Chapter 55: Buddhist Purifying Dust, Great Might Heavenly Dragon

The Reincarnation Information displayed on Lü Ya's body surprised Lin Chuan.

Ninety-nine cycles of reincarnation?

All as his maid?

How much did this girl love being her own maid?

According to what the system said, if every dream cycle reincarnation was one's own true self, then the amount of information was a bit overwhelming.

If everything discovered in the dream was already in a predetermined state, then how could there be a function like 'Dream Entry' that was comparable to a cheat?

The real situation was definitely more complex than he imagined.

Unable to figure it out, Lin Chuan quickly discarded the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

In any case, setting aside all the complicated theories for now, he just needed to treat it as a dream to play through.

Everything centered on his true self in the reality of the Nine-phase World.

"Sit down and eat."

Lin Chuan did not like too many rules, and Lü Ya, as his maid, often ate at the same table with him.

Seeing through the Reincarnation Eye the news that 'she had been a maid for ninety-nine cycles of reincarnation,' he felt even more pity for this girl,

and also felt a greater sense of closeness.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Lü Ya did not have any hidden thoughts; she sat down and began eating.

Before long, Lin Yangyang also returned.

Lin Chuan's gaze fell on his own sister.

Reincarnation Information appeared:

【Lin Yangyang, Reincarnation Count: 2.】

【This is Lin Yangyang's third life. In her previous two cycles of reincarnation, she had intersections with you. Worth mentioning, her second life was also the sister of one of your reincarnation bodies.】

So it was a sibling bond cultivated in a past life?

Lin Chuan suddenly felt that this world had become wondrous,

"Sis, congratulations. Our trading house's business has taken another big step forward."

Lin Yangyang walked over and sat down beside Lin Chuan, her face brimming with smiles,

"I have to say, ever since we set foot on the Path of Cultivation, business has gone much more smoothly too. You've been performing quite well over at the Demon-Slaying Office, right?"

Lin Yangyang was no fool.

Relying solely on the Lin Trading House's own credentials, they had no qualifications to enter the Yan Du Xing Shang at all. They must have received special treatment from the Demon-Slaying Office.

"You really can't hide anything from you, Sis."

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Whatever you want to do in the Yan Chao from now on, just go ahead and do it boldly, Sis. The Demon-Slaying Office is our backing."

Or rather, the entire Great Yan Dynasty was their backing.

Whether the Human Race, the Demon Tribe, or the Spirit Clan, they were all their own people.

"Having a backing is certainly a good thing, but we can't be frivolous either. I'll handle the trading house's affairs. You focus on your cultivation."

Having been in business for many years, Lin Yangyang had seen too many forces rise or fall in the blink of an eye. One couldn't rely entirely on a backing for support in how one conducted oneself and did things.

Especially at her little brother's age, it was very easy to get carried away.

After the hearty meal.

Lin Chuan handed Lin Yangyang a piece of paper filled with the names of materials,

"Sis, I need some resources for my cultivation. Use the trading house's connections to help me look for them and see if you can find them."

"This many?"

Lin Yangyang took the paper and looked closely. There was a dense pile of materials, many of which even she had never seen before.

"Can't help it. Who told you your brother is a genius Sword Cultivator? The resources needed for cultivation are more than others'."

In reality, the materials Lin Chuan needed were all required to revive Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's soul, and this was only a portion of them.

To truly revive Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's soul, he might have to leave Qingyun Prefecture for a trip.

The "Spirit Control General Art, Third Compilation" recorded the most essential materials, none of which had ever appeared in Qingyun Prefecture.

But Lin Chuan was not in a hurry to go find them.

He planned to lay low for a while first. Once the basic materials were fully gathered, he would leave Qingyun Prefecture to search for those few required main materials.

Before that, improving his strength was still the priority.

Lin Chuan had already begun preparing to construct his fourth Dream Cycle Linkage. With the experience of the first three times and having noticed some of the connections between dreams and reality, he had become much more cautious.

Given the current situation, it was no longer suitable for a female lead to appear in the Dream Cycle Linkage.

Reality was already a Shura Battlefield.

If another one came, he feared he would be completely drained dry.

Late at night when all was quiet, Lin Chuan prepared to test the effects of the Dream Cycle Linkage and called the maid Lü Ya to his room.

The Dream Entry Mall materialized before his eyes.

Lin Chuan had originally intended to try the Gao Ji Xuan Huan Shi Jie version of the Dream Cycle Linkage, but as it turned out, even the basic entry of Gao Ji Xuan Huan Shi Jie alone required points.

He couldn't afford it. He absolutely couldn't afford it!

A two-person Dream Cycle Linkage did not require extra points, but the selectable Dream Entries would be restricted.

The system issued a prompt:

【It is recommended that the Host wait until their cultivation reaches the Divine Soul Realm before conducting a multi-person Dream Cycle Linkage. At that time, the system will unlock a new function for you — Free Interaction.】

The eight major cultivation realms: Nurturing Qi Realm, Opening Vessels Realm, Soaring Sky Realm, Shedding Body Realm, Divine Soul Realm, Heaven Harmonization Realm, Saint Realm, and Supreme Realm.

The first three realms — Nurturing Qi, Opening Vessels, and Soaring Sky — all belonged to the foundational realms of the process of adapting to spiritual Qi.

The fourth stage, the Detachment Birth Realm, as its name suggests, is the beginning of shedding the old self, the start of truly encountering the subtleties of cultivation.

The fifth stage, the Divine Soul Realm, is a metamorphosis of the spirit.

Upon reaching this realm, one can practice One Heart Two Uses, let the spiritual consciousness radiate outward, let the soul wander beyond the body, and sense heaven and earth in a brand‑new manner.

Only then can one hope to align with heaven and earth, gain the approval of the Dao of heaven and earth, and ascend to the Heaven‑Joining Realm.

Lin Chuan is still only in the Soaring Sky Realm, so he must abandon the Dream Cycle Linkage attempt with Lü Ya and let Lü Ya leave the room first.

After many days of accumulation, Lin Chuan has gathered two hundred thousand System Points.

But this time he does not intend to spend them all.

He wants to hoard more points and trigger the Dream Cycle of the Gao Ji Xuan Huan Shi Jie as soon as possible.

The pinnacle of the Low-Grade Xuanhuan World can reach the Supreme Realm, and the Gao Ji Xuan Huan Shi Jie is unlikely to be weaker than the Nine-phase World.

Perhaps it is a reincarnation based on the Nine-phase World, merely existing on a different timeline.

Lin Chuan begins selecting Dream Entries.

This time he chooses neither a beautiful companion nor friends.

Aside from the basic Low-Grade Xuanhuan World entry costing fifty thousand points, he only purchases two background entries.

The first is Monk.

The second is Abstain from Women.

Although most monks keep the precept, as the protagonist he can always do something different, so Lin Chuan simply adds an extra safeguard.

As for the rest, they will be freely generated by the Dream Cycle.

Having finished his selections, Lin Chuan lies on the bed and soon drifts into slumber.

The brand‑new Dream Cycle has begun.

In the first year of the Tianshui Huangchao calendar, you were born; your father was the top scholar of the Tianshui Huangchao, and your mother a Princess of the current reign.

You were showered with your parents' love, living in a world where all stars cherish the moon.

The good times did not last; on a quiet deep night, your father was murdered.

Your mother was grief‑stricken.

Prolonged longing and sorrow made her miss you to the point of illness; she remained melancholy and eventually died of sickness.

At that time you were only five years old.

The same year, an old monk came to your home.

The old monk's title is 'Fa Tian'.

Fahai Heshang said, "You have a karmic tie with our Deity, little benefactor, come with me to Fo Men."

"Fine."

You had no hesitation and agreed right away.

Fahai Heshang took you back to Fo Men Jing Shui Si and gave you a Buddhist name, Jingchen.

In the years of Buddhist practice, you displayed an astonishing talent that left many Fo Men cultivators in awe.

Time passed, and you came of age.

On your eighteenth birthday, your Shifu Fa Tian Heshang taught you his renowned technique.

The technique is called Great Mighty Celestial Dragon.
