Standing in mid-air outside Lingyin City, Zhou Xingdou stood with his hands behind his back, but his brows were furrowed.
Yun Jinzhi's cold poison had been cured, her bloodline had awakened, and she had been subdued by him. It was time for him to return to his sect. After spending some time with Yun Jinzhi, he bid her farewell and left the Lin residence.
However, he didn't actually need to rush back to the sect. As the chief disciple of Luoxia Sword Immortal and the chief disciple of Jiuxuan Peak, apart from his master and sect leader, no one else could take care of him.
But Stephen Chow still chose to extricate himself as soon as possible because he realized that something was wrong with him. He had actually developed some feelings for Yun Jinzhi!
This was fatal for him. It might not matter if it were someone else, but Yun Jinzhi was Lin Fan's mother after all, and he couldn't have this kind of relationship with her!
We can't have that yet, at least not now!
Thinking back to this week, Xingdou slapped himself hard across the face. The pain also made him more awake, and scenes from his previous life floated before his eyes.
His gaze once again turned deep and cold, suppressing his emotions.
It turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Lin Fan wasn't in much better shape either, as he had been trying to break through the fourth level of the Tongxuan realm through the Tongmai breakthrough.
But at crucial moments, he felt that he was losing something, and he could sense that it was extremely important to him, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
This made him irritable and restless, and he failed to break through twice in one day. Now he was severely injured by the backlash and was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to walk out of his room.
However, he wasn't worried about his mother's cold poison. After all, although he disliked his hypocritical second-generation rich kid senior brother, he had to admit that even the most powerful cold poison couldn't cause any trouble in front of him.
However, he never expected that his hometown had undergone such a dramatic transformation.
...
In a short while, Zhou Xingdou returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect. The Xuantian Dao Sect occupied a vast area and was located in the very center of Tianxuan Sacred Continent, with abundant spiritual energy and excellent feng shui.
The sect is filled with countless formations, the most prominent of which is the sect-protecting formation, which, like an inverted canopy, covers the entire sect, radiating a faint immortal light and displaying the grandeur of immortals.
The sect is divided into inner and outer sections, with the outer section occupying the outer ring of the sect. The inner section is like a box with its own array covering it, blocking the outer disciples. The hierarchy is very clear.
Most striking are the three majestic and enormous immortal mountains floating in the sky, shimmering with ethereal light, overlooking all living beings from their lofty heights.
The three mountains correspond to Xuantian Peak, Jiuxuan Peak, and Jiutian Peak, respectively.
Among them, Xuantian Peak is located in the middle, slightly higher than Jiuxuan and Jiutian Peaks. It is the core area of Xuantian Dao Sect and the residence of Xuanjizi, the sect leader and a great master of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Nine Profound Peak and Nine Heavens Sect are the residences of the sect's true disciples and elders.
The Nine Profound Peak where Zhou Xingdou is located is led by Tian Jiu'er, the Sword Master of the Dao Tian Xuan Sect, whose master is second only to the sect leader Xuanjizi.
Zhou Xingdou passed through layers of formations and landed directly at the top of Jiuxuan Peak. However, his palace was not there. Only the peak master, Tian Jiu'er, could reside at the top of Jiuxuan Peak.
Even if one could imagine reaching the summit without hindrance like Zhou Xingdou, only two elders and Zhou Xingdou himself were qualified to enter the entire Nine Profound Peak.
At the summit stands a solemn black palace, not extravagant but certainly not ordinary.
Above the palace, a plaque bears three large, light blue characters: Nine Mysteries Palace!
These three characters are written with a clean and crisp style, and each stroke is like a world-shaking divine sword, exuding an unparalleled and terrifying sword intent. Even just a glance at them can make your eyes feel a little stinging.
However, Zhou Xingdou had seen this thing far too many times and was already immune to it. Moreover, his talent for swordsmanship was indeed poor, and he couldn't comprehend anything about it.
However, the thought of Tian Jiu'er stirred up his heart, which had just calmed down.
A young man's heart is always filled with poetry. He hadn't seen Tian Jiu'er for a long time. In his previous life, he killed Yuan Tianhou and helped Lin Fan eliminate many enemies from various sects.
Among them were people from Nine Profound Peaks, who ultimately pushed Lin Fan to the position of Daoist Child of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.
Since then, Tian Jiu'er seemed to be utterly disappointed and went into seclusion at Xuan Tian Peak for many years, never to see Zhou Xingdou again.
This became Zhou Xingdou's regret in his previous life until his death.
This suddenly reminded Zhou Xingdou of what Lin Fan had said before he died in his previous life:
"Don't worry, senior brother. After you die, senior sister and master will take good care of you."
This immediately made Zhou Xingdou's fists clench so tightly they cracked, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart, making him wish he could kill Lin Fan right now.
Because he dared not imagine what would have happened if he didn't have his past self, and if his fate after death had followed the same path as in his previous life.
What are you angry about?
At that moment, a clear and cold celestial voice, as pure as frost and snow, echoed in Zhou Xingdou's ears.
Zhou Xingdou trembled instantly. The celestial music was like a cool spring that extinguished the anger in his heart and brought him back to his senses from the memories of his previous life.
At this moment, the originally closed palace door slowly opened, and Zhou Xingdou stopped thinking about it, took two deep breaths of fresh air and stepped into the palace.
The Nine Mysteries Hall was not brightly lit, with no windows on any side. The walls were covered with ancient runes, and only the faint glow of the white jade pillars prevented the hall from being too dark.
But none of this was enough to make Zhou Xingdou's gaze linger for even a moment. His deep, indifferent eyes were stirred with countless waves when he saw a figure in the center of the hall.
She was an ethereal woman with flowing black hair, dressed in black, exuding a cold, noble, and pure aura.
Her skin was as smooth as ice and as flawless as jade, every inch of which was perfect, even surpassing the finest celestial jade.
Her stunning face seemed to be a perfect creation of heaven, flawless, and any description of her seemed to pale in comparison.
Yet she was not as alluring as Yun Jinzhi; her beauty was ethereal and jade-like, as pure and cold as the autumn moon, making one dare not harbor any evil thoughts.
Her body radiated ethereal light, and her supreme and terrifying sword intent reached the heavens. She stood like an unparalleled immortal sword, as if she were about to cleave the sky in two.
Peerless and independent, aloof and otherworldly!
It was as if a celestial maiden had descended to the mortal realm; everything else paled in comparison to her, and for a moment, it seemed as if she were the only person in the world.
At this moment, the stunningly beautiful woman looked at Zhou Xingdou, her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars and the moon, flickered slightly, and her clear, ethereal voice rang out once more:
"Your heart is in turmoil, why?"
Zhou Xingdou could not possibly tell Tian Jiu'er that he had been reborn back to twenty years ago; that would be too unbelievable.
He could only lower his eyes and smile:
"I thought about some things I didn't want to happen."
Zhou Xingdou was unwilling to say more, so Tian Jiu'er stopped asking.
However, those bright and sharp eyes kept staring at Zhou Xingdou, making him feel somewhat intimidated. He even felt as if he were naked in front of Tian Jiu'er.
Fortunately, Tian Jiu'er's clear and ethereal fairy voice rang out again:
"What brings you here today?"
Zhou Xingdou narrowed his eyes, looking at the stunningly handsome master he admired before him, and uttered a few words in a deep voice:
"I want the position of Dao Child!"
