The State of Yu, Hedong Commandery, Gao Family.

Seventy-three-year-old Jiang Yun lay in bed, completely exhausted, unable to even open her eyelids.

He realized that his life in this world had come to an end.

In the final moments of my life, the most beautiful memories flashed through my mind.

These beautiful scenes flashed by one after another until life came to an end.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Gao family.

"It's already past 9 AM, Brother Jiang, why aren't you up yet?"

Old Master Gao said slowly, "Huai'er, go and take a look."

A short while later, his son Gao Huai left and then returned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Father, Uncle Jiang... he passed away peacefully at an old age. Please accept my condolences and do not harm your health."

After a moment of silence, Old Master Gao sighed and said, "Help me over there and see him off."

The father and son went to Jiang Yun's room.

The elderly man lying in bed has passed away.

Fortunately, he passed away peacefully without pain.

Old Master Gao stood beside Jiang Yun's bed and whispered, "Give him a proper burial."

After saying that, he turned around, hunched over, and walked out the door.

Upon seeing this, Gao Huai quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Dad isn't so old that he can't walk!"

Grandpa Gao shook off Gao Huai's hand.

He moved his feet very slowly, as if he were about to fall at any moment.

Upon entering the hall, we found Old Master Gao sitting at the head of the table, facing the door.

Memories of the past, like smoke, float into my mind one by one.

He was born into a wealthy merchant family and, in his youth, sought immortality everywhere, where he happened to meet Jiang Yun, who was also searching for a path to immortality.

The two hit it off immediately and became close friends.

Several years later, he met a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest tested their spiritual roots, and it turned out that neither he nor Jiang Yun had any.

He was young then and asked the Taoist priest, "Master, is it really impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"

The Taoist priest told him very clearly that he could not.

Time flies, and more than fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Jiang, a mortal's life is too short."

Old Master Gao was barely breathing when he suddenly drooped his head and died.

……

In chaos.

Jiang Yun gradually regained consciousness.

【World: The Vast Universe】

[Host: Jiang Yun]

[Died at age 73]

Rating: Medium

[Gain Talent: Robust and Mighty (Permanent)]

"Moderate rating, not bad."

Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised.

Unable to cultivate in this lifetime, he wasted his life until death.

Unexpectedly, he received a moderate evaluation and was awarded the talent of being physically strong.

"The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes says that at the end of each life, one can permanently gain a talent, supernatural power, or secret technique."

"Based on my performance in each incarnation, I am categorized into superior, average, and inferior evaluations."

"The higher the rating, the more powerful the innate supernatural abilities and secret techniques you will receive."

The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes protects Jiang Yun's true spirit, ensuring its immortality for a hundred lifetimes and allowing it to reincarnate between the two worlds.

In the first life, one is in the Qiankun Immortal Cultivation World; in the second life, one goes to another world; and in the third life, one returns to the Qiankun Immortal Cultivation World, and so on, in a continuous cycle.

"Through reincarnation across two realms and a hundred lifetimes of cultivation, immortality is within reach, and the Great Dao is attainable!"

Jiang Yun was quite excited, waiting for the Book of a Hundred Generations to turn to the second page.

He was obsessed with seeking immortality and eternal life.

Therefore, he never married or had children in his first life, and had no other attachments.

I only hope that in my second life, I can embark on the path to immortality.

"I hope to have spiritual roots in my next life."

Thinking this, the Book of a Hundred Generations turned to the second page.

Jiang Yun's true spirit was absorbed into it.

A dizzying sensation followed, and consciousness vanished once more.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes again and found himself lying on a cart.

There was a short knife beside me, and I could hear panicked arguing all around me.

"Why haven't the family's reinforcements arrived yet?"

"After dark, something eerie will descend, and we'll only have to wait to die!"

"Without Yuan Stones, the Yuan Sky Lantern cannot be lit. What should we do now?"

Arguments rose and fell.

Jiang Yun blinked.

A wave of unfamiliar memories flooded his mind.

In this life, his name is Qin An, and he has the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.

He was originally a rogue cultivator, but was later absorbed by the Zheng family, a family of cultivators, and became a servant in the Zheng family.

The Zheng family is transporting a batch of low-grade medicinal herbs and has sent him to accompany and protect them.

Three days ago, the team was attacked by a rival clan, resulting in heavy casualties.

Qin An, as a servant in the Zheng family, was the first to be hit and died from his injuries.

After his death, Bai Shishu was reborn carrying Jiang Yun's true spirit.

"At least I have spiritual roots, which is better than in my previous life."

Jiang Yun learned that she possessed spiritual roots in this life.

Before I could even feel happy, my heart sank to the bottom.

"No, this world..."

It turns out that this world is rife with strange and bizarre occurrences.

After nightfall, countless strange creatures descend upon the world and take people's lives.

These bizarre creatures have neither souls nor flesh, and their numbers are enormous.

Even a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't dare to continue fighting the strange entity in the darkness.

The cultivators can only ensure their safety by staying near the Yuantian Lantern, the shrine, or the holy statue.

The Yuantian Lantern is a magical artifact that uses Yuan Stones as fuel and can effectively block strange phenomena within a certain range.

A shrine is a small pavilion for enshrining statues of gods and Buddhas; it is a marvel of nature.

As for the sacred statues, they are divine objects that have existed since ancient times, and are naturally feared for their strangeness.

In this world, those who possess holy statues are all powerful and dominant forces.

After the memories were integrated.

Jiang Yun felt somewhat desperate.

The second life has just begun, and there is still the spiritual root that I have been dreaming of.

However, the current situation is very bad.

The arguing continued around them.

Until team leader Zheng Xiao spoke:

"What's all the noise about? Who said the Yuan Sky Lantern can't be lit without Yuan Stones?"

Zheng Xiao is a member of a collateral branch of the Zheng family, with a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining. He is the main person in charge of transporting the medicinal herbs this time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shut up and shrank back.

Some people were so frightened that they took several steps back.

Clearly, these people knew that, apart from using Yuan Stones to light the Yuan Heaven Lamp...

There is another way to let them survive the night.

"Our family is rushing to our aid, and reinforcements will definitely arrive tomorrow."

Zheng Xiao said expressionlessly, "To survive tonight, who among you is willing to step forward and serve as fuel for the Yuan Tian Lantern?"

Silence fell; no one was willing to die.

"Nobody wants to?" Zheng Xiao glanced at everyone and sneered, "Then I'll point to whoever I want."

Everyone held their breath, fearing that Zheng Xiao, the King of Hell, would call their attention.

Zheng Xiao raised his hand, about to call out names.

At this moment, someone hurriedly shouted, "Qin An, he's still alive! Let's burn him like a sky lantern!"

"I almost forgot about him if you hadn't mentioned him."

Zheng Xiao took out a sword and laughed, "Wu Ming, go and kill Qin An, then light the Yuan Tian Lantern."

"Yes."

Wu Ming responded and came to Jiang Yun's side with his sword in hand.

Like Jiang Yun, he was a servant in the Zheng family, and his cultivation level was also at the third level of Qi Refining.

On the cart.

Jiang Yun sat up abruptly, gripping a short knife beside him.

"Brother Qin, thank you for your hard work and dedication. We will always remember your kindness."

Wu Ming's expression was fierce, his face piercing Jiang Yun's heart.

Jiang Yun has just been reincarnated.

His body was severely injured, and he was completely powerless to resist.

However, he has the natural talent of being "strong and robust".

The moment Wu Ming plunged the sword into his body.

He suddenly sprang up and plunged the dagger into Wu Ming's body.

"I'll take someone down with me even if I die..."

Jiang Yun grinned maliciously, his consciousness gradually fading, and he perished together with Wu Ming.

I never imagined that my second life would end so abruptly.
