Chapter 109: Summary of Volume One and Timeline

From Chapter 01, where Zhang Fan went sightseeing, until Chapter 106, where the new Human Zodiac was born, it totaled 300,000 words. It counts as a complete volume, and as a stage completion of a story, I am quite satisfied.

However, because a large number of timelines were interspersed, some people might not understand it clearly. Today, I will sort it out for everyone according to the normal timeline.

In fact, from the beginning of the story, Zhang Fan went to Zhenwu Mountain for sightseeing and first learned about cultivation. In his first attempt, he was able to have his soul-aspect leave his body. Compared to a genius like Xia Xia Weisheng, who practiced for forty-nine days to reach this step, by comparison, the protagonist can be considered a cheater, but there must be logical rationality behind it.

Those who have read it should know that Zhang Fan before Zhenwu Mountain had his soul-aspect awakened, but later he entered the Great Ye Bu Liang and became an ordinary person, forgetting many things.

Therefore, if Volume One has a theme, it should be called 【Retrieval】 or 【Rebirth】. The whole volume revolves around Zhang Fan stepping into the cultivation world after going down the mountain, gradually discovering his own differences, his father's differences, the differences of many people around him... overturning the past, finding the lost self, and finding the truth of ten years ago.

Below, I will sort out the timeline of Zhang Fan's retrieval in normal order for everyone.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Great True Person Zhang Daoling was enlightened by Taishang Mount Laojun at 【He Ming Mountain】, secretly received the Heavenly Book, founded the Orthodox Alliance, and later founded the sect at Long Hu Shan, starting the lineage of Taoism.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The 【Wu Wei Sect】 rose with the trend, claiming to "seek the Wu Wei path of longevity with the method of life and death of having," built temples in the mountains, set up views in the rivers, controlled all the demons and ghosts in the world, encompassed the incense of the four seas, swept across the six directions, suppressed the Dao of the universe, and had a great influence, affecting all Daoist sects in the world.

For the next two thousand years, led by the Zhang family of Long Hu Shan, they united the masters of the Taoist sects in the world to launch nine 【Mountain-Breaking and Temple-Destroying】 campaigns to kill the Wu Wei demons. Their slogan: Orthodox Alliance, Taishang Dharma Decree. Inherit the three days, kill ghosts and give birth to people. Punish evil and cut down the false, organize ghost energy.

A hundred years ago, the Wu Wei Sect's 【Three-Corpse Daoist】 mastered one of the nine great inner alchemy methods, 【Three-Corpse Life-Illuminating】, and became the number one master in the world.

Eighty years ago, the Central Plains suffered, and the common people were robbed. The masters of the Daoist sects in the world gathered at Long Hu Shan to hold the 【Universal Great Offering】, inviting three thousand six hundred gods to pray for the human world, but unexpectedly triggered the 【Great Daoist Calamity】. Since then, the masters of the Daoist sects in the world have withered, many Dharma lineages have been cut off, and Long Hu Shan, one of the ten great Daoist sects in the world, has closed its mountain gate, and no incense has been raised for eighty years. That year, only one young man on Long Hu Shan escaped death and avoided the calamity. He was Chu Chu Chaoran of Zhenwu Mountain. He brought his master's severed hand and the Zhenwu Jade Tablet back to Zhenwu Mountain, never mentioning this matter.

Sixty years ago, Chu Chu Chaoran of Zhenwu Mountain entered the 【Pure Yang Limitless】 realm and fought with the Three-Corpse Daoist at the peak of Mount Mount Dongyue for three days and three nights. Only Chu Chu Chaoran walked down the mountain. The number one master in the world became an echo, and the Wu Wei Sect ceased its activities and never appeared again.

Twenty-four years ago, 【Great Lingzong Wang】 Zhang Lingzong mastered one of the nine great inner alchemy methods, 【Divine Demon Saint Embryo】, and led his partners, 【Nine-Fingered Talisman Demon】 Liu Liu Fusheng, 【Yin Mountain Ghost King】 Xiong Xiong Sanqi, and 【Northern Dipper Wilderness Scholar】 Wang Wang Zhenhuang, to visit famous mountains and Daoist temples, sweeping across the seven provinces of the southeast, invincible and undefeated. In the same year, he met Li Li Linglong, the leader of the 【Human Zodiac】 of the Wu Wei Sect's 【Thirteen Zodiacs】. The two combined, and the following year gave birth to a son, named 【Zhang Fan】.

Eleven years ago, Zhang Fan mastered one of the nine great inner alchemy methods, 【Divine Demon Saint Embryo】. In the same year, Li Li Changgeng, the successor of Bai He Guan, mastered one of the nine great inner alchemy methods, 【Heaven and Earth Seizing Luck】.

Ten years ago, Zhang Lingzong reopened the mountain gate of Long Hu Shan, entered it, and brought out the Three-Life Coffin, which concerned the 【Great Daoist Calamity】 of eighty years ago, causing the Wu Wei Sect and the Daoist sects of the world to covet it, starting the chaos, and the great battle took place under Long Hu Shan.

That night, Zhang Fan and Li Li Changgeng fought for the first time. The latter was seriously injured and dying. Zhang Fan entered the 【Great Ye Bu Liang】 calamity. At the moment of the calamity, he used the 【Soul-Splitting Great Method】 to divide his soul-aspect into three. The fierce god hid in the yin, the evil god entered the Dao, and the good god returned to the aperture. Since then, only the Zhang Fan with the good god remained. His soul-aspect entered silence, his cultivation regressed, his past was forgotten, and he became an ordinary person. That night, Li Li Linglong, the leader of the 【Thirteen Zodiacs】, the 【Human Zodiac】, died. In Zhang Fan's later memory, his mother Li Li Linglong died in a car accident ten years ago. Zhang Lingzong used the Heaven-Stealing Method to cover up the 【Original Life Yuan Chen】 of the father and son, faked death to avoid disaster, and since then hid in Bai Yujing City, working as a laborer on a construction site. 【Nine-Fingered Talisman Demon】 Liu Liu Fusheng became a security guard at Hongfu Hongfu Huayuan, secretly protecting him.

This year, Zhang Fan graduated from university. Because of the emotional pain of breaking up with his girlfriend, he was taken by his good friend Li I-shan to Zhenwu Mountain for sightseeing and worship to relax. (The beginning of the story)

The Ancestor of Zhenwu Mountain once said: Zhenwu preaches the Dao for seventy-three generations, and the descendants participate in the calamity. Zhenwu Mountain has passed down to this generation for exactly seventy-three generations. Zhang Fan, by chance, came into contact with the Daoist cultivation method, his soul-aspect awakened, and he met the young girl Jiang Lai. With her help, he avoided the calamity several times, fused the Zhenwu Jade Tablet, awakened the Samadhi True Fire, and stepped into the cultivation world again.

Returning to Bai Yujing City, Zhang Fan joined Ye Bu Liang, met partners, such as Bai Buran, a discarded disciple of Zhenwu, Jiang Hu, a disciple of Maoshan, Wen He, a successor of Divine Sha, and Yu Fu, etc., thereby uncovering the Daoist Jiang Hu hidden in the secular city, and in several confrontations with the 【Thirteen Zodiacs】 (Taoyuan Square Dragon Tooth Incident—Pig Wang Tao, Shen Family Uncle Xuan Mirror Treasure Talisman Incident—Horse Wu Wu Qilu, Divine Sha Sect Apprenticeship Incident—Rooster Jin Mao), Zhang Fan also gradually approached the truth of ten years ago, gradually recovered his strength, and found the most critical memory.

Until the Thirteen Zodiacs gathered together and the new Human Zodiac was born, this volume is considered complete.

This volume has 300,000 words and dug quite a few holes, but they are basically filled. Of course, there are still some holes that have not been filled...

For example, the background of Zhang Fan and his father, the past and background of his mother Li Li Linglong, the truth of the Great Daoist Calamity, Jiang Lai's secret, the nine great inner alchemy methods, the Three-Corpse Daoist, Zhang Fan's evil god, Zhang Fan and Li Li Changgeng, etc.

These holes will be slowly filled in the future main plot, everyone, don't be impatient.

Finally, answer some questions that are discussed more intensely.

First, some people guessed that Jiang Lai is an artifact spirit. This... there shouldn't be such a thing as an artifact spirit in this book, so Jiang Lai is not an artifact spirit.

Secondly, Zhang Fan practiced the 【Soul-Splitting Great Method】, but he did not practice 【Three-Corpse Life-Illuminating】. In other words, the 【Soul-Splitting Great Method】 is just the basic skill for 【Three-Corpse Life-Illuminating】. Each of the nine great inner alchemy methods is extremely difficult to practice. At least in the current setting, no one can practice two or more.

This is also why each generation has only one or no one who can master the nine great inner alchemy methods.

The nine great inner alchemy methods that have appeared now are 【Three-Corpse Life-Illuminating】, 【Divine Demon Saint Embryo】, 【Heaven and Earth Seizing Luck】, 【Five Elements Wrong King】 (only mentioned, no practitioners have appeared), and the other five should appear in the future.

Finally, Li I-shan... forget it, don't talk about Li I-shan.

Let me sort out my thoughts for the next plot.

Thank you all for your support!!
