Chapter 650: My Stone from Another Mountain

“My name is Ouyang Xiao Yi, and I cultivate on the shore of the Eastern Sea in the Heavenly Realm. The year Jiang Yi’s black peonies bloomed particularly vividly, I sat on the Luosheng Stone, pondering the Six Paths, when suddenly I felt uneasy.”

“Among us Reversed Demons, all surnames are arranged in order, and my surname, Ouyang, is at the end of the second tier, hence I am called Ouyang Xiao Yi.”

“That was the first time in my life I saw a lower realm cultivator. I didn’t know his name, but anyone who could come to the Heavenly Realm from the lower realm is certainly not a nobody!”

“I recognized the traces of the Six Paths on him. Although I acted disdainful in front of Lu Jia San and Jiang Yi regarding his achievements in the Six Paths, I was actually filled with shock inside.”

“I was born only to cultivate, working towards resisting the cataclysm of heaven and earth hundreds of years later! But when I first laid eyes on him and sensed his aura of the Six Paths, I immediately realized that the Six Paths require reincarnation; the Six Paths without reincarnation are incomplete.”

“What to do? Can this stone from another mountain be my guide? Is he my stone from another mountain?”

“He ran away. Seemingly weak, yet crafty, he managed to escape into the Dragon Palace, a place where many seniors have tried and failed. There lies a terrifying Departed Immortal.”

“Have I thus lost my chance to prove the Dao? Fortunately, Lu Jia San took this matter seriously and summoned an earth-level elder to breach the Crystal Palace’s secret realm, giving me a glimmer of hope.”

“Hmph, clearly just a Human Path Legal Form, yet he proved to be quite troublesome. I wonder what sort of benefits he received from the treasure vault, as he could instantly seal off his soul’s aura, preventing me from seeing his face.”

“His true form must be very handsome, and his Dao Principles profound, with the deeper flavor of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Talisman methods are undervalued among the Reversed Demons, yet he has a broad future.”

“No, what’s wrong with me? I shouldn’t be thinking about these useless things. He is my chance to prove the Dao; I need to dig out the Human Path Legal Form to trace his true whereabouts.”

“He ran away again; that outrageous lower realm cultivator! Why does he always manage to find gaps and seize fleeting opportunities to escape? The Lu Jia San I have always respected fell during the pursuit, and four earth-level elders did not return. However, luckily, the strongest earth-level elder returned as a big-shot Reversed Demon.”

“Because of him, our Reversed Demons on the Eastern Sea suffered unprecedented losses. Several big-shot Reversed Demons emerged from their recluses to begin deducing his whereabouts. Yet, despite all methods used, they could only deduce that he obtained a precious treasure in the Crystal Palace; with this treasure guarding him, he would be hard to find again.”

“The big-shot Reversed Demons gave up; they had many important matters to attend to. Other Reversed Demons also lost interest in the matter, but I continued to endeavor, relying on my sensitivity to the Six Paths to pursue him.”

“Two hundred years slipped away in vain. To seek him, my cultivation made no progress at all, so Ouyang Xiao Yi remains Ouyang Xiao Yi, while several younger generations have surpassed me, and some seniors have fallen.”

“Now, Jiang Yi’s peonies are flourishing more than ever. Oh, he doesn’t go by Jiang Yi anymore but by Jiang Jia Da now. He said he doesn’t like that name and that Jiang Yi sounds better. Next month, he plans to break through to the earth-level in the secret realm but is worried about his flower garden, so he asked me to take care of it for twenty years. If he fails in twenty years, he’ll burn all the black peonies to send him off…”

“In these twenty years, I did not seek that stone from another mountain who cultivates the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It wasn’t until eighteen years later that I learned Jiang Yi had severed his path a hundred years ago; he can’t possibly become an earth-level cultivator. To help me think calmly in the garden, he preferred to enter the secret realm early.”

“Perhaps… what he wanted me to look after wasn’t the flower garden, but myself…”

“I fulfilled my promise and took care of the flower garden for twenty years. When the time was up, I burned the garden and left. This is indeed the fate of the Reversed Demons; in their lifetime, they must go against certain things. Meditating for twenty years did not allow me to forget him; rather, my impression deepened.”

“In the following fifty years, I descended to the lower realm searching for the Extreme Huan Time Anchor, using it to browse through the histories of various continents to track along the timeline.”

“Finally, in a ruin on the Nine-Mystic Continent, I saw Li Sifan through the Extreme Huan Time Anchor, tracing clues to find the Hao Family.”

“If I’m not mistaken, this arrogant fellow put other Six Paths Legal Forms in Mufeng City, yet his aura remains deeply concealed; even if one gets close, it is indiscernible.”

“I spent five years trying to enter the Ancient Tomb of Mufeng City, but this city is terrifying. I sustained heavy injuries during several attempts, which made me realize the truth—he protects himself very well. Even big-shot Reversed Demons would not be certain of entering the Ancient Tomb.”

“Where is he? All these years have passed, and he has not returned to Mufeng City.”

“Could it be that he is no longer here? Then have my two hundred eighty years of efforts turned into nothing?”

“No, it can’t be like that. I resolved to employ the supreme secret techniques, pouring all my energy into burning my life to transcend and be reborn. Like a reincarnation, let me be reborn and see him, to see my stone from another mountain…”

On the Extreme Huan Continent, by Fragrant Lake in Sanjiu City.

As night fell, Li Hui held Bai Xiaolu’s hand, strolling in the warm breeze. Many stars twinkled in the sky, as if watching this little couple.

“Do you say I’m the reincarnation of that female demon Ouyang Xiao Yi?” Bai Xiaolu was still in shock; why did her husband say she was the reincarnation of an enemy? What kind of enemy reincarnates to marry their foe? This… this is too bizarre.

Li Hui did not conceal much, believing that getting straight to the point was also a way to break the deadlock.

“Wife, don’t be anxious. Right now, you are like the heart of Dao cultivated into demons; you won’t explode until your wish is fulfilled. So, for now, you are still Bai Xiaolu. As long as you bury your inner demons, perhaps you will never become Ouyang Xiao Yi in this lifetime.”

“Ah! Husband knows this? Have you remembered your past life?” Bai Xiaolu, very clever, calmed down at this moment, quickly grasping the key point.

“Indeed, just like reincarnation, the true body is not here. We are fated to be husband and wife, so I believe we should be honest with each other. When I sensed a trace of the Reversed Demons’ Six Paths fluctuation on you, I immediately became alert.” Li Hui still held back; he did not know if Yang Jiuzhen was Ouyang Xiao Yi reincarnated. In that moment, if he pressed the issue, would there still be Yang Jiuzhen in three hundred years? He was equally uncertain.

“Then… what should we do?” Bai Xiaolu lost her composure; she had only Li Hui to rely on, pouring all her thoughts into her husband, experiencing such a dilemma, she truly did not know what to do.

“Three hundred years have passed quietly. I didn’t expect that Ouyang Xiao Yi stepped into this earlier to wait for me. To be honest, she succeeded and has already created karmic burdens, and the impact is immeasurable.” Li Hui sighed: “I am her stone from another mountain; she wants to hone herself using me.”

“I… I still can’t imagine what kind of enemy would do that.” Bai Xiaolu shook her head repeatedly.

Li Hui said: “There are no enemies without gathering. Grudges are ties; gratitude is a bond; sins also create connections. Under the entanglement of cause and effect, emotional ties arise, and if I were to kill you now, I would only fulfill her, which is an unsolvable situation. What a brilliant move; I am her stone from another mountain, and she is my stone from another mountain. Perhaps… perhaps this is Yin-Yang, belonging to the Yin-Yang of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”
