Extra Chapter 1: Lin Zhan

Lin Zhan once asked Teacher why he had saved him. Teacher just patted his head and said: “You have a destiny with the Dao, so I will naturally give you a hand.”

Lin Zhan then asked, “Why not accept me as a disciple instead of just letting me learn skills by your side?”

Teacher told him that they were not destined to be master and disciple, so he would not accept Lin Zhan as a disciple.

Lin Zhan has always had someone he admired in his heart, and that person was Teacher. After all, Teacher was not only his savior, but also his mentor and adoptive father, as well as a guiding light that taught him how to conduct himself and gave him the skills needed to survive.

He had no reason not to admire a perfect person like Teacher.

He once mistook this admiration for ‘like.’

Teacher saw through it but never exposed it, just like how Lin Zhan never confessed his feelings to Teacher from beginning to end. They maintained a subtle tacit understanding; neither of them wanted to be the first to pierce that thin paper window—

From Lin Zhan’s point of view, he was naturally worried that after being exposed, he would no longer be able to stay with Teacher again.

But it wasn’t until he died and came to another world that he suddenly understood what Teacher meant.

The meaning of the sentence “Your true fate is not with me.”

Lin Zhan transmigrated into the body of a young man with the same name and surname as him. That young man was a direct disciple of the Lin family in the Five Continents, a cultivation world. He was originally a gifted genius, but unexpectedly, he wasn’t too smart and fell victim to his brothers’ scheme, ultimately suffering Qi deviation and dying.

Lin Zhan complained that this kid was way too simpleminded, while at the same time, he also rejoiced at having a body with the same eight characters as him and whose soul could fuse with his, or else he really would be dead this time.

Lin Zhan was very happy to take over such a body, thus having a brand new identity.

Lin Zhan was very good at adapting, and within a year, he was able to get along like a fish in water in the Five Continents. First, he either killed or exiled those disciples of the Lin family who joined forces to kill the body’s original owner. After avenging such a deep grudge, he set out on a journey, travelling all over the Five Continents with his sword, doing whatever he wanted, determined to visit all the famous mountains and rivers to enjoy the multitude of beautiful scenery this world had to offer.

He experienced anger and joy, made so many friends he couldn’t even count them all, drank with everyone all day long, but could still easily stand at the top of his peers in the Five Continents. Naturally, he made a reputation for himself and gradually gained fame.

It’s just that no one knew that the livelier he was, the lonelier he was.

No one knew about his past, and no one would stand up for him and protect him when he was in danger.

He knew that there were actually thousands of small worlds in this world, and he also knew that to a large extent, it was impossible for him to ever see the Teacher again in this lifetime.

After all, he was an outsider. Even though others saw him as the noblely-dressed Young Master of the Lin family who swept through the Five Continents with his sword, in his heart, he was like a flower that was withering day by day. Apart from barrenness, everything else would soon cease to exist.

In the dead of night, Lin Zhan couldn’t help thinking that if he could see Teacher again one day, he would definitely tell him, Teacher, you’re wrong. Even if my fate is not with you, it will not be with others. You’ve always told me that when I eventually leave you, the life that truly belongs to me will have just begun, but I feel that life without you isn’t all that good.

He wanted to go home.

However, he couldn’t find the way home no matter how hard he tried.

Until one day, Su Mo, the first real friend he made in the Five Continents, told him mysteriously that he had found a way to travel to the Nine Lands.

Su Mo asked him, “Do you have the guts to go with me?”

Lin Zhan smiled. “I will give my life to accompany a gentleman. Since you actually remembered to invite me along, I will go to the Nine Lands with you, even if I have to risk my life.”

The Nine Lands was a legendary world that had been passed down in the Five Continents’ legends from generation to generation. It was a large world where Profound Realm cultivators were everywhere and Primary Realm cultivators were even lower than dogs. That world had the most abundant Qi, the most incredible weapons, the most powerful cultivators, and the most beautiful beauties.

Lin Zhan didn’t have ulterior motives. He simply wanted to go to the Nine Lands to try his luck. What if he could find a way to send himself home?

But right now, both Lin Zhan and Su Mo had yet to realize exactly what it meant to go to the Nine Lands so suddenly with their cultivation realms.

After walking through the spatial passage for three days and three nights, the two of them saw the faintly discernible dawn ahead. They were almost driven crazy in the boundless darkness. That kind of environment where they could neither fly in sky or walk on land really tested people’s mental quality.

The two roared almost madly and ran towards the light, like two lunatics.

However, when they appeared outside the spatial passage, the scene shocked the two of them——

A fierce battle was underway, with several cultivators holding magic weapons scattered in various directions and fighting against a demonic beast that resembled a dragon and was covered in thorns. The scene was very gruesome, and from time to time, some cultivators were hit by this demonic beast and smashed into pulp.

Su Mo almost landed in the center of the battlefield, but fortunately Lin Zhan pulled him away.

The demonic beast let out a crazed roar, and a strong gale rushed out in all directions. Lin Zhan and Su Mo’s hands that were originally held together were forcefully separated by this gale, and Lin Zhan could only watch helplessly as Su Mo was flung away by the demonic beast’s tail and was thrown to the edge of the cliff before disappearing from his sight.

Lin Zhan let out a roar, then turned around and stabbed the demonic beast in the eye with his sword. The demonic beast’s attention was probably all focused on the group of cultivators wearing enchanted robes who had dealt it a fierce blow, ignoring Lin Zhan, which allowed Lin Zhan to suddenly succeed.

Blood splattered all over Lin Zhan’s face. He pulled his sword out and laughed wildly with his head back, before the demonic beast used its head to knock him away.

There was a sharp pain in his Dantian, then he passed out.

Lin Zhan’s luck could be said to be excellent. He took action because he was angry that Su Mo was attacked. Although he didn’t kill the demonic beast, he gave the other cultivators a little breathing space, ultimately reversing the situation and allowing them to finally kill the demonic beast that had brought disaster for many years.

Although Lin Zhan’s origin was unknown, those cultivators weren’t people who didn’t repay favours, so they picked up the heavily injured and unconscious Lin Zhan and took him back with them.

When Lin Zhan woke up, he was lying down on a bed. When he got out of bed, he felt that his Dantian was empty, and he couldn’t use any Qi, as if he had become a cripple.

Soon someone pushed open the door and entered.

The visitor was a woman whose clothes were completely different from that of the Five Continents. When she saw Lin Zhan walking around, she immediately stepped forward and said, “Why did Daoist Lord get out of bed and walk around? You suffered serious injuries and need to lie on the bed and recuperate.”

Lin Zhan looked at her for a moment and asked, “Where is this?”

The woman said, “This is the Eastern Land. The place where you live now is a small courtyard of General Zhuang’s. That day, you met a demon-eliminating team under the General’s command and were brought back by them.”

Lin Zhan lowered his eyes and asked, “Where’s the person who was with me?”

“This humble servant only saw Daoist Lord. She didn’t see anyone else.”

Lin Zhan looked up. “I want to meet your master.”

News that the beauty who had slept in the small courtyard for a long time finally woke up quickly reached Zhuang Xinglan’s ears.

That night, Lin Zhan met the legendary General Zhuang.

Zhuang Xinglan had a baby face, looking very jovial and naturally fond of laughter and liveliness. He didn’t put on much airs around Lin Zhan.

Zhuang Xinglan asked, “What’s your name?”

Lin Zhan reported his name.

Zhuang Xinglan then asked, “What’s your courtesy name?”

Lin Zhan opened his mouth and was about to say that he had no courtesy name when he suddenly remembered the Teacher.

So he said, “My courtesy name is Guangling.”

At that time, no one knew how much uproar the name Lin Guangling would cause in the entire Nine Lands.

Lin Zhan asked Zhuang Xinglan another question that the maidservant couldn’t answer.

Zhuang Xinglan said, “He’s nowhere to be found. My people even went to the bottom of the cliff to search for him, but they couldn’t find anything. This demonic beast is very powerful. Before we pursued and killed it, we specifically asked the surrounding citizens to evacuate. Who knew that you two would suddenly emerge from midair and coincidentally fall into the battlefield? So I couldn’t save... Ah, your friend was unlucky.”

Su Mo was dead?

Lin Zhan felt a chill in his heart and somehow returned to bed, laid down, and closed his eyes.

His only friend in the Nine Lands died so suddenly.

Lin Zhan felt at a loss and didn’t even know what to do next.

General Zhuang’s residence naturally didn’t welcome freeloaders.

Although Zhuang Xinglan himself didn’t mind very much, many of his followers and subordinates, over time, all had complaints about Lin Zhan.

“Every day, he lazes around as if in a daze. He only knows how to drink. He’s about to ruin the reputation of the General’s residence.”

“That’s right, it’s fine if he’s just drunk, but after getting drunk, he insists on going to the streets to find someone. It’s fine if he was simply looking for someone, but he even wears the clothes of our General’s residence. It’s embarrassing!”

Zhuang Xinglan waved his hand. “Forget it, it’s normal for him to feel uncomfortable after his friend died.”

The subordinate replied, “It’s been almost six months now. Even if his wife died, he should’ve just about gotten over it, right? Don’t tell me we have to let him continue acting like this?”

Zhuang Xinglan shook his head. “It’s not just because of that.”

Zhuang Xinglan knew why.

Lin Zhan’s cultivation was almost completely crippled.

It wasn’t impossible to restore his Dantian if a cultivator who reached the Earth Realm was willing to exhaust their energy and cultivation to mend his broken tendons and Dantian for him.

But even in the entire Nine Lands, the number of Earth Realm cultivators could be counted with two hands, and all of them were high-ranking and powerful people. Who would be willing to put in all that effort for a useless person with unknown origins?

To put it bluntly, he was nothing but an ant. Even if he died today, no one would shed a single tear for him.

Zhuang Xinglan sympathized with Lin Zhan in his heart, but there was nothing he could do except give him a shelter from the wind and rain.

Zhuang Xinglan naturally didn’t chase Lin Zhan away. Even if Lin Zhan was a cripple, he could still afford to support him.

Not long after, Zhuang Xinglan was going to the frontier to inspect the army. As soon as he left, those in the mansion who didn’t like Lin Zhan tried every means to drive him out of the residence.

After being forcefully knocked unconscious by someone, Lin Zhan was directly taken to the most famous brothel in the entire Eastern Land’s capital.

When he woke up, he was wearing an almost transparent dark red gauze dress. His long hair was loose behind him, and his hands and feet were bound to the four pillars of the bed, tightening as he struggled.

Lin Zhan smelled an indistinct fragrance, and it didn’t take long before he realized what its purpose was.
