Ten Thousand Years of Reincarnation, Now Invincible in the Mortal World with My Sword

Ten thousand years ago, sword cultivators possessed peerless killing power and stood unrivaled beneath the heavens. But their glory was fleeting. After Gongsun Yue, the last Sword Emperor, passed away, no one in the world could cultivate sword aura again, and the sword cultivators vanished. Ten thousand years later, a boy fishing by the river has a mind filled with memories of ninety-seven past lives and reincarnations. In his ninety-seventh life, he was the ruler of Dongfan. He loved music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and had no interest in state affairs. Though he had the aptitude for immortality, the immortal sects had rules against accepting royalty and nobility. He later abdicated in favor of his son and died of old age in the imperial palace. In his ninety-sixth life, he was a down-and-out scholar in the Eastern Sui Dynasty. He lived in poverty all his life and had the aptitude for immortality. An immortal sect had chosen him, but someone secretly sabotaged him and took his place. He never uncovered who was behind it, and spent decades as a private tutor before dying of old age. In his ninety-fifth life, he was a butcher in the Northern Frontier Dynasty. He lived an honest, uneventful life and had the aptitude for immortality, but refused to leave his parents behind to pursue cultivation. He later died of tuberculosis. In all ninety-seven lives, he had the aptitude for immortality, yet never the chance to cultivate. “I never meant to become an immortal.” Ruan Ye shook his head and sighed softly. But in this life, the three-foot blade at his waist slowly slid from its sheath, its sword aura stretching ninety thousand miles.
