I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

The female Taoist nun, whose innocence had been taken by Fang Yuan, roared angrily, her eyes blazing with murderous intent. Only by killing Fang Yuan could the secret from back then be completely kept secret.

"Spring and Autumn Cicada, ranked seventh in the world, Old Demon Fang, hand it over, and I can send you on your way peacefully, and let you be reborn into a good family in your next life." A seventh-level Gu cultivator spoke.

This was an old man, whose strength was comparable to that of a cultivator in the Crimson Realm. A seventh-level Gu cultivator was even rarer than a sixth-level one, which was why Fang Yuan couldn't escape. The level difference here was simply too great; a difference of one realm was not so easy to overcome.

Moreover, the Spring and Autumn Cicada had just been refined and had not yet been fused with the ingredients when the other party came knocking on our door.

If he could fuse with the Spring and Autumn Cicada, he might be able to break through to the seventh rank. Unfortunately, he's just a little short.

"Heh, you want my Spring and Autumn Cicada? You think you're worthy?"

"Remember, it's not that you beat me today, it's that I don't want to play anymore."

"One more thing, this game isn't over yet, and I, Fang Yuan, will be back sooner or later."

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he sighed and looked up at the sky, his expression a mixture of reluctance, relief, struggle, and a range of other emotions.

Ultimately, under the watchful eye of the uncensored M, it directly detonated its own essence.

The self-destruction of a sixth-level Gu Immortal is extremely powerful; even a seventh-level cultivator wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on.

No one expected that Fang Laomo would ultimately choose to self-destruct instead of resisting.

Some people speculated that Fang Yuan might have used the Spring and Autumn Cicada to reverse time, but others thought it was unlikely.

The power of time is mysterious and immense; even the cicadas of spring and autumn may not be able to achieve it, and no one has ever succeeded in doing so throughout history.

Although the cicada of spring and autumn ranks seventh, it has always been a legendary insect.

Legend has it that there exists a River of Time in this world, which sustains the flow of this world.

By harnessing the power of the cicadas of spring and autumn, one can go against the current, return to the past, change regrets, and start anew.

But that's just a legend.

Because every time the Spring and Autumn Cicada is used, one must give up one's life, sacrificing one's entire body and all one's cultivation as the driving force.

The price is far too high, and what's even more unacceptable is that often the price is life itself, with no idea what the outcome will be. The unknown is terrifying.

Five hundred years ago, there was a village called Guyue Mountain.

A pale-faced boy suddenly woke up from his bed. Fang Yuan looked at himself in the mirror, then at his hands and his surroundings. He realized that he had succeeded. He had really reversed time and returned to five hundred years ago, before he became a Gu cultivator.

"It's just a pity about my Spring and Autumn Cicada. It took so much effort to refine it. Sigh." Fang Yuan sighed.

Time has been reversed, spanning five hundred years. The Spring and Autumn Cicada is now obsolete, but since it can be refined once, it can be refined a second time. This time, he possesses five hundred years of experience, allowing him to gain numerous opportunities ahead of time, giving him a head start.

However, there is still a big problem, which is Fang Yuan's own aptitude as a Gu cultivator.

In this world, to become a Gu cultivator, one must unlock one's secrets.

The opening of the orifice is the watershed moment. Everyone's talent is different, their cultivation speed is different, and the heights they will reach in the future are even more different.

The reason Fang Yuan was bullied in his previous life was because his aptitude was too low, only a grade C aptitude. It was already a stroke of luck for someone with such aptitude to be able to cultivate to the third level, but he managed to cultivate to the sixth level of Gu Immortal, which shows how much he paid.

"Talent may have been a problem before, but it's no longer one. I remember that the secret arts of the demonic path can use bloodline members to create blood gu to enhance talent. The Gu Yue clan can certainly offer this to me!"

Chapter 371 Great Love from the Source, Deep Brotherhood

The Great Way Chat Group.

Fang Yuan: "Everyone, everything is fine so far."

After Fang Yuan's self-destruction, the images of the Dadao chat group were once marked in gray, and the entire chat group was in a state of chaos.

Although Fang Yuan claimed that the Spring and Autumn Cicada he created could reverse time and return to the past, the Spring and Autumn Cicada was a legendary insect, and this was his first time creating one. He had never used it before, so the success rate was practically zero.

Moreover, the price is the sacrifice of one's own life, spirit, and everything else; regardless of success or failure, the outcome is death.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan succeeded and really returned to five hundred years ago, back to his teenage years.

Fang Yuan in the live stream hadn't changed much from before. After all, a sixth-level Gu Immortal was enough to maintain youth and immortality. However, Fang Yuan in his youth was more melancholic, and his eyes held five hundred years of experience and insights, allowing him to see through everything in the world.

Chu Luoli: "Congratulations, congratulations. This Chunqiu Chan is really amazing. He can actually reverse time and go back to 500 years ago. Doesn't that mean that it's like saving a game and experiencing 500 years of history all over again? His skill level is terrifying!"

Xiao Yan: "Yes, it's like saving a game. After being reborn, it's much easier to seize opportunities and get ahead of everyone else."

Lingjian Sect Wang Wu: "Another cheater has appeared."

Han Paopao of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Spring and Autumn Cicada is so nice. I wish I could have one too."

Han Li's world has the law of reincarnation, and he can travel through time and space. However, Han Li is currently weak. If he had Chun Qiu Chan, he would have a much better chance of survival and a greater margin for error.

Wang Lin: "Don't even think about it. The rules of the plane are different. How could there be a Spring and Autumn Cicada? Unless you buy it in the chat group shop."

Fang Yuan: "Buy?"

Fang Yuan glanced at the shop, and the Dadao chat group shop automatically pushed relevant items, including the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

Moreover, all ten of the Immortal Gu are available for sale.

Ruyu Daoding Xianyou Xian Gu is a legendary immortal Gu, no less than Chunqiu Chan. It combines the essence of Shenyou Gu, Bikong Gu, and Dingxing Gu.

Using this curse, one can reach any place within three breaths, wherever the mind desires; it's simply insane.

With this Gu, one can be said to be in an invincible position from the outset.

If he had refined the Immortal Journey instead of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, he could have easily escaped even when facing a siege by powerful righteous forces, and even turned the tables.

The reason he chose the cicada of spring and autumn might simply be because he had some regrets deep down.

Moreover, by sheer coincidence, the resources he possessed were more suitable for refining the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

Besides the fixed immortal travel item, this shop also offers the following Gu items: Hongchu R Celestial Immortal Gu, Perseverance Gu, Wisdom Gu, Fate Gu, Love Gu, and Attitude Gu...

Each one is extremely rare, almost like a concept bound by rules.

Being able to refine just one is enough to make one famous throughout the world and become a regional overlord, and now it's actually being sold here.

Previously, Fang Yuan had focused on refining the Spring and Autumn Cicadas and hadn't paid much attention to the shop in the Great Dao Chat Group. Besides, he didn't have any points to accumulate, so there was no point in looking at it.

If we had the chance to gather all ten Immortal Gu now, wouldn't we be invincible in this life?

"That's not right. Since I'm starting over, and there are powerful beings like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Fairy Yunxiao in the group, why should I go down the path of witchcraft again? I can just cultivate immortality directly."

Fang Yuan felt that the upper limit of Gu Dao was not high. The strength of a Gu Master depended entirely on the Gu insects. If the Gu insects flew away, then the strength of the Gu Master would naturally become meaningless, just like a tiger losing its teeth!

But after thinking about it carefully, he decided against it. His talent in the Gu path was only at the lowest level, so there was no need to say anything more about cultivating immortality at a higher level. He decided to continue on the Gu path and cultivate it to its peak, where no one in the world could rival him. After that, he might be able to find time to cultivate the immortal path.

The Great Way Chat Group.

My favorite drink is animal milk: "The cicadas are so strange. Since they are cicadas, they must be a kind of insect. I wonder what they taste like."

Chu Luoli: "I've eaten cicadas before. They're crunchy, high in protein, and very nutritious. I just wonder what Brother Fang Yuan's Spring and Autumn Cicadas taste like."

Saintess of the Emperor: "You...you're outrageous."

Fang Yuan: "!!!"

Fang Yuan didn't say anything in the face of the group's teasing.

After all, having weathered five hundred years of trials and tribulations, what hasn't it experienced? What is this compared to that?

But what exactly does a cicada taste like? He suddenly became interested.

At this moment, in the ancient Yue Mountain stronghold, Fang Yuan, who had just been reborn, looked at the drizzling rain falling from the sky, walked straight into the rain, let the raindrops fall on his body, felt his rebirth, and enjoyed breathing in the air of freedom. In this life, he wanted to be the player who would step out of the chessboard, not a piece.

However, he had some concerns: could his ability to reverse time and return to the past through the cicada's song be truly seamless and undetectable?

If the Sixth-Rank Immortal Gu Chunqiu Chan has such power, he thinks that the Seventh-Rank, Eighth-Rank, and even Ninth-Rank cultivators, as well as the legendary Tongtian cultivators, wouldn't be able to detect someone entering the River of Time and exploiting a bug?

The Spring and Autumn Cicada is difficult to refine. As a magical artifact, many people have failed to refine it, but I succeeded. Is there some mysterious force behind this?

There were too many problems, and Fang Yuan didn't want to think about them. However, as a powerful figure in the demonic path, he had become subconsciously cautious, planning ten steps ahead for every step he took. Even after being reborn, he couldn't change some of his old habits.

Besides, who would care about the people in this small mountain village of Guyue?

Given the talent of the entire Guyue clan, it is already remarkable that they can cultivate to the level of a third or fourth-stage Gu Master. This is just a remote village, and compared to the Gu cultivation traditions of the entire world, it is just a speck of dust.

"elder brother."

As Fang Yuan pondered, he enjoyed the gentle drizzle.

A soft voice came from behind. Fang Yuan turned around and saw that his eyes were cold and fierce, with the domineering aura of a demonic overlord that made people dare not look him in the eye.

This was also a young man, exactly the same age as Fang Yuan, and even their appearance was the same.

Surprisingly, this was Fang Yuan's [unclear text - possibly a name or signature].

Upon seeing Fang Zheng, Fang Yuan's hazy memories from the past five hundred years instantly flooded his mind; in fact, he didn't have many memories of his younger brother.

After all, he had lived for five hundred years, while his younger brother had already died, and in his memory, there were only a dozen or so years left.

Just thinking about his past life, a very complex look flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes.

After this younger brother was found to have top-tier aptitude, he relentlessly tried to suppress himself, even to the point of becoming somewhat distorted.

In my past life, I experienced many hardships, but my younger brother's interference was indispensable.

Now that his younger brother Fang Zheng is right in front of him, logically he should just kill him and end it all.

Anyway, he's a time traveler, an outsider soul, an adult soul. How could he possibly develop kinship with the people of this world?

only……

Chapter 372 The Crisis of Shrouding the Sky, The Great War Begins

Although Guyue Mountain Village is just an insignificant little force in the Gu Realm, and the entire village has very few people, it is strictly hierarchical. The elders in the village are extremely stubborn and prioritize their own interests.

The monopoly on resources is also terrifying. Once a child fails to develop their talents and is considered to have poor natural abilities, they will basically be abandoned by the village and reduced to menial labor, with little chance of ever getting ahead in life.

In his previous life, Fang Yuan was a transmigrator, and he understood the survival rules of his clan from a very young age. There is no such thing as kinship here, only value. Those without value will not be nurtured or treated kindly, and will be treated badly.

So in order to be valued and live a slightly better life.

Fang Yuan showed "talent" at a very young age. This talent was actually poetry. Although the people in the village did not understand poetry, they could feel Fang Yuan's extraordinary talent and tacitly acknowledged that Fang Yuan was precocious and exceptionally gifted. He was treated relatively well in various aspects.

Moreover, Fang Yuan is cold and aloof, seemingly keeping people at arm's length and unapproachable.

In reality, this is a disguise. In such a group, one cannot appear too naive, otherwise one will be taken advantage of, and the consequences will be severe.

Therefore, even with his own brother, Fang Yuan remained aloof and unapproachable.

In the eyes of the Guyue clan, Fang Yuan was a genius. He could create extraordinary poems at such a young age, which can be described as overflowing with talent. If such a person were to awaken his potential, he would most likely be a top-tier talent.

Therefore, most of the time, Fang Yuan was actually under the spotlight and received a lot of attention, thanks to his genius.

On the contrary, Fang Zheng, as the twin brother, even has the exact same face.

His clansmen often compared him to his brother Fang Yuan. Although they were identical, their intelligence was worlds apart. This was extremely agonizing for Fang Zheng, making him increasingly insecure, self-conscious, and even disgusted with his identity and his face.

I feel like I'll live in my brother's shadow for the rest of my life.

But fate is so strange; even when you're about to give up on yourself...

During the Enlightenment Ceremony, he was found to have a Grade A talent, while his older brother Fang Yuan, who had been a genius since childhood and received much attention, had a Grade C talent. Such talent was considered low-end in the entire Guyue Clan, basically meaningless and his life was over. Although he wasn't exactly a waste, he wasn't much better off.

In an instant, the two brothers switched places, and Fang Zheng became the rising star and genius of the Gu Yue clan.

Fang Yuan, who was a genius since childhood, became a laughing stock and was abandoned by the Gu Yue clan.

Fang Yuan never expected that he would be the worst grade C. The sudden drop in rank was too great, and he fell into the dust.

Later, Fang Zheng was given special training by the Guyue Clan. Because he had lived in Fang Yuan's shadow since childhood, and with the instigation and scheming of the clan members, they began to suppress Fang Yuan, making it difficult for him to survive in the Guyue Clan for a long time, and his dignity was severely trampled.

This is the cause and effect of Fang Yuan and his younger brother Fang Zheng in their previous life.

Does Fang Yuan hate it? Of course he hates it. How can some things be let go of so easily?

But now, looking back on this journey through five hundred years of past and present lives, I feel no turmoil in my heart, no hatred, and I don't even feel that it's anything special, just a few hardships.

It's also the realization gained from five hundred years of experience that makes this little grudge insignificant!

“Revenge is not my intention. The path of the demonic path has always been about decisive killing, going against the will of Heaven, and killing anyone who does not obey my will,” Fang Yuan thought to himself.

What are you doing here?

Fang Yuan looked at Fang Zheng. This younger brother looked very timid at the moment, speaking in a very soft voice and with his head bowed low.

Fang Zheng felt that his brother's gaze was very sharp, making it difficult to meet his eyes, as if it could see right into his heart.

He was extremely nervous, but still said, "Brother, it's raining, so don't stand in the rain. Besides, you'll be opening your mind in a couple of days."
