Who Will Fall

The previously listless crowd, without exception, were all jolted awake from their illnesses and turned their gazes toward Xiao Qingshan.

The resentment from being "taken advantage of" has dissipated considerably. If there really is a secret to Reincarnation Dharma Body, spending one hundred million drops of Sovereign Spirit Liquid... is not out of the question.

"Alright, stop trying to communicate with me with your eyes. If you agree, pay up now; if you don't, get out!" Xiao Qingshan said casually, rolling up his sleeves.

After casually earning a few hundred small fortunes, Xiao Qingshan patted his wallet with satisfaction and said, "I sincerely suggest that you guys give up on that scumbag Reincarnation Dharma Body."

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled as to why Xiao Qingshan would suddenly say such a thing.

"Think about it, the Reincarnation Dharma Body is closely related to the Immortal Great Emperor! The Eternal Undying Body was kept in the Maha Clan for so long because it was related to the Immortal Great Emperor, but my old man still managed to snatch it away."

"On the other hand, even though the Primal Dharma Body Reincarnation Dharma Body is readily available, my father didn't bother with it, not because the way to obtain it was too exploitative!"

The group continued to look at each other, no one daring to speak up or join Xiao Qingshan in criticizing Flame Emperor.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. To obtain the Reincarnation Dharma Body, the Floating Life Myriad Forms Dharma Body and the Myriad Forms Return to One Dharma Body are essential foundations. In addition, one must absorb the power of Reincarnation and continuously strengthen the connection with the Reincarnation Dharma Body."

"However, everyone has connections. Most young people in this Great Thousand World come from Reincarnation; the only difference is how many or how few."

"But having a connection alone is not enough. The true body of the Reincarnation Dharma Body is nourished by the power of Reincarnation and is located within Reincarnation. No matter how strong the connection is, it is impossible to defy the World Will and pull it out."

Xiao Qingshan paused again, and a sense of foreboding immediately welled up in everyone's hearts.

If you can't pull it out, then you can only go inside to look for it.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Qingshan said quietly, "If you can't get it out, you can only go into the Reincarnation to find it. But the Reincarnation does not allow the physical body to exist, and the soul will be completely erased, leaving only the life mark to be reincarnated."

"Of course, your efforts in this space have not been in vain. The Energy Core you have absorbed will provide you with a layer of protection, so that your minds will not be erased as soon as you enter Reincarnation."

"What you need to do is, relying on that connection and the protection you have gained in this space, withstand the pressure of the World Will in the Reincarnation, and find the Reincarnation Dharma Body."

"The stronger the connection, the easier it is to find; the stronger the protection, the longer it can last. Nobody knows how to handle the details, and nobody has experience."

"After finding it, it's not all over. You still have to accept the 'past life' but retain the 'present life' and firmly believe in gaining the recognition of the Reincarnation Dharma Body."

"Whether you succeed or fail, at the very least, your physical bodies will definitely not be preserved."

"My father once boasted to me about Bo Yi, saying that he could withstand the pressure of the World Will to forcibly delve into Reincarnation, and that he could refine the Reincarnation Dharma Body as a great medicine, but he never mentioned that he could control the Reincarnation Dharma Body. The difficulty of that is unimaginable."

Everyone was shocked and their hearts trembled. They never imagined that subduing the Reincarnation Dharma Body would be so difficult.

Those young people who have only broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign in the last few hundred years are fine, but those old seniors who broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign early on are older than Reincarnation, so where would they get their "previous lives"?

"What if multiple people gain recognition?" Mu Chen's expression suddenly turned serious.

"I don't know about that, since no one has ever gained recognition in the past," Xiao Qingshan shrugged.

"So, let's just give up. The Myriad Forms Return to One Dharma Body is already among the top twenty Dharma Body. Giving up everything for a Reincarnation Dharma Body, and not even being able to gain anything, is just too much of a loss!"

Xiao Qingshan said one last thing, then took out a palm-sized jade talisman from his pocket, crushed it casually, and his figure gradually faded away, detaching himself from this space.

As the son of Flame Emperor, Xiao Qingshan had no shortage of resources, so there was no need for him to desperately try to obtain the chance of the Reincarnation Dharma Body.

However, after Xiao Qingshan came out, he noticed that his father's expression was a little strange.

In Xiao Qingshan's memory, his father Xiao Yan did not have the slightest bit of the majesty and domineering presence of the strongest person in the Great Thousand World. Instead, he was like an old child, always laughing and carefree.

Xiao Qingshan always believed that he should have been a decent person, but he had an unreliable father, which made him less decent as well.

But this time, Xiao Qingshan met his father, who had a serious face and never smiled.

That calm face revealed an indescribable sense of oppression, and his emotionless eyes made him seem like a god who held life and death in his hands.

"Sit." The emotionless words made Xiao Qingshan shudder and dare not make the slightest mistake, sitting obediently cross-legged beside Xiao Yan.

Xiao Qingshan looked at Lin Dong guiltily. With his mother gone, the only one who could save him at the scene was this older brother.

But Lin Dong simply looked up at the sky and remained silent.

A terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in Xiao Qingshan's mind. He looked up and saw a huge light screen reflecting everything in the sky.

Xiao Qingshan smiled, realizing he might have to go through the Reincarnation...

In the space filled with gray fog, after Xiao Qingshan withdrew, the remaining people also scattered.

Realizing he had no hope of controlling the Reincarnation Dharma Body, the Heavenly Sovereign continued to search for Energy Body, trying to strengthen the Myriad Forms Return to One Dharma Body as much as possible and refine his own supernatural powers.

Those who still have hope are basically the young people of the Endless Fire Domain.

Some wanted to gain more "protection" and deepen their connections, while others wanted to gain recognition from the Reincarnation Dharma Body as soon as possible, so they sought a place far away from everyone and risked their lives.

Mu Chen also set up a fairly sturdy Formation. Under the protection of Nine Nether, his soul left his body and drifted into Reincarnation on its own.

During the cultivation of Spiritual Power, at the Heaven Transformation Realm of the Three Heavenly Realms, the Divine Soul can break free from the constraints of the physical body and merge into the world, concealing itself at any time and making it difficult for others to detect. When attacked, the body can also merge into the world to reduce the damage.

But if the physical body dies, the Divine Soul will also become rootless and vanish in an instant.

In this special space, which is too close to the Reincarnation, the soul leaves the body and can be easily drawn into Reincarnation if one is not careful. In addition, the gray mist will also hinder perception, making the soul unable to detect the location of the physical body.

At this moment, Mu Chen felt that his soul had some features that did not belong to him—these were the original mottled "elephants".

These "elephants" are constantly dissipating, and Mu Chen will not be greatly affected until they completely disappear.

"At this rate of dissipation, it will only take a maximum of two hours..."

Mu Chen's heart sank. Without time to think, he followed the sensation and plunged into another space.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

For the first time since birth, Mu Chen felt the rejection of the World Will. The surrounding World Energy could not be used by him at all, but instead suppressed his own power.

If it weren't for the constantly dissipating "elephant" protecting him, Mu Chen's soul would probably have collapsed instantly.

"Flame Emperor was able to find the Reincarnation Dharma Body while still in his physical body. Just how strong is the Ruler Realm...?"

Mu Chen's mind sharpened, but he dared not delay. He activated his Divine Soul power and ventured deeper into the depths.

On the road, one sees souls of all shapes and sizes, countless beings missing limbs, and some that are merely rolling heads, with almost no complete souls existing.

And these remnants of the soul are constantly dissipating, until finally only a tiny, barely perceptible point of light remains, its whereabouts unknown.

Looking at the listless, mutilated ghosts, Mu Chen felt himself becoming confused and losing himself.

Time passed by, yet it seemed as if it had never passed, frozen at the moment Mu Chen stepped into this space. The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, with only incomplete creatures appearing one after another.

Mu Chen could sense the call originating from the Reincarnation Dharma Body, but he could never find where it was.

At one point, Mu Chen suddenly realized that he saw two familiar figures.

It was a Demonic Qi, utterly out of place with its surroundings, and one that inspired a deep-seated loathing.

Beside that Demonic Shadow stood a towering figure radiating countless Glazed Divine Light, seemingly eternal and immortal.

In front of the two figures, Mu Chen also discovered a humanoid statue about ten feet in size, ancient and indistinct, with countless ever-changing patterns on its surface.

With just a couple of glances, Mu Chen saw many Divine Beast existing in the stars, such as the True Dragon True Phoenix Undying Bird, and Duobao Beast —this was naturally the Reincarnation Dharma Body, which recorded all living beings existing in the Great Thousand World.

"Outer Realm Evil Clan? Immortal Great Emperor!" Mu Chen's half-awake consciousness instantly cleared, and without any hesitation, he charged towards that direction.

Only then did Mu Chen realize that the "elephant" that had been protecting him had been completely exhausted, and he was only a few minutes away from the Reincarnation Dharma Body.

"That was close..." Mu Chen looked at his feet, which were disappearing, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. His gaze was fixed on the two figures in front of him.

Contrary to my subconscious guess, this was not a scene of Immortal Great Emperor fighting against an Outer Realm Evil Clan for the Reincarnation Dharma Body, but rather two people who had already reached the Reincarnation Dharma Body merging their "past lives".

Before the Immortal Great Emperor stood Ye Xiu's slightly weakened yet still proudly upright divine soul; while before the Outer Realm Evil Clan stood Cheng Xin's face filled with existential doubt.

Mu Chen glanced at the Immortal Great Emperor had sacrificed everything to protect the Great Thousand World, and then at the Heart Demon Emperor who had invaded the Great Thousand World. Before the Reincarnation Dharma Body, this Primal Dharma Body, and before the World Will in the Reincarnation, they were like bubbles, flickering and uncertain.

Of course, there are differences. Ye Xiu's soul was enveloped by the Glazed Divine Light, as if it were completely isolated from the surrounding space and unaffected by Reincarnation.

On the other hand, Cheng Xin... he was completely unable to integrate with the Demonic Qi, and his soul was still dissipating. Even if he did not reincarnate again and escape by chance, his soul would inevitably be damaged and he would be seriously injured.

As the inheritor of the Ancient Thunder Palace and the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor, Cheng Xin's psychological trauma is likely to be even greater. Even if she takes the Divine Pill to repair her soul, she will inevitably suffer a backlash from the Heart Demon and go into a demonic state on the spot.

Mu Chen approached the statue, and an invisible wave swept across his soul. The next moment, four different phantoms appeared before him—a tree, a snake, an infant, and an adult.

The tree seemed to be some ancient and exotic species, possessing the aura of Earthly Sovereign being. The snake was around the Divine Soul Realm, with a trace of Divine Beast Bloodline Power. The infant was unremarkable, and the adult was only at the Creation Realm, not even Sovereign being.

After briefly sensing the Demon Emperor, who was comparable to the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign, and the Immortal Great Emperor, who surpassed the Heavenly Sovereign, not far away, Mu Chen felt that it was quite easy for him to merge with his past life and maintain his present life.

Mu Chen comforted himself in this way...

"This Reincarnation Dharma Body is truly extremely dangerous. When merging with the previous life, the soul is still dissipating and then being replenished by the previous life. Maintaining oneself under such circumstances is extremely difficult."

Lin Dong frowned as he watched Mu Chen's Divine Soul gradually transform into a "Frankenstein's monster," with an extra pair of incongruous legs.

Mu Chen has three strange and unusual past lives in front of him...

"Ye Xiu has it much harder than Mu Chen," Xiao Yan added.

"Ye Xiu?" Lin Dong ignored Xiao Qingshan beside him and sat cross-legged on Yao Xiaotian's head as well. "Since Ye Xiu is the reincarnation of Immortal Great Emperor, he should be able to hold on, right?"

"Yes, what you're thinking about isn't Ye Xiu's unwavering will or anything, but rather how a reincarnated Immortal Great Emperor should behave—which is tantamount to denying Ye Xiu's existence." Xiao Yan sighed, "They're all geniuses, who doesn't have a bit of arrogance?"

Lin Dong's expression turned thoughtful. Indeed, the first thing that came to his mind was the extraordinary nature of the reincarnation of the Immortal Great Emperor, just as the seniors of the Heavenly Profound Continent thought of the power of the reincarnation of the Ice Master...

Recalling his unpleasant experiences in his youth, Lin Dong was speechless for a moment.

"There's a hurdle in my heart; I can't accept that my talent is due to that vague and ethereal past life, but that's not the only problem."

Xiao Yan continued, "As the former strongest person in the Great Thousand World, the Immortal Great Emperor was also quite arrogant. Moreover, at that level... even the phantom of his past life summoned by the Reincarnation Dharma Body could retain some self-awareness. If Ye Xiu was unwilling to accept it, the Immortal Great Emperor would never force him."

"It is very likely that if the connection between the two is severed, Ye Xiu will directly lose the qualification to control the Reincarnation Dharma Body."

As for Cheng Xin, nobody cared or paid attention to her.

Mu Chen was very fast. Although he was young and the memories from his previous lives had a great impact, Mu Chen was still an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign, stronger than all his previous lives combined.

While Cheng Xin Cheng Xin her life and Ye Xiu was hesitant, Mu Chen had already made rapid progress and arrived in front of the Reincarnation Dharma Body.

With mixed feelings, Mu Chen looked at the two who had been in the lead, twisted his slightly stiff soul body, and floated towards the last statue.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

A deep yet highly penetrating sound wave resounded, and the Demonic Shadow in front of Cheng Xin instantly vanished. The Immortal Great Emperor in front of Ye Xiu also exchanged a final glance with it before disappearing as well.

Mu Chen, who was inside the statue, felt as if his Divine Soul was about to be crushed into billions of fragments, each fragment sensing a living being falling into death, entering Reincarnation, and being reborn.

During this process, Mu Chen's Divine Soul was constantly being reorganized, dying and being reborn time and time again, making his Divine Soul increasingly solid.

Without a physical body, there is naturally one less layer of protection, but this also makes the tempering effect stronger.

It is foreseeable that once Mu Chen survives, his Divine Soul will be strong enough to rank among the top five in the Great Thousand World —second only to Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Heavenly Evil God, and Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
