After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Seeing that his son had hit the nail on the head, Yu Jinchen nodded.

"Yes, Shu Nuo guessed correctly. That evil cultivator did try to possess me. At first, because his cultivation was much higher than mine, he almost took control as soon as he entered my sea of ​​consciousness."

I thought that if he completely controlled my consciousness, I would be finished. Now that things had come to this, I thought of a possibility and decided I had to try it. If it succeeded, I would definitely be safe.

At this point, Yu Jinchen paused for a moment, then, as if he had made up his mind, continued, "I have something to tell you brothers. Because it is very important, you must not tell anyone after you hear it."

This matter could concern the lives of me, your mother, and even the entire family. From now on, you can't even tell your own wives and children.

After saying this, Yu Jinchen looked at his two sons with a serious expression.

Seeing her father's serious expression, Xu Shunuo spoke first, "Dad, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Father, I won't tell anyone, not even my future wife and children," Xu Shuyang promised earnestly.

Although he is usually a bit carefree, he always keeps his promises, something his parents, Xu Qingman and her husband, know very well.

Yu Jinchen nodded and continued, "Alright, then I will tell you our family's biggest secret."

"Both your mother and I have memories of our past lives, meaning we've both been reborn."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers had an "I see" look on their faces.

Xu Shuyang affirmed, "I understand. It must be because you, Father, have been reborn once, and your soul strength is much higher than others, which is why that evil cultivator failed to possess you."

Yu Jinchen laughed and said, "Yes and no. I only understood after trying it. Someone like me who has been reborn can essentially be considered to have possessed another body. It's just that I possessed my own body from different time periods."

All those whose bodies have been possessed are already different in spirit and soul. If someone tries to possess another body, they will surely suffer a backlash.

So, I can say that I turned misfortune into blessing this time. After the evil cultivator failed to possess my body, I devoured his soul.

My soul is now incredibly strong. Even if I advance rapidly in the future, I will not have any problems due to insufficient soul strength.

Furthermore, because I devoured that person's soul, the benefits I received went far beyond just the enhancement of my own soul.

At this point, Yu Jinchen gave his wife and two sons a mysterious smile.

After being urged repeatedly by the group, Yu Jinchen finally answered their questions.

"You all know that this is the Lingshan Sect, an ancient cultivation sect. I learned from this person's memories that the Lingshan Sect was the largest sect on the Lingchuan Continent at that time."

The sect has over 100,000 disciples, including more than a dozen Mahayana cultivators, not to mention dozens of Tribulation Transcending cultivators and over a hundred Void Transformation cultivators.

Just think about it, these days, it's already quite remarkable if the major sects have two Mahayana cultivators and five or six Tribulation Transcending cultivators. This other sect alone has several times more Mahayana cultivators than all the other sects combined.

More importantly, at that time, each of the major sects in the cultivation world had one or two rogue immortals.

"A wandering immortal, what does that mean?"

This was the first time the mother and her two children had heard the term "wandering immortal" used. Was a wandering immortal the same as an immortal? But weren't immortals only those who ascended to the immortal realm?

After Yu Jinchen's explanation, the three of them finally understood what a wandering immortal was.

In the ancient cultivation world, when everyone was striving to cultivate and ascend to the immortal realm, several major sects suddenly received messages from their elders who had already ascended to the immortal realm.

This news dealt a huge blow to all the high-level cultivators on the Lingchuan Continent at that time.

They had always thought that the beauty of the Immortal Realm was just an illusion, because over the past tens of thousands of years, too many people from various cultivation realms had ascended to the upper realm, and the Immortal Realm was already overburdened.

In their quest for cultivation resources, the immortals of the celestial realm resort to any means necessary, and those whose cultivation is even slightly inferior are extremely vulnerable to death at the hands of others.

Seeing that the Immortal Realm was in too much chaos, the major Immortal Venerables gathered together and, after discussion, finally came up with the most effective solution.

That means stationing people at each ascension point, so that all those who ascend to the upper realm will be dealt with immediately.

With the continuous influx of new recruits, the problem of resource scarcity in the immortal realm was resolved.

More than 20,000 years after this incident, a person from the Lingchuan Continent who possessed a divine artifact-level personal space ascended to immortality.

Fortunately, he had a divine artifact-level personal space, which allowed him to rescue several cultivators who had ascended with him in the rush.

After that, these people relied on this personal space to barely evade the pursuit of powerful beings from the immortal realm.

Thinking of the fates of those in their families or sects who had ascended to immortality, these individuals went to great lengths to send back news from the Immortal Realm.

Knowing that ascension would mean their death, all the high-level cultivators in the Lingchuan Realm tried every means to find a way to avoid ascension: to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture during the Mahayana stage.

Cultivators who have mastered the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture can transform their spiritual energy into immortal spiritual power during each tribulation, and after passing the ascension tribulation, they cannot attract the Heavenly Ladder to the Upper Realm.

Without a heavenly ladder, one cannot ascend to immortality; without ascending, one is not a true immortal.

However, they underwent the tribulation of ascension, which made them into demigods.

The Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture has nine levels. After successfully transcending the tribulation at the first level, one becomes a first-level Loose Immortal. After successfully transcending the tribulation at the second level, one becomes a second-level Loose Immortal, and so on, until the highest level, the ninth level. Only when this world can no longer contain one can one ascend to immortality.

The lifespan increase for becoming a Loose Immortal is different from the 300-year increase for each level of cultivation for a cultivator. For each level a Loose Immortal advances, their lifespan increases by 5,000 years.

If you don't want to ascend after reaching the ninth level of cultivation, you can stop cultivating and wait until your lifespan ends before undergoing the ascension tribulation.

It is precisely because of this that, after tens of thousands of years of changes, each of the five major sects has several high-level rogue immortals.

This led the Lingchuan Continent to follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Realm. Due to insufficient cultivation resources, these powerful beings resorted to all sorts of methods.

This caused the once peaceful Lingchuan Continent to become chaotic and turbulent. In just a few hundred years, all the major sects and families on Lingchuan Continent collapsed instantly due to the constant fighting.

Furthermore, the demons and monsters seized the opportunity to invade, leading to years of war between the cultivation world and the demon world, which ultimately resulted in mutual destruction.

After all the powerful beings of the Three Realms were killed in battle, the two sides finally ceased hostilities. The few remaining members of all the sects with low cultivation levels went into hiding for fear of being wiped out in one fell swoop.

The reason why the Lingshan Sect is in this state must be because the remaining people fled in a hurry.

Because all the wandering immortals and high-level cultivators perished, most of the cultivation traditions were broken, and no one knew about the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture anymore.
