Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 1052 - 68: Samsara Achieved!
Chapter 1052: Chapter 68: Samsara Achieved!
No one hesitated, all those who obtained the Inheritance Jade Plate transformed into rays of light and instantly entered the palace.
There were also those without the Inheritance Jade Plate who tried to rush in, but the moment they neared the entrance, a beam of light instantly pierced through their bodies.
Those pierced through were instantly incinerated, whether they were Saints or Venerables.
Of course, the Saint Emperor was not among them.
The Saint Emperor had many methods to obtain the Inheritance Jade Plate, and no one dared to compete with him.
Before long, all who had acquired the Inheritance Jade Plate had entered the palace.
Those who had not entered could only watch from the periphery.
At this moment, Wang Sheng was in the void, gazing towards the interior of the palace.
The palace’s defenses were powerful, but they couldn’t block his view now.
Especially since he had people in there.
Upon entering the palace, a phantom immediately appeared.
The phantom called itself the Xuan Yuan Palace Spirit and would test the Inheritors.
The first test was to learn a Secret Technique.
After a hundred years, those who had a deeper mastery of the Secret Technique could stay, while the others would be sent away.
This was a very common inheritance.
“A hundred years…”
Seeing the cultivators finding places to study the Secret Technique, Wang Sheng knew he did not need to focus all his attention on Xuan Yuan Palace for the time being.
The first inheritance alone required a century.
The subsequent inheritances would certainly not be short.
“If I want to uncover the secrets of Xuan Yuan Palace, I’ll likely have to wait for the subsequent inheritance steps…”
He looked into the depths of the palace, seeing only a white misty light, extremely mysterious.
He did not look any longer but directed his gaze elsewhere.
Such a short amount of time was something he could afford to wait for.
Moreover, a hundred years was enough for him to elevate his cultivation to a higher level.
By then, perhaps he could directly break through with force.
“Since that’s the case, I might as well complete the final piece of the Underworld puzzle.”
According to the original plan, he intended to establish the final core piece of the Underworld, “Rebirth and Reincarnation,” but plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
The opening of Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance had captured a lot of his attention.
Now, it would take a long time for the process within Xuan Yuan Palace to conclude.
Given this, he naturally needed to attend to his own affairs.
So he returned to the Underworld, to the reserved area meant for rebirth.
“Establishing the legendary Reincarnation is somewhat difficult; it’s still necessary to set it up like the Ghost Messenger, finding a few experimental worlds for reincarnation.”
Reincarnation involves many elements.
For example, those with different merits would reincarnate into different places and families.
And most importantly, the reincarnation between different beings.
He had attempted it long ago.
If a being is on the cultivation path, the progress would enhance their soul origin.
Reincarnating into any being is possible.
But if one hasn’t embarked on the cultivation path,
some species have extremely weak soul origins.
For example, insects or small animals without awakened wisdom.
Their soul origins are extremely weak, and if they reincarnated into another race, like the Human Race, the final result would be a reincarnated human who is congenitally impaired and physically weak, unable to survive long or perhaps not survive birth at all.
The best choice is for insects to reincarnate as insects, and small animals without intelligence to continue as animals without awakened intelligence, otherwise it’s a waste of the reincarnation opportunity and a waste of resources.
“As in the legends, monsters desperately sought cultivation, not without reason… the suffering of reincarnation!”
Always forced to be weak creatures under control, with reincarnation bringing no change, reincarnation indeed feels like suffering for most weak creatures.
“Desperate cultivation is to break free.” Wang Sheng shook his head with a bitter smile.
Even though he understood this, there wasn’t much he could do to change it.
For a being with weak soul origin to reincarnate into a stronger being, the soul origin needs enhancement.
But it requires a great deal of resources,
and even completing this step is currently beyond his capabilities.
It seems simple but is extremely difficult.
“Just go with the flow!”
Though he couldn’t change it, he couldn’t neglect these affairs.
“First, let the soul return to its origin, which the current Soul Purifying Sea can accomplish; there’s no need to use Time Retrospection. Apart from that, the reincarnation places, still need to utilize the various Soul Cleansing Sea locations, but the path of reincarnation can’t rely on others; until the strength is sufficient, I need to personally escort them…”
“And then most rebirth can be random in a certain range, though the reincarnation of those with deep merits needs special handling.”
Sinners with monstrous crimes still need to face long-term punishment in the Underworld, far from any hope of reincarnation.
But not all those with deep merits choose to become Judge Ghosts; once their time in Wangsi City ends, they need to reincarnate.
This kind of soul’s reincarnation is the most troublesome and requires special handling.
“The previously collected information can still be useful.”
The reincarnation of those with deep merits can’t have poor conditions; they need to be well-assessed, choosing families with good conditions.
Wang Sheng set it up gradually, and after about three years, he had simply set up the Reincarnation Channel.
The process was also simple, purifying the soul through the Soul Purifying Sea, forgetting everything, returning to its origin.
Then entering the Reincarnation Channel to a world equipped for reincarnation to start anew.
A not overly complex Reincarnation Channel, which was the utmost Wang Sheng could achieve for now.
He just wanted to try, and that was enough.
“Next is to wait for the souls in Wangsi City to pass some time, and then reincarnate…”
The souls in Wangsi City mostly died due to grievances, unjust deaths.
Thus, they live in Wangsi City.
Currently, it’s impossible to determine how long these souls could have originally lived; only basic judgments can be made.
But even for the least, it would be twenty years.
From the time when the Underworld began its operation, the first batch of souls to be reincarnated was but a matter of over a decade.
“Better not disrupt the order of the Underworld; a dozen years is something I can wait for.”
…
Time passes like a fleeting horse.
After Wang Sheng established the Reincarnation Channel, over a decade passed, and it was time for the first batch of souls to reincarnate.
Ghost Messengers entered Wangsi City to notify these souls.
Most of the souls were naturally very cooperative in the face of the Ghost Messengers.
But some souls refused to reincarnate.
They cherished their life in Wangsi City.
“No, I don’t want to leave here; it’s much better than the mortal world. I don’t want to reincarnate.”
“Why can’t I stay?”
“In the mortal world, there’s nothing like Wangsi City…”
Wangsi City was set up too well by Wang Sheng; thus, many souls who lived modestly in the mortal world were reluctant to leave.
But the Ghost Messengers did not care; those unwilling to leave were detained by force.
The Naihe Bridge to reincarnation was already lined with souls.
Each of them walked onto the bridge, seeing a mysterious old lady, with a large pot in front of her.
This was the Meng Po Wang Sheng had set up temporarily.
“Come, drink my soup, forget everything, and start anew…”
The Meng Po Soup was essentially the power of the Soul Cleansing Sea.
After the souls crossed the Naihe Bridge, they were affected by Wang Sheng’s power, each consuming the Meng Po Soup.
Upon drinking it, they forgot everything, and driven by instinct, gradually entered the Reincarnation Channel.
The time flow on this Naihe Bridge was different; it seemed that they passed slowly, but the speed was actually very fast.
From the outside, it seemed slow, but in truth, the transition happened very quickly, with countless souls purified by the power of the Soul Cleansing Sea after entering the Reincarnation Channel.
The Reincarnation Channel was personally maintained by Wang Sheng, and he escorted these soul origins.
Most of them could reincarnate randomly within a certain range, but the reincarnation of those with great merit still required special handling.
The souls of those who had committed monstrous sins needed to suffer punishment in the Underworld for a long time, being far from reincarnation for a significant period.
But it wasn’t like all those with great merits chose to become Judge Ghosts; once their life in Wangsi City ended, they needed to reincarnate.
This type of soul’s reincarnation was the most troublesome and required special handling.
“It seems the information previously collected can still be useful.”
For such meritorious souls, the conditions for reincarnation could not be poor and had to be well-selected for families with good conditions.
Wang Sheng set it up little by little, and after about three years, he finally simply established the Reincarnation Channel.
The procedure was also straightforward, cleansing the soul through the Soul Cleansing Sea to make it forget everything and return to its origin.
Then, it would enter the Reincarnation Channel to a world set up for reincarnation to start a new life.
A reincarnation channel not overly complex, and this was the utmost Wang Sheng could achieve at present.
He merely wanted to give it a try, and this was sufficient.
“Next is to wait for the souls in Wangsi City to spend some time before reincarnating…”
The souls in Wangsi City mostly perished due to unresolved resentment, living as aggrieved beings.
That’s why they could live in Wangsi City.
It’s currently impossible to determine how much longer these souls could naturally live; only basic assessments could be made.
But even the shortest would have about twenty years left.
From the time of the Underworld’s operation, the first batch of souls to reincarnate had just over ten years left.
“It’s better not to disrupt the order of the Underworld; a handful of years is something I can afford to wait for.”
After waiting for a long time, the time had finally come for the souls in Wangsi City to reincarnate, and they began to pass away, one after another.
The ghost messengers entered Wangsi City to inform these souls.
Most souls were very cooperative in front of the Judge Ghost.
But some were unwilling to reincarnate.
They were deeply attached to life in Wangsi City.
“No, I don’t want to leave this place.”
“There is no place like Wangsi City in the mortal world…”
For these souls that lived modestly in the mortal world, life in Wangsi City was something they were unwilling to give up.
Ghost Messengers, though, could not be swayed; those who refused to leave were forcibly detained.
The path to reincarnation was openly lined with souls.
Each of them walked onto the Naihe Bridge, where Wang Sheng impacted them with his power until they drank the Meng Po Soup one by one and forgot everything to begin a new life.
The time flow on the Naihe Bridge was different, appearing slow, but the passage was actually quite rapid.
In what seemed a moment from the outside, countless souls were being processed through the power of the Soul Purifying Sea, forgetting everything and entering the Reincarnation Channel, all under Wang Sheng’s direct supervision.
He had specially kept an eye on the first soul to reincarnate.
As he watched the soul origin begin to develop, there was nothing unusual, everything went smoothly.
However, as the reintegration of souls progressed, an anomaly suddenly occurred in the Underworld.
The originally gloomy Underworld underwent a sudden transformation.
“This is…”
The starry sky was also changing.
It seemed as if each living being, unbeknownst to them, was hearing the same voice.
The content of the voice was also very simple.
