"Brother, wake up quickly, Mom and Dad are already gone, what will Ying'er do if something happens to you......"
"Brother, Sister Hanlei said Dad was wronged, you must clear Dad's name……"
In a daze, Immortal Yinglong seemed to hear a girl's voice calling, filled with sorrow and deep emotion. Despite the voice being clearly unfamiliar, it made him feel a heartache.
Headache splitting……
Immortal Yinglong felt as if his head was about to explode, his whole body was powerless, and he couldn't even open his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Immortal Yinglong finally opened his eyes. What he saw was a simple white scene: a white ceiling, white lights, everything was both unfamiliar and familiar.
Next, he saw a little girl around fifteen or sixteen years old. The girl was holding his hand, her body leaning on his side, seemingly asleep. Even in her sleep, the girl's face still had traces of dried tears.
Seeing the tear marks on the little girl's face, Immortal Yinglong suddenly felt a pang in his heart, a wrenching pain.
Where is this place? The Immortal Realm? Who is she? Why do I feel so sad and heartbroken seeing her cry? In this unfamiliar place, with an unfamiliar girl and unfamiliar feelings, Immortal Yinglong couldn't help but frown.
Then, a piercing pain shot through his mind, making him want to cry out in pain. A flood of memories suddenly surged in. Under the impact of these unfamiliar memories, Immortal Yinglong fainted in a grand manner. After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually subsided, and Immortal Yinglong opened his eyes again. At this moment, his mind contained a complete set of memories, and these memories of the original owner had fully merged with Immortal Yinglong's consciousness.
Immortal Yinglong muttered to himself, "This place is called Earth? Not the Immortal Realm. There are no immortals or cultivators here, only something called technology. The people here don't have immortal energy, but they can soar through the sky with something called an airplane and explore the deep sea with something called a submarine......"
Based on the unfamiliar memories, Immortal Yinglong knew he was no longer in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm but had been reborn on a small planet called Earth. The name of this body was Xu Yinglong, the eldest grandson of the Xu family in the northern province of China, and a third-year student at Tianhai University.
After merging with Xu Yinglong's memories, Immortal Yinglong gained a detailed understanding of the young man's life. Xu Yinglong came from a very prominent family. His grandfather was a high-ranking military official in the northern province of China, and his father was a vice mayor of Lucheng, ranking quite high, though not a standing committee member, his power and status were no less than that of a regular standing committee member.
Therefore, while the Xu family might not be the top aristocracy in China, their influence in the northern region was not to be underestimated.
Due to the Xu family's small size, by the time it came to Xu Yinglong, there was only one male descendant. As the only heir, Xu Yinglong was a tyrant at home, far surpassing the typical spoiled rich kid. He was involved in all sorts of vices at a young age, and if it weren't for his grandfather, who was a military commander, protecting him, he would have been executed many times over.
Finding himself reborn, Immortal Yinglong couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Emperor Haotian, wait for me, wait for me, Immortal Yinglong to return to the Immortal Realm, and then you will all pay a heavy price for your actions." Immortal Yinglong was originally the first Immortal Lord of the Nine Heavens, second only to the ruler of the Immortal Realm, Emperor Haotian, and in charge of the first Immortal Sect, Yinglong Palace.
Ten thousand years ago, during a journey, Immortal Yinglong accidentally obtained the first treasure of the Nine Heavens, the Chaos Pearl. The Chaos Pearl was an ancient and innate treasure, containing the great Dao principles and forming its own world. It contained countless chaotic energies that could aid cultivation, making it highly effective.
Upon obtaining the Chaos Pearl, Immortal Yinglong was overjoyed and immediately went into seclusion to refine this heaven-defying treasure. However, Emperor Haotian somehow got wind of the news and suddenly attacked Yinglong Palace just as Immortal Yinglong was about to succeed in refining it.
Yinglong Palace hastily defended itself, suffering heavy losses. Immortal Yinglong was forced to break his seclusion to fight Emperor Haotian. In that battle, Immortal Yinglong, wielding the Chaos Pearl, slaughtered in all directions, annihilating a million heavenly soldiers and slaying four of the ten Immortal Lords, and even severely injuring Emperor Haotian.
However, because the Chaos Pearl had not been fully refined, Immortal Yinglong suffered a backlash at a critical moment. He was then attacked by Emperor Haotian and the other four Immortal Lords, and had no choice but to self-destruct his immortal body, carrying a thread of his divine spirit with the Chaos Pearl to escape. Unexpectedly, when he woke up again, he found himself in the mortal world, possessing the body of a young man named Xu Yinglong.
After merging with Xu Yinglong's memories, Immortal Yinglong gained a comprehensive understanding of his current environment. This was a strange planet called Earth. It was strange because Immortal Yinglong, as the first Immortal Lord of the Nine Heavens, knew all the ordinary planets under the Nine Heavens' rule, but he had no memory of this place. Immortal Yinglong was certain that this planet was not recorded in the Mortal World Jade Disc of the Nine Heavens.
Not being recorded in the Mortal World Jade Disc meant it had not been recognized by the Immortal Realm, and a realm not recognized by the Immortal Realm would not have a connection to the Immortal World. A sense of foreboding rose in Immortal Yinglong's heart; this might be an abandoned planet.
Immortal Yinglong closed his eyes and focused for a moment, and indeed, the elemental energy here was abnormally thin, and the air was filled with a large amount of harmful substances. Cultivating in such an environment was a torment, and there would be little achievement.
What worried Immortal Yinglong even more was his own condition. His situation in the Immortal Realm was known as "body snatching," a heaven-defying act. Body snatching was originally the supreme power of extraterrestrial demons, not tolerated by heaven and earth.
Each body snatching required a huge cost and generated boundless karma. Immortal Yinglong carefully examined his body and found that the immortal energy he had cultivated over tens of thousands of cosmic cycles was completely gone. His current strength did not even reach the first level of the Body Strengthening Realm, and many of his meridians were damaged. If he couldn't find medicine to treat his meridians in a short time, it would have a negative impact on his future cultivation.
Moreover, the faint black mist above his head also greatly worried Immortal Yinglong. Although ordinary people couldn't see it, Immortal Yinglong could see it clearly. This black mist was the karma generated by body snatching. Karma is the law of cause and effect; every cause has a corresponding effect.
Doing good deeds earns merit, while doing evil deeds results in karma. Once karma is attached, everything goes wrong, affecting one's fortune, and at critical moments, it can affect one's fate.
In addition to these, Immortal Yinglong also felt three strong attachments in the residual consciousness of this body. The first was to clear his father's name.
From Xu Yinglong's memories, he learned that a powerful figure behind the Xu family suddenly fell from power last year, and the Xu family was implicated. First, the old man suddenly suffered a stroke and had to retire early. Then, an order from the provincial military region sent the old man to the capital for secret treatment, and Xu Yinglong never saw his grandfather again.
Next, his father was investigated for corruption and committed suicide in custody, and his mother, unable to bear the shock, jumped to her death. Xu Yinglong and his sister suddenly became orphans.
Xu Yinglong did not believe his father would embezzle or commit suicide. He knew his father was upright and would speak out against injustice. Even though he himself had done many evil deeds, they were all done behind his father's back, and when things went wrong, his grandfather would step in to protect him, never letting his father know.
Because his father was upright and refused to be corrupt, despite his outstanding abilities and achievements, he only reached the level of vice mayor and was not a standing committee member.
Moreover, Xu Yinglong knew the family's financial situation very well. His father had worked all his life and only earned a house of less than 100 square meters, and the family savings were only 150,000 yuan. How could there be any embezzlement? It was he who had secretly accepted money from businessmen, all behind his father's back.
His father was definitely wronged, and Xu Yinglong was certain of this. Moreover, his father's death in custody was unclear, and Xu Yinglong never saw his father's body until it was cremated. The entire incident was full of mystery. Xu Yinglong was not willing to accept this and wrote a detailed report to the city government, but the next day, he received a call from his fiancée, Yang Ling, saying that there was news about his father's case and asking him to go to room 608 at the Tianlu Hotel, where she had something for him.
Yang Ling was the eldest daughter of the Yang family in the northern province, one year older than Xu Yinglong. The Xu and Yang families had a good relationship and were considered old friends, so Xu Yinglong and Yang Ling were betrothed as children. Upon receiving Yang Ling's call, Xu Yinglong did not suspect anything and immediately drove to the Tianlu Hotel. After entering the room, Yang Ling first poured him a glass of water, then said some trivial things. After drinking the water, Xu Yinglong soon lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was already in the interrogation room of the city police, with handcuffs on his hands. Xu Yinglong was arrested, charged with rape, and the victim was Yang Ling. There were torn clothes and Xu Yinglong's semen at the scene, and several Tianlu Hotel staff members testified, making the evidence overwhelming.
The police officer in charge of the case wanted to close it quickly and forced Xu Yinglong to confess. Although Xu Yinglong was a spoiled rich kid, he was very clear-minded. If he confessed, he would face several or even dozens of years in prison, so he refused to admit it.
Clearly, the police had been instructed. Seeing that Xu Yinglong would not confess, they used their ultimate tactic, taking him to an interrogation room without surveillance and severely interrogating him. Later, Xu Yinglong's memory was lost, and he was clearly beaten to death.
Although the tragic Xu Yinglong's consciousness had dissipated, the strong desire to clear his father's name remained deeply embedded in this body.
The second strong attachment was about a woman named An Ruoxi, a classmate and the top beauty of Tianhai University. Xu Yinglong had been secretly in love with her for a long time, but she never responded to his feelings.
Xu Yinglong's feelings for the top beauty were deep, and he had sworn to marry no one else. Even on the brink of death, he could not forget her, leaving a strong attachment in his heart.
The third strong attachment was left by the tragic Xu Yinglong before his consciousness dissipated. His family suffered a sudden tragedy, his parents died, his grandfather's fate was unknown, and his own life was in danger. Therefore, he was always worried about his young sister.
Reviewing Xu Yinglong's memories, he found that he and his sister had a good relationship. His sister, Xu Ying, was sixteen years old and in her first year of high school, with excellent academic performance. If nothing went wrong, she would definitely be able to get into a good university in three years.
After merging with Xu Yinglong's memories, Immortal Yinglong sighed deeply and muttered to himself, "Don't worry, since I have inherited your body, there is no longer an Immortal Yinglong in this world, only a new Xu Yinglong. I will fulfill your grievances, your hatred, and all your wishes for you."
