Chapter 296: Moments of Reincarnation, the Era of Becoming True Immortals!
“Start preparing in advance; the next few decades will likely be turbulent.”
Yun Ye sighed and began to stockpile various cultivation resources.
The atmosphere in the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect remained as usual, with most cultivators unaware of the larger situation.
However, Yun Ye, now the first True Disciple of the San Cai branch, was part of the higher level and was well-informed about recent events.
In the past four years, the deaths of six great cultivators, all equivalent to the strength of Summit Masters, had caused a huge disgrace for the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, something they could not bear. Thus, the sect had already started mobilizing wartime supplies to Yuntian City.
As seasoned veterans who had been in conflict with the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect for almost a thousand years, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect was no pushover and had frequently launched sudden attacks to initiate a new round of warfare.
No one cared who struck first in the conflict between the two sects; the focus was on who could win and reap the benefits.
The war a century ago lasted for decades, resulting in numerous deaths among those at the law realms and even the Mystic Realm. Both sects required this.
Every large-scale conflict brought significant advancements in strength for both sects and substantial rewards, and regardless of assassination incidents, major battles were bound to erupt.
Therefore, there was no need for justification or to chase after reasons. Various Dao Systems in the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect seized this opportunity to turn the gears of an entire era.
“The great war is about to begin!”
“Xiang Ying, do you know why the two major sects have been at war, regardless of the Mystic Realm lives lost?”
Lan Wuyin sat high above Qushuang, concealed in the White Mist spirit energy, testing Yun Ye.
Yun Ye knelt on the cushion in the center of the hall, bowed his head and closed his eyes, responding, “The benefits are enough to entice Mystic Realm cultivators to risk everything for achieving True Immortal status.”
“Indeed, you are extremely insightful… What you said is correct. Unlike the resource competition imagined from the outside, the only thing that can drive the Mystic Realm to risk it all is the possibility of becoming a True Immortal!” Lan Wuyin nodded, acknowledging Yun Ye, who had passed through six trials—a true prodigy who saw through the essence of the problem.
“The Luo Dynasty consists of three states: Lozhou, Shuizhou, and our Huangzhou. Lozhou has the royal Holy Lineage, Shuizhou has the Pure World Holy Ground, while our Huangzhou only has two Spirit Sects and lacks any Holy Lineage, Holy Ground, or Holy Sect.”
“This is a significant flaw. If it is not addressed, Huangzhou will find it challenging to produce any cultivators who achieve True Immortal status. The millennium-long war between the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect aims to unify Huangzhou and restore the status of the Holy Sect.”
“Master, what do you mean by restoring?”
Yun Ye opened his eyes.
“The first purging war initiated by the Luo Holy Lineage led to the destruction of one Holy Ground. The remnants of this Holy Ground combined to form what is now the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, while the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect was merely a small sect during the Holy Ground period, seizing the opportunity to rise and then standing equal to my sect.”
“But without a doubt, everyone desires to lay claim to this land’s legitimacy. The objective of the two sects’ longstanding battles has always been to achieve unification. And this time, it may be the final battle.”
Lan Wuyin stated plainly. He wasn’t a participant from that era; he was born after the two sects established their strength and had little concept of the previous Holy Ground.
His pursuit of unification was solely because it presented a chance to attain True Immortal status.
“The final battle? Master, why do you say so?”
Yun Ye felt no imbalance in combat power; why would the millennium-long war suddenly culminate in a final battle during this period?
“You don’t understand the obvious. Time is limited. If the unification isn’t achieved in this final moment, even if it is completed later, it would be meaningless… This is the moment of the era’s reincarnation. The reason I strive to cultivate you all is so that you can contribute to the unification.”
“This time, even if all Mystic Realm cultivators perish, a victor must be determined; there will be no retreat for anyone. Xiang Ying, your time is running out. You must advance to the law realms within a hundred years and reach the peerless level, or you will have no qualification to participate in the final battle.”
Lan Wuyin stated firmly.
Yun Ye felt a chill in his heart; he understood that Lan Wuyin was dissatisfied with him only achieving the tenth stage of the Heavenly Path in four years, wishing him to sacrifice potential to hasten his cultivation level.
With Yun Ye’s current foundation, once he advanced to the law realms and attained perfection, he would be a genuine peerless figure in the law realms. That would be enough for Lan Wuyin to fulfill his plans.
“Master, achieving peerless status within a hundred years is not difficult for me. Please rest assured… Instead, I will guarantee to sweep through the law realms and become the number one law realm cultivator in Huangzhou within fifty years!”
Yun Ye displayed the arrogance of a prodigy, yet he spoke calmly and with grace.
"I hope so. The moments of reincarnation do not wait for anyone. At a fixed time and on a fixed stage, it will begin precisely. No matter who it is, even myself, I can only struggle with all my might… You need to understand the weight of this."
Lan Wuyin said lightly.
"I understand, Master!"
Yun Ye replied.
He felt a deep sense of confusion.
Is the moment of reincarnation similar to the worldly rules of the Qilin Rankings?
Why does it require unification to face it?
"The moments of reincarnation happen once every ten thousand years or so; it is not merely a cosmic rule, just a matter of time coming…"
"The time for the unified Dao device is here!"
Lan Wuyin saw through Yun Ye’s thoughts.
And with this statement, Yun Ye understood the situation.
The moments of reincarnation are not limited to just Huangzhou or the narrow changes of the Luo Dynasty.
This is an event that affects the entire Red Heaven realm, representing a moment of becoming a True Immortal!
The unification of Huangzhou is merely an opportunity, a qualification!
It signifies that the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect can join the celestial competition, cheer for the major powers, and share in the fruits of victory afterward!
True Immortal?
It goes beyond that. Unifying Huangzhou indeed offers a chance to become a True Immortal, but if one includes the merits of supporting the Celestial Empire, then even an Honored Position could be achieved!
"The Dao device is the instrument for becoming a True Immortal. Only when the reverb is gathered to an incomprehensibly vast level can the foundational requirements for becoming a True Immortal be met."
"Since the rise of the Path Lord to True Immortal status, ten thousand years have passed, and now the echoes have accumulated to a scale sufficient for becoming a True Immortal. This special moment is known as the ‘moments of reincarnation,’ and the whole Red Heaven realm must decide a victor to obtain the possibility of becoming a True Immortal."
"We in Huangzhou are merely one third of the Luo Dynasty’s power and have no chance to participate in the competition for True Immortals, but simply obtaining a few positions as True Immortals in the Celestial Empire would be more than enough… And this privilege is exclusive to those who unify Huangzhou."
The conversation ended there.
Yun Ye departed.
He did not ask what would happen if Huangzhou made the wrong choice.
With the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect still struggling to unify Huangzhou, that question was entirely meaningless.
“Moments of reincarnation, cycles of reincarnation…”
These two concepts are quite similar, just vastly different in scope.
When he was in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, Thunder True Feather mentioned that it was not a good time, and being born at the wrong time likely referred to the impending arrival of the moments of reincarnation, right?
For those truly powerful forces in the Red Heaven realm, it indeed represents an opportunity to attain True Immortal status, a day of liberation after enduring countless years of hardship.
But for the vast majority, no, one should say for everyone except a few, it is merely a calamity, a desperate struggle for survival…
