Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei stood facing the dozen or so children, a book in his hand.
"What's going on? Why am I here? What am I doing?" Looking at the youthful, naive faces of the children, Ye Yunfei felt utterly bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.
"Teacher, hurry up and teach us! Why did you stop halfway through?" At that moment, all dozen children were staring at Ye Yunfei with curious looks. One of them spoke up to ask.
"Teacher? Teach? What is all this?" Seeing all the children looking at him with strange expressions, Ye Yunfei became even more confused.
"Teacher, you only explained half of this article. Aren't you going to teach us the rest? It'll soon be time for dismissal," another child said loudly.
"Teacher? Am I your teacher?" Hearing the child's question, Ye Yunfei finally snapped to his senses and couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? All my cultivation... it seems to have completely vanished. Right now, I'm just like a scholar not even strong enough to truss a chicken." Then Ye Yunfei discovered something terrifying: his formidable cultivation had disappeared without a trace. He was like a mortal who had never cultivated a day in his life.
Realizing this, Ye Yunfei instantly paled in fright.
It was important to remember: Ye Yunfei had come from the Tianxuan Continent, enduring countless hardships and exerting immense effort along the way, finally managing to become a Heavenly God. If he were to suddenly lose all his cultivation and become a mortal again, he simply could not accept it.
In his panic, Ye Yunfei abruptly threw down the book in his hand and then tried to circulate the energy within his body. But there was no response. No matter how he tried, there wasn't the slightest trace of energy. He truly seemed to be nothing but an ordinary mortal.
"Just what has happened?" However, no matter how Ye Yunfei struggled from then on, he couldn't change the fact that he was now a mortal.
Meanwhile, seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly behave like a different person, acting in all sorts of strange ways, the children were greatly surprised.
"Has Teacher gone mad?"
"Teacher was always fine before, why did he suddenly lose his mind?" ...
The children stood at a distance, watching Ye Yunfei's peculiar antics as they speculated among themselves.
At that moment, many unfamiliar yet somehow familiar memories suddenly surged into Ye Yunfei's mind. He remembered now. He was an ordinary teacher in a village school. These before him were his students. Just moments ago, he had been explaining a rather advanced article to them—advanced for their level—but had only gotten halfway through when his memories became jumbled, leading to those strange actions.
"I'm actually a schoolteacher? How is this possible?" Ye Yunfei was baffled. "Then what were all my past experiences?" he wondered silently.
Although Ye Yunfei greatly doubted this 'schoolteacher' identity, the ironclad fact remained that he currently possessed no cultivation power and was a mortal who had never cultivated. Thus, he had no choice but to temporarily accept this identity.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei continued to live his life as a schoolteacher, relying on teaching the village children to make a living.
And so, after living as a teacher for five or six years, Ye Yunfei finally began to grow weary of this life. He decided to change his path and, assuming the identity of a scholar, set off for the capital to take the imperial examinations.
Having made his decision, Ye Yunfei immediately resigned from his teaching post and, using the travel funds he had saved over the years, began his journey to the capital.
It was an arduous journey, traveling day and night, exposed to the elements, enduring constant hardship and fatigue, and encountering all sorts of dangers along the way. Once, bandits robbed Ye Yunfei of all his travel money and nearly killed him with a single sword stroke. Fortunately, a merchant caravan happened to pass nearby; the bandits hurried off in pursuit, and Ye Yunfei was only wounded, narrowly escaping with his life.
Without any funds, Ye Yunfei found it difficult to proceed even a single step, and even filling his stomach became a problem. Left with no choice, he found another teaching job locally, tutoring the child of a wealthy landlord.
Later, upon hearing of Ye Yunfei's plight, the landlord, in a generous act of kindness, gifted him a sum of travel money. Only then did Ye Yunfei have the means to resume his journey to the capital.
However, the final outcome left Ye Yunfei disappointed. He failed to pass the imperial examinations and attain a scholarly rank.
In the end, he lingered in the capital, working as an accountant for a small trading firm, barely scraping by until the day he grew old and died, having never achieved anything significant.
"This life truly was one of mediocrity and no accomplishment!" Lying on his deathbed, Ye Yunfei gazed at his utterly destitute home and couldn't help but sigh. Then his eyes closed, his legs stretched, and he breathed his last.
Soon, however, Ye Yunfei discovered he had arrived in another unfamiliar world, living another life with a different identity.
This lifetime, Ye Yunfei's identity was that of a security escort for a security agency, even a team leader. His duty was to personally lead teams transporting various goods entrusted to the agency. He spent years traversing the length and breadth of the land, practically without a fixed home, drifting from place to place.
Gradually, however, relying on his martial skills, Ye Yunfei earned a decent reputation in the martial world, becoming a somewhat famous security escort.
Wherever Ye Yunfei escorted precious goods, few bandits dared to come out and rob the convoy.
Finally, having amassed considerable wealth and attained high standing in the martial world, Ye Yunfei eventually established his own security agency.
After years of painstaking management, Ye Yunfei's agency continuously grew and prospered, becoming one of the three most prestigious security agencies in the martial world.
Ye Yunfei himself became a renowned senior figure in the martial community, widely respected.
In the end, when Ye Yunfei finally reached the end of his life, he looked upon the large group of his agency's escorts gathered respectfully around his bedside to see him off.
"In this lifetime, I, Ye, can be considered to have achieved some small success!" Ye Yunfei surveyed the security agency he had built with his own hands and the densely packed faces of his people standing before him, declaring with satisfaction. After speaking, he breathed his last.
But not long after, Ye Yunfei found himself yet again in another unfamiliar world.
In this world, Ye Yunfei's identity was that of a disciple belonging to a major power.
Initially, Ye Yunfei was merely an ordinary disciple. But through doubled effort and sacrifice, and enduring countless hardships, he relied on his own diligence and talent to climb step by step within this major power, eventually becoming a Core Disciple and receiving focused cultivation.
In the end, Ye Yunfei stood out from among tens of thousands of disciples, becoming the senior brother of this major power, and a dazzlingly famous young genius in this world, commanding attention wherever he went.
Furthermore, he gained the affection of a holy maiden from another major power, and they became an enviable couple.
However, during a joint expedition, Ye Yunfei and that holy maiden both encountered danger. Although they fought with all their might, they ultimately failed to escape the perilous place, perishing together there, bringing that lifetime to an end.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei felt himself appearing in one unfamiliar world after another, experiencing one different life after another.
Gradually, Ye Yunfei found himself beginning to gain some profound insights. His views on life and all things in the world started to differ from his previous perspectives.
Each different life, each different unfamiliar world, brought Ye Yunfei a different experience.
"What's happening to me? Am I undergoing the legendary Worldly Cultivation?" Vaguely, Ye Yunfei began to have some moments of clarity.
"Good. In this situation, he has actually managed to grasp some sense of his true self and is aware of his current state." A voice softly rang out at that moment.
And so, Ye Yunfei continued to experience one unfamiliar world after another, one different life after another.
Numerous precious life experiences continuously flowed into Ye Yunfei's memory.
Finally, Ye Yunfei's entire being became completely calm and composed. In every life he thereafter experienced, he began to achieve extremely high accomplishments.
Later on, Ye Yunfei relaxed his mental state, immersing himself wholeheartedly in experiencing, comprehending, and even enjoying each different identity and different life.
An unknown length of time passed in this manner. Suddenly, with a *boom*, Ye Yunfei felt as if an invisible shackle in his mind had been shattered.
His entire Soul Body, and even his entire level of existence, underwent a sublimation. His thoughts and consciousness had never been so clear.
*Whoosh...* Suddenly, Ye Yunfei discovered a vast amount of Great Dao Laws manifesting around his body. At first, they were illusory, but gradually they solidified.
Finally, Ye Yunfei found his body completely sealed within a dense, tightly-woven network of Great Dao Law chains.
"Congratulations, Young Master Ye. The number of Great Dao Laws you have now comprehended and cultivated has reached two thousand." Suddenly, a voice sounded by Ye Yunfei's ear, and he completely woke up, finding himself still seated within that previous, vast white space.
Before him was a stone table. Across the table sat Elder Lu, who was looking at him with a face full of smiles.
"Elder Lu, just what happened?" Recalling all the experiences he had just undergone, Ye Yunfei was deeply shocked and hurriedly asked.
"Elder Lu used a highly profound secret technique to help you comprehend the Great Dao Laws. The number of Great Dao Laws you have now understood and cultivated has reached two thousand." Seeing that Ye Yunfei had finally woken up, Hun Lao immediately sent him a Sound Transmission.
