Chapter 336: Reincarnation

Lu Ye understood!

It seemed the folks in the Netherworld were truly panicking, but one thing was for sure: they had an eye for talent, managing to find him.

If the Netherworld wanted to rise, they were going to have to face the Reincarnation Celestial Lord in the future.

Lu Ye wasn’t sure if the betrayal of the eight Empresses had anything to do with the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

But no one could just casually take the Reincarnation Obsession without alerting the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

What role the Reincarnation Celestial Lord actually played was still up for debate.

Right now, the Netherworld was making a move to be friendly.

The Bridge of Regret was undoubtedly the best way to experience and understand reincarnation in this world.

Lu Ye nodded.

“Well then, I’ll need your help.”

Daoist Chu Jiang looked pleasantly surprised.

Was Lu Ye really willing to take on this karmic debt?

Didn’t he realize that doing so could result in facing the Reincarnation Celestial Lord in the future?

He surely knew that.

So, what did that mean?

It meant Lu Ye wasn’t afraid of the Reincarnation Celestial Lord at all.

“Good, good, good!”

Such a solid ally, especially one yet to fully mature, was not something you just stumbled upon!

To be able to assist while the ally was still relatively weak—that kind of opportunity was rare.

In this situation, what could bad luck even mean?

Even if they shut the doors right after helping, Daoist Chu Jiang felt it was worth it.

“Fellow Daoist, please!”

“This is a Divine Object from the Netherworld, called the Soul-Settling Stone. Please wear it; possessing this will basically ensure you won’t lose yourself during reincarnation.”

“I won’t need that.”

Lu Ye chuckled and declined; with such a strong resolve, how could he possibly lose himself?

“This is the Soul-Protecting Incense. You can use it to safeguard your soul. Please don’t refuse. We’re not going to get much use out of these items, so now is the perfect time to let you use them.”

“And this is the Mind Mirror. It can make your reincarnation smarter, making you ahead of the game right from the start!”

“And this is…”

Lu Ye noticed the Netherworld’s current situation was indeed quite dire.

This wasn’t just about forming good karma; they were practically licking boots at this point.

Didn’t they know? Bootlickers end up with nothing at the end!

If it hadn’t been for Lu Ye, who knows how others might have looked down on the Netherworld due to their current attitude.

“Alright, alright, just the Book of Life and Death is enough. I can pick a few more random items,” Lu Ye said, half amused and half exasperated.

“Sure, Fellow Daoist, take your pick!”

The Netherworld was in the Seventh Heaven. Originally, when the Nine Heavens were just established, they were in the Eighth Heaven, hoping to progress to the Ninth Heaven.

But then the Six Paths of Reincarnation came out.

The Netherworld quietly moved away from the Eighth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, which finally stabilized their situation.

They thought, staying far from the Six Paths of Reincarnation would mean they could maybe get a sip of soup if the Six Paths ate meat!

But now? They couldn’t even get a whiff of that soup!

Lu Ye casually picked a few treasures.

The Book of Life and Death flew over. Lu Ye still hadn’t reached the level of True Spirit, so his soul suddenly split in two, with the main and secondary souls separating.

“Keep an eye on this!”

Lu Ye sent his secondary soul towards the Book of Life and Death.

With the Book of Life and Death in hand, his reincarnation was basically foolproof; after all, it was a Chaos Treasure meant just for protecting a soul—easy as pie.

Lu Ye stood on the Bridge of Regret, with the River of Forgetfulness below already swirling in a whirlpool.

This was the true essence of reincarnation.

Lu Ye would become a different person, living his own life.

After death, his soul would be guided back here by the Book of Life and Death to reincarnate again.

“Everyone, I’m off!”

With that, Lu Ye’s aura surged, successfully breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm, and his soul leaped down into the whirlpool.

The people from the Netherworld on the Bridge of Regret looked on at this scene.

“Hope everything goes smoothly!”

Just as those words fell, the Book of Life and Death shone with brilliance.

Lu Ye’s soul reappeared, showing a slightly awkward expression on his face.

“Fellow Daoist, what’s wrong?” Daoist Chu Jiang asked anxiously.

Lu Ye sighed, “Stillborn…”

The expressions of everyone couldn’t help but become serious for a brief moment, their lips tight, um…

These things didn’t come around often.

Daoist Chu Jiang consoled, “Being stillborn isn’t too bad; at least he was reincarnated as a person.”

Little did he know, after saying that, Lu Ye’s expression darkened even more.

Although he didn’t know what he had been reincarnated into, he was certain it wasn’t human.

No one had hooves!

Taking a deep breath.

Lu Ye dove back into reincarnation once more.

Someone couldn’t hold it and broke into a grin.

Just as they were about to speak, the Book of Life and Death moved again, and Lu Ye reappeared.

Everyone was like???

Lu Ye sighed, “Nothing to worry about, let’s try again.”

“Maybe you should wait a bit? You still have bad luck on you; even if you get reincarnated, it probably won’t turn out well.”

“No need, I’m good with what I know!”

Lu Ye’s figure vanished again.

It was so fast, barely three seconds had passed before Lu Ye reappeared, not wasting any words, just continued reincarnating.

He thought to himself, this isn’t so bad.

This Reincarnation Realm was all about understanding true meaning through continuous reincarnation; it was mainly a process, and sometimes a life could last a long time.

Causing a person’s spirit to nearly split apart.

Now it was better; dying meant immediate reincarnation, and reincarnating meant dying again, without any dragging of feet.

It was truly an opportunity to experience reincarnation to the fullest.

Finally, once again, Lu Ye didn’t come back immediately, and the strong ones in the Netherworld could barely hold in their laughter any longer.

Once you had one, more would follow.

Soon, everyone was unable to stifle their chuckles, and the entire Bridge of Regret was filled with a jovial atmosphere.

Just as a few bursts of laughter erupted.

A huge booming voice rang out.

“I said I’d be coming back, Netherworld, I’m giving you one last chance: hand over the Other Shore Flower now!”

The smiles on everyone’s faces vanished.

Here we go again!

The Netherworld might be down and out, but they had never let anyone bully them so openly—this was straight-up robbery!

So they fought!

In an instant, a more ferocious battle erupted.

Daoist Chu Jiang was a figure of Quasi-Emperor level, but the Ascetic Master was also a Quasi-Emperor, and since Daoist Chu Jiang’s Dao relied on the Netherworld, if the Netherworld were strong, he’d be fearless like the lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation against the Great Emperors.

But now that the Netherworld was weak, just maintaining his Quasi-Emperor fighting strength was good enough.

At this moment, Lu Ye was born into a body suffering from a grave illness, barely clinging to life; it wasn’t due to his reincarnation that he fell ill, but simply because he had reincarnated into a sickly body.

However, through death and reincarnation over and over, Lu Ye’s soul began to quickly solidify.

The heavens and earth changed in his eyes.

Each reincarnation was a strengthening, but also a mental fatigue.

In his last life, he had undergone two thousand illusions, nearly drowning in them without escape.

How many times could he reincarnate this time in true reincarnation?
