Reincarnation, Birth in the Northern Profound Domain

Ning Qi felt a sense of relief.

More than a decade has passed since the last time they went into seclusion. The Black Demon Sect's protective array is even more robust than expected. Fortunately, it has finally been opened.

"Judging from this situation, quite a few cultivators have rushed in. It's highly likely that some sects have discovered something amiss and are attacking the Black Demon Sect."

He smiled slightly.

With his current strength, he naturally couldn't clearly see what was happening within the Black Demon Sect from across the two realms, but he could sense it through the power imprint he had left behind.

now.

One by one, the dormant power imprints were activated and silently merged into the cultivator's body.

This was specially condensed by Ning Qi. This mark doesn't have much function; its purpose is to provide Ning Qi Ning Qi a location. It was inspired by the dandelion and can only be effective when attached to a cultivator's body.

Ning Qi could now clearly sense that there was a faint force guiding him from the distant Mountain and Sea Realm.

"In this way, we won't lose our way when using the reincarnation method, and we can finally head to the Realm of Mountains and Seas!"

Ning Qi was delighted.

Everything was ready except for the east wind, and now, the east wind has arrived.

He patiently waited for the seed to sprout, while simultaneously selecting suitable candidates from the True Martial. Those who were to be reincarnated for the first time to the Mountain and Sea Realm must be individuals with exceptional talent and ability, and their cultivation level must be at least above the Law Power Realm; otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the reincarnation method.

In the past, this requirement would have been very difficult; even a full count of the True Martial would likely have struggled to gather a hundred people.

But now.

Even if it's ten thousand people, we can afford it.

"Let's set the initial quota at 10,000 for now, and we can increase the number based on the results." Ning Qi made up his mind and stepped out of his inner world. He now possessed 100,000 Mountain and Sea Realm Marks, so he didn't need to worry about that for the time being.

The Dark Lord.

The earth-shattering battle has come to an end.

The already desolate Black Demon Mountain was further riddled with holes. It was blasted down by a powerful force, leaving broken mountain ranges everywhere. As for the treasure lands that originally belonged to the Black Demon Sect, they were all dug up, and everything that could be taken away was taken.

This battle.

Nearly half of the cultivators were killed or wounded, including several Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord. With the Black Demon Sect's enormous profits at stake, many cultivators were blinded by rage.

This is the world of cultivators.

Cultivators have long lifespans, and if there were no fighting, even the Spirit Realm would become increasingly crowded until the Spiritual Qi was depleted and declined. Therefore, such battles are sometimes intentionally tolerated, and very few cultivators can live to a ripe old age and die peacefully. The vast majority die in battles.

But the Black Demon Sect did not fall silent.

Not long after.

Then, Rogue Cultivator of rogue cultivators arrived like locusts. They were wary of each other and rummaged through the ruins. If they occasionally found a fragment of a pill or a broken Law Artifact, they would be overjoyed. Of course, fighting was inevitable.

"Damn the Demon-Slaying Alliance! They looted everything so thoroughly, not a single hair left!" a skinny, weasel-faced cultivator cursed inwardly. "What righteous path and demonic path? It's all bullshit! It's all about who has the bigger fist. Even the so-called righteous path is incredibly greedy!"

As Hou Yuan rummaged through the ruins, he remained cautiously alert to his surroundings. Occasionally, he would find something of value, which would have made other Rogue Cultivator ecstatic, but he showed no change in expression.

He was not a true Rogue Cultivator, but True Disciple of the Black Demon Sect.

Decades ago, when the Black Demon Sect sealed off its mountain, he hid himself away cautiously and never showed up. Sure enough, his suspicions were proven correct. Other Black Demon Sect elites who had not hidden themselves were all found out and met a tragic end.

He, on the other hand, has lived to this day.

But after hearing about the situation of the Black Demon Sect, he couldn't sit still any longer.

It wasn't because Hou Yuan had any special feelings for the Black Demon Sect, nor because he wanted to know if his elder father had perished; it was simply because he knew some of the Black Demon Sect's secrets.

It would be an absolute injustice if we didn't come.

However, he was very careful and waited until batches of Rogue Cultivator arrived before quietly concealing his cultivation level and sneaking over.

"If I remember correctly, my father once told me that it was right here."

Before the ruins of Black Demon Cliff, seeing that no one was paying attention, he released his Law Power and burrowed into the ground.

A moment later.

With a soft thud, Hou Yuan was as if he had been squeezed out by some powerful external force, and he was forced to retreat. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked down. When he saw that the pearl in his arms, which was emitting a faint white light, was intact, he couldn't help but grin and then burst into silent laughter.

"The coordinates of world number 1673 have indeed not been discovered!"

This is a container specifically designed to hold world coordinates, and it is also the purpose of his trip.

Hou Yuan knew that he could not possibly touch the treasures that the Black Demon Sect displayed openly. Those powerful figures in the sect would leave him nothing, not even a blade of grass. However, the world coordinates were stored separately, and without a special Secret Method to activate them, they could not be found at all.

"The entire cultivation Immortal Realm of Lower Northern Xuan is now spreading rumors that the Black Demon Sect was wiped out by a peak-level powerhouse. What a joke! Do you think a powerhouse has that much free time? Besides, the sect is clearly preparing for an expedition to World Jiazi 1673."

"This unexpected turn of events can only be related to this!"

"The once-powerful Golden Spirit Sect declined rapidly after conquering World 1673, and now the Black Demon Sect has completely disappeared. There must be a reason for this."

Hou Yuan pondered carefully, then stuffed the pearl into his robes, his eyes filled with greed and fervor:

"This is the foundation for my enlightenment. If I can understand its origin, I might not only reach the Primordial Spirit Realm, but even a Great Power Realm!"

He composed himself and quietly withdrew, his face filled with frustration and anger at having gained nothing. Most Rogue Cultivator were like him, so he wouldn't arouse suspicion.

But they had only traveled a thousand miles outside the Black Demon Sect.

Hou Yuan froze on the spot as a powerful Primordial Spirit force locked onto him. He turned his head with difficulty and saw a smiling, white-bearded old man calmly watching him, his eyes filled with a hint of smugness.

"Li... Li True Lord!" Hou Yuan stammered.

Li Linghe stroked his beard and said:

"It wasn't in vain that I, the True Lord, staked out this place. The traces within the Black Demon Sect weren't from some powerful massacre, but rather from a blood sacrifice array actively deployed by the Black True Lord himself, with the aim of conquering that small world. Am I right, True Lord?"

He was an expert in Formation. After infiltrating the Black Demon Sect that day, he discovered something amiss, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he confirmed the claim that a powerful figure had wiped out the Black Demon Sect, and then used the battle between cultivators to erase all traces.

After that, he quietly waited there.

While secretly searching, he also observed the many Rogue Cultivator, hoping to find the coordinates of that world through their help.

now.

Heaven rewards those who persevere; their efforts have finally paid off.

"However, I never expected that it wouldn't be some lucky rogue True Lord Rogue Cultivator discovered it, but you, the orphan of the Black Demon Sect."

Hou Yuanfu was deeply moved, knelt down and bowed, shouting:

"The True Lord is truly a prophet!"

"This precious pearl contains the coordinates of world number 1673 of the Jiazi calendar. Today, Hou Yuan presents this treasure to the True Lord. I hope the True Lord will accept it with pleasure. Back in the Black Demon Sect, I often heard that old Black Demon talk about the True Lord's mastery of formations. But seeing it today, I realize how shallow that old devil's knowledge is. How could he possibly dare to comment on someone like the True Lord?"

"Having witnessed the True Lord's magnificence, Hou Yuan is utterly captivated and desires nothing more than to serve the True Lord faithfully from this day forward. I humbly beg the True Lord's mercy!"

He wept uncontrollably and presented the treasure.

Li Linghe chuckled as he looked at the cunning and treacherous Hou Yuan. He knew perfectly well Hou Yuan's little schemes; it was all about survival. But he had no intention of killing Hou Yuan. He casually cast a Restriction into Hou Yuan's mind and laughed:

"Very well, seeing how clever you are, you shall become my sixteenth disciple from now on."

Hou Yuan was overjoyed:

"Disciple greets Master!"

He carefully got up and asked:

"When does Master intend to conquer World 1673? This disciple suspects that this world holds a great secret, having caused the Golden Spirit Sect and the Black Demon Sect to suffer defeats one after another. It is no ordinary place. If Master can obtain its secret, he will surely become a powerful patriarch in the future!"

Li Linghe glanced at him with a half-smile:

"What's the rush? There's a lot of turmoil right now. Let's wait until the storm passes before we start studying it. Those who achieve great things must be patient. What's a few hundred years?"

Hou Yuan quickly lowered his head.

He felt utterly dejected. No matter how cautious Li Linghe was, he wouldn't give him any opportunities. He feared he would be controlled by someone for the rest of his life.

Li Linghe laughed loudly:

"My good disciple, come back to the Heavenly Gang Sect with me!"

The two departed into the air, unaware that a mark was faintly shimmering deep within Hou Yuan's body.

The True Martial.

Ning Qi looked at the ten thousand cultivators in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. Among them were many familiar faces, all of whom were powerful figures who had participated in the great battle against Black Demon Mountain. Almost all of the ancient saints had come, as well as many disciples of the True Martial Sect, including Daoist Longshan and Ye Qinghe. Only Luo Wentian did not come; he volunteered to stay at the True Martial Sect to prevent any trouble from arising.

These people were all carefully selected by Ning Qi and came voluntarily.

"Are you already aware of the purpose of this trip?" Ning Qi asked calmly.

Everyone replied respectfully:

"We understand now, please enlighten us, Lord!"

They were incredibly excited. Reincarnating into the Mountain and Sea Realm was such a unique experience, and if they could achieve great merit, they would reap immeasurable benefits.

Ning Qi nodded slowly.

"In that case, let us enter the True Martial Tree."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat down cross-legged without hesitation.

In an instant.

One by one, the power of the realm condensed, wrapping them into cocoons of light, which then solidified into the invisible Enlightenment Realm Tree. The cocoons of light then flew into the Realm Tree and hung among the branches and leaves, looking like real fruit from afar.

Ning Qi's authoritative voice resonated in everyone's minds:

"Remember this: this journey into the Mountain and Sea Realm is a split-soul trip. If you are to perish, although you will suffer some damage, the Enlightenment Tree will replenish your Origin, so there is no need to worry. However, you will not be able to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm for a short period of time."

"Furthermore, whatever cultivation level your reincarnated bodies reached in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Realm Tree will correspondingly infuse your original bodies with that same cultivation level."

"The purpose of this journey is to strengthen ourselves at all costs, and at the same time, to seize everything related to the Origin the rules for our True Martial. You will be illuminated by the light of the Enlightenment Tree, and your comprehension will be greatly enhanced."

"Be careful what you say and do. Remember, Non-Self contact you first, you must not reveal anything about the True Martial to outsiders; otherwise, you will be punished with the annihilation of your soul."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines:

We will remember this!

They were already aware of the advantages and disadvantages of reincarnating in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and their choice to come here indicated that they were well-prepared.

Ning Qi waved his hand gently, and the Enlightenment Tree emitted a faint light, echoing the remaining marks of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Soul Splitting!"

The cultivators felt a tearing sensation, and then their consciousness underwent a strange change. Part of their consciousness remained on the Enlightenment Tree, while the other part continued to rise, with the rising part containing imprints of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"This reincarnation always begins as an infant; remember this."

Anticipation rose in everyone's hearts.

This was destined to be a wondrous journey, and they were filled with awe for Ning Qi, for such power was truly incredible.

Clusters of light rose into the sky, a special passage was constructed, and then, following the connection between the True Martial and the Mountain and Sea Realm, they instantly entered the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Wow!

Ten thousand beams of light scattered outwards, spreading across hundreds of Immortal Domain within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

To accurately place a child in a specific region would require too much effort and is unnecessary. Now that the layout of the Mountain and Sea Realm is in place, it is natural to spread it all over the place. As for the Northern Profound Domain, there are still some loose ends left, and Ning Qi plans to go there personally.

Watching all the reincarnated souls of the cultivators fall into the Mountain and Sea Realm, Ning Qi let out a soft breath.

He spent a great deal of effort on this method of reincarnation, drawing on the methods of reincarnation of Martial Saint, combining the power of the Enlightenment Tree, and some of the wonders of the Sky-Piercing Mirror. In the end, he succeeded by connecting the True Martial and the Mountain and Sea Realm through their natural superior-subordinate world connection.

The reason for choosing to start the beings of the True Martial Realm from infancy is to avoid being antagonized by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm as much as possible. After all, everyone is just wearing a disguise and is not a true being of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

With more experience in the future, we can gradually help reincarnated True Martial cultivators retain as much of their cultivation as possible.

After carefully sensing and confirming that there were no problems, Ning Qi slowly smiled:

"From now on, I can only rely on myself. With the wisdom and cultivation experience of living a second life, as well as the enlightenment boost from the Enlightenment Tree, unless I have really bad luck at the beginning, I will eventually be able to make it."

"I wonder what it will be like when we meet again in the realm of mountains and seas?"

He found it quite amusing.

Meeting again in another world is a special experience. Before this trip, he had jokingly made a promise with Ye Qinghe, Zhuang Chen and others to see who would achieve greater success in the Mountain and Sea Realm when they met again.

Ning Qi was naturally absolutely confident about this.

No matter how much others can borrow the power of the Enlightenment Tree, it's just a watered-down version, while Ning Qi is the complete original.

Needless to say, he has achieved the cultivation system of a realm lord, which is a clear case of overwhelming force.

With a slight smile, he cast aside his distracting thoughts.

As Ning Qi sat cross-legged in his inner world, the power of the boundary gathered and enveloped him. The next moment, light burst forth, and a fragment of his soul rose from the ground just like the others before him. However, Ning Qi was much more relaxed, as his physical body, which was originally in the mortal realm, was also a fragment of his soul, so this was a piece of cake for him.

The divided soul quickly reached the boundary between mountains and seas, like water entering the ocean, and instantly vanished without a trace.

The power imprint of the Northern Profound Domain guided Ning Qi, causing him to rapidly descend in that direction.

A force of heaven and earth descended, and Ning Qi's consciousness gradually blurred.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself to be a newborn baby.

A faint smile rose in his heart:

"Mountain and Sea Realm, Northern Xuan Domain, I, Ning Qi, have arrived!"
