Chapter 13
Side Story: Tangtang as a Child
Floating Light Continent, My Sword Sect.
A heavy snow had just fallen, and the sun hadn't come out during the day, so the snow in the courtyard was melting slowly. The disciples swept it into the corners, where it piled up into small hills.
Thud—
A mountain of snow was shattered by the boy's body!
The thin boy dropped his longsword and slammed into the wall, skimming across the snow-covered tracks. He immediately coughed up blood.
"Is this how you use your innate sword body?!" A man's roar came from afar. Before the boy could even react, he was slapped so hard that his face was turned to the side, his tongue was bitten and bleeding, and more blood spilled from the corner of his lips.
"As a sword cultivator, if you can't even hold a sword properly, what kind of sword cultivator are you!"
"Remember that you are the chief disciple of Wujian Sect, and you are the role model for all disciples of Wujian Sect. You must become the strongest to live up to our expectations of you!"
"Understood? Pick up the sword! Stand here and swing it ten thousand times. You're not allowed to eat until you do!"
The boy looked no more than seven or eight years old, his ears were ringing, and he could barely hear the man's instructions.
Nodding, he leaned against the wall with his hands, which were red from the cold, picked up the fallen longsword, and, dressed in a thin, moon-white disciple's robe, swung the heavy sword again and again after getting into position.
The man told the other disciples to watch over him, then left to do other things.
The boy was left alone, mechanically repeating the same actions, his deep brown eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.
This young man is Yu Tang.
The chief disciple of the Wujian Sect, the strongest sect on the Floating Light Continent.
Born with a natural sword physique, he found cultivation several times more difficult than ordinary people due to a lack of comprehension.
The sect leader of Wujian Sect ordered all the elders under his command to train him rigorously.
Since you lack the aptitude, then put in many times more effort than others!
So from the time he was old enough to understand, Yu Tang's world consisted only of cultivation.
Every day, the moment they open their eyes, they begin body training and sword practice. Their meditation time is their time to sleep and rest. When they open their eyes again, they must quickly pick up their longswords and undergo the elders' mandatory training.
To help him cultivate faster, the sect leader directly instructed him to cultivate the Heartless Path of Severing Emotions and Love.
It also limited the people he could contact.
As a result, Yu Tang has never even seen any children his own age, let alone played and frolicked like a normal child.
As the sun sets in the west, the evening glow paints the sky, slowly turning into a deep indigo color.
Little Yu Tang swung his longsword again and again, mechanically repeating numbers in his mind. His chapped lips parted, exhaling white mist and producing a hoarse voice.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, ten thousand..."
As the last word faded, Yu Tang finally collapsed to the ground, one hand still tightly gripping the longsword, half his face buried in the snow. He stared at the tree in the courtyard, its branches bent low by the weight of the falling snow, and thought:
What is the meaning of my existence?
Am I destined to spend my whole life like this?
Why am I still alive?
He thought about it for a long time, until he completely lost consciousness, but he still couldn't figure it out.
But after opening his eyes again, he began a new round of training.
Day after day, year after year, until he grew into the sect leader of the Wujian Sect. Until he became the number one sword cultivator on the Floating Light Continent. Until he successfully ascended to the God Realm and became the strongest being in the God Realm.
Until all the gods, upon seeing him, would respectfully address him as "Lord Yutang".
Until he descended to the mortal realm to seal the rift in the demon realm...
Until he met Wei Yuan, who carried the threads of his lost love and was destined to be entangled with him for life...
He finally understood: Oh, so this is the meaning of my existence.
It turns out I was destined to fall into the hands of this brat.
So it turns out... I'm not an emotionless machine after all.
It turns out that my life has become wonderful because of you.
So, Wei Yuan, thank you for letting me accept myself for the first time.
Chapter 14
Extra Chapter: Wei Yuan Travels Back to Tangtang's Childhood - Part 1
One day, in the realm of gods, at the Heavenly Dao Temple.
Wei Yuan pestered Yu Tang to tell him about his experience cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness on the Floating Light Continent.
Yu Tang thought back carefully, scratched his head, and said, "Things weren't very good back then."
"It wasn't a good memory either, so please don't ask."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan immediately became alert.
In the afternoon, I personally went to the Time and Space Administration Bureau, arrested Xiao Jin, and demanded that he show me the surveillance footage of Yu Tang's experiences back then.
The Time and Space Administration manages everything that happens in every dimension at every moment, and also records the past of all souls.
Of course, there are also video records of the time before Yu Tang became a god.
After Xiao Jin found it, he and Wei Yuan gathered together to look at it.
They even dragged Bai Feng into it.
As a result, the three of them watched for a whole day, and their eyes were all red from crying.
"Damn it! How dare they treat their master like this!"
"That Yang Tiandao, as the master's father, is too heartless! I thought he was a good person before!"
Bai Feng also said, "I really didn't expect that Yu Shenjun would have such an experience before becoming a god."
These people just want to put pressure on him without considering whether he wants to accept it.
"The cold-hearted Lord Yu of that time is completely different from the one now."
"As expected, it is only when Yu Shenjun is with Lord Wei Yuan that he can be considered the true Yu Shenjun."
While they were talking, Wei Yuan listened from the side, his eyes red and his fingers clenched.
Finally, he got up, took the videos, and said, "I'm going to find my master."
Inside the temple, Yu Tang stared at the images Wei Yuan was showing him, scratched his head again, and looked away: "Didn't I tell you not to watch? I doubt you'd like someone like me who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness."
"All I did was cultivate all day long, and I was cold to everyone. I remember I was not popular back then, and I was not good at communicating with people. The disciples of Wujian Sect did not like me either."
Back on the Floating Light Continent, Yu Tang was a classic example of social anxiety.
After ascending to the realm of gods, the pressure lessened, and he gradually began to interact with people, with smiles appearing on his face more often.
But what I like best is living in seclusion, where I can chat with tree spirits, flower spirits, and all sorts of other spirits.
That's why Wei Yuan felt he was a warm person when he met him.
If Wei Yuan had met Yu Tang a few thousand years earlier, he would have found that Yu Tang at that time was a natural air conditioner, even his speech was uttered one word at a time.
“I like…” Wei Yuan put away the recording, bent down, grabbed Yu Tang’s hand, and said, “I like any kind of master.”
"Do you remember the memory swap you performed on me when you returned to the fourth world?"
"This time, I want to delve into your world and change this part of your memory."
Yu Tang understood what he meant. Although she was touched, she was still a little embarrassed.
He said, "Are you sure you want to get close to someone like me?"
Aren't you afraid my "central air conditioning" constitution will freeze you to death?
Wei Yuan looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes and said confidently, "I'm not afraid..."
However, once Wei Yuan entered Yu Tang's consciousness, as a newly initiated disciple of the Wujian Sect, he ran up to Yu Tang, raised what he thought was his most beautiful smile, and said to Yu Tang: "Senior Brother, hello, my name is Wei Yuan, and I am also a disciple under the sect leader. From now on, we are fellow disciples. Please give me your guidance."
But they met a pair of extremely cold brown eyes.
The tall, upright young man had white cloth wrapped around both arms and all ten fingers. He gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, and his brows seemed to be filled with endless frost. He looked at Wei Yuan as if he were looking at a cold, lifeless object, not a person.
His master had never looked at him like that before...
Wei Yuan's smile froze on his face involuntarily. By the time he came to his senses, Yu Tang had already brushed past him.
Chapter 15
Extra Chapter: Wei Yuan Travels Back to Tangtang's Childhood - Part 2
Wei Yuan was utterly devastated.
After standing frozen in place for a while, he finally caught up with Yu Tang.
They called out around Yutang, "Senior brother, senior brother, did you hear me just now? I said my name is Wei Yuan."
Wei Yuan understood that indifferent people are most afraid of shameless people.
Anyway, back in the God Realm, he was used to being shameless in order to get benefits from his master.
This time, he'll use that shameless attitude; he refuses to believe he can't win Yu Tang's heart!
But he discovered that the faster he walked, the faster Yu Tang walked.
I practically flew around, constantly trying to keep as far away from him as possible!
A question mark appeared above Wei Yuan's head. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he chased after Yu Tang for most of the sect before finally panting and stretching out his arms to block the boy's path!
"Senior Brother!"
