Chapter 704 - 452: The Aura of Reincarnation in the River Map and Luo Book
Zhong Heng watched as several Immortals departed.
These Immortals had all attained Immortality after the Human Emperor.
They had likely ascended to Immortality within the past sixty thousand years.
Among the Jiuzhou Immortals, they are still considered ’young’.
"Heading to Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, are they..."
It seems that Jiuzhou remains quite adept in warfare.
Even the previously somber atmosphere has lightened considerably.
After all, Lingshu Immortal Venerable mentioned that Jiuzhou would employ the Reincarnation Law to grant these fallen Immortals a second life.
"Is this the so-called rebirth flow..."
Zhong Heng chuckled.
In this way, perhaps the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable could reincarnate and live a second life.
He too could make amends for some past karma.
"And the River Map and Luo Book..."
Zhong Heng raised an eyebrow.
Judging by the current situation, Jiuzhou handles things with ease.
Why have the River Map and Luo Book resurfaced in this era?
Zhong Heng used his intelligence network to investigate the current Masters of the River Map and Luo Book.
"Hmm? Such slow progress."
"And so many have fallen."
"Wait, these..."
Zhong Heng looked at the words on the report, feeling puzzled.
With a flicker, he descended to the Lower Realm.
Mi Tian Realm.
Icefield City, Zhang Family.
Zhong Heng stood in the corner, watching the Zhang Family’s genius Zhang Yuan who was ambushed and killed.
Under the Zhang Family’s emergency treatment.
Zhang Yuan still had a breath left.
However, all his meridians were broken forever.
His talent was gone, and he feared he would fall from genius to waste.
All the previous warmth turned into cold indifference.
Only a few closest to him retained their previous attitude.
Zhong Heng, in the form of an Immortal, descended, making it impossible for any creatures there to notice his presence.
He observed Zhang Yuan openly.
Such a script of a genius turning into waste was something Zhong Heng had seen countless times over millennia.
There were also innumerable cases of wastes staging a comeback.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But when Zhong Heng looked at Zhang Yuan, he squinted his eyes.
The world changed.
A mass of causal lines began to appear on Zhang Yuan’s body.
These were not causal lines that a seventeen-year-old could acquire.
Especially, ninety-nine percent of these causal lines were in a highly illusory state.
"This trace of aura is, the Reincarnation Law..."
Zhong Heng kept calculating the karma on his fingers.
This was a skill automatically understood after attaining Immortality.
Any cultivator not yet an Immortal would be seen thoroughly under an Immortal’s eyes.
Only another Immortal could block an Immortal’s gaze.
"No, there’s no aura of other Immortals."
"They aren’t the Immortals fallen in the last great upheaval from the Immortal coffins."
Zhong Heng raised his brow.
And one day.
The aura on Zhang Yuan, who had turned into waste, suddenly transformed.
A powerful will descended upon him, merging with him.
Countless memories flooded his mind, with most knowledge sealed in a protective manner.
"Hoo..."
"Is this my second life?"
"Icefield City, Zhang Family."
"Once a genius, now a waste, Zhang Yuan."
"But I don’t know what year it is... Black Heaven Old Ghost, wait for me."
The despondence previously on Zhang Yuan was gone.
Instead, he exuded the confidence of a strong one.
"Hmm, meridians severed, ambushed three years ago..."
"It’s even worse than I imagined."
"But severed meridians are disastrous for low-tier cultivators, nothing much for high-tier ones.
"Luckily, I know a Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture that can recast meridians and improve aptitude, provided one severs their own meridians, just perfect for now..."
"It’s also the right time to settle some karma of this life."
An icy glint flashed across Zhang Yuan’s face.
As he was about to move, the world suddenly froze.
The chirping of insects and birds outside the window ceased abruptly.
Even the gentle breeze vanished.
A figure clad in black stood at the doorway, hands behind his back, quietly observing Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan’s expression changed as he stepped forward, respectfully performing a Cultivation Ceremony.
He said, "Junior Zhang Yuan greets the senior."
In his heart, Zhang Yuan was deep in thought.
In his past life, as a Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivator, he had even crossed paths with several Divinity Transformation Cultivators and survived.
He knew more than most cultivators.
The presence in front of him was at least at the Divinity Transformation Level.
How is it possible!?
Could he have reincarnated into the Upper Nine States?
This life was clearly ordinary, why was he noticed by a strong one?
"Living a second life?"
However, the next moment, the other’s words revealed his greatest secret.
Zhang Yuan’s pupils contracted, and he wanted to say something.
But his entire body was rigid, unable to move an inch.
"The reason for your second life is because of..."
"River Map?"
Zhang Yuan felt his entire being relax.
His greatest secret was revealed in an instant.
The impact was immense.
"To what extent has your River Map talent been unlocked?"
Zhong Heng continued to inquire.
Given Zhang Yuan’s past life as one nearing Divinity Transformation, he quickly composed himself.
He replied respectfully, "Two abilities, one is to analyze, the other to retain past life’s memories for reincarnation."
Zhong Heng raised an eyebrow at his words.
He reached out and took Zhang Yuan’s wrist.
It was as if Zhong Heng had always been there.
"The River Map has such talents, how come I didn’t know?"
"The scent of reincarnation..."
Zhong Heng nodded, leaving behind a Cultivation Technique casually before disappearing.
Zhang Yuan picked up the Cultivation Technique.
His eyes widened instantly.
"An Immortal Scripture directly pointing to True Immortal!?"
"Even in the Upper Nine States, there can’t be many such techniques."
"I have truly met a benefactor..."
