Lin Luochen had, after all, idled away a hundred years in the Immortal Sect, so he knew this was his Sea of Consciousness and spiritual platform.
But why did his spiritual platform have a green lotus?
It seemed to be slowly illuminating. What would happen when it fully lit up?
Lin Luochen reached out and touched it. The green lotus merely swayed, with no other reaction.
With a thought, he recited the scripture again, and the green lotus indeed reacted.
It cast out a burst of green light, upon which characters appeared, revealing a Cultivation Technique named the "Destiny Reincarnation Art."
And what he had been reciting was precisely its opening general outline.
This Art was comprehended from the reincarnation defying fate tablet, possessing the terrifying power to glimpse fate, reverse Karma, and step into the Reincarnation of time.
Cultivators could glimpse fate, deceive fate, change fate, and even step into the river of time, seizing a glimmer of life within Reincarnation.
When Cultivated to its extreme, the Cultivator would nurture a world within their body, transforming into the Heavenly Dao, transcending beyond the Three Realms.
After Lin Luochen finished reading the entire text, he felt that the person who created this Art was a madman, but also a Genius.
Normally, he would have scoffed, thinking the creator of this Cultivation Technique was bragging.
But at this moment, he could not treat it lightly, because he had indeed Reborn because of it!
With such a miraculous Cultivation Technique, why would he worry that his great revenge could not be exacted?
However, Lin Luochen quickly calmed down, as he discovered that the Cultivation Technique before him only contained the first three chapters.
This Cultivation Technique could only be Cultivated to the Golden Core Realm; the subsequent chapters had disappeared!
Were the later chapters of the Magic Technique on the reincarnation defying fate tablet?
Or perhaps, they would only appear once he Cultivated to the corresponding Realm?
It couldn't be that the creator hadn't created them at all!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
But no matter what, this was Lin Luochen's only choice at the moment!
After all, this Art could be Cultivated to Golden Core, so he could always switch Magic Techniques later.
After understanding the situation within his body, Lin Luochen slowly opened his eyes and surveyed the dilapidated wooden house.
The Lin family had lived for generations by hunting on the edge of the Broken Moon Demon Gorge. By Lin Changsheng's generation, they were so poor that no one dared to marry into the family.
This perfectly fit the old saying: poverty doesn't last three generations.
Because if you're poor for three generations, you're pretty much extinct!
Just as the family was on the verge of extinction, a giant white rat crawled out of the Broken Moon Demon Gorge and brought him Lin Luochen.
After Lin Changsheng picked up Lin Luochen, the white rat looked on reluctantly, bowed a few times, and then disappeared.
Lin Changsheng was therefore very certain that Lin Luochen was not a Mortal, and named him LuoChen.
Lin Changsheng constantly yearned for an Immortal to come and take Lin Luochen away, bestowing upon him supreme Immortal Opportunity and wealth.
But he never waited for the longed-for Immortal Opportunity until his death, and Lin Luochen, until he died of old age, never waited for his parents.
Perhaps they were already dead?
Lin Luochen was not a true Lin family member. Lin Changsheng, before he died, told him to go down the mountain and seek another path in the future.
He did not leave immediately, but stubbornly stayed on the mountain to observe three years of mourning for him.
Now, Lin Luochen roughly knew the time from the wild boar outside the house, squealing, waiting to be slaughtered.
Three days later would be the death anniversary of his adoptive father, Lin Changsheng, and this pig was the offering he had prepared.
After three years, he had originally planned to go down the mountain after paying respects to his adoptive father, but who knew he would encounter that unlucky woman, Leng Yueshuang, on the mountain.
At the time, he even thought his old man was showing his spiritual power, sending him a wife.
Who knew it was sending him free room and board for life!
Having Reborn, Lin Luochen's first reaction was to want to stay far away from that woman, Leng Yueshuang, and not repeat the same mistakes.
He would go far away, seek the Dao of Immortals, and when he had achieved success in Cultivating the Dao, he would then settle accounts with the Jade Maiden Sect.
But... if he didn't save that foolish woman, she would probably drown in the lake. Who would he settle accounts with then?
Her death would be the end of everything, and it wouldn't at all atone for his hundred years of imprisonment!
Imprisoning him for a hundred years, this debt must be settled, and settled thoroughly!
Moreover, most importantly, she still had that reincarnation defying fate tablet on her!
It might contain the latter half of the "Destiny Reincarnation Art," and it was also related to his Rebirth.
This kind of supreme treasure must absolutely not fall into that woman Gu Qinghan's hands again!
However, if he went again, he was afraid he would repeat the same mistakes and sink deep into the mire.
How about, save that woman, snatch the reincarnation defying fate tablet, and then run?
But both the righteous and the evil factions were fighting over this thing. If he took it, could he really escape?
Lin Luochen felt somewhat helpless. Although he had Reborn.
He only had three days left, and even if he Cultivated, racing against time, the improvement in his strength would be limited.
Lin Luochen raised a hand to slap his forehead, sighing, "Is there any way to quickly increase my strength?"
As he moved, a blood-colored Broken Blade was knocked to the floor, making a clear 'ding' sound.
The Broken Blade resembled the tip of a long sword; the blade itself was gone, leaving only this palm-sized tip.
The sword tip was crystal clear, like amber, with a hint of blood-red light, as if stained with some blood.
Lin Luochen joyfully bent down to pick it up, his face filled with the happiness of recovering something lost.
According to Lin Changsheng, this Broken Blade had fallen into Lin Luochen's swaddling clothes and was picked up with him.
The Broken Blade's material was unknown, but it could cut through iron like mud, was incredibly sharp, and was impervious to water and fire.
Lin Changsheng had once tried to burn it, but after three days and three nights of burning, it was still cold to the touch and didn't even get warm.
Lin Luochen had used this Broken Blade as a throwing knife since childhood, and it was always effective for hunting.
However, in his previous life, when he was escaping from the Jade Maiden Sect, its extraordinary nature was exposed, and it was confiscated by Gu Qinghan.
At this moment, Lin Luochen gently wiped the Broken Blade, a smile of reunion playing on his lips.
"Old friend, long time no see!"
He didn't know what relationship this Broken Blade had with his parents, but since the sword was broken, he figured they were probably in grave danger.
From the fact that this Broken Blade could cut Spiritual Artifacts and even injure Cultivators, it was clear that it was indeed an Immortal Magic Treasure.
From this perspective, his parents should also have been Cultivators, but something must have happened for them to abandon him.
Lin Luochen sighed, and with a swipe of his hand across the Broken Blade, it immediately emitted an eerie blood-red glow.
He had accidentally discovered that as long as it absorbed his blood, this Broken Blade would become incredibly sharp.
And his wounds would heal very quickly. From then on, Lin Luochen often fed it with his blood.
Lin Luochen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and laughed, "I've got it!"
He put away the Broken Blade in his hand, quickly got up, gathered his things, and headed down the mountain.
Since he couldn't defeat them by force, he could only outsmart them!
Although he couldn't beat them, he knew exactly what was going to happen next.
Three days later.
By the lakeside deep in the mountains.
Lin Luochen leaned against a solitary grave, drinking wine, a fishing rod propped up in front of him, as he fished by the lake.
He forlornly clinked his wine flask against the open wine flask in front of the tomb, his voice tinged with melancholy.
"Old Lin, long time no see, but I'll have to leave again soon!"
"If you're lonely by yourself, I'll burn a few more Fairies for you later, live ones!"
"Don't worry, I'll come back to see you when I have time. If you have a spirit in Heaven, you must bless me to turn misfortune into good fortune!"
Lin Luochen drained the wine, then put on a half-faced iron mask, picked up his fishing rod, and cast his line.
"I know you don't want me to leave. I'll fish with you one last time. This must be a big fish!"
Time slowly passed, and no fish bit the hook, but Lin Luochen was not in a hurry at all.
He held the fishing rod, his gaze calmly fixed on the sky, and murmured, "It should be about time, right?"
Back then, he was fishing here and joking with Lin Changsheng, asking him to send him a wife so he wouldn't end up a bachelor like him.
As soon as the words left his mouth, that foolish woman suddenly appeared in mid-air and plunged directly into the water!
This had scared Lin Luochen at the time, making him wonder if Lin Changsheng was an official in the underworld, for it to be so effective.
He never thought that once he entered the 'oyster gate,' it would be as deep as the sea, and from then on, freedom would be a stranger!
Just as Lin Luochen was lost in thought, a violent spiritual energy fluctuation appeared.
The sky above the lake suddenly twisted, and a woman in a blue and white palace dress appeared out of thin air.
The woman's blue and white palace dress was stained red with blood. As soon as she appeared, she plunged headfirst into the lake in front of Lin Luochen.
Lin Luochen watched calmly as a large splash erupted on the lake's surface, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
You're finally here, Leng Yueshuang. I've been waiting for you for a long time!
He sat quietly by the shore, fishing, calmly watching Leng Yueshuang struggle in the water, her blood quickly dyeing the lake red.
Leng Yueshuang's spiritual energy was suppressed, preventing internal circulation, and she was not a strong swimmer, so she could only look helplessly towards the shore.
"Help... help! I can't swim!"
But Lin Luochen remained unmoved, still calmly fishing, causing Leng Yueshuang to feel despair.
No, friend, help me!
Is this guy blind?
She struggled weakly in the water for a while, but being severely injured, she truly had no strength to swim to the shore.
Soon, Leng Yueshuang's strength ran out, and she slowly sank towards the bottom of the lake, her heart filled with unwillingness.
Was she just going to drown like this, so inexplicably?
Just then, with a splash, a figure leaped from the shore, bringing down countless bubbles.
Leng Yueshuang saw that the person wore a half-faced mask, and beneath the mask, a pair of deep, watery eyes were revealed, sparkling with cold light.
That gaze, as if across endless time and space, gave her a sense of déjà vu.
But soon, the person moved behind her, embracing her from behind, and swam towards the surface.
