Chapter 313: The Truth of the Reincarnation Method

After hundreds of thousands of years, the former battlefield had long since changed its appearance.

The scenery of the past was gone; this land, once stained red with blood, was now covered in deep forests.

Ling Xuan sat on a bluestone, watching the forest birds and the butterflies; he coughed up blood, coughing incessantly, yet he never saw his old acquaintances.

The old acquaintances had not been resurrected either.

Ling Xuan walked through this former battlefield alone, his expression desolate.

He built a hut to live in, his face showing a hint of weariness.

【Age 787,252: You went to the burial place of Yunying.

Unfortunately, after nearly a million years of time, the tomb had long since returned to dust and earth, and the two Supreme Treasures, the River Map and the Luo Book, had also vanished without a trace.

You stayed for a few years before finally leaving.】

【Age 787,360: A hundred years passed; although you were incomparably powerful, your injuries were too severe, and your body was deteriorating day by day.

On a day of heavy snow, you were moved by your feelings and transformed everything you had learned in your life into a set of Samsara Fist Technique.

You practiced this set of fist techniques for three hundred days, eventually dying of exhaustion.

You ended your Legendary and lonely life.

After all, the loneliness of the strong is to walk across the universe and the primordial wilderness, yet have no old acquaintances left.

Looking back, the seas have turned into mulberry fields, and the events of the past have become smoke and clouds.

You died, unable to think of them again, and so there will be no one left to remember them.

You can miss them, but who can miss you?】

The snow fell for three hundred days without stopping, the entire land wrapped in silver, vast and desolate.

That figure finally fell to the ground, his body dissipating into tiny specks of light.

In the world, there was no longer a Ling Xuan.

In the Holy City, Lin Chao's gaze was profound.

"The final fist technique?"

The final fist technique was mysterious and profound.

The final Ling Xuan was incomparably powerful, and his realm was also incomparably deep.

However, compared to the mysterious woman Lin Chao encountered when he was hanging in the sky, he should be weaker.

But in the end, the fist technique Ling Xuan displayed before his death transcended his own realm.

"Did Ling Xuan really master the Samsara Fist Technique?"

Lin Chao frowned deeply.

He had a guess in his heart.

Ling Xuan finally displayed that fist technique, so... the God Generals of the Azure Army had a glimmer of a chance to revive.

"It's just that where Ling Xuan went during those hundreds of thousands of years in between is unknown."

Arriving at the Southern Heaven Domain, Lin Chao received the final Holy Spirit Baptism.

Unfortunately, the scene he saw was merely Ling Xuan returning to the Netherworld to spend the rest of his life.

This scene made Lin Chao feel very emotional.

He had experienced many such things himself.

He thought of the butterfly bird again.

When he was in Jiuzhou, he eventually fell; the butterfly bird was likely the same, accompanied by loneliness, with heaven and earth as a cage.

"No wonder Ling Xuan wanted to create the Reincarnation Method; I fear it wasn't just to resurrect the Azure Army.

In the hundreds of thousands of years that followed, he must have experienced many things and had countless regrets in his heart."

Lin Chao sighed.

To be honest, he was very interested in the Samsara Fist Technique that Ling Xuan displayed at the end.

Unfortunately, his current realm was too low, and he was completely unable to learn that set of fist techniques.

When dealing with the Outsider at the end, Ling Xuan's combat power, according to Lin Chao's estimation, had already reached the Main God Realm.

Returning after hundreds of thousands of years, his realm was even harder to fathom.

It must be said that Lin Chao had experienced so many worlds and seen countless geniuses, but none of them could compare to Ling Xuan in terms of talent.

Especially Ling Xuan's comprehension; it could be said to be terrifying.

Rain, reading books, watching flowers—all could lead to the comprehension of powerful techniques.

Every little detail in life gave him a sense of inspiration, allowing him to comprehend powerful techniques.

Even though Lin Chao possessed the Scholar's Heart talent, where the more knowledge he knew, the higher his talent and comprehension would be.

Compared to that Ling Xuan, he was still far behind.

"The books of the Tianfang Alliance record that to achieve the Ninth Stage Main God Realm, one needs to go through endless years.

It takes at least a million years to polish one's magic power and see through life and death before one can achieve the Ninth Stage Main God Realm.

The path Ling Xuan took was different, which is why his combat power could rival a Main God in just a thousand years."

This information was obtained by Lin Chao from Yusu.

The Tianfang Alliance was the Master of a Small Thousand World.

To become a Small Thousand World, one must have produced a Ninth Tier powerhouse.

Yusu's master was an Immortal Lord, so it was normal for Yusu to know this information.

"As for me now, two hundred and fifty-seven Qi-Blood Martial Dao techniques have already reached the Innate Realm.

My strength..."

Lin Chao clenched his fist.

The aura around his entire body was incomparably formidable.

Having arrived in the Inner World for several years, Lin Chao had almost completely slaughtered all the powerhouses of the Blood Clan.

So many Blood Crystals and God Positions allowed their Qi-Blood Martial Dao techniques to continuously break through.

Now, two hundred and fifty-seven techniques had broken through to the Innate Realm.

Added to that was the Holy Spirit Baptism.

Lin Chao asked himself, his strength was already comparable to Feng Yan when he dealt with the World-Extinguishing Buddha Lord back then.

He was only one step away from the Ninth Tier.

But his combat power was a large margin stronger than before.

That is to say, if he encountered a true Nine-Tier Main God, Lin Chao also had the strength to contend with them.

Of course, in terms of realm, he still had quite a large gap.

"Now, only the Qi-Blood Martial Dao technique representing me remains.

If I break through into it, I have a feeling I can enter the Ninth Tier directly."

Moreover, it would not be an ordinary Ninth Tier.

Even among the Ninth Tier, it would be an absolute powerhouse.

"But... what exactly is the Qi-Blood Martial Dao technique that represents me?"

Lin Chao pondered.

The Qi-Blood Martial Dao techniques he practiced were almost all self-created.

However, for the sole Qi-Blood Martial Dao technique that represented himself, Lin Chao still had no clue.

"Or perhaps... I should integrate all the Qi-Blood Martial Dao techniques and then walk a different path?"

"Or perhaps... Ling Xuan?"

If the Qi-Blood Martial Dao of those Innate Gods represented the God Generals.

Then, the Qi-Blood Martial Dao representing him was... Ling Xuan.

"Ling Xuan's technique."

Lin Chao frowned, recalling the technique Ling Xuan practiced.

The technique Ling Xuan practiced at the beginning was taught by an old Daoist.

But subsequently, while practicing, Ling Xuan continuously had insights and continuously perfected the technique.

It could be said that Ling Xuan's comprehension was extremely high; the martial arts he practiced were always being improved and perfected.

"It's a pity... I have only seen Ling Xuan having insights.

The technique he practiced... I have never truly seen it."

In the scenes seen during the Holy Spirit Baptism, Lin Chao was always an outsider.

Lin Chao did not know what the technique Ling Xuan practiced actually was.

If Ling Xuan truly represented him.

Then if Lin Chao wanted to cultivate the martial art representing himself to the Innate Realm, he must find the core of Ling Xuan's technique.

"Samsara!"

Suddenly, Lin Chao thought of something.

"Ling Xuan's entire life was spent pursuing the Reincarnation Method.

The Small Reincarnation Method, the Great Samsara Technique."

Lin Chao's gaze was profound.

The Samsara Fist Technique that Ling Xuan finally displayed in the snow was the Small Reincarnation Method that Ling Xuan had comprehended.

The Small Reincarnation Method, in Lin Chao's beginning, was resurrection.

That is to say, Ling Xuan gave these God Generals the possibility of resurrection.

But... what the key to it was, Lin Chao did not know.

And as for the Great Samsara Technique, Lin Chao had no clue at all.

"Samsara... resurrection... if I use this as the core to create a Qi-Blood Martial Dao technique and cultivate it to the Innate Realm... will the effect be the same?"

Lin Chao had a feeling.

Cultivating that technique to the Innate Realm was the opportunity for him to truly step into the Ninth Tier, and perhaps... it was also the opportunity for those God Generals of the past to revive.

"If it truly succeeds... doesn't that mean..."

Lin Chao's heart was stirred.

Even a true Main God could not make others return from the dead.

The most they could do was make another identical flower appear in this world, and others would also think it was still that same flower.

In reality, it was completely different.

"The key to resurrection... what exactly is it?"

Lin Chao sat in the Holy City, and the other City Lords had not come to find him.

He sat motionlessly for a hundred days.

His thoughts emptied.

He recalled his own life, and also recalled Ling Xuan's life.

He did not miss a single detail.

"The essence of a living being... what exactly is it?"

"The physical body?"

"The memories?"

"Matter?"

"Divine Soul?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Chao.

"Spirit!"

He suddenly thought of a serious matter.

All things have spirit.

All living beings have spirit.

The path of Immortal Cultivation begins with spirit.

The Path of God also begins with spirit.

The current cultivation systems, no matter what one cultivates or what methods one has,

their essence is all about cultivating the spirit, strengthening the spirit, and obtaining countless cultivation methods.

Yet the living beings of the Ling Xuan era did not cultivate spirit, but their own bodies.

Most importantly, the living beings of that era... had no spirit!

"The living beings of the past... had no spirit.

Their cultivation was not the cultivation of spirit!

Why is this!"

Lin Chao felt that he had hit upon a key point.

Current living beings mostly have spirit.

Of course, Lin Chao had also seen many who were spiritless.

Spirit is incomparably important to every living being.

Back then, Wei An had suffered a loss of spirituality.

Even though she was at the realm of a god, she remained in a deep, waking-less slumber.

In the end, it was only with the help of that drop of the dragon's fresh blood that Wei An truly awakened.

When Jia Xiangjun took the Longevity Pill, her mortal body gained a thousand years of lifespan, but it depleted her spirituality.

Even though Lin Chao later possessed powerful strength, he could not solve Jia Xiangjun's problem.

In the end, he could only use his own Essence Blood to make up for the deficiency of spirituality in Jia Xiangjun's body.

Only then was Jia Xiangjun able to continue living.

"If a living being loses spirit, they die... if spirituality is lost, the light result is a deep slumber, the heavy result is falling.

Even gods, and even the Main God, cannot escape this law.

But..."

Lin Chao suddenly discovered a terrifying reality.

A loss of spirituality is a problem that even the Main God cannot solve.

Why... could the dragon's fresh blood make up for spirituality?

His Essence Blood... could also make up for the lack of spirituality.

"Small Reincarnation Method!"

Lin Chao's gaze surged.

The Small Reincarnation Method must be related to spirit.

Many speculations arose in his heart.

There is a possibility that Ling Xuan is him.

The dragon... is also him.

The Small Reincarnation Method is a technique aimed at spirit.

It is precisely because he cultivated the Small Reincarnation Method that his Essence Blood can make up for the lack of spirituality in living beings.

This is also a kind of alternative... rebirth.

"During the time in Jiuzhou, I refined the Fen Kui Dan, and I succeeded forty-nine times.

Master Zimo once said that all things have one spirit, so the Fen Kui Dan can only succeed once.

Back then, I succeeded forty-nine times."

Lin Chao's gaze was deep.

He thought of something.

"There are too many things in the past, too chaotic.

Now, the most urgent task is to improve my own strength and cultivate that Qi-Blood Martial Dao technique that represents me to... the perfect realm."

Lin Chao left the Holy City.

Before leaving, he met the ninety-nine City Lords.

All the City Lords were willing to honor Lin Chao as the Human King to lead the Human Race.

Lin Chao had no interest in these matters.

The Blood Clan in the Inner World had been almost completely wiped out, and Lin Chao did not have much attachment left.

Now, what he was thinking about was creating that technique related to spirit.

In the end, Lin Chao went to Litian Holy City once and left the Inner World.

In the Inner World, there was no longer that person named Xu Ling.

However, the rumors about Xu Ling continued to spread.

"Inner World."

Looking at the spatial vortex ahead, Lin Chao let out a sigh.

His trip to the Inner World had been very fruitful; the cultivation techniques that originally would have required a vast amount of time to break through had all been advanced in less than three years.

His strength had been elevated to a terrifying realm.

In the Tianfang Small Thousand World, there were... not many people left who could threaten him.

"The Inner World... a dream of a yellow millet." Lin Chao sighed leisurely, entered the passage, and finally left the Inner World.

The Outer World.

Zhonglian Country.

Inside a Building, a figure in black revealed a look of greed on his face.

"I have finally broken through to an Upper-level Deity!"

Mojia felt joy in his heart.

He had been trapped at the Middle God realm for tens of thousands of years.

Now, having entered that world, he had broken through to an Upper-level Deity in just three years.

"I never expected that deep within this world, there would actually be an Undead Kingdom.

Within the Undead Kingdom, there are actually many God Positions.

It is a pity that although the Undead Kingdom is filled with deceased beings, there are many powerful ones among them."

The Undead Kingdom is a special kind of existence.

It is hailed as a world wonder.

The lives in the Undead Kingdom, or rather, they cannot be called lives.

They are a type of special life form.

Or rather... they are not life.

Some say the Undead Kingdom is a projection of the past.

Others say the Undead Kingdom is a continuation of those who have already passed away.

It and the real world are two different things.

As for what the Undead Kingdom truly is, even Ninth Tier powerhouses cannot specifically define it.

Otherwise, it would not be called a world wonder.

"It is a pity that one can only enter the Undead Kingdom once.

If one stays inside for too long, their Spirituality will grow dim, and they will sink into it."

Mojia felt some regret.

In this Undead Kingdom, he had discovered multiple God Positions.

This time, he was lucky; he entered the Undead Kingdom, stepped into a ruin, and harvested quite a few God Positions.

Originally, he had thought about hunting down more of the so-called Blood Clan to obtain more God Positions.

However, in the Undead Kingdom, he heard of a powerhouse who was wantonly causing slaughter, with countless Blood Princes falling.

He had once seen that terrifying figure from ten thousand miles away, and his heart had turned cold with fear.

He felt that the Undead Kingdom was not a place to stay for long.

With enough God Positions on his person, he left the Undead Kingdom and returned to the real world.

"It is time to leave the Ancient War Realm and return to the Evil God Alliance." Mojia muttered to himself.

As for those Buildings, they were nothing at all.

"However, before leaving, I could help Lang Heng by casually Slaying Qi Ping."

Originally, he did not want to help Lang Heng Slay the person by Yusu's side.

Now, as he prepared to leave, he could give it a try.

After all, he and Lang Heng might still cooperate in the future.
