Chapter 574 - 574: Regressed To Become the Heavenly Demon
My name is Shen Wei.
My father… I don't know who he was. He left my mother and sister when I was just born and my sister was five years old.
When I turned 16, my sister suddenly fell into a mysterious illness. Worrying about her, our mother passed away.
To take care of my sister, I had to do many odd jobs and eventually became a mercenary.
I was forcefully enlisted in the Heavenly Demon Cult in the Ghost Shadow Squad, as a meat shield.
Task? I was sent to kill people and clean up the job. Although I reached the Martial Master realm, my strength wasn't much. I was constantly bullied and beaten by my subordinates.
But I gritted my teeth and endured, because the money was enough to sustain my sister's life.
Once, my squad was sent to assassinate a group of monks from the Pearl Heaven Pagoda.
Who would have thought all those monks were veteran fighters, even accompanied by a Martial Grandmaster realm master?
It was a bitter fight, and everyone other than me died. I was also half crippled, but I survived. The leader of Ghost Shadow Squad appeared and killed the remaining monks with ease.
That bastard! He was there! Even an Elder of Ghost Hall was there! Only if they acted beforehand! My comrades, everyone around me! THEY DIED IN VAIN!
Taking pity, the leader threw me a jade bracelet he found on one of the monks. After all, no way he will give me a real treasure. This little ornament, and he gave me a few days of leave after treatment.
When I returned home… My sister was dead. The entire house was filled with a layer of glacial ice.
She didn't die of illness; someone dug out her heart and escaped.
I cried…I cried blood! I tried to investigate, but I didn't find anything.
Ten years, I served the Heavenly Demon Cult for ten whole years. I lost one of my arms, and my right eye got punctured. Yet I still served, only to find who killed my sister.
Finally, from the Dark Light Pavilion, he found a single row of information.
Nine years ago, the Second Son of the Nangong Family awakened North Sky Glacial Body, but by an external method. This method requires a heart of a person with an immense Frost Yin body.
Everything fell in the right place, and I finally gained a clue after so many years.
But what could I do? The Nangong Clan is one of the most powerful clans in the Central Province. But I couldn't just sit still!
I, Shen Wei, even if I die, I will die trying.
I planned for everything; I would have left for Central Province by taking a mission from the cult.
But who would have thought there would be a Thousand Demon Summon here?
And… Who would have thought Righteous Alliance would actually infiltrate the cult?!
Yes… I realized I won't be able to escape. I won't be able to take revenge for my sister.
But… I got a chance. The Vice Hall Master was none other than the old Squad Leader of Ghost Shadow Squad. After years of promotion, he became Vice Hall, Master. But to think he and the Hall Master both turned out to be traitors!
I didn't let go of this chance. I ate the Demonic Berserk Pill that crippled my insides, but in return gave immense strength, way beyond my current realm.
I sneaked attack… and I finally succeeded. I killed that bastard with my own hand.
HAHAHAHA! I KILLED THAT BASTARD! I AT LEAST KILLED ONE BASTARD!
But the Demonic Berserk Pill is clouding my mind.
I… I can't think of anything.
I…MUST… KILL!
" Haahh…Hahhh… Did I kill the Hall Master, too?" Chuckled as I lay on the ground.
" Mother…Sister… I am sorry! Your son…If there is a next life…I will repay your debt!"
Suddenly, the jade bracelet that I wore every day flashed with a green radiance as it absorbed the Hall Master's blood.

" Xiao Wei! Xiao Wei! Get up!"
" Ugh… Mother… Mother?!!"
Suddenly, Shen Wei opened his eyes as he looked at his surroundings. The face of a concerned old woman appeared, making his heart beat faster.
" Xiao Wei, you slept for so long." The lady sighed, " You must have tired yourself out last night. How many times have I told you not to work so hard?"
Shen Wei hurriedly got up and rushed to another room. He almost choked as he saw his sister resting on the bed.
" Xiao…Xiao Wei?" Shen Wulian looked at Shen Wei with a smile, " You woke up? Come…Mother has made some delicious porridge. Let's go and eat."
" Shen Wei, are you alright?" His mother asked in a concerned voice.
' Illusion? No, am I in Heaven?' Shen Wei's mind spun wildly.
" Shen Wei, Shi Xingyu came in the morning to find you. But I have sent him away. But he might come in the afternoon." His mother remembered as she spoke.
' Shi Xingyu? No… I remember… He came to me…For what? FOR WHAT?'
' YES! The hunt! The beasts and the Purple Crown Flower!'
' That means… I have returned to the past?!'

My name is Shen Wei.
What happened earlier was my past life. But somehow, I have regressed to the past, twelve years ago. Only a few months remain until my mother dies, and Shen Wulian falls into her strange illness.
It must be the jade bracelet that brought me back. It looked like a dragon coiling around my wrist, this time…it looked more detailed than I recalled.
But since I have been given a chance, I will not waste it!
After the accident in Ghost Shadow Squad, I spent my time in Dark Light Hall, which managed intelligence and information. I came to know many things about the entire Azure Cloud Domain.
And finally, I am going to put it to great use.
I also found a different use for my Coiling Dragon Jade Bracelet. To think the item I thought of as a mere ornament turned out to be a supreme treasure!
First year, I stole the Purple Crown Flower along with the Nine Body Quenching Pill from the merchant family.
I cultivated the basic Echoing Iron Body Refining Art to strengthen my basic physique and increase the quality of my internal energy.
By one function of the bracelet, I found a hidden Imperial Green Jade in an auction and sold it, earning a hundred taels of gold. Giving enough to my family, I took the remaining money and went to Qingyu County.
I found the hidden tomb of Cloud Thunder Daoist, one of the Ten Great Martial Master 500 years ago, which was found two years later.
The special medicines and energy crystals was devoured by the bracelet, and it return it granted me a drop of crystal purple liquid. The moment I drank it, it refined my physique, allowing my ordinary body to transform into Heavenly Martial Body.
Along with it, it transmitted a spiritual technique to me called Dragon Wisdom Soul Refining Art.
It was a miraculous technique that allowed me to simulate any technique in my mind, where time works slowly. So even if my comprehension is bad, given time, I can practice them with ease.
I cultivated the Cloud Thunder Divine Body Art and Wild Wind Steps.
Two years later, I reached the pinnacle of the Martial Master realm and returned to home. I temporarily suppressed my sister's physique and took both my mother and sister to a safe space.
Then I entered the Heavenly Demon Cult, not as cannon fodder, but as a true disciple! An elder's granddaughter fell in love with me, and I had sex with her.
I became a martial disciple of Dark Light Pavilion and got permission to dispatch to Central Province.
I fought with other righteous faction disciples, and seized various chances, reaching the Martial Grand Master Realm by age of 21.
While wandering, I found the bastards sent by the Nangong Clan, who were looking for a Frost Yin Heart. Still, I managed to assassinate and hang the dead body of the second son of the Nangong Clan outside the estate.
I killed them and got wanted by the Nangong Clan.
Three years later, I found out that my father is alive. He was the leader of Hidden Sky Pavilion. Turned out, due to some circumstances, he lost his memories and forgot us.
We finally reunited, and he taught me the Eight Gates True Martial Fist Technique and the Dragon Rising Spear Art.
Same year, I returned to the cult and became subordinate of Qin Yuyue, the cult leader's daughter.
Five years later, I traveled using both my righteous and demonic identity, reaching the Houtian Realm. I also got entangled with the Martial Court's Princess, Daughter of Green Forest Union, and Blood Moon Pavilion's saintess.
Two years later, a fight broke out in Heavenly Demon Cult, but with my help Qin Yuyue subdued the traitors. Alas, we had to flee from the cult.
I mastered the Nine Sky Demon Sword, along with White Dragon Spear. When I returned, I killed all my enemies and became the Heavenly Demon.
By the age of 60, which was still much too young for a martial artist, I had conquered the Azure Cloud Domain with my several wives. I also reached the pinnacle of the Xiantian Realm.
After becoming the ruler, I happily stayed ever after.
….
I am Shen Wei.
" Huh? Didn't I already live two lives?"
