106: Reincarnation
“Could it be that the Key of Reincarnation is precisely the key to opening this door?”
Su Xuan grew excited, the key appearing in his hand.
Approaching the large door, Su Xuan inserted the key into the rusted keyhole and gently twisted it.
Click!
...The door, it actually opened!
“Su Xuan, where... where did you get this key?”
Leng Ruoli was stunned, staring at Su Xuan in disbelief.
Could it be that Su Xuan was related to the Reincarnation Immortal King?
Thinking this, Leng Ruoli actually found it somewhat plausible.
After all, how could a cultivator of one lifetime be so strong?
“I picked it up in the main hall earlier.”
Su Xuan glanced at Leng Ruoli and replied casually.
He couldn't possibly tell Leng Ruoli that he had a System, could he?
Leng Ruoli's delicate brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Xuan.
Clearly, Leng Ruoli did not believe Su Xuan's words.
However, she did not ask further.
Everyone has their own secrets, without exception.
The two continued deeper.
Behind the large door was a secret chamber.
The secret chamber was large, also covered in skeletons, with a strange, mysterious aura pervading it.
But when the two saw the center of the secret chamber, their eyes suddenly narrowed.
There, something resembling a black hole floated in the void!
As the two noticed the black hole.
A terrifying sense of oppression swept towards them!
“Not good!”
Both Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli's expressions changed.
Su Xuan instinctively unleashed his Chaotic Divine Demon Body, and immediately, endless Chaos Qi surged out, enveloping himself and Leng Ruoli, barely managing to block the pressure.
“This should be the Reincarnation Eye... See the Reincarnation Eye, experience a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation...”
Leng Ruoli whispered.
But before she could finish, an indescribable immense power bloomed in the space, sweeping towards the two.
Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli's expressions both changed, wanting to resist, but there was no way.
This was not a force that could be resisted.
The next second, their two bodies fell into a deep sleep, their consciousness lost.
See the Reincarnation Eye, enter a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation.
That's right, at this moment, Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli had entered the Reincarnation Eye's trial, needing to experience a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation in a dream.
If they could wake up, they would receive the Reincarnation Immortal King's inheritance; if they couldn't wake up, they would be forever lost within!
Since Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli came to the Reincarnation Palace together.
Therefore, these hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation would also be spent together.
The first lifetime.
Su Xuan was a general, and Leng Ruoli was a princess.
The general and the princess were childhood sweethearts, growing up together, innocent and pure.
The general accompanied the princess in archery practice, taught her to use a sword, and studied military strategy together.
Gradually, affection grew between them.
But after the former emperor passed away, the weak and incompetent crown prince was enthroned by the empress dowager.
Realizing the princess's influence on the general, the empress dowager kept the princess confined, like a golden canary that never saw the light of day.
The emperor became increasingly muddle-headed, the court increasingly corrupt, and the general's expeditions became more frequent.
The last time they met, the princess secretly slipped out in the snow, tying a bell to the warhorse's neck, saying she wished the general a triumphant return.
At night.
The cold wind blew off the princess's hood, and the general took the princess's frozen red hands, warming them in his embrace.
He then freed a hand to brush over her head and put it back on for her.
In the silent snowy night, the beating hearts of the two embracing each other were the only sound between heaven and earth.
The two promised that when the general returned this time, he would take the princess to the highest pavilion in the Dynasty to drink and admire the moon, and then they would leave, going to a place where no one knew them, to live a good life.
But just half a month later.
“Princess, General... General he... died in battle!”
The news of the general's death reached the princess's residence, and the princess's movements stopped abruptly, a wave of sorrow surging into her heart, tears streaming down her cheeks...
“Why did you break your promise...”
The princess kept repeating this sentence.
With the general dead and the Dynasty facing collapse, the empress dowager decided to send the princess away for a political marriage...
That day, in the princess's hall, the princess was dressed in red, the wind making her robes flap loudly.
The princess committed suicide, clutching a bell in her hand...
The second lifetime.
Su Xuan was a Daoist priest, and Leng Ruoli was a fox demon...
The third lifetime. Su Xuan was a monk, and Leng Ruoli was a county princess...
In a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation, every lifetime of Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli was a tragedy, full of regret, pain, and only tears.
Such a Reincarnation, if it were an ordinary person, they would have long been immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves, never able to wake up, forever lost in Reincarnation.
But Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli were clearly not ordinary people; they quickly detached themselves from those abusive emotional cycles, viewing each lifetime's events from an observer's perspective.
The last lifetime, the hundredth lifetime.
In the scene.
There was a young girl, with a hint of childishness.
But judging by her attire, she was incredibly luxurious.
Clearly, she was born into a prominent aristocratic family.
As the girl grew, her beauty became even more captivating.
When she was sixteen, the girl went out for training and met a Young man in white.
The Young man in white had unparalleled talent, full of youthful spirit, and he trained with the girl.
Gradually, affection grew between them, and they became Dao Companions.
Later, the Immortal Path opened.
The Young man had to leave, to embark on the Immortal Path, to conquer the starry sky, and become the strongest in the world.
He said he wanted to stand at the absolute peak, overlooking all of Reincarnation throughout the ages.
It was by a small lake, a delicate girl embracing a Young man in white, her face filled with reluctance.
The girl's eyes were red, filled with sparkling tears, as she looked at the Young man, who was as white as snow, wishing he would stay and spend the rest of his life with her.
“Our mortal ties are severed; we shall meet on the Immortal Path.”
To this, the Young man merely said indifferently.
He was as spirited as ever, just like in the past.
As for the despondency in the girl's eyes, he directly ignored it, stepping onto the Heavenly Road to fulfill his great ambitions.
“Becoming an Immortal... Is becoming an Immortal that important? You said our mortal ties are severed, and we shall meet on the Immortal Path... But I don't have your talent, I'll never become an Immortal...”
The girl cried, looking at the Young man's back, choking out her words.
“Will you still come back... will you still come to see me... do we really have a future... will you really not forget me...”
The girl's voice was tearful as she called out from behind, tears already dripping down her face.
She was very reluctant to part with the Young man, but she was helpless, only regretting that her talent was insufficient to keep up with the Young man's pace.
The Young man in white turned back in the void, gazing at the girl, and with an incomparably confident demeanor, he said:
“Of course, when I become an Immortal, all brilliance shall be bestowed upon you. I will give you the grandest wedding in all the world. Wait for me.”
The Young man was too spirited, his tone full of self-confidence, never imagining that he would fail.
Just like that, the Young man in white left and never returned.
The girl went from innocent to mature, then to old age, always alone, so solitary, like a small boat drifting with the wind, wandering in the long river of time.
But the girl never regretted it from beginning to end; her appearance had aged, and her clear eyes were filled with the marks of time, but hope still flickered within them.
She was waiting...
She was waiting for the Young man to return, waiting for him to become an Immortal, waiting for him to fulfill his vow...
