Chapter 814: Following for Eternity

Amidst the mountains and forests, a village of dozens of households was nestled. Men farmed and women wove, chickens and dogs roamed about, and wisps of cooking smoke rose into the air, making it seem like a place isolated from the world.

In the woods, behind a large rock, a child about two or three years old was sitting cross-legged, practicing his cultivation.

He had delicate features and a ruddy little face, possessing quite a bit of a girl's elegance.

He was Peerless Jiang.

He had deceived the heavens, faking the drinking of the Lady of Forgetfulness's soup. His memories remained, so he began to Cultivate from birth; however, he hid it very well, and no one discovered it.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

Peerless Jiang immediately opened his eyes and slumped his body against the rock. His eyes instantly turned red and moist, as if he had just finished crying.

A figure arrived before him.

This was an Old Daoist Priest, transformed from Han Jue's Clone. His figure was stooped, but his brow still held a hint of Han Jue's original charm.

Han Jue feigned surprise and muttered, "To think such Skeletal Roots exist in this world!"

He picked Peerless Jiang up and walked toward the mountain village.

Saliva drooled from Peerless Jiang's mouth, and his small hands flailed about, looking pure and adorable.

Inwardly, however, he felt very helpless.

He had encountered this kind of practitioner wanting to take him as a disciple again. Having gone through so many Reincarnations, such situations were not rare, so he didn't panic and planned to deal with it slowly in the future.

Han Jue found Peerless Jiang's parents and declared himself a practitioner willing to take Peerless Jiang as a disciple and teach him within the village. His parents were beyond excited and knelt one after another to express their gratitude to Han Jue.

This matter caused a sensation in the village, and the villagers flocked to watch the excitement.

As time passed, Han Jue integrated into the community. He taught Peerless Jiang how to practice, though he only taught ordinary Cultivation Techniques. To keep up appearances, Peerless Jiang also practiced according to the techniques he was taught.

Twenty years later, the grown Peerless Jiang took his leave, preparing to wander the world. However, Han Jue insisted on following him, which left him very helpless.

Master and disciple began to travel the world… Three thousand years later.

Han Jue's hair was now white as snow, and he stayed with Peerless Jiang in a simple Daoist temple by a river.

Compared to three thousand years ago, Han Jue looked much older. His breath was as thin as silk, and he could barely keep his eyes open.

Peerless Jiang sat cross-legged beside Han Jue, opened his eyes, and said softly, "Master, my time has come."

Han Jue didn't move, so Peerless Jiang had to repeat himself.

"Ah? Your end… Your Aptitude is so high, you became an Immortal long ago… Why is there still an end?" Han Jue asked tremulously, unable to stop himself from coughing after speaking.

Peerless Jiang said, "I don't understand either. Perhaps it is the will of destiny. Heaven bestowed me with talent, but it also stripped away my lifespan."

Han Jue spoke no more.

Peerless Jiang glanced at him, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

Three thousand years of companionship—even a stone would be moved.

In this life, the person he owed the most was his Master.

He didn't tell his Master that he had already attained the God Realm; he was preparing to Pass Away.

Before passing, he suddenly felt a bit reluctant. He wondered what his Master would do after he perished.

His Master only had a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation; his end was likely near as well.

Peerless Jiang felt only a slight pang of guilt, but having gone through a hundred thousand Reincarnations, his Dao Heart was as firm as a rock.

"We'll meet in the next life. No, there is no next life."

Peerless Jiang thought this to himself. He had severed ties with countless kin, wives, and children. Once in Reincarnation, it was very difficult to meet again.

In several hundred cycles of Reincarnation, there might be one accidental meeting, but he never associated with them.

Karma that has been severed should not be reconnected.

Decades later.

Peerless Jiang quietly reincarnated, arriving in another Mortal Realm.

In this life, he was born into a wealthy family.

When he was three years old, snow drifted from the vault of heaven. The world was vast and gray, and white snow covered the city.

Peerless Jiang was quietly practicing in the courtyard when he suddenly heard passing servants chatting about something outside.

"Is that old beggar dead or alive?"

"I'm not sure, but lying at the gate of our manor isn't right either."

"The Master of the house has already sent someone to find a doctor."

Having nothing to do, Peerless Jiang went to watch the excitement.

A group of servants gathered in front of the manor gate, and many commoners were also watching and pointing from the street outside.

Seeing Peerless Jiang come out, a maidservant quickly tried to hold him, but she couldn't stop his desire to see the commotion, so she carried him to the gate.

Peerless Jiang looked at the old beggar lying on the ground, and his brow suddenly furrowed.

"Master?"

Peerless Jiang's expression was strange. Wasn't this his Master from his previous life?

The weak old beggar slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze happened to meet Peerless Jiang's.

The old beggar's eyes suddenly widened, and he flipped up with a carp kick, startling the crowd into retreating.

The old beggar stared fixedly at Peerless Jiang and muttered, "Such Skeletal Roots… there's actually a second person in this world? Could it be the reincarnation of my disciple?"

Hearing this, the young Peerless Jiang's lips twitched slightly.

It really was his Master!

How did this old man find his way here?

To cross a realm in just a few decades?

Peerless Jiang suddenly smelled a conspiracy and instinctively became wary. This was the first time such a thing had happened in his hundred thousand Reincarnations… Ten thousand years passed by.

Han Jue opened his eyes and first looked toward the Heavenly Dao.

Peerless Jiang was still being pestered by his Clone. After they met in the second life, Peerless Jiang was originally very guarded, but later found that his Master had only bumped into him by chance, so the Master and disciple began to wander the world again.

They called it wandering the world, but they were actually finding a place to hide and Cultivate, isolated from the world. Forget enemies, they didn't even have friends.

Han Jue appreciated Peerless Jiang more and more.

This fellow didn't seem human; he was too determined, like a cultivation machine.

To make Peerless Jiang stop doubting his Clone, Han Jue had the Clone swear an oath: "Even through ten thousand lives of Reincarnation, I will surely find my disciple and help him break the shackles of destiny to attain eternal life."

When Peerless Jiang first heard these words, he was terrified.

Was this old man really going to haunt him?

However, the old man only had a Soul Transformation cultivation and shouldn't be able to live much longer.

Once he attained the God Realm, he passed away again.

Before he died, his Master held his hand, tears streaming down his face: "The Heavenly Dao is unfair! The Heavenly Dao is unfair! Why must my disciple die even after becoming an Immortal…"

Peerless Jiang felt a bit bad, but ultimately closed his eyes.

Decades later.

Peerless Jiang was born into the royal family as a prince.

He rejoiced inwardly. Surely that old man couldn't reach him now?

However, when he was five years old, the court welcomed an Immortal, who was none other than his Master.

Different from the previous life, Han Jue in this life looked much younger, appearing to be in his early forties. Peerless Jiang learned that this fellow had actually attained the Taiyi Dao Fruit, his lifespan skyrocketing and his spirit greatly improved.

What dog-shit luck… Just like that, Peerless Jiang was pestered by Han Jue again… In the abyss of the Demonic Path, turbid mist permeated.

Han Tuo and Yi Tian were currently sparring, locked in a stalemate.

Demon Ancestor Lu Yuan suddenly appeared and said, "I have a task for you."

Han Tuo and Yi Tian immediately stopped.

They came before Demon Ancestor Lu Yuan, their faces filled with anticipation.

They had stayed here for too long and had wanted to leave for a long time!

They were not Masters of bitter cultivation by nature; they needed battle, to constantly Breakthrough and exceed their limits through combat!

The update begins!
