Simultaneous Time Travel: Only I am left dead?

Taiyue Mountains.

Clouds and mist hang like gauze, and the golden maple leaves on the mountains surge like waves in the wind. Among the layers of mountains, a valley appears and disappears, filled with spiritual energy. At the entrance of the valley, a stone archway stands on the back of a stone tortoise. The three ancient and vigorous characters "Yellow Maple Valley" seem to flow with spiritual light. A protective array spreads out along the mountain's contours, hiding the entire mountain gate within the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, making it difficult for ordinary people to find.

Green Wave Cave.

Li Huayuan stood with his hands behind his back, while behind him stood a tall and upright man, listening attentively to his teachings.

"The path of cultivation is not about shutting yourself in, nor is it just about arduous practice. You have been in seclusion for half a year, and now that you have broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it is time for you to go out and gain some experience."

"Since we're recruiting new disciples for this Ascension Ceremony along with other sects, you should come along too."

"I will obey my master's orders!" Chen Yi replied respectfully. Li Huayuan was about to nod when he heard the other party change the subject, "However, my cultivation is low. If I were to encounter an accident, my death would be a small matter, but the loss of face for the sect would be a great matter."

"I have a magical artifact here..."

"Master, you flatter me! Rest assured, Master, even if I die, I will never fail the sect and your expectations!" Chen Yi said righteously, while quickly putting away his magic weapon.

Li Huayuan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but curse, "You greedy bastard, you took the stuff and now get the hell out of here!"

"yes!"

After leaving the cave, Chen Yi piloted his flying boat into the wind, and looking at the familiar scenery, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been in this world for more than ten years.

More than ten years ago, he traveled through time and, relying on his family's connections in Huangfeng Valley, he was reluctantly placed under Li Huayuan's tutelage.

Good news, he can now cultivate immortality.

The bad news is that he has pseudo-spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

It contains all five elements.

If there is a hierarchy of contempt among spiritual roots, then five spiritual roots are undoubtedly at the bottom of the hierarchy. In the human world where spiritual energy is scarce, the more spiritual roots one has, the slower one's cultivation speed. Generally speaking, pseudo-spiritual roots like four or five spiritual roots are extremely rare, with only one in ten thousand breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and even rarer achieving the Core Formation stage.

Those with pseudo-spiritual roots are basically sentenced to death by Core Formation.

In fact, Chen Yi has cultivated for 16 years, and his cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This was all thanks to the help of Master Li Huayuan.

"Given my aptitude, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through the Qi Refining stage until I die of old age."

Some unorthodox methods might help him break through his bottleneck, but those methods are often immoral and disregard human ethics. If he were to actually practice them, his master would probably personally clean up his sect without anyone else needing to intervene.

Just as Chen Yi was at his wit's end, a thick gray fog quietly enveloped him, and in an instant he was all alone.

Chen Yi suddenly woke up.

and many more!

Was he just flying?

"The flying boat I just mentioned!" Chen Yi was on the verge of tears.

at this point.

Chen Yi looked around and saw only a hazy fog. Strange images flashed through the fog from time to time. At the same time, Chen Yi suddenly had a realization.

"Is this simultaneous time travel?"

The familiar gray fog space was deserted, with only a few tombstones standing before me.

The tombstones gave Chen Yi a vague sense of familiarity, as if he himself were buried beneath them.

As the first tombstone flickered slightly, a memory suddenly appeared in Chen Yi's mind.

Chen Yi, an alternate entity from another world, is dead...

"I see." Chen Yi scratched his head, his expression complicated. "Good heavens, so I'm the only one left who's dead."

You guys were so careless.

Just as he guessed, each of these tombstones signified the death of his alternate counterpart who had traveled to other worlds.

However, due to the existence of the gray fog space, they have not completely disappeared.

He can inherit the abilities, talents, and powers of these otherworldly counterparts by fulfilling their regrets.

Thinking about it a lot is not as clear as doing it once.

With a pulling force, Chen Yi's body uncontrollably transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the first tombstone.

......

Tokyo.

An abandoned, unfinished building sits in a corner of the city, a place rarely visited by people, where even locals would rather take a detour than pass by.

As a notorious haunted spot in the area, it is avoided by ordinary people.

The unfinished building lives up to its reputation. From a distance, it stands as a dark building under the night sky. Dark shadows sway from time to time through the broken windows. The old walls are covered with moss, and there are also some strange black and red stains on them. The surrounding land is barren and the trees are withered.

But extremes beget their opposites. This infamous haunted building has become incredibly popular in the adventure community, and people continue to enjoy it despite the frequent disappearances of those who go there.

Meanwhile, in a room on the third floor of an unfinished building, a body resembling a teenager lay quietly on the ground.

At a certain moment, the boy's body regained its vitality, and Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes, a wisp of spiritual energy flashing in them.

"The supernatural world."

Chen Yi sat up, quickly scanned his memories, and finally stopped at a pale, ghostly face in the final stage of life.

This thing could be a person, but it's rather unlikely that it is.

In this world, Chen Yi was killed by the ghost that was entrenched in this haunted building.

Chen Yi initially thought that the Chen Yi in this world had come here to explore on his own, but after browsing through his memories, he realized that the reason he had risked entering the haunted building was entirely because of a prank.

Keywords: classmates, pranks, stealing important items, throwing into a haunted building, adventurous search, encountering ghosts.

An ordinary yet egregious farce.

Chen Yi looked down at his hand, where he was holding a jade pendant tightly.

At the same time, Chen Yi, the otherworldly counterpart in the supernatural world, also found his regrets to become concrete and clear.

Main Quest: Humans know the terror of ghosts, but ghosts know the wickedness of the human heart. Slay the evil ghosts and punish the wicked.

[Task Duration: Three Days]

If they hadn't transmigrated at the same time, Chen Yi in this world would only be defined as missing, while those culprits would still go unpunished. After a period of fear, they would forget about it and continue to live their lives happily.

"I have received your wish."

Chen Yi stood up, already sensing a chilling aura gradually approaching.

creak.

creak.

A cold wind blew into the room from outside the window, causing the old wooden door to sway slightly and emit a harsh scraping sound in the silence. Strange noises, like feet stepping on broken glass, echoed from outside the hallway, growing louder and louder.

The temperature around them dropped rapidly, and a thin layer of frost gradually covered the glass in the room, making the scene seem incredibly eerie on this June night.

Until the jet-black hair appeared from the side of the door, the venomous eyes stared intently at Chen Yi in the room.

Chen Yi quietly watched the ghost that appeared, and its terrifying face matched the one in his memory.

The vengeful spirit opened its pitch-black mouth, from which thick black liquid dripped. If it were an ordinary person, just seeing this sight would be enough to make them wet themselves in fear.

However, the vengeful spirit suddenly stopped, and the boy in front of it pulled out a black flag out of thin air. The flag grew longer in the wind and soon reached a size of two meters. A cold wind blew from it, and the eerie aura it emitted was hundreds of times stronger than the flag.

"Evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, surrender at once before me!"

Chen Yi's eyes were cold as he raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

next moment.

A strong, eerie wind arose, and the dense yin energy swirled into a vortex. The vengeful spirit couldn't even struggle before being sucked into the small banner with a mournful howl.

Chen Yi did not put away the Soul-Binding Banner, but instead rode his flying sword to the sky above the building.

As Chen Yi made a hand seal, dark clouds immediately filled the sky, a howling wind arose, and a huge black tornado appeared out of thin air, connecting heaven and earth. The vengeful spirits in the unfinished building were sucked out one by one as if they were automatically picked up, and finally all entered the Soul-Binding Banner.

Chen Yi looked at the mess within a hundred meters and was completely stunned.

"Wait, I'm only at the seventh level of Qi Refining..."
