2: Reborn 500 years later, refused to cancel the engagement

"[System activated successfully. This System activation took a total of one hundred years. The activation speed defeated 0.01% of the Blue Star Systems in the entire Universe. Please don't be discouraged!]

"Oh, your mother's head! I'm already dead, what good are you now?!"

"[Ah, is Master dead?]" the System asked, surprised.

Lin Yang: "9!"

"[It's alright. I will now sacrifice ninety percent of Master's next life's Lifespan in exchange for one opportunity for Master to be Reborn five hundred years later.]"

Lin Yang: "???"

"[Off we go!]

"Ah?!"

......

Five hundred years later.

Eastern Desolation, Saint Essence Sect.

Daozi Peak.

Immortal cranes danced, celestial palaces floated, and misty light swirled, creating dazzling streaks of color.

Lin Yang stood with his hands behind his back on the mountain peak, his posture tall and straight, his white robes rustling in the wind, his long black hair fluttering, and his deep eyes gazing at the distant sky, exuding an indescribable handsomeness and elegance.

"So handsome!"

At the foot of the mountain, numerous Saint Essence Sect Disciples looked up at the figure on the mountain, their eyes filled with worship and admiration.

"As expected of the youngest among our Saint Essence Sect's Four Daozi!"

"It's Senior Brother Lin Yang standing on the peak, yet it feels like a peerless treasured sword is plunged into the mountain, so sharp!"

Disciples passing by all discussed animatedly, captivated by the young figure on the mountain.

However, what they didn't know was that Lin Yang, revered by countless Saint Essence Sect Disciples, was already in tears at this moment.

"It's been eighteen years, do you know how I spent these eighteen years?!"

Six hundred years ago, he Transmigrated to this world, originally thinking he could achieve great things, just like many Seniors in the Transmigration world, and accomplish something earth-shattering.

Who would have thought, a Moonlight Goddess inexplicably fell from the sky, captured him, and imprisoned him on a mountain peak for a full hundred years, not releasing him until the day he kicked the bucket.

He thought his Transmigration life had ended there.

However, heaven never seals off all exits. After his death, he actually Awakened a System and gained another chance to be Reborn five hundred years later.

But this System was too damn much of a scam. Rebirth actually required sacrificing Lifespan, and what's more, it was his own Lifespan from this life.

Thus, from the moment he was still an embryo in his mother's womb, he had less than ten years of Lifespan left!

To survive, Lin Yang began to desperately Cultivate after emerging from his mother's womb, hoping to compensate for the sacrificed Lifespan by raising his Realm.

Fortunately, his Family background in this life was good. He was a direct Bloodline descendant of the Lin Clan, one of the three great Families in the Cloud Utmost Empire, and could utilize quite a lot of Cultivation resources.

Moreover, as a Transmigrator and having lived three lives, his Cultivation talent was also extraordinarily powerful.

He started Qi Refining before being weaned at one year old, successfully condensed a spiritual Qi vortex at six, instantly becoming the youngest Martial Artist in the Lin Family's history!

At the age of ten, Lin Yang Breakthrough again, becoming a Martial Master, shaking the Cloud Utmost Empire and attracting the attention of the top Sect in the Eastern Desolation—the Saint Essence Sect.

After joining the Saint Essence Sect, in just five short years, Lin Yang broke through two Realms like a hot knife through butter, becoming the youngest Spirit Rank Martial Artist in the Sect in a thousand years, astonishing everyone in the Saint Essence Sect.

Even Sect Master Mu Yunxi, who had never taken a Disciple, made an exception and accepted Lin Yang as her Personal Disciple out of appreciation for his talent.

Two and a half years later!

At eighteen, Lin Yang had not only compensated for the Lifespan sacrificed by the System but also, under Mu Yunxi's careful tutelage, made rapid progress in his Cultivation, reaching his current nine-star Spirit Rank Martial Artist Realm.

He was only one step away from Breaking through to the Martial King Realm.

Cultivation Realms are divided into: Qi Refining, Martial Artist, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial Spirit, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, Martial God.

The Martial King Realm is a huge watershed on the path of Cultivation.

As long as a Martial Artist's Cultivation reaches the Martial King Realm, they can transform their spiritual energy into wings, gaining the ability to soar through the heavens and earth!

However, this Realm is also extremely difficult to Breakthrough. Throughout history, countless Cultivation Geniuses have been stuck at the end of the Martial Spirit level, never truly taking that step until the day they died.

To help Lin Yang take this step, Sect Master Mu Yunxi decided to open the ancestral land trial for him in a few days.

Once successful, Lin Yang would not only smoothly Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm but would also be officially appointed as the Young Sect Master of the Saint Essence Sect, destined to succeed the Sect Master position of the Saint Essence Sect in the future!

However, all of this had a prerequisite.

That was, Lin Yang had to annul his current engagement.

It turned out that when Lin Yang was just born, his grandfather had arranged a child marriage for him.

The object of the child marriage was the youngest direct daughter of the Nangong Family, another Family belonging to the Cloud Utmost Empire.

Nangong Xueli.

This Nangong Xueli was originally also a favored Genius, not only outstanding in appearance but also astonishingly talented in Cultivation, not inferior to Lin Yang.

But for some unknown reason, five years ago.

Nangong Xueli suddenly lost all her Cultivation, falling from a Genius to a Trash overnight. She also frequently talked to a mysterious ring on her hand, making everyone around her think she had gone mad from the sudden blow.

Now, in the Nangong Family, the half-mad, half-foolish Nangong Xueli had almost become an existence even dogs despised.

And as time passed, Nangong Xueli was also about to turn eighteen.

Once she reached eighteen, the engagement between the two would immediately become effective.

But their Saint Essence Sect was a top Sect in the Eastern Desolation. How could they tolerate the Sect Master's Personal Disciple having such a half-mad, half-foolish waste as a fiancée, existing as a blemish?

For this reason, many Elders within the Sect unanimously decided that Lin Yang must annul this engagement.

As for compensation?

Whatever the Nangong Family wanted, they would give.

However, when Lin Yang received the Elders' command, his face was full of bitterness.

Lost all Cultivation overnight?

Still has a ring on her hand?

And is about to be visited for an annulment?

"Your mother's kiss, how dare I annul this marriage..."

Lin Yang's heart was in a panic after hearing the news.

This was clearly a Daughter of Destiny!

Annulment was impossible, it would never happen in this life!

So, Lin Yang decisively made a decision that went against his ancestors.

Not only did he not annul the engagement as per his Sect's request, but he also bit his fingertip and wrote a letter full of concerned words with his blood.

"Protector Yun Feng!"

The Void Realm twisted, and a Martial Ancestor Realm Saint Essence Sect expert stepped out slowly, cupping his hands in a bow to Lin Yang and saying, "Daozi, what are your orders?"

"Protector Yun Feng, immediately send this letter to the Nangong Family in Black Cloud City, and make sure to personally deliver it into Nangong Xueli's hands."

Lin Yang sealed the blood-written letter and took off his spatial ring, which contained half of his accumulated wealth to date, handing it all to the Martial Ancestor Realm Protector before him.

"You must not delay on the way!" Lin Yang repeatedly urged, uneasy.

"Yun Feng understands!"

Yun Feng solemnly agreed, and then immediately stepped through the Void Realm and left.

After Yun Feng left, the more Lin Yang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He was a Transmigrator, shouldn't the person of destiny be himself?

What was going on with this little wife from the Nangong Family?

Suddenly, Lin Yang realized something, and his eye twitched slightly.

"You dog System, you're not a villain System, are you?!"

"[Oh my! Master, what are you doing~ How can you slander me out of nowhere?]

[I am a great and good System! *whimpers*~]"
