Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 903 - 2: Success?
Chapter 903: Chapter 2: Success?
Under their cooperation, all the memories of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor were quickly sealed, and his soul became utterly bewildered.
“This step went relatively smoothly… Now it’s time to reverse the soul, returning it to its most primal state.” Wang Sheng’s expression grew serious.
He had a premonition that this step would not be easy.
Without any hesitation, the power of time was unleashed.
The soul state of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor constantly shifted with the passage of time.
At first, it gradually weakened, which Wang Sheng handled with ease.
But as the time of reversal increased, an unexpected event occurred.
The soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, after a period of weakness, suddenly became extremely powerful.
It became so powerful that Wang Sheng dared not continue reversing it and had to stop.
“If I reverse any further, the backlash I would suffer could cause my avatar to fall, and even if my true body came, it would be severely injured, and success would not be guaranteed. I almost forgot, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor is from the Spiritual Cultivation System and once reached the Twelve Realm; when I reverse, I inevitably pass through this period, a difficulty no less than resurrecting a Twelve Realm expert.”
Resurrecting a Twelve Realm is something he may not withstand, even now.
“It seems it cannot be achieved for now… Although it’s tempting, the cost to me is too great.”
Reversal requires a price, and Wang Sheng naturally wouldn’t foolishly continue it.
He was already close to the Twelve Realm, wouldn’t reversal be better by then?
Finally, Wang Sheng glanced at the still bewildered soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor and muttered to himself: “You should stay by the River of Souls for now, I’ll try with you in the future.”
A Twelve Realm soul that also actively cooperates is not so easy to find.
When he has the strength, he will surely re-conduct the experiment.
As for the matter of reincarnation, Wang Sheng had new thoughts.
“The soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor is not feasible, but that doesn’t mean other souls aren’t.”
Failing to reverse the soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was because he once had an exceedingly powerful period and has lived for at least tens of millions of years.
The cost of reversal is too great, even Wang Sheng finds it hard to bear.
But what if it’s an ordinary being or a being with not so powerful cultivation?
No need to mention, Eleventh Realm or below, for him, pose no pressure.
“Eleventh Realm is considered fairly powerful, hard to find in death, but below the Ten Realm isn’t difficult, very easy to find, can gather more for attempts, not only to gain experience but also to enhance the River of Souls.”
The derivative entries of Cultivation Technique differ from those of Divine Ability Martial Techniques, the former can autonomously improve.
Gathering more souls for nourishment can also open up like a virtual world, boosting the evolution process.
Now with so many issues in reincarnation, evolution might bring about a turning point.
Thus, after dealing with the soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, Wang Sheng set forth again.
This time, he wandered through old places, different worlds, and planets, collecting souls that died from various accidents and threw them into the River of Souls for nurturing.
Simultaneously, he collected treasures and sent them back to enhance his true body’s power.
Both tasks, neither left unattended.
Time passed quickly, several years went by, and Wang Sheng collected quite a number of souls.
From ordinary beings to beings of the Tenth Realm were present.
“Over a hundred souls, temporarily enough!”
In these years, some initially found souls had been fully nurtured, ready for reincarnation anytime.
Wang Sheng contemplated a Fifth Realm soul.
“Now let’s see if I can reverse time, and if after reversal, the influence of the River of Souls will be eliminated!”
Previously unable to attempt, with the opportunity now, Wang Sheng naturally wanted to try everything.
As time reversed, the Fifth Realm soul gradually returned to its most initial state.
First, it became the strength of an ordinary being’s soul, then increasingly weak, shortly transforming into an infant.
The infant soul was crystalline, seemingly untouched by a speck of dust, fragile yet pure.
Wang Sheng stopped the reversal.
“It should be about right now…”
Continuing to reverse would lose the form of the soul, making reincarnation uncertain.
He had no confidence in such matters and did not want to rashly attempt.
Following this, Wang Sheng checked his level of control and found reincarnation could still proceed without any issues.
“It seems, similar to the Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s soul being eroded, stained with the aura of the River of Souls. Even returning to the most initial state, the influence will not be eliminated. Hopefully, it won’t affect reincarnation!”
“But what exactly will happen still needs to be experimented with.”
Without much more hesitation, Wang Sheng directly sealed the memory, and turning into the initial state soul, found a host mother to implant it into.
Watching the successful fusion of the soul, he murmured: “Hope this time, nothing unexpected happens.”
He settled nearby to facilitate observation.
Being an experiment, he selected a race with a short gestation period.
A little over a year passed, and the birth was successful.
“From the physical standpoint, there’s no problem, but previously the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was the same, cannot be complacent.”
Born healthy means nothing, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was initially the same.
Wang Sheng did not interfere and continued to observe.
Soon, five years went by.
“Still no issue, if it were the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, the body should have collapsed. Has it succeeded?”
Again, some time passed.
This day, Wang Sheng also became alerted.
Because the sealed memory of the reincarnated person awakened!
“So, are you Fan Xuan or Liu Zhijun?”
Fan Xuan, the name of the Fifth Realm.
Liu Zhijun is of this life.
“In the past life, a Fifth Realm, lived a thousand years, in this life, under ten years. Logically, the result is evident.”
A thousand years and ten years, one look can tell who the ultimate victor is.
Regrettably, reincarnation is just such an inexplicable affair.
A night passed.
“Am I Fan Xuan? No, I am Liu Zhijun, Fan Xuan is merely a past cloud smoke, but the benefits to me are significant, stepping into the path of cultivation, changing the family’s fate.”
Although from the heart, Wang Sheng still eavesdropped.
Apparently, the ultimate victor is Liu Zhijun.
His character changed somewhat, becoming more mature, yet still recognized himself as Liu Zhijun.
However, in some sense, Fan Xuan is also a victor.
Because now it is almost certain that Fan Xuan’s reincarnation succeeded, becoming Liu Zhijun.
“Liu Zhijun is so, what about others?”
These years, besides observing Liu Zhijun, other souls were also largely deployed, dozens of test subjects, all needing his observation.
“Liu Zhijun’s memory awakening, others should be similar…”
As he predicted, other reincarnated souls also gradually awakened.
Wang Sheng monitored each of them.
Most reincarnators, like Liu Zhijun, though more mature, recognized themselves in this life’s identity. Memories from past reincarnations were considered a fortune.
However, three reincarnators were different.
And these three reincarnators all possessed cultivation of at least the Eighth Realm and above in their past lives.
Respectively, the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Realm.
They were the souls that took Wang Sheng the most time to find.
The higher their cultivation, the more they embraced their past life’s identity.
Of course, they did not reject their current life’s identity either, opting to conceal and quietly develop.
The only Tenth Realm reincarnator, Duan Lingxian, had already embarked on cultivation.
In the past life, a female, the same in this life.
“Did not expect the legend of reincarnation to be true, I have successfully reincarnated, Tong Xiao, wait for me, I will surely come back for revenge!”
Her death resulted from being ambushed by her own companions while fighting for treasures.
Thus, her heart harbored intense hatred.
Now reincarnated anew, she would undoubtedly choose revenge.
“Before death, I remembered that Cultivation Technique, which I thought was impossible to cultivate now seems it might be fate. However, this is also my opportunity, the Twelve Realm Saint Emperor’s Cultivation Technique is much stronger than what I cultivated in my past life, in this life, I have the chance for revenge.”
Her re-cultivation this life would definitely surpass her past life.
Though unaware, all of this was observed by Wang Sheng.
“Quite interesting… a bit like a protagonist’s destiny? Since so, let me fan the flames…”
