103: Chapter 102 Understanding Reincarnation

Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and took out the gourd. A wisp of cyan-gold spiritual power drifted from his fingertip, tapping on the golden shield wrapping the light orb.

With a soft buzz, the barrier enveloping the Origin slowly dispersed, and the five portions of world origin were immediately collected into the cyan jade gourd.

Floating in the very center of the hall were two complete orbs of purple reincarnation origin.

Just as Lin Lei took half a step forward, the rushing Dao rhyme of Reincarnation forced him back. He spoke in surprise, "This reincarnation origin doesn't seem like it can be divided."

Looking at the two purple lights, Ye Qingxuan slowly explained, "The reincarnation origin is extremely valuable. First, handing it over to the Heavenly Dao can be exchanged for a massive amount of Karma. Second, it can awaken the Reincarnation order of heaven and earth, allowing the souls of the deceased to reincarnate normally."

"Moreover, I can channel the power of Reincarnation within it to bring your minds into Reincarnation, allowing you to experience a completely new life and comprehend its joys and sorrows. This will be of great benefit to your Cultivation. Are you willing?"

A trace of hesitation flashed through Yan Chixia's eyes, and he then cupped his hands, saying, "Daoist Ye, although such an Opportunity is rare, the matter of Reincarnation is full of unknowns. I have some concerns."

Lin Lei, on the other hand, looked excited. "Daoist Ye, this sounds amazing! Being able to experience a brand-new life will definitely take my cultivation to the next level. I'm willing to try!"

Bai Yuekui pondered for a moment. With a hint of shyness and determination in her eyes, she said softly, "Qingxuan, I trust you. I'm willing to give it a try."

Duyuan looked at Ye Qingxuan and nodded slightly. "Reincarnation? It truly is a great Opportunity. Daoist Qingxuan, I trust you as well. Let us embark on this journey."

Seeing that everyone had decided to try, Yan Chixia was also moved. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Then I will try as well. I hope Daoist Ye can ensure our safety."

Ye Qingxuan smiled and nodded. "Rest assured, I won't let anything happen to you."

Forming hand seals, he channeled his spiritual power. The two orbs of reincarnation origin slowly rose, emitting a mysterious deep purple light that enveloped Yan Chixia, Lin Lei, Bai Yuekui, and Duyuan.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat also boiled over.

"[Holy crap, entering Reincarnation? This is too exciting!]"

"[Daoist Ye is truly amazing, he can even channel the power of Reincarnation!]"

"[I wonder what kind of lives they will experience in Reincarnation.]"

"[Duyuan is incredibly lucky! Reincarnation! I'm afraid that after going through this Reincarnation, reaching the Void Return Stage directly won't even be an issue.] In the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Yuzhuo watched the livestream screen, feeling incredibly envious.

"[Daoist Zhang, I'm afraid Duyuan is going to leave you far behind this time.] Yun Huan was stirring up trouble again.

"[Sister Yun, don't say anymore!! Wuhu, that monk Duyuan is so lucky. Why didn't such a good Opportunity fall on me!!] Lin Yao cried.

"[Fellow Daoist Yuzhuo, why be envious? I believe Fellow Daoist Ye will definitely not let those two portions of Origin go.]"

"[That's true.]"

"[Are the two upstairs Daoist Zhou and Daoist Yuzhuo?]"

"[Definitely. But why are there only these few? What about the other members of the top eight of the Grand Ritual of Luotian?]"

"[They should all be in secluded cultivation. They are only half a step away from Soul Transformation.]"

At this time, the people of the Shangqing Sect, except for Master Yuanxin and the workhorse Senior Brother Qingcang, were basically all in secluded cultivation. They didn't see this collective display of envy; otherwise, it would have been even more spectacular.

CCTV Livestream—

Sister Qing: "This... three Seniors, comprehending Reincarnation? Is that really possible?"

Master Yuanxin looked at the live broadcast screen. "Yes. If they can gain some comprehension within Reincarnation, it will definitely be of immense help to their future path of cultivation."

Celestial Master Zhang laughed loudly from the side. "What great luck! They are going to have a good experience of different lives this time!"

Master Kongming looked at Duyuan with a face full of worry. "I hope Duyuan can gain something from Reincarnation and that nothing goes wrong."

National Destiny Space—

As Ye Qingxuan continuously channeled his spiritual power, the consciousness of the four gradually sank into Reincarnation.

After Yan Chixia, Lin Lei, Bai Yuekui, and Duyuan entered Reincarnation, the viewers in the livestream could only see their expressions constantly changing—sometimes joyful, sometimes angry, sometimes sorrowful...

Meanwhile, Ye Qingxuan's Divine Sense was like a giant net, enveloping them at all times.

In Reincarnation, the flow of time was completely different from the outside world; it was truly a thousand years in a single dream.

Yan Chixia experienced lifetime after lifetime of different lives—sometimes a heroic warrior, sometimes a common farmer—moving from his initial struggle and confusion to gradually understanding the true meaning of life.

Lin Lei went through countless setbacks on his path of seeking the Dao. In each lifetime, he fought for power through different identities, his state of mind constantly shifting.

Bai Yuekui traversed through prosperity and loneliness. In Reincarnation, during every lifetime, she would encounter a Ye Qingxuan, and she couldn't help but lose herself in it.

Duyuan's journey through Reincarnation was even more spectacular. He experienced various identities, sometimes as a man, sometimes as a woman, and even as animals, flowers, plants, and trees, comprehending the mysteries of Reincarnation through different life experiences.

Only a few minutes had passed in the outside world, but Ye Qingxuan keenly sensed that Yan Chixia had reached a critical juncture in Reincarnation. He formed hand seals, and his powerful Divine Sense surged at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, wake up!"

Yan Chixia slowly opened his eyes, with the emotions and memories of Reincarnation still lingering in them—vicissitude, anger, joy, sorrow, and more.

Seeing his appearance, the viewers in the livestream speculated about what they had actually experienced in Reincarnation.

"[My goodness, his expression is so complex. He must have experienced a lot.]"

"[I wonder how much his cultivation will improve after coming out of Reincarnation.]"

"[Reincarnation... without a strong enough Heart-Nature, one would probably sink into it. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan was there to act as a Protector. Otherwise, this Daoist Yan Chixia would probably have been lost forever!]"

"[Still, his gains are not small. Looking at his aura, he's about to make a Breakthrough.]"

National Destiny Space—

Yan Chixia's eyes were dazed. "Who am I? Yan Fei? Li Mi? Zhou Er? No, that's not right... I am Yan Chixia!! What is this?"

"Supreme Platform Star, adapting without pause, expelling evil and binding demons, protecting life and safeguarding the body..."

Ye Qingxuan cast a Mantra of Heart Purification at him. "Fellow Daoist Yan, wake up quickly!"

Yan Chixia's eyes gradually cleared. "What a terrifying Reincarnation. Had it not been for your assistance, Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid I would have been lost forever!"

"I said I would keep you safe. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. After nine lifetimes of Reincarnation, your path before the Void Return Stage is now completely smooth."

As Ye Qingxuan spoke, he took out his gourd. With a tug of his spiritual power, a portion of world origin drifted out and flew directly in front of Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia: "This? Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"

Ye Qingxuan: "I said I would richly reward you. This portion of world origin is enough for you to break through to the Perfection of Soul Transformation. However, the Void Return Stage still requires your own comprehension."

Seeing that Yan Chixia wanted to say more, he added, "There is no need to refuse, Fellow Daoist. As fellow members of the Righteous Path, maintaining the Righteous Path of heaven and earth, a single portion of world origin is not that precious."

Yan Chixia stopped hesitating and accepted it directly. After a moment of thought, he still spoke a few words:

"I know that you all are not from this world. However, you are right. As fellow righteous souls of heaven and earth, I will not reveal the Origins of the four of you to the outside. I have accepted your generous reward, Fellow Daoist. Since there is nothing else here, I shall take my leave first."

Without waiting for Ye Qingxuan's reply, Yan Chixia turned and left, singing as he walked:

"Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao!"

"The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao!"

"Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, Human Dao, Sword Dao!"

"..."

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Nonsense!"

"Ghosts wailing and gods howling, unorthodox paths!"

"..."

"Ha! I seek my own Dao!"

Listening to the ballad Yan Chixia sang as he faded into the distance, Ye Qingxuan shook his head and laughed. "Haha, this Yan Chixia!"

Bullet Screen—

"[How free and easy Yan Chixia is!]"

"[This bearded guy looks cold and detached, but he's actually full of righteous spirit!]"

"[I heard him talking with Lin Lei and Great Master Duyuan just now. It turns out he was originally a bailiff before he entered the Dao!]"

"[Immeasurable Heavenly Lord of Fortune! The righteous Qi of heaven and earth shall endure forever!]"

CCTV Livestream—

Master Kongming: "This Fellow Daoist Yan woke up the fastest. Duyuan and the others are still in Reincarnation!"

Celestial Master Zhang: "You rascal monk, what's the rush? Can't you see Qingxuan is watching right beside them?"

Master Yuanxin: "Monk, rest assured. Qingxuan won't let anything happen to them."

Sister Qing kept her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, staying out of the banter of the three big shots.

National Destiny Space—

Watching the three whose expressions constantly shifted, Ye Qingxuan calculated silently in his heart.

"Yan Chixia only lasted nine lifetimes. Lin Lei has the highest talent, but his foundation is still insufficient. Next is him."

"Twenty-three lifetimes. It seems he has reached his limit! Wake up!" Ye Qingxuan awakened Lin Lei.

Seeing Lin Lei with the same expression Yan Chixia had just now, Daoist Ye cast another Mantra of Heart Purification at him.

"Phew! So this is Reincarnation! That was truly close; I almost sank into it." Lin Lei breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if he still had lingering fears.

Ye Qingxuan: "How do you feel?"

"Better than ever! I have already seen the path ahead for Martial Dao. Daoist, you have no idea, I... mmm-mmm-mmm!!"

Seeing Lin Lei about to turn into a chatterbox, Daoist Ye directly cast a Silence Spell on him. Looking at Lin Lei's innocent eyes, he shook his head speechlessly.

"We'll talk when they wake up. For now, digest what you've gained." Ye Qingxuan pointed at Duyuan and Bai Yuekui.

The Martial Ancestor was speechless, and the Martial Ancestor nodded, because Ye Qingxuan had not lifted the Silence Spell.

Bullet Screen—

"[Haha, that's hilarious! How did the Martial Ancestor turn into a chatterbox?]"

"[What on earth did he experience in Reincarnation?]"

"[Daoist Ye is still so simple and brutal, silencing him directly.]"

"[Daoist Ye is probably planning to wait for all of them to wake up before they share their experiences together.]"

CCTV Livestream—

Sister Qing was puzzled. "Three Seniors, isn't Lin Lei the one with the highest Aptitude? Why did he wake up so early? What is going on?"

Master Yuanxin: "Reincarnation tests one's Heart-Nature and wisdom. Lin Lei's foundation cannot compare to Miss Bai and Duyuan."

Celestial Master Zhang: "At the end of the day, he's still a minor. How could he have so much life experience?"

Master Kongming: "It seems Duyuan is next."

National Destiny Space—

After half an hour had passed, Ye Qingxuan saw their auras beginning to change and directly woke them up.

"I didn't expect you both to finish together. Forty-nine lifetimes." Looking into their eyes, Ye Qingxuan cast another Mantra of Heart Purification at them. "Yuekui, Fellow Daoist Duyuan, congratulations!"

"Phew! What a magnificent Reincarnation. This poor monk has gained immensely; the Void Return Stage is no longer an impassable chasm!" Duyuan let out a long breath.

"Me too. Once I return to secluded cultivation, as long as there are enough resources, I should be able to approach the Void Return Stage you mentioned." Bai Yuekui stared at Ye Qingxuan, her gaze becoming even more determined.

"You guys go ahead and talk, next is my turn!" Ye Qingxuan waved his hand to lift the Silence Spell, took out a large pile of High Grade and Top-Grade Spirit Stones, scattering them on the ground. Then, he directly channeled the power of Reincarnation and began his comprehension.

"Phew, that almost suffocated me. Daoist Ye is really slick with that Silence Spell."

Lin Lei had a belly full of words and could finally speak. As soon as the silence was lifted, he immediately huddled close to Duyuan and Bai Yuekui, spit almost flying everywhere as he poured out his experiences in Reincarnation.

"In several of my lifetimes in Reincarnation, I fought others in martial arts. In one life, I was a mountain hunter, fighting Vicious Beasts every day. In another, I apprenticed under a martial fanatic Master, training until all the bones in my body were shattered, yet he still wouldn't let me stop. If Daoist Ye hadn't called me in time, I would have almost been trapped in that life of fighting forever!"

Duyuan pressed his palms together and smiled faintly. "This poor monk's Reincarnation was even more varied. I have been a draft ox, wild grass by the river, and even a woman in the deep palace. Having tasted all the pain of not getting what one desires and parting from loved ones, I have finally seen through the obsessions of all living beings."

Bai Yuekui stood quietly to the side without detailing much. The depths of her eyes hid an uncontainable tenderness, her gaze drifting from time to time toward Ye Qingxuan, who was currently in meditation, comprehending Reincarnation.

The bullet messages in the livestream scrolled rapidly, densely covering the entire screen.

"[Lin Lei is way too talkative. Holding it in for half an hour must have driven him crazy.]"

"[Great Master Duyuan actually became plants, flowers, and livestock. This comprehension is absolutely profound!]"

"[Miss Bai keeps staring at Daoist Ye; her feelings are as clear as day!]"

In the CCTV Livestream, Celestial Master Zhang stroked his beard and teased, "These four each have their own gains. Once Ye Qingxuan finishes comprehending Reincarnation, his cultivation will probably leap forward by another massive margin." Master Yuanxin nodded gently, and Master Kongming also let go of the worry in his heart, a smile appearing on his face.

Everyone waited for a full two to three hours.

The hall was dead silent. Ye Qingxuan sat cross-legged in his original spot from start to finish, immersing his heart in comprehending the Great Dao of Reincarnation. His surrounding aura was steady and reserved, showing not the slightest movement.

Just as everyone was waiting patiently, Ye Qingxuan's silent body suddenly moved!

The Spirit Stones in the hall shattered, and endless Spiritual Qi flooded into Ye Qingxuan's body. His originally steady and reserved aura instantly surged frantically, and his majestic spiritual power swept through the entire hall.

His cultivation broke through barriers like splitting bamboo, rising all the way from the Late Stage of Fanxu to steadily step into the Perfection of Fanxu!

The surrounding Void Realm hummed softly, and the Shangqing Dao rhyme flowed. His body seemed to completely merge with the surrounding Great Dao of heaven and earth, becoming one. His aura was transcendent, and a terrifying pressure of his Realm slowly diffused.

Beside him, Duyuan's expression changed drastically. His eyes widened, and he cried out in shock, "This is... Unity with the Dao! Is Fellow Daoist Qingxuan... about to break through to the Body Integration Stage?!"

Bai Yuekui stared intently at Ye Qingxuan, wanting to clearly see the changes in his Realm at this moment.

Lin Lei also held his breath instantly. His eyes were filled with the ultimate envy and shock of a cultivator as he stared fixedly at this unbelievable scene.

CCTV Livestream

The faces of the three changed drastically in unison, and they could no longer sit still.

Sister Qing: "Three Seniors, this... is Daoist Ye about to break through to the Body Integration Stage?"

Master Yuanxin's tone was filled with unbelievable dread. "Body Integration Stage! Is Qingxuan going to break through on the spot?!"

Celestial Master Zhang's beard and hair trembled slightly, filled with awe and emotion. "Refining the Void to Combine with the Dao!"

Abbot Kongming: "Is this the power of Reincarnation?"

The livestream chat completely exploded.

The Chinese netizens frantically spammed the screen with praise, the entire screen boiling with hot-blooded excitement as exclamations of admiration rose one after another.

"[Meditating for just two or three hours and directly rushing to the Perfection of Fanxu? What kind of Prodigy talent is this!]"

"[Daoist Ye is indeed unfathomable. Ten thousand years of bitter cultivation cannot compare to a single Epiphany!]"

"[The Body Integration Stage! Summoning clouds and rain with a flip of a hand, and wherever his Divine Sense envelops, he can arrive in a single thought. This is a true powerhouse!]"

"[Most importantly, the Body Integration Stage allows one to traverse the Void Realm and roam freely in the vacuum of the Universe!!]"

Meanwhile, the overseas netizens completely broke down, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy. Yet, because of their shallow vision, they couldn't comprehend the supreme phenomenon of Unity with the Dao at all, and could only mindlessly slander and mock.

"[Isn't it just sitting quietly for a few hours? It's overhyped!]"

"[It looks completely ordinary, nothing impressive at all!]"

"[China just loves to deify its own players. It's completely meaningless!]"

The foreign masses, unable to recognize the true meaning of the Great Dao, only knew how to shallowly slander, merely exposing their own narrow-mindedness and ignorance.

Just when everyone thought Ye Qingxuan would ride the momentum to break through and enter the Body Integration Stage!

That soaring, majestic aura suddenly screeched to a halt!

All the Dao rhymes and Qi were completely reined in, steadily freezing at the Half-step Integration Realm, climbing not even half a fraction further.

Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes, the depths of his gaze profound and tranquil. Having experienced and comprehended a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation, his Dao Heart had long been tempered to the absolute limit, harboring endless hidden foundation.
