Returning to the Mysterious Era features a boy who can time-travel back to the past using old relics. The twist? He’s stuck in the body of the relic’s owner. 
After a near-death experience, Cassius unlocks his ability to travel to the past in the body of Li Wei, a member of the Wind Elephant Sect. Li Wei was a coward who lived a life of regrets up until the day the entire Wind Elephant Sect was murdered. As Cassius relives Li Wei’s past, he makes different decisions to show Li Wei a different kind of future.
By living out the ups and downs of Li Wei’s life, Cassius is introduced to the world of Covert Martial Arts, ties that run closer than blood, and supernatural forces. Crossing the line between the ordinary and supernatural, he realizes there’s no way back. New friends and enemies slowly integrate into his reality.
Now, he must uncover the secrets of Covert Martial Arts and get stronger to survive.

Collect legendary antiques and return to an era of mysterious martial arts! From the moment his hidden powers awakened, Cassius knew he was no longer ordinary...

[Legendary Antique: Wind Elephant Ivory Pendant]

Seventy years ago at the Wind Elephant Sect's Youth Training Camp in Beiliu County of the Hongli Federation…

"Liwei, you coward! On the day your sister met a tragic end, you trembled in a corner! On the night of the massacre, you shamefully fled! During those long years of revenge, you missed one opportunity after another! Now, let me teach you what courage is. Let me show you how to turn suffering into your own strength! I hope that when you finally sever your enemy's head, you remember this: You are a true man who stands tall and proud!"

In the mysterious era, there are hidden legends. In the sealed land of the Mist Continent, there are countless glorious ancient fables wailing to the wind in the ruins.

I will witness the legends you lost in the fog. The knights in the sky, the ghosts in the desert, and the rats in the mud. My sword points where the light is, and where the bullets scatter, flowers will bloom.

The winds of history will eventually blow away the trash from the graves of time.

I was definitely unsure of what sort of novel I was getting from the description, so the first thing is to explain that.

This takes place in an alternate history type world, so no country names we are familiar with, and our MC is out on an artifact dig when they get betrayed. He discovers the ability to relive the past through artifacts with lingering regrets attached to them. By resolving the regrets he can learn the abilities and martial arts of those in the past and bring them into his own body, allowing him to grow stronger.

So we have modern-ish cultivation/martial arts (more martial arts right now at chapter 50) with martial arts being hidden from the general public. The MC has a cheat to be able to gain more knowledge of martial arts that may have been lost in history.

And how is it? I'm having a good time. There are some mysteries in the background (What are shadow demons for one...), the MC is decently ruthless, but not uncaring, and the focus on lingering regrets means that there is an emotional aspect to the story where they have to think about the feelings of the different characters and how to react to overcome those regrets.

Right now I would say 8/10. Definitely a strong beginning, and I am excited to see where it goes.

I’m 117 chapters in (yes I subscribed to get earlier chapters) and I’m loving this novel! The main character starts out as a regular guy. He’s an orphan with no major close ties. He becomes OP systematically by resolving unfinished business for dead people. It’s like the Wuxia World version of Quantum Leap. It’s so cool because you get all of the mini arcs filled with mystery and mayhem. So far, the mini arcs have the best and most interesting side characters but more characters are now being introduced in the mc’s own time line. Dude is a beast and an awesome fighter. I highly recommend this novel! It’s new and the different time lines gives it more depth. I’ll probably update this review after I finish the novel. Until then, Happy Reading ✌🏾

I liked It at the beginig, the firts 100 - 150 chapters...

But then there's a new arc without anything especial, it's boring, monotonous, and MC just keeps getting stronger and stronger just because, no plot or caracter development, different cultivation paths mixed with no sense, no rival or enemy that last more than 2 or 3 chapters, and i believe that the real MC IS the plot armor, there's always an inexplicable reason to survive

You might like It, but it's no longer a good read for me, i read till chapter 213 and i can't read no more.
