Reincarnation Seal

The sword aura in Zhou Tong's eyes dissipated, revealing a hint of confusion.

"Time is merciless, a hundred years have passed. Was what I experienced real?" Zhou Tong stared blankly, recalling the events of the past. Was the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass he had transformed into, and the insights he had gained over the past hundred years, all real?

Zhou Tong kept thinking about the reasons for this change.

"The Reincarnation Mirror seems to have changed!" Zhou Tong closed his eyes and looked into the Reincarnation Mirror. Gradually, he understood what had happened.

This is the second function of the Reincarnation Mirror — the Light of Reincarnation!

It can enable a cultivator to be reincarnated Lifetime!

Of course, this cycle is not a real cycle; it can only be considered a "simulation."

Perhaps it was because his cultivation level had reached the required level, or perhaps it was the power of reincarnation from the Divine Emperor's Law; in any case, Zhou Tong triggered the second function of the Reincarnation Mirror — the Light of Reincarnation.

"The 'simulated' cycle was just a dream!" Zhou Tong sighed, but was also filled with joy, because his spiritual sense had increased dramatically; at the same time, his understanding of the Grass Character Sword Art had reached a whole new level.

Although it's a simulation, the hundred-year cycle of reincarnation isn't fake; it's real.

Both the surge in spiritual awareness and the insights gained from the Grass Character Sword Art were genuine.

"It's a pity that during my hundred years of reincarnation, I just grew up in a daze according to the original way of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. If I had my original self-awareness, I could have become a saint on the spot by now after these hundred years of cultivation!" Zhou Tong also felt quite regretful.

Although the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass ranks among the Ten Fiends and is incomparably powerful, its growth rate is extremely slow. A hundred years is at most considered to be only the age of adolescence for the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

Therefore, the power that Zhou Tong received in this Lifetime was not very strong.

The only consolation is that Zhou Tong's understanding of the Grass Character Sword Art has reached a whole new level, getting closer to the essence of this technique.

"Next, I just need to spend a little time cultivating with the Taiyin True Scripture and digesting the foundation of that Lifetime. I should be able to pass through five heavenly Heavenly Tribulation and directly reach the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform!" Zhou Tong sensed the surge in his divine sense and was already satisfied.

Gaining Lifetime of insights out of nowhere has saved me at least five or six years.

What he lacks most right now is time!

He hasn't been in Big Dipper for long, but apart from the most basic cultivation, he has spent most of his time collecting all the opportunities he knows. He doesn't have a deep understanding of various secret techniques and methods. If it weren't for various external factors, he wouldn't even be able to form the Ten Fiends Divine Form.

"The new function of the Reincarnation Mirror has filled my last gap. Moreover, my understanding of the Grass Character Sword Art is now closer to the origin of this technique. Maybe I can try to cultivate the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form and completely integrate the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass into the Hegemon Body?" Zhou Tong thought to himself with delight.

However, his eyes suddenly blazed with light, then his pupils contracted sharply, and his breathing became rapid.

In that instant, he sensed something on his body. Upon closer inspection, he immediately saw a small but very real pattern on his body – the Reincarnation Seal!

This Reincarnation Seal is not large, but it is very complex, like a deep starry sky, or a condensed version of the Reincarnation Life-and-Death Disc.

"The Reincarnation Seal! I've actually formed a Reincarnation Seal!!" Zhou Tong was shocked.

Reincarnation is a very serious topic that has puzzled countless geniuses throughout history and into the future. It remains an unsolved mystery, and no one can explain it clearly.

Even the two immortal Immortal King from the Immortal Ancient Era, Immortal King Wuzhong and Six Paths Immortal King, were obsessed with it. In fact, Six Paths Immortal King almost went mad in his research on reincarnation.

But does reincarnation really exist in this world?

He knew that somewhere in this world there existed places like the Path of Reincarnation and the Ancient Underworld, but was this really the reincarnation he imagined?

Even though Zhou Tong himself was not from this world, he still didn't quite believe in reincarnation; because he was very clear about his origins, and even how he came to be in this world.

But at this moment, he felt somewhat lost.

Does one's "past life" truly exist? Or is it that the Reincarnation Mirror casts its Light of Reincarnation, making one mistakenly believe that Lifetime have been reincarnated?

And what exactly are those so-called past lives and previous lives?

Is it merely the reincarnation of some material things? The kind of material reincarnation represented by the soul and consciousness?

What are the past lives reflected in the Reincarnation Mirror? Are these past lives truly past lives? Or are they simply the past lives experienced by some material remnants left behind by our ancestors?

Then this body of mine should also have a past life that I don't know about, because my Hegemon Body was "created" by the Reincarnation Mirror, using the substances left behind by some people after they died scattered on Earth.

Or does the Reincarnation Mirror have other functions, washing away that "past life" and purifying it?

The more I think about this problem, the more terrified I become.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally raised his head, snapping out of his reverie. "I can't think about this problem for now. It's not something I can figure out right now. I'll leave the issue of reincarnation for when I become Immortal King! Without becoming Immortal King, I won't even have the slightest qualification to explore reincarnation!"

"Perhaps the cycle of reincarnation I just experienced was just a mark of a certain period of time, a strange journey when my spirit wandered through the void, an illusory experience after my primordial spirit left my body." Zhou Tong quickly made up his mind and stopped thinking about this question.

Just then, Zhou Tong finally turned his gaze to the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass beside him.

"Clang!!"

Sword energy soared into the sky, and nine Ye Zi were born outside Zhou Tong's body. They were purple grass leaves, which were also sword leaves. With a gentle flutter, they cleaved through the sky, startling gods and Buddhas!

That sword light was incredibly sharp and domineering.

Zhou Tong was also surprised when he saw this plant.

He could see that this blade of grass was not merely a convergence of the laws of the Great Dao, nor simply a "Dharma Form" formed by cultivating the Grass Character Sword Art to an extremely high level; it also carried an aura of life, as if it were a real living being.

"This is... Latent Life!?" A look of realization appeared in Zhou Tong's eyes.

The Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, each of which generates a Latent Life, up to a maximum of nine. This latent Latent Life is extremely crucial; it may be able to break free from the Latent Life upon the cultivator's death, allowing the cultivator to be resurrected.

Divine Silkworm Princess, despite possessing only the cultivation level of Saint King, survived the Great Sage's sneak attack because she had several Latent Life within her. These latent Latent Life forms activated, allowing her to live.

"So that's how it is... I never expected that I would actually complete the first level of the Divine Emperor Scripture!" A look of surprise flashed across Zhou Tong's face. "I actually completed the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm so quickly!?"

"Dao Self was because of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm that I was able to trigger the Light of Reincarnation in the Reincarnation Mirror, thus obtaining a Reincarnation Seal?" Zhou Tong was very surprised.

He knew that the true Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm required the severing of everything from the past with each transformation, each one like a rebirth, akin to reincarnation.

Perhaps it was this power that triggered the Reincarnation Mirror, causing it to unleash the Light of Reincarnation Mirror, thus allowing it to gain an Reincarnation Seal!

"However... this hidden Latent Life can be used in this way!" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then—

"Brush!!"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass flashed by, like a sword light, soaring into the sky and finally landing in the spirit body of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

"Sizzle!!"

Zhou Tong's Nine-Leaf Sword Grass spirit body suddenly erupted with soaring sword energy, and the terrifying sword intent cleaved through the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, heaven and earth collapsed, and sword energy filled the air, engulfing the area. Zhou Tong could even see that the Immortal Domain phenomena within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings seemed to have been torn apart by the sword energy.

The sword energy was as vast as mountains and as deep as the sea, but soon, this terrifying sword energy finally dissipated completely.

Along with the sword energy, the spirit body of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass also dissipated.

As his spiritual body dissipated, Zhou Tong felt no discomfort, but rather a hint of joy. He clearly saw a single grass seed emerge and fall into his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

"It really worked... The Divine Emperor Scripture is a perfect match for my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, and the Cave Heaven Nurturing Spirit!" Zhou Tong's face showed a hint of joy.

The Cave Heaven Nurturing Spirit " has been elevated to another extreme by Zhou Tong— " Cave Heaven Nurturing Divine Embryo."

However, his Divine Fetus is extraordinary; it is not an ordinary thing, but Ten Fiends!

The Divine Form Transformation the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body is also very suitable for the cultivation of the Divine Emperor Scripture, and each transformation allows Zhou Tong to cultivate a hidden Latent Life.

And this Latent Life, merging with the Divine Fetus nurtured within the Heavenly Cave, can completely transform into a real life!

"If my true self dies, I can be reborn as the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass of the Ten Fiends!" Zhou Tong realized.

The Latent Life cultivated through the Divine Emperor Scripture is not necessarily activated. Just like the Divine Silkworm Princess, even with Latent Life force, she would not have survived without divine medicine to save her life.

However, if the Latent Life is transferred to the Divine Fetus in the Heavenly Cave, then the Latent Life will definitely be activated.

That's no longer Latent Life, it's a true destiny!

"Now that I have an extra life, I can be a little more unrestrained..." Zhou Tong smiled.
