Everyone knows that the Yun couple are a match made in heaven, and all three of their children are extraordinarily gifted.
Their eldest son is a prodigy in the cultivation world. The path of cultivation is an open road for him, and every breakthrough raises the limits of the various cultivation realms.
Their third son is a hero of the people and the chosen one. He leads ordinary folk in resisting the demons and founds a secular dynasty, a once-in-a-century figure.
Their second son seems perfectly ordinary, yet everyone in the cultivation world knows him as a little lucky star.
Wherever he goes, treasures are sure to appear.
Rare treasures come calling, and ancient ruins surface.
If there's a road, he takes it. If there isn't, he builds one.
He benefits both others and himself, and no one can help but admire him!
Yun Kong: "I'm the cultivation world's lucky charm. Send money... I mean, spirit stones!"
In his previous life, Yun Kong thought he was the biggest victim in the whole world.
As soon as he was born, his father made him a vessel to seal a demonic soul. He suffered endlessly and couldn't grow up like a normal person. At twenty, he was still a short, chubby little boy.
His eldest brother was a revered immortal among mortals, laboring tirelessly to open new realms for the cultivation world and restore the severed path to immortality. Yet when Yun Kong was on the brink of death, his brother refused to help him, and was even too stingy to give him a single pill.
His blunt younger brother treated him like an enemy. Because the demonic soul inside him erupted from time to time, his younger brother was either chasing him down or on his way to do so.
He had clearly been the one who helped seal the demonic soul, yet he ended up with the whole world against him and died a gruesome death at the hands of demonic cultivators.
Yun Kong died full of resentment. He thought he would become an evil spirit, but instead, his soul was guided along the path to immortality into the celestial realm. There, he received Heaven's blessing and was absolved of all his sins.
Then he saw the truth, which was entirely different from what he had believed.
He hadn't been a vessel for sealing the demonic soul. He was the half-demon child of an otherworldly demon, with whom he'd merged while still in his mother's womb. His mother died in a difficult labor giving birth to him, and his father used up a thousand years of his life to save him, then had no choice but to retreat from the world to recover.
He was a demon by birth. Separating him from the demonic soul required a vast amount of merit. His eldest brother had spent his whole life working himself to the bone to save him, opening a new realm and restoring the broken path to immortality. He was risking his life in the process and missed Yun Kong's plea for help.
His younger brother pursued him night after day without stopping because so many people in the cultivation world wanted him dead. The only way to protect him in secret was to pretend to hunt him down. But when Yun Kong was in danger, his younger brother also fell into a trap set by demonic cultivators.
As for why his family couldn't protect him openly, it was because the presence of blood relatives could provoke the demonic soul and put his life at risk.
The story's final chapter ends after news of his death spreads: his father is overcome with grief, his eldest brother goes mad in his cultivation, and his younger brother is left on the brink of death in despair.
Heaven said, "You were born of love, and in your next life, you will live for love as well. Be reborn now, and in your next life you'll have a grand and eventful journey."
Yun Kong was silent for a long time, then made a decision that defied all reason.
He returned to the night he was born, twenty years earlier, bringing with him the merit and good fortune his father, eldest brother, and younger brother had won for him with their lives.
Yun Kong: "Why would I want some grand and eventful next life? I just want to make up for everything I regret in this life, then settle every last score!"
Note: This story has no romance. It's about family, a cherished Yun second son, and his family!
Theme: Do good deeds, build up merit, and live a happy life!
