Monarch Of Time

Chapter 999 Mortality

Shun Fang initially wanted to reject, but hearing his wifeʼs pleading voice as she begged their son, the man could no longer bring himself to do so and simply remained silent.

After all, he had already experienced more than a decade of being a mortal in the ʼRoaring Waves Kingdomʼ at this point, and had already experienced the good and bad things a mortal life had to offer.

Originally, Shun Fang struggled a bit to adapt to the life of a mortal after living his earlier years as a respected formation master and a powerful earth-grade cultivator. However, he soon found out that being a mortal had its own benefits as well.

Although he no longer wielded as much influence as he used to in the past and just owned a large house in a wealthy street of the capital, Shun Fang was a bit contented with this type of life... in the beginning.

After all, he no longer had to deal with the obscure and deadly political scene of the kingdom he lived in, and no one would try to create trouble for some unknown mortal without any power either.

Both he and his wife could live out their years without being bothered by anyone, enjoying a life of peace and luxury... albeit a short one.

Even if a war erupted in the ʼRoaring Waves Kingdomʼ, Shun Fang wasnʼt overly concerned either. With Lin Huefeng living with them, unless they were faced with another extremely powerful Heaven-grade cultivator, their safety was pretty much guaranteed.

And yet, in the last couple of years, Shun Fang had started to experience the bad sides of being a mortal as well.

He could feel himself growing older and older, his body turning more sluggish, while his hair and beard had already started to turn gray.

Although the effect wasnʼt as apparent now that he was still in his 50s, Shun Fang knew that it would only get worse in the following years.

At the same time, the man had noticed the wrinkles that had started to form on both his face and his hands, a visible sign that he was aging.

Of course, aging was part of being a mortal as well, so there was no real way to prevent it from happening.

It was the main reason people became cultivators in the first place. To become more powerful while also seizing a longer lifespan from the heavens themselves.

However, it wasnʼt his own aging that Shun Fang was concerned with, but rather Shun Anʼs.

Seeing his beautiful wife turning old alongside him caused his heart to be filled with a profound, unstoppable sensation of loss.

It was only then that the middle-aged man realized what growing old truly meant; It meant eventually dying and leaving behind those you loved.

And as he got closer and closer to death, Shun Fang had started to feel that maybe being a cultivator wasnʼt that bad.

At the very least, he would be able to live longer and experience more happiness alongside his wife, his daughter... and even his own son.

...

Staring at his father, Shun Long could almost see the internal dilemma Shun Fang was going through. Thus, he didnʼt pressure him and merely waited for his answer. If Shun Fang was truly against cultivating again, then Shun Long wouldnʼt interfere with his fatherʼs decision.

However, a few moments later, Shun Fang raised his head and looked at him, a resolute look in his eyes as he asked

ʼʼSon... are you confident you can fix your motherʼs and my dantian?ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs lips curved into a bright smile when he heard that question, before he nodded his head and said calmly

ʼʼDonʼt worry, father. This may have been a bit difficult in the past, but now, itʼll only take a couple of minutes!ʼʼ

Stretching out his hand, Shun Long then placed it over Shun Fangʼs abdomen without another word, as the qi in his 72 qi balls exploded outwards, causing the aura of a peak rank 8 Dao King to fill the entire courtyard!

At that moment, it wasnʼt just the ʼYellow Amethyst streetʼ of the royal capital that was alerted by the emergence of this terrifying aura, but the entire ʼRoaring Waves Kingdomʼ as a whole, as every single high and low-level cultivator trembled in absolute horror.

ʼʼWhat the hell is this? What kind of expert has been angered?ʼʼ

ʼʼDonʼt tell me itʼs the old king? Did he come out of seclusion after so many years?ʼʼ

ʼʼNo, you donʼt understand! This aura is far more terrifying than the kingʼs! It probably belongs to some foreign expert!ʼʼ

Soon, the royal capital was thrown into turmoil as that powerful aura became more and more oppressive with every passing second.

Even the experts in the royal palace were no different from those commoners outside as the entire royal guard was now frozen stiff, while the high-level experts in the palace had already turned their gazes towards the ʼYellow Amethyst streetʼ.

ʼʼIs it that lady? Did some ignorant fool anger her again?ʼʼ One of the hidden experts in the palace muttered to himself as he glanced in the direction of the Shun estate.

Clearly, the high-level cultivators of the palace, those who had already reached the late stages of the Earth grade and above, were already aware of Lin Huefengʼs existence within the royal capital.

Even the king had been alerted in the past and had personally paid a visit to her once he learned of her existence, but Lin Huefeng simply dismissed him and told him that she planned to live there in peace. As long as no one meddled with her or the Shun family, Lin Huefeng wouldnʼt create any trouble for them either.

When he heard that, the king personally ordered the city guards to increase security in the ʼYellow Amethyst streetʼ and make sure that no one created any trouble in that place.

And yet, an aura even more terrifying than Lin Huefengʼs had now emerged from the Shun estate, causing the experts in the royal palace and even the king himself to become alerted.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Shun estate, Shun Long didnʼt pay any attention to the state of the current royal capital, and instead, he just sent his soul sense into Shun Fangʼs dantian to inspect its condition. ʼLookingʼ at his fatherʼs completely ruined dantian that was already beyond any hope of repair, he then took a deep breath before he mumbled in a low voice

ʼʼTime... Reversal.ʼʼ
