Lin Chuan felt as if he had had an extremely long dream.
In his dream, he became a ragged beggar, wandering the busy streets all day, begging for mercy from others.
At the age of ten, fate once again pushed him into the abyss. Someone, seeing his handsome appearance, had evil thoughts and wanted to capture him as a pedophile and send him to the rich and powerful.
He was terrified, but powerless to resist, and could only let those people pull him away. Just when he was in despair, the leader of a small sect came down the mountain to travel and happened to pass by. Seeing this, the leader was furious and immediately rescued him and brought him back to the sect.
"What's your name?"
"..."
"Well, since I met you in Qin, I'll call you Qin!"
"Thank you for the name, Master."
The sect was small, with only three members, including him: the sect leader, his senior sister, and him. Yet, they were all exceptionally kind to him. The sect leader's care was like the warm spring sun, and his senior sister's care was like a gentle breeze. For him, a man who had been begging for years, this was the first time he felt the warmth of home. A small sect, a warm home.
But his elder sister seemed to have a strange disease, and she spent almost half of the day sleeping. He asked the headmaster why, and the headmaster said it was a curse from the soul, and there was no way to cure it, and she could only wait for the end of her life.
"Master, how long can Senior Sister live?"
"ten years."
"Is there nothing we can do?"
"At least I didn't."
The headmaster shook his head, his eyes dim.
In the days that followed, apart from cultivating, he spent all his time by his sister's side. Sometimes he wondered why heaven was so unfair. His sister had done nothing wrong, yet she didn't even have the right to die a natural death.
"Qin Lang, why are you frowning? Is there something that makes you unhappy?"
The girl placed her fingers between the eyebrows of the person in front of her and rubbed them gently, as if trying to soothe his worries.
"I was thinking... where should I take my senior sister to play tomorrow."
He gently removed the girl's hand from his brow and smiled softly.
"Wherever Qin Lang goes, it's fun." As if infected by the smile of the person in front of her, the girl also smiled happily.
However, the good times did not last long. One day, he and his senior sister went down the mountain to play. When they came back, the sect had become a ruin, and the leader was lying in a pool of blood.
"Take good care of your senior sister."
After saying this, the leader died, so much so that he didn't even know who the murderer was.
With the death of the headmaster, the family was broken up, and he returned to his wandering life, with no fixed place to live. But this time, he had some humble cultivation and the company of his senior sister.
After the master passed away, the girl continued to follow him, but her sleeping time gradually became longer and longer, and she only woke up at night throughout the day.
One night, the girl woke up, came to him crying, and hugged him.
"Qin Lang, I'm so afraid I'll never see you again."
"Sister, you must be having a nightmare. Don't worry, I'm always here."
……
After a long time, the girl slowly raised her head from his arms and looked at the person in front of her with burning eyes.
"Qin Lang, will you marry me?"
"..."
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. There will definitely be a way to cure your illness."
He muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was speaking to the girl or to himself.
……
In the following days, he took the girl with him to seek medical treatment everywhere. In the process, he awakened the body of war and was accepted as a personal disciple by Xue Yao, the leader of Ling Zhan Sect.
Xue Yao revealed that the young girl possessed the legendary cursed Nine Nether Body. Throughout the history of the Immortal Realm, only the Nine Nether Immortal Emperor had lived to become an Immortal Emperor; the rest rarely lived past the age of twenty. The Nine Nether Immortal Emperor was already a hundred thousand years old, and even his lineage had been lost in the long river of time.
After figuring out the cause of the girl's illness, he first practiced hard for a year, then left the girl in Lingzhan Sect. He then embarked on a journey alone, searching for the legacy of the Nine Nether Immortal Emperor.
However, life is never smooth sailing. In the outside world, he was deceived, betrayed, and harmed. The relics of the Nine Nether Immortal Emperor he found were sometimes fake, sometimes corrupted, sometimes taken by someone else first. He searched for two years without finding anything, and in the end, he was rescued by his master, Xue Yao, covered in wounds.
"Qin Lang, please don't go out again. I don't want a long life. I don't want you to get hurt. I just want you to stay with me."
"Sister..."
A touch of tenderness came over him, and before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked.
He stared blankly at the girl in front of him with a blush on her face, and forgot what to say for a moment.
"Don't call me Senior Sister, call me by my name."
"Qing...Qingshu."
……
The girl only had three years left to live, and he couldn't bear to watch her die. He waited until she fell asleep, then chose to go out again.
"The sect's resources are more than enough for you to cultivate. Do you still want to leave?"
"Ah."
"for her?"
"..."
"Well, your fighting body won't be able to exert its strengths without experiencing life and death ordeals. Here are the locations I've collected for you over the years that are suspected to be the remains of the Nine Nether Immortal Emperor. Go take a look."
Xue Yao sighed helplessly, then handed him a map.
Thus began his second journey to search for the legacy of the Nine Netherworld Immortal Emperor. How could life be all about ups and downs? This time, he met many like-minded friends and encountered various life-or-death challenges.
But he resolved them one by one, and as his realm continued to improve, his name even appeared on the list of the immortal world's prodigies. But none of this mattered. The most important thing was that he had actually found the legacy of the Nine Nether Immortal Emperor.
In a dark cave, he stared blankly at the words on the stone wall in front of him.
"The Nine Nether Body must be placed in a Soul-Nourishing Coffin, and then nourished by the earth's spiritual veins to prolong its lifespan. However, this method only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. To remove the curse, there is only... Yin and Yang..."
"Yin Yang? What Yin Yang?"
Although he didn't understand at the moment, he still put away the coffin. As long as he could prolong his life, there was still time to find a solution.
Ling Zhanzong.
"Master..."
"Take it!"
Xue Yao waved her hand casually, and two earth spirit veins bound by a ball of light came into his hands.
After all, the fairyland is different from the lower world. In the lower world, there is only one earth spiritual vein in a piece of land, but in the fairyland, there are more than one. Moreover, the fairyland is extremely vast. Although the earth spiritual veins are precious, they are not rare treasures.
"Give it to her first. I'll go find another one in a few days."
……
"Qin Lang, after I lie down, can you come and talk to me every day?"
"..."
He didn't say anything, because if he wanted to completely get rid of the curse of the Nine Nether Body, he also had to look for information about Yin and Yang, so he definitely couldn't stay with her for long.
"Qin Lang, I'm a burden to you..."
Seeing that the person in front of her didn't speak, the girl looked depressed and slowly lay down in the black coffin.
