Emperor Venerable's Arrangements, Reviving Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, and Attaining the Dao through Reincarnation

"But from the looks of it now, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao never won his way back to life!" Qin Tian sighed. The path of a Red Dust Immortal defied heaven and was incomparably difficult. Even a Heavenly Emperor would not dare claim that he could certainly walk it to the end.

Nine lifetimes of transformation, one change in each lifetime, one passage through life and death.

Every transformation was a struggle between life and death, a sublimation of one's Dao methods, shedding the Former Body to live another life anew.

This was destined to be extraordinarily difficult. Not everyone could transform as cleanly and decisively as Ye Fan, with a lifetime passing between sitting down and standing up.

More were like the Undying Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, whose transformation through a single lifetime could take hundreds of thousands of years, with even the possibility of failure.

"Hmm, let's work together to set up a reincarnation array formation!"

"Let's see whether we can reconstruct Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's soul spirit." Qin Tian was eager to try. This was a challenge, a subject of study, an inconceivable undertaking.

But once accomplished, its rewards would certainly be considerable.

It would amount to a small-scale act of "attaining the Dao," much like the Little Six Paths of Reincarnation Forbidden Zone. This was a different method of attaining the Dao, and the fruit attained would also differ.

Yet all were fruits of the reincarnation Great Dao. Like blind men feeling an elephant, this was that process of feeling.

What was the Dao?

The ancients said: the Dao that could be spoken was not the constant Dao. The name that could be named was not the constant name.

Nothing could be captured; everything belonged to the natural world. Forceful seizure was useless; freedom lay in nonaction.
