Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

The handsome young man slowly turned around, put one hand behind his back, looked at Lin Che in front of him, and revealed a meaningful smile.

"The fact that you were able to come here shows that we are quite destined to meet."

Lin Che cupped his hands slightly and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

"I can't remember." The handsome young man shook his head and said with a hint of melancholy, "I can only say that the Mirror of Reincarnation is not fake. Everything you saw is real."

Upon hearing this, Lin Che stopped what he was doing. If what the Dao Ancestor said was true, then the handsome young man in front of him was his past life.

Logically, shouldn't I be from another world? Why do I have my own past life in this world?
Dao Zu seemed to see the doubt in Lin Che's heart. He turned around, sat down in a chair, shrugged, and smiled, "I know you don't want to believe it, but it is an indisputable fact."

“I am your past life. I am the Samsara Mirror and a top-tier Nirvana magic treasure that I left behind. Although it is the most worthless magic treasure, it is still a rare find for low-level cultivators.”

The Dao Ancestor leaned back in his chair, swirling the teacup in his hand. He took a sip and said softly, "It is indeed somewhat sad to be able to meet the future generations. After all, other powerful beings always use clones to travel throughout the entire Reverse Dust Realm, while I can only stay here and wait for the future generations to appear."

Lin Che raised an eyebrow, not immediately believing the other party.

Years of cultivation have instilled in him a sense of vigilance. No matter when or where, he must be wary of such a powerful figure to avoid being directly possessed by him due to his own complacency.

Back then, Situ Nan wanted to possess Wang Lin's body. If Wang Lin hadn't been a useless person with no spiritual power, he probably would have become Situ Nan's sacrifice.

There will be no further developments.

Dao Zu also saw Lin Che's apprehension and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you don't need to be so nervous. I won't attack you, and I can't possess anyone else right now either."

"My true self is merely a remnant of my soul from back then, and cannot pose a threat to anyone. In fact, it is impossible for anyone to possess my body."

Dao Ancestor instantly appeared in front of Lin Che. With a slight movement of his fingers, a ball of golden light flew out from between Lin Che's eyebrows and was then grasped in Dao Ancestor's hand.

"Six-star ancient god body, seven-color extreme realm, killing god intent, annihilation intent, and immortal essence, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to not have eliminated your intent in the Ascension Pool."

"Immortal essence and artistic conception appearing in one person's body at the same time, tsk tsk tsk, strange, really too strange."

Dao Zu was equally curious, not understanding how Lin Che had managed to possess such an ability.

Throughout history, no matter which world it is in, or even the immortals and ancient races in the Reverse Dust Realm, it is absolutely impossible to do this.

Possessing immortal essence and dissolving one's own mental state is an unchanging law, yet Lin Che is able to achieve both, which caused the Dao Ancestor to show a strange expression.

Lin Che did not answer. After all, this was all thanks to the system. Without the system, it would be difficult to have the best of both worlds.

Dao Ancestor returned the ball of light to Lin Che, put one hand behind his back, raised an eyebrow and said, "If I had had your talent back then, I wouldn't have died and perished, with only a wisp of my soul having the chance to be reborn."

Lin Che clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "Senior calls himself the Dao Ancestor. Could it be that you were a powerful immortal in your previous life?"

Dao Zu glanced sideways at Lin Che behind him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "That's right, I am indeed the strongest of the Immortal Clan in the Reverse Dust Realm, a peak overlord hundreds of billions of times stronger. Any cultivator in front of me is nothing but an ant among ants." "Then why did you perish, senior? With your strength, I'm afraid there are few people in the entire Reverse Dust Realm who could be your match."

At this point, a barely perceptible look of solemnity flashed in the Dao Ancestor's eyes, as if he did not want to bring up the painful events of the past.

But now that I am about to be completely destroyed, I should tell my reincarnated self a word of caution.

The Dao Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the countless stars of antiquity, and murmured to himself, "That's because... back then I glimpsed the Heavenly Dao that I shouldn't have..."

"In your understanding, the Sky-Stepping Realm is already the strongest in this world, but it is far more than that. This is because the Sky-Stepping Realm is only the beginning of the fourth step. The real path still has the fifth step, the sixth step, and so on up to the tenth step!"

The Dao Ancestor clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

"And the tenth step is called the Radiant Heaven Realm!"

"This is the ultimate realm of the entire cultivation system. Cultivators who stand at this realm become the masters of the universe. Their understanding and control of the rules of heaven and earth and the truth of the universe have reached the pinnacle. Their power transcends the realm of matter and energy, and they can manipulate and reshape the universe at will."

"Back then, I had already reached the sixth step, which is the realm of no Dao. At this point, the cultivator has transcended the conventional understanding of the Dao and is no longer restricted by any Dao. He is a unique existence in himself and may be able to create or destroy the universe invisibly."

The Dao Ancestor said calmly, "That is why I call myself the Dao Ancestor. However, because I was trying to peek into the will of the Heavenly Dao, I encountered the Nine Annihilation Divine Lightning before I even stepped into the seventh step."

"That is a lightning tribulation that would surely kill even a ninth-step cultivator, and I myself died in the Nine Annihilation Divine Lightning back then."

Lin Che gasped, the immortal energy at his fingertips rippling due to the tremor in his mind.

Even the sixth-step Daoless Realm could perish from a lightning tribulation; just how terrifying is the power of the Radiant Heaven Realm?

Looking at the bulging veins on the Dao Ancestor's clenched fist, he suddenly noticed that the skin exposed under the other's sleeve was covered with fine gray spots, like withered leaves eroded by time.

"Nine Annihilation Divine Thunder..."

The Dao Ancestor's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if an electric current had exploded in his throat.

"That's not a punishment from the rules of heaven and earth, but a trap set up by the beings of the Radiant Heaven Realm. They don't allow anyone to touch the threshold of the tenth step, and they are even more wary of the Daoless Realm peeking into the truth of the universe."

Before the words were finished, a spiderweb-like crack suddenly appeared in the dome of the stone chamber, and countless stardust-like specks of light fell from the crack.

The Dao Ancestor suddenly turned around, and with a flick of his sleeve, he gathered all the light spots into his palm. The light spots sizzled and burned when they touched his skin, leaving dense black lines on the back of his hand.

"look."

The Dao Ancestor opened his palm, the lines spreading at a visible speed. His expression was indifferent as he said, "Even if only a wisp of my soul remains, they can still sense my presence. This is the power of the Radiant Heaven Realm—annihilation that transcends time and space." (End of Chapter)
