And the room for maneuver would also be greater.

"How have you been these years?

Lin Fan inquired with a smile.

"My strength improved very quickly."

"And I participated in two not-so-major battles," San Ye responded, but his tone was hesitant.

Lin Fan pressed further, "Is there something wrong?"

"I..."

"Master."

"I suspect I've been possessed by a ghost."

After a moment of silence, San Ye spoke words that left Lin Fan astonished.

Lin Fan's voice turned solemn, "What do you mean by that?"

"Possibly invaded or influenced by a divine soul or remnant soul?"

"I can't explain it very well either."

San Ye hesitated, "It's just that my mind seems to have filled with all sorts of messy things."

"Some unfamiliar memories."

"Sometimes in the middle of the night, it's as if I've become a completely different person."

"I've tried many times to find the source of the problem, but no matter what methods I use, I can't find any clues."

"And in these memory fragments, there are always traces of the Sword Aura Great Wall."

"It's like I've experienced one battle after another."

"Slaying countless foreign sword cultivators."

"But..."

"I'm not a person."

"I'm just a blade of grass."

"So, I'm wondering if I've been influenced by some unknown means, causing me to feel like I've been possessed by a ghost?"

"..."

San Ye's words left Lin Fan speechless.

The more he thought about it from the perspective of being possessed by a ghost, the more frightening it became.

But was there another possibility?

For example...

The rebirth of a powerful sword immortal?

Lin Fan asked in a low voice, "Then, in those dreams where you experienced numerous battles and slew countless foreign sword cultivators, did you... have an identity?"

"For example, did you have a name or something else that represented your identity?"

"No," San Ye replied.

After careful consideration, San Ye smiled bitterly, "Whether in the memory fragments or in my dreams, no one has ever called my name."

"And it seems that everyone treats me with indifference."

"I haven't seen any proof of my identity either."

Lin Fan rephrased his question, "You mentioned experiencing numerous battles in your dreams and slaying many foreign sword cultivators. Do you still remember the sword techniques and sword intentions you used in those dreams?"

"Yes, I do," San Ye quickly replied.

"The Life and Death Sword Intention."

"The sword technique..."

"...is the Immortal-Cutting Nine Swords that Master taught me, but there are some differences."

"However, this doesn't help identify my identity."

San Ye smiled bitterly again, "The Immortal-Cutting Nine Swords are already well-known within the Sword Aura Great Wall. Out of ten people, at least eight have some knowledge of it, and those who have cultivated up to the ninth sword are not few."

"The Life and Death Sword Intention..."

"Even among the people I know, there are already more than ten."

"How many are there in the entire Sword Aura Great Wall? If we add those who died in battle in the past..."

Lin Fan frowned as he listened.

It was indeed impossible to distinguish! The clues seemed useful, but they were like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Fan could tell that San Ye was currently troubled by this issue and was feeling very distressed.

He was also on guard!

San Ye was genuinely afraid of being possessed by a ghost and didn't know when he might suddenly turn into someone else...

Oh, no, another blade of grass.

Lin Fan could only offer comfort based on his thoughts, "There's no need to rush. Since your memory fragments and dreams are becoming more frequent, I believe you will eventually get closer to the truth."

"And you think it's a ghost possession? I, on the other hand, believe it's something else."

"Have you ever heard of... rebirth?"

"Rebirth?" San Ye responded, perplexed.

"Let me give you an example," Lin Fan said, trying to keep his voice calm and detached.

"I believe that you might not be 'possessed by a ghost' but rather, in your previous life, you were a powerful sword cultivator who perished at the Sword Aura Great Wall. After an unknown amount of time, your true spirit remained unextinguished..."

"Eventually, you transcended the cycle of reincarnation and became who you are now."

"During this process, you gradually witnessed fragments of your past life and slowly awakened your previous memories..."

"This is one form of rebirth."

"Do you think your current state has any similarities to this situation?"

San Ye fell silent.

After a moment, he asked, "What do you think, Master?"

"I believe it's highly possible," Lin Fan emphasized.

"Remember, before you left, you said that the Sword Aura Great Wall was calling to you, and you seemed to have seen many scenes related to it?"

"If it were a ghost possession, wouldn't the changes have occurred after you arrived at the Sword Aura Great Wall?"

"This..." San Ye paused, thinking that Lin Fan's words made sense.

Indeed, the changes in San Ye had begun before arriving at the Sword Aura Great Wall, and they became more frequent and intense afterward.

"So, Master, are you suggesting that I shouldn't resist or avoid it, but instead face everything head-on and recover my past life's memories?"

Lin Fan sighed, "I can't say for sure about such matters."

"Even if it is rebirth, everyone has their own choices. I can't and shouldn't make decisions for you."

"It's all up to you."

"Follow your heart."

"Whether you want to face everything and uncover the truth or choose to respect the present and let everything be, it's your decision."

"But before that, I'll find an opportunity to check if there's truly a case of ghost possession..."

Lin Fan indeed suspected that San Ye was the rebirth of a powerful figure, as his behavior had always been abnormal.

His innate talent in the Sword Dao was incredibly shocking, with numerous sword cultivators, and the sword techniques he created were equally astonishing.

There were also those sudden memory fragments and something like a 'destined summons'...

Everything seemed to fit the template of a reborn protagonist.

However, it was still necessary to be cautious.

What if it truly was a ghost possession?

"..."

"What Master said makes perfect sense."

"But, I'm a little scared."

"Scared of what?"

"Well, I've never heard of rebirth, but I have a vague concept of it."

"I'm afraid that if I awaken my past life's memories and regain everything I've lost, will I still be San Ye?"

"I..."

"Will I still know my Master, my fellow disciples, and my brothers and sisters?"

"I'm afraid I'll become a complete stranger, someone even I dislike."

San Ye was filled with melancholy.

There were some things he didn't say.

The Sword Immortal in his dream...

"Extremely ruthless!"

His face never showed a hint of emotion.

And...

"Extremely cold."

So cold, it was indescribable!

If he became like that...

What should he do?

So, all along, San Ye had been torn inside.

He wanted to seek the truth and know everything.

But he also worried that after learning the truth and understanding everything, he would no longer be himself.

"In this world, there are no perfect solutions."

"Moreover, I believe you won't forget me or our sect."

"If you do forget..."

Lin Fan laughed, "Then I'll make you remember."

Strictly speaking, Lin Fan didn't consider himself a very competent Master.

Although he had taught them many invincible techniques and methods, and when there was a need, he would personally guide them, but before that, he had already taken advantage of their talents, strengths, and skills...

At this moment, San Ye rarely encountered a problem, feeling utterly lost.

So naturally, he needed to give him confidence and become the 'pillar' in his heart!

He needed to help him dispel the fog.

Give him confidence.

Let him face the past and the future head-on!

Moreover, Lin Fan genuinely had this confidence.

San Ye's talent was heaven-defying and indeed worthy of being called a freak.

But no matter how freakish you are, I'm still your Master.

Even if I can't suppress you... I can still share in it, right?

After sharing the abilities of so many main character templates, and even bringing them along, you still can't be suppressed?

I don't believe it!

Lin Fan's sudden words startled San Ye for a moment.

But soon, he calmed down and smiled.

"What the Master says is true."

"With the Master here..."

"What is there to worry about these changes?"

His inner conflict was resolved.

"Perhaps it's time for me to seek the truth of everything."

In the days since, the San Ye in the dream had been afraid to delve too deeply, merely observing as a bystander.

He thought that if he took the initiative,

and explored the world within the dream, perhaps he would make different discoveries?

At the very least, he would get one step closer to the truth.

"Then, let's set a goal first."

Lin Fan helped him strategize, "At least, let's figure out who you were in your past life."

"Oh, no, we should first check if there's a possibility of you being possessed by a ghost."

"As the Master says."

"..."

...

After that, Lin Fan sat on the cold floor for an entire day.

When acting, one must go all out.

Even if those big shots upstairs could see through it at a glance, the show must go on.

If you don't even act, aren't you ignoring them and not giving them face?

If you don't give face, why should they turn a blind eye?

So...

Face must be given!

...

The next day, at dusk.

Lin Fan, or rather, in the eyes of others, the crazy woman 'Fan Qingzhou' who had possessed Lin Fan's body, stood up.

"I'm officially telling you all."

Lin Fan cackled, "Gaga."

"From today onwards, I'm Lin Fan."

"Whoever dares to call me a crazy woman again, no, whoever dares to say I'm a woman or call me Fan Qingzhou."

"I'll be their sworn enemy!"

After searching the soul and obtaining Fan Qingzhou's memories, Lin Fan perfectly imitated her madness.

The hidden Sword Devils, as well as the Sword Devil souls and remnants, couldn't see through it.

Moreover, no one responded.

Regarding Fan Qingzhou...

They especially despised her, keeping their distance.

Although they were all not good people, strictly speaking, there were differences among demons.

San Ye took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Lin Fan?"

"It seems you came from the Immortal Martial Continent, and after possessing this body, you should have inherited many memories?"

"How much do you know about me?"

"..."

Lin Fan cackled, "San Ye."

"You do have some reputation in the Immortal Martial Continent, a grass that cuts through the sun, moon, and stars with your sword."

"Your luck is quite good."

"It's just a pity that you're slightly inferior to me, tsk tsk."

"Is that so?"

San Ye coldly snorted, seemingly displeased, "Since that's the case, let's spar!"

"Sure!"

The two immediately engaged in combat.

Within the Great Wall of Sword Energy, sparring was allowed.

As long as it wasn't a life-or-death battle, internal conflicts were acceptable.

The two began their duel.

It seemed dangerous, but in reality, it was just an act.

They were creating a 'plot' where they fought to become acquainted, and in the process, they used some of the Immortal-Slaying Nine Swords and Fan Qingzhou's 'sword techniques' to dispel any doubts.

Lin Fan and the other him accomplished this.

After the sparring, both sides laughed heartily and set up a soundproof barrier nearby to whisper.

The surrounding divine souls and remnants saw this and secretly cursed Fan Qingzhou for being a bootlicker, but they no longer had any chaotic thoughts.

...

Later, Lin Fan found an opportunity to perform a detailed examination on San Ye.

It seemed like they were interacting after their initial sparring.

In truth, he was directly starting the operation.

Lin Fan used his full strength to examine San Ye, but just like San Ye's own perception, he didn't find any issues.

At the very least, San Ye's divine soul showed no signs of being influenced by external forces.

"Perhaps you really have 'reborn'?"

"Master."

"I hope you will pay more attention in the future. If I do anything wrong, please wake me up immediately."

"Rest assured."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

"My Master, you may not be good at other things, but when it comes to hitting people, you are quite the expert."

"..."

After that, Lin Fan temporarily stayed at the Sword Aura Great Wall.

The Sword Aura Great Wall had its own rules.

Although some say that rules are meant to be broken, challenging them recklessly without sufficient strength is a sure way to court death.

So, Lin Fan could only wait for the right opportunity.

He considered whether to find a chance to sneak away or to wait until he could make a significant contribution and leave openly.

However, achieving such a feat might not be that simple.

Or...

Lin Fan stroked his chin, "Should I go take a look at the Divine Tomb?"

He didn't know what the current situation was inside the Divine Tomb, but this was the Sword Aura Great Wall...

Surely, if something suddenly appeared, it wouldn't be too difficult to handle?

So...

If it was a crisis, he could handle it.

If it was an opportunity... it would be a great chance.

Anyway, he was just idling around...

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

He decided to go ahead with the plan!

He set up some formations and barriers, and while others weren't paying attention, he secretly created a clone of himself using the Immortal Flower technique, and then entered the Divine Tomb at his fastest speed.

"..."

His divine sense swept through the area.

Inside the Divine Tomb, there wasn't much difference from before.

However, with his improved strength, his divine sense range had significantly increased.

So...

After searching for a while, Lin Fan was shocked.

"That Zhou Qi, he's dead!"

"But..."

"What's the situation with this guy?!"

Lin Fan discovered a young man who was vigorously digging up dirt.

He wasn't digging up ordinary dirt, but the soil from someone's grave!!!

What kind of operation was this? Lin Fan was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't rush to confront the man, but carefully searched the area, and found that there was nothing else unusual, just this additional living person.

"So..."

"Is this the 'thing' that made He Qiang feel uneasy, always thinking that something was about to jump out?"

"It can't be that I'm playing a 'Divine Tomb' game, right?"

Lin Fan scratched his head.

Quickly, he decided to approach.

But he didn't hide his intentions, instead, he openly drew closer.

Currently, he couldn't discern the man's background!

Although at first glance, this youth didn't seem threatening, and there wasn't even any energy fluctuations within his body, but to suddenly appear in such a place, and even kill Zhou Qi, he couldn't be harmless.

Therefore, before knowing whether he was friend or foe, it was best to be cautious.

"Who?"

The young man suddenly looked up and met Lin Fan's gaze.

Then...

He revealed a joyful expression, "Who are you?"

"..."

This behavior was a bit strange.

Lin Fan was surprised, but he said, "I happened to pass by, and when I saw you here, I... saw you digging up a grave."

"So I came to take a look."

"Um, you can continue, don't mind me."

"That's not what I meant."

The young man rubbed his hands, shook off the dirt, and rushed towards Lin Fan, "I mean, do you know me?"

"Who am I?"

Lin Fan: "..."

"What?!"

What a guy!

Divine Tomb!

A young man crawled out!

And he had amnesia?!

You're freaking Chen...

Chen Bei, right?

Lin Fan was completely stunned.

"If it's really that guy's template, then it's definitely good news!"

"This strength is no joke."

"If I can convince him..."

"Pfft, if I can recruit him, my strength will surely increase again."

"Leaving the Sword Aura Great Wall and venturing into the Immortal World will be much closer."

"Marvelous!"

However, Lin Fan didn't blindly remain optimistic.

He still needed confirmation!

Lin Fan was astonished, "Why do you ask?"

"You shouldn't joke about this, how can someone not know who they are?"

"I truly don't know," the young man said with distress, "I crawled out of a grave."

"After crawling out, I encountered a..."

He gestured, "a small person about this tall."

"He hit me, but I beat him up."

"However, from the moment I crawled out until now, I can't remember who I am."

"So, I'm digging here."

"I want to see if the place I crawled out of has something that can help me remember who I am."

"But I've been digging for who knows how long, and I haven't found anything."

"..."

The young man let out a bitter laugh, feeling especially miserable.

Crawling out of a grave!

And right after coming out, he was in such a dark and gloomy place, and after finishing, he still didn't know who he was or how to get out.

He didn't even have anything to eat!

In the end, he could only dig up graves.

He dug for several years...

Who could endure this?

It was only because he was already 'not normal' that he was only distressed and didn't collapse, and he didn't directly die, with the grave's grass growing several feet tall.

Damn!

Lin Fan didn't speak, but in his heart, he was almost certain that this was the Divine Tomb's protagonist template, right?! The Red-Haired Monster's protagonist!

The tenth member of the Chen Clan, Chen Zhan's son, Du Guo Baitian's son Du Guo Xiaobai's reincarnated soul, and a key figure in the grand scheme of numerous ancient powerful beings!

In the story, he was a man who, ten thousand years ago, due to a decline in his cultivation, lost his beloved, and engaged in a life-or-death battle with Dongfang Changming, and was buried in the Divine Beast Cemetery for ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years later, he resurrected from the Divine Beast Cemetery, and after ten thousand years of changes, he embarked on a path of defying the heavens to survive and find his beloved.

Finally, he gathered the strength of all living beings throughout history and challenged the Nine Heavens, fighting against the Heavenly Dao, and eventually vanquished the evil Heavenly Dao.

Hmm...

In the end, he was the protagonist who challenged the Heavenly Dao.

To put it simply, he was incredibly strong!
