Chapter 29

Seeing Lin Zheng's heart-wrenching sobs, it was as if the most tender strings of people's hearts were touched! The children, one by one, with red-rimmed eyes, started to cry, and several middle-aged women couldn't help but shed tears! Looking at Lin Zheng in front of him, his feet couldn't move, the kind wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were streaked with tears, as if he had experienced a great surprise, and could only express it with tears!

A burly man walked out from the crowd, grabbed Lin Zheng from the ground, and roared, "It's good that you're back, really! It's good that you're back! Wow, I'm so happy, I'm so happy!" The big man pounded his chest several times, hot tears rolling down his dark face and onto his chest, then he hugged Lin Zheng tightly and patted his back fiercely!

"Uncle Hong! You're still as strong as ever! But you're using too much force!" Lin Zheng, still with tears on his face, said to the big man as he emerged from his embrace!

The big man wiped his face roughly, gave Lin Zheng a light punch, and pulled him to the front of the crowd. The crowd surrounded Lin Zheng, asking questions one after another, but amidst the noise, Lin Zheng couldn't hear a single word clearly. He just looked at the familiar faces and listened to the noisy chatter, feeling a sense of happiness filling his heart!

After a while, the crowd finally quieted down. Shen Suanzi, swaying, walked to Lin Zheng's side and carefully examined him, his eyes filled with kindness. He patted Lin Zheng's shoulder and said, "You're back, right? Come, let's go to the hall to talk!"

The crowd agreed and escorted Lin Zheng to the village hall. Once everyone was seated, Lin Zheng recounted in detail what had happened over the past three years, leaving out only the part about Li Ruoshui, and told everything else without reservation!

"The Three Lives Stone has entered your body?" Lin Zheng's uncle, Lin Chu, asked. Lin Chu, dressed in rough hemp clothes, still couldn't hide his charm!

"Yes, I regained half of my memory and woke up, then I found that the Three Lives Stone had already entered my body, and no matter how I called it, it wouldn't respond!"

"Hmm, that's normal. The Three Lives Stone is extremely mysterious, and no one in the world has ever fully understood it. However, it doesn't seem to have any negative effects for now!"

"Wait, why did you only regain half of your memory? What memories do you have?" Lin Zheng's second uncle, Yue Xu, asked.

"Memories before I was twelve, and everything before my brother and sister were surrounded by the Destruction Path, Heaven-Mixing Path, and Void Path. I can't remember anything after that. I only remember a few words my sister said about Uncle Ghost Lord, but the rest is a blank!"

"Uncle Three, what do you think?" Lin Zheng's uncle, Lin Chu, asked Shen Suanzi. Shen Suanzi, whose real name is Lin Tong, is Lin Zheng's third grandfather and a master of divination with mysterious and unfathomable skills!

"Before, I divined for Little Zheng, but as everyone knows, Little Zheng is actually someone who has already died. The divination has changed, and I don't know who used a heaven-defying technique to bring Little Zheng to this wilderness after ten thousand years. His body is full of variables, and I can't divine now, nor can I get accurate information even if I do!" Shen Suanzi said helplessly!

"Really, even Uncle Three can't divine?" Lin Chu was surprised, knowing well Shen Suanzi's cultivation, which, though restricted, remains mysterious and unfathomable!

"Alas, I can't divine, and I can't say. Let's put this aside for now. In any case, there's no harm to Little Zheng for now!"

Hearing this, everyone was reassured, as they had never doubted the words of this elder!

The crowd asked more questions, and Lin Zheng answered them one by one. After everyone's doubts were dispelled, Lin Zheng asked, "How did I end up in the village? How did everyone get here? How did everyone spend these ten thousand years? How are my brother and sister, Sister Xiao Ran, and Brother Yue Zhan? What about my parents? What about the other clan members?"

Lin Zheng asked several questions in a row, his eyes burning with passion!

"Alas, let me tell you. Let me think about where to start," Lin Zheng's uncle, Lin Chu, paused for a moment and then continued, "Do you remember when you were pierced by an arrow?"

Lin Zheng nodded; his clear memory only went up to that point.

"Actually, you didn't die completely at that time, just your physical body temporarily died. After you were injured, your brother Lin Ao sacrificed himself to transform into a demon, his cultivation greatly increased, and he became the best among the young generation at that time. After his cultivation reversed, he killed thousands of people alone, but he was also severely injured and barely survived. He was later saved by a mysterious expert! Your sister, holding you, was pushed by your brother to the passage to the Ghost Realm. You two were very lucky to be saved by Ghost Lord, who used great power to preserve your physical body and refined the Ghost God Pill to save your life, though it was uncertain when you would wake up! Later, Yuyan learned about our whereabouts in the Heavenly Realm and went there alone, but she was ambushed by experts from the Destruction Path!"

"What happened next? What about my sister?" Lin Zheng asked anxiously!

Lin Chu waved his hand to calm Lin Zheng and continued, "Just as Yuyan was about to perish, a powerful expert appeared, a man with overwhelming demonic aura and divine power, who wiped out everyone in a moment and saved your sister!"

"Was it my brother?"

"Yes, after being saved by the mysterious person, your brother's life was safe, and his cultivation greatly increased! However, he seemed unaware that you had been saved, and he went on a secret and relentless revenge against all the families that had attacked us. Whether in the Heavenly Realm, Ghost Realm, Spirit Mountain, or Demon Realm, he acted alone. To kill a senior of the Destruction Path, he chased from the west to the east of the Heavenly Realm, and all the families that sheltered the senior were mercilessly wiped out by your brother. Everyone who saw him said your brother was like a devil! To avenge the Lin and Yue families, your brother killed countless people in a few years, and his actions were recognized by the Heavenly Realm cultivators. He was known for repaying kindness and avenging wrongs, and he acted with integrity. Later, due to his many astonishing deeds, your brother was revered as a Ghost Hero!"

"After saving your sister, he went with her to the Heavenly Realm to find us. At that time, our entire clan gathered in the Third Realm to avoid being hunted! We occasionally came out to search for the remaining clan members. You must know that our clan was scattered, and many附属 families suffered great impacts, and our remaining strength was too weak, so we had to hide in the Third Realm, not being found!"

"The Third Realm is still in our hands? Wasn't it said that the Third Realm had completely shattered and disappeared in the ancient era?"

"No, it was discovered by your father. However, the Third Realm is already completely shattered, leaving only an incomplete world, but it is still awe-inspiring, as it was once a world! Later, we found that time in this world is much slower than in the Heavenly Realm, with one day in the Third Realm equaling a hundred days outside! The exact time flow cannot be determined, as the world is broken and many laws are incomplete!"

"No wonder I feel that everyone hasn't experienced much time!"

"Yes, we lived in the Third Realm for a long time, and more clan members came. We also interacted with the outside world, but it was highly confidential. You must know that the existence of such a heaven-defying Third Realm, if known by the world, would cause a huge storm! For several decades, we lived in the Third Realm, but you must know that maintaining the stability of the Third Realm required an unimaginable amount of resources. Even with the wealth of our two families, we became financially strained after several decades. By then, a thousand years had passed in the outside world, and after discussion, our two families decided to leave the Third Realm!"

"At first, due to the long time, we were not recognized by the world, and we were very secretive and low-profile. Tens of thousands of clan members found a secluded mountain as a base, and everyone started to cultivate and reproduce, hoping for your father and the clan's experts to return! However, about a hundred years ago, we were discovered, and the three paths attacked our two families. Fortunately, we were well-prepared and did not suffer much loss. Many great sages who had ties with our family had returned, and with the help of many family friends, we overcame the first crisis! But a greater disaster followed!"

"Because of the Third Realm?" Lin Zheng asked calmly!

"Yes, because of the Third Realm. You must know that nearly ten thousand years had passed, and our appearances had not changed much. The Heavenly Realm had changed greatly over ten thousand years, and we often exposed flaws! Your brother did not live in the Third Realm all the time. For thousands of years, he was in the Heavenly Realm, guiding our family's descendants, constantly fighting, and avenging. His name as a Ghost Hero became increasingly famous, and even in this realm, your brother's name was known by the world. This was due to his thousands of years of relentless fighting, and he had not fallen for a thousand years, making him one of the greatest legends since ancient times! Later, the three paths, along with hundreds of Heavenly Realm sects, launched a joint attack. The matter of the Third Realm became too big to control, and even some of our former allies, tempted by the great rewards, showed their true colors!"

"After that, countless people flocked, but no one dared to make a move due to your brother's reputation over thousands of years. They just lurked around our family. Moreover, the foundation of our Lin and Yue families was not something they could compare to. Many young people had risen, and we old ones were still alive. Your third grandfather and others had returned to the clan over the years. If we really went all out, they might not be able to handle it! Besides, they were afraid we would destroy the Third Realm! So, a stalemate lasted for a long time, and even for a year, everyone was in a deadlock! But this was just the calm before the storm, and a great chaos was about to begin!"

Lin Chu paused here, seemingly recalling the past. The others also fell silent, remembering the extremely difficult and unforgettable times of the Lin and Yue families!

Lin Zheng clenched his teeth tightly, his fists clenched, his body as immovable as a rock, his breathing becoming faint, afraid to stir the unbearable pain in his heart. Slowly, he raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and his eyes turned red, as if trying to see through the roof and into the heavens!

Wait for me, I will definitely return! I will definitely! I will return as a great hero! I will step on the seven-colored cloud! I will be invincible! I will break all the shackles!

So! So! Please wait for me a little longer! My clan members!
