I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 3 Beyond the Two Realms, Dark Moon Gate

Bai Xuan.

A native of Luzhou, 23 years old, a student (past tense).

I graduated from university last year and am currently a freelancer, also known as a social idler or a reserve civil servant.

At the age of eighteen, he solved the mystery of the womb and completed the unification of the memories and personality of past and present lives.

In his previous life, Bai Xuan died by luck. He was only 27 years old at that time and was a social animal who had just entered the workplace for a few years.

The two worlds are similar but not the same. They have many similarities, but also many differences.

parallel world.

Allotropy.

Undecided in times of trouble.

Quantum mechanics.

Any explanation is fine, after all, reincarnation and rebirth are inherently unscientific.

At that time, Bai Xuan had considered whether he should work harder and live a more decent life.

Although he would not be so arrogant as to copy "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" or "Inscription on the Yueyang Tower" during the college entrance examination, it would not be difficult for him to be a plagiarist in any entertainment-related field.

However, he soon lost interest in how to become a pig in the wind.

Because along with the solution of the mystery in the womb comes a door.

Even Bai Xuan himself didn't know the origin of this door, at least he had never seen it in his previous life.

The door was pitch black and no one else could see it except Bai Xuan.

At first he thought it was just an illusion, but it was indeed touchable and felt very similar to water.

Driven by curiosity, Bai Xuan finally pushed open the door.

Then he traveled through time and space to another world.

This is a door to another world.

Because its shape resembles a well and an incomplete dark moon is reflected in it, Bai Xuan calls it the 'Dark Moon Boundary Gate'.

When he traveled through time for the first time, Bai Xuan stayed in the other world for about an hour to confirm that he was not dreaming.

After having such a big toy, Bai Xuan's interest and hobby quickly shifted to this aspect, and he began to study the related functions of this door at the age of eighteen.

After verifying it ten times, he finally came up with the relevant rules about the 'Dark Moon Gate'.

[1. The speed of time in the two worlds is not equal. No matter how long it takes to travel to the other world, the time in the real world will not exceed one day, and vice versa.]

The first rule is particularly important. Bai Xuan has verified it more than ten times, which took a year. He recorded the time of each time he crossed for comparison.

The final conclusion is that 'once you stay in another world for more than twenty-four days, the time in the real world will only pass for a maximum of twenty-four hours and will not continue to increase, and vice versa'.

The longest time he stayed in the other world was nine hundred and seven days. After returning, the real world only experienced a time change of twenty-four hours.

[2. It's not the body that crosses the Darkmoon Portal, but the consciousness. Therefore, no items can be carried across, nor can they be taken back.]

Once you cross the Darkmoon Gate, your body will be forced into a deep sleep.

When you are active in another world, you are not using your own body.

Bai Xuan had already realized this second rule when he first traveled through time.

Because he was only a child of more than 200 months at the time, the object he turned into after crossing the Dark Moon Gate for the first time was not a human being at all, but a mountain cheetah.

The experience of transforming from a human into a wild animal is quite unique, but also quite uncomfortable.

Especially since the cheetah was already quite old and frail at the time.

Eighteen-year-old young people are full of energy and suddenly become long-lived animals. All kinds of joint pains come, and naturally they can't endure it for too long.

Fortunately, Bai Xuan solved the relevant problem once and for all when he crossed the Dark Moon Gate for the third time, and also tried out the third rule.

[3. After the body in the other world dies, the soul consciousness will return to the real world]

Old cheetahs are already physically weak.

In addition, Bai Xuan was still trying hard to tame the cheetah's limbs and tail, and his confused appearance completely became a performance in the eyes of the hunter.

With a simple ground spike trap and a bow and arrow, Bai Xuan lost his first life on the spot.

The first drop of blood was paid.

Although the near-death experience was not a good one, I came to a very important conclusion.

No matter how you die in the other world, it is not your own life that is consumed.

In other words, Bai Xuan was originally an alien demon in the other world. Because it was a body forcibly requisitioned, even if he died, it would not harm him.

But this naturally leads to the fourth rule.

[4. Once the body dies, a new body will be obtained during the next time you travel through time]

So when Bai Xuan traveled through time for the fourth time, he obtained the body of a fisherman...

Caught fish.

...Well, it even went back several levels on the food chain.

Originally, Bai Xuan thought that this time he would die and that would be the end of it. At worst, he would give his life to you, and when we get to the table, you would have to praise me for being so delicious!
Turns out I was lucky.

Because this fish looked very good, with a red tail and golden scales, it was given to a nobleman as a symbol of good fortune and was raised in the lake.

On weekdays, Bai Xuan had nothing to do after traveling through time. Anyway, someone fed him and he had no worries about food and drink, so he just leaned by the water and listened to people talking.

Some people like to chat while feeding fish or fishing, and what they say are often important things that contain a lot of information.

Through this surviving experience, Bai Xuan also learned some information about the other world from various people in the Liu family.

This alien world is obviously not an ordinary ancient feudal dynasty.

There are some weird and supernatural things happening here.

Although they had only heard about it, quite a few of these people mentioned "true cultivation", and they spoke with great certainty and certainty.

This made Bai Xuan quite interested. If this really was a world with gods, demons and monsters, who would be willing to continue being a koi?

So he found a good day and feasted on his colleagues... and ended up starving to death.

Change number!

Then, after wandering for several times and wasting several lives, he finally got a chance to start a new life when he crossed the Dark Moon Gate for the eighth time.

And learned the fifth rule.

[5. Animals are not yet intelligent, so it is very easy for their consciousness to be overwritten. However, this is not the case with humans. They are almost always reborn from a dead body. The original owner of the body is already dead.]

This time, after Bai Xuan traveled through time, he entered the body of a gangster. He died of drunkenness on the roadside after drinking too much.

Bai Xuan naturally would not give up this hard-won opportunity.

Find the right opportunity to understand the relevant issues of this world.

And he soon learned where he was at the time...it was a county next to the capital of Zhao State.

The drama of the era was called the Spring and Autumn War.

It is quite similar to China in history.

But there are also many differences.

Because the world's productivity level is a bit too high no matter how you look at it.

When Bai Xuan first saw the handmade wooden siege puppet that was as tall as three stories, he was completely stunned.

Bush Gomen? You call that mechanical engineering?
Why does it look so much like the Invincible Iron Bull!
It should be written as 'Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period' and read as 'Qin Shi Ming Yue', right?
Bai Xuan's life cycle this time was also very short, only three months, and his luck was not very good.

As the war with Chu broke out, he was quickly drafted into the army. However, because his body was too weak, he was killed by a captain of the enemy in the first battle.

But his death was not unjust.

The opponent swung his sword, and the sword energy was three meters away, killing him and the surrounding soldiers instantly.

Bai Xuan still believes that he died in a very handsome way with that knife.

……

After pouring a cup of cold tea, the young man opened the curtains to let the sunlight in. The sunlight at one o'clock in the afternoon was just right, and it sprinkled on the body, making people feel lazy.

At this moment, he felt like he had finally finished a very difficult game. He didn't want to do anything else. He just wanted to sit here quietly, enjoy the aftertaste, and slowly savor the experience.

At the same time, make a summary of your life.

"I lived a long enough life, actually reaching my thirties, and yet I died in vain."

"I've done everything I needed to do, and I really don't have any regrets."

"It's a pity that the last game was not a good one."

"Having the dragon vein in hand actually erodes the foundation of being a land immortal."

"Even if he is a banished immortal, the fortune of a country is both a gift and a poison to true cultivators."

"Juan Zhihuan's progress is faster than expected... I underestimated this second lady."

Bai Xuan looked out the window and talked to himself.

In the eyes of others, it is naturally impossible to know what kind of experience and gains Bai Xuan has gained.

To Bai Xuan, those people, events, and things were both real and like a dream that could not be verified.

After all, these are stories that take place in another world and have nothing to do with China in the real world.

In another world, you can call the wind and rain, drive thunder and lightning, but here you have to be a law-abiding citizen.

Of course there is a sense of gap from being a land immortal to being an ordinary person.

But it's not that strong.

Just treat it as a dream, I was still very moved when I woke up.

Look at things on both sides separately, so that you can live more freely.

"It's finally over, it's time to let it go..."

He stood by the window, looking at the scene of spring flowers blooming.

The evil spirit of life-and-death battles, the bloody atmosphere of the massacre of the Qin Imperial City, and the vicissitudes of life and death through the changing times are all dissipating bit by bit.

It's like bleaching yourself little by little in the sun.

The peerless swordsman gradually shed his pride and coldness, cast aside all the burdens of responsibility, gave up his astonishing cultivation, and gradually returned to being a normal and ordinary citizen.

In the concept of true cultivation, this is called regaining one's original heart.

The hardest thing to do in life is to forget and let go.

But those were not difficult tasks for Bai Xuan.

The title of being the best in the world is so important that he can take it up when he wants to and put it down when he wants to.

At least in terms of cultivating his state of mind, he has already reached a level that others cannot reach in several lifetimes.

It can be said that one's thoughts are clear and one can do whatever he wants without breaking the rules.

He let out a small breath.

"I want to buy some sweet osmanthus flowers to carry with me to the wine, but it doesn't taste like..."

He interrupted himself halfway through his speech and shook his head in denial.

"No, that's not right. This poem doesn't quite fit the current situation."

He stroked his chin and repeated it to himself.

"Why should the spring breeze pity the flowers?"

"Still a young man in the world."
