2: Chapter 2 The Reborn

At the same time, on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, a small figure was slowly trekking along.

"Xiao Yuan, Bai Yue, you two probably never imagined I would be reborn!"

"In this life, I will let you know the meaning of pain and despair!"

Lu Jinghan gazed at the highest Peak in the distance, his eyes filled with determination.

He was the renowned Venerable Jinghan from a hundred thousand years in the future.

As a Peak Undergoing Tribulation Realm expert, he had been exploring a Secret Realm suspected to be left by an Immortal with two of his closest friends.

He had originally intended to share the treasures he obtained with the two of them.

But he never expected that they would want to seize his portion as well.

Finally, at a dangerous location within the Secret Realm, he was ambushed by Xiao Yuan and Bai Yue working together, causing him to be heavily injured and fall unconscious.

When he woke up again, he had returned to the present, a hundred thousand years ago, before he had even stepped onto the path of cultivation.

"Now that I have all the memories of my previous life, in this life, I will make up for all my regrets."

Since he was starting over, Lu Jinghan believed he could surely avoid all calamities and dangers.

After all, he possessed the knowledge of the times and locations where all the Opportunities and treasures would appear throughout these hundred thousand years.

By preparing in advance and acquiring them, he would surely be able to quickly return to the Undergoing Tribulation Realm and even save his friends from his youth.

He hailed from the Southern Barrens and remembered clearly.

Within these Ten Thousand Mountains, there lay the ruins of an ancient Sect.

In his memories, this ancient Sect ruin had not fully opened in his previous life; only a side hall had been accessible.

But even that contained many supreme treasures and resources.

In his previous life, it was by obtaining an Opportunity there that he successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Undergoing Tribulation Realm.

Moreover, that side hall seemed to have remained open all along.

It was just that no one explored the Ten Thousand Mountains, so no one knew about it.

It wasn't until two Undergoing Tribulation experts had a duel here that the shockwaves of their battle caused the ruins to be revealed to the world.

Now, as long as he found the ruins ahead of time, he would surely be able to quickly restore his previous life's cultivation and seek revenge on those two traitors.

At this moment, Lu Jinghan's Realm was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Even though he knew the specific location of the Kunlun Sect ruins, it would still take some time to get there.

Fortunately, there were basically no Yao Beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

This allowed Lu Jinghan to safely reach the foot of that highest Peak within two months.

After searching carefully, Lu Jinghan found an ancient stone pillar in a hidden spot, with the words 'Kunlun' carved upon it.

"It really is here."

This was the first time a smile had appeared on Lu Jinghan's face since his Rebirth.

Next, Lu Jinghan began to climb the highest Peak among the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Six double-hours later, Lu Jinghan finally reached the absolute summit.

Before he could even catch his breath, he was stunned by the sight before him.

The dilapidated and lonely hall from his memories was nowhere to be found.

In its place stood a majestic and grand jade mountain gate, quietly standing at the edge of a sea of clouds.

Above the gate, the two characters 'Kunlun' were written with vigorous strokes, as if formed naturally by Dao marks, imprinting themselves deeply into his eyes.

"What is going on?"

Lu Jinghan's heart shook violently, and a chill rose from his spine.

"Did I come too early, and this ancient ruin hasn't reached the time to appear in the world yet? Or does it require an Undergoing Tribulation Realm powerhouse to open the true entrance?"

"Could it be that my Rebirth has unintentionally disturbed some Karma?"

He stepped forward slowly, scrutinizing the mountain gate.

Its Aura was magnificent, and Dao charms flowed around it; how did this look like a ruined site that had been silent for eons?

It clearly looked more like the mountain gate of some top-tier Sect at the height of its power!

Even stranger was when he focused his gaze inside the mountain gate.

What he saw was still the ordinary scenery of the Ten Thousand Mountains—rolling Peaks and drifting clouds, no different from before.

"Could it be..." A guess gradually took shape in his mind.

Lu Jinghan no longer hesitated and strode toward the mountain gate.

As he took a step across that invisible boundary,

his entire figure vanished into thin air before the mountain gate, as if merging into a water curtain.

In the next moment, heaven and earth changed abruptly.

He opened his eyes to look, and even though he had expected it, the sight before him still made his breath hitch.

Immortal mountains floated in the air, spiritual springs circled about, clouds and mist formed a sea, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it had almost materialized.

This was clearly a blessed land that was a world unto itself.

Its Aura was extremely similar to that suspected Immortal's residence he had encountered in his previous life.

"Could this place be the work of an Immortal?"

Lu Jinghan's eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.

In his previous life, although the Kunlun ruins hadn't fully opened, he had seen its general layout.

Broken walls, crumbling ruins, and mottled ancient formations—everywhere exuded decay and desolation.

Yet the place before him was filled with rising mist and glowing clouds, vibrant with Dao charms, and as full of life as the rising morning sun.

This was simply not the same place.

At this time, Jiang Changge was already aware of Lu Jinghan's arrival.

Since the System had rebuilt the Kunlun Sect, Jiang Changge had named this Realm the Kunlun Realm.

As the Lord of Kunlun, the entire Kunlun Mountain was within the range of his perception.

As early as when Lu Jinghan discovered the stone pillar carved with the word 'Kunlun' at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Changge had detected him.

And he had learned all of Lu Jinghan's information from the System.

[Ding! A person of destiny has been detected. Host, please go and take him as a Disciple.]

[Name: Lu Jinghan]

[Age: Sixteen]

[Physique: Space-Time Dao Body (Incomplete, unawakened, burdened with great Karma)]

[Aptitude: Heaven Rank]

[Heart-Nature: Excellent]

[Experience: A Rebirth user, a Peak Undergoing Tribulation expert from a hundred thousand years in the future. While exploring an Immortal ruin, he was tragically betrayed by his close friends, who not only seized his treasures but also gouged out his Origin. Fortunately, he obtained a fragment of a Reincarnation Stone in the ruin, which activated his Space-Time Dao Body, allowing him to be reborn a hundred thousand years in the past. He has come this time to find the ancient Kunlun Sect ruins...]

When Jiang Changge saw Lu Jinghan's information, he also sucked in a breath of cold air.

A Rebirth user, Space-Time Dao Body, Heaven Rank Aptitude, Peak Undergoing Tribulation...

Such a good prospect had actually delivered himself to the door.

Since he is destined to meet me, I should take him as a Disciple and have him join my Kunlun Sect.

Although Lu Jinghan carried great Karma, as a Transmigration user with a cheat-like System, Jiang Changge naturally wouldn't care.

He just wondered what the System's rewards would be after taking him as a Disciple.

While Lu Jinghan was still shocked by the Kunlun Immortal Realm, a voice rang out from afar.

He saw Jiang Changge, dressed in white, walking through the air with his hands behind his back.

"Young man, have you come seeking the Way of the Immortals?"

Jiang Changge looked at Lu Jinghan with a calm expression, possessing the Aura of a peerless powerhouse.

According to the System, as the Lord of Kunlun, he was an invincible existence within the Kunlun Small World.

Even a Peak Undergoing Tribulation expert could be killed with a single strike.

At this moment, Lu Jinghan was already shaken by Jiang Changge's Aura.

Even though he was currently just a youth at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he had been a Peak Undergoing Tribulation powerhouse in his previous life.

To him, the person before him was more mysterious and powerful than any Undergoing Tribulation expert he had ever seen.

Therefore, Lu Jinghan remained extremely vigilant when facing Jiang Changge.

When he explored the Kunlun Sect ruins in his previous life, he had encountered illusions.

The magnificent mountain gate he had just seen, this Immortal Realm-like Small World,

and this youth before him who was even more powerful than a Peak Undergoing Tribulation expert.

Perhaps he had fallen into an illusion once again.

Lu Jinghan was well-prepared for illusions.

Although he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, his current Spiritual Qi was barely enough to support the activation of a secret technique to break illusions—the Anger-Startling Pupil!
