Inside the study.

Jun Changxiao took out a yellowed secret manual and muttered: “Is the Time Reversal Great Method really that miraculous?”

This was a spatial-type martial technique. Once mastered, it could reverse time and space at a fixed location, recreating scenes that had occurred in the past.

How much time could be reversed?

That still depended on the practitioner’s comprehension and cultivation level.

For instance, the white-haired elder had studied it for hundreds of years but could only reverse to ten years prior, and the coverage area was merely a few zhang.

Jun Changxiao casually flipped through two pages and discovered the incantations were quite complex. With his own talent, learning it would probably take some time.

“Alas.”

He shook his head and took out the Supreme Insight Talisman.

Cultivating step by step wasn’t his style. If he could take shortcuts, he definitely would.

Jun Changxiao never cared if others called him a cheat user, never cared if they said he’d be nothing without the System, because “I am who I am, a different kind of firework.”

However.

Just as he was about to crush it, his mind became slightly hazy.

Jun Changxiao thought of the Rose Empress, because the high-grade crystal core used to refine the Supreme Insight Talisman was given by her.

The System said: “Feelings are cultivated bit by bit in small details.”

“Get lost.”

“Snap!”

After the Insight Talisman was crushed, powerful martial knowledge and comprehension instantly flooded his sea of consciousness.

Jun Changxiao began to study the Time Reversal Great Method with focused concentration, though he would occasionally become distracted, inexplicably thinking of that woman bent over reviewing memorials.

“Tsk tsk.”

The System said in surprise: “After using the Insight Talisman, this guy’s martial quotient has greatly improved, and his emotional quotient seems to have been somewhat enhanced as well.”

Intelligence quotient, martial quotient, and emotional quotient were all inseparable from the brain, and the Insight Talisman’s effect was precisely to develop the brain.

Being distracted during cultivation was a great taboo.

But… Jun Changxiao cultivated while letting his mind wander, and then learned the Time Reversal Great Method.

This would truly make people die of envy.

Taking advantage of the Insight Talisman’s remaining time, he took out the Tianjun Soul Refinement Formula and began to cultivate seriously.

An hour later.

Jun Changxiao walked out of the study.

Whether in temperament or aura, his entire being seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

The System said: “Host has comprehended the Tianjun Soul Refinement Formula. As long as you operate it constantly every day, your soul and spiritual sense will continuously strengthen.”

“Will I remain conscious when using the stone statue’s power?” Jun Changxiao asked.

The System considered briefly and said: “It also depends on the host’s degree of soul enhancement.”

Jun Changxiao remained silent.

“Step!”

Stopping at the main hall’s martial arts arena, he operated the Time Reversal Great Method.

He had already learned this miraculous martial technique. At this moment, he needed to test how far back in time he could reverse, and how wide an area he could cover.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The moment Jun Changxiao closed his eyes, the Time Reversal Great Method began operating. Attributes similar to spatial power gradually spread out, then enveloped the entire martial arts arena.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

Space began to tremble, and scenes like a film playing in reverse appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Under Li Qingyang’s several rounds of repairs, the Eternal Sect’s martial arts arena had transformed from the original dirt ground to stone brick paving, and the area gradually expanded to its current scale.

Using the Time Reversal Great Method, Jun Changxiao reversed the sequence, slowly evolving from glory back to desolation, until returning to the scene from several years ago when he first transmigrated.

He saw himself.

Sitting on the steps at the edge of the martial arts arena, holding a bowl of noodles, eating and crying at the same time.

That was right after transmigrating, feeling helpless and pained by the strange world and being alone in the sect.

This scene, like watching recorded playback, inexplicably stirred emotions in Jun Changxiao’s heart.

Back then, I even had to freeload meals at Madam Wang’s home in Qingyang Village. Now I already possess peak Sword-Martial Dual Saint cultivation. It truly gives one a feeling as if in a dream.

That Jun Changxiao could see his most difficult past self showed that with the Insight Talisman’s assistance, he already had decent understanding of the Time Reversal Great Method—at least he could see events from several years ago.

“Can reverse even further.”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The spatial power continued to fluctuate, and past scenes appeared again in his sea of consciousness.

After a short while, he saw two men in their thirties appear in the martial arts arena area, each carrying bundles on their backs, waving toward the great hall and saying: “Junior Brother Jun, this sect is now in your hands. Don’t disappoint our sect master’s spirit in heaven!”

“Damn it!”

“Two bastards!”

The two people appearing in the scene were precisely the eldest senior brother and second senior brother who had left after the farewell banquet Jun Changxiao once attended.

If they were still in the sect now, Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang would both have to respectfully address them as senior uncles.

Unfortunately.

The two left and never returned.

Jun Changxiao hadn’t gone looking for these two senior brothers after transmigrating to this day, because in his view, people have their own aspirations. Since they left, so be it.

“Whoosh!”

The scene before his eyes changed again. He clearly felt the dirt martial arts arena transform from initial dilapidation to newness, with his small figure repeatedly appearing, holding a large broom to sweep fallen leaves from the ground.

“Gou Sheng.”

Suddenly, a resonant voice came from the great hall’s direction: “Sweep it cleaner.”

“This voice…”

Jun Changxiao’s state of mind rippled slightly as he said: “Sect Master Wang!”

He hadn’t expected that by using the Time Reversal Great Method, he would actually return to the time when the first sect master was still alive, and even hear him speak.

This bold and uninhibited voice made it hard to imagine he would go to houses of pleasure or choose to break out of prison!

The past scene continued playing backward.

After watching for who knows how long, Jun Changxiao’s facial expression suddenly froze.

He saw himself at only four or five years old, saw Sect Master Wang place one hand on his head, and laugh saying: “Little fellow, your bone structure is exquisite. You’re truly a martial arts genius, one in ten thousand. From today on, you are the third disciple of our sect.”

These memories hadn’t been obtained when Jun Changxiao transmigrated. It must be that too much time had passed, and even the original owner no longer remembered.

What shocked him wasn’t that the first Sect Master Wang finally appeared on screen, but that when he was accepting him into the sect, someone was standing beside him—this person wore blue robes, appeared only about thirty years old but had a head full of white hair, and had a wine gourd hanging at his waist.

The Commandery Governor of Qingyang!

Yun He!

Jun Changxiao said in astonishment: “Why is he here? Could he know the Sect Master?”

“Sect Master Wang.”

Yun He in the image smiled and said: “I’ll leave this child in your care.”

“Rest assured, I’ll cultivate him into a talent.” Sect Master Wang cupped his fists.

“What does this mean?”

Jun Changxiao frowned and said: “Could it be that my joining the Iron Bones Clanging Sect was related to Commandery Governor Yun?”

When he tried to continue the time reversal to see earlier, he discovered he couldn’t go back further.

The System’s voice sounded in his ear: “With the host’s current understanding of the Time Reversal Great Method, you can only reverse to twenty years ago.”

“Whoosh!”

The scene before his eyes dissipated.

Jun Changxiao seemed to return from an illusion to reality, then fell into deep thought.

When he joined the Tiegu Sect as a young child, Commandery Governor Yun was actually at the sect, and seemed to know Sect Master Wang.

No.

This doesn’t make sense!

If Sect Master Wang knew Commandery Governor Yun, how could he have been arrested?

Moreover, from the conversation, the original owner in his youth was sent over by him, which means he should have known him, yet why did their first meeting back then feel like strangers?

Originally just casually testing the Time Reversal Great Method, but seeing that scene from twenty years ago left Jun Changxiao with a feeling of tangled, incomprehensible confusion.

“Perhaps…”

The System said solemnly: “Host’s true identity is actually a Saiyan. Later, when the planet was destroyed by Frieza, you were desperately brought to the Xingyun Continent by a top-tier powerhouse using the alias Yun He, and entrusted to Sect Master Wang, who had been lurking here for decades, to guide you in martial arts.”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes and said: “Then my name should be Kakarot, shouldn’t it?”
