Chapter 760: Two Timelines

Yet, this thought had barely arisen when Jiang Beixuan cut it off himself.

Rather than believe he had returned to the past, he preferred to think all this was mere coincidence.

After all, compared to his own Jiang family.

The Cangwu Jiang family before him was undoubtedly a thousandfold, ten thousandfold more terrifying!

He was utterly certain of this.

Precisely because, after witnessing the miraculous effects of the token and seeing the contact methods of numerous clan members.

He instantly understood that tokens of this caliber—comparable in material to imperial weapons—were not scarce; on the contrary, they were extremely numerous!

To see one spot is to know the whole picture.

Taken together, all these signs indicated.

This immensely powerful Cangwu Jiang family could absolutely not be his own Jiang family!

Moreover, when he was young, the strongest member of their clan had been no more than Foundation Establishment ninth layer.

How could they possibly have any connection to this family before him?

If he had not returned to the past, then what exactly was this situation?

Could it truly be nothing but coincidence?

Thinking of this, Jiang Beixuan looked at the shy boy before him and said tentatively, "Beiming?"

The moment he spoke.

Jiang Beiming scratched his head, his face filled with confusion, and replied, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Jiang Beixuan's heart trembled!

By now, an increasing number of coincidences had proven that this person before him was indeed his younger brother, "Jiang Beiming!"

To confirm the accuracy of his guess.

Jiang Beixuan probed again, "How is Uncle Daolin faring these days?"

Jiang Daolin had been the patriarch of their former Sishui City Jiang family.

Jiang Beiming's expression turned strange—he did not understand why his brother would suddenly ask this.

But he did not dwell on it, and quickly replied, "Ever since Uncle became the lineage master of our Kaiyang branch, his cultivation realm has surged forward! I heard that just three days ago, he reached Ocean Realm fifth layer........"

Hearing this, Jiang Beixuan felt utterly bewildered.

If he isolated each word, he could understand it.

But when strung together, it left him deeply confused.

Wasn't their uncle the patriarch? How had he suddenly become a lineage master of Kaiyang?

And how had his cultivation realm reached Ocean Realm fifth layer?

He faintly remembered that when Uncle passed away, his cultivation had still been stuck at Peak Mortal Realm.

So what on earth was going on in this world?!

Just as Jiang Beixuan was gripped by profound confusion.

A sudden disturbance arose in his mind.

A flood of unfamiliar memories surged forth.

Jiang Beixuan pressed his forehead, glanced at Jiang Beiming, and said softly, "I've hit a bottleneck in my cultivation; I cannot leave—I must devote all my spirit to breaking through this realm......."

Hearing this, Jiang Beiming's heart leapt with joy; fearing he might disturb his elder brother, he immediately took his leave.

Soon, the room was once again empty, leaving only Jiang Beixuan alone.

He returned to the bed, sat cross-legged upon it, closed his eyes, and began earnestly absorbing these memories.

In an instant, a flood of images flashed before him, giving him the sensation of having lived them firsthand.

No—those were precisely the very events he had experienced as a child!

These memories made Jiang Beixuan realize he had truly returned to the past.

"Then why has everything become like this now?"

Jiang Beixuan's eyes revealed profound confusion.

If the earlier part had no issues.

Then the source of all these changes clearly lay in what came after.

The memory images continued to flicker.

Soon after.

The first divergent timeline point appeared.

That was when the Wudan City Lord's family relocated to Cangwu Mountain and summoned all branch lines back to the main house!

"Huh? Strange—according to this timeline, wasn't the main house already destroyed by the Tang family of Wudan City?"

Jiang Beixuan frowned deeply.

In his childhood memories.

The news of the main house's destruction had spread throughout their entire Sishui City Jiang family!

So even after centuries, he could still recall it clearly.

Then, Jiang Beixuan's doubts were finally answered.

All these changes stemmed from the main house's patriarch, whom he had never met—Jiang Daoxuan!

According to what he had known, after the Wudan City main house fell, Jiang Daoxuan's whereabouts remained unknown.

Only when the Tang family looted the Jiang estate and opened the secret chamber did they discover Jiang Daoxuan's corpse, learning he had long since died, his cultivation forever halted at Peak Mortal Realm, unable to ascend to the Purple Mansion Realm, dying in regret!

"But now it seems our patriarch not only succeeded in breaking through—he seems to have gained other opportunities as well......."

When Jiang Beixuan learned that Jiang Daoxuan had slain the Ocean Realm master of Qianshan Sect, he could not help but feel a touch of surprise.

During these years of closed-door cultivation, not only did he successfully break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, he also broke through to the Primordial Sea Realm along the way, and even comprehended Sword Intent.

It was clear the opportunities within were no small matter!

But these alone were not enough to weigh on his mind.

After all, he was once an unrivaled supreme expert who had roamed freely across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

An exalted existence hailed by the ten thousand races as the "Great Emperor of North Mystery."

How could he care about such a minor opportunity?

At this moment, the scenes within his memory were still flashing rapidly.

The further it went, the stranger his expression became at everything that happened.

After defeating the Sect Master of Qianshan Sect, who was at the Primordial Sea Realm.

Within just a few short months, this clan patriarch had suppressed the Palace Master of Dahe Jiangong, a Sword Marquis-level expert named "Pei Qingfeng"!

Afterwards, he rushed to the Tang Clan of Tiandou Prefecture and slew the Tang Clan Old Ancestor, a Moon Wheel-level expert who possessed the Lei Lingti!
