Chapter 97 Reincarnation and Death
Yanzi, the progenitor of both the True Dragon and the Ancient Serpent, possesses the power to unite these two great clans.
If the dragon and snake races were to join forces, even if they were to eventually dominate the primordial world and surpass all other races, Fuxi would not be surprised. These two races belong to Yin and Yang respectively, one being extremely strong and Yang, and the other being extremely Yin and soft, and they have such potential.
Yanzi's life, consciousness, and freedom came from Fuxi and Nuwa, but Fuxi and Nuwa also caused Yanzi to lose the treasures of heaven and earth that should have belonged to him.
The causes and effects, the grudges and grievances, are all intertwined, and even Fuxi could not unravel them, nor did he know how to resolve this karmic entanglement.
Previously, Fuxi possessed a True Spirit Diagram that was fused with his own origin, which could shield the reincarnation aura within his soul, preventing Yanzi from perceiving the cause and effect between her and him.
Ever since Fuxi dismantled the True Spirit Diagram and created his own five True Spirit Origins, Fuxi knew that one day he would have to face Yanzi. However, Fuxi did not expect that day to come so soon.
Nuwa followed a different path than Fuxi. The Mountain and Sea Map was still merging with Nuwa's origin, so even though Yanzi had known Nuwa for a long time, he did not notice anything unusual.
In Yanzi's understanding, the true nature of the Serpent Ancestor and the original Serpent Ancestor status have always been in the hands of Gu Qu, just as Yanzi originally thought that the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor and the original Dragon Ancestor status had always been in the hands of Tai Qu.
Yanzi's personality differed from that of Fuxi and Nuwa. Yanzi could not understand why Fuxi and Nuwa would give up the true nature of the dragon and snake and the original ancestral status of the dragon and snake to choose to follow their own path instead of inheriting the path of Pangu.
"I don't want to deal with the karmic debts between us now. There will be a time to settle things in the future. I will resolve the karmic debts and repay the kindness."
Yanzi looked at Fuxi, the complex emotions in his eyes slowly dissipating, and his aura continuously increased.
"You said before that I alone am no match for you."
At Yanzi's command, the army of the Sword Crab Clan retreated. With Fuxi present, the Sword Crab Clan was unable to completely wipe out the Azure Dragon lineage, but Yanzi still decided to take action to test Fuxi's approximate strength.
In his left hand, the Heavenly Chart shimmered with countless rays of orderly light, while in his right hand, the Xuanzi Rope rippled with layers of spatial and temporal ripples. The auras of the two innate spiritual treasures slowly merged, with myriad stars following behind Yanzi. His phoenix eyes were filled with icy winds and snow: "I don't believe that statement."
The Xuanzi rope split into twelve strands, carrying an obscure and boundless power of spacetime, sealing off the spacetime around Fuxi. The myriad phenomena in the Heavenly Record Diagram manifested, and the light of order evolved into the divine light of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, like seven sword lights, slashing down towards the sea area where Fuxi was located.
"Your consciousness was not formed for long; you must have been reborn a little over a thousand times in the cycle of reincarnation. Having experienced reincarnation, you should understand how it tempers a cultivator's mental and spiritual realm."
"Why don't you guess how many times I reincarnated before finally transcending reincarnation?"
In Fuxi's eyes, the five sword auras took shape in an instant. The Dongjun Sword was drawn an inch from its sheath, and ten thousand golden and jade-like flames easily sliced through the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Divine Light.
With a single twist, the crystalline sword light disregarded the Yin-Yang Five Elements Divine Light's restraint on the Geng-Xin Qi, severing the seven magnificent, heaven-reaching sword lights.
A wisp of sword light descended, a streak of light swept across the abyss, and twelve clear metallic sounds rang out. The twelve golden chains that the Xuanzi Rope had split into were easily shattered by the sword light unleashed by Fuxi.
The immense power of spacetime on the Xuanzi Rope surged and undulated. A crack was drawn open by the Xuanzi Rope amidst the interweaving of spacetime, and the spacetime crack swallowed the sword light that Fuxi had unleashed.
Yanzi's phoenix eyes narrowed as she looked at the Yin-Yang Five Elements Divine Light and Xuanzi Rope, which had been easily defeated by Fuxi. For the second time, she felt immense pressure from a cultivator of the same level. The Fuxi before her felt no less powerful than Di Hong.
Fuxi slowly closed the Dongjun Sword, which had been drawn an inch from its sheath at his waist. Looking at Yanzi, Fuxi said, "Thirty-seven million six hundred and twenty-five thousand eight hundred and twenty-three times. This is the number of times I have been reincarnated."
"More than 30 million times? Impossible!"
His pupils suddenly contracted. Yanzi looked at Fuxi, recalling the endless tribulations he had experienced during his reincarnation, and subconsciously opened his mouth to refute.
However, looking into Fuxi's calm eyes, Yanzi fell silent. As someone who had personally experienced more than 1,700 reincarnations, Yanzi knew very well how terrifying reincarnation was.
Once one enters the cycle of reincarnation, one's true self will be dismantled and obscured by the cycle, leaving only the purest spark of light to permeate countless worlds. In the endless cycle of birth and death, one gradually forgets oneself and eventually sinks into the cycle of reincarnation, becoming a complete part of it.
Yanzi knew very well that if Fuxi and Nuwa had not transcended reincarnation, causing a slight oversight in the origin of reincarnation, she would not have been able to escape from it.
Even after just over 1,700 reincarnations, has Yanzi already lost some of the memories from when she first gained sentience?
In Yanzi's view, it is impossible for anyone in the vast universe to maintain their true self after experiencing more than 30 million cycles of reincarnation, let alone break free from the cycle of reincarnation, understand their true nature, and transcend the cycle of reincarnation.
Looking into Fuxi's calm eyes, Yanzi knew that Fuxi had no reason to lie to her. Fuxi's ability to transcend reincarnation was enough to explain everything.
Having gone through more than 30 million cycles of birth and death, Yanzi could not imagine how high Fuxi's level of cultivation was.
Yanzi was able to advance to the Taiyi realm in less than 100,000 years after escaping the cycle of reincarnation, not only because of his noble birth, but also because of the profound cultivation and vision he had honed through thousands of reincarnations.
Having undergone more than 30 million reincarnations, Fuxi's knowledge of the world and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth far surpassed that of innate gods and demons of the same realm, and even surpassed that of the Great Luo Dao Lord and the Primordial Great Luo Dao Lord.
As the spirit of Pangu's essence that existed at the very beginning of reincarnation, Yanzi possesses a secret about reincarnation that even Fuxi and Nuwa were unaware of.
Yanzi knew that the endless clusters of worlds in the cycle of reincarnation were not illusions, nor were they worlds on different timelines projected from the primordial origin of the universe, but rather projections from many other worlds in the sea of chaos.
Reincarnation is not born from the netherworld, but rather the netherworld is born from the overflowing power of reincarnation.
It was only through the convergence of the origins of eighteen of Pangu's eighty-one incarnations, including Taiyuan, Qiuying, Jiangzu, and Yuanchi, that this Reincarnation, which can be considered the number one treasure of the primordial world, was finally born.
The original essence of Pangu's eighteen incarnations was completely consumed during the cycle of reincarnation, leaving only a trace of Taiyuan's will remaining in the cycle of reincarnation, which was mistaken by outsiders as the creator of the cycle of reincarnation.
In reality, there is only one creator of reincarnation, and that is Pangu. The true nature of dragons and snakes and the status of the primordial ancestor of dragons and snakes are also remnants of Pangu.
