Chapter 44: The Great Being Has Reincarnated and Isn't Even Pretending Anymore, Right?

~9 min read 1,719 words

Watching the series of messages scroll across the screen.

Finally, it settled on the content of the image appearing before her eyes.

Wang Qinghe's expression naturally went through several changes, from initial dullness to hesitation, then after a moment of hesitation, she fell into deep contemplation, and finally, it turned into "terror."

Oh no, how did I become a mother?

I am still a maiden in my twenties who hasn't been married off!

Wang Qinghe never expected that the moment she opened the screen, she would be hit with such explosive news, which completely derailed all the thoughts she had prepared beforehand.

She thought that by returning to 【Mie Changsheng】 and undergoing a night of arduous cultivation, she should be able to walk out of the Taicang Ruins and continue with the next round of exploration.

What kind of situation is this?

I am truly not prepared to get married at all!

Eh?

It seems she can't just insist it's me.

Wang Qinghe pondered for a moment; isn't this a matter from her past life? What could it possibly have to do with her?

Thinking of a way to cover up the embarrassment in her heart, Wang Qinghe still earnestly looked at the information on the screen.

To be honest, Wang Qinghe had previously been half-skeptical about the matter of past-life reincarnation.

But now, that Wine Gourd was still sitting in her room.

How could she not believe it?

The next second, Wang Qinghe saw two character cards appear before her eyes: one card belonging to Gu Jiangming, and one card belonging to Gu Shengxi.

It seems that one must unlock an intimate relationship or have the other party's reputation reach a certain level to unlock the relevant cards.

【Gu Jiangming】

【Identity: Human Race rogue cultivator. (Lineage: Human Race)】

【Father: Unknown, Mother: Unknown.】

【Age: 44 (The upper limit increases automatically according to cultivation realm).】

【Realm: Nascent Soul Stage】

【Mana: 53 (Ordinary).】

【Knowledge: 100 (Observing the past and present).】

【Charm: 74~92 (Unable to evaluate).】

【Morality: 80 (Pure Heart).】

【Fortune: 72 (Sometimes good, sometimes bad).】

【Character Words: Proud Bones by Nature, Pure Heart, Appraising Objects and Recognizing Treasures.】

【Reincarnation Status:? th life (Unable to evaluate).】

Character Words largely represent talent and future growth curves, and Gu Jiangming started with two Golden Words; in other words, as long as he doesn't encounter a fatal tribulation, he is destined for greatness in the future.

Wang Qinghe glanced at it, then scrolled back to look again, and upon discovering the data of a 44-year-old in the Nascent Soul Stage, she took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm.

I, Wang Qinghe, 291 years old, Nascent Soul Stage.

I am already one of the top figures within the Zhenggang Sect, and even the person my father, the Sect Master, has specifically named for key cultivation.

What kind of strength is this Gu Jiangming?

Moreover, according to her research during this period, Mana, Knowledge, Charm, Morality, and Fortune are actually fixed values, which count as one's talent.

Like Gu Jiangming's mana in this life, it belongs to the lower tier; no matter how strong his cultivation is, the effects of those spells and divine abilities are greatly discounted.

However, what surprised Wang Qinghe was that Gu Jiangming's Knowledge was extremely high; this was the first time she had seen such a level of Knowledge.

More importantly, these values do not seem to be fixed; after Reincarnation, they will be refreshed.

Only the character's initial words will be retained.

For example, Wang Qinghe's own initial words.

【This is your first life, your initial talent is—Born into a Prestigious Family.】

【Born into a Prestigious Family: In every one of your lives, you have an extremely high probability of being born into a prestigious and influential family (limited to the Human Race), and when your Fortune in a certain life is below 10 points, there will be an extremely low probability of being born into a poor and bitter family in the next reincarnation.】

During the last reincarnation, Wang Qinghe did not have this character word, so she guessed that this initial talent word was hidden.

It would only manifest under specific conditions.

Perhaps it was this first life that allowed Wang Qinghe to see her own initial talent word.

【"Waa—"】

Following the sound of crying in her mind, Wang Qinghe had to shift all her thoughts to the child on the screen.

Hard to handle.

As a member of the Langya Wang Clan whose father is the current Prime Minister, Wang Qinghe basically had no experience in raising children; such things, such skills, were simply not things she could come into contact with now.

What's worse, the romantic connection she sought but could not obtain in the last reincarnation had actually succeeded this time by some strange twist of fate; this dramatic contrast truly made it even harder for Wang Qinghe to handle.

Currently, the best news is that Gu Jiangming is indeed more reliable than she imagined.

The current Wang Qinghe has managed to touch upon three of Gu Jiangming's past lives: one was the Hermit of Southern Gu, and one was the Dao Venerable of Mount Shu.

The third past life is the one before her eyes.

Thinking of this, Wang Qinghe was suddenly curious about who fell for whom first; after all, this time, Wang Qinghe's past life did not have the treacherous Reincarnation Word 【Heart-Pounding】.

In this life, she is definitely a poised and graceful daughter of a prestigious family; from Wang Qinghe's perspective, no matter how she thinks about it, it shouldn't have been her who made the first move.

In the last reincarnation, her foolish past self chased him crazily; this time, there should at least be a reversal, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Qinghe turned back to check the starting point of this marriage, to see who exactly initiated the advance.

An incense stick of time passed, Wang Qinghe read the information three times, and silently exited the overview interface.

It makes no sense.

This is my past life; it has absolutely nothing to do with me, Wang Qinghe, okay?

Furthermore, a man and a woman living together for over a decade, developing some feelings, Wang Qinghe thinks that is completely reasonable.

【You watch Gu Jiangming practice sword techniques.】

【Through thirteen years of diligent practice, day in and day out, he finally grasped a sword Dao essence unique to himself.】

【Through long-term immersive practice, Gu Jiangming comprehended Non-Self Sword Intent.】

【This sword intent is as cold and clear as a gurgling spring in a mountain ravine; this sword intent is as bone-chilling as frost across the Nine Provinces; this is a sword intent where one knows the true move the moment it is unleashed.】

【There is no retreat.】

【Once the move is made.】

【There is no victory or defeat, only life or death.】

【From this moment on, Gu Jiangming's path of the sword has begun.】

You brat, aren't you being a bit too much?!

Your talent for spells isn't great, so you're switching directly to sword cultivation, right? Sword cultivation is one thing, but you comprehended sword intent in thirteen years?

What is the meaning of this?

A great master reincarnated and you're not even pretending anymore, right?

Wang Qinghe's background in this life is relatively high, starting her cultivation within the Zhenggang Sect, so her access to information is very high, and she knows the basic information about many cultivation practices like the back of her hand.

What she loves most is exploring the world.

And ten thousand years ago, it was divided into two cultivation systems.

One is the Merit commonly spoken of in the secular world; basically, officials in the imperial court all have Merit accumulated in their hands. They do not practice spells or refine their physical bodies, only using Merit to defend against enemies.

The other is the cultivators of the Longevity Realm, which are Human Race practitioners who cultivate through Spirit Qi and their physical bodies.

These two things have actually been passed down, it is just that people today are simply scattered and disorganized in their refining and application of Merit, and the inheritance has been broken.

A 44-year-old in the Nascent Soul Stage, looking at the various major sects, is almost guaranteed to be a direct disciple of the sect leader. If their character is up to par and they have a certain sense of the big picture, after cultivating for a hundred years or so, they could inherit the position of sect leader.

And this is not for those small, minor sects, but for those major sects that rank among the best.

And what about sword intent?

It is roughly a supreme treasure in the eyes of those sword cultivators among Human Race practitioners who mainly cultivate by honing their physical bodies.

It is enough to be described as something that can be met but not sought; many sword cultivators even try to imitate and learn the sword intent of others by observing the traces left by their predecessors, absorbing it for their own use.

And this kind of sword intent is generally considered to be acquired through later cultivation; no matter what realm they reach in the future, they will never be able to surpass the sword cultivator who originally comprehended this sword intent.

Gu Jiangming comprehending his own sword intent in thirteen years means he could establish his own sect and become a school of his own among sword cultivators; he can continue to practice and refine it through constant effort in the future.

Good brother, if you can kill your way out of the Taicang Ruins, do you want to go down in history ten thousand years ago?

Moreover, Wang Qinghe has seen the effects of this Nameless Sword Art of Gu Jiangming's, and it might as well have the words 【Invincible at the same level】 written all over it.

This is simply too outrageous.

Now Wang Qinghe has no other thoughts; she is now very much looking forward to how much shock Gu Jiangming will bring to the people here if he kills his way out of this place.

This is already a bit unreasonable.

If you keep going like this, it makes my many years of hard cultivation seem very untalented.
