However, unbeknownst to others, on this ordinary day, the Witch God Sect Leader, together with the powers of Heaven following Hou Tu, the Emperor of Earth, as well as the Witch God Ju Mang and Wu Shijiu and Zhu Jiuyin of the Witch God Sect, quietly arrived at Shenxiao Mountain and secretly visited the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
“My guests have traveled far; I apologize for not having greeted you from a distance.” Pei Xuanjing held the Jade Ruyi in his hands, his lips curling into a smile as he looked at the four individuals before him.
“The Church Master presumes to visit unannounced, and I hope the Taoist Monarch will forgive me,” the Witch God Sect Leader said with a smile.
“We have seen the Taoist Monarch,” the other three accorded with the same respectful address.
At the Realm Pei Xuanjing had reached, only established True Immortals like the Witch God Sect Leader could afford to adopt somewhat of a 'Taoist Friend' stance in his presence.
The other True Immortals, who ascended after the process of Enthroning Gods, were effectively juniors on the Immortal Dao Path to Pei Xuanjing, hence their attitude towards him was distinctly different.
Of course, all of this was merely their own thoughts and perceptions, which were fundamentally unimportant to Pei Xuanjing; he did not care for such matters.
His gaze fell upon the Witch God Sect Leader and his company, silently waiting for them to reveal the purpose of their visit.
“We wish to open up the Yin Department, to forge the cycle of Reincarnation!”
The Witch God Sect Leader did not beat around the bush, bluntly stating their purpose.
Though already at his Realm, these words caused even Pei Xuanjing to give a slight sideways glance at their mention.
No wonder–the words Yin Department and Reincarnation held too much significance, or rather, they pertained to all beings and things within the heavens and earth that cannot achieve Longevity.
From the moment creatures are born and step onto the Cultivation path in pursuit of the chance for Longevity, the likelihood of truly attaining Immortality is incredibly slim.
In the countless eons of this world, up to now, only about thirty-odd individuals, by virtue of the ascension support from both realms and with the perfection of the Enthronement, could be considered true foot-holders of the strength of True Immortals and thus as having achieved Longevity. And this number of True Immortals does not even exceed fifty when including those from the Demon Race.
Since the Great Ming World's inception in Ancient Times, the number of beings pursuing Cultivation is beyond measure, even those Innate Gods and Demons with lengthy lives, but still, they do not achieve Longevity.
Even though numerous human race True Immortals initiated the process of Enthronement, and subsequent Sealed God Positions with later cultivators living symbiotically with Heaven and Earth via the Divine Positions, compared to the innumerable Cultivators of the human race, those who have been granted Divine Positions are but a drop in the ocean.
And it must be understood that the number of Divine Positions is not infinite; the Heaven and Earth's carrying capacity also restricts the number of Divine Positions.
If it becomes impossible to continue ascending and becoming stronger within the Great Ming World, and Divine Positions were to be continued to be granted indiscriminately, it would one day become a burden on Heaven and Earth, affecting its operations and growth.
Therefore, for the majority of Cultivators, even after becoming Gods, Longevity still remains an elusive matter.
The concept of Reincarnation has always circulated among Heaven and Earth and been sought by many Cultivators.
Many who lack the aptitude and comprehension to proceed further on the path of Cultivation hold the hope that through being Reincarnation reborn, they might encounter the chance to step onto the Cultivation path again and truly set foot upon the Immortal Dao, becoming Immortal and Indestructible.
However, at its core, the concept of Reincarnation is far too profound–even for True Immortal Strong who have stepped onto the path of Immortality, Reincarnation remains something they cannot truly touch.
Although Pei Xuanjing, with the aid of the Life Simulator, brushed against what seemed like the place of the legendary Six Paths of Reincarnation during a simulation of life, when he truly returned from the simulation and sought out the whereabouts of Reincarnation, he found nothing at all.
Even deep into the earth, down to the depths of the Nine Netherworld, Pei Xuanjing had ventured, yet still did not uncover anything useful, as if Reincarnation had never existed at all.
As the Pioneer of the Longevity World, holding the Heavenly Path of the Longevity World in his grasp, Pei Xuanjing also searched the entire realm, never discovering the location of Reincarnation.
Upon death, the True Spirits of those creatures from the Longevity World transformed into fundamental particles, then inexplicably were born again.
This process, even for someone like him – a Profound Immortal who had truly ascended to True Immortality three times – was unfathomable.
Reincarnation, does it truly exist?
Is it that there is truly no existence of Reincarnation, or is his current Realm still not high enough to touch the mysteries of Reincarnation?
“`
All of this, even now, Pei Xuanjing cannot be certain.
Now, to hear the Witch God Sect Leader and a few others come to see him, and to open their conversation with the intention to open the Yin Department and forge reincarnation, it undoubtedly surprised Pei Xuanjing greatly.
His gaze moved from the body of the Witch God Sect Leader and settled on Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Witch God.
This Time Demon God who had returned from ancient times, had he detected some secret in the River of Time?
This was the thought that rose in his mind.
Ancient times are so distant from the present that it's unknown how long has passed since then, and how exactly these God-Devils have made their return.
The return of these ancient God-Devils was not a simple matter of self-sealing to preserve their lives and elevate themselves to resist the changes brought by the years.
Among these returned God-Devils, not all maintained their original God-Devil bodies; instead, some had incarnated as bodies of the human race. They all possessed pure human bloodlines, which was unquestionable.
So what exactly enabled them to do so?
Could it really be because of reincarnation?
“It's heard that the Taoist Monarch possesses a wondrous object known as: Page of the Netherworld's Book,” Zhu Jiuyin spoke proactively.
Hmm?
Page of the Netherworld's Book.
Hearing these words, Pei Xuanjing's eyes shone with keenness, his mind deep in thought.
The Page of the Netherworld's Book originated when Pei Xuanjing was still in the era of the Great Ming Empire, fighting against strong beings from the Yin Department, and ultimately seized the item.
In the beginning, these pages had provided Pei Xuanjing with considerable Taoyun, significantly aiding his strength during that time, allowing him to overcome many crises.
However, as Pei Xuanjing grew stronger, even if he continued to acquire more pages, the attached value of the Taoyun on them was but a drop in the bucket compared to the vast amount of Taoyun he needed each time he used the Life Simulator.
Initially, when Pei Xuanjing was researching the concept of reincarnation, he also carefully examined the Page of the Netherworld's Book, hoping to gain some insight from it.
Yet in the end it was fruitless; he gained nothing from the pages.
Combining the information he obtained from texts and his own research, in the end, Pei Xuanjing could only confirm that the so-called Netherworld Book was an exaggeration, and that it was more akin to the Divine Artifact he initially created, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, following the Enthronement by the Divine Dynasty.
“Was the Netherworld Book cast by ancient demons and gods?” Pei Xuanjing asked tentatively and inquisitively.
Zhu Jiuyin shook his head and said, “Not so, the Netherworld Book was not cast by ancient demons and gods.”
Pausing, he continued, “However, the material from which the Netherworld Book was cast is a Divine Object created collectively by ancient demons and gods: Reincarnation Nether Iron!”
Reincarnation Nether Iron?
Pei Xuanjing searched his memory for information about this Divine Object and found none, listening attentively for Zhu Jiuyin to continue.
“In ancient times, many God-Devils collaborated in deducing that the Immortal Dao would emerge countless eons later, so they began searching for a method that would allow ancient demons and gods to live until that era. It was then that the reincarnating demon god, who mastered the Laws of Reincarnation, proposed an idea–using the power of reincarnation to let the countless demons and gods be reborn through reincarnation,” Zhu Jiuyin revealed the true secret behind the return of the ancient God-Devils.
Among them, he mentioned a crucial Demon God: the one who wielded the Laws of Reincarnation.
Pei Xuanjing's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already somewhat shaken; the Laws of Reincarnation did exist, and there was indeed a Demon God who wielded these laws in ancient times.
It was only unknown whether this reincarnation was the same as that reincarnation.
