Martial Arts Crossover: Me, the Immortal Venerable, Opens a Pawnshop in the Martial Arts World

Once the thought arises,

A layer of mystery suddenly appeared on Yaoyue's stunningly beautiful face, filled with confusion and unable to find peace.

At this moment, the golden beam of light still descended from the sky.

The vast golden light slowly drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensing it into countless tiny, shimmering points of light.

As the light shifted, the faint silhouette of a woman of unparalleled beauty emerged, her jade-like face exquisite, her lips slightly parted, as if whispering softly:

"Fei Peng... Fei Peng..."

In the eyes of Lianxing, Yaoyue, Xu Nian, and others, Ling Tian, ​​who was always calm and composed and never showed any emotion, was a man of great character.

Hearing that faint murmur in the air, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and even a rare hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

finally--

He slowly raised his hand, reaching into the void, his fingertips gently cradling the smooth chin of the phantom woman, his voice low and gentle:

"Xiyao..."

"have not seen you for a long time."

however,

The figure formed from specks of light stubbornly repeated that murmur:

"Fei Peng... Fei Peng..."

Upon seeing this, Ling Tian's eyes welled up with deep pain and regret.

Longkui, dressed in a blue dress, gazed at the illusory figure with a regretful expression and softly comforted him:

"Her soul has been separated for too long, and Sister Xiyao has lost consciousness."

"But brother..."

"As long as her soul remains, there is a chance for them to reunite, or even be completely resurrected!"

With this remark,

Ling Tian's previously somber face suddenly tensed, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, his tone as firm as iron:

"That's right!"

"Xi Yao's soul is still intact!"

"This time, she absolutely cannot leave my side again!"

Although Ling Tian at this moment is a soul that has traveled from another time.

However, the one who carries Ling Tian's memories and inherits all of Ling Tian's past is the true Ling Tian!

Xiyao...

That deep affection, which had spanned a thousand years and always bound Fei Peng, now filled him with endless sorrow.

All around.

As Yaoyue, Lianxing, Xu Nian, and the others gazed at the ethereal phantom of Xi Yao in the sky, and at Ling Tian, ​​who was lost in memories and in a daze, they were all filled with emotion.

turn out to be--

Even a powerful being like General Fei Peng, standing at the pinnacle of the divine realm and invincible, harbored unspeakable regrets and sorrows deep within his heart...

……

The Qin Dynasty.

After a brief, hushed conversation between Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi, Ying Zheng suddenly froze, disbelief flashing in his eyes. He slowly spoke:

"The life of General Fei Peng ended with his death and reincarnation. And the immortal Long Yang, who became his reincarnated form..."

"Shouldn't they have never truly died?"

"Shouldn't the fate of the immortal Longyang continue?"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi's body trembled slightly, and he instinctively responded:

"Since the biographical sketches of General Fei Peng point to his reincarnation as the immortal Long Yang..."

"Then, as long as the immortal Longyang is still alive in the world, this legend should naturally continue to be passed down."

"But--"

Ying Zheng's face was solemn, and his voice was deep and iron-like:

"The life of the immortal Longyang was also frozen in the Battle of Hulao Pass, the moment he died on the battlefield."

"The immortal Fei Peng is about to die, and the immortal Long Yang is also about to die. The life stories of both of them come to an end with death."

"But why... are they still able to make it onto the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking?"

"And why has the reward from the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking suddenly appeared?"

These weighty questions echoed for a long time in the cramped carriage.

Every word fell into the ears of Donghuang Taiyi and Zhao Gao.

This plunged the two, who had just begun to unravel the mystery, into even deeper confusion.

yes……

The fate of the Flying General was revealed because people learned that he had been reincarnated as the Immortal Longyang.

But what about the immortal Longyang?

If memory serves me correctly, the images of his life ultimately show him lying in a pool of blood—clearly dead!

Two lifetimes, two deaths!

Why was the deceased able to ascend to the Heavenly Ranking?

Why are the souls of the dead still granted rewards from the Heavenly Ranking?

How can a dead person be on the list?

How should the deceased be granted titles?

Suddenly—

Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, his pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in a shrill voice:

"Could it be!"

"Both the Divine General Fei Peng and the Immortal Long Yang have long since vanished!"

"The reason they are still listed on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking after their deaths is simply because—their next reincarnations are still alive in the mortal world!"

The reason why Longyang Immortal and Feipeng Divine General were able to be on the list is because their reincarnations still exist in the world.

Their life stories are frozen at the moment of death, precisely because their physical bodies have truly been annihilated.

This hoarse yet sharp guess, like a thunderclap, pierced the minds of Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi.

The impact shook the two men to their core, their thoughts churning, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.

Seeing the two peerless experts stunned by his words, Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, his voice trembling as he said:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant has only spoken presumptuously and speculated. If there are any errors, please forgive me..."

His voice finally roused Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi from their shock.

"No……"

Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him, his face as solemn as an abyss, and said in a deep voice:

"Zhao Gao, you are not wrong."

"The lives of both Immortal Longyang and Divine General Feipeng ended with their deaths."

"Then it is highly likely—that they themselves have indeed perished completely!"

"Even though he is already dead, he can still repeatedly appear on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking..."

"The only explanation is that they have been reincarnated and are still alive today!"

"Only in this way can we, in our past lives and even the lives before that, be listed together on the Heavenly Ranking!"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded heavily, his voice deep and firm:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"Zhao Gao, you are insightful. If you hadn't pointed this out, we would have been unable to grasp the mystery behind it."

"However... if that is indeed the case, then the reincarnated person who now carries the bloodlines of Fei Peng and Long Yang might just be an ordinary mortal."

Seeing that both Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi had praised him, a hint of joy flashed across Zhao Gao's face, but he still cautiously lowered his head and continued carefully:

"He's just a mortal... Is he really worth all this fuss, Your Majesty?"

If his speculation is correct—

In this world, there has never been any Fei Peng Divine General, nor any Long Yang Immortal!

They have long since faded into the dust of history with the passage of time.

The person who now inherits the rewards from the two, though said to be their reincarnation, is probably just an ordinary commoner.

Such an ordinary person, whom even Zhao Gao wouldn't bother to glance at, is actually worthy of being personally welcomed by Ying Zheng, the supreme ruler of the Qin Dynasty?

"No."

Ying Zheng slowly shook his head, his gaze fixed on the spot where the golden pillar of light had dissipated, his tone solemn as iron:

"When the divine general Fei Peng was reincarnated as the immortal Long Yang, strange phenomena appeared in the sky, and he was already extraordinary at the time of his birth."

"Even through countless reincarnations and the passage of time..."

"Such beings might very well have left behind a backup plan!"

"Moreover, he has now received the rewards for second and third place on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, awakened his past life memories, and may already possess some extraordinary power to reappear in the mortal world!"

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes flickered slightly, his thoughts churning, and he murmured:

"The demonic sword's soul awakens... The spirit of the goddess Xi Yao returns to its place!"

"Neither Long Kui, who wields the Demon Sword, nor Xi Yao, the goddess of the heavens, are beings far beyond the reach of ordinary mortals!"

"In that person's identity—the reincarnated bodies of Fei Peng and Long Yang—"

"I suppose Longkui and Xiyao would not harbor any hostility towards him."

"With these two protecting me, even if I live a mediocre and unremarkable life, I can still roam the world freely, and no one can stop me!"
