Woken up

Ding Jie was panting heavily, he clutched his chest along with the blanket on top of it tightly

too much was racing through him, the sheer relief from the pain was heavenly, the lingering pain was helllike and he felt too disconnected from his body

'come on jie, just breathe' he thought

it was easier thought than done because all the different experiences his body was going through made It quite difficult and painful to regulate his breathing and heartbeat

think of it like trying to rope in an extremely hyperactive puppy, except that puppy somehow has enough energy that you would think it's caffinated and there also something that interests it right behind you

in short it was a lot

it took a few hours for jie to finally get everything under control, ge lied in bed pathetically and took in deep breaths as if the air was imbued with an all powerful elixir

it was only now Ding jie could perceive his surroundings

the blankets that were now wet from his excessive sweating

his robes that were also soaked

the desk he was all too familiar with

the bookshelf he spent years of his life piling books into

jie had to blink a few times just to make sure he wasn't dreaming

he jumped out of bed hastily somehow causing himself more pain but he headed off to his wardrobe because there was something he needed to confirm

he made it there shortly and opened it up to reveal near hundreds of clothes all ironed and organized according to color, but that wasn't what was important here, the only thing that mattered was the mirror meant to check how thr clothes fit on him

gazing into the mirror jie could not be helped but open and close his mouth like a fish

there he was, his unremarkable figure his black eyes and hair were just as he remembered, but everything else was unfamiliar to him

the hundreds of scars which earned him the title of "the sacred scar" were absent and instead untouched fair skin was there, the muscles he had built up over years of rigorous training was gone, replaced with noodle limbs instead

jie was thoroughly shocked, but still unbelieving afterall this could be a very realistic illusion his enemies trapped him in, so there was only one last thing to check

his cultivation

dropping to the floor, he got into a meditative posture and cleared his mind, which was a simple task for him

he then let any qi in his body flow through his meridians

1st stage foundation establishment start

that was his current cultivation

the starting point of every cultivator

it was as I'd someone gad poured cold water all over him

it was impossible, it should be impossible

yet no matter what he thought it had happened

he had gone back through time

he was now the young master of the Ding family once more
