the phenomenon of his Heavenly Soul trembling.
Previously, the old sword immortal had thought that they were people from two different eras and possessed the same rare innate constitution.
But now that Jiang Yi claimed to be Yang Qingshi’s descendant, the old sword immortal immediately connected Fu Chen to him.
They were not two people who had the same innate constitution.
Instead, this special supreme soul was basically the same, reincarnating in the mortal world for generations.
Yang Qingshi, Fu Chen, Jiang Yi, and now He Sen.
Maybe He Sen wasn’t?
Was it a proper reincarnation, or was it a possession every time?
“After Fu Chen and before Jiang Yi, there are still a few hundred years?” The old sword immortal looked at Jiang Yi quietly.
“Yes, I am.” “And Murong Ming.” Jiang Yi smiled.
“I see.” The old Sword Immortal nodded slowly.
The Murong family was the former royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
They had once divided the world into four parts with the Xu family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Li family of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the Cheng family of the Southern Chu Dynasty.
Murong Ming was also known as Emperor Heng of Wei. Although he was not the last Emperor of Wei, he was the last Emperor of Wei in the Supreme Realm.
It was precisely after his mysterious disappearance that his successor was not strong enough that the Northern Wei Dynasty was besieged and annexed by other factions. The country’s strength went from bad to worse until it was completely destroyed.
The old sword immortal estimated the date.
When Murong Ming disappeared, he was about the same age as Jiang Yi.
Not long after Murong Ming disappeared, Jiang Yi was born.
If one were to look back, Murong Ming was born not long after the fall of Fu Chen, the second-generation master of Emerald Cloud House.
The first master of Qingyun House, Yang Qingshi, had died at around the same time as Fu Chen’s birthday.
In terms of time, they all matched.
Speaking of which, before the Emerald Cloud House completely declined, it had been active in the Northern Wei Dynasty for a period of time, and was treated with great respect by the Northern Wei royal family led by Murong Ming.
However …
The old sword immortal frowned and soon noticed a problem.
From his old friend Yang Qingshi, to Fu Chen, to Murong Ming, and then to Jiang Yi, all of them seemed to have short lives.
If Fu Chen had died early because of Old Man Black Snow and the Yuan Demon
Sect Returning Stone, and Jiang Yi had died because of that inexplicable Supreme Martial Artist, then there was a reason for their deaths. However, Yang Qingshi and Murong Ming were both extremely suspicious.
As far as he knew, Jiang Yi’s lifespan in these two lifetimes was only about 360 years, about six sixty years.
To the giants of a region, this could be considered a premature death.
It was fine if it happened once, but if it happened more than once, it was obviously abnormal.
“If it weren’t for the special reason of his sudden death, Fu Chen and…Are you also only around 360 years old?” The old sword immortal looked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi clapped his hands and smiled. ” Elder Yun is right. It’s exactly 360 years.
He looked up at the roof and said leisurely, Although I’ve never tried it before, if I practice martial arts in my lifetime and can’t extend my lifespan without breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm, will I die of old age after
180 years and enter the next reincarnation? But from the looks of it, every time I cultivate to the Martial Honored Realm, I only live for 360 years.
“Back then, I…” Jiang Yi paused for a moment and smiled apologetically at the old sword immortal. .. Back then, when Yang Qingshi was about two hundred and sixty years old, he met that woman. As a result, his soul changed and his
Heavenly Soul trembled. From then on, he had to go through the so-called Soul
Reincarnation Tribulation.”
His eyes were filled with reminiscence. ” Yang Qingshi quickly realized that the other party wasn’t threatening him, so he quickly prepared a way to break it. However, he still couldn’t find a way. The hundred years passed in a flash, and he was about to die. He could only wait for his first tribulation. ‘
“I have to thank Elder Yun and the other old friends for taking care of Qingyun House while Fu Chen was growing up.” Jiang Yi looked at the old sword immortal.
“It was during those hundred years that you founded the Emerald Cloud House.” The old sword immortal sighed, “At that time, you wanted to prepare for your second reincarnation.”
Jiang Yi smiled in agreement.
The old sword immortal fell silent again.
At most, every 360 years, he would have to suffer a death tribulation, and everything would go down the drain, he would have to start all over again.
Yang Qingshi, a Martial Honored Realm expert who had lived for more than 360 years, naturally wanted to get rid of such a life.
However, he could not discuss this matter with the old sword immortal and his old friends.
If what he said was true and his current situation was related to the Netherworld God, then it was hard to predict how the others would react because of the Supreme Being.
On the other hand, if the news was leaked, the reaction of the Netherworld supreme-ruler would also be hard to predict.
Back then, Yang Qingshi was already a Martial Honored Realm expert.
However, he was helpless when his soul was tampered with by the
Netherworld God. One could imagine how powerful the Netherworld supreme-ruler was.
But then again, the current Jiang Yi, the former Yang Qingshi, might be hiding some selfish motives.
This supreme soul reincarnation tribulation made him clean up and reincarnate every 360 years, but every time he reincarnated, he retained the memories of his previous life.
The tenacity of the soul allowed it to survive even after being attacked by a powerful enemy, allowing it to escape with its life and be reborn.
To a certain extent, this could also be considered a form of supreme soul indestructibility.
If he could control it and use it for himself, it might not be a great ability.
The old sword immortal suspected that the other party had even made some gains.
For example, when Jiang Yi died this time, he did not directly enter the cycle of reincarnation to enter the next life. Instead, he was reborn in the body of the target he had prepared in advance.
Or perhaps, Jiang Yi had come into contact with this Netherworld supreme-ruler again, so the Divine Soul Reincarnation Tribulation had changed?
The old Sword Immortal felt so unfamiliar with his old friend.
“I didn’t expect that the Heavenly Soul Tremor would have a fatal flaw. It actually had a nemesis like the Yuan Demon Sect Returning Stone.” Jiang Yi shook his head. ” Therefore, Fu Chen had no choice but to commit suicide. As for Murong Ming, his 360-year lifespan was up, so he could only be reincarnated. Unfortunately, the Northern Wei Dynasty has also lost its incense like the Emerald Cloud House. Although there are some demon descendants left, it is difficult to achieve anything. It is better to embrace a new life and new identity to avoid being killed instead.”
The old sword immortal looked at him and asked slowly, “”Since you’ve already lied to me for so many years, so many lifetimes, why did you suddenly confess today?”
