Chapter 348 The Cycle of Reincarnation
Chi You is dead, and the news has shaken the world.
The battle at Devil's Plains shook the entire universe. The three God-Kings made their move, and even the strongest beings from the God Realm crossed over to come...
This stirred up a storm in the mortal realm.
"The Imperial Star is so powerful, no wonder it once triggered an ancient war..."
"If Chi You alone is already capable of overpowering a god-king of the same level and contending with a god-emperor, how powerful must the legendary ancestral gods of the Imperial Star be?"
"Unfortunately, it's all over now."
People around the world are sighing with emotion.
Jin Ruofeng, the carefree Marquis, also attracted much attention from all over the world.
"The Golden Crow clan has produced another chosen one!"
"Incredible! Not only did they succeed in following the Pure Yang Path, they also killed the last remaining shadow of Chi You."
"Such merit will surely rise to prominence within the Golden Crow clan."
Discussions from all sides.
"Father, Jin Ruofeng has made such a great contribution. I think even the Yaogu God King seems to admire him quite a bit. Could something go wrong?"
Jin Zhennan was somewhat worried.
The reputation of the Carefree Marquis is so great that even many elders in the clan have sent messages to inquire about the details.
Jin Ruohong's face darkened as she said, "Don't rush!"
"So what if he killed Chi You? So what if he gained the favor of the Yaogu God King?"
“The God King Yaogu is old, and Jin Ruofeng is not one of His direct subordinates. He will not stand up for Jin Ruofeng.”
"Most of the powerful elders in the clan are from our lineage. Even if they make it to the elders' assembly, the mortal scriptures in their hands can only be given to you. You will become the only seed for our Golden Crow clan to enter the Reincarnation Palace."
He was very certain, paused, and then said, "Moreover, don't forget that Ancestor Ran Dao has a very close relationship with the Samsara Palace. What is Jin Ruofeng? He has no background in his clan and no connections in the Samsara Palace. With just a little bit of luck, how can he defy the heavens?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Zhennan was relieved.
……
And this moment.
Since killing Chi You, Li Lan has been in seclusion.
He paid no attention to anything else and focused intently on comprehending the "Ordinary Scriptures".
The mortal scriptures in the hands of the demon god Chi You can allow him to complete the cultivation of the "Four Symbols Evolution" realm.
However, he did not practice it, but only used it as a reference!
As he expected, the part about the common derivation of the four symbols was quite different from what he had come to understand.
Before the Four Symbols Evolution, Li Lan always followed the mortal scriptures, but from this realm onwards, he evolved his own Dao and his own fruit.
Now, comparing the original text of the Fanjing, Li Lan has also gained a lot. The original Fanjing is amazing, but he does not think it is stronger than the one he created.
He merely comprehended and absorbed the essence of it, integrating it into his own practice, but he would no longer cultivate according to the original mortal scriptures.
"Continue the simulation!"
After reading and understanding the mortal scriptures, Li Lan continued to infuse them with a massive amount of taboo points, deducing his own version of the "mortal scriptures".
The God-King's origin, the sun, provided him with a vast number of forbidden points, allowing him to act with impunity.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and he finally pushed the Four Symbols Evolution Realm to the third level on his own!
The image of the White Tiger has appeared!
"What exactly are you doing? Your path is already about to delve into the cycle of reincarnation!"
Even the evil spirit Zhu Wusi from the Yellow Springs was somewhat surprised at this moment, amidst the cycle of reincarnation.
He could sense the changes in Li Lan, changes that were so profound that he couldn't see through them, and he felt a sense of unease.
But Li Lan hasn't even reached the point of breaking the ban yet. How could he, a quasi-Supreme Being, be affected by Li Lan?
What kind of grand path is this guy creating?
Li Lan slowly stopped, his soul already entering the cycle of reincarnation, and said:
Do you know about the Samsara Palace?
The "blocking the path plan" that Miao Wuyu had told him about earlier originated from this force.
This organization is extremely mysterious. Even after Li Lan inherited the memories of Xiaoyao Hou, he did not find any relevant information. It was only after Yaogu God King returned that he learned a few bits and pieces.
It now seems that even god-king level forces need to be cautious in front of the Samsara Palace.
Therefore, Li Lan was eager to learn everything about this organization.
But Zhu Wusi shook his head and said, "The Samsara Palace is not something outsiders are qualified to understand unless they have truly entered the God King realm."
"However, I have heard that the Samsara Palace... is the true ruler of the entire God Realm. Even the great war from countless ages ago was ended because of this power!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan became even more awe-inspiring.
Could it be that during the ancient war, the Emperor Star Ancestral God was completely defeated and all the immortals perished because of this power?
"This force rarely shows itself, but it appears in the world about once every 100,000 years to recruit geniuses!"
Zhu Wusi said, "Those who are chosen by them are all people with the greatest karma and the highest future achievements... Some people even say that those geniuses chosen by them are reincarnations of beings in the Samsara Palace, and they are just bringing people back to the palace."
"The Samsara Palace seems to truly control reincarnation!"
These words truly shocked Li Lan.
The Hall of Reincarnation also controls reincarnation?
After the beings in the Samsara Palace pass away, they will be reincarnated in the world. Then, they will be reborn to find these people and take them back.
This is amazing.
"In other words, outsiders have no right to enter the Samsara Palace!"
Li Lan said.
If what Zhu Wusi said is true, then it means that Miao Wuyu, as a chosen one, also has her roots in the Samsara Palace? She also had a past in the Samsara Palace?
However, Li Lan wasn't afraid that Miao Wuyu might become someone else, as he understood reincarnation too well.
Regardless of who you were in your past life or what your past was like, as long as the cycle of reincarnation is functioning properly, it will definitely have the power to completely crush your past.
The influence of past lives on the present life is negligible.
When life begins anew, it's a completely new experience.
Moreover, Li Lan had personally shaped Miao Wuyu once, transforming her from the lofty, desireless saintess into the mortal Wu Yu.
"You could say that..."
Zhu Wusi nodded and said, "Only those from the Samsara Palace will be taken back by them. As for others... well, I've heard that even top geniuses with the potential to become God-Kings can only become menial servants in the Samsara Palace at most."
Li Lan fell silent. Was this the true foundation of the Samsara Palace?
The mere mention of the title "God King" is enough to crush the countless lives of humanity, leaving them unable to lift their heads.
Geniuses with the potential to become god-kings are extremely rare, yet they are so humble before the Hall of Reincarnation...
"Even becoming a servant in the Samsara Palace is no easy feat; it often requires a great deal of effort... Of course, those willing to invest reap rewards. There was once a once-powerful but now-declining force that spared no expense in sending a genius into the Samsara Palace as a servant. That genius became a disgrace to his generation of prodigies. But ten thousand years later, when that servant reappeared, he had become a prodigy of his generation, on par with a God-King..."
Zhu Wusi spoke of these secrets with great emotion, saying, "From then on, people realized that as long as one can enter the Samsara Palace, even as a menial servant, it is an immense opportunity."
Li Lan pondered, "So it seems I have no chance to enter the Samsara Palace?"
"But there's a rumor within the Golden Crow clan that whoever obtains Chi You's mortal scriptures will get a spot... Why is that?"
Li Lan said.
"Since the Samsara Palace did not choose anyone from the Golden Crow Clan, it means that there are no members of the Golden Crow Clan who have been reincarnated by the Samsara Palace. As for what you mentioned, it should be another method to enter the Samsara Palace—the Cycle of Reincarnation!"
"The cycle of reincarnation?" Li Lan asked.
"Indeed, there are always exceptions in this world. As long as one can pass through the cycle of reincarnation, one can become a nominal disciple of the Reincarnation Palace, not a true disciple. However, if one performs well enough later, there is still a chance..."
Zhu Wusi shook his head: "However, I don't know what the Cycle of Reincarnation is. I've only heard that it's extremely difficult to get through it!"
"The Burning Dao God King of the Golden Crow Clan once had a very close friendship with a genius who was reincarnated in the Samsara Palace. With this relationship and the Mortal Scripture, he might really have found a way to break through the cycle of reincarnation, who knows..."
Li Lan nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Where is the Cycle of Reincarnation located? When will it open?"
It now seems that if he wants to enter the Palace of Reincarnation, he can only try to break through this so-called cycle of reincarnation.
The Samsara Palace is a top secret of the Divine Realm, and it is currently carrying out a grand plan against him. Li Lan wouldn't feel at ease unless he personally found an opportunity to go in and take a look!
"You want to break through the cycle of reincarnation?"
Zhu Wusi was taken aback and was about to dissuade Li Lan, but then he suddenly remembered... Li Lan was the Lord of Reincarnation.
"What if you actually manage to get through?"
If even Li Lan, who personally controls a region of reincarnation, can't get through this, then no one in this world can successfully navigate the cycle of reincarnation!
He felt a strange sense of anticipation, after all, he had never seen the Samsara Palace in his life. So he said, "Whenever the Samsara Palace appears in the world, yellow smoke will appear in the eighty-one cities of the Divine Realm, and the roads will be winding and mysterious, with each road leading to the Samsara Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan already had an idea in mind.
Once we reach the realm of the gods, the first thing we must do is try to navigate the so-called cycle of reincarnation!
……
On that very day, he received a message from the Holy Maiden Miao Wuyu.
He was invited to visit the Cihang Holy Land privately.
They said the messenger from the Samsara Palace wanted to see him!
Li Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately went there.
……
He quietly left the Dao Palace and soon appeared at the Cihang Holy Land.
Someone was already waiting. An old nun led Li Lan into a garden in the Cihang Holy Land.
The melodious sound of a zither drifted over, its music seemingly containing some Buddhist philosophy, cleansing the soul. Li Lan walked slowly towards it and saw a woman in purple playing the zither on the waterside pavilion ahead, while Miao Wuyu sat cross-legged to one side, meditating.
When Li Lan arrived, the music suddenly changed. In an instant, the melody of the zither changed abruptly, and before Li Lan, it seemed as if an endless sea of worldly desires and an unfathomable abyss of eternal demons appeared, giving rise to all kinds of greed, anger, and delusion.
But Li Lan's expression merely hardened slightly, remaining completely still. He calmly sat down cross-legged, his mind clear and empty. Amidst the myriad demonic images, a giant Bodhi tree materialized behind him, extinguishing all desires and causing all demonic images to vanish.
"As expected of the carefree Marquis who walked the path of pure yang and was able to slay the demon god Chiyou."
A clear, cold voice rang out, and the music stopped.
Li Lan opened his eyes and found himself in a waterside pavilion. The woman in purple, wearing a veil, calmly looked up at him.
Beside her, the Holy Maiden Cihang, Miao Wuyu, had also awakened.
"Senior, has Marquis Xiaoyao passed your test?"
Miao Wuyu asked a question immediately.
"As you said, although this person is not a member of the Buddhist order, he certainly has innate wisdom and is quite extraordinary."
The woman in purple spoke, expressing considerable approval of Li Lan, and then continued, "My name is Ziyi, and I am the incense master of the Samsara Palace."
