Within his sea of consciousness.
Though the Sixth Lifetime had remained silent all along, through the transformation of Su Yi's soul, he had inferred that Su Yi had already embarked upon that unprecedented Path to Feathered Ascension.
"Sure enough, the key to wielding the Nine Hells Sword lies in reincarnation!"
"Only thus can the Nine Hells Sword shield him from the erasing power of the Gods' Covenant."
"From this day onward, his Dao Path will be utterly different. Even if he becomes immortal, he is destined to become the unprecedented Supreme Immortal of all ages!"
The Sixth Lifetime sighed to himself.
"However, if he loses to me in this contest of states of mind, everything will be different again..."
That night, Su Yi immersed himself in comprehending the insights gained after his breakthrough realm, consolidating his cultivation.
That same night.
Deep within the Unfixed Demon Sea, Red Cloud True Being received news delivered by the Earth Dog.
"With a mortal body, he trampled an Immortal-level Departed Spirit beneath his feet?"
Red Cloud Immortal Maiden could not help but freeze.
Involuntarily, she recalled one of her clan's ancestral teachings.
That ancestral teaching was highly unusual. It had been classified as the clan's highest secret, and only direct descendants recognized by all the clan elders were permitted to learn of it.
This ancestral teaching had been passed down generation after generation. Only when it reached Red Cloud True Being did she learn that it was actually connected to reincarnation!
In the past, she had never believed that reincarnation still existed in this world.
For such taboo power had long since been erased by the Gods' Covenant. No one was allowed to reenact reincarnation.
Thus, Red Cloud True Being had never taken that ancestral teaching to heart.
Until... she encountered Su Yi!
