Chapter 14: The Turning Point of Fate

Inside the allied camp.

After Guan Yu successfully beheaded Hua Xiong, Zhang Fei proposed seizing the opportunity to attack Sishui Pass, but was opposed by Hou General Yuan Shu.

Thus, after a heated argument, the eighteen lords each returned to their own tents.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Could this so-called novel truly record my life?"

Back in his own tent, Cao Cao looked curiously at the file in the chat group, then quickly began reading.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo bringing troops into the capital, and Lu Bu assassinating Ding Yuan had already happened; Cao Cao naturally felt no surprise.

Especially the recent event of Guan Yu beheading Hua Xiong with warm wine further confirmed in his heart the authenticity of the events recorded in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"The events recorded in Romance of the Three Kingdoms must not be false!"

Cao Cao thought silently to himself: "Although many places are passed over briefly, the key points are all recorded! If this were fabricated, the preceding content could not possibly be so detailed!"

However, when he saw Dong Zhuo moving west to Chang'an and the eighteen-lord allied army ultimately failing due to disunity, Cao Cao could not help but sigh softly: "What a pity! If the eighteen lords had worked together, how could that traitor Dong Zhuo have escaped?"

Immediately after, Wang Yun used a scheme of sowing discord, Lu Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo again, and then the Liang rebels attacked Chang'an...

Cao Cao occupied the entire territory of Yan Province, clashed with Lu Bu, attacked Xu Province, and his legitimate son Cao Ang died saving him...

When he saw that he had defeated Yuan Shao, who hailed from a family of four generations of three high officials and dominated four provinces, in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao wore an expression of utter disbelief: "I never expected I truly defeated Yuan Shao? Then the Wei Wu Di mentioned later is also real?"

Thinking that he would one day establish a new empire, Cao Cao found it extremely hard to believe in his heart.

But after seeing the Battle of Red Cliffs, his retreat along the Huarong Trail, the Battle of Hanzhong, and other events that followed, he fell silent.

"How many talented people there are in the world!" Cao Cao could not help but utter such a sigh.

After that, Guan Yu flooded seven armies, I died from a headache, and my second son Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor...

In the end, Sima Zhao assassinated the emperor in the street, Sima Yan usurped the throne and declared himself emperor, and finally the three states were unified under Jin.

"This..." Cao Cao fell silent.

He never expected that his title of Wei Wu Di was posthumously bestowed by his son Cao Pi after replacing the Han, and that the Wei Kingdom did not last long; first the world was divided into three, which was one thing, but in the end it was usurped by the Sima family who declared themselves emperors!

"Fortunately, none of this has happened yet; everything can still be changed!"

Cao Cao thought silently to himself: "Moreover, I have already joined that miraculous chat group; perhaps in the future I can embark on the true path of cultivation, and these regrets that were originally destined to occur will definitely not happen to me!"

Just as Cao Cao was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yue Buqun on Mount Hua also found a reason to send his junior sister away, then sat alone to read Smiling Proud Wanderer in the chat group.

"What a pity, I still failed and could not revive my Huashan Sect!"

After seeing the content recorded in Smiling Proud Wanderer, Yue Buqun could not help but utter such a sigh.

According to the records in Smiling Proud Wanderer, he gradually transformed from a gentleman into a thoroughgoing villain.

He personally killed his disciple Ying Bailuo, castrated himself to cultivate the Sunflower Manual, his daughter Yue Lingshan was killed by her husband, and his junior sister Ning Zhongze committed suicide...

Although these matters made Yue Buqun feel ashamed, what he regretted most was that he ultimately failed to revive the Huashan Sect!

"But..."

After finishing Smiling Proud Wanderer, Yue Buqun had many doubts in his heart: "Chong'er... how could he have such a temperament?"

Yue Buqun knew very well in his heart that his future act of castrating himself to cultivate the Sunflower Manual was certainly to restore the Huashan Sect to the position of leader of the Five Great Mountains Alliance.

But if Linghu Chong had told him in advance about the lost sword techniques of the Five Great Mountains sects stored in the stone chamber on Si Guo Cliff, as well as the news that Feng Qingyang taught him the Nine Swords of Dugu, how could he have been so desperate to cultivate the Sunflower Manual?

You must know, Linghu Chong was someone he had raised since childhood as his successor, no different from a biological son!

Yet this eldest disciple, who was like a son to him, concealed such crucial information from him, his master!

"However, Chong'er is still very respectful toward me, his master!"

Yue Buqun sighed softly again: "Even though I tried to kill him three or four times, he still refused to strike a killing blow against me!"

"In the end, it is because my strength is too weak! If I could possess the strength of my master, or even that of Senior Uncle Feng, why would I need to scheme to seize the Sunflower Manual?"

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun immediately thought of the Myriad Heavens Chat Group in his mind.

"This chat group is absolutely my opportunity!"

A spark of excitement flashed through Yue Buqun's heart: "If the Group Leader truly has lived for over eight million years, what unimaginable mighty power would he possess? If he would only lend me a hand, reviving the Huashan Sect would be an easy task!"

On the other side, after reading Shrouding the Heavens in the chat group, Pang Bo was even more immensely shocked.

Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform...

Sage, Sage King, Great Sage, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor...

He never expected that the world he lived in was so magnificent!

The only pity was that the protagonist was not him, Pang Bo!

However, if the protagonist was Ye Fan, then there was no difference between him and Ye Fan.

Thinking of Ye Fan taking him to the Immortal Domain as a free rider, Pang Bo could not help but slap Ye Fan beside him: "Ye Zi, you are truly awesome!"

At this moment, Ye Fan was observing the environment inside the coffin; suddenly slapped hard by Pang Bo, he was completely at a loss!

"Brother, what is wrong with you?"

Ye Fan could not help but shout: "Everyone is currently observing what is inside this coffin; you should take a good look too; perhaps you can find some clues!"

"No need to look!"

Pang Bo suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Ye Zi, let me tell you; we are currently flying toward Mars; we should arrive in a moment!"

"How do you know?"

In fact, ever since seeing the Taiji Eight Trigrams diagram condense on Mount Taishan and form a huge dark passage, Ye Fan had a bad association in his heart.

So now, hearing Pang Bo say they were flying toward Mars, he did not suspect too much.

"Of course..."

Pang Bo was about to explain, but soon other classmates walked over to their side, so he could only stop talking for the time being.

Ye Fan and he were best friends; in the future, Ye Fan even took him into the Immortal Domain together, so naturally he would not hide anything from him.

But this secret cannot be told to anyone else—best I can do is find opportunities to help those few classmates who treated them well!

…

In the Kingdom of Yue, within the Yellow Maple Valley.

"So the origin of the little green bottle is this significant?"

After finishing The Ordinary Way to Immortality and its Immortal Realm chapter, Han Li clenched the little green bottle in his arms.

"Yet even if I will become powerful in the future, right now I am merely an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator—so I must be even more careful from now on!"

"As for matters in the future, I'll deal with them once my strength grows!"

…

Inside the chat group.

【Lu Qingshan: I assume everyone has already read the novel's account of their own lives—what are your thoughts? @Cao Cao, @Yue Buqun, @Han Li, @Pang Bo!】

【Cao Cao: @Lu Qingshan, thank you, Group Master—your kindness today I shall never forget. Should you ever need anything from me in the future, do not hesitate to ask!】

【Lu Qingshan: Meng De, you're too formal. Since we've all been fortunate enough to join this chat group, we must help each other from now on!】

【Yue Buqun: I never imagined my future would be so tragic. Thank you, Group Master, for revealing this—I am deeply grateful. Should you ever need anything, I shall spare no effort!】

【Lu Qingshan: Master Yue, you're too courteous! But now that you've joined this chat group, your original fate has already changed!】

【Han Li: Thank you, Elder, for revealing my future to this junior—I am profoundly grateful. Should you ever require my service, I shall do my utmost!】

【Pang Bo: Me too. JPG】
