You call me a poor monk, but who isn't one?

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Space.

After the Masters of the Six Paths of Reincarnation healed his battered, wound-covered body, Meng Qi sprang off the ground with a carp flip, muttering something about being a fine fellow again in eighteen seconds.

Looking around the empty Reincarnation Plaza, Meng Qi went straight to the Masters of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to have his cultivation techniques and items appraised.

Although he already knew the truth behind the cold jade Buddha statue in his hand and what the Illusory Movement Art did.

This had been Meng Qi's third Reincarnation Mission, and a solo mission at that.

"You're back rather early, little monk." A voice as melodious as an oriole rang out beside Meng Qi's ear. He watched as the injuries on that radiant figure rapidly healed.

Meng Qi lost himself for a moment. Even though he knew the future, he had ultimately only watched it as a bystander. Given everything he had actually experienced so far, he still felt a great deal of affection for Jiang Zhiwei.

But remembering the gentle rejection that came later made Meng Qi rather uncomfortable.

"Zhiwei, don't you know who I am? Little Meng, the Peerless Prodigy! A mission like this was a piece of cake!" Meng Qi shamelessly boasted. It wasn't as though bragging cost him anything.

Yeah, this is all the Great Emperor's damn fault. He's always bragging in the group, and now he's led me astray! a certain prodigy named Little Meng silently told himself.

Jiang Zhiwei smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons, and Meng Qi simply stared, spellbound.

"You're certainly confident, little monk. Too bad you're a little baldy!"

Meng Qi's face fell. He would probably have to wait until he left the Vast Sea before he could return to secular life.

"Zhiwei, did you collect martial arts manuals in the Mission World?" Meng Qi pointed at the large bundle on Jiang Zhiwei's back, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"You're quick on the uptake, little monk. Did you do the same?" Jiang Zhiwei gave Meng Qi an approving look.

Meng Qi shook his head, then shared the Illusory Movement Art and the Three Great Secret Treasures with Jiang Zhiwei.

While the two chatted, their teammates Qi Zhengyan and Zhang Yuanshan appeared in the Reincarnation Plaza, along with Fu Zhenzhen, the newcomer Zhang Yuanshan had guided.

Seeing how close Zhang Yuanshan and Fu Zhenzhen were, Meng Qi teased them at length, grinning in a thoroughly sleazy fashion.

Even after learning the future, Meng Qi remained, on the surface, the cheerful, optimistic Little Meng who laughed and joked.

They then told one another how many Good Deeds they had earned, and Meng Qi shared the Illusory Movement Art with the three late arrivals as well.

After giving everyone a copy, and before they discussed what to exchange for, Meng Qi looked expectantly at Jiang Zhiwei.

"Zhiwei, did Senior Su..."

Jiang Zhiwei instantly understood what Meng Qi meant. She patted her smooth forehead and said, "I would've forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Master agreed to exchange with you. He said everything you brought out was quite good, though it differed somewhat from orthodox cultivation methods."

"Here, these are them." As she spoke, she handed Meng Qi a small Storage Bag.

Of course martial arts deduced by a Great Emperor from Shrouding the Heavens would differ from orthodox methods.

That thought crossed Meng Qi's mind, and he said to Jiang Zhiwei, "Thank Senior Su for me."

He then exchanged all the martial arts in the Storage Bag with the Masters of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Seeing his Good Deeds instantly skyrocket, Meng Qi beamed with delight. But remembering that he was only a middleman left him a little glum!

So many Good Deeds!

Looking at the peerless divine arts on the exchange pillar of light, Meng Qi nearly drooled. This time, he was going on a proper spending spree!

He went straight to the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and exchanged for all its sections on Foundation Establishment, Qi Accumulation, Aperture Opening, and Outer Scenery.

He also exchanged for the Chaotic Heaven Treasured Mirror, which Qi Zhengyan was currently cultivating, all the way through its Outer Scenery section.

He also exchanged for the opening sections of several divine magic arts, until he had spent all the Good Deeds obtained from the manuals Jiang Zhiwei had brought.

"Look at that beaming face, little monk. You must have exchanged for quite a lot." Jiang Zhiwei looked at Meng Qi. She had roughly estimated how many Good Deeds those manuals could fetch.

"Little Meng, you shouldn't call yourself a poor monk anymore. There's nothing poor about you!" Zhang Yuanshan teased.

At the end of their previous Reincarnation Mission, Meng Qi had brought out a batch of martial arts manuals and asked Jiang Zhiwei to help arrange something with Senior Su Wuming. He had explained to the others that he had encountered a little stroke of fortune and needed a senior to exchange the manuals for different ones, which he would then exchange for Good Deeds.

None of them had pressed him about what that stroke of fortune was, or why he hadn't simply exchanged them directly for Good Deeds. Everyone had their own secrets.

"Hahahahaha! Just a little windfall, a little windfall. All I exchanged for were the first four sections of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and the Chaotic Heaven Treasured Mirror."

Meng Qi's laughter had the air of a petty man gloating over his success, but the others merely thought Little Meng was a truly entertaining monk.

At the same time, they were rather surprised. Even the newcomer Fu Zhenzhen had just seen which divine arts appeared on the very first page of the peerless divine arts list.

The complete Eight-Nine Mysterious Art cost 950,000 Good Deeds!

The complete Tathagata's Palm only cost a million. Judging by the Good Deeds alone, they could tell how powerful the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art was.

"I'm planning to switch to the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art. Like Senior Brother Qi, I'll change my foundational cultivation method early."

As for why he had also exchanged for the Chaotic Heaven Treasured Mirror when he intended to switch to the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, Meng Qi offered no explanation, and the others did not ask.

Still, they felt a little envious. This divine art cost far more Good Deeds than their own sect-founding cultivation arts. Who knew what profound mysteries it held?

They discussed things a little longer, then left the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space after exchanging for the items they needed.

It was worth mentioning that, in the original storyline, Meng Qi had yet to open any apertures at this point. Now, however, his Eye Apertures were already open.

After leaving the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space, Meng Qi calmly walked out of his room. He was already prepared to sacrifice himself—no, to be caught.

Meng Qi: @Meng Chuan, Great Emperor, your delivery has been intercepted!

Zhang Sanfeng: Is Little Meng giving up on becoming the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and switching careers to deliver parcels?

Daigu Madoka: Honestly, I think delivering parcels has better prospects than being the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. I'll probably spend my life making deliveries to different universes.

Daigu Madoka: Except what I'll be delivering is my power.

Ancient One: Mr. Daigu...

Meng Qi: Urgent, urgent, urgent! Everyone, has the Great Emperor still not shown up?

Zhang Sanfeng: No.

Ancient One: No.

Daigu Madoka: Not telling you.

Meng Qi's heart ached. They had changed, they had all changed. First Zhang Sanfeng, now Daigu. Was he the only one who remained the boy he had once been?

Meng Qi: How have you been lately, Perfected Zhang? Your hundredth birthday is coming up. Does it feel a little like seas turning to mulberry fields? @Meng Chuan

Zhang Sanfeng: No, I'm feeling livelier every day. It's as though I've become a hundred years younger. @Meng Chuan

Daigu Madoka: Amazing. Does that mean you're already like you were in your mother's womb, Perfected Zhang? Would that be called Xiantian? @Meng Chuan

Ancient One: Mr. Daigu... @Meng Chuan

Reading Daigu's words, Zhang Sanfeng felt something was off. Has he secretly taken a course in verbal sparring? How else could his skills have suddenly surpassed this old Daoist's?

Meng Qi: Why hasn't the Great Emperor shown up yet?!

Meng Qi: Great Emperor, did you forget to pay your phone bill?

Meng Qi: @Meng Chuan

Meng Qi: Great Emperor, you're about to lose your deliveryman! Aren't you going to do something?!

Meng Chuan: A great dream of ten thousand ages—what year is it now?

Meng Chuan: @Meng Qi, TD.

Fucking TD—unsubscribe?!

Meng Qi practically spat blood. The future Primordial Parcel-Delivering Heavenly Venerable.

Dead!
