“What do you think of this matter?” Lu Tianling asked instead of offering his own views.

“There’s two possibilities…” He Wuheng mused. “The first is that the young master has finally learned a painful lesson from his last run-in and matured during the three months.”

“The other?” Light glinted in Lu Tianling’s eyes.

Lu Yun had not been reborn through possession. Just as the Tome of Life and Death had once brought him to the world of immortals through the power of reincarnation, he was well and truly in this world. He really was Lu Yun, like he’d been reincarnated into the boy.

The past him was completely sealed beneath three thousand reincarnations. He wouldn’t fully awaken until he became the heavenly dao. At that point, he would travel through space and time to return to his home and safeguard his homeland.

Everyone had a past life—the past Lu Yun was the equivalent of his past life. Everything he possessed now was a result of three thousand worlds and three thousand lifetimes.
