2 A good elder needs a good cash cow (1/2)
Ah, so cozy.
How many years has it been since I have felt so peaceful?
How many years has it been since I could relax like this?
Who knew that death would feel so peaceful. If I knew about it, I would have already formed a hobby of blocking young masters long ago.
”-al immediately”
So soothing.
”All elders, please attend the disciple selection trial immediately.”
So, co- ”All elders, please attend the disciple selection trial immediately.”
…
”All elders, plea-”
”Ah, fuck it. Can't you even let me die in peace, you unfeeling piece of garbage.”
I roared as I threw the annoying speaker badge out from my bed.
*huff* *huff* 'To think I would have to hear that voice once again. What a nightmare. I am already dead for god's sake.'
Hmm.
Wait a second.
How am I still thinking?
Shouldn't I be dead?
Is this the afterlife?
Opening my eyes with 'great difficulty', I looked at my surroundings and was stunned.
'This… isn't this the abode I used to live back in the days when I was the elder of one of the branches of the Immortal Divinity Sect (mortal plane version).'
Was my previous death an illusion?
No, the sensation of death was too real. If someone could replicate death to that standard for a person of my cultivation level, there would be no need for all the pointless waste of resources to make me fall into illusion.
He could simply slap me to the heavens.
So, this means…
'Holy sh*t, have I returned to the past.'
A little excited, I moved to the left corner of my room which had a mirror and examined my features.
A super handsome face (in mc's opinion) which could overshadow all beings reflected before my eyes. (in mc's opinion)
”Those cool looking eyes, that cold expression. Kyaaaah” [AN: narcissist fanboy].
”My handsome face before it was ruined by those jealous ugly heretics from the spiritual plane.”
Tears swelled in my eyes as I gazed at the male god(lol) before me.
”Finally, I can fulfill the long-lasting regrets of my past life.”
”Finally, I will be able to prevent the heart demon which prevented me from ascending to higher stages.”
With great determination I looked at the sky (the upper wall of immortal abode) and declared.
”I, Xing Fan hereby swear to the heavens with the sky as my witness and the celestial bodies as my judge.”
”I, Xing Fan will become a rich deadbeat and no longer act like those crazy hot-blooded youngsters.”
”I will marry a wife who is filial, sweet, sexy, innocent, [insert all unrealistic expectation of your ideal waifu] and live peacefully with little Xing Fans.”
”I will become a NEET in the cultivation world.”
”I will become th-”
”All elders, please attend the disciple selection trial immediately.” (speaker)
A vein popped in my face as I angrily glared at the speaker badge for ruining my moment. But when I recalled my previous frugal lifestyle and the cost of the badge, I immediately restrained my aura and placed it carefully in the table.
Forget it. A gentleman does not mind such small things.
Besides, I have more important things to do at the moment.
Which is, of course, to attend this disciple selection trial.
As for trying to understand how or why I reincarnated?
A great Taoist from the village once said that you do not search fate, fate searches you before he dozed to sleep.
As his filial half-disciple, I will continue to carry his legacy even though he may no longer remember me.
At any rate, this is not the first-time crazy stuffs have happened to me.
Even in the village of Heavenly Plane which I consider rather peaceful, there were times when I woke up in the middle of the sky, was chased around by a horde of Orcs, and later forced to enter the territory of those very creatures to get some ingredients in the name of training.
Strange. Did I really just say that my time in the village was peaceful?
Ha…ha.
Damn, I am getting tears in my eyes. o(╥﹏╥)
Anyways, let's get back to the main topic.
The disciple selection trial.
