489: Reincarnation, fatal

"No power comes without a reason."

"Do you really think you can contend with Tian Yang all by yourself?!"

"Hmph, what a joke!"

"Now... I want you to pay it back tenfold!"

As the words fell, Su Xuan felt the power within him leaving bit by bit.

This filled him with panic.

But at this moment, he had no way to stop it.

He was completely powerless to resist.

Soon, Su Xuan became a Mortal, and his body gradually began to decay.

His body began to stiffen, and soon he could no longer make any movements.

In his final moments, even though he was filled with rage, he had nowhere to unleash it.

He died!

However...

It seemed he hadn't completely died.

In Su Xuan's perception, his Divine Soul had not been completely annihilated.

He felt as if he had begun to drift within an invisible tide...

He drifted for a very, very long time.

After an unknown number of years, he finally came to a stop.

And at this moment, his Divine Soul gradually began to recover.

He gradually saw everything before him clearly.

There were many, many Divine Souls here.

And every single one of them was exactly like him!

"These..."

"Could they all be me?"

"But... how is this possible?"

"And where is this?!"

Su Xuan stared blankly at his surroundings, wanting to search for some useful information here.

But to his disappointment, there was nothing here except for some Divine Souls that were identical to him.

If one had to say there was anything else...

I'm afraid it would only be the water outside.

Fortunately, though.

Just as Su Xuan was filled with confusion, a phantom suddenly appeared before him.

The phantom looked exactly like Su Xuan.

Only the eyes were somewhat different.

His eyes seemed to have experienced countless years.

Having seen too many things.

And although Su Xuan had also experienced many things, compared to him, he was still too immature.

"You... who are you?"

"I am you."

"These remnant souls before you are also you."

"You have undergone Reincarnation too, too many times."

"No matter what methods you use, you will eventually fall at the hands of Tian Yang or Tian Yin."

"There is no help for it, they are too strong."

"All your methods are unable to defeat them."

"No, to be precise, it is that you are unable to Cultivate power comparable to theirs."

"This is the Reincarnation Sea."

"The most core place in the entire River of Time."

"Including Tian Yang and Tian Yin."

"From ancient times until now, apart from you, no one has ever stepped foot here."

"You are the first to come here, and naturally, you have gained the favor of this place."

"In the past, you used the power of the Reincarnation Sea to create the Immortal Cultivation Simulator."

"Through it, your strength could always grow rapidly."

"Often, in just a few days, you could Cultivate to the limit of the world, thereby gaining the power to do battle with Tian Yang and Tian Yin."

"But obviously, this is not enough."

"If you are in a conventional state, it is impossible for you to become stronger than them."

"You must find a new path."

"This is your last Reincarnation."

"And this time, you will also carry all your past memories."

As the words fell, the phantom and the remnant souls before him instantly shattered, turning into wisps of light that came upon Su Xuan.

And at that very instant, the scene around Su Xuan began to change.

He returned from the Reincarnation Lake to Sky Profound City.

"Everyone, everyone, tomorrow is the day the Great Wilderness Secret Realm opens. Those interested in going can come to our Tianxuan Sect at any time to sign up, and we will set off together with our team then."

"Sky Profound City..."

Looking at the bustling streets before him, a trace of daze appeared in Su Xuan's eyes.

In his current memories, he had already returned to Sky Profound City countless times.

Every time, he felt like a stranger here.

Only this time did he feel incomparably familiar with it.

[Ding, Immortal Cultivation Simulator binding...]

[Binding started, binding progress 20%, binding progress 50%, binding progress 90%, binding successful.]

[Immortal Cultivation Simulator Lv1]

[Host: Su Xuan]

[Cultivation: Body Tempering Level 3]

[Spiritual Root: Pseudo Spiritual Root]

[Spirit Body: None]

[Talent: None]

[Energy Value: 0]

[Current simulation energy cost: 10]

"I actually really came back."

Su Xuan looked at the simulator panel that had appeared once again, lost in a daze.

After a long while, he took out a Spirit Stone and chose to start the simulation again.

[Body Strengthening (White): Your physical body will be strengthened, capable of perfectly absorbing unrated Spirit Medicine; perhaps compared to Qi Refining, you are better suited for Body Refining.]

[Tenacity (White): Your willpower will become tough; even when facing the most difficult situations, you will not easily give up.]

[Elementary Perseverance (White): When you do anything every day, the first three minutes will always be stronger than the rest.]

Three familiar options appeared before him.

But this time, he did not make any choice, intending instead to rely on his own strength to continue Cultivating.

[Simulation started!]

[Although you have no Cultivation at this moment, the memories in your mind are your most cherished treasure.]

[Relying on them, you will ignore any threats from the past.]

[You said goodbye to Uncle Fu.]

[After finding a desolate mountain by the river, you sat cross-legged quietly and began to comprehend the entire world.]

[Yes, just comprehension.]

[You did not perform any Cultivation.]

[What you are doing at this moment is simply comprehending the changes in the world, blending all your memories together.]

[Although you know some small troubles might appear in the future, you do not take them to heart at all.]

[The fiftieth year.]

[Your aura merges with the world; no living being can discover your existence.]

[The eightieth year.]

[At this time, your body has decayed terribly, and your entire body is covered in wrinkles.]

[There is no help for it, your Cultivation at this moment is only in the Body Tempering Realm; although this Realm is stronger than a Mortal, it only has a short lifespan of a hundred years.]

[But you are not panicked at all, instead waiting for your body to decay.]

[Soon, your vitality fades to the extreme, leaving only a single breath.]

[But it is at this moment that you circulate your Cultivation Technique.]

[This is what you created based on all your past memories and eighty years of time.]

[You call it -- Life-Stealing.]

[Although Life-Stealing is only just formed at this moment, an irrepressible joy still arises in your heart.]

[You begin to circulate Life-Stealing.]

[In an instant, wisps of Qi from the surroundings are taken into your body.]

[No matter what it is, you can absorb it all.]

[Power begins to be born within your body, and even that body which had already decayed begins to recover at this moment.]
