Chapter 418: Winner in Life

At this moment, Lin Fan was deeply moved. He stepped forward, patted Qu Xiangge on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Xiao Qu, I understand the suffering you've endured. Back then, I didn't think things through, and I never imagined it would bring you such a disaster."

When you've done something wrong, you naturally have to have the courage to admit it.

Seeing Qu Xiangge so sorrowful, it would be utterly inappropriate to mock him.

Originally, Qu Xiangge thought his life would be like this forever.

But when he saw Lin Fan, his heart suddenly surged with excitement.

The thought of fighting Lin Fan to the death had crossed his mind, but later he let it go.

When he was a cheerful bandit, he had once harbored ambitions for profound cultivation. Now that his cultivation had reached the level he once desired, after experiencing so much, Qu Xiangge had come to see things differently.

His only wish now was to become a real man again.

"Senior, it's not your fault. At first, I was also excited, but after going through all this, I've come to terms with it. I just want to live a stable life," Qu Xiangge said, a pleading look in his eyes.

"Xiao Qu, are you really willing to give up your current strength?" Lin Fan was somewhat reluctant to see Qu Xiangge return to his original state. A master was hard to come by; if he could take him under his wing, it would be a good choice.

"Willing... willing..." Qu Xiangge nodded hastily.

For Qu Xiangge, his only wish now was to return to his former self.

Look at what he had become—what was that?

Apart from having strength, he was completely neither male nor female.

He had a man's body but woman's features.

He was nothing short of a monster.

Sometimes Qu Xiangge himself wondered whether he was a man or a woman.

Lin Fan wore an inscrutable expression, but inwardly he was pained. He hadn't expected the "Yin-Yang Aberrant Body" he created to be so powerful, nor did he know how far it could ultimately go.

But since the man wanted to return to his original state, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"Very well, since that's the case, I'll change you back," Lin Fan said calmly.

"Thank you, Senior." At that moment, Qu Xiangge revealed a sincere smile.

For Qu Xiangge, this was truly joyful.

Lin Fan had Qu Xiangge stand up. This fellow had his gender changed by "Reversing Heaven and Earth"; now, applying "Reversing Heaven and Earth" again could change him back.

"Be prepared. After the reversal, your cultivation will be completely gone, and you'll become an ordinary person," Lin Fan said.

"Mm, I'm ready." Qu Xiangge nodded expectantly. He had been waiting for this outcome for a long, long time.

Before that, Lin Fan extracted the Rule Chains that Qu Xiangge had condensed. Although there were only ten, no matter how small, every bit counted.

Lin Fan glanced at Qu Xiangge's crotch and took a deep breath. Damn, the scene was a bit strange.

Then Lin Fan took gloves out of his backpack. For someone who valued cleanliness like Lin Fan, hygiene was important.

"Ready..."

"Mm, Senior, I'm ready."

"I'm coming now..."

"Mm, Senior, go ahead."

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, as if something extraordinary was about to happen.

"Reversing Heaven and Earth."

Yin and Yang transformed. On Lin Fan's palm swirled two mists, one black and one white.

These were the ultimate principles of heaven and earth—the Qi of Yin and Yang.

Lin Fan's ability to control this power was due to the特殊性 of this technique.

"Boom..."

In an instant, Reversing Heaven and Earth was successfully executed.

Qu Xiangge's body suddenly changed. A mist enveloped him, continuously altering his physique.

Lin Fan hooked his finger, and beams of light shot out from Qu Xiangge's body.

These were the special powers generated during the cultivation of the "Yin-Yang Aberrant Body." Ordinary people couldn't fuse with them at all. Now that Qu Xiangge was undergoing transformation, these powers were no longer suitable.

If they were forcibly left in Qu Xiangge's body, he would likely be torn apart by this power.

When the light faded, Qu Xiangge had become an ordinary person.

"Senior, I succeeded." Qu Xiangge looked at his body, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar sensation in his crotch, and was so moved he almost cried.

The two years of being neither male nor female were finally gone for good.

"Mm, you've changed back," Lin Fan said with a nod.

The technique "Reversing Heaven and Earth" was indeed somewhat twisted, but never mind. This incident also made Lin Fan understand that not everyone was pursuing power.

"But now that you have no cultivation, you need to be more careful in the future," Lin Fan advised.

Qu Xiangge had once been a bandit, living a carefree life. But ever since he met Lin Fan, that great demon, his life had completely changed.

Now, being able to recover was an extremely exhilarating thing for Qu Xiangge.

"Mm, Senior, don't worry. Over the past two years, I've collected quite a few things. I believe that if I work hard, I should be able to become strong again." Qu Xiangge didn't hide anything from Lin Fan.

In these two years, although Qu Xiangge had suffered greatly, his strength was considerable, and he had gathered many treasures.

Though he now had no power, with the things he had collected over the years, even if he couldn't return to his former cultivation, he could still protect himself.

Lin Fan looked at Qu Xiangge and sighed with emotion.

A winner in life.

Although his gender had been changed by Lin Fan, his cultivation had skyrocketed, he had soared through the heavens, seen the myriad facets of the world, and collected many good things. Now that he had regained his original body, even though his cultivation was gone, everything he had experienced was etched in his memory.

As long as he didn't meet an untimely end, Qu Xiangge would be a winner in life.

"Go now..." Lin Fan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

After solemnly thanking Lin Fan, Qu Xiangge trotted away happily, leaving the place.

Now Lin Fan came before the Pillar Holding Up the Sky.

The nine sect masters, along with Yan Huang and Fang Han, were all tied to the pillar.

Heart-wrenching screams echoed across the heavens and earth.

Wang Xiao Liu and the others hiding in the sect trembled with fear at the screams.

When the earth shook and the sun and moon reversed, their little hearts pounded with terror.

"Let me go..." they roared, pleading expressions on their faces. They hadn't expected the final outcome to be like this.

"Let you go? Do you think that's possible?" Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

"Senior Brother Lin, please let me go. This junior brother truly was wrong," Fang Han said, tears and snot streaming down his face.

They had witnessed the battle just now—it was an inhuman fight, far beyond their ability to contend with.

Even if they were all in perfect condition, they would be no match for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan glanced at Fang Han and smiled, then took the chick out of his backpack.

The chick came out, looked at the scene, crowed, and then stared at the distant situation, utterly bewildered.

That place had been destroyed beyond recognition. It didn't know what kind of great battle had just taken place—it was terrifying.

"Chick, go and bring me their storage rings," Lin Fan said.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." The chick's eyes sparkled at this. This was its favorite thing to do.

Lin Fan intended to make the most of these wastes. Although he didn't have high hopes for the treasures in their storage rings, many a little makes a mickle.

Look at these sect masters—in the past two years, they hadn't made much progress. They were even inferior to Qu Xiangge, utterly useless.

But then again, Qu Xiangge possessed the "Yin-Yang Aberrant Body," so his cultivation speed naturally couldn't be compared to theirs.
