Chapter 759: Always Listen to Your Master

Li Xingci stood relaxed outside the sect gate.

He glanced back at the staircase behind him and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, stepped into the sect.

Inside a dazzling celestial palace, the Golden Immortal seated in the main position looked at Li Xingci and smiled, saying, "My disciple, you cannot escape."

Seeing the familiar face, Li Xingci’s sealed memories flooded back instantly.

He looked at the Golden Immortal, who seemed as clingy as a sticky plaster, with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you keep pursuing me? You just want that one chance, don’t you?"

"Now that I understand your purpose, what use is it for you to take me as your disciple again?" Li Xingci replied.

Ever since he met the first reincarnation great being wanting to take him as a disciple in the reincarnation dream, several others had appeared afterward.

And this Golden Immortal was the one who had entangled him for the longest time.

"You brat, my purpose in taking you as a disciple is not that," the Golden Immortal shook his head.

"I can offer you my techniques, divine abilities, celestial inheritance, all you need to do is help me with one thing."

"Once you complete this task and reach that step, I can assist you," the Golden Immortal told Li Xingci, as if grasping the last straw in his life.

"Sorry, senior, I am powerless. Others have promised those benefits countless times, but I still say, I have a master, please stop bothering me," Li Xingci said as he attempted to end this cycle of rebirth.

"The partner you brought into this world seems to be in some trouble. If you want to resolve it, just come to me," the Golden Immortal replied, shaking his head with a hint of regret in his gaze.

"I have my master, and my wife will not face any issues," Li Xingci asserted, then ended his current cycle of rebirth.

This was the optimized version of the Cycle of Rebirth Technique, allowing him to exit the rebirth world when he faced insurmountable obstacles, at the cost of being unable to cultivate the Cycle of Rebirth Technique for five years.

Li Xingci slowly awakened and saw Li Chufan in front of his bed and Xu Fan leisurely sipping tea in the distance.

"Master, what happened to Tian’er just now?" Li Xingci asked.

"A fool tried to use your wife’s body as a medium to escape reincarnation, and I caught him and helped you restore your body," Xu Fan replied with a smile.

At that moment, Li Xingci sensed an unusual vitality in his soul and faintly felt a sense of impending breakthrough.

"Master, is Tian’er alright now?" Li Xingci quickly inquired.

"After waking up, the soul may be a bit weak, but these are all minor issues."

"Get two jars of Tianyang Wine from the treasury. Once you drink it all, your wife’s soul’s weakness will be resolved," Xu Fan said with a formal tone.

Li Xingci, however, was a bit confused; he had no idea what Tianyang Wine was for.

"Who drinks Tianyang Wine?" Li Xingci asked with curiosity.

"Of course, it’s you! You’re in a state of overflowing Soul Origin right now, so it will benefit you to cultivate with anyone at this moment," Xu Fan said before taking his grandson and leaving.

Li Chufan fell silent; he felt a bit embarrassed when Tianyang Wine was mentioned.

Although he had no partner, he understood what was implied.

"What’s there to be shy about? You’re over a thousand years old," Xu Fan said, smiling at Li Chufan.

Li Chufan scratched his head and laughed.

"I just wanted to remind you not to use the things your grandfather gave you carelessly, especially that peculiar mask—don’t wear it until you’ve reached the cultivation of a Great Ascension Master," Xu Fan cautioned.

Some time ago, his good brother caught an artifact-level mask while fishing. Wearing it could boost his strength by twenty percent, and without a second thought, he gave it to his grandson.

"Master Ancestor, is there something wrong with that mask?" Li Chufan quickly asked.

"That mask seems to be a symbol of a member from an interdimensional organization. If you wear it, you’ll have to accept their tasks. Your current strength is still low, and taking on those tasks could be dangerous," Xu Fan explained, having glanced at the mask earlier but not going into detail at the time.

"I understand, Master Ancestor," Li Chufan nodded.

In Xu Fan’s courtyard, he listened intently as Li Xingci recounted his experiences in the Cycle of Rebirth world.

"It’s like a stubborn sticker—impossible to shake off," Xu Fan said, frowning.

"Do you think Tian’er’s situation was orchestrated by that Golden Immortal?" Li Xingci asked.

"Don’t worry about that. It was just a coincidence—a true immortal’s spirit body escaped into your Cycle of Rebirth world. I’ve already searched its soul; it wasn’t sent by that Golden Immortal," Xu Fan replied, lounging on a recliner.

"It seems I need to refine the Cycle of Rebirth Technique further. Otherwise, how can you cultivate properly with that Golden Immortal constantly bothering you?" Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

"Master, so far, I’ve gone through seventy-eight cycles of rebirth. If I complete the remaining twenty-two, will I be able to ascend?" Li Xingci asked.

"You’ll meet the requirements for ascension, but you’ll still need to continue cultivating, though in a different way," Xu Fan explained.

"Could you share more details?" Li Xingci pressed, sensing there was more to the Cycle of Rebirth that his master hadn’t taught him yet.

"Does your senior brother, Xuandao, know about this?" Xu Fan asked.

"He does. Isn’t he the reincarnation of a great being?" Li Xingci nodded.

"He practices the Nine Turns Golden Immortal Technique, which is quite fascinating. That’s why I made some adjustments and integrated it into the Cycle of Rebirth Technique."

"First, you’ll need to advance to Great Ascension Master, then accompany me to the Immortal Realm, undergo the nine turns, and eventually unify to lay the foundation of the wide road."

"After that, your path will be clear. Golden Immortal? Great Luo? They won’t hold you back," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Great Luo Golden Immortal feels so distant. As long as I follow your guidance step by step, I’ll be fine," Li Xingci replied.

"You’re a good kid—easy to manage."

As Li Xingci prepared to leave, Xu Fan reminded him,

"Make sure to drink the Tianyang Wine on time; it’ll do you good."

Xu Fan’s words made Li Xingci pause.

Tianyang Wine could grant the strength of a dragon and tiger, but such power had to be properly released.

If not guided correctly, it could backfire and harm the drinker.

The internal fire burning within wasn’t something everyone could endure.

Inside Li Xingci’s cave dwelling, Su Rantian looked at him weakly, her gaze somewhat peculiar.

Meanwhile, Li Xingci hesitated, his eyes fixed on the jar of Tianyang Wine on the table.

"You still have the energy for this at a time like this? Isn’t that a bit strange?" Su Rantian’s voice was faint.

"Tian’er, do you think we can trust what Master says?" Li Xingci asked absently.

"Your master is your closest kin; he’d never harm you. What did he tell you?" Su Rantian replied, puzzled.

"He said drinking Tianyang Wine could help strengthen your weakened soul," Li Xingci said as he poured himself a bowl.

"Drink it. Master’s words are never wrong."

Her voice was weak, yet tinged with shyness.
