Chapter 123: Before the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Ending Cause and Effect

After entering Fengdu City, the carriage team of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce was guided to a post station specially established for visiting merchants.

As soon as the carriage team stopped, Lu Cheng walked quickly to Su Chen's carriage and said: "Fellow Daoist Su, we have arrived. The person who is to meet you is already waiting outside."

Su Chen lifted the carriage curtain and walked down.

Only to see a middle-aged ghost cultivator wearing an official uniform, with a fair face and three strands of long beard, standing quietly at the entrance of the post station.

He saw Su Chen and greeted him, cupping his hands toward Su Chen.

"Are you Fellow Daoist Su San?"

Su Chen nodded.

"I am Si Bin, ordered by my lord to wait for you here." He introduced himself.

"Thank you, Lord Si." Su Chen also returned a polite salute.

Lu Cheng on the side saw that the two had connected, and hurriedly stepped forward to say: "Fellow Daoist Su, Lord Si, since that's the case, Lu will take his leave first. There is a pile of affairs in the chamber of commerce waiting for me to handle."

His mission for this trip had been successfully completed.

The things that followed were not something he could participate in.

"President Lu, walk slowly." Su Chen nodded at him.

After sending Lu Cheng away, Si Bin made a gesture of invitation to Su Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please follow me. My lord has already arranged everything for you."

Su Chen didn't ask much, just followed Si Bin silently and walked toward the depths of Fengdu City.

Si Bin took Su Chen through Fengdu City.

Fengdu City was heavily guarded, and from time to time, one could see underworld soldiers patrolling past.

Along the way, neither of them spoke; doing this kind of thing, everyone knew that the less they knew about each other, the better.

Although Si Bin was polite to him, there was also a sense of distance in that politeness.

After walking for about a stick of incense time, Si Bin stopped in front of a palace.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please wait here for a moment."

After speaking, he walked into the palace alone.

Su Chen stood outside the palace; this palace was covered with powerful restrictions, and his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate it at all.

Not long after, Si Bin walked out from inside, holding a file in his hand.

He nodded at Su Chen and said: "It's all handled, let's go."

Su Chen was a bit curious, but since the other party didn't mean to speak actively, he didn't ask much.

Following Si Bin, they walked around for a long time.

They arrived at a huge square.

At the end of the square, a huge, indescribable wheel composed of six different colors of light stood on the earth.

On that wheel, a supreme, majestic, and vast reincarnation law power was emitted.

Just standing here, looking at that wheel, Su Chen felt his soul trembling for it.

As if as long as he was swept by that light, he would be instantly rolled into it, unable to struggle anymore.

"Is this the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel?"

Su Chen's heart was full of shock.

This was the hub that maintained the balance of the Three Realms and determined the fate of all living beings.

In front of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel was a river flowing with yellow water; that was the legendary Naiheqiao River, and on the river was a blue stone bridge without railings; that was the Naiheqiao.

At the head of the Naiheqiao was a stone platform named Wangxiang Platform, where those dead souls could take one last look at their relatives in the world of the living.

Further ahead was a giant stone named Three-Life Stone; the Three-Life Stone could trace the past and present lives of the dead souls.

Countless souls lined up in long queues, passing through Wangxiang Platform and Three-Life Stone one by one.

Then finally walked onto the Naihe Bridge, drank the bowl of soup handed by Granny Meng, ended the past events of their previous lives, and finally entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel to start a new life.

Si Bin naturally wouldn't take Su Chen to line up, but led him directly around the Naiheqiao to the side of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel.

This was the shortcut to reincarnation.

Si Bin explained: "Ordinary reincarnation requires the judgment of the Ten Yama Kings, clearing the merits and demerits of their lives, and then judging their next destination based on their merits and sins."

"But your descendant's situation is special, with only a little true spirit left. So my lord specially approved to exempt him from all procedures and enter reincarnation directly."

Su Chen heard this, and understood in his heart.

It seemed that Si Bin went to that palace before to handle the relevant "special approval" procedures.

The Netherworld had its own rules; even if walking through the back door, the procedures had to be completed.

"Thank you." Su Chen said a solemn thank you to Si Bin.

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't be polite. You just need to release your descendant's true spirit, and the reincarnation power here will naturally guide him in." Si Bin said.

Su Chen nodded and took out the Soul-Nurturing Jade that was nourishing Li Chengqian.

With the urging of his magic power, a flash of light on the Soul-Nurturing Jade, and an illusory figure slowly floated out from the jade.

It was Li Chengqian's true spirit.

Perhaps because he had stayed in the Soul-Nurturing Jade for too long, his true spirit was more solid than before, already having an illusory body.

But his eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment; he had lost all memories.

He floated in mid-air, curiously looking at this strange world, and also saw Su Chen standing on the side.

There was not a ripple in his eyes; clearly, he no longer remembered who Su Chen was.

Su Chen looked at him like this, and his heart was also full of emotion.

That young man who was once high-spirited and ambitious now only had this true spirit left.

"Go."

Su Chen said to him: "Forget all the pain and unwillingness of this life, and go start a brand new life. I hope your next life can be born in a peaceful and prosperous age, safe and sound, happy and worry-free."

He urged his magic power to gently let Li Chengqian's true spirit approach the human path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Li Chengqian's true spirit went toward the human path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Just as Li Chengqian's true spirit was about to be sucked into the vortex, Si Bin reminded: "Fellow Daoist Su, there is one thing I need to tell you in advance."

"Entering reincarnation directly in a true spirit state, although he doesn't drink that Meng Po soup. But because his soul has dissipated, he will not have any memories of this life in his next life."

"Moreover, the true spirit is incomplete; wanting to re-condense the soul and reincarnate again might require a long time of gestation in reincarnation. Perhaps ten years, perhaps a hundred years, or even longer."

Su Chen heard this, looking at the figure about to enter the reincarnation wheel, and a smile appeared on his face.

"No matter."

He said softly: "As long as he can reincarnate, that's fine. As for the memories of this life, forgetting them might be a good thing for him."

Li Chengqian had experienced too much in this life; not carrying these heavy memories to reincarnate might be a kind of relief for him.

As Su Chen's voice fell, Li Chengqian's true spirit was finally completely swallowed by the vortex representing the human path and disappeared.

At this point, the cause and effect between Su Chen and Li Chengqian was ended.

Su Chen felt that his state of mind seemed to be much more relaxed, and his thoughts were clear.

"Alright, Lord Si, the matter is done, I won't stay any longer."

Su Chen cupped his hands toward Si Bin and turned to leave. ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
