Being knocked down by the Heavenly Dao while ascending

"Why is there no room again? There was no one at the inn in Qingxi Town before I went into seclusion!"
"You have been in seclusion for at least three years, right?"

"You know all this?! Are you also a disciple of the Mei family?"
"How dare I! If you ask anyone on the street, everyone will tell you the answer."

"How do you say that?"

"Three years ago, after Mei Shanxue, the eldest son of the Mei family, settled in Yingshan, Qingxi Town at the foot of the mountain has changed! Every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and it is hard to find a place!"

"Could it be that some kind of natural treasure has appeared here?"

"What kind of natural treasures can compare to Master Mei's? Most natural treasures belong to one person, but Master Mei's kindness benefits millions of people. Look at the people in Qingxi Town now. Who didn't come here for this little bit of good fortune?"

"Gan Lin? What's going on? Could it be that Young Master Mei has transformed himself into a rare talent? I've never heard of the Mei family having such a cultivation method!"

"This is a long story. In short, this Master Mei is about to ascend to heaven again!"

"Ascend? Don't be ridiculous. No one has ascended in hundreds of years. I have only been in seclusion for more than 20 years. How can a genius ascend in 20 years?"

"Do you think this scene is a lie? All the big shots from all over the world, from the three mountains to the fourteen sects, have gone to Yingshan! If you don't believe me, go to the foot of Yingshan and take a look yourself!"

"... Is Master Mei really that powerful?"

"Alas! It's a good thing you were in seclusion nearby, otherwise I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to squeeze in even in Qingxi Town! Take your seclusion for example, for example, these past few years, especially the past two years. Didn't you feel that your cultivation would increase dramatically at a certain point in time?"

"That's true. Isn't this the result of my sudden enlightenment? What does this have to do with Mr. Mei..."

"Forget it, forget it. You'll know later."

The few of them were able to maintain a certain distance from each other when they were talking, but by this point they were almost standing shoulder to shoulder and back to back.
Looking around, the roofs, the sky, and the ground of Qingxi Town were all filled with people, without even a crack. If a stick fell from the sky, it would surely injure everyone.

Yingshan in the distance is not much better than Qingxi Town.
Yingshan is a snowy mountain where snow falls all year round. At this moment, there is not a single speck of white snow at the foot of the mountain. Disciples from various schools and sects are scattered on the mountain, decorating Yingshan like a piece of flowered cloth.

The "flowered cloth" is abruptly cut off by a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, revealing Yingshan's original appearance.
A plaque hangs above the gate of the courtyard, with the words "Ban Shan Ju Wu" inscribed on it. On the green tiles of the wall, a few red plum branches rest, giving a sense of peace and leisure.

The sky suddenly darkened and was covered with dark clouds.
Suddenly, the sun broke through the clouds, and the dazzling light enveloped the entire Yingshan Mountain. In the blink of an eye, the sky was dyed with colors and colorful clouds were everywhere.
A beam of golden light descended from the sky, piercing through the vast sky and shining into the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

The rosy clouds surged, mixed with bursts of lightning and thunder, as if they were leaping for joy, yet also carrying a thousand kinds of shock.

In the small courtyard.
The eldest son of the Mei family pushed open the small window, stared directly at the dazzling white light, and murmured: "Open the snow eyes, the heavy snow falls, and the sky is bright. I am finally... going to ascend again."

The golden light reflected on his face, making his already handsome features even more beautiful.

He realized that he was being reborn. Every blade of grass and tree on the mountain, every person and thing below the mountain were reflected in his eyes.
His body was so light that one could not feel the existence of his shell, and he seemed to have become one with the air.

His consciousness became blurred, and he seemed to have been floating for a long time, so long that he forgot everything.
A sudden voice woke him up.

"You shouldn't be here yet."

His hazy mind suddenly became clear.
That voice was none other than the law of nature in this world. "You can only die for Fang Qing, go back." the voice said again.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His body suddenly became stiff and heavy as if it had been quickly frozen. He fell vertically and made a hole in the ground, as if he had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell.

Pain! Crunchy pain! Endless pain! His heart shrank into a ball and then exploded into mud in an instant. The dense and expanding pain almost made him die.
He instinctively opened his mouth to scream, but suddenly found that he was suffocating and couldn't make any sound.

Above Yingshan Mountain, the colorful clouds faded, and lightning flashed down like a hole in the sky, dyeing the sky blue and black.
In the blink of an eye, lightning comes and disappears just as quickly.
A soft and fine drizzle floated down, bringing with it a hint of golden light. At this time, the disciples from various sects scattered across Yingshan sat down one after another, trying to comprehend the lingering charm of the already vanished laws of heaven, and also to absorb the cultivation contained in the sweet golden light.

On the top of the mountain, the two elders of the Mei family looked on from afar with worried faces.
"Shan Xue has failed after all. Will he be able to succeed next year?"
"Oh, I hope we can...wait till next year."
.
The eldest son of the Mei family felt that the matter was a bit serious.
Based on his previous two failed experiences of ascension, he would wake up immediately after the severe pain.
But now, not only did he not wake up, his soul and body were separated.

The terrible thing was that the separated soul was not only out of his control, but also went straight to the back mountain of Yingshan and stopped on a huge rock.
Behind the boulder is a cliff that is bottomless.

What was even more coincidental was that at this moment, a figure fell from the sky, hit the boulder heavily, and was bounced away.
She was a seriously injured woman.
The woman stood up with the help of the boulder, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked stubborn, and said nothing.

The eldest son of the Mei family: "..."
This guy can even hit Fang Qing?!
It turns out that God just wants him to die.

A group of people chased down from the sky and landed gracefully.
The leader said, "Fang Qing, hand over the things."

Fang Qing took a breath and said, "I have never been to Yongshan Academy, let alone taken anything from you!"

A small man jumped out from the crowd, "It was just you and that traitor at the time. He died in your hands, and the spiritual herb is not with you, so where else can he go?"

"You should ask the grass instead of asking me." Fang Qing retorted coldly, "My answer is the same as always, I didn't take anything. No matter how many times you ask, my answer is only this."

"I don't want to kill anyone."
The leading man closed his eyes and said, "You, choose a way to die."

Fang Qing clenched his fingertips and looked down at the cliff behind him.

At this moment, a ray of light shot out from the attic of the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, tightly covering the area where the boulder was.

This change attracted the attention of both parties in the stalemate. Fortunately, both sides did not seem to care about it. They glanced at the boulder and then looked away.

The eldest son of the Mei family breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to get involved in anything!
Feeling the connection between his body and soul, he followed the call of his body and was about to go back.

however!
The soul summoning technique not only brought the boulder, but also brought Fang Qing who was beside the boulder - the heroine of the book he traveled through.
And he is not the male protagonist, but the tragic second male protagonist who sacrificed his life for the female protagonist.
