1 Grand Reincarnation

Dirt, grime, and blood covered Lin Xiang, Lin Ping, and Gi Zuo all over their bodies. Their once glorious Daoist robes were now tattered all over, appearing more as mere rages. One can even spot large gashes on their bodies from the torn open holes.

None of them bore any resemblance to grand cultivators. They all looked so feeble and pathetic.

However, even like this, Lin Xiang, Lin Ping, and Gi Zuo still exuded an unfathomable presence. Their expressions weren't one of despair. But of immense excitement!

"Ahh...heh! They really should've hunted us down to the extreme! With this, our future will be boundless!" Lin Ping's voice sounded weary and fatigued, as if her body was on the verge of collapsing.

Yet, unforeseen power could still boom from her tone. Her voice alone made the surrounding space violently quiver.

Gi Zuo's smile was equally wide. His eyes bloomed with great malicious intent. "The Sacred Royal Court, Soaring Heaven Sect, Cosmic Sword Sect, hehe, I really wonder what's the look their faces will be when we come smashing down their front doors single-handedly."

The same vibration of power rippled from Gi Zuo as well.

Only Lin Xiang appeared the calmest out of the three. His reservedness only made him that more distinctly profound. As if he was a sheathed sword ready to erupt with limitless killing intent at any moment!

His smile was serene, but his eyes glinted with eagerness. He swept his gaze at a wide circular array formation with complex Dao Runes carved along a cracked ground.

"So many years of torture and enduring, and now, the Nine Grand Reincarnation Art Formation is complete. But before this, I want to remind you two that our cultivation bases will always come first. Even as our bloodline will grant us tremendous combat prowess, extremely high comprehension of our innate Daos, and easy breakthroughs, we all must strive to increase our bases as fast as possible! The higher our bases, the quicker we exact revenge and surpass our feeble past selves!"

Lin Ping and Gi Zuo violently clenched their fists. Their Dao Hearts, even after tragedy upon tragedy, was still quite firm. Even a world destruction wouldn't sway their Dao Hearts. Their minds would normally be in perfect control.

But the mere mention of exacting revenge was enough to stir the murderous intent buried deep within their Dao Hearts. This was something they wouldn't be able to forget for any lifetime.

Lin Xiang felt the same way. Though, he only let this fuel the determination of his diamond-solid Dao Heart.

Lin Xiang pointed a finger out. A flash of crimson and bright blood began to form at the tip. "Remember, we'll need to drop our blood at the same time."

A mere tiny drop of blood formed above the tip of Lin Xiang's finger. But just this drop of blood was filled with complex Dao Runes. Simply gazing at the drop of blood from miles apart would make weaker cultivators go completely blind.

At the same time, Lin Ping and Gi Zuo condensed their blood essence above their fingertip.

Before doing anything, Lin Ping suddenly asked, "Are sure the universal soul link will work? I still can't help but doubt such a miraculous ability exists."

"And being able to transcend into the future with our memories and soul intact isn't?" Gi Zuo lightly teased.

Even in their situation, Lin Ping cracked a small smile. "Sure, but I mean, being able to contact each other anywhere at any time, even in the Lower Realms or the Grand Worlds? That's almost too helpful."

"Well, let's just hope it works in the first place." Lin Xiang casually commented.

When seeing their blood essence condensed, he, Lin Ping, and Gi Zuo turn serious.

"Ready." The trio firmly spoke at the same time.

In complete sync, they dripped their condensed blood essence right onto the Grand Reincarnation Art array.

The blood essences seeped right in. Instantaneously, a bright red flash illuminated the array circle!

The flash itself tore through space and time, quickly expanding out for hundreds of miles. Its range soon expanded across the desolate planet Lin Xiang's group was using.

The planet Lin Xiang's group used was far off in a secluded section of their Great Cosmo. It was merely only thousands of miles wide in diameter.

Only a split-second passed. And the array's red flash engulfed the entire small planet!

Everything had lost meaning within the red light. The Laws and Rules of Space and Time didn't exist.

The River of Time that covered the entirety of their universal grand world could no longer hold Lin Xiang, Lin Ping, and Gi Zuo.

Within the center of the array, Lin Xiang, Lin Ping, and Gi Zuo lost all sensations. Their bodies dissipated and large chunks of their souls instantly vanished.

However, the remnants of their souls completely fused into rule-breaking red light!

Without Lin Xiang, Lin Ping, and Gi Zuo even realizing it, they have already entered a deep sleep.

The Grand Reincarnation Array suddenly lost its glow. It, along with the blinding red light, completely vanished.

What was left in the chaotic Void Space was an empty black space. Space and Time began reforming where the small planet had once existed.

Under countless Supreme Experts of the universal grand world, nobody knew a heaven-shattering ritual had just occurred.

...

Darkness. Only endless darkness was what Lin Xiang could see. It looked like he was in hell or in a eternal sleep.

But, the very moment Lin Xiang could see that he was in darkness, his soul was heavily stimulated!

Energy pumped through his body. Unforeseen power rattled Lin Xiang down to his core!

Extreme heat and extreme coldness penetrated deep into his body, covering every single inch, even down to the tiniest of cells.

Lin Xiang couldn't tell how long this process lasted. Time seemed to lose all meaning within this darkness.

This kind of extreme fire and ice sensation would drive anyone else absolutely mad. Two different types of immense pain would rack your mind. Both the suffering boil of extreme heat and bone piercing chill of extreme cold.

However, Ling Xiang didn't feel discomfort. Extreme heat and extreme coldness brought about a sense of security for him. The sensation nearly enthralled him into enlightenment.

But before Lin Xiang was completely enthralled, a jolt of energy, more intense than the Dao of Lightning, smashed through Lin Xiang's entire being!

"Mn?!"

Lin Xiang promptly flung his eyes wide open. His body jolted right up. An unfamiliar scenery was presented to him. His ears ranged and his Spiritual Sea was disjointed.

Most cultivators would collapse to their knees under this sensation. However, Lin Xiang merely took a deep breath and stimulated his soul.

Soul essence released from the depths of his body and spread throughout his entire being.

Lin Xiang instantly felt calmer. His bearing and senses came back to him.

Before doing anything, Lin Xiang analyzed his current situation. The room he was in was a slightly shabby cultivation dwelling.

It was spacious enough and had a considerable quality of the World's Energy and source essence permeating the atmosphere.

Several books and shelves were lined up around. But what briefly caught Lin Xiang's attention the most was several lovely paintings depicting the beauty of fire and ice. He nearly cracked a smile at those paintings.

Taking his mind off the paintings, Lin Xiang was about to gather information.

The moment he took one step, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly reverberated throughout his mind. He froze like a statue.

'Yin-Yang Desire System Fully integrated. Host has received a mission.'

Lin Xiang blinked his eyes. His Spirit Sense covered the entire room, and his eyes flashed about everywhere. But nobody else was in here besides himself.

Crossing his arms, Lin Xiang puzzledly murmured in his mind, 'System...?'

In that moment, a blue projection suddenly flashed in front of Lin Xiang's eyes. He was rooted to the ground.

An energy projection had magically appeared from thin air!

Furthermore, the projection displayed critical information that caught Lin Xiang's interest.

'This...it has to be something related to the reincarnation Art. It did mention that successful reincarnation will gain abilities no other cultivators have seen before. Mn. Let's check what this is about.'

Lin Xiang is a wise and greatly experienced Supreme Elder from the Grand Worlds. Even without his unfathomable cultivation, his Dao Heart still remained firm!

He can calmly intake situations and analyze how to proceed forward with ease.

The mission tab on the System page took Lin Xiang's interest first. Following natural instinct, he clicked on it and watched as a bunch of words instantly formed.

The mission read as such, 'Reach the 1st layer of Polaris Mountain and awaken first innate bloodline ability. Failure to do so in a day results in the host's death.'

Lin Xiang's eyes specifically focused on the word death. Could whatever magical force where this projection came from kill him on the spot?

It would seem like a stretch. But considering he did reincarnate years into the future, Lin Xiang wasn't willing to take any unnecessary risks.

Clicking back to the previous screen, Lin Xiang observed the rest of his status. It displayed several key information.

It told his new name, which was coincidentally still Lin Xiang, even in the future. The current date of this era and his location. But most importantly, it detailed his cultivation base, bloodline, soul, and main cultivation art.

'4th layer Profound Realm. Late Layer Heavenly Origin Evolvable Soul. Black Grade Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline. Desire Art.'

Glee started to rise from the depths of Lin Xiang's soul. Even with his firm mind, he nearly wanted to shout out loud in joy!

'The evolvable soul! Black Grade bloodline! Just these two alone would be enough to make those ancient Grand Gods go absolutely mad! Though, I wonder, what is this Desire Art? Let's...mn?'

Before continuing on, Lin Xiang's senses alerted him. A Heavenly Origin Soul can expand his Soul Sense at an incredible range. It reached thousands of meters in a second.

Lin Xiang detected that an average, mid layer Profound realm cultivator had walked up to his cultivation dwelling. His powerful Soul Sense could detect that this cultivator had a bundle of anxiety twisting his aura.

Lin Xiang could even faintly see in his mind that this young man's expression was fraught with mild worry.
