Immortal Emperor Shuhua's Strange Reincarnation
On the banks of the Styx in the Ghost Realm, the Immortal Realm Void Airship, after notifying the Ghost Realm and receiving permission, landed at the port of the Styx.
Bai Qiuran and her group disembarked from the flying boat, where Xue Ling was waiting with a group of Underworld Emissary.
Upon seeing Bai Qiuran approaching, Xue Ling first respectfully bowed to Jiang Lan, saying, "Your Imperial Consort!"
Then he raised his head, his face a mixture of indifference, disgust, and impatience, Bai Qiuran, "Sinners!"
"Holy crap."
Bai Qiuran smacked her lips.
"In front of Immortals, can't you spare some face for your highest leader?"
"Our supreme leader in the Underworld Ghost Realm is His Ghost Emperor, not a fugitive who has been on the run for many years."
Xue Ling cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the heavens and said, "Since you're going to put on an act, then please go all the way, understand?"
"So many varieties!"
Bai Qiuran glanced at him, took out a Bronze Mask from his pocket and put it on. Then he turned around on the spot and transformed into the Ghost Emperor, wearing a black cloak and a black robe with gold trim.
Xue Ling immediately became solemn and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Lou Yueming pointed directly at Xue Ling and said, "You're the kind of person Shuhua was talking about [being a remarkable person], aren't you?"
Xue Ling saw Lou Yueming, paused for a moment, and then hesitated before asking, "Your Majesty, could this be... the new Imperial Consort?"
"It's not wrong to call her Imperial Consort, but she's not Imperial Consort from the Ghost Realm."
Bai Qiuran shook her head.
Have you ever heard of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua?
I've seen this name in the Ghost Realm's Records before.
Xue Ling nodded and said, "It is said that he was one of the heroes of the era before the Four Immortal Emperors, and the eldest disciple of His Majesty the First Immortal Emperor. Some people even compare him to the Immortal Ancestor, but I think that might be an overestimation."
"But it wasn't overestimated."
Bai Qiuran shook his head, looked at the somewhat dim and gloomy sky of the Ghost Realm, and, thinking of the Runes System and spells created by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua, said, "The Immortal Emperor Shuhua was a hero."
Xue Ling was slightly taken aback and looked at the Ghost Emperor.
Then he turned to face Lou Yueming and bowed respectfully to her.
"Greetings, Your Imperial Consort."
Lou Yueming was taken aback for a moment, then followed his example and bowed to him.
"Greetings,... Wonderful One?"
Xue Ling was startled and quickly dodged away. Bai Qiuran said to her Disciple's Grand-disciple- daughter-in-law, half-laughing and half-crying, "You don't need to return his greeting so formally. A nod is enough."
"Oh."
Lou Yueming nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Once she lowered her guard, the Consciousness Demon girl acted incredibly naive and innocent. Bai Qiuran sometimes wondered if this was the type of girl his Disciple's Grand-disciple liked.
While urging Bai Qiuran and the others to head towards Fengdu, Xue Ling asked, "What important matter does His Ghost Emperor wish to instruct us upon his return?"
"Two things. First, have the Three Venerables establish an engineering force to connect the Life and Death Reincarnation in the Ghost Realm to the other side of the Consciousness Barrier. This matter needs to be accomplished quickly."
Bai Qiuran held up two fingers and then bent one.
"Secondly, go to the Yanluo Hall. I, the Emperor, will personally Judgment the past deeds of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua and send him into Reincarnation."
"Yes."
Xue Ling immediately accepted the order and went down to the Ghost Emperor Hall. Bai Qiuran went to the Ghost Emperor's Palace, drafted a formal document on opening up the Consciousness Barrier and the Life and Death Reincarnation and death on the other side, stamped it with the seal, and then went to the Yanluo Hall.
Upon arriving at the Yanluo Hall, the Ten Courts of Yanluo were already waiting. Ghost Emperor and Imperial Consort arrive, they immediately announced the start of the court proceedings.
Bai Qiuran released the Souls of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua and then personally presided over the Judgment. Because his mind was severely damaged, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua did not react at all during the entire process and remained in a slumber.
However, this is not a major problem. If the questions asked during the process cannot be answered by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua, it means that he agrees.
When Bai Qiuran and the Ten Courts of Yanluo Hell interrogated the Immortal Emperor Shuhua about his merits and sins in this life through Magical Artifact in the Yanluo Hall, they also saw that the merits of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua clearly outweighed his sins.
Therefore, in Bai Qiuran's final Judgment, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua Reincarnation into the Celestial Path of the Three Good Paths, and was reborn as Celestial Beings, enjoying blessings for ten thousand years.
If possible, Bai Qiuran would like to directly Judgment and Reincarnation the Immortal Emperor Shuhua, allowing him to be reborn as a human. However, all of this must be done according to the established procedures, and the Immortal Emperor Shuhua's thinking ability will require several Reincarnation to be fully awakened.
Thus, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua was escorted away and Reincarnation into the Celestial Path of Renli Heaven in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, becoming a new Celestial Beings. The Celestial Beings he was reborn into had a face like jade and was extremely handsome, but this Celestial Beings was born mentally challenged and could only stare blankly all day long. He could not speak or express himself and never ate.
Fortunately, the Celestial Beings were pure of heart and had few evil thoughts. As Celestial Beings, they did not need to eat to survive, which is why Immortal Emperor Shuhua did not die young or was directly abandoned by the Celestial Beings.
Bai Qiuran accelerated the timeline of the Celestial Path. In this life, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua lived for a total of one thousand years. Finally, the signs of the Five Signs of Decay of Celestial Beings and Humanity appeared, and he fell into Reincarnation, returning to the Ghost Realm once again.
When he returned to the Ghost Realm, the Ghost Emperor Bai Qiuran personally examined the condition of his Souls and found that the mind of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua had become somewhat loose.
So he was Judgment again by the Yanluo Hall. This time, because he had accomplished nothing in his life, neither merit nor demerit, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua was sentenced to be reincarnated as a human.
The second Immortal Emperor Shuhua was born mentally challenged and abandoned by his parents. He soon starved to death in the Wilderness, dying at the age of four or five.
He was then sent back into the Reincarnation, still within the Reincarnation Human Path.
Then came the third, the fourth...
In each of her incarnations, the once powerful and influential Immortal Emperor Shuhua was a mentally challenged person who lived a very miserable life. Lou Yueming felt very sorry for him, and even Jiang Lan Bai Qiuran remained calm.
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, and empty their mind and body so that they will not be disordered in their actions. This is so that they may be moved to patience and perseverance, and thus increase their abilities.
Just as the phoenix is reborn from the ashes, the Immortal Emperor Shuhua desires rebirth. These hardships are necessary, and as his grandmaster, Bai Qiuran believes he can endure them.
However, the situation was not entirely hopeless. With Reincarnation, the thinking ability of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua was slowly recovering. In the fourth reincarnation, he had already developed Consciousness of survival. In the sixth reincarnation, he had learned to protect himself. In the eighth reincarnation, he gained the ability to speak. Finally, after the eleventh Reincarnation ended, the thinking ability of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua was fully awakened.
At Bai Li's request, Bai Qiuran sent the Immortal Emperor Shuhua to the experimental small world where he was now, so that he could be reborn as a human.
Five years later, in a remote mountain valley of the Great Xia Kingdom, in a dilapidated temple, a little boy wrapped in a tattered straw mat shivered in the cold, snow-covered weather outside the temple.
His lips turned purple, his Consciousness became hazy, his body gradually stiffened, and his body temperature gradually decreased.
After the Great Xia Kingdom adopted the lineage of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable, its national strength grew stronger day by day. However, human nature has a dark side after all. The little boy's parents were clearly irresponsible people. From the time he could remember, he had been mingling among Beggar and vagrants, living by begging.
Just when the little boy thought his Fate about to end, a rosy glow suddenly appeared in the sky.
A handsome young man, about twenty years old, with a face as beautiful as jade, descended from the sky into this dilapidated temple, instantly making the temple shine, as if it had been reborn.
The little boy barely opened his eyes, looking at the deity, but he didn't have the strength to utter a single word.
