392: The Mystery of Reincarnation

“Although the Holy Son dislikes being entangled in worldly affairs, he probably won't be willing to give up the Holy Son position, so this matter need not be mentioned again.” An Elder spoke lightly, glossing over the matter.

If they continued, the Holy Master might just find an excuse to hit someone.

How the Holy Master position was obtained, these Elders and Protectors were all clear; there was nothing else to it but fighting for it.

In the cultivation world, strength is respected.

“With Lu Chen's strength of Twenty-Five Dharma Images, if he wants the Holy Son position in the future, he can just take it himself.”

Whether it was the Holy Son or the Holy Master, as long as you had enough strength, you could naturally replace them. This was not only the case in the Void Immortal Sect, but also among the Myriad Clans.

Otherwise, with the strength of these terrifying existences, once they sat on that position, it would likely be for tens of thousands of years.

Those who had strength and wanted to sit in a high position, who would wait for you to endure for tens of thousands of years?

“My Azure Underworld lineage is about to rise!” Several existences with astonishing aura looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

How colossal was the Void Immortal Sect? Its branches were spread throughout the universe starry sky, naturally forming complex factions.

“Lu Chen! Without you, if the Holy Son abdicated, that position should have been mine!” Some young Heavenly Pride also slowly clenched his fists, full of unwillingness.

Who didn't want to sit in the Holy Son position of the Void Immortal Sect?

Unfortunately, this wasn't something anyone could sit in based on connections or the strength of a certain faction!

Only the one with the biggest fist could sit in this position.

Otherwise, if virtue didn't match the position, there would surely be disaster!

…………

Mystic Heaven, deep within Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Holy Son Zhao Yujing sat cross-legged on a futon, while Lu Chen stood below obediently.

The Holy Son glanced at Lu Chen and then spoke lightly, “Sit.”

Previously in Azure Underworld, Lu Chen was a Doujian Peak True Disciple, but Zhao Yujing was the Sect Leader. The two didn't have the opportunity to sit opposite each other because Lu Chen's status was not high enough.

Not to mention Lu Chen, even the Grand Elder and others were not qualified to sit with the Sect Leader. There was a difference in strength, and status also had its hierarchy.

And outside of Azure Underworld, Zhao Yujing was the Holy Son of the Void Immortal Sect, one of the most noble and top-tier individuals in the entire universe starry sky. Lu Chen wasn't even a True Disciple, so the difference in status was even greater, and there was no need to mention the difference in strength.

But now, Zhao Yujing actually let Lu Chen sit down in front of him.

Lu Chen understood the subtlety of this, and Zhao Yujing understood it just as well.

‘The changes brought about by strength are sometimes truly wonderful!’ Lu Chen thought to himself, but he didn't stand on ceremony anymore. After bowing, he sat down on another futon, directly opposite Zhao Yujing.

‘What exactly is wrong with this kid?’ Zhao Yujing had already begun to make all sorts of conjectures in his mind.

Zhao Yujing could see Lu Chen's strength and foundation clearly at a glance.

Body Refinement Ten Dharma Images, Qi Refining One Dharma Image, so...

How did he manage to get Twenty-Five Dharma Images?

At that time, in the battle at the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield entrance, it wasn't just Zhao Yujing who saw it; almost all the Great Experts and Great Power in the entire Mystic Heaven saw it.

That was Twenty-Five Dharma Images, not one more, not one less, astonishingly powerful.

But now, what was presented before Zhao Yujing was Lu Chen with only Eleven Dharma Images, and that was only if Body Refinement and Qi Refining were counted together.

Never mind, it was perfectly normal for this kid, as an Ascended Being who was more powerful than him, to have some incomprehensible aspects. Anyway, he appeared to have Eleven Dharma Images now, but when he attacked, he would definitely have Twenty-Five Dharma Images, no doubt.

Furthermore, this kid was tight-lipped. If he didn't say anything, nothing could be asked out of him.

But then again, how did Lu Chen cultivate to this Realm?

He had been in Mystic Heaven for less than half a year, yet he had gone directly from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Faxiang Realm. Logically speaking, this amount of time wasn't even enough for a Yang Spirit Realm cultivator to cultivate a single Spell.

But Lu Chen had somehow crossed four minor Realms and one major Realm from the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm to enter the Faxiang Realm.

Body Refinement was even more exaggerated, going directly from the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm to the current Ten Dharma Images. Who would believe this if it were told?

But yet, it happened.

Thus, Zhao Yujing could only attribute it once again to Lu Chen's previous life: “This kid's previous life must have left behind various preparations, which is why his current progress is so rapid.”

Reincarnation is one thing, but you're doing this?

The problem is, I, the Holy Son, came down to the Lower Realm to protect you, but you got yourself some good stuff and didn't get any for me, the Holy Son?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yujing finally couldn't hold back and tentatively asked, “I have already seen through the mystery of Reincarnation. Where have you reached now?”

Meaning, if you know, quickly tell me the truth so that I, the Holy Son, can also know what my previous life planned.

However, Lu Chen's eyes were clear. He looked at the Holy Son, who was full of anticipation and even subtly carried a hint of longing, and subtly moved back a bit.

‘Mystery of Reincarnation? What does that have to do with me, someone who has transcended?’

I am already like a Dao Soldier, neither alive nor dead, not within the formless, an existence outside of Reincarnation, already possessing the characteristics of transcendence.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would no longer have a next life because he had already achieved eternal life in this life.

Could it be...

Did my Holy Son see through my identity as a transmigrator?

No, that shouldn't be the case!

He was just a normal Reincarnation, transmigrating from another world to Azure Underworld. What secrets could there be in that?

At most, he just recovered his previous life's memories. How big of a problem could that be?

Furthermore, having previous life memories didn't seem that strange, as Buddhism often mentioned that some people possessed 'innate wisdom,' which referred to those who had awakened their previous life memories.

But the Holy Son had already mentioned the mystery of Reincarnation...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration went through Lu Chen's mind. ‘Holy cow, could it be that the Holy Son is also a transmigrator from Blue Star?’

No, that shouldn't be the case.

The Holy Son's age was at least fifteen hundred years or more.

Fifteen hundred years ago, China on Blue Star was still in ancient times!

Could he see through his habits as a modern person and thus guess that he also came from Blue Star?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen tentatively asked, “Holy Son, do you know Laozi?” His expression remained calm on the surface.

Zhao Yujing's face darkened. ‘He's already calling himself Laozi in front of me, the Holy Son?’

Indeed, this scoundrel's previous life must have been more powerful than his, which was why he was so arrogant.

He should have known better than to reveal this.

But it was alright. My previous life's memories haven't truly recovered yet. Who cares about your previous life or not? Right now, I am the Holy Son.

If you dare to call yourself Laozi again, I, the Holy Son, will slap you!

Seeing his Holy Son suddenly fall silent, Lu Chen quietly closed his mouth!

‘Damn it, saying Confucius would have been fine too! Why did I have to say Laozi?’

But his Holy Son also had a good temper; he actually didn't hit him!

But one thing was certain: the Holy Son was not a transmigrator from Blue Star, so what he was talking about was not the same thing as himself. It wasn't a big problem.

Silence!

And he feared this sudden silence the most.

Zhao Yujing was afraid that this kid Lu Chen would take the opportunity to expose that Zhao Yujing was just a Protector. At that time, who knew how this kid would make him do dirty and tiring work. He was afraid of trouble.

As for Lu Chen...

He was afraid that the Holy Son would hit him!

After a long period of silence, Zhao Yujing suddenly spoke, “Teach me your method of creating external Incarnations.”

It wasn't a question, but a righteous demand.

I've chased you from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm to protect you, shouldn't you teach me something?

ps: Time is running out, the next chapter will be added below.

Lu Chen: I don't know any external Incarnation technique!

But speaking of which, he did have a Divine Power that he should give to Zhao Yujing.

After thinking it over, Lu Chen said, “I have a Divine Power here that might be suitable for the Holy Son.”

After saying that, he took out a blank Jade Slip, inscribed the "Tenfold Spirit Body" on it, and handed it to the Holy Son.

Zhao Yujing took the Jade Slip and examined it carefully, feeling a tremor in his heart: “What a good Divine Power.”

Although he couldn't cultivate over a hundred external Incarnations like Lu Chen, he could cultivate ten Clones, and each could possess eighty percent of his own strength.

Eighty percent of his strength was still an almost invincible existence among Ascended Beings, and there were as many as ten such Clones.

In the future, his main body could cultivate, and his Clones could also cultivate. He only needed to spare one Clone to handle trivial matters, and he would no longer have to worry about being disturbed in his cultivation.

A good Divine Power, it was truly a good Divine Power.

Zhao Yujing was pleasantly surprised.

He desperately needed a Divine Power that could cultivate Clones.

Indeed, this kid Lu Chen had good stuff in his hands.

But he was a bit stingy; he still didn't teach him the external Incarnation technique.

But it didn't matter. He still had a long time to protect this kid in the future. He could just mention it casually from time to time and annoy him to death.

“For the time being, do not go out. Once I cultivate this Divine Power, I will take you into the Void Immortal Sect.”

Having obtained the Divine Power, the Holy Son naturally went into seclusion happily.

Without the Holy Son, this great expert, protecting him, Lu Chen didn't dare to run around randomly.

Otherwise, at this time, he actually wanted to return to Azure Underworld.

There were too many Myriad Clans Great Power in Azure Underworld, and quite a few were hostile to the Human Race. With his current strength, he could easily kill most Tongtian Realm Great Power, and easily harvest a large number of Dao Soldier seeds to enhance his strength.

Unfortunately, the Holy Son was not here, so he lacked some confidence after all.

Just like this time, when the Ascended Being of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, the Great Golden Crow, personally attacked, if it weren't for the Holy Son's protection, Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers, no matter how strong, would not have been able to withstand it, and he might have been instantly killed.

Therefore, he still had to keep a low profile.

He returned to the cave arranged by Qingxuan Cave Heaven and also began his seclusion.

This time, his Qi Refining strength had broken through to the Faxiang Realm, and the Dao Soldiers that could be nurtured in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin had also surged again.

In the Nascent Soul Realm, for every Realm he broke through, he could nurture an additional six hundred and forty Dao Soldiers. He broke through from the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul Realm to the ninth layer, so he could nurture an additional one thousand two hundred and eighty Dao Soldiers here.

And upon reaching the Faxiang Realm, for every Dharma Idol he cultivated, he could nurture an additional one thousand two hundred and eighty Dao Soldiers.

Adding the two together, his Dao Soldier deficit reached two thousand five hundred and sixty.

To fill it again, and with quality that wasn't too poor, it could only be said that it was a long and arduous task.

Lu Chen was not in a hurry. He first looked at the ten Emperor Slave Clan Great Power still piled up in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

He thought for a moment and did not use these ten Emperor Slave Clan Great Power as Dao Soldier seeds to directly nurture Dao Soldiers.

Because, even though they were Tongtian Realm Great Power, these ten Emperor Slave Clan Great Power were not particularly outstanding.

After all, they were just a group of slaves cultivated by the Demon Emperor of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan with his imperial blood. Although they were stronger than most ordinary Demon Clan, it was limited.

After some consideration, Lu Chen finally selected three of the Emperor Slave Clan Great Power and gave them to the three Fusion Dao Soldiers of Saber, Sword, and Halberd, helping these three Ten Transformation Fusion Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers advance to Hundred Transformation.

Afterwards, he also selected many Spirit Treasure Yin Yang Dao Soldiers from among those comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Ten rod and staff type Spirit Treasure Yin Yang Dao Soldiers were selected for Fusion, ten Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers for soul attacks were also selected for Fusion, ten rope and binding type Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers were selected for Fusion, and in addition, there were still ten each of the four types of Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers: Saber, Spear, Sword, and Halberd, because these four types of Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers were the most numerous.

As a result, Lu Chen's Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers decreased by another sixty-three.

Of course, Lu Chen did not lack quantity of Dao Soldiers now; what he wanted was not just quantity, but rather quality.

While waiting for the Dao Soldiers to fuse, Lu Chen was also not idle.

Recently, he had killed quite a few Demon Clan Heavenly Pride, as well as Great Experts and Great Power, and the good things he obtained were also quite numerous.

Among these were heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed for the Nascent Soul Realm, Faxiang Realm, and Tongtian Realm, including those for comprehending the Dao, increasing qi and blood, increasing Divine Soul, and increasing magic power.

In short, there weren't many, but not few either.

It could only be said that the Dongming Sect was still too poor before. Not to mention heavenly materials and earthly treasures targeting Divine Soul, qi and blood, and magic power, even if you just picked one type, they didn't have any.

But these Nascent Soul Realm Heavenly Pride, Faxiang Realm Great Experts, and Tongtian Realm Great Power were very likely to have them. The reason was naturally simple, because they were stronger, stood higher, and naturally had more opportunities to come into contact with heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The most precious cultivation resources in the entire universe starry sky were converging upwards, controlled by the most powerful group of cultivators.

Of course, this was a perfectly normal phenomenon and not strange.

Lu Chen only cared if these heavenly materials and earthly treasures were useful.

He also selected a portion of them and swallowed them whole.

The Qi Refining Realm still had a lot of room for improvement, as long as there were enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

Deep within Qingxuan Cave Heaven, Holy Son Zhao Yujing, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon cultivating, suddenly had ripples emanating from his body. Subsequently, a second Zhao Yujing walked out of him, followed by a third, a fourth, until the fifth Zhao Yujing appeared, and everything stopped there.

“The Divine Power this kid Lu Chen gave is indeed profound!” Zhao Yujing exclaimed.

Within an ancient Holy Land like the Void Immortal Sect, there were naturally methods for creating Clones. There were profound ones, and even more shallow ones.

But the Clones cultivated by shallow Clone techniques were few in number, and most importantly, the strength of the Clones was insufficient, becoming almost useless by the Yin Spirit Realm.

More profound ones were different; they were still useful in the Faxiang Realm, but only one Clone could be cultivated, and the duration was not long enough, with the strength only being twice that of the main body.

After the Faxiang Realm, this Clone technique also lost its effectiveness.

However, the Tenfold Spirit Body Divine Power given by Lu Chen was extremely profound. This did not seem like a Clone technique, but rather an external Incarnation. Not only was the duration extremely long, but it could also cultivate a full ten, and even more incredibly, these Clones could cultivate independently.

“It seems I owe that kid a big favor!” Zhao Yujing thought, then suddenly felt relieved. He had already protected Lu Chen and saved this kid several times, so how could he owe this kid anything?

When he returned to the Immortal Realm in the future, he would still have to collect debts from this kid.
