Six Paths of Reincarnation
While Bai Li was comprehending the Dao, Bai Qiuran simply took Jiang Lan and wandered around this newly formed Ghost Realm a few times.
Following Xue Ling's description of the Ghost Realm, Bai Qiuran established eighteen nested spaces within this world as the prototype for the Eighteen Levels of Hell to come.
But right now it's still completely empty, there's nothing there.
Bai Qiuran intends to leave the development and planning of these Eighteen Levels of Hell to the later Ghost Immortal.
However, Bai Qiuran explained some basic ideas about the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Eighteen Levels of Hell to Jiang Lan.
When the two returned, they found that Bai Li had already comprehended the cultivation methods of the first few levels of Ghost Immortal. He was sitting on the open ground, surrounded by a group of Human Race ghosts who were listening to his teachings.
The method Bai Li described teaches ghosts how to first condense their own spiritual body. Ghosts do not have physical bodies, so they cannot absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth like normal humans, circulate it through their meridians, store it in their Qi Sea, and grow stronger step by step. Therefore, the first step in ghost cultivation is to condense a body capable of cultivation.
Bai Qiuran listened for a while, then silently deduced it in her mind and found that there was nothing wrong with this cultivation method. The only flaw was that it was just like her previous cultivation method, which was conventional, without any special features or shortcomings.
He nodded; for the very first ghosts, that was enough.
That's all for now.
Bai Li concluded his sermon and said to the ghosts, "I'll tell you the rest when I figure it out, but you can all think of things too, let's brainstorm."
Upon hearing this, the ghosts scattered and found secluded spots throughout the ghost realm to begin cultivating according to the methods taught by Bai Li, while Bai Qiuran led Jiang Lan over there.
Are you finished talking?
"Master."
Upon seeing Bai Qiuran, Bai Li immediately transformed into an obedient disciple, bowing to Bai Qiuran and asking, "Was there anything wrong with what I said?"
"No problem, you explained it very well."
Bai Qiuran and said, "What your master says may not be right. In the future, there are some things that you will have to think about and create yourself... Let's go, we still have things to do."
He led Bai Li, the Monkey, and Jiang Lan to the deepest part of the Ghost Realm. Here, the road split into six branches, each ending in a bottomless pit.
This was also an environment that he had Heavenly Dao deliberately create for him.
Look carefully.
After Bai Li and the others watched carefully, Bai Qiuran took two steps and arrived at the fork in the road, where she began to cast a spell.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation system was successfully created by him when deducing the Reincarnation Realm in the Immortals Realm. However, given Bai Qiuran's somewhat obsessive-compulsive personality, there are still many aspects of this system that can be improved.
On the stone slab that records the realms, he has already perfected many aspects of the Six Paths of Reincarnation system, but here, he only intends to establish a Six Paths of Reincarnation with basic functions.
The scale of this project was so vast that it could not be completed in a short time. The Six Paths of Reincarnation system of later generations was probably perfected step by step over countless millennia.
Furthermore, Bai Qiuran never intended to ignore the creativity of others. Over the long course of time, countless talented individuals will emerge from the Human Race, and their creativity may not be inferior to Bai Qiuran's.
Therefore, he left only the seeds here, leaving the right to cultivate them to the later ghosts.
As Bai Qiuran cast his spell, new rules arose in accordance with the system he created. The Heavenly Dao instinctively began to brew terrifying thunderclouds, which gathered above Bai Qiuran's head. The majestic power of the heavens made all the ghosts in the entire Ghost Realm feel fear and unease.
A devastating bolt of lightning struck Bai Qiuran's head, but he did not react. He simply stood there casting spells, letting the bolts of Heavenly Tribulation lightning strike his forehead.
In the Void, brand-new rules gradually took shape, turning into golden threads that outlined mysterious characters in mid-air, captivating Jiang Lan, Bai Li, and the Monkey.
A moment later, perhaps seeing Bai Qiuran's unmoved appearance, the Heavenly Dao reluctantly withdrew the Thunder Tribulation. Before the thunderclouds dissipated, Bai Qiuran, like a goose plucking feathers, reached out and grabbed a few bolts of heavenly lightning from the sky, sealing them into the small space he had casually created.
He continued to manipulate the Runes, and more and more Golden Threads appeared in the sky, gradually forming a net. One end of the net disappeared into the Void, while the other end connected to the six large pits on the ground.
After the golden light entered, the nature of these large pits gradually changed, quickly transforming them from simple natural landscapes into "passage entrances" leading to some other place.
As the golden light disappeared into the Void, Bai Qiuran's spell came to an end. At this moment, as agreed upon earlier, the Heavenly Dao also brought the rules of life, death, and lifespan of all things on Heaven and Earth into this world.
Its will connected with Bai Qiuran, telling her to find a vessel for its rules.
Bai Qiuran and immediately took out a large book with a blue cover from her Storage Bag.
The Heavenly Dao gathered its rules upon it, and soon, the lifespan, life limit, death date, and manner of death of all mortals were displayed on this great book.
Bai Qiuran opened the book and saw that the first page, under the Human Race, listed his name. It also showed that his lifespan was -2,900 years, which was the time he had lived on after he should have died of old age.
It's not surprising that the Heavenly Dao knows his lifespan. To the Heavenly Dao Will's will, the entire river of time is perhaps just a video that can be dragged. It can see the time period when Bai Qiuran be born in the future, so it's not strange to it.
Even if the Heavenly Dao observe Bai Qiuran's location, it can at least calculate his lifespan from the moment he appears as a mosaic, and then calculate his lifespan according to the standard lifespan of a Qi Refining Stage. However, it leaves the method of death blank.
It seems even Heavenly Dao doesn't know how to kill him.
"That's incredibly vengeful."
Bai Qiuran shook her head, nonchalantly turned to her own page, examined it carefully, and then closed the book.
He wrote the three characters "Book of Life and Death" in large characters on the cover, then led everyone back to the ghosts' side and gathered them all together.
"Fellow countrymen."
He announced to the assembled ghosts, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation is complete. You may choose to be reborn as humans, but there is a risk of losing your memories of this life. Does anyone wish to be reborn?"
The ghosts looked around, and then about a dozen of them came out. Although they found the feeling of freedom after becoming ghosts quite nice, they were ultimately without physical bodies, and many things that could only be enjoyed with a physical body, such as eating and drinking, were no longer available to them.
Bai Qiuran had the dozens of ghosts who had decided to pass away stand aside, and then gathered the remaining ghosts together.
"Now that we've decided to stay here, it's time for everyone to manage this world from now on."
Bai Qiuran said to them, "This world, as you can see, is the world where all the dead in the Heaven and Earth stay before they are reborn. If you want to stay here, you must take on the responsibility of managing the cycle of Reincarnation. Now I will tell you some basic things."
He briefly explained some issues regarding the management of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld Ghost Realm, then handed a pre-prepared management manual to the group of ghosts, who would temporarily be managed by Bai Li's wife.
Then, following the standard configuration of the Underworld Emissary messengers Xue Ling had used, he crafted a batch of standard Magic Treasure for these ghosts.
Soul-Seizing Token of his Underworld Emissary -term dealings with the Ghost Realm Soul-Hooking Rope, he actually understands the characteristics of their Magic Treasure better than many of Underworld Emissary.
After all, Bai Qiuran was a man who had once withstood attacks from these Magic Treasure with his own body and Souls.
After the crafting was completed, Bai Qiuran handed over these Magic Treasure, along with the Book of Life and Death, to the original ghosts, entrusting them with the management and protection of this newly formed Reincarnation system.
