Wuwei took out several Elixirs from his pocket, one after another feeding them into Chulin's abdomen. He extended his palm and hovered it just above her stomach to help her absorb the medicinal effects. After a moment, the poison was suppressed, and Wuwei nodded at Li Hong, signaling him to erase the Awareness surrounding the insect. Li Hong complied. Everyone watched Chulin without blinking.
About three breaths later, Chulin exhaled a long breath of turbid air and slowly regained consciousness.
Her eyes gradually regained their luster as they swept over Li Hong, Yun Jiuzi, Chuming, and Chuxuan, finally resting on Li Hong's face as she weakly spoke, "Greetings, Sect Leader." A look of relief appeared on her face.
Li Hong hurriedly said, "You should rest; we have something to discuss with you."
Carefully choosing his words, Li Hong slowly informed Chulin about her current physical condition.
After listening, Chulin smiled weakly and said, "I just wanted to see you all one last time before following my master. Perhaps the heavens pity me; I got my wish. Even if I die now, it would be worth it."
Her words weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. After a moment of thought, Li Hong summoned Chongxiao and pointed at her, saying, "Take a look at her."
Chulin was startled at first and murmured, "Junior Sister?" Then she shook her head. "Junior Sister is in the Immortal Realm. If she is not my Junior Sister, then who is she?"
Li Hong sent Chongxiao away again and whispered something in Chulin's ear.
Chulin's eyes brightened upon hearing this, her cheeks flushed with excitement. "Master! Master has actually been reborn!"
"Yes, so you must also pull yourself together. Your physical body has already decayed. If you are willing, we can find another body for you to possess and cultivate anew. What do you think?" Li Hong said.
Chulin remained silent for a long time. The others in the room watched her anxiously, waiting for her decision.
Li Hong thought for a moment and added, "You don’t need to worry too much; we will find a dying body for you. This way, it won't affect your future mindset at all. Additionally, there is another method: the Ghost Path cultivation. I can find a way for you to learn the Ghost Path techniques, but all of this hinges on your willingness."
Chulin looked at Li Hong and gradually smiled. At that moment, her eyes sparkled with Crystal Light, and her complexion radiated like peach blossoms in full bloom. In an instant, Li Hong felt as if he were witnessing the gentle and shy senior sister from days gone by being reborn.
Then Chulin softly said, "Since Master can reincarnate and cultivate anew, why can't I? This life has already been filled with too much pain; I just want to forget it all. Master always said that the one who inherits her legacy must be Junior Sister because Junior Sister's resolve is a thousand times stronger than mine. It seems Master truly knows people well. I understand that reaching the Golden Core Stage in this life is my greatest achievement. If given a choice, I would like to start over—forgetting the pain of my family's destruction and watching Master and my sisters die before my eyes. In my next life, I hope my resolve will be ten times stronger so that I can ascend and go to the Immortal Realm to find Junior Sister. So Sect Leader and Great-Granduncle, please do not be sad for me; I choose to undergo reincarnation."
Yun Jiuzi sighed and looked at Li Hong, slowly nodding.
In fact, even before Chulin spoke, Li Hong had the same thought. Whether it was seizing a body or cultivating the Ghost Path, future achievements would be limited. It was far better to undergo a reincarnation. If one could be reborn like Ling Xiangzi as Chongxiao, the future would be limitless. However, there were risks associated with reincarnation; one might be reborn in an unfamiliar place where a Nine Li Sect Disciple would have no chance of finding them, making it impossible to re-enter the sect for cultivation. Another possibility was being reborn without a Spiritual Root, rendering everything meaningless.
Li Hong pondered for a long time and finally said, "I have a method that can minimize the risks of reincarnation, but it is not without its own dangers. Chulin, you know as well as we do what those risks are."
Chulin smiled and replied, "No regrets, no fears."
"What a statement! With just those words, Great-Granduncle, I know your next life will surely surpass this one!" Yun Jiuzi praised enthusiastically.
And so it was decided.
Li Hong prepared for Chulin's reincarnation while Yun Jiuzi led Chuming Wuwei and others to clean up Nine Li Cave Heaven.
At this moment, Li Hong could no longer concern himself with his agreement with Xuan Xuzi; he was consumed with preparations for Chulin's reincarnation.
To ensure the greatest chance of success in reincarnation, it was essential to leave an imprint of this life within the soul. This way, the reincarnated soul would gravitate towards the most suitable body. Regardless of what that body might be, after a certain period, the soul would awaken and find its way back to Luliang, minimizing any potential mishaps.
Leaving an imprint in Chulin's soul was not difficult; it essentially involved sealing a fragment of her indestructible primordial spirit within her soul, which would automatically unlock after some time. While this might seem impossible for others, Li Hong could achieve it using the Soul Searching Technique. However, whether the reincarnated soul would find the most suitable body for cultivation involved countless variables. The best approach was to take Chulin to Lingnan near the Lin Family, where there was abundant Fire Spirit Energy and a high probability of giving birth to cultivators with Fire Spirit Physique. If Chulin were taken there, perhaps by chance she could be directly reborn into the Lin Family. This was Li Hong's private hope.
Additionally, Li Hong prepared numerous potions to strengthen the soul and diligently administered them to Chulin every day.
Seeing that there was nothing more to prepare, Li Hong finally set off with Chulin towards Lingnan. Three days later, he returned alone to Nine Li Sect.
In a secluded cave, Chulin took the medicine for her reincarnation; her Golden Core scattered as her soul with its imprint ventured into the vast world. As for where she would end up, Li Hong had no idea and could only wait. When she turned five and the soul imprint released itself, the reincarnated Chulin would feel an urge to come to Luliang and pursue cultivation. This way, the chances of Nine Li Sect finding her would increase significantly.
After completing this task, Li Hong felt both joy and sorrow. He was happy that there was still great hope for Chulin's reincarnation and cultivation; he was sad because he wondered if Master Spirit Stone and Shibo Ling Xuzi had also been reincarnated. He truly hoped that one day he could see them standing before him again.
In truth, Li Hong knew very well that the hope of reuniting with them in their next lives was extremely slim. Spirit Stone had been killed by Yandao Demon Lord after his Golden Core shattered; Ling Xuzi had also been ambushed by Yandao and perished in a single blow, leaving all his power to pass on the Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade. Both had died abruptly without any preparation; they did not undergo a proper separation of souls. In their case, while reincarnation was not impossible, reuniting depended on fate—unlike Ling Xiangzi's situation where everything aligned perfectly.
Li Hong thought of his master and the images of Ling Xuzi, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife. No matter how lively the reconstruction of the Nine Li Sect was outside, he remained inside. Many past events lingered in his mind.
After a day and a night, he finally opened the door. As soon as his Divine Consciousness extended out, he was taken aback.
There were people everywhere! Upon closer inspection, they were not humans, but demons!
Several figures looked particularly familiar. The foremost figure wore a white patterned brocade robe and a tall, strange white hat. He was shouting at the top of his lungs, "Listen up, everyone! This evening, I will be inspecting things. Work harder and faster, or you can expect to be punished! If you do well, I won’t need to say more; each of you will receive an Elixir. Who knows, maybe even a bottle each if I’m in a good mood!"
"Rest assured, Ancestor! We will definitely complete the task!" A group of small demons hurriedly flew by carrying a log thicker than a house.
Another group of small demons was swiftly tossing white Jade Plates toward the Nine Li Great Hall. One after another, they connected seamlessly into a long line. Below them, some small demons knelt down and filled the gaps with steaming jade liquid. Once done, it was perfectly sealed without any visible seams. Looking further, the White Jade Plaza in front of the Nine Li Great Hall had already been restored to more than half its original state.
Everywhere was bustling with construction. The Great Demon small demons flew around carrying various materials. In the distance, there was a place where flames shot up into the sky; items damaged by the Demon Sect and corpses of beasts and humans were gradually turning to ashes, leaving no trace behind.
Li Hong dashed out and shouted, "Big Brother!"
Du Yizi laughed heartily as he rushed over, patting Li Hong on the back, both happy and emotional, unable to speak for a while.
After a long moment, he bitterly said, "Brother, don’t blame me..."
Before he could finish, Li Hong interrupted him, "We’re family; there’s no need for formalities! Recently, I intentionally hid away. If you blame yourself for that, I would feel ashamed!"
"Good brother!" Du Yizi's many words turned into a firm grip on Li Hong's hand.
Du Yizi indeed felt guilty. The Beast Cultivation had long harbored fear towards human cultivators. Even though their strength was not weak, they still did not want to get too involved in human conflicts. They did not wish to be cannon fodder for the Demon Sect or the Immortal Sect either. Even if Du Yizi was willing, those small demons who looked up to their Ancestor were still unwilling. So when Li Hong was treated as a traitor by the Immortal Sect and expelled from the Nine Li Sect, the Beast Cultivation did not stand up for him. Only Du Yizi, Jiang Xuanzi, and Shooting Jade spoke out to defend Li Hong’s innocence, but their words were drowned out by overwhelming criticism. Afterward, the Beast Cultivation chose to retreat into seclusion and no longer showed themselves.
Now that the Immortal Sect publicly announced that Chu Hongzi was not a traitor and officially appointed him as the leader of the Nine Li Sect, one could imagine how excited Du Yizi and others felt. With a letter from Yun Jiuzi, all Great Demon small demons came out of hiding and marched to Nine Li Cave Heaven under the leadership of Du Yizi, Jiang Xuanzi, and Shooting Jade to rebuild the Nine Li Sect.
At this moment, seeing Li Hong's face filled with sincere gratitude made Du Yizi indescribably happy. He laughed and said, "You probably don’t know yet; we have united all Beast Cultivation together and established the Beast Cultivation Sect. I am the sect master while you, Jiang Xuanzi, and Shooting Jade Fairy are vice sect masters. Don’t refuse!"
Li Hong exclaimed, "Congratulations, big brother!" However, he quickly changed his tone, saying, "But I absolutely cannot take the position of Deputy Sect Master of the Beast Cultivation Sect. However, I have a great gift I want to present to you."
"A great gift?" Du Yizi was taken aback.
Li Hong pointed at Nine Li Cave Heaven and smiled, "This place will be the Mountain Gate of the Beast Cultivation Sect from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yizi was shocked and shouted, "Absolutely not!"
At that moment, two figures shot over like arrows, also shouting, "It cannot be!" They were Jiang Xuanzi and Shooting Jade, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Li Hong, however, remained silent with a smile, appearing confident.
Across from them, the Original Qiankun Platform ruins were completely empty, with only a flattened hilltop remaining. In the center of the hilltop clearing was a small table set with two animal skin cushions, where Yun Jiuzi and Yue Changzi were sitting across from each other drinking.
In the sky, Li Hong's words and the astonished expressions of Du Yizi and others from Beast Cultivation were all heard and seen by Yue Changzi, whose expression changed as he looked at Yun Jiuzi.
Yun Jiuzi stroked his beard with a smile and said contentedly, "Good wine!"
