Nine Celestial Reincarnation Technique (Dropped)

'I don't know how long it's been, ten hours, maybe twenty? I have been stuck in this endless void of nothingness. The last thing I remember is me sleeping, at my home, and here I am.'

Long Chen was just about to resign to his fate, when suddenly a blinding light enveloping his body, causing him to close his eyes.

After the light was gone, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a leg going straight for his face!

'Dodge', a voice was speaking in his head, and even though he seemed to be in danger, the voice sounded calm, and with a tinge of excitement within it.

Long Chen immediately ducked, and just as he avoided the kick, a hand went straight for his stomach.

"BOOOM", as he flew, Long Chen suddenly fell into a pair of gentle arms, and he did not know why but he felt extremely warm, safe, and comfortable in those arms.

A muscular figure appeared in front of him and kicked the people who were attacking him.

Long Chen then finally took a good look at the people who attacked him and realized that they were just kids, ten-year-olds to be exact.' I got hit by brats' he thought as he felt embarrassed.

There were three kids there and all of them stood up from their fall immediately, and looked at the man with fear, and said, "Father, why are you here? We thought you went for the sect alliance meeting."

The man suddenly had a pure blue looking substance emit from his body, and although Long Chen could not see the man's face, he knew the person was extremely angry.

"Right, I did go for the meeting between the sects, and it ended earlier, luckily, I was able to return rather quickly or you would have killed your younger brother, am I right?" The man spoke extremely calmly as he walked step by step towards them.

Long Chen was extremely confused, 'Younger brother? Me? Since when did I have siblings, and since when was I related to this man, he barely looks twenty himself and he is saying that he has ten-year-old children, three at that? Damn man, he got game if he can get girls at 10.'

Then, a girl, which looked like she was the youngest of the three walked up with a smile on her face and said, "Father you must be joking, we were just playing along with our younger brother, isn't that right, younger brother Long Chen, didn't you just ask for a fight to compare our techniques?"

When the man heard this, he turned behind, and this time, the blue substance disappeared from him and he asked gently. "Is that right, Chen'er, is what she said true?"

Long Chen, then looked at his stomach which still hurt, and was shocked. He looked so tiny, and his hands were so small as well. Long Chen hid his surprised expression and was trying to digest what was going on.

'It's obvious that I won't be able to figure out what happened to me immediately, but from the looks of the situation, I was getting bullied by my so-called elder siblings, and the girl over there is trying to twist the situation into her favor by saying that we were play fighting.

He did not fully understand what was going on but a cunning smiler appeared on his face as he said, "No, that's not true, I was just minding my own business and walking around when suddenly they attacked me, I tried to dodge but they started to hit me mercilessly if you didn't appear in time, I don't know what would have happened to me", as he said this, he broke into tears.

'HEHE, I act so well, I can probably get a noble prize with my acting skills.'

As he said this, the smile on the girl's face disappeared, and it immediately turned into one of fear like the two boys around her.

When he heard this, the man's face was expressionless, as he turned to the women who was hugging Long Chen, who had tears in her eye's and said, "Chu Xia, please bring back Chen'er to the mansion, I will deal with these three."

The woman, who still had tears in her eyes silently nodded, carried Long Chen, and walked away.

After walking for a while, she whispered to Long Chen," Everything will be okay, just go to sleep".

Hearing the soothing voice which seemed to be able to calm one's soul Long Chen, closed his eyes as he faded into his consciousness.

............….

As he opened his eyes, Long Chen saw that he was in a white, spacious place, which was like the nothingness he experienced before, he felt a little fear, but he quickly calmed down, that was Long Chen's nature, he calms down quicker than others and tries to keep his rationality.

Then he heard a voice in his head again, just like before when the voice asked him to 'dodge'.

"I am sure you just have a lot of questions Long Chen, so I will let you ask them before you get woken up again, we won't always have such a calm environment to speak."

Long Chen did not realize it before but when he heard this voice, it sounded like that of a goddess who descended to the mortal world, it sounded calm and as if nothing would faze her. The confidence in her words sounded as if she knew everything about what was going on.

Long Chen did not know why but when he heard this voice, his heart ached, it was only the second time he heard this voice, and he felt like he gained something he lost ages ago.

He suppressed his inner emotions and asked, "Where am I? Why am I here? Who are you? How did I get here?"

The voice chuckled slightly and spoke," you are currently in the Waymark mortal realm, one of the many mortal realms in existence. In your realm, you are in the Xafia continent, in the Kingdom of Esfer, a third-tier Kingdom. You are here because you have been given a chance to fulfill your lifelong dream of ascending to the heavens. As for who I am, that is not for you to know yet. You got here by spirit traveling, or also known as transmigrating in your world. "

Long Chen was trying to digest this information, after all, no matter how calm one can remain, this just sounded so stupid. Transmigration? That is the stuff that only happens in light novels.

It took him a while, but he understood the situation he was in, and he knew it wasn't as simple as traveling to a medieval time, after all, the voice did say 'ascending to the heavens' and there was also his supposed father giving of that blue looking substance. There seemed to be super-powers in play here but in the end, he could not understand one thing, why him?

As if reading his thoughts, the voice spoke, "the blue looking substance from before was Qi, just like the cultivation novels you have read of before. As for why you, it is not so simple to only explain, so let me show you as well."

Suddenly the pure white scenery changed, as he saw a young man in battle. It was not like an ordinary war, it was a one-sided slaughter, the young man alone faced countless opponents, and it seemed as If they were fighting for something. At the end of the battle, the young man held a book up. Even though he was far away from the battlefield, he did not know why, but he knew the title of the book.

'9 Celestial Reincarnation technique'

The image then paused as the voice continues, "That is you, well at least you from your first life."

Long Chen was shocked. 'ME? HOW WILL I NOT KNOW IF THAT IS ME!', he thought it was simply outrageous. But then he took a closer look at the youth and realized that they did look similar.

"I know it is hard to believe but there is a reason for all this, and that is the book in your hand".

'What book in my hand?" Long Chen looked down to see the exact same book the youth from before was holding was in his hands.

The voice then patiently continued, "The '9 Celestial Reincarnation technique', the only true-god tier cultivation technique under the heavens. You found this book in your first life and began cultivating it. What you thought at the time was that the technique merely gave you a way to advance, through cultivational realms faster, but you did not know the true value of the book, but unknowingly, this book allows one to reincarnate and allows one to live 9 lives. In each of your other lives, when you walked the path of a cultivator, the book would automatically find you, allowing you to live one more life, but unfortunately, you were not able to walk the path of a cultivator on earth, and the book could not find you, so after your death, you were transmigrated to a word where you will surely walk the path of a cultivator. And before you ask, you were assassinated in your sleep."

The voice paused for a while, allowing Long Chen to digest what was going on. It later continued and said, "In your first life, you were a sort of tomb raider, you had unparalleled skills in going through secret realms and finding high-leveled artifacts. With those skills, you were nearly able to find a secret path to the heavens before you were killed. In your second life, you were an unparalleled alchemist, people would kneel and beg just for you to make some pills, you even were able to create a pill that could almost forcefully break the barrier to the heavens. Only a few alchemists in the heavens were on par with you. In your third life, you were a blacksmith. Like when you were an alchemist, you were able to forge items that even the heavenly gods envied. You eventually created a sword that shattered the heavens gate, but again you were killed right before you ascended. In your fourth life, you were a rune-master. You were such a great rune-master that you forcibly forced the heavens to give you enough time to ascend but you were still killed. In your fifth life, you have unparalleled battle techniques and mastery over many skills such that even before ascending your battle power was on par with gods. In your sixth life, you were born as a demon, a demon whose Dao of killing was so strong that it caused the heavenly axis to shift, causing trillions, and if not more to die. In your seventh life, you were omnipotent in terms of the Dao and weapons, you mastered almost all the types of Dao and weapons you went across, you even comprehended the true heavenly Dao which no one has done before, even in the heavens. In your eight life on earth, you did not walk the path of a cultivator, instead, you walked the path of a businessman, and you were so cunning that you were able to scam billions of dollars, allowing you to earn resources quickly and that is why for your ninth life the heavens will finally allow you to ascend to the heavens as you should have understood the true meaning of life after all these millions of years."

After listening to all of this, the main thing Long Chen thought was, 'Did I do something wrong to the heavens? Why did they kill me so many times?"
