Chapter 1 The Second Chance
"Whoa! Huh?"
"What how am i still alive? Didn't i die "
Ren Yu while sweating and gathering his thoughts went to take a look at his phone to see what year it was. It's year 2036.
"What?! This... did i go back in time? HAHAHAHA! it seems the heavens have not abandoned me!"
"i still have a year till the spiritual rejuvenation arrives i have to quickly prepare as time is running out and i've only got a year by then"
Ren Yu stood up and quickly went down to get his stuff ready to prepare for the spiritual rejuvenation so that he can get a foothold in the coming rejuvenation or potentially be a powerful cultivator.
Ren Yu rummaged through his belongings, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and urgency. He knew that he had to act quickly to maximize the advantage of his unexpected second chance. As he packed essential items, he mentally listed the key steps he needed to take.
"First, I need to secure a safe place to train and gather resources. Then, I need to find the ancient texts and herbs that can boost my cultivation. I have to be ready for the spiritual rejuvenation."
Ren Yu decided to keep his second chance a secret. He knew that revealing his knowledge could attract unwanted attention and attract potentially dangerous enemies. He needed to move quietly and carefully.
He grabbed his phone and called his old friend, Li Wei, who had always been interested in ancient history and some mytological legends.
"Li Wei, it's me, Ren Yu. I need your help with something important. Can you meet me at our old place?"
"Ren Yu? Is this some kind of joke? You disappeared a year ago! Where have you been?" Li Wei sounded shocked and confused.
"It's a long story. Just trust me and meet me. I'll explain everything," Ren Yu urged.
They met at an old teahouse they used to frequently go to. Li Wei was already there, looking anxious and skeptical.
"Ren Yu, what's going on? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Ren Yu took a deep breath. "I need your help with something important. There's a big event coming up, and I need to prepare. I can't explain everything right now, but I need to gather some specific resources and find a secluded and remote place."
Li Wei, though bewildered, saw the earnestness in Ren Yu's eyes. "Alright, I'll help you. But we need a plan."
Ren Yu nodded, relieved. "We'll need to gather cultivation manuals, herbs, and other necessities. We'll also need to find a secluded place where no one can interrupt me."
Over the next few weeks, Ren Yu and Li Wei worked tirelessly. They scoured ancient bookstores, visited remote villages known for their mystical traditions and ancient histories and practices, and even sought out reclusive masters who might possess the knowledge they needed. Ren Yu's memories of his past life guided them, helping them avoid dead ends and uncover hidden treasures.
Ren Yu kept his true intentions hidden from Li Wei, presenting their mission as a shared pursuit of ancient knowledge. As they gathered the necessary resources, Ren Yu secretly identified suitable locations for cultivation. He knew that after the spiritual rejuvenation, he would need to retreat to these spots to train and grow stronger.
The day of the spiritual rejuvenation was fast approaching. Ren Yu stood on a cliff, overlooking the valley below. The air was thick with anticipation. He could feel that the world was changing day by day, preparing for the monumental event.
"I'm ready," Ren Yu thought, his eyes blazing with determination. "This time, I'll seize my destiny and protect those I care about."
As the first rays of dawn broke over the horizon, Ren Yu felt a surge of energy wash over him. The spiritual rejuvenation had begun. He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to absorb the powerful energy flowing through the world. This was his moment, his second chance to become a powerful cultivator and change his fate.
