--- Chapter 192 ---
Baek Ain opened his eyes slowly and sighed in relief.
Experiencing 100 hundred reincarnations is much more intense than he initially thought.
He was confident that small pieces of his former self had gotten chipped away, but he knew it was necessary to strengthen his mind and soul.
Also, those pieces are more like impurities in his whole being.
Although Baek Ain didn't feel any particular boost physically besides the Bodhisattva's Heart that the Ancient Bodhisatta Tree planted in his body as a way for him to reach the Dou Di(Dou God) Realm, his soul evolved to a 'greater' high.
Baek Ain stayed firm like an unwavering mountain, even in endless joy or sorrow. Ultimately, he became stronger with countless rich experiences that one couldn't have with one life alone.
However, Baek Ain also realized it was imperfect. There is no such thing as perfect in this world.

[Ding! Due to your spiritual experience, a unique skill is going to be condensed]
[Congratulation, Host]
[You have obtained '102 Lives' Nirvanic Parade']
...
Baek Ain briefly skimmed the list of new skills as he knew about them already. However, the last one caught him off guard.
A small smile crept onto Baek Ain's handsome face. His hazel-gold eyes have become crystal-like and more experienced, so he doesn't expect the best from this.
[Name: 102 Lives Nirvanic Parade]
[Type: Growth-Type Skill]
[Grade: SSS+(Currently)]
[Description: A unique skill condensed due to the Host's experiencing 102 lives spiritually. Allow the Host to summon his incarnation as a masked avatar to fight]
[Note: The current Host may only summon a handful of incarnations with passable powers and mysteries]
"Well, It's better than I expected." He chuckled in amusement.
[How is your feeling, Host?] Alicia's voice brushed Baek Ain's mind.
Baek Ain smiled and answered, "I don't know... Calm? I felt much tamer than usual."
[People do feel like that after one hundred reincarnations]
[Don't worry, Host. After some adjustment, you should be fine]
"Yeah." Baek Ain nodded in understanding. He rubbed his neck and looked around, finding the tree spirit sitting on a chair made from roots.
The tree spirit stared at Baek Ain, checking him up and down. "It seems you have gained a lot..."
"I don't have much time."
"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree will return to the ground again, and my next appearance will be longer than it used to be... Human, I don't hope much, but could you grant this lower plane protection from people like that woman there." The tree spirit moved its head and looked at Luo Bingbing, who was drooling like a foolish woman. "if possible..."
Baek Ain waved his hand at the tree spirit, "She won't be a threat. We don't need to take her life."
"On the contrary, she would be a great asset for me and this plane."
"So, just go to sleep and leave the rest to me."
The tree spirit was surprised by Baek Ain's confidence. It let out a hearty laugh and said, "Thank you for the peace of mind."
"Before I go, may I know your name?"
"Your real name." The tree spirit added a little bit of tone.
Baek Ain snapped his finger and canceled the Chaotic Mask of the Jester, allowing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to see his 'true' appearance.
"My real name is Baek Ain." Baek Ain introduced himself. "Nice to meet you, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's Spirit."
"Such a miraculous transformation ability." The tree spirit praised Baek Ain earnestly. "I know you're a young human, but I didn't expect you to be this young."
"You haven't even reached twenty years of age yet."
"This is also fate..." It sighed in realization
"I don't know about the future, but if by any chance you couldn't meet me again due to some circumstance, your descendant may enter this place to retrieve a Bodhisattva's Heart and Seeds."
Baek Ain put on a surprised expression upon hearing the tree spirit's words and questioned, "Aren't you supposed to be just and fair to give everyone a chance? If you did something like that, it's no different than giving me and my future children a privilege, no?"
The tree spirit gave Baek Ain a mysterious smile and replied, "What you said is true, but I know your descendant won't be ordinary. While they might not be like you, I can help them temper their hearts."
"Moreover, I believe in you to raise good-natured kids..."
"Haha, you're pressuring me." Baek Ain laughed as he realized what the tree spirit intended. "Okay, I will remember this."
The tree spirit blinked its bead-like eyes and gave Baek Ain a piece of information, "I have sent your companions outside. You may find them in the north before I use my last power to teleport the floating island to the safe place and hibernate."
"Okay, thanks for telling me." Baek Ain smiled and turned around.
He grabbed Luo Bingbing by the waist and carried her like a sack of potatoes. "See you later, Bodhisattva Ancient Tree." He waved and disappeared from the core area.
The tree spirit placed its hands together and closed its eyes, "Farewell, Human's Emperor Baek Ain."
"Let's meet again in 3,000 years..."
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree sustained heavy damage because of Luo Bingbing's interference. It usually would hibernate for 1,000 years and appear on the surface shortly after, but now it must rest for 3,000 years.
When the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree appeared again, this lower plane might have become a totally different realm.
...
Baek Ain used Spatial Strength skillfully and traveled countless hundred miles in the blink of an eye. He landed on the grassland and looked back at the center area of the floating island.
"Ahn..."
A soft moan from below made Baek Ain raise his brows.
Baek Ain stared at Luo Bingbing and noticed she was about to awake from the Tale of Unfinished Samsara.
[This is unbelievable...] Even Alicia was speechless.
[Tale of Unfinished Samsara is a top-tier artifact, but this woman actually awakes so quickly??]
Baek Ain checked for something and gently placed Luo Bingbing on the soft grass. The beautiful female cultivator opened her eyes and revealed confused green eyes.
She rubbed her eyes and groaned, "Uugh, where am I?"
"What's this place?"
Luo Bingbing stared at Baek Ain and gasped. Her fair cheeks flushed and made Baek Ain's male instinct jump.
[Uh, oh]
[I don't think blushing is a good sign, Host] Alicia commented solemnly.
'Yeah.' Baek Ain watched tears come out of Luo Bingbing's eyes.
Luo Bingbing suddenly pounced on Baek Ain and let out a squeal of happiness, "Husband, we finally met again!"
"I know you won't abandon me forever."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have acted high and mighty... So please, don't leave me again."
Baek Ain stared at her in disbelief, "What?"
"Are you playing around with me?"
[Oh, no...] Alicia realized something.
[Host, she is...]
Luo Bingbing shook her head rapidly and said, "No! I would never joke around about this matter."
"W-We married each other on the third of July."
"B-B-But I was being such a mean wife and even did countless horrible things to you."
"The point is..."
[This woman, she got devoured by 'Tale of Unfinished Samsara']
"..." Baek Ain.
Luo Bingbing grabbed Yu Long's right hand and pressed it against her soft breast forcibly, "Husband, I'm Yours~!"
