Chapter 59.2

What was it like to have your obsession backfire by your own hands? Shan Junqing couldnt explain it. He only knew that it was bitter, as if he was being gnawed by bugs everywhere. It was very painful, so painful that words couldnt describe it.

His disciple, Shan Huaiyu, was on the verge of going insane.

This child, who was taught and raised by him personally, had the same obsession with immortality.

What people like them feared the most wasnt death, but the wiping away of hopes of becoming immortal.

Shan Junqing had guessed correctly. Lin Shiheng kept them because he wanted to deal with them with a punishment worse than death.

The fate of Zhang Zirous husband and wife pair were quite simple. The Heavenly Emperor was in charge of the four realms, including the Ghost Realm.

They would be reborn in the Mortal Realm as two deers only to die shortly after their antlers were cut off, and then be reincarnated, and have their antlers cut off again.

Death wasnt a single time for them, because they wont have the chance to drink Meng Po soup. They could only relive themselves and die again and again with their memories intact.

When death becomes a cycle, no matter how painful it is, it wont help you.

Shan Junqing and Shan Huaiyu were also sent to the Mortal Realm.

There is an immortal herb in the Heavenly Realm which if eaten, you could live forever with the same life as in the Heavenly Realm.

Unfortunately, it has side effects. Furthermore, the immortal herb can be eaten by neither spiritual cultivators nor immortals. Only ordinary mortals could eat it.

Its just that after eating, they would have a long lifespan, but their body would still age.

They will grow old like a normal human being, suffer from illness, in need of food, sleep, and would feel pain. They were no different from ordinary human beings, except for being immortal.

It doesnt sound that bad, as even if youre old, life would always be better once you get used to it.

However, they were cursed by the Heavenly Emperor.

No matter how long time passed, no matter how eager they were, they were destined to be poor. They wouldnt have more money than what one meal would cost. They would cross paths with countless knowledge, but their minds would never be able to remember it.

Their body had completely become mortal, unable to cultivate spiritual power, unable to use martial arts. Even the memories of how to cultivate in their minds were blurred.

The only thing they remember was how powerful they were in the Cultivation Realm and how eager they were to become immortal.

The two people who were old and sick, but couldnt die, had to walk around the entire world with crutches. They could not stop working, because once they stop, the curse will keep them from getting their next meal altogether. Even if they walked until their feet were bloody, they needed to keep going.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

After only 100 years had passed, Shan Huaiyu went crazy.

Maybe being crazy is a good thing for him, Shan Junqing thought.

His eyes were dull, and his once handsome face was now full of wrinkles and dirt.

Shan Junqing also wanted to go crazy like Shan Huaiyu.

That way, the things from the past wouldnt come to mind.

Over time, his memory of the Cultivation Realm gradually blurred, but his memories from the Mortal Realm in the past were as clear as day.

He once had a happy family.

His gentle wife looked at him with love in her eyes.

Everyone was envious of him.

His official position was lofty, and his wife adored him.

But he destroyed it all by his own hands.

Shan Junqing had a knife on him.

Every time he woke up from a nightmare, he abused himself. He inserted a knife into his heart and felt the biting pain.

The family of three left happily, and the guards quickly followed behind them. No one cared about the mortal beggar behind them.

Shan Junqing sat on the ground and hugged his crutches.

It was a branch of a locust tree, which he has been bringing with him since he picked it up, using it as a crutch.

Occasionally, he remembered times when he was poor, how his wife made cakes with locust flowers and elm, collecting the money to support him.

No matter how painful his body was, no matter how his abdomen would churn, as long as he held this crutch, his heart would still feel warm.

He persisted, believing that his wife still loved him.

Even if she hated him now, the sweetness from the past couldnt fade away.

For Shan Junqing himself, he didnt go crazy in the past 100 years, relying on his thoughts and love for his wife.

But just now, that little child called her mother.

Is she married already?

It looks like shes happy.

Yes, her father is the Heavenly Emperor, and she had already gone to the Heavenly Realm. She is a princess in the Heavenly Realm. If she got married, her husband must also be an immortal.

Shan Junqing stayed in wait for a while and looked down at his shabby clothes and the stench that his nose could smell. His mouth gradually overflowed with blood.

He should have known

When he stabbed the knife into her heart, all the love she had for him was for nothing.

Just, why.. Why did his heart hurt so much?

Lin Shiheng, the Heavenly Emperor, worked hard for several years at the beginning. When his grandson was born, he fell in love with going through the motions from all walks of life.

Lin Ningan doesnt believe in love at all now, but she wanted to have a child. So, Lin Shiheng encouraged her to learn from the First Heavenly Emperor, to take one out from the primal chaos, and then give her essence and blood to it.

He went through this process himself, so the birth of his little grandchild went smoothly.

Probably, because of a genetic mutation, the little grandson was a fire dragon unlike his own silver dragon mother and grandfather.

Children born from primal chaos often had memories of being in the primal chaos. However, because they were floating in the primal chaos, those memories were often boring and uninteresting, so in addition to being able to understand words at birth, these children were no different from ordinary born children.

Fire Dragon Yuer is a child who always kept a straight face.

His favorite thing to do is to read through the memorials.

He read the memorials that only the Heavenly Emperor could approve.

He was a very ambitious dragon.

Unlike his grandfather and mother who only wanted to wander every day, Yuers ambition was to be the Emperor of Heaven.

He was destined to learn a lot with this ambition.

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of immortal officials in heaven, and they have been working hard to cultivate a qualified Heavenly Emperor. Now that they finally had an ambitious future ruler, they poured out all their knowledge for Yuer.

With that, all their knowledge was absorbed by the fire dragon, who had a very high level of comprehension.

When Yuer was 100 years old, he finally grew into a teenager.

The immortal officials expressed their congratulations. Finally, they didnt have to stand in front of a white dumpling less than half their height every day.

Yuer aspired to become the Heavenly Emperor, so he was ready to compete with his mother.

He even made a long, long, long piece of memorial, filled with what benefits he would give if he were the Emperor of Heaven. In short, he crushed his mother from all aspects.
