Deeper into Reincarnation! An Immeasurable Tribulation?

Chamber of Reincarnation!

Ao Changsheng and Pingxin stood facing each other.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, is this enough?"

Pingxin frowned slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I remember last time you Zhunti for a million years, and even with all sorts of scheming, you managed to damage Zhunti's Zhunti heart. How come this time..."

Looking at Pingxin, who was still worried, Ao Changsheng chuckled softly.

"These things also depend on the person."

"Although many of Daoist Zhunti's actions are despicable, there is no doubt that he is a person with a firm Daoist heart. The reason he did such things is simply due to his obsession!"

"And Zhunti himself was aware of this, but he was simply unwilling to relinquish that obsession."

"If one day he relinquishes that obsession, or rather, completes the process of fulfilling that obsession, that will be the time when Zhunti enlightenment."

"The methods I used on Zhunti were merely to add another layer of influence to his obsession, making it even harder for him to let go of that obsession, leaving him only with the option of fulfilling it."

"But Celestial Venerable Yuanshi is different..." Ao Changsheng said, shaking his head slightly.

"Celestial Venerable Yuanshi has no obsessions. The reason he has been unable to sever his final corpse is simply because he has not yet come to understand himself!"

"To hinder or delay his opportunity to sever his corpse and attain enlightenment, all we need to do is defeat him decisively. Given the arrogance of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, he will undoubtedly be driven to a frantic desire to become a true Sage."

"But the more this is the case, the harder it is for him to truly eradicate the last remaining vestige and completely mend the flaws in his soul."

"The day he truly understands what Sage is, that may be the day he attains enlightenment," Ao Changsheng said softly.

Listening to Ao Changsheng's explanation, Pingxin nodded Pingxin. To be honest, he didn't understand a single word Ao Changsheng said.

What obsession, what self-awareness? Is this even necessary for enlightenment?

As if sensing Pingxin's confusion, Ao Changsheng shook his head with a wry smile.

He, too, is a Houtu Pangu, Houtu, whose body is united with the Great Dao of Earth, and now, as the one who governs reincarnation, speaks of the Dao of the Three Corpses.

"Pingxin, just consider this a drawback of the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses!" Ao Changsheng said, shaking his head slightly.

"The shortcut to Dao of Severing the Three Corpses, by utilizing the power of Innate Spirit Treasure, allows one to quickly accumulate the necessary resources to reach the level of Quasi-Sage or Sage. However, taking this shortcut naturally comes at a price."

"Ao Changsheng said."

"Taking shortcuts has its drawbacks... Now that Fellow Daoist Changsheng has said that, I understand," Pingxin said with a look of sudden realization.

No, you don't understand!

Ao Changsheng silently complained to himself.

Or rather, Ao Changsheng himself didn't understand. Although he had studied the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses, he had never actually practiced it.

Although I have a thorough understanding of the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses, this is only the surface. Every practitioner of this path can understand this.

However, even if he were to truly cultivate, Ao Changsheng could not guarantee that he would be able to quickly eliminate the Three Corpses.

But...

He wasn't confident he could sever the Three Corpses, but... given his understanding of the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses, influencing or interfering with others' Dao of Severing the Three Corpses wouldn't be difficult.

Only...

"Fellow Daoist Pingxin, may you now tell me why I was asked to interfere with the cultivation of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi?"

"I recall that there should be no conflict between the Ancestral Witch and the Three Purities, and there has been no conflict between you and Yuanshi."

Ao Changsheng looked at Pingxin and asked softly.

"This..."

After a moment's hesitation, Pingxin looked at Ao Changsheng and said in a deep voice, "Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, can I trust you?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ao Changsheng looked at Pingxin and said in a deep voice, "Not necessarily!"

Pingxin's expression immediately froze.

She had already mentally prepared herself to tell Ao Changsheng things after he said she could trust him.

But now, Pingxin at Ao Changsheng in front of her, Pingxin didn't know what to say.

Looking at Pingxin, who was standing there awkwardly, Ao Changsheng smiled.

"Pingxin Daoist Pingxin, my assistance to you is merely a transaction; it just so happens that I also dislike the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi."

"As for your purpose, Pingxin Daoist Pingxin, while I am somewhat curious, it's not to the point where I absolutely must know."

"Besides... I don't want to know everything so soon. I haven't had enough of this grand drama in the Primordial World yet!"

As he spoke, Ao Changsheng slowly turned and left with a smile on his face.

"As long as you don't forget the reward for this service, that will suffice."

As soon as Ao Changsheng finished speaking, he disappeared into the Chamber of Reincarnation.

Gazing in the direction where Ao Changsheng disappeared, Pingxin remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh.

"How enviable! Fellow Daoist Changsheng..."

"A pawn belonging to no one, you, as a free being, are unique in this Primordial World, an existence that everyone envies."

She muttered to herself Pingxin, and without making any visible movement, the surrounding environment would rapidly change.

In an instant, the person was transported from the Chamber of Reincarnation to the deepest part of this land of reincarnation.

Here...

It is the depths of reincarnation that can only be entered with Pingxin.

Even the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who holds the Authority of Reincarnation, and even Ao Changsheng, who has various backup plans in this Realm of Reincarnation, cannot reach this place.

In the deepest part of this cycle of reincarnation, eleven strange, vast, and majestic black clouds, like a galaxy, lie dormant.

Surrounding these eleven vast and majestic black clouds were even more radiant black nebulae.

Upon closer inspection, the surrounding dark nebula is clearly composed of countless billions of dark gas clouds of varying sizes.

Among these billions of black clouds of varying sizes, the largest might be one percent the size of those eleven enormous black clouds.

And the smallest ones are not even one in a billion.

The eleven enormous black spheres throbbed like enormous hearts, and with each contraction, a massive amount of mysterious matter surged forth from the depths of reincarnation.

It was absorbed by the eleven black gas clusters and the billions of black gas nebulae, and then... all the black gas clusters would shrink by an almost imperceptible amount.

Pingxin gazed at the eleven black wisps of energy, like a galaxy, slumbering in the deepest part of the cycle of reincarnation, a hesitation and doubt that should not have appeared on his face.

"Brother... tell me, was what I did right or wrong?"

Pingxin sighed and muttered to herself softly.

Elder brother?

It goes without saying who Pingxin's elder brother is.

The significance of these eleven wisps of black energy before us is equally self-evident.

At this moment, Pingxin seemed to be questioning her brothers who had not yet fully recovered, or perhaps she was questioning herself.

As for whether it's right or wrong... only the Pingxin making the decision knows for sure.

Primordial World!

The Changsheng's Dao Field in the East Sea.

Immediately after the Chamber of Reincarnation, Ao Changsheng's earth-based body showed no intention of lingering in the Primordial World and quickly returned to the Daoist temple.

The reason why Pingxin entrusted him with the task of dealing with Celestial Venerable Yuanshi during the Chamber of Reincarnation.

He genuinely wasn't curious.

Although... he had roughly guessed it.

As he said, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had no enmity with the Three Purities, and they had almost no interaction with each other.

The only connection between them is... that they are descendants of Pangu and the title of the true lineage of Pangu.

One side claims to be formed from the Essence Blood of Pangu, while the other claims to be formed from three parts of Pangu Primordial Spirit. This... is the only connection between the two sides that Ao Changsheng can think of.

Although somewhat decisive, Ao Changsheng guessed that Pingxin wanted to hinder Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's chance to attain sainthood.

I'm afraid... if all Three Purities Ones become saints, some strange things will happen, and these are precisely the things that Pingxin doesn't want to see.

Therefore, Pingxin entrusted him with the task of dealing with Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

No.

To be precise, Pingxin's request was to obstruct either Celestial Venerable Yuanshi or Cult Master Tongtian.

It's just that Ao Changsheng chose to attack Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

As for the reward for this operation...

When Ao Changsheng 'Great Dao of Earth Body arrived at the place where his true self was in seclusion, a ray of light floated out from his hand.

This bit of brilliance, or rather, this bit of authority, is the reward Pingxin has given him this time.

The authority to reincarnate.

It's not authority, just authority, but... that authority alone is enough for Ao Changsheng to take action and seize it.

Because...

This is the reincarnation authority that only Pingxin, as the creator of reincarnation, can possess.

It grants Ao Changsheng the authority to enter deeper into the cycle of reincarnation and gain a more profound understanding of the Primordial World's cycle of reincarnation.

This is a place that Ao Changsheng's reincarnation authority could not reach in the past.

It is a deeper part of the Primordial World cycle of reincarnation that Ao Changsheng has never been able to enter before.

And...

Compared to the one-tenth of the Authority of Reincarnation that Ao Changsheng possessed, Pingxin possessed more than four times that Authority of Reincarnation.

It is not only more in-depth, but also more vast.

In addition, with the Authority of Reincarnation he himself possessed, Ao Changsheng now able to glimpse more than half of the Primordial World cycle of reincarnation.

This will undoubtedly be of great help to Ao Changsheng's cultivation.

If...

However, if Hongjun's Authority of Reincarnation could also be opened up, allowing Ao Changsheng to spy on it.

If one could traverse the entire cycle of reincarnation, and comprehend the cycle of reincarnation throughout the Primordial World.

Perhaps, even without the help of the Tree of the Great Dao, Ao Changsheng could master the Great Dao of the Primordial World at a terrifying speed.

Furthermore, it can be integrated into one's own Great Dao of the World.

Looking at the reincarnation authority brought by the Dao Body of Great Dao of Earth, Ao Changsheng did not do anything to the light spot.

The quickest way would be to integrate this reincarnation authority into the Authority of Reincarnation he already possesses.

But...

Compared to Pingxin, the orthodox goddess of reincarnation, Ao Changsheng was ultimately just a cultivator who used the Authority of Reincarnation to comprehend the Great Dao of the World.

The study of mastering the Authority of Reincarnation is ultimately not as effective as maintaining Pingxin, so naturally, one would not do that at this point.

Ao Changsheng calmly gazed at the light spot of the reincarnation authority, and his World Domain instantly opened, encompassing it.

Then, they began to analyze this cycle of permissions.

It didn't take Ao Changsheng long to thoroughly understand the essence of this reincarnation authority.

This reincarnation authority is not some mysterious substance or Divine Ability, but merely a code-like entity.

It is the code to the Authority of Reincarnation held by Pingxin. With this code, Ao Changsheng can use Pingxin's Authority of Reincarnation at any time to freely travel through reincarnation.

"This kind of thing... I'm afraid only Pingxin would dare to do it!" Ao Changsheng looked at the point of light and shook his head slightly.

Although having this password does not mean that one can completely control Pingxin's Authority of Reincarnation, on the contrary, Pingxin can change the password and render it invalid with just a thought.

But even so...

Neither Hongjun nor Ao Changsheng would dare to do anything the same as usual.

The ability to access the Authority of Reincarnation through a password implies a vulnerability, meaning that the existence of this password could influence, or even seize, the Authority of Reincarnation.

Just as Ao Changsheng said, only the orthodox Goddess of Reincarnation, and only Pingxin, would dare to do such a thing.

Ao Changsheng casually destroyed the point of light. Although he had thoroughly studied its essence, for safety's sake, Ao Changsheng still did not intend to directly use this reincarnation authority.

And this...

This reflects the cautious attitude of Ao Changsheng, and even the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, towards reincarnation.

They have already grasped the essence of the reincarnation authority, even without the reincarnation authority granted by Pingxin.

Ao Changsheng easily infiltrated the cycle of reincarnation controlled by Pingxin by relying on the existence of this 'code'.

The moment he entered it, Ao Changsheng was completely shocked.

Originally, he thought there might be a difference between four times the Authority of Reincarnation, but at most it would be only four to ten times!

But now...

Ao Changsheng gazed at the cycle of reincarnation in the Primordial World that he had glimpsed through Pingxin's Authority of Reincarnation. Compared to the Primordial World reincarnation that he could glimpse, it was a hundred times more complex.

The mysteries contained within were so profound that Ao Changsheng could tell at a glance that they were hundreds of times more than he had been able to glimpse before.

"That's amazing..."

Ao Changsheng's wisp of consciousness, which had entered the cycle of reincarnation, murmured to himself.

Then, unable to resist, he activated the Great Dao of the World, transforming into a mass of world origin, and completely merging into that cycle of reincarnation.

They began to comprehend the complex cycle system of that Primordial World and to grasp Primordial World mysterious structure.

At this moment.

Inside the Changsheng's Dao Field, Ao Changsheng himself slowly opened his eyes, a look of shock in them.

Clearly, he hadn't anticipated that the gap between the Authority of Reincarnation would be so vast.

Suddenly, another Primordial World appeared in Ao Changsheng's mind.

I thought of the end of that Primordial World River of Space and Time, that High Antiquity Primordial World occupied and suppressed by the Four Sacred Beasts.

The Three Thousand Great Dao of that world are perfectly unified. If one could construct a cycle of reincarnation in that world, and then use it to glimpse that High Antiquity Primordial World.

It's likely that before long, Ao Changsheng will even be able to perfect the Three Thousand Great Dao and achieve an incredible realm.

But...

Ao Changsheng was just thinking about it.

The Four Sacred Beasts of that High Antiquity Primordial World were not a problem. Even though they occupied a cultivation treasure land like the High Antiquity Primordial World, Ao Changsheng was not afraid of them.

Even if we don't say they were driven away and monopolized the High Antiquity Primordial World, it wouldn't be difficult for them to force their way in and turn the Four Spirit Sacred Beasts into the Five Divine Beasts.

But...

That world holds a great secret, and hidden beneath it is... Pangu.

No matter how confident Ao Changsheng was, it was impossible for him to challenge Pangu at this time.

The Heaven-Opening Axe Light that destroyed a wisp of his divine consciousness last time left a very deep impression on him.

And...

Ao Changsheng always felt that something was wrong with that world. Although it wasn't as dangerous as Pangu, there must be some great danger hidden in that world.

Even when faced with the temptation of the Three Thousand Great Dao, Ao Changsheng was unwilling to easily step into that world again.

But...

Ao Changsheng doesn't mind seizing any world in the future, once he has enough strength, and using that world as nourishment to cultivate his Tree of the Great Dao.

Perhaps...

It's possible that it could grow Three Thousand Great Dao Fruit at once.

Ao Changsheng's eyes flickered; even with his strong will, he found it difficult to control himself at the thought of that scene.

After a long while, he finally calmed down, closed his Ao Changsheng, and prepared to continue his cultivation.

This time, more than half of the Primordial World cycles serve as a reference.

Although Ao Changsheng could not comprehend more of the Great Dao and achieve a qualitative breakthrough in a short period of time, he could still follow the framework of the Primordial World.

They will surely be able to improve all his methods. The essence may not change much, but in terms of power, they will probably increase at least several times.

However, Ao Changsheng had only been in seclusion for a short while when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Primordial World sky outside the training ground with a look of astonishment.

"Immeasurable Tribulation?"
