Chapter 147: The Illusory Form of the Reincarnation Immortal King

Ye Chen and Hunyan drifted on that planet, Ye Chen just let his body drift, without any action.

His consciousness was deeply immersed at this moment, as if fallen into sleep, but in fact he was not.

He simply couldn't understand why, in such a great age, they would have a world without growth; if they had a world with growth, why would they fear foreign cultivators, given their talents, they could also forge a new path, which is not impossible.

But they, had no time to rise.

"Ye Chen, you can't keep indulging like this; this isn't you."

Hunyan's voice suddenly sounded at this moment, as if reminding Ye Chen.

"They..."

Ye Chen murmured softly, his consciousness gradually returning.

Seeing Ye Chen's consciousness return, Hunyan let out a soft sigh.

"This is a fragment of the time river that has already happened; no matter how hard you try, you cannot change even a bit."

After Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen's eyes snapped open.

"Senior, you've watched for so long; aren't you going to come out?"

The instant Ye Chen's words fell, Hunyan's face filled with disbelief, because even it had not sensed that another person existed in this space.

"What!?"

While Hunyan was still shocked, a figure slowly emerged from the void, the figure's whole body wrapped in a layer of light, making it impossible to see clearly.

However, Ye Chen could clearly sense that the figure before him was merely an illusion, without a physical body.

And when Hunyan saw that illusion, his eyes trembled; it was not fear, but... excitement.

"Reincarnation... Immortal King!"

Ye Chen had already guessed this person's identity, so when Hunyan said he was the Reincarnation Immortal King, Ye Chen showed no particular excitement.

"Truly, the student surpasses the teacher; three layers of Extreme Boundary, the Supreme Treasure Map, and the Chaos Thunder's ultimate attack method under heaven—amazing, truly amazing."

The Reincarnation Immortal King praised, and in an instant, all of Ye Chen's trump cards were seen through; before this former top expert, Ye Chen had not even a shred of privacy.

"I suppose your appearance isn't just to talk about this, is it?"

Ye Chen said to the Reincarnation Immortal King.

"Since you, senior, have intercepted this segment of the time river, you must want the junior to know that the old ways won't work, and also to let those who come to receive the inheritance understand the strength of those foreign cultivators."

"So, the three secret realms you, senior, set up—none of them actually contain your presence, yet each bears your trace; junior, I haven't gotten that wrong, have I?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the Reincarnation Immortal King nodded approvingly.

"I can sense that you have stepped onto the path of the new law; that is good, for only the new law can resist foreign cultivators, or, once you reach the Immortal King level, you will no longer be affected—though Immortal Kings are few, and foreign Immortal Kings are also few, at least more numerous than ours."

After the Reincarnation Immortal King finished speaking, Ye Chen suddenly felt immense pressure.

Foreign Immortal Kings outnumber ours, which means their combat power is higher and more terrifying than ours!

"I want to know what exactly happened in that battle, why our Immortal Kings nearly fell, while theirs suffered little effect."

However, the Reincarnation Immortal King did not directly answer Ye Chen's question.

Perhaps the Reincarnation Immortal King thought that for Ye Chen as he is now, he shouldn't know so much.

"Strive to grow; one day you will face 'them'; after so many years of growth, you are likely already a quasi‑Immortal King."

As the Reincarnation Immortal King spoke, his form began to flicker between bright and dim.

Ye Chen and Hunyan both startled at this.

"Senior, you..."

"It's fine; merely, this illusion of mine is ending because its time is up. Striving to grow always requires someone to step forward—whether for yourself or your family, you must persevere."

"I will impart my Six Paths Reincarnation Technique to you; nothing else is needed, for you must ultimately walk your own path—if I taught you too much, you might become a second me, which I do not wish to see."

As the Reincarnation Immortal King spoke, his illusion grew ever more transparent.

"Perhaps, before long, we will..."

However, before the Reincarnation Immortal King finished speaking, his illusion completely dissipated.

And Ye Chen's mind also gained a supreme treasure technique—the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique.

【Six Paths Reincarnation Technique: created by the Reincarnation Immortal King, unmatched in power; he once used it to slay three foreign Immortal King‑level experts, his strength shocking the world.】

【But alas, Immortal Kings are scarce in this world, far fewer than in the foreign realm, and the Reincarnation Immortal King was ultimately besieged and died.】

The system's voice suddenly sounded at this moment, and at this time Hunyan was shouting at the spot where the Reincarnation Immortal King vanished.

"Reincarnation Immortal King, you haven't told me the life or death of the Eternal Immortal King!"

But at this moment the Reincarnation Immortal King's illusion had completely dissipated, unable to answer its question.

Ye Chen gazed at the starlight that the Reincarnation Immortal King turned into as it faded, his brow furrowing.

"Even you don't know the whereabouts of the Eternal Immortal King?"

Ye Chen asked Hunyan, having always thought Hunyan knew, but from today's reaction Hunyan does not know the Eternal Immortal King's whereabouts.

"I don't know; back then the battle was fierce, I was exhausted, the Eternal Immortal King sent me out of the battlefield to protect me, and I too fell into a long slumber at that moment."

After Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen's brow furrowed even deeper.

Whether Hunyan or the Reincarnation Immortal King, they both seem unwilling to let him know about that battle.

He doesn't understand why, given that they both hope he will grow quickly, yet they refuse to tell him any details of that battle.

"I don't understand; clearly you all expect me to grow, hope I can step up to face the impending Dharma‑ending age, yet you all refuse to tell me what exactly happened in that battle..."

Ye Chen's tone grew somewhat sorrowful, as if he felt an invisible pair of hands behind him pushing all of this.

And at this moment Hunyan also composed his emotions, saying to Ye Chen: "It's not that we don't want to tell you; it's that the karma is too great—if we spoke beforehand, those people would notice you, which would hinder your growth, for they would strike to erase your existence."

After Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen exhaled a turbid breath lightly, while at the same time clenching his fists.

"After all, I am simply too weak to face all this karma."

Ye Chen said this, then immediately sat cross‑legged and began cultivating the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique.

"Turbid Eye, protect my Dharma, I want to break through to Great Vehicle within this segment of information, then absorb those forced imprints!"

Ye Chen's tone was very firm; rather than passively understanding the history of that battle, it would be better for him to take the initiative and attack.

Once he becomes fully mature, those people will no longer be able to disregard his existence, and that will also be the time for him to understand all of this.
