Chapter 2028: Dim Lights, Azure Rainbow in the Rain (Third Update)

“Reincarnation… what exactly is Reincarnation…? I understood before that Reincarnation is Heaven, but in reality, Reincarnation has more meaning than just being Heaven.” Wang Lin walked across the Heavenly Curtain, the figures of Zhou Ru, Situ Nan, and that Lunatic constantly appearing in his mind.

“The Lunatic's experience might not be Reincarnation, but Zhou Ru's choice, and Situ Nan's choice, are Reincarnation… They did not choose to leave, but chose to integrate here, because they have too many ties, too many concerns, too much reluctance to let go.

Zhou Ru could not bear to part with the parents and family affection of this life. Situ Nan could not bear to part with the soldiers who had followed him for a lifetime. As Situ Nan said, every Reincarnation is a lifetime, filled with many concerns. How can one simply cut them off?

This is the power of Reincarnation… it can make people unable to extricate themselves, or perhaps, unwilling to extricate themselves.” A look of confusion appeared in Wang Lin's eyes, and within that confusion, he seemed to vaguely gain some deeper enlightenment.

“Reincarnation is Heaven, and it is also a mirror. The self reflected in this mirror is Reincarnation.”

The confusion in Wang Lin's eyes gradually dispersed, revealing clarity. His understanding of Reincarnation, influenced by Zhou Ru and Situ Nan, was slowly approaching Perfection.

“I wonder what the choices of the others will be…” Wang Lin sighed softly, looked into the distance, and walked away.

Within the Northern Continent of the Immortal Clan Continent, inside a mountain range, there was a dense forest. The place looked extremely treacherous, with an Official Road winding below, resembling a narrow fissure in the sky.

There was an Immortal Cave there, surrounded by desolation, inhabited only by birds and beasts. However, since the appearance of this Immortal Cave many years ago, no wild beast dared to approach the place again.

The interior of the Immortal Cave was extremely luxurious. Illuminated by countless Luminous Pearls, the Immortal Cave was very bright, but this brightness, due to the silence of the place, exuded a chilling coldness.

At this moment, a Cultivator was sitting cross-legged in the main chamber of the Immortal Cave.

This Cultivator did not look old and resembled a dwarf, but he possessed a huge head. Compared to his Big Head, his body appeared extremely thin and small, looking very disproportionate.

This Big Head Cultivator had a gloomy expression. As he breathed, he filled the Immortal Cave with grimness.

“Big Head…” While the Cultivator was meditating, a voice suddenly arose, echoing throughout the cold Immortal Cave.

The Cultivator's mind shook, and he abruptly opened his eyes. The instant he opened them, without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and spat out a green light. The green light let out a sharp roar, heading straight for a white figure that had appeared in the Immortal Cave.

Wang Lin looked strange. The green light was a ferocious centipede, and before it even got close, a foul wind assaulted his face. Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at the centipede. The centipede immediately paused, floating motionless in the air.

The Big Head Cultivator now showed a look of shock. This centipede, refined within his Primordial Spirit, could entangle even Cultivators with slightly higher cultivation than him, giving him enough time to either escape or strike again.

But now, it was so easily frozen in mid-air by the person before him, and he couldn't even discern what Divine Ability the opponent had used.

“Ma Tao, must you really exterminate me?!” The Big Head Cultivator let out a desperate roar. With a loud boom, a large amount of mist spread out from his body. With a flash, he tried to flee.

“Ma Tao?” Wang Lin was stunned. He pointed his right hand into the mist, and immediately a crystal light penetrated the mist, suddenly imprinting itself on the Big Head Cultivator's glabella as he fled.

Big Head's entire body shook, and confusion appeared in his eyes. Various memories seemed to constantly surface in his mind. At the same time, Wang Lin grabbed the Void Realm with his right hand, and immediately the Heaven and Earth Power of the surrounding mountain range surged over with a rumble, condensing in Wang Lin's right hand, transforming into a small sword.

This sword, condensed from Heaven and Earth Power and formed by Wang Lin's Faith Art, could be called a supreme treasure!

With a flick, the small sword shot into the mist and stabbed into the nearby wall. Taking a deep look at Big Head, who was awakening his memories within the mist, Wang Lin's eyes softened. He waved his large sleeve, and Heaven and Earth Power condensed, transforming into a large number of Medicinal Pills that fell into a Gourd. After placing it aside, Wang Lin turned and left.

After a long time, the mist dispersed, and Big Head walked out with a complex and confused expression. He sat there, staring blankly at the empty Immortal Cave. It wasn't until a good while later that he raised his head and softly muttered.

“Master…” He saw the sword that alarmed him, and he saw the Medicinal Pill Gourd beside it, which was filled with dense Heaven and Earth Power. Tears streamed from his eyes.

Still within the Northern Continent, but in a different state, a line of dozens of long rainbows whistled across the sky. A crystal light flashed from afar and, amid the astonishment of the many Cultivators, disappeared among them.

No one noticed that as the crystal light dispersed, amidst the dazzling flash, it landed on the glabella of a boy wearing a red robe among the group of Cultivators.

The boy's entire body shook, and the sealed memories within his mind slowly began to awaken.

The group of Cultivators remained uncertain and suspicious for a moment. After a brief discussion among themselves, they quickly continued their journey. The red-robed boy in the crowd showed confusion in his eyes. Several hours later, when the group of Cultivators rested and breathed on a mountain Peak, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, replaced by complexity and trance.

“I am… Hongshanzi…” The red-robed boy looked up at the sky, a smile slowly appearing on his face. He took a deep breath, looked at the land before him, and his heart was filled with excitement.

In the Eastern Continent, within the Nanni Continent which Wang Lin had once briefly passed through, there was a very small Sect. This Sect did not have many Cultivators, only a few thousand people. Its Mountain Gate location was not very good, and the Spiritual Qi was not very dense.

Especially after several Great Heavenly Venerates and the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Clan issued an Imperial Decree, informing all Immortal Clan Sects to prepare for war with full force, undercurrents began to move, making it impossible for such small Sects to remain peaceful. They had to attach themselves to larger Sects to continue existing.

War was about to begin. It would be difficult for such small Sects to continue their Legacy during the future Immortal Ancient War.

Shen Bao, as the Sect Master of this Sect, possessed considerable cultivation. He was currently quite anxious, unsure where the future path lay, and whether his Sect could still exist after the great war centuries later.

He had painstakingly climbed to his current position, becoming a Sect Master. He did not want to give up, but the path before him seemed to be only one: subservience.

However, the target and choice of subservience would lead to different consequences, a large portion of which were equally severe. Furthermore, the Elders within the Sect held different opinions from him, showing signs of division regarding the choice of affiliation.

While Shen Bao was worried, on this day, a white-robed, white-haired youth walked up from the foot of the mountain, step by step, entering the Sect. He was Wang Lin.

Wang Lin found Shen Bao, and several hours later, Wang Lin departed.

When he left, Shen Bao stood outside the Main Hall, looking at the sky. Confusion was in his eyes. After a long time, the confusion slowly vanished, turning into determination.

During this period, Wang Lin had seen almost all of his old acquaintances from the Immortal Cave Realm. For some, he chose to unlock their memories of their past life; for others, Wang Lin gave the right of choice to the individual.

But regardless of the final outcome, Wang Lin would leave behind some items to protect their lives, concluding that period of shared origin in the Immortal Cave Realm. Or rather, these people all belonged to the Sect named Seven Dao.

Sun Moon Sect, the strongest Sect within the Tianfang Continent. This Sect numbered tens of thousands of people, making it the premier Sect in the entire Tianfang Continent, and was one of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates of the Eastern Continent.

Over the past thousand years in the Sun Moon Sect, many Prodigies have appeared, but none could compare to a woman named Qing Hong. This woman's talent was truly difficult to find in ten thousand years!

She became a Disciple of the Sun Moon Sect hundreds of years ago. In just a few hundred to nearly a thousand years, she actually became a Third Step mighty figure, and reached the Peak of void nirvana, seemingly just a hair's breadth away from becoming a Cultivator of Void Spirituality.

Naturally, this had a lot to do with the Sun Moon Sect's full effort in cultivating her, but it also demonstrated how precious this woman named Qing Hong was in the eyes of the Sun Moon Sect.

Especially the Grand Elder of the Sun Moon Sect, who was almost constantly in secluded cultivation and possessed Gold Venerate cultivation. It was said that she already had the strength of a Heavenly Venerate but had not gone to challenge the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land.

This person personally accepted the woman as a Disciple, coming out of seclusion every few years to offer guidance on her cultivation matters. There was even a period when she brought the woman into her Seclusion Grounds to practice together.

This woman was generally referred to as the Saintess in the Sun Moon Sect. While being looked up to by countless Sect members, her peerless beauty also made her the object of admiration for the Sect Disciples.

However, this woman was too outstanding, like a fleeting glimpse of beauty, and her personality was very cold. Over the hundreds to nearly a thousand years, she had never made a move to choose a Dao Companion. Yet, the more she acted this way, the more she was admired by the Sun Moon Sect Disciples.

Especially the descendants of the Elders and the Disciples who felt they were qualified, their pursuit of this woman never ceased.

On this day, the woman named Qing Hong emerged from her seclusion. Outside, dark clouds permeated the sky, and thunder boomed, as if rain could fall at any moment. The sound of thunder made her unable to calm her mind, as if something was about to happen.

She stood outside her own Immortal Cave, looking at the dark clouds between heaven and earth, and gazing at the vibrant colors in the rain below the mountain. Confusion appeared in her eyes.

A beautiful butterfly flew from the distance, braving the strong wind, circling and dancing in front of the woman, capturing her attention.

She liked red and she liked butterflies. Everyone in the Sect only knew her first preference, but her second preference was known to no one.

Gazing at the flying butterfly, the confusion in the beautiful woman's eyes deepened. Like other Reincarnated individuals, indistinct presences often appeared in her dreams.

She always felt that she did not belong to this world. This feeling made her coldness unique.

Thunder rumbled, and rain poured down, sprinkling onto the earth and merging with the mountain wind, forming a curtain of rain like a hanging screen.

She wore a red dress. From a distance, she looked like Hong Die. Along with the butterfly in front of her, she seemed ready to drift away with the wind in the mountain breeze and the rain, uncared for by the world.

“Hong Die…” A gentle voice came from behind the woman.

The third update is finished. I cannot do a fourth update today. These three chapters were written very slowly, slower and slower… Tomorrow, the guaranteed minimum is three chapters. I will strive to write a fourth chapter.
