447: The Origin of Reincarnation

As Bai Qing comprehended the Origin, the surrounding space rapidly collapsed like a shattered mirror.

Bai Qing felt a sudden jolt in her Divine Soul, and her surroundings plunged into darkness.

Upon opening her eyes again, Bai Qing felt the scenery before her change once more.

The first thing she felt was the endless Dao rhyme.

Turning her head, the enlightenment tea tree and the bodhi tree stood unmoving.

Behind the bodhi tree, Zai Xiyue sat cross-legged.

Then, turning her head again, she saw her Master looking at her with a half-smile.

“Master… this is…”

Bai Qing had too many questions in her heart.

Gu Liangyuan flipped his hand, taking out a brocade box:

“When the fake is true, the true is also false; when nothing is something, something is also nothing.”

“You have achieved it, so I, your Master, shall bestow this item upon you.”

Saying this, Gu Liangyuan slightly raised his hand, and the brocade box slowly flew towards Bai Qing.

Bai Qing received it with both hands, and looking at the item in the brocade box, infinite joy welled up in her heart.

Gu Liangyuan thought for a moment, then flicked his sleeve, and a Corpse King-level zombie appeared out of thin air:

“As time progresses, the enemies encountered by the Dao Alliance will become increasingly powerful.”

“This Heavenly Immortal Realm Corpse King will be at your command from now on, to protect you.”

Bai Qing accepted it: “Thank you, Master.”

“Ding, Host bestowed a Corpse King, triggering a ten-thousand-fold return, returning the reward: Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou.”

An unexpected delight, truly an unexpected delight.

Gu Liangyuan hadn't expected to unexpectedly gather all four Corpse Ancestors.

In his joy, looking at Bai Qing who was tentatively approaching him, Gu Liangyuan proactively pulled her into his embrace:

“Go, cultivate well. I, your Master, still need to help your Junior Sister Zai enter the Dao.”

“Mm.”

After a moment of tenderness, Bai Qing nodded heavily and left this space, returning to the valley where she had been in seclusion earlier.

Unlike her previous worried expression, Bai Qing at this moment felt the smooth touch of the Phoenix bellyband and was filled with joy.

Coupled with the blessing of the Law of Wealth, her cultivation speed increased by more than several times.

On the other side, Gu Liangyuan looked at Zai Xiyue, whose eyes were tightly closed, and, following the same method, created an environment for her.

Zai Xiyue stood in the cave where she first met Gu Liangyuan, looking at her almost transparent body with a bewildered expression.

What's going on?

How did I come back here again?

Where is the Void Tower?

Where is Senior Sister Bai?

Where is Master?

Looking at the sunlight outside, she tentatively stretched out her arm.

But when the sunlight shone on her body, Zai Xiyue felt a strong burning sensation, so she quickly withdrew her arm.

At this moment, Zai Xiyue’s feelings were exactly the same as Bai Qing’s.

Although she didn't know what was real and what was illusion.

Deep in her mind, her obsession with Master lingered.

Immediately, she sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for her Master's arrival.

Zai Xiyue didn't know how long she had waited, only that an apricot tree at the entrance of the cave had already borne fruit three times.

During this time, not a single person had set foot here.

At this point, relying on her past life's memories, she had cultivated to the Core Formation Realm.

On this day, Zai Xiyue's body solidified.

Outside the cave, the autumn wind rustled, and the scorching sun was intermittent.

Zai Xiyue resolutely stepped out of the cave and, following the route in her memory, headed towards Forget-Love Peak.

This time, Gu Liangyuan, having Bai Qing's prior experience, changed the dream's mode.

Zai Xiyue arrived outside the Supreme Sacred Ground and, through various means, learned that her Master was trapped in the Yellow Springs Sect and unable to leave.

Thus, Zai Xiyue began her journey to rescue her Master.

In this life, without Gu Liangyuan's help, Zai Xiyue's cultivation path was not smooth sailing.

She not only faced life-and-death situations for meager resources but also had to evade the pursuit of Cultivators.

However, Gu Liangyuan underestimated Zai Xiyue's perseverance; under such circumstances, Zai Xiyue grew stronger with each battle.

In just three years, she advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

After reaching Nascent Soul, she joined the Yellow Springs Sect as an undercover agent; when she advanced to the Soul Transformation Realm, she attempted to rescue Gu Liangyuan, but unfortunately, she was discovered by an Elder, and her efforts failed.

However, Zai Xiyue also obtained definite news from this, that Gu Liangyuan was indeed trapped in the Yellow Springs Sect.

After escaping, Zai Xiyue reflected on her failure and summarized two reasons:

First, her strength was too weak.

Second, she was alone, while Yellow Springs was a major sect, making her too passive.

So, after escaping, Zai Xiyue cultivated diligently while also recruiting forces, vowing to eliminate the Yellow Springs Sect and rescue her Master.

Watching Zai Xiyue cultivate diligently, Gu Liangyuan, who was observing in secret, revealed a satisfied smile.

Using himself as bait to guide his disciple's cultivation.

I am truly a great Master.

Fifty years passed in a hurry, and Zai Xiyue awakened her Heavenly Demon Body, successfully reaching Void Refining.

But she felt it was still not stable enough, so she spent over a hundred more years cultivating to the Mahayana Realm before leading her forces back into the Yellow Springs Sect.

This time, Zai Xiyue almost succeeded, but ultimately lost to a Peak Mahayana Elder.

Zai Xiyue escaped again, and just as she was about to regroup and launch another attack, a piece of terrible news arrived.

Gu Liangyuan's Lifespan had run out, and he had died in the Yellow Springs Sect.

Upon receiving this news, Zai Xiyue instantly went mad.

The intense psychological fluctuation almost caused the dream created by Gu Liangyuan to collapse.

Just as Zai Xiyue was on the verge of collapse, a wandering Daoist happened to appear and brought Zai Xiyue under control.

And told her that there was a way to resurrect Gu Liangyuan.

Only the Origin of Reincarnation was needed.

Origin of Reincarnation.

Hearing these four familiar words, the flame of hope reignited in Zai Xiyue's eyes.

She remembered her Master telling her these four words more than once in her previous life.

Thus, Zai Xiyue immediately went into seclusion, determined to comprehend the Origin of Reincarnation.

But another hundred years passed, and Zai Xiyue not only failed to comprehend the Origin of Reincarnation but also failed to comprehend the Law of Reincarnation.

As expected of fellow disciples, Zai Xiyue's coping strategy was identical to Bai Qing's.

She reluctantly came out of seclusion, transformed into a Mortal, and came to a small town, opening a coffin shop.

Although the shop's business was dismal, as Zai Xiyue came into contact with more and more customers, the Death Qi on her body became even denser.

Fifty years passed, and while the Law of Reincarnation was not comprehended, Zai Xiyue instead comprehended the Law of Death.

After comprehending the Law of Death, Zai Xiyue closed her coffin shop and traveled eastward.

She arrived at another nameless small town and became a midwife.

This midwifery lasted another fifty years.

Due to Zai Xiyue's superb midwifery skills, she became famous within a hundred miles.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary peddlers, no one was unaware of her reputation.

However, in these fifty years, although Zai Xiyue delivered countless babies, she failed to comprehend the Law of Life.

Another twenty years passed, and the people she had delivered gradually died of old age.

At a funeral, listening to others recount the deceased's life, Zai Xiyue remembered his loud cries when she delivered him.

At this moment, Zai Xiyue gained enlightenment.

“To live towards death, to die towards life, this is Reincarnation!”

In an instant, the heavens and earth were bathed in radiant light.

The Law of Life was fully bestowed upon Zai Xiyue.

Between life and death, the Origin of Reincarnation appeared!

Zai Xiyue stood in mid-air, forming hand seals, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared in her hands.

The winds and clouds of heaven and earth also changed as a result.

Accompanied by endless thunder, Zai Xiyue shouted loudly:

“Resurrect, my beloved!”
