Again, the Great Virtuous Master!
Although Zhang Chen has never met the Great Virtuous Master, he has long been famous for his name.
The Great Virtuous Master may not have acted personally, yet traces of him are everywhere.
The eight Talisman Decrees casually bestowed by the Great Virtuous Master can actually trap a Twelfth Tier deity, which is simply incredible.
"The cultivation of the Great Virtuous Master is already at the Perfection of the Twelfth Tier, advancing toward that unknown realm. No one knows how far he has progressed on that path. With his cultivation, the objects he bestows being able to trap a Tenth Tier deity is within reason. As one advances in cultivation, the gap becomes larger." Hu Li the Immortal spoke.
Hearing the words of Hu Li the Immortal, Zhang Chen deeply agreed. The higher the realm of cultivation, the greater the gap between the two sides.
"I don’t know how long it will take to restore your previous cultivation or if it will affect your plans." Zhang Chen said to Hu Li the Immortal.
He was also attempting reincarnation methods for the first time, and he could not predict the outcome.
"You just let go and do it, no matter how bad the situation gets, I will never blame you," said Hu Li the Immortal. "Besides, you would never harm me, would you?"
Zhang Chen had a way to restrain himself, and he could guess the other’s intentions, so he would not harm himself.
Zhang Chen nodded at the words, and in the next moment, with a wave of his hand, a Yin Yang Grinding Disc floated in front of him.
The black and white Yin Yang Fish on the Yin Yang Grinding Disc kept circling and cycling. Seeing this, Hu Li the Immortal praised, "What a treasure!"
"Indeed a treasure!" Zhang Chen’s eyes swept over the Yin Yang Grinding Disc, and with a light touch, the next moment the Yin Yang Grinding Disc flipped, revealing two dark cavities, transforming into two vortices constantly moving on the Yin Yang Grinding Disc.
"What is this? Why do I feel a surge of fear upon seeing this?" Hu Li the Immortal was taken aback at the rotating Beast Dao.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen deliberately wanted to intimidate Hu Li the Immortal and did not hide it, "This is Reincarnation."
"Reincarnation? Isn’t that a legendary existence?" Hu Li the Immortal’s face was full of disbelief, eyes filled with horror, indeed intimidated by Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen smiled without speaking and just manipulated the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After a while, he said: "You emerged from the Beast Dao, and to retrieve your past life’s cultivation, you must rely on the power of the Beast Dao. Only through Reincarnation can you find your previous life’s power."
As he finished speaking, Zhang Chen’s pale hand extended into the vortex representing the Beast Dao, reciting spells silently, urging the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the next moment a chaotic-colored Qi mechanism was pulled from the Beast Dao’s reincarnation by Zhang Chen.
"What is that..." Hu Li the Immortal looked at the chaotic-colored Qi mechanism extracted by Zhang Chen. It wasn’t a chaotic airflow but a chain wrapped in Qi mechanism.
One end of the chain was held by Zhang Chen, and the other was connected deeper into the Beast Dao, its destination unknown.
"This chain links to your lost past self." Sweat dripped from Zhang Chen’s temples as his Magical Power was rapidly consumed.
"Next, I will use Divine Techniques to connect your soul to your past self, so do not resist," said Zhang Chen. Holding the chain, he pulled hard, drawing a section of the chain from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, pressing it toward Hu Li the Immortal’s forehead.
Seeing Zhang Chen pressing the chain, Hu Li the Immortal instinctively tensed, wanting to dodge, but remembered he was already controlled by Zhang Chen, who wouldn’t need such tricks to harm him. Thus, he forced himself to resist the urge to turn away, allowing Zhang Chen to press the chain to his Forehead Ancestral Acupoint.
The chain then entered Hu Li the Immortal’s Forehead Ancestral Acupoint, rooting in his Divine Soul. Hu Li the Immortal’s Qi mechanism trembled, visibly increasing at a speed observable to the naked eye.
To avoid disturbing Zhang Chen’s spell casting, Hu Li the Immortal forcibly suppressed all fluctuations in his aura, gazing intently at Zhang Chen, whose sweat fell like rain, soaking his clothes as if washed in water.
After more than thirty breaths, Zhang Chen suddenly let out a long breath, moving his hand from Hu Li the Immortal’s forehead, revealing a swirling mark, lifelike, filled with endless darkness. Staring at it too intently felt like it could pull the soul in.
’Thud~’
Zhang Chen collapsed, sitting on the ground, cursing, "Damn it, I’ll never do such thankless work again."
Hu Li the Immortal looked at Zhang Chen, noticing his face gaunt as if severely ill.
"Zhang Chen, thank you. If I achieve anything in the future, I will not forget today’s grace." Hu Li the Immortal, seeing Zhang Chen’s state, knew he’d exhausted his Primordial Qi, and his youthful face was filled with gratitude.
"Damn it, I swear I’ll never do this kind of thing again! I almost died." Zhang Chen cursed.
"However, if you want to completely reclaim the power of your past life, it will take some time. During this period, take care of yourself and make sure not to shatter the Reincarnation Mark due to forcibly using Divine Techniques." Zhang Chen put away the Yin Yang Grinding Disc and cautioned Hu Li the Immortal.
The mark connects to the Beast Dao’s reincarnation. In Zhang Chen’s eyes, there is a chain within the mark, one end linking to Hu Li the Immortal’s present, and the other probing deep into the Beast Dao’s reincarnation, linking to the past.
"I understand. During this time, I’ll lie low and won’t cause you any trouble." Hu Li the Immortal felt the constant surge of power within him, a force continuously pouring from the Reincarnation Mark into his body, filling his eyes with joy.
Ecstatic!
Who would have thought that after coming to the Divine Land, there would be unexpected gains?
Looking at Zhang Chen in front of him, it was simply astonishing, full of incredibility.
Even the legendary Power of Reincarnation could be mastered!
"Is it really the legendary reincarnation that can make all beings reborn and start anew?" Hu Li the Immortal couldn’t help but ask.
"What do you think?" Zhang Chen replied with a smile.
Hu Li the Immortal’s pupils trembled violently, standing still while taking a deep breath.
"Alright, I’m leaving. Take good care of yourself. Strive to advance to the Twelfth Tier as soon as possible, so I can bask in your glory." Zhang Chen slowly stood up and took out the Wind Stabilizing Pill: "Use this for a while."
"No need!" Seeing the Wind Stabilizing Pill offered by Zhang Chen, Hu Li the Immortal shook his head and chose to refuse: "I’m integrating the heritage of my past life, just trying to solidify my foundation by overcoming tribulations. Combining the power of my past life and this life, if I can’t even withstand a wind disaster, why bother cultivating any magical power or refining any Daoist technique? I might as well hit my head and die right then." Hu Li the Immortal was full of confidence, and made a promise to Zhang Chen: "Although you tricked me, which is somewhat despicable, you also did me a great favor, and I will repay you in the future."
Zhang Chen glanced at Hu Li the Immortal without saying a word, and his steps floated toward the cave’s exit. Then he activated an Escape Technique and disappeared into the darkness.
Watching Zhang Chen’s departing figure, Hu Li the Immortal scratched his head: "He really is a peculiar person, full of countless incredibilities. If only he would kindly release my captivity."
As for Zhang Chen, he used an Escape Technique all the way to a place invisible to Hu Li the Immortal. He stretched out his hand and summoned the Yin Yang Grinding Disc, inspecting the Six Paths of Reincarnation before him. In the clearly empty whirlpool of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a chain stretched out from it, probing into the unknown.
An invisible force spread along the chain, pouring into the void along the chain.
"Recovering the power of one’s past life is not done at once but is rather linking the past and present together with this chain, like a water pipe drawing vast power from the past. But Hu Li the Immortal has fallen into my trap; by tonight, the mark will completely merge with Hu Li the Immortal’s soul origin." Zhang Chen’s lips curled into a sly smile.
He had a feeling that as long as he tugged on the chain, he could pull out Hu Li the Immortal’s soul and throw it into reincarnation.
"The mark is called the Reincarnation Seal. But using this skill is really too exhausting for the soul’s origin. If my foundation weren’t deep, I’d probably be drained of all my power by the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
However, the effect is exceedingly good!
"Anyone who receives my Reincarnation Mark is effectively under reincarnation protection. Even if they disperse in the future, I can use the Power of Reincarnation to pull them out from the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Zhang Chen whispered internally.
The Reincarnation Mark is indeed a life-saving trump card.
"It’s just that with my current Dao Practice, it’s too laborious to condense it. Otherwise, I would definitely condense one for Chengyu, the two little ones, and Second Lady." Zhang Chen put away the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, then stepped to the light screen, seeing himself pass through it effortlessly without any obstruction.
"This Eight Gates Locking Gold Array is really mysterious," Zhang Chen mused inwardly.
Then he saw Zhang Chen stepping out, pondering the matter of the Six Paths of Reincarnation: "Maybe when my cultivation improves a bit, I might try to condense more Reincarnation Marks."
Zhang Chen returned to his residence all the way, then sat cross-legged in the room, absorbing the Essence Qi from Heaven and Earth to constantly restore his Primordial Qi.
As dusk fell, three little ones walked in from outside the gate, each with a dissatisfied look and grumbling, immediately catching Zhang Chen’s attention.
The three little ones rarely ever display such behavior.
