The Dao of Reincarnation: Ascending Through a Hundred Lives

Su Chen watched Burial True Immortal Monarch attempt to summon his former Dao and did not intervene.

From what he knew of Burial True Immortal Monarch, if there had been any chance, the man would have returned to the Heavenly Gang Immortal Domain long ago to reclaim his old path.

The fact that Burial True Immortal Monarch had not returned and instead struggled through the mortal world to forge a new path suggested only one possibility.

Someone else had already claimed the path he once walked. Such situations were not uncommon among True Immortals. Those who proved their Dao and became immortals opened a position on that path and became its pioneer. The path would then persist throughout the myriad heavens.

Yet there was one detail: once the original True Immortal lost himself or was killed by a great enemy, the immortal position would become vacant. During that time, any being who cultivated that path had a chance to claim it.

At first, the position might not recognize these new candidates. But as the original creator remained out of contact, the position would gradually select suitable successors. A new True Immortal would emerge to occupy that immortal path. Naturally, the current holder would never willingly surrender the hard-won position. Even if the original creator returned, they would kill him without hesitation until his true spirit sank completely into reincarnation and dissipated, or until he forged a second immortal path.

Of course, some immortal positions remained loyal. Even after losing contact with their creator, they would select no successor. In such cases, the path would gradually fade without new inheritors, becoming a severed Dao that vanished from the myriad heavens.

Burial True Immortal Monarch clearly belonged to the former group. His connection to his old immortal position had grown weaker until it was completely severed. When he looked back, someone else had already claimed it. He had no choice but to walk a second path.

Now that he had revealed his identity and tried to summon his former position, the current master of that immortal seat would not relinquish it so easily.
