Accidentally Reincarnated in Cultivation World Chapter 386 - 4th Run Starts! A Weapon and Conspiracy

The weight of whole Humanity descended upon Yu Xuan.

Not killing intent.

Not suppression.

But sothing far heavier.

It was as if countless lives, countless histories, triumphs and failures, hopes and sins – all of them had turned their gaze toward him.

Yu Xuan’s Sword Domain trembled.

The Garden of Death withered as spectral figures froze mid-attack, their forms blurring, unable to advance further.

Yu Xuan clenched his teeth.

Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, yet his back remained straight.

He refused to kneel.

Xin Juesheng did not press further.

The Human Destiny Spear moved.

It was a simple thrust.

No radiance split the heavens.

No domain unfolded.

No killing intent.

Yet that simplicity was precisely what made it terrifying.

Before Yu Xuan could even comprehend the motion – before pain, before fear, before thought.

He vanished.

Erased from the face of the realm.

Dead once more.

Xin Juesheng exhaled slowly, a faint groan escaping his throat.

This was not what he wanted.

But even the heavens demanded sacrifices, and so lessons could not be taught with rcy alone.

Talent without restraint bred arrogance.

And arrogance bred ruin.

He had seen it too many tis.

And this boy, this absurdly gifted, dangerously adaptable child, needed to understand that there were heights he could not yet stand upon.

"That should temper him a bit," Xin Juesheng murmured to the empty space.

Then Ti rewound.

Like ink pulled back into a brush, reality folded in on itself.

Monts reversed.

All the Karma and Causality that occurred before Yu Xuan’s death began to reverse.

It felt that nothing had changed, yet a feeling remained that everything had changed.

And when Xin Juesheng blinked, he was no longer in Leaf Number 7462.

He stood once again before the Path Enlightening Tree.

Afterall, if Yu Xuan did not exist, why would he be outside, and the Ti Axis had clearly shifted, with the reset of this arrangent.

This was no ordinary loop.

It was a special construct, forged by an Absolute, one whose existence even Xin Juesheng treated with solemn respect.

Xin Juesheng turned and stepped toward the residence within the tree, his expression thoughtful.

A faint smile tugged at his lips.

"...This ti let’s at least learn your na." he muttered.

And with that, the Third Human Emperor entered Yu Xuan’s new residence once more, as the cycle began again.

***

Yu Xuan opened his eyes and found himself seated in ditation inside the tree once more.

For a mont, he simply breathed.

Then his brows knit together.

’...Why did the starting point change?’

He had fully expected to awaken near that Asura again, instead, he was here, in relative calm, beneath the vast interior of the tree.

"This loop system is getting more unreasonable by the minute," Yu Xuan sighed as he rose to his feet, already sensing a familiar presence approaching.

Right on cue a figure stepped into view.

"What do you think you did wrong?" Xin Juesheng’s voice sounded as the middle-aged man stepped into view, hands clasped behind his back.

Yu Xuan paused genuinely considering the question.

But before he could answer, Xin Juesheng continued, his tone casual yet carrying an undeniable weight.

"Ah, yes. I never properly asked for your na. I am Xin Juesheng and you may call Old Ancestor."

Yu Xuan looked at him strangely for a brief instant, then nodded without hesitation.

In a cultivation world, Old Ancestor was not a title one questioned.

It was a survival technique.

Cultivation World Survival Rule #101: Never argue with soone who calls himself Old.

"I am Yu Xuan, Old Ancestor," he replied smoothly, adopting the posture of a respectful junior.

Xin Juesheng studied him for a mont longer, then nodded slightly.

There was a faint, almost nostalgic satisfaction in his eyes.

It had been a very long ti since soone had looked at him with that kind of expression.

"Hm... good, you need a new weapon now," Xin Juesheng said.

"Though your Heaven-grade sword is fine... it is not enough."

Yu Xuan’s expression sharpened.

He had felt it too, during their brief clash. He needed a weapon which can be fully functional with the presence or absence of spiritual energy.

Xin Juesheng seed to read his thoughts.

"You will obtain one eventually, but I intend to speak with a few old friends first, now catch this." he continued.

Before Yu Xuan could respond, the golden spear was thrown toward him.

"What—!"

Yu Xuan reacted on instinct, catching it midair.

The mont his fingers closed around the shaft, a terrifying sensation surged through him.

He felt a connection.

And a terrifying greed followed.

An urge so profound it almost convinced him that this spear belonged to him.

His heart skipped a beat.

He forcibly suppressed the thought.

At the sa instant, the spear dissolved into radiant light and flowed over his body, transforming into an armor-like manifestation that wrapped around him seamlessly.

Yu Xuan froze.

He looked down at himself, eyes wide with astonishnt.

"...Can I keep this?" he asked honestly.

"Unfortunately, no," Xin Juesheng replied, his expression unreadable.

But inwardly, he was shaken.

An ordinary human had grasped the weapon that carried Humanity’s destiny... and lived.

Not rely survived, but synchronized.

That alone was absurd.

Xin Juesheng had fully expected Yu Xuan to be crushed by the weight of destiny.

Yet here he stood.

A youth from a clan with no record.

Yu Xuan did not belong to any Emperor Clan.

Nor to any King Clan.

Xin Juesheng knew every one of them.

The surna Yu did not ring any bells within his minds.

’Did a new King Clan rise while I was sealed here?’

Xin Juesheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

With the Human Destiny Weapon in his possession, no new Emperor Clan could have erged.

Then where did he belong? Because even arriving here would an that he is a prominent figure within the Heavens.

He imdiately checked Yu Xuan’s destiny with his connection to Human Destiny Weapon, and found that the boy did not even have the destiny of being born within a King Clan.

Which left only one possibility.

’...Is there a conspiracy unfolding beyond my sight?’

For the first ti in a long while, the Third Human Emperor felt sothing stir within his chest.

Not suspicion alone.

But anticipation.
