Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 162: Reincarnated Nine Times Birth of the Celestial Killer Fate of the Immortal King


"Celestial Killer, Celestial Hatred, Heavenly Dark, Celestial Sorrow, Celestial Return, Celestial Order, **, **, **,"

"By comprehending these nine different lifetimes, one can cultivate the nine Immortal Acupoints, confirm the Nine Lives Immortal King Body, and step into the Immortal King Realm."

The tone of these two passages is clearly different from the main text above, not resembling cultivation texts, but more like someone's personal insights left at the end of the cultivation technique after having comprehended or authored it.

With these final two passages, combined with the earlier cultivation texts, Su Mu generally discerned the purpose of this Immortal Technique.

Through reincarnation, by experiencing nine different lifetimes, after successfully living through nine lives, one can cultivate a physique known as the "Nine Lives Immortal King Body" and successfully step into the Immortal King Realm.

However, only six of these nine lifetimes are known; the remaining three are unfamiliar, even to Nannan, so... Su Mu must find a way to deduce these last three lifetimes on his own.

First, perfect the cultivation of the previous six reincarnations; as for the final three, perhaps once the first six are perfected, there may be some inspiration, successfully deducing them.

But... a very serious problem has arisen!

This cultivation technique is a reincarnation technique.

This means that Su Mu must reincarnate nine times, experience nine different lifetimes.

But the problem is... Su Mu can't even leave this river, let alone reincarnate?

Therefore... this cultivation technique is utterly useless to Su Mu because there's simply no way to cultivate it.

Given the current situation, he's also encountering a bottleneck; ordinary cultivation has no way to break through this Immortal King bottleneck without some kind of breakthrough, and the cultivation technique obtained now might just be such an opportunity for Su Mu. Missing it could mean... never being able to break through to the Immortal King Realm in this lifetime.

Because the Immortal King Realm is already extremely high, it is a supreme realm where one can confirm the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King, requiring an opportunity, a unique fate.

Within the Ten Thousand Realms, there are countless Celestial Immortal Perfection Great Cultivators, but only a very few can confirm the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King, because once one becomes an Immortal King, they can directly change the entire family's bloodline.

He once read in ancient texts about a Celestial Immortal Perfection cultivator who, upon confirming the Dao as an Immortal King, on the day of the breakthrough, the entire family's bloodline was instantly elevated. The direct lineage of those with extraordinary talent within a day transformed, with some blessed scions even ascending directly to the Human Immortal or even Earth Immortal Realm!

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; that speaks to the Immortal King!

A family that produces an Immortal King can be called an Immortal King Family, passing down through the ages, leaving a lasting legacy!

So, Su Mu must seize this opportunity, who knows if this might be his only chance to step into the Immortal King Realm.

...

Suddenly, Su Mu's eyes lit up, looking at the stone ring on his finger.

Is there a possibility, using the stone ring to reincarnate?

Since the stone ring's function is to have a grand dream, experiencing a unique lifetime within the dream, and then transferring the gains from the dream back to the main body.

Carefully thinking about it, doesn't this have the same essence as reincarnation?

No sooner said than done, since it's just a dream, even if it fails, it won't have any loss for himself.

Su Mu opened the second page of the Stone Book, which records the "First Life," namely the "Heavenly Killer Life."

He recited the core mantra within; Nannan was meticulous, even marking out for Su Mu the original pronunciation of each ancient character's phonetics.

In the next second, a strange phonetic ancient text mantra was silently chanted by Su Mu.

A black light burst from the stone ring on his finger, diving into Su Mu's mind.

Eventually, Su Mu felt a wave of drowsiness, slowly closing his eyes.

....

In a daze, Su Mu felt his soul traversing through cold, empty spacetime cracks, penetrating realm after realm, finally locking onto a specific world.

Gradually, his original consciousness and memory started to be forgotten, or rather, were being sealed away.

....

Cold, bone-chilling cold.

Su Mu slowly opened his heavy eyelids, feeling the cold wind whipping the pus-filled wounds on his body, both cold and painful.

"Move along!"

A patrolling city guard dressed in an officer's uniform pinched his nose, dismissing a scruffy youth huddled in a corner of the street, his expression of utter disdain.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Mu slowly recalled that he was a wandering vagrant. He seemed to have had a long, long dream just now, but he couldn't remember the content of the dream.

The next second, another man beside the emaciated city guard also frowned and said, "Brother Li, Princess Chengyang is coming to our Ling City for a banquet today. Such vagrants are too unsightly for our city's image. We should just kill him and toss him outside."

Upon hearing this, the emaciated guard waved his hand dismissively, "Enough, enough, this vagrant is not like the others; he's called Lin Mu; you must have heard of him."

Upon hearing the name "Lin Mu," a trace of astonishment flickered across the slightly plump middle-aged man's face.

"Isn't he the young master of the Lin Family of our Peaceguard Country?"

"Yes, that's him, a pitiable soul; the entire Lin Family is gone, leaving only him behind, so just drive him away."

The emaciated guard said leisurely.

"Hurry along now; you're lucky today. I once served as a vice-captain in the Lin'an Army of the Lin Family, which gives me some connection with your family."

"If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be as simple as just driving you away."

The emaciated city guard said to the black-haired scruffy youth.

Upon hearing this, the black-haired youth just slowly stood up, saying nothing, limping as he made his way toward the back gate of the city.

After the black-haired youth had walked some distance away.

The slightly plump middle-aged guard also wore a schadenfreude expression, laughingly saying, "I think the Lin Family remnants should all perish."

Upon hearing this, the emaciated man shot him a glare, "Don't ever say that again."

"The Lin Family was once a great family, recognized as the first to receive the 'Peaceguard Millennium Family' honor with five Golden Core Great Powers among them." The emaciated man said slowly.

.....

"So what? They're just a family of traitors." The slightly plump man said dismissively.

"Enough! Do not speak of this matter again! Continue the patrol."

"Princess Chengyang will arrive this afternoon; there mustn't be any disturbances in our city."

After speaking, the two guards resumed their patrol in the city.

Su Mu stepped out of the city, finally exhausted, leaned against the city wall.

He looked at the sky, a trace of bewilderment surfacing in his empty eyes.

His name was Lin Mu, an orphan, or more aptly, the remnant of the Lin Family, with no relatives left in the world, only himself.
