The test!
The test!
The sound of water droplets echoed in the valley as sunlight passed through a small crack on the cracked upper wall. The sun rising from the east signifies the turn of a new day.
On the eastern outskirts of the Ming Great Empire, there was a valley that was considered a forbidden territory since ancient times. No one knew why the place had become a taboo, not even cultivators who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years knew it!
Many ferocious beasts circled the region like guards. Sometimes there are some people who are less fortunate for trying to figure out what is in the forbidden land, but they end up with tragic conditions.
Inside the valley, there was a young-looking woman lying weakly and there was a pair of men and girls with handsome facial features as well as a beauty with an immortal aura standing nearby.
"Teacher, marry me!" said the man while sobbing.
The weakly lying woman smiled as she said, "Of course I'm willing."
After the answer fell, the man slashed at the neck of the weakly lying woman with the sword in his hand.
"Ding! The host obtained 0.0001% of the cultivation legacy from the projections of the person being killed!"
"...."
The man was silent but tears could be seen flowing from his handsome face with an immortal aura, his eyes that looked at the sky reddened as if hating a destiny they could not fight against.
The beautiful girl standing next to tried to grab the man's shoulder, but her hand seemed to be unable to reach that heavy shoulder. It felt like they were thousands of miles apart, even though the distance between them was only a few footsteps.
"Senior sister ..." the girl tried to call.
But there was no reply from the man, he was still looking at the corpse of Master whom he had killed with his own hands.
The man's silence gave a thousand languages, but there was one thing that came out of his mouth.
"This is their destiny which is not the main character of this world and maybe, I or Junior Sister are also included .." murmured the man in a low voice.
The soft voice of the girl next to him sounded back, "Um ... Senior Brother, can you stop this drama? It's just a Teacher projection anyway,"
The man clicked his tongue and said, "Oh Junior Sister, your senior brother is enjoying a scene that we can rarely do with Master!"
"Gtt!"
Laughter was heard from both of them.
Not long after, they received a sound transmission from a considerable distance.
"NAUGHTY STUDENT!"
The two shuddered for a moment and laughed again. After being satisfied with the laugh, the two mischievous disciples rushed back to the top where their teacher was.
...
Going back to the past, it was precisely the ancient times where cultivation still did not exist.
"God must have cursed us! What's with this human-like creature?!"
"He must be the incarnation of the devil!"
"Yes right, this human-shaped creature will definitely bring disaster to heaven and earth!"
" .... "
Yan Xu heard all sorts of opinions filled with anger and fear as he slowly opened his eyes. Confusing memories pierced into his mind like tens of millions of needles while all sorts of vividly visible memories were quickly channeled into his head.
'Where ... me?'
'What ... happened?'
Various memories were imprinted in his head.
'This .. I am Yan Xu, a human who is regarded as both a demon and the incarnation of the cataclysm for heaven and earth according to these people for having an immortal body, in addition, even though it has been reduced to ashes several times .. I ... can live again?!'
In the middle of the large courtyard, at the Silver Soul Mountain, Yan Xu was surrounded by thousands of humans.
Meanwhile, various kinds of memories kept coming at him ....
In his life, Yan Xu was a human who possessed an immortal body in the sense that the laws of time or death would not be able to affect him.
At first he lived and grew like an ordinary person, but the growth of his body began to stop when he turned 18 years old.
It had already been several years, but Yan Xu's appearance was still the same and over time, it contained the curiosity of others.
They thought that Yan Xu was a descendant of himself, but they grew suspicious as Yan Xu was never seen marrying anyone or carrying a child.
After they found out that Yan Xu was the same age as their ancestors, the villagers that Yan Xu settled in began to treat him as if he had never existed.
Unfortunately, several hundred years later rumors regarding Yan Xu began to scare the surrounding population. Finally, they decided to eliminate Yan Xu from this world.
Once, he was killed with a sword stab and his corpse was burned, but Yan Xu would come back to life as if yesterday nothing had happened.
Both times, he was burned and his ashes scattered into the river, but Yan Xu was still there again after they finished sowing his ashes.
Tens ....
Hundreds ....
Thousands ....
Millions ....
To countless numbers, Yan Xu had already been killed with various types of torture methods every era in hundreds of millions of years, until now when he was awakened as the figure of Yan Xu.
Yan Xu did not know whether to laugh or cry. As he tried to move, he felt pain all over his body from being tightly tied to a 10-foot pole.
"The devil opened his eyes?!"
"What horrible!"
Some people who saw that, started cursing and there were some who spit also throwing stones at him.
Everyone in front of him was a resident who was terrified of Yan Xu's immortality body.
The faces of the people are getting unsightly.
"Devil, how dare you still open your eyes!" said a resident who was in the middle row.
Yan Xu forced himself to remain calm. At this moment, he had no other choice but to receive Yan Xu's memories and immortal body completely.
"Devil, why are you still refusing to leave this world?!"
"Destroyed devil, get out of our world!!!"
"God!!! K ..."
"Enough!" Yan Xu interrupted them.
'I've gained peace in mind. Even though my body is immortal, I still feel terrible pain when I die! Anyhow, I have to find a way to escape these lunatics! Right now my situation is like being a piece of meat on a cutting board and these people will kill me again and again!'
"I ... not .. the devil." Yan Xu had difficulty speaking due to various tortures and his throat was dry because he had not drunk water for a long time.
The residents in front of him widened their eyes, as if they did not expect that the person they had tortured to death all this time finally spoke after thousands of years of silence.
"I ... manu .. sia ..." continued Yan Xu panting.
As the living humans were also tortured since ancient times, Yan Xu's mental state far exceeded the common sense of other humans. However Yan Xu was someone who could adapt quickly, as long as he could escape from these people, at least he would not need to feel pain anymore.
"Liar! If you're human, why are you alive again after we've killed you so many times?!" The residents were getting angrier at Yan Xu's remark, they did not accept being categorized as the same race as beings branded as demons and bearers of doom to heaven and earth.
Yan Xu sighed as he shook his head and said, "I have the same body parts as you, how do you guys refer to me as a demon?"
The expressions of the people changed a little. "Don't equate us with you! We die and go back to the ground and you're the only one who can come back to life!"
Yan Xu's mind was getting excited, the few seconds that passed by was very important for him to think of any way to escape from this crazy population. Residents around this have given the devil's stamp to him, it's useless to ask for mercy and negotiate with them. As the saying goes, 'You will not listen to anything as long as it clogs your ears.' This is how the present condition of the population is no different from their ancestors in the past.
"You guys think I'm a doom-bearer not ...." Yan Xu's eyes explored the faces of the residents in front of him and sure enough, they were more in the direction of fear than anger.
" .... "
"Then let me get away from you all. Wouldn't it be better to stay away from doom than to keep it around you?"
Hearing that, the voice of one of the residents was clearly displeased as he said, "Do you think we don't know what's in your rotten mind? You want to run away, don't you?"
" .... " Yan Xu was still silent.
"Then let him be bound on this hill until the earth swallows him!"
Yan Xu glanced at them as he chuckled and said, "Cowardly."
Thump!
Yan Xu's stomach was struck with a stick three inches thick, outside of him as though he was numb to the pain even though in his heart he roared in pain.
Thump! Thump!
The beating continued until the entire population was satisfied and left Yan Xu still tied to the stake.
'Ugh! It hurts so much!'
'God, what have I done to be punished like this?! I always pray and worship you!'
'God damnit! Show your form! Let me hit your face as compensation for this pain!'
'What should I do now to escape this hell, plus this body is malnourished and watery!'
'Is there a transmigrator more unlucky than me?!'
"Ding! Successfully become Yan Xu!"
"System is officially activated."
'Eh?!' yan Xu's heart trembled.
'I-this ... this must be his strongest cheat!!!'
Yan Xu who was originally sour-faced, became slightly different due to the look of the system.
Unfortunately what he got was not up to expectations.
The system gave rise to the status interface before Yan Xu's eyes.
Name: Yan Xu
Race: The Eternal Man
Cultivation base: First-rate body forging (0.0001%)
Age Rest: Unlimited.
System function: Two sentences parasitic code (By saying ..... and getting answers ... will give the host experience points to increase the cultivation base in some way!) & Transfer of experience (Any experience points earned by the host in the cultivation path, will be given to the teacher as well as the host sibling!)
...
'Really ... during life as a good society, only this time I want to say the oath of absorption to the Gods! Where are the points, tasks, items, gifts and purchase menu functions?! What is it about a system that only has a status menu and two functions?! Did the gods really want to torture me?!'
"Doing an evaluation of the state of the host ...."
"Ding! Host ties eliminated, congratulations on living a new life!"
With that sentence, the rope that bound Yan Xu went missing somewhere and he was finally able to go free. Furthermore nothing happened and Yan Xu's brows had already fused ever since this broken system appeared, well after all he didn't expect much with this trash system.
Although only granted freedom, Yan Xu was already satisfied because of the memories he had received all along.
Without wasting much time, he rushed to run west while looking for something edible as well as river water to drink, of course, water is also used to clean the dirt that has long stuck in his body since hundreds of millions of years ago.
