Long Lian endured the heavenly tribulations and ascended. He sought no eternal life, only to cut down every martial immortal in the Immortal Court with a single sword and avenge his sword spirit, Yiyu!
The day he ascended was also the day he slaughtered every martial immortal in the Immortal Realm, alone with his sword.
In the end, he broke the laws of heaven, had his cultivation sealed, and was banished to the mortal world.
Reduced to a "cripple," he returned to his sect, only to be defeated by the six female disciples he'd once painstakingly taught.
"Master~ It's time to pay your debt!" x6
"Wait... you ungrateful disciples! Don't come near me!!"
(It turns out Long Lian's teachings were problematic all along. His disciples' filial devotion had become something else entirely.)
To escape this life, he seized a sliver of opportunity and entered the river of time. But who could return to the past without paying a price? When he opened his eyes again...
A dragon girl with cascading silver-white hair and a pair of crystalline horns stood on his bed.
"Hm? I'm not dead? Did I succeed?"
But when she looked in the mirror...
"No... This... is that me?!"
What's more, the body from his previous life was lying safe and sound on the bed, eyes open and looking up at her!!??
It said, "God or human... Go walk among the people. The seven emotions and six desires, love and hate, anger and greed, will bring you endless pain. When the time comes, come tell me what you... are. Farewell, my old friend."
This book is also titled The Rain Falls, the Dragon Departs, and the Phoenix Returns.
P.S. The first side story was written during the author's high school years in a fit of madness and is being revised. Please don't read it, everyone!
