Chapter 284: The Wheel of Rebirth Emperor
When Ji Xiaoyu looked at him with a questioning gaze, Gu An naturally agreed.
Then, the three of them found a room in an inn and sat down. Gu An chose a seat on the second floor near the window, a spot he enjoyed for chatting and watching the people pass by on the street below.
Qie Wu Xing glanced at Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu, then held his teacup and looked at the surface of the tea, saying, "Though we are meeting for the first time, I can sense that this young lady has an innate Dao symbol within her. In a way, you and I are old acquaintances, as one of your past lives once associated with me."
He then looked at Gu An and then at Ji Xiaoyu, not quite sure of their relationship, so he spoke cautiously.
Gu An saw through his concerns and said, "Feel free to speak, Dao friend. She is also curious about her past life."
Ji Xiaoyu nodded and asked, "How long ago was that?"
Qie Wu Xing’s face broke into a smile, and he sighed, "It should be nearly twenty thousand years ago."
Twenty thousand years?
Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu’s faces changed with shock. Gu An was only pretending to be surprised, while Ji Xiaoyu was genuinely shocked, as the Ji family’s known history did not stretch back twenty thousand years.
"Who were you twenty thousand years ago, and why are you here at the TaiXuan Gate?" Ji Xiaoyu asked warily.
Gu An could sense that Qie Wu Xing had already cast a spell to prevent other guests from overhearing their conversation.
Qie Wu Xing replied, "To be honest, I came to the TaiXuan Gate for you. I can sense that you have reincarnated. In terms of status, I must respectfully call you a senior. Back then, if not for your intervention, I would have ceased to exist long ago."
Speaking of the past, his face was full of sentiment, his eyes distant, as if his thoughts had drifted back to a distant past.
Ji Xiaoyu frowned and asked, "Why would I reincarnate?"
Qie Wu Xing said, "I only know that you went through tribulations, but you were not forced to reincarnate out of hatred. You can rest assured that no one in this world can harm you. I even consider you the strongest person I have ever known."
This surprised Gu An, as he had been to the Divine Anomaly City and had seen Qie Wu Xing in action. Even so, Qie Wu Xing still believed that one of Ji Xiaoyu’s past lives was even stronger.
It seemed that during the last visit to the Seven Star Spirit Realm, the innate Dao symbol had not yet unleashed its true power, but it had been enough for Ji Xiaoyu to take revenge.
Qie Wu Xing continued to recount Ji Xiaoyu’s strength in that life.
In that life, Ji Xiaoyu was known as the Wheel of Rebirth Emperor. They had only met once, but because of the Wheel of Rebirth Emperor’s kindness, Qie Wu Xing had always wanted to repay the favor. It was only recently that he regained his freedom.
He did not reveal his true identity, as the title of the Divine Anomaly Ghost King had spread across the world, and he knew his reputation was not good.
From Qie Wu Xing’s words, Ji Xiaoyu could only understand how powerful she once was, but the mystery of the Wheel of Rebirth remained unsolved.
She looked at Qie Wu Xing and asked, "What do you need from me? What can I help you now?"
She was on high alert, worried that Qie Wu Xing might want to kill her and force her past self to appear.
Gu An had been listening silently, noting the name of the Wheel of Rebirth Emperor, preparing to investigate further when he next visited the Immortal Island.
Twenty thousand years was a long time for mortals, but for great cultivators, it was not much, especially since the world’s wandering immortals and celestial flying immortals had all experienced the era before the fall of the Wheel of Rebirth Emperor.
Qie Wu Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "A great calamity that will affect all living beings is about to erupt. At the time, many oceans and continents will be destroyed, including the one where you are. I, too, will be deeply involved and unable to escape. The Wheel of Rebirth Emperor has a power that can free me, and even if it means reincarnation, I am willing."
Gu An was taken aback by these words.
According to Qie Wu Xing, the Divine Anomaly Overlord might die. Why would an entity opposing the Divine Anomaly Overlord want to destroy all life?
He had always felt that the Divine Anomaly’s appearance was not coincidental, and the Divine Anomaly Overlord was clearly wary of something. Otherwise, with the Divine Anomaly Overlord’s power, he could easily sweep away all invaders.
"But I am not the Wheel of Rebirth Emperor..." Ji Xiaoyu hesitated.
Qie Wu Xing waved his hand. "You don’t need to worry. I am not here to force you to help me now. When the great calamity arrives, no one will be able to protect themselves. At that time, you will surely awaken your original consciousness, as long as you still remember me."
Ji Xiaoyu’s frown deepened after hearing this.
Qie Wu Xing looked at Gu An and said, "It’s best to keep this a secret. Not only the TaiXuan Gate, but even the great powers of the sea cannot prepare in advance. It’s better to let the cultivators here enjoy their current lives, rather than cause a panic and bring the calamity ahead of time."
Gu An nodded. "I understand. I just want to know when the calamity will erupt. If it’s after a few hundred years, then I will be at ease."
Qie Wu Xing laughed, suddenly finding this little cultivator at the core formation stage to be quite perceptive.
Ji Xiaoyu couldn’t help but shoot Gu An a look, but she had to admit that Gu An’s question had relieved a lot of the pressure in her heart.
"It could be a few decades or a few hundred years. The entities behind this are unimaginable. I can only say that when the oceans begin to rise, it will mark the arrival of the calamity."
Qie Wu Xing’s answer made Ji Xiaoyu frown again.
After saying this, he stood up. "That’s all I have to say. I won’t disturb you two any longer."
He raised his hand in a salute and then left.
As he left the floor, the invisible restriction vanished.
Gu An turned to Ji Xiaoyu and smiled, "You really have a big reputation. I'll never joke around with you again."
Ji Xiaoyu huffed, "Aren't you joking now?"
"What do you think after hearing his words?"
"I'm not happy," Ji Xiaoyu said calmly, her tone devoid of emotion. "Though I had long suspected that the Third Miss you mentioned was the same person as me, I never truly wished my guess to be true. Now, learning more about my identity, I'm even less happy."
Gu An looked at her, his eyes taking on a subtle expression.
In his daily life, he subconsciously treated this life's Ji Xiaoyu as the same person from her previous life, despite their different personalities. To him, they were the same person.
Yet, different memories and experiences shaped different individuals, even if the soul remained the same.
What made a person was just one aspect of their soul.
Gu An consoled her, "If you're unhappy, focus on cultivation. Make this life longer, or even achieve enlightenment."
Ji Xiaoyu shook her head, "I won't achieve enlightenment. I'll die sooner or later. I cultivate only to make this life longer and experience more. My frequent pestering of you is just to make this life more fulfilling."
She paused, then smiled, "Besides, you can only live for a few centuries. Why comfort me? It's fine. Even if I'm unhappy, I'm willing to accept this fact."
Accept it, really?
Gu An didn't press the matter. He then called Xiao Er and ordered a fine meal, and they began to talk about the Alchemy Conference.
Ji Xiaoyu's attention shifted, and the two of them seemed to have forgotten their conversation with Qie Wuxing.
...
The Alchemy Conference finally concluded. The first-place winner was a cultivator from overseas, a disciple of the Purple Pill Palace. This was the first time TaiXuan Gate disciples learned of the Purplepill Palace, and this ancient alchemy sect brought many alchemy techniques to the conference.
The Purplepill Palace also offered to take a batch of TaiXuan Gate disciples to cultivate alchemy at the Purplepill Palace, which thrilled the entire TaiXuan Gate.
What Gu An paid most attention to was still Qie Wuxing. This guy was still at TaiXuan Gate and had even officially become an inner disciple.
Except for Gu An, no one knew his true cultivation level.
Even the Divine Heart Son and Nine-Fingered Divine Lord couldn't see through his details. By the time summer ended, Qie Wuxing was already a regular visitor to the Third Medicine Valley's Chess District.
One day,
Gu An had just returned from the Northern Sea Mountains and went back to the Mystic Valley to discuss valley matters with Lu Jiujia.
He suddenly felt a strong battle aura coming from afar.
From the Broken Sea Rift!
This power surpassed even the heavenly immortals!
It seemed the Divine Realm Lord might have acted.
It seems Qie Wuxing's words might have been true.
"Alright, I'll consider it. When the time comes, I'll discuss it with the sect. We'll expand the Mystic Valley," Gu An nodded.
Lu Jiujia immediately smiled. Gu An shared the Mystic Valley's profits with him every year, and the larger the Mystic Valley, the more he would benefit.
Since starting to cultivate the Dao-Yan technique, Lu Jiujia had reignited his fighting spirit and needed a lot of herbs.
Gu An suddenly remembered something and said, "I'll release my cultivation level by the end of this year. I'll take all the pills I can."
Lu Jiujia frowned and asked, "Why? Can't you wait a bit longer?"
Why?
Because you can only live for 190 years!
Gu An didn't reveal this fact but said, "I've obtained a higher-level heart technique. I'll pass it to you when the time comes, and you can lift your cultivation level multiple times."
Lu Jiujia, hearing this, was immediately delighted and quickly agreed.
Gu An patted his shoulder and left.
Lu Jiujia began to envision the transformation he would undergo after lifting his cultivation restrictions.
Gu An arrived at the Third Medicine Valley and headed to the Chess District.
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord faced his opponent again: Qie Wuxing.
Qie Wuxing, mastering the rules of Go, quickly dominated the TaiXuan Gate chess scene. The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, unable to see through his hidden cultivation, was quite frustrated.
Of course, in the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's mind, Qie Wuxing was no ordinary person. Gu An's background was easy to investigate, after all, he entered TaiXuan Gate at fifteen and had been a Ji family servant in his youth, which couldn't be hidden. But Qie Wuxing was different, coming from overseas.
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked up at Qie Wuxing, feeling vexed.
Who is this guy, really?
Qie Wuxing smiled and waved his fan, unbothered by the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's suspicion. With his cultivation level, it was impossible for the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord to see through him.
In the entire TaiXuan Gate, he feared only one person: Dao Sword Venerable. It seemed Dao Sword Venerable had already accepted him, as long as he didn't cause trouble.
"I lost," the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord sighed deeply.
He had lost to Qie Wuxing six times, feeling utterly humiliated.
The crowd cheered, making him even more depressed.
Qie Wuxing stood up, smiling, "To celebrate this victory, should I teach everyone a protective technique?"
The disciples were even more delighted, their cheers drawing the attention of distant disciples.
