"Reincarnation Realm, Reincarnation?"
Xu Chuan murmured to himself.
Having experienced two rounds of illusions, Xu Chuan's heart was beginning to gain a glimmer of understanding. He had a rough idea of what the process of walking the path of life and death reincarnation entailed.
Taking another step forward, this time, Xu Chuan was no longer himself but a newborn infant once more. From birth to growth, then to old age, time flowed by rapidly.
This time, Xu Chuan did not allow himself to be ensnared. Instead, he observed this illusion from the perspective of an onlooker.
He held fast to his original intention, and the illusion could no longer affect him in the slightest.
Thus, a plain life passed, and Xu Chuan's consciousness reappeared on the single-plank bridge.
This experience precisely confirmed Xu Chuan's conjecture.
This path of reincarnation, once stepped upon, leads you to retrace past lives, present lives, and even the future.
If one cannot break free, they will be forever trapped in this illusion, eternally unable to break through the Reincarnation Realm.
And if one's mind is affected by the illusion, even if they can break free, their disposition will change drastically. Just like Xu Chuan in the 'Present Life' illusion before; if he had not attained clarity of his original intention, even if he could escape, he would have transformed into a berserk killing fiend devoid of reason!
The martial path demands introspection. After experiencing these trials of past lives, present lives, and the future, the previously unseen end of the single-plank bridge finally appeared before Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan strode forward. Now, the illusions on this single-plank bridge could no longer pose any obstacle to him.
After a few steps, Xu Chuan reached the end of the single-plank bridge.
Boom!
An unforeseen event occurred!
The moment Xu Chuan stepped off the single-plank bridge, his vision went black, and then his consciousness returned to his body.
As Xu Chuan's body trembled, his peak Nirvana Realm cultivation smoothly advanced to the first level of the Reincarnation Realm.
However, this was only the beginning.
The world's primal energy was madly absorbed and refined by Xu Chuan. The concentration of world primal energy in the room had already reached a near-liquid state.
It was just enough for Xu Chuan to absorb.
After absorbing and refining this primal energy, Xu Chuan's cultivation began to surge.
Peak Reincarnation Realm First Level!
Reincarnation Realm Second Level!
Reincarnation Realm Third Level!
...
It was not until the sixth level of the Reincarnation Realm that this frenzied ascent began to end.
Finally reaching the peak of the sixth level of the Reincarnation Realm, it completely stopped.
A continuous breakthrough of six minor realms and one major realm; if this were to happen outside, it would undoubtedly blind countless eyes.
However, for Xu Chuan, this was merely a commonplace occurrence.
Ever since he obtained the system, had his cultivation breakthroughs not been like riding a rocket, soaring upwards at breakneck speed?
He simply could not be judged by conventional standards!
With the breakthrough in his cultivation, Xu Chuan felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable!
The thunderous sounds in the sky and the heavenly might also vanished at this moment.
Xu Chuan waved his hand, and the dirt on his body disappeared. He then retrieved a new set of clothes from his storage ring and put them on.
At this moment, feeling a strength tens, even hundreds, of times greater than before, Xu Chuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Now, if he were to face any cultivator at the first level of the Tongtian Realm, he wouldn't need any other means. With a single punch, he could blast them to death on the spot!
This was the ultimate transformation brought about by the breakthrough in his realm!
Ning Youci, who was outside, sensed that Xu Chuan had finished his cultivation and walked into the room.
"Did you break through?"
She asked, her face blushing.
"Yes, I'm already at the sixth level of the Reincarnation Realm!"
Xu Chuan hid nothing and revealed his cultivation level to Ning Youci.
The two had long since been intimate, and there was no room for secrets.
Besides, cultivation realms were not things that needed to be hidden.
True strength was what mattered most!
"Ah!?"
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, Ning Youci's mouth hung open. Clearly, she was shocked by the news.
Xu Chuan, who had just been at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, had now leaped to the sixth level of the Reincarnation Realm upon breaking through!
If anyone else had said this, they would have been considered a fool.
But since it was Xu Chuan who said it, Ning Youci believed it wholeheartedly, which was why she displayed such a surprised expression.
"Xu Chuan, you're too amazing!"
Ning Youci praised him without reservation.
"Oh? Is that so? Then let me let you experience the changes brought about by my breakthrough to the Reincarnation Realm!"
Xu Chuan chuckled and stepped forward to embrace Ning Youci.
Another night of passion followed. The next morning, Xu Chuan and Ning Youci exited the Golden Ancient Palace and returned to the mysterious palace.
"You've received the inheritance, so what do you plan to do with this palace?"
Xu Chuan looked at the luxurious palace and asked Ning Youci.
This palace was incredibly valuable. It would be a shame to leave it here.
Moreover, there were so many Star Splendor Essences within. Unfortunately, they were all protected by formations, making them impossible to retrieve.
If one were to try and forcefully take them, it would likely result in nothing.
This was why Xu Chuan felt it was a pity.
"The inheritance from the senior includes the method to control this palace."
"This palace is the Moon Palace that each generation of the Taiyin Goddess possesses. Those with the Taiyin bloodline will cultivate within it, and their cultivation speed will greatly increase!"
Ning Youci smiled brightly and said slowly.
The two walked out of the Moon Palace and arrived at the entrance of the previous cave. Ning Youci performed a hand seal, then waved her jade hand. The massive Moon Palace, along with the giant pillar and the Yaochi divine bridge, began to shrink.
In a short while, it had reduced to the size of a palm.
Ning Youci put it into her storage bag, turned around, and linked her arm with Xu Chuan's, acting like a dependent little bird.
"Let's go!"
This Moon Palace was excellent in every way, its only drawback being that it couldn't be used as a weapon and couldn't be brought into one's body.
After the Moon Palace vanished, an opening appeared in the spot where it had stood.
"This is the entrance leading to the outside. If we enter from here, we can leave!"
Ning Youci pointed at the opening and explained to Xu Chuan.
Then, the two entered together.
The scene shifted. The cave indeed held a world of its own.
When they walked inside, they suddenly reappeared in the ancient battlefield, though not in the same location as before.
Xu Chuan felt a pang of regret for the Void Escaping Stone Pillars from before. Those things were priceless!
However, he was unaware that those Void Escaping Stone Pillars had long since turned to dust.
"Let's go, we're heading to the Demon Realm!"
Xu Chuan shook his head, no longer dwelling on these matters.
What I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate.
He was not so desperate as to go mad over such trivial matters.
The two set off again, but they hadn't walked far when Xu Chuan suddenly heard some boisterous noises.
"Go, catch it! How dare it injure me? This rabbit wants to die!"
"Boss, this rabbit is too agile, we can't catch it!"
"Useless! Several Reincarnation Realm cultivators can't even catch a rabbit, what are you good for!"
...
The sounds reached Xu Chuan's ears.
"What's happening up ahead?"
Xu Chuan was somewhat puzzled.
Their luck was also good, encountering other cultivators so soon after coming out.
"I don't know."
Ning Youci shook her head. She had only heard something about a rabbit and hadn't caught the specifics.
"Let's go take a look!"
