Chapter 535: Above the Lord of Samsara_2
They all felt as though a cycle of reincarnation had finally completed between heaven and earth.
Li Fan took out the second piece of paper, ready to burn another one.
"Great Demon King... wait a moment."
At this time, Yun Xi hastily spoke up.
Li Fan asked with confusion,
"What's wrong?"
Yun Xi said,
"I think... burning one sheet of paper should be enough..."
"The ghost seemed to have already left, perhaps persuaded by you?"
They were worried, indeed. Just now, the world had undergone a cycle of reincarnation, and by all logic, Bing Ruo was probably already caught within it.
If they were to burn another... would the Great Demon King push the entire Yang Realm into reincarnation?
That would be too terrible.
"Master... it should be enough, why don't we wait and see?"
Zi Ling also spoke out.
Li Fan was a bit puzzled, since when do you burn just one sheet of paper?
These two girls can't be foolish...
But at that moment, outside the village entrance, a childish voice had already rung out:
"Big Brother!"
It was Xinning's voice.
Li Fan and the others looked up, and saw Xinning approaching swiftly.
Seeing the scene in front of the village entrance, Xinning was extremely surprised!
Big Brother was actually burning paper by himself...
It seemed that the cycle of reincarnation was truly crafted by Big Brother's own hands!
It was too unbelievable!
"Xinning, how did it go, was it a success?"
Yun Xi and Zi Ling both hurriedly approached, asking with concern.
Xinning nodded and took a deep breath before saying, "She's been sent off."
Immediately, she conveyed everything that had happened outside the Great Ruins Star Wheel to Yun Xi and Zi Ling through a mind transmission.
Yun Xi and Zi Ling were instantly shocked, with disbelieving expressions written all over their faces.
"The Bridge of Reincarnation, the reincarnation of an individual..."
Zi Ling murmured,
"Can everything truly undergo reincarnation? The profound ways between life and death are too esoteric."
She turned her head and stared at the ashes left from the burning yellow paper.
It looked so ordinary, with nothing special to be observed.
"Perhaps reincarnation lies within the ordinary and the mundane... Even gods cannot fathom it."
She became even more shaken. It seemed, perhaps the world's mightiest beings could not sense reincarnation, which also meant that reincarnation transcended all worldly beings.
And her master...
She felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in her heart.
Her master, although detached from the world above, was after all her own master.
She decided not to think about it anymore.
But Yun Xi turned towards Li Fan and said:
"Great Demon King, after the female ghost reincarnates, will she still remember the person she loved?"
"If she doesn't remember, that would be too pitiful..."
She looked somewhat sad, Xiao Mao Dan and Bing Ruo... They were so pitiable, being ghosts in love unable to be together.
They had suffered too much.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan's head ached, this silly girl was too naive, how would he know...
According to legend, when ghostly beings go to the Netherworld to be reborn, they encounter Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge and drink a bowl of Meng Po Soup, forgetting everything.
But, if he were to say that, both silly girls, Yun Xi and Zi Ling, would be very heartbroken.
So he simply smiled and said:
"Yes, love is stronger than gold, even through thousands of reincarnations, those who truly love each other will eventually be reunited."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi, Zi Ling, and Xinning all showed joy on their faces.
They were sincerely happy for Tian An and Bing Ruo!
"By the way, Great Demon King, we've extracted quite a lot of Ghost Teeth again this time!"
Yun Xi continued to speak, and both she and Zi Ling took out Ghost Teeth.
They had two big bags of them!
Seeing this, Li Fan was shocked; just how many Ghost Teeth had these two disciples extracted?
Although he had never seen a ghost, he guessed that they had about the same number of teeth as humans, around thirty-two, perhaps?
Looking at it this way, it would take dozens of ghosts to accumulate so many!
Were the ghosts in this world living such tragic lives?
To be bullied so miserably by two young girls!
Thinking this, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. These weak ghosts, so harmless to humans and animals... were really fit to be drafted for hard labor in the village.
Pushing mills and such, wouldn't it save the villagers a lot of effort?
However, he was just contemplating this because, after all, if he ever saw a ghost, not to mention the villagers being afraid, he would be the first to falter.
"Great Demon King, can we eat chilled watermelon now?"
Yun Xi looked at Li Fan with hopeful eyes.
Li Fan, however, smiled. With so many Ghost Teeth, they could be used to make shaved ice!
"Of course we can, let's go home, and pick a few watermelons on the way."
Li Fan spoke.
"Oy yeah, we can have chilled watermelon!"
Zi Ling and the others were overjoyed.
...
And at this moment.
Within the cycle of Samsara, Huang Yan scattered in all directions.
On the Naihe Bridge, a woman dressed in a red bridal gown had reached the end.
"Once you drink this soup, all of the past will be forgotten."
An old crone slowly stood up, poured a bowl of soup, and handed it to the woman in red.
The woman in red took the soup, but couldn't help looking back towards the other side of the bridge.
The Huang Yan was rising, and the Yang Realm was no longer visible.
Nor could the darkness of Tian An be seen.
"I will forget you..."
Bing Ruo murmured, hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she could only drink the Meng Po Soup.
At that moment, the endless cycle of cause and effect seemed to have been completely severed with that bowl of soup.
Countless memories were erased along with it.
"No!"
Just then, the old crone was suddenly startled and exclaimed,
"Stop, don't drink any more!"
She hastily snatched the bowl from Bing Ruo's hands, only to see that it had been almost completely consumed; the old crone's face instantly turned pale, and she fell to her knees on the ground, not knowing in which direction to say:
"No... I have made a mistake, I have defied the Supreme command, I am willing to dissipate from heaven and earth, excluded from the cycle of reincarnation!"
She trembled.
However, at that moment, Bing Ruo, perplexed, asked,
"Old lady, why are you kneeling?"
Meng Po replied with a bitter laugh,
"I have defied the Supreme command, causing you to forget your beloved..."
Just a moment ago, she had sensed a command from the Supreme Lord of Samsara.
Not to let the ghost woman before her forget the man she loved...
But it was already too late.
This was... a catastrophe.
Meng Po knew she couldn't bear it!
Hearing this, Bing Ruo simply smiled and said,
"I haven't forgotten, though."
"I remember my name is Bing Ruo, my beloved's name is Tian An, his nickname is Hairy Egg."
"It seems that's the only thing I remember."
After saying that, she added,
"No need for self-reproach, old lady... Bing Ruo, off to reincarnate."
With that, she turned and left.
Hearing this, Meng Po, still kneeling on the ground, had a drastic change in expression.
"What? She didn't forget?!"
She was shocked.
After drinking Meng Po Soup, even the Supreme Lord of Samsara was powerless...
There was only one possibility.
The command that made this girl remember her loved one did not come from the Lord of Samsara...
But from... a more terrifying figure.
Someone who commands more than just the cycle of reincarnation and when they speak, all of eternity and the cycle itself change due to their command! Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire
Therefore, when that kind of person speaks, nothing could make this ghost woman forget the one she loved.
Not even Meng Po Soup!
What kind of being... could that person be?
Meng Po trembled.
...
Not long after.
In a certain world.
In a rural farmhouse.
A baby's cry echoed as it entered the world.
With the birth of this infant, a tremendous presence seemed to swirl throughout heaven and earth, startling cultivators far and wide.
In a secret realm within this world, a place of endless wonders...
There stood the towering White Tiger Emperor Peak, with the flowing Ji Water passing in front of the peak, and the auspicious and boundless Kirin Valley...
At this moment, a girl was sitting at the summit of White Tiger Emperor Peak, cultivating.
She was surrounded by endless Sacred Flames, appearing immensely mysterious.
Suddenly sensing something, the girl looked up towards that direction.
It seemed as if a trail of Huang Yan was drifting down from the Sky Domain...
"Eh... this aura, why does it feel so familiar?"
"As if it comes from... a small mountain village?"
"Is it... his handiwork?"
The girl was astounded, immediately stood up, and said,
"Mu Qianning, come quickly, I think I've found... Senior Li's whereabouts!"
Another girl appeared soon after, her bright eyes brimming with intelligence; she was very excited and said,
"Sister Ling'er, where? Let's go find him now!"
Fire Spirit walked over, took Mu Qianning's hand, and said,
"Take down the Map of White Tiger Emperor Peak, Kirin Emergence Painting, and Ji Shui Tu. Let's go see for ourselves."
