Simply Awakening a Reincarnation Seal

Great Thousand World, Tianxuan Continent, Great Yan Dynasty, Tiandu County.

Mu Family Village was situated in a remote corner of Tiandu County. The most prosperous town within a hundred li was Qingyang Town.

In such a remote place, resources were scarce, and so there were not many experts. True experts regarded it as a poor backwater and were utterly unwilling to set foot there.

Although everything within a ten-li radius fell under Mu Family Village's sphere of influence, the strongest person in the village was only at the initial stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

"Is this starting point even lower than Lin Dong's?"

A young girl sighed.

She was about thirteen years old, with fair skin. Though still quite young, she was already beginning to grow into a graceful beauty.

The most eye-catching thing about the girl was her eyes. They were clear, bright, and exceptionally lively. As her gaze shifted, there was an astonishing sense of insight within them, as if all things in heaven and earth had been taken into her sight.

They were a pair of wise eyes.

This change in the girl had begun three days ago. For these three days, she had shut herself in her room to merge her memories, paying attention to nothing else. Now, she had finally finished.

She had transmigrated. More precisely, it was not ordinary transmigration. She should have awakened the memories of her previous life.

Her gaze shifted, and the girl focused her mind. A rune seal appeared on her forehead. The seal was incomparably profound; if someone stared at it, they would feel dizzy and dazed.

After the rune seal appeared, the girl's expression became somewhat indifferent. Those bright eyes seemed to contain not the slightest emotion, making one feel a chill.

She relaxed her mind and controlled the rune seal to fade away, and the girl regained her liveliness. Sensing the information in her mind, she sighed, her expression somewhat complicated.

"This might be... a Reincarnation Seal!"

The Reincarnation Seal, on Tianxuan Continent, existed almost only in legends. If super experts at the Reincarnation Stage were gravely injured and near death, or if they failed while undergoing Reincarnation Tribulation, some with extraordinary abilities could use divine abilities to preserve a trace of spirituality, then reincarnate and enter the cycle of rebirth, waiting for an opportunity to arrive, activate that spirituality, and undergo nirvana once more between heaven and earth.

And after these Reincarnators awakened the memories of their previous lives, they would possess a Reincarnation Seal. Thus, the Reincarnation Seal was almost synonymous with Reincarnation Stage experts.

But the girl knew that in her previous life, she had not been some Reincarnation Stage expert, only an ordinary person from Blue Star.

Although she was puzzled as to why she had a Reincarnation Seal, this was not a question she could figure out for the time being. Since thinking too much about it was useless, the girl accepted the fact.

"Heh, since transmigrators on Douqi Continent can stack soul strength... then awakening a Reincarnation Seal on Tianxuan Continent is reasonable too, right?" the girl thought, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.

Since she had awakened the memories of her previous life, there was no such thing as body snatching, nor was there an original body. They were all the same person. The original work's Lord of Ice had been like this.

"Only today do I know that I am me. I am Mu Zi of Mu Family Village!"

When Mu Zi was very young, her parents had been killed in an attack by Demon Beasts while out on a trip. After learning of this, her parents' clan cousin, Mu Yun, had adopted her.

Mu Yun had lost his wife in his early years, and had only one daughter, named Mu Lingsha.

Although he raised two girls alone, it did not place any burden on Mu Yun. As one of the only three Earth Yuan Realm Late Stage experts in Mu Family Village, Mu Yun still had quite a bit of say. Therefore, while Mu Zi's life could not be called one of brocade clothes and jade meals, it could still be considered well-off.

Perhaps out of consideration for his deceased clan younger brother and sister-in-law, Mu Yun treated Mu Zi as his own, and most of the time, he was even stricter with Mu Lingsha instead. In Mu Zi's heart, she had long since regarded Mu Yun's family as her relatives.

Speaking of her older female cousin Mu Lingsha, Mu Zi had some impression of her from her previous life. In the original work, she had participated in Lin Dong's Hunting Competition, and had even cooperated with Lin Dong and Wu Yun of Mad Blade Martial Hall to snatch three Fire Python Tiger cubs.

"Older Sister has already reached the eighth level of Body Tempering. She set out this morning to participate in the hunt. Looks like the plot has already started for almost a year," Mu Zi thought inwardly.

From the time Lin Dong obtained the stone talisman to the Hunting Competition, a total of ten months had passed. In only ten months, Lin Dong had cultivated from Body Tempering Third Stage to the Earth Yuan Realm. That speed could hardly be called slow.

Of course, with the Ancestral Stone, Tianxuan Continent's number one artificial divine object, it was only normal for Lin Dong to have this kind of cultivation speed. Even though the Ancestral Stone had not awakened, it could still bring great help to cultivation.

Stealing Lin Dong's Ancestral Stone. That idea was not within Mu Zi's considerations.

Putting aside whether she had the strength to do it, even if she could, it would not do. Lin Dong obtaining the Ancestral Stone was not a coincidence, but because the Symbol Ancestor had chosen Lin Dong.

To be precise, the Symbol Ancestor probably did not have the ability to choose someone of Later Generations across eternity. Combining this with the original work she had read in her previous life, Mu Zi speculated: the one who had truly chosen Lin Dong should be the plane's will.

In all of Tianxuan Continent, there had never before been anyone with the so-called "Ancestral Symbol affinity physique." Not even local supreme experts like the Ancient Eight Lords could do it. Moreover, the Ancestral Symbols were not ordinary divine objects of heaven and earth, but divine objects nurtured by the plane itself in the face of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan's invasion, born for self-protection.

For Lin Dong to have affinity with the eight great Ancestral Symbols, divine objects specially made against Yimo, naturally could not be a coincidence. It could only be the choice of the plane's will.

In other words, Lin Dong was the one destined to face the tribulation.

The Symbol Ancestor might have simply gone with the flow and used the Ancestral Stone to assist the one destined to face the tribulation. So the Ancestral Stone appearing in Qingyang Town might not have been a coincidence.

If this speculation was the truth, then even if someone else obtained the Ancestral Stone, they would probably only receive limited help. The Ancestral Stone also would not actively assist that person the way it helped Lin Dong in the original work.

Little Marten from the original work was one such example. He could only become a user of the Ancestral Stone, not its controller. He did not gain much benefit, and instead invited a fatal disaster.

And even without the stone talisman, Lin Dong was still favored by the plane's will, worthy of being called a true "Child of the Plane." Making an enemy of him was not a wise choice. Moreover, Mu Zi, who had read the original work, also admired Lin Dong's character and did not want to commit such an act of plundering.

The reason Mu Zi could be so "willful" was also because she had something to rely on, namely that Reincarnation Seal.

Perhaps because Mu Zi had not truly been a Reincarnation Stage expert in her previous life, this Reincarnation Seal was somewhat special. It could not bring direct power, and instead only had some support functions.

Taking a bundle out from under the bed, Mu Zi opened it. What entered her sight were five small snow-white fruits, only the size of a thumb. A faint fragrance wafted over, and Mu Zi's small nose sniffed as she revealed a satisfied look.

This was a grade-one spiritual herb, Snow Fruit. Hearing that Mu Zi had begun cultivating, Mu Yun had prepared it for her. He had spent no small number of Contribution Points to exchange for it from the village.

Mu Family Village was even weaker than the Lin Family of Qingyang Town, and its resources were very limited. This kind of spiritual herb that could assist cultivation was extremely precious. If Mu Yun were not a core member of Mu Family Village, he would not even have the qualifications to exchange for it.

Mu Zi knew this as well, and felt somewhat moved inside.

She had been reluctant to eat these Snow Fruits before. Now that, in one way or another, she was a Reincarnator, Mu Zi decided to treat herself a little better.

After adjusting her mood, Mu Zi took out one Snow Fruit and carefully put the rest away. After meticulously washing this Snow Fruit clean with clear water, she opened her small mouth and was just about to bite down when her expression suddenly stirred, thoughtful.

"Hey, hey, Reincarnation Seal, do you eat?" As she spoke, she pressed the Snow Fruit against the spot between her brows.

Suddenly, an almost imperceptible fluctuation appeared, and the Snow Fruit had already disappeared into the girl's fair forehead.

"Uh, you really do eat? You really don't know how to be polite." Although Mu Zi was somewhat astonished, this was still within reason.

A fluctuation came from the Reincarnation Seal, and strands of energy surged into Mu Zi's body. Mu Zi's little face immediately flushed somewhat. With no time to keep complaining, she immediately sank her mind.

This energy was extremely pure, as if all the impurities within had been completely removed. When Mu Zi absorbed it, there was almost not the slightest waste. This kind of efficiency was much higher than directly consuming the spiritual herb.

In less than ten minutes, that energy stopped surging out, and Mu Zi ended her cultivation.

After observing herself, her skin had clearly become a few degrees more resilient. Mu Zi was somewhat surprised. This was a sign that she was about to enter the fourth level of Body Tempering. One had to know, she had only just broken through to Body Tempering Third Stage a few days ago. This cultivation speed could be said to be not slow at all.

A satisfied smile bloomed on Mu Zi's face, but before she could be happy for long, her smile suddenly vanished. In its place were furrowed delicate brows. That speed of changing expressions was truly enough to make one marvel.

"The cultivation speed is pretty fast, but my skin has become hard." As it turned out, the girl was dissatisfied with the changes in her body after cultivating.

"Forget it. Once I reach the sixth level of Body Tempering and my body produces Yuan Power, it'll recover." After being gloomy for a while, Mu Zi threw this matter to the back of her mind and began summarizing the effects of this cultivation session.

"If I cultivate like this a few more times, I'll be able to break through to the fourth level of Body Tempering. This speed really isn't slow. It's just that during the Body Tempering stage, the body has limits. I should still advance step by step and give my body a process to adapt. From now on, taking a spiritual herb once every two days will be enough."

After finishing her summary, Mu Zi began to comprehend the other functions of the Reincarnation Seal.

After awakening the Reincarnation Seal, Mu Zi felt that her thinking had become much more flexible. This meant that her comprehension had improved. And when she activated the Reincarnation Seal, this comprehension could be further improved. However, this was temporary; once she stopped urging the Reincarnation Seal, it would return to normal.

Activating the Reincarnation Seal seemed to require a certain price. Each time it was activated, it consumed the energy accumulated within the Reincarnation Seal, and as her cultivation increased, the energy consumption would also increase accordingly.

However, Mu Zi had only just begun cultivating. Right now, she was only at Body Tempering Third Stage, and no Yuan Power seed had yet been born within her body, so she could not directly absorb Yuan Qi from heaven and earth. Therefore, the energy in the Reincarnation Seal could only be restored with spiritual herbs. After using one grade-one spiritual herb just now, Mu Zi felt that the energy in the Reincarnation Seal seemed to have increased somewhat.

"It can only restore energy by eating spiritual herbs? Isn't that way too extravagant? Looks like before breaking through to the seventh level of Body Tempering, I'd better try to use the Reincarnation Seal to improve comprehension as little as possible."

Thinking of this, Mu Zi felt a little regretful.

Fortunately, Mu Zi vaguely sensed that even if she did not use the Reincarnation Seal, her comprehension was already quite high. But exactly what level it was at, Mu Zi still could not accurately judge.

"Older Sister promised me that once I broke through to Body Tempering Third Stage, she would teach me martial arts. Maybe I can use this chance to judge it."

At the thought of martial arts, waves of anticipation surged into Mu Zi's heart. That was martial arts, extraordinary power with all kinds of mysteries. Who could not look forward to it? Having come to Tianxuan Continent, she also wanted to take a look at the scenery at the peak of the martial path.

"Although Lin Dong was respectfully called Martial Ancestor in the original work, he seemed to use martial arts created by others most of the time. Heh, the title of Martial Ancestor doesn't seem quite appropriate."

Thinking of this, Mu Zi's lively eyes shone. With a wicked smile, she thought inwardly, Lin Dong, the title of Martial Ancestor is too deep for you to handle. Better let me do it.
