Qin Haoran

Instead of standing in the courtyard, Li's parents led everyone to the reception room. Qin Yanyan, being the youngest among them, served tea and water to everyone.

Judging from their ages, Qin Yanyan is about the same age as Li Haoran, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou.

That's just how seniority matters.

"Li Haoran's previous life, who was also my husband, was named Qin Haoran, a cultivator at the peak of the Body Integration Realm."

Su Yiren uttered a name that no one had ever heard of.

The expressions of the people present were varied. Mr. and Mrs. Li never expected that their son had such an important background.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked like they wanted to hear some gossip, but also thought it was troublesome.

Although Qin Yanyan did not accept Li Haoran's identity, she still wanted to hear her mother talk about her father, as her mother rarely mentioned him.

Li Haoran remained expressionless; he had given up resisting and wanted to see how things would unfold.

Perhaps it was because she had kept things bottled up for too long, perhaps she was lost in memories, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but in any case, Su Yiren spoke more and more fluently as she spoke.

"My acquaintance with Qin Haoran dates back five hundred years. At that time, I lived in seclusion in the mountains, a hermit cultivator who rarely went down the mountain except to pay taxes every ten years."

"That day I was meditating in the mountains when a blood-covered figure crashed through the barrier I had set up and fell headfirst into the ground. When he saw me approaching, he instinctively tried to use his Law Power to defend himself, but his injuries were too severe, and his body was no longer able to support him in using Law Technique. He quickly fell unconscious."

"I felt so sorry for him that I took him in. He was in a coma for a month before he woke up."

"He was initially very wary when he woke up, but after learning that I had been taking care of him for a month, he relaxed his guard and thanked me for saving his life."

Su Yiren instinctively omitted some details, such as Qin Haoran's internal injuries, yet Su Yiren wrapped Qin Haoran's entire body in white cloth and put on a cast, so that when Qin Haoran first woke up, it was as if a mummy had hidden in a terracotta warrior.

For example, if it weren't for Su Yiren's care, Qin Haoran would have woken up half a month ago.

These are all insignificant details, best left unsaid.

"He said his name was Qin Haoran, an Integrated Body Realm Cultivator. A month ago, he was being chased by his enemies. Although he managed to kill them, he was also seriously injured. He also apologized for breaking the barrier I had set up earlier."

"I can tell he's telling the truth. Even if he's awake, he can only use a tiny fraction of his Law Power. His body is too badly injured; his meridians are all broken, and he's in a terrible state."

"He originally wanted to leave, but I was worried that he might encounter some unexpected trouble if he left, so I said he could stay."

"He stayed in the mountains to recuperate, and over time, we developed feelings for each other and got married."

"We had a low-key wedding, inviting only mountain spirits and a few close friends."

"After he recovered from his injuries, he was busy every day. I asked him what he was doing and if he needed my help. He said that what he was doing was dangerous and that it would be safest for me to be completely unaware of it."

"Out of trust, I didn't ask any further questions."

"Over the past five hundred years, Haoran has gradually risen from the Integrated Body Late Stage to the Integrated Body Peak Stage Realm, just one step away from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. He said that he had always been pure of heart and devoid of desires, believing that this was the best state of cultivation. But since he met me and married me, he has realized that his previous thinking was wrong."

"During the time he spent with me, his previously solid bottleneck loosened, and his cultivation level improved repeatedly."

"I asked him why my cultivation level hadn't improved, and he said it might be because I lacked talent for cultivation."

"It is extremely difficult for high-level cultivators to have offspring. We tried for five hundred years before we finally conceived Yan Yan."

"Then he said he had reached the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, only one more Heavenly Tribulation away, and he wanted to fight for a future for my daughter and me."

"The risk of Tribulation Transcendence is too high. I wanted to persuade him, but he said that his identity was too special. If he did not become Tribulation Transcendence, he would have to live in anonymity for the rest of his life, unable to see the light of day. Only by becoming Tribulation Transcendence could he change this situation."

"Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation was too terrifying. Despite his many preparations, he still couldn't withstand the final lightning strike and fell from the sky."

"I caught him while crying, and desperately stuffed all sorts of top-grade pills into his mouth. He said he knew his condition best and that there was no way he could survive."

"He told me not to worry, but he actually cultivated a Cultivation Method that allows him to reincarnate continuously, with each incarnation having a higher level of talent than the last. Qin Haoran is his eighth reincarnation."

"Originally, he wanted to tell his subordinates about his reincarnation so that they could help take care of the next life and ensure its smooth growth. Later, he felt that his subordinates could not be trusted, so he asked me to take care of his next life."

"He told me the Secret Method to find my next life, and I followed Secret Method instructions to find my aunt who was pregnant."

"My uncle and aunt were in danger, and I came to their rescue. After saving them, I got engaged to Haoran, who is in my womb, hoping to rekindle our past relationship."

Li Haoran asked doubtfully, "Didn't you suspect that this was a lie Qin Haoran made up before he died?"

Su Yiren shook her head slightly. "I also had some doubts, but your talent cannot be faked. When you were six years old, I was actually hiding in the shadows when you took your Spirit Root test. I saw with my own eyes that the test results showed that you had Fire Spirit Root."

"No matter how powerful Haoran is, he can't just randomly point out someone and conclude that they have a single Spirit Root."

"What if Qin Haoran has a way to predict other people's talents?" Li Haoran was still unwilling to give up.

Su Yiren smiled and said, "I know you don't completely believe what I'm saying yet, but time will tell. Haoran said that as his cultivation level improves in his next life, he will gain some fragments of memories from his previous life."

"However, you don't need to worry that these fragments of memory will affect your personality; you are still you."

When it came to such profound topics as reincarnation, Lu Yang sought help from an immortal who knew many secrets of High Antiquity.

"Fairy, is reincarnation really possible?"

"The concept of reincarnation existed even in times far beyond High Antiquity. Back then, there were many prodigies, and people would often say that this child had exceptional talent and might be the reincarnation of so-and-so. Some even said that the five of us could become immortals because we were also the reincarnations of so-and-so."

"After the five of us became immortals, we joined forces to deduce and understand the mysteries of the world. We know that there is no such thing as reincarnation. All the previous rumors were just people's wild imaginations."

"So Qin Haoran was really lying?" Lu Yang was surprised. He had genuinely believed that Li Haoran was Qin Haoran reincarnated.

The immortal fairy shook her head. "I only said that there was no reincarnation in High Antiquity times, not that there isn't now."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yang was even more confused.

"You must understand, the appearance of a Dao Fruit means the emergence of a new rule in the world. What if someone condensed the [Reincarnation] Dao Fruit during the time I was dead?"

"Does this mean that the concept of reincarnation becomes true?"
