Deep within Sunset Forest, Homecoming Cottage.
It was late at night. Moonlight filtered through the branches of the old plum tree and spilled into the courtyard, spreading a sheet of silver-white across the ground.
Huo Chen sat cross-legged beneath the tree, his eyes slightly closed and his breathing long and steady. Within him, the power of reincarnation flowed slowly through his meridians like a silent tide, cycling endlessly, unceasingly.
But tonight, that tide was about to undergo a qualitative transformation.
His consciousness sank deep into his dantian, gazing at the Reincarnation Other Shore Flower floating at the center of the ocean of Soul Power.
Six petals, two colors—half blood-red, half black as night. It was the core crystallization of his years of cultivating the Reincarnation Dao, and also his martial soul.
At that moment, the flower trembled gently.
A faint halo emerged along the edges of its petals. It was gold at first, then gradually deepened into purple before evolving toward an even more profound hue. Finally, it settled into a noble, deep purple-gold.
That purple-gold halo slowly spread along the edges of the petals. Wherever it passed, the original crimson and pure black were gradually replaced.
The six petals changed color one after another, from their roots to their tips, as if an invisible brush were repainting them.
When the final trace of black was swallowed by purple-gold, the entire Reincarnation Other Shore Flower suddenly burst into dazzling light.
Three soul rings—the seventh, eighth, and ninth—lit up simultaneously, all transforming from their original colors into purple-gold.
It was an entirely new color, one that did not belong to any known soul ring system in this world. It carried an ancient, majestic aura, as though it had come from an era even more distant than the God Realm.
