The Strong-Expert Body Possession Rebirth Trope, Ming Lao's Identity
The Strong-Expert Body Possession Rebirth Trope, Ming Lao’s Identity
The land of Middle State is divided into eight domains, and the Central Sky Domain is the most prosperous among them.
Sects stand in great numbers, and Dao traditions abound.
The Superior Dao Academy is even known as the Academy of Pride, filled with countless geniuses, a gathering of outstanding talents, all hailing from various sects and powers.
It is no exaggeration to say that the young men and women able to cultivate at the Superior Dao Academy are all extraordinarily gifted, and their future achievements will not be low.
Many of Middle State’s Holy Land masters and dynasty rulers also cultivated at the Superior Dao Academy in their youth.
However, in this quiet chamber, there was one exception.
The grey-robed woman’s beautiful eyes were frosty with anger, her aura surging around her, looking thoroughly exasperated at someone’s failure to live up to expectations.
Many of the young men and women also wore expressions of mockery and disdain, looking down completely on the youth still sprawled across the table, snoring away in deep sleep.
“This piece of trash can actually enter the Superior Dao Academy to cultivate? He’s simply embarrassing all of us.”
“Exactly. If he weren’t from the Ancient Lin Family, and if his sister weren’t an Elder of the Academy, how could he possibly cultivate in the same quiet chamber as us?”
“Elder Lin Qiuhan is really unlucky, to be stuck with such a jinx of a little brother.”
Many young men and women looked over, whispering among themselves.
Naturally, what they were discussing was none other than that youth.
Lin Tian.
He was someone quite famous in the Superior Dao Academy.
He was also the grey-robed woman’s half-brother from a different mother.
Not only was his cultivation aptitude terrible, but he never put in any effort, often slacking off and sleeping during lessons.
He could be called an out-and-out cultivation trash.
Yet his sister, Lin Qiuhan, was the youngest and most beautiful Elder of the Superior Dao Academy, with countless suitors.
Even the Holy Sons and successors of the great Holy Lands and dynasties had pursued her.
Her future was limitless.
With this comparison between the two, Lin Tian could be said to be extremely famous throughout the entire Superior Dao Academy.
“Lin Tian...”
Seeing that Lin Tian was still snoring away, the grey-robed woman’s voice grew louder. Furious, she strode down quickly.
At that moment, the commotion seemed to be a bit too loud, and it woke the youth.
“Ah, this King refuses to accept this...”
He let out a miserable cry, then raised his head, his expression somewhat confused and dazed, as if he were still in a dream.
“Where is this?”
“Who are you?”
“’This King’? Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter.”
“What on earth did this trash dream about?”
A wave of mocking laughter rang out all around.
Lin Qiuhan’s expression grew even uglier, filled with anger and fury.
Well, well. Not only did he sleep during her lesson, but now he was pretending not to recognize her?
Although she was his sister, she couldn’t let him act so recklessly. She had to teach him a proper lesson.
“Sky Blue Realm, the land of Middle State, Central Sky Domain...”
“I see.”
At that moment, however, Lin Tian seemed not to see the person before him at all.
He muttered to himself with some emotion, and then the sharp gleam quickly returned to his eyes.
To think that I, the mighty Heaven-Slaying God King, would one day actually be reborn through Body Possession.
That’s right. The current Lin Tian was no longer the trash Lin Tian of before.
He was a God King of a generation, titled Heaven-Slaying, a powerful existence said to be capable of slaying even the heavens.
It was just that during his ascension, he encountered a terrifying Space Rift, and before he could reach the legendary Beyond, he unfortunately perished.
Thankfully, heaven favored him.
A wisp of his Remnant Soul endured, and in the end, he was reborn through Body Possession into the body of this youth before him.
However, Lin Tian was now somewhat puzzled.
In his original world, one had to cultivate to the Enlightened King Realm before one could shatter the void and ascend to the mysterious Beyond.
But in this world he now found himself in, it seemed one only needed to cultivate to the Partial-Enlightened Realm to break through and ascend.
In that case, with the memories of his past life, wouldn’t standing once more at the absolute peak of this world be as easy as lifting a finger for him?
At this thought, Lin Tian couldn’t help but reveal a confident, disdainful expression.
Despised and looked down upon by his clansmen, mocked for clinging to a miserable life?
He was the mighty Heaven-Slaying God King. Sooner or later, he would slap the faces of everyone who looked down on him.
Harboring admiration for his sister, wanting to possess her, yet lacking the courage?
Rest assured, with this King here, none of these obsessions will be a problem.
As for matters of blood relations and ethics, to an existence of his level, they were simply not worth caring about.
“Lin Tian, what are you grinning foolishly about? If you can’t break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm this month, you’ll be expelled from the Superior Dao Academy, and by then even the family won’t be able to protect you...”
Seeing that Lin Tian was still ignoring her, Lin Qiuhan couldn’t help but furrow her delicate brows, her tone growing heavier.
Lin Tian was born of a concubine, his mother a mere servant girl, and his talent was poor. His circumstances in the Lin Family were terrible, and he was not well regarded.
But she was kind-hearted and had looked after him quite a bit over the years.
Yet Lin Tian never appreciated it, leaving her utterly disappointed.
“A mere Spiritual Sea Realm—how could that possibly trouble me?”
“In less than half a day, I will definitely break through.”
Lin Tian said indifferently, a trace of contempt and condescension toward all living beings hidden in his eyes.
Lin Qiuhan couldn’t help but shake her head, feeling that he was truly beyond saving.
Within the quiet chamber, an uproar of laughter erupted.
Everyone felt that Lin Tian hadn’t woken up properly, to actually spout such sleep-talk.
But Lin Tian remained very calm, not angry in the slightest.
He was, after all, an existence of the Enlightened King Realm. How could he stoop to the level of these young boys and girls?
In a few days, just wait to have your faces slapped by me.
...
Rumble!
The void trembled, and fierce winds swept through.
An incomparably luxurious, towering flying vessel crushed its way through the high skies.
Streaming with radiance and bursting with divine light, it sped along swiftly, already entering the borders of the land of Middle State.
Gu Changge’s robes billowed, his black hair flying, hands clasped behind his back as he gazed down below.
The System notification that suddenly rang out in his mind made him pause slightly.
After Ye Chen’s Fortuity points rapidly declined, a new Fortuitous One had arrived?
Looks like there’s more leeks to harvest.
“To think this old servant would one day return to the land of Middle State. Thirty thousand years have passed in a blink—I wonder how the family I left behind is faring now?”
Ming Lao stood respectfully behind Gu Changge. At this moment, gazing at the unfamiliar mountains, rivers, great marshes, and ancient forests below, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Thirty thousand years—vast seas had turned into mulberry fields, ancient cities had crumbled into ruins.
He couldn’t help but feel a touch of timidity at approaching his homeland.
The descendants of back then—were they still around?
“Ming Lao, qianbei actually ascended to the Beyond from Middle State?”
Su Qingge was somewhat surprised.
This was the first time she had learned of such a thing. She had assumed Ming Lao was a native of the Beyond, just like Gu Changge.
“Indeed. Before ascending, this old servant founded the Lin Family...”
Ming Lao said with a smile.
Only very few people knew that his true surname was actually Lin.
