Chapter 2262 -2260: The Path of Reincarnation
But the bizarre vision passed in an instant, and Ethan Smith barely had time to comprehend it before it disappeared.
Ethan focused intently, feeling the mist within the cloud layers. After a long while, another divine sense spell flashed by.
*The spells of the Divine Soul were far more complex than the cultivation skills of the physical body. Back then, Ethan spent a long time fumbling through the Soul Nightmare Technique before he figured it out, let alone these fleeting images.*
Ethan’s mind stirred, and the desolate divine eye instantly appeared on his forehead.
The mist receded slowly like tidal water, and the fleeting vision became much clearer.
His divine sense power and spiritual energy were depleting at an alarming rate. Even though Ethan possessed abnormal reserves of divine sense and Chaotic Power, the rate of consumption was overwhelming him.
Before long, most of his divine sense power had already been depleted.
Having no other choice, he could only sit cross-legged again to restore the exhausted divine sense.
After countless attempts, Ethan finally grasped that fleeting image.
“Capture!”
Suo Lin transformed into a giant shield. With a flick of his right hand, the vision finally slowed down slightly.
Under the effect of the desolate divine eye, the workings of the cultivation skill started to become clearer. Line by line, the trajectory of the skill unraveled under the divine eye, revealing its origin.
A golden light began to gather gradually at the top of his head.
“Soul Breaking Gold Light!”
Those few cultivators who had been absorbing divine sense power suddenly felt an icy sense of danger. As they opened their eyes, they saw the Soul Breaking Gold Light hovering above Ethan Smith’s head. Someone immediately lost their composure and shouted.
“Yeah, that’s freakish. I’ve been in secluded cultivation for nearly thirty years, and only just comprehended this Soul Breaking Gold Light. Ethan, you managed to grasp it in such a short time!”
Rosie Lowe smiled wryly, feeling an overwhelming sense of defeat.
“Luck,”
Ethan said with a laugh, offering no further explanation.
*His mastery of the Soul Nightmare Technique allowed him to quickly restore divine sense power. Otherwise, the mere act of recovery would have taken an eternity. Furthermore, the desolate divine eye was critical in this process. Without it, the time required for comprehension would have multiplied exponentially.*
Within the cloud layers, there were other cultivation skills as well, but they were far too erratic.
Sometimes, it would take ages for a singular cultivation skill to appear again. If Ethan had ample time, he could wait them out, but at this moment, he needed to seize every moment to strengthen himself.
Ethan stood up. Another Divine Soul skill flashed briefly before his eyes.
*Ethan suddenly felt curious: who had left this sacred site in the Azure Sky Palace? Over a span of a thousand years, how could the cultivation techniques evolved by this ancestor possibly have persisted so long?*
*He recognized that every rotation of the techniques required an expenditure of divine sense power. Ethan began to entertain a notion that filled him with dread. Fixing his gaze on this Divine Soul Space, he remained intent.*
As soon as the skill appeared, his desolate divine eye immediately activated.
However, instead of tracing the specific operation of the skills, he tracked their origins.
Once, twice, up to ten times… ƒrēenovelkiss.com
At last, after countless unravelings, Ethan discovered a singular spatial point within.
Chasing that point, his entire being accelerated to its limit, stepping into the spatial node.
A cascade of images flipped before his eyes like a rapid montage. Finally, he arrived at a vision of verdant mountains and green tea. Before him, a young scholar stood with his back turned, fishing leisurely.
The scholar sighed softly. As he turned to Ethan, his face looked remarkably youthful, yet Ethan could sense an inexplicable sorrow, as though this man had endured countless lifetimes—a reminder that everything in this world seemed only a dream.
“Finding this place is destiny, so I’ll gift you a Path of Reincarnation—whether it’s fortune or disaster, only time will tell.”
The scholar spoke softly, his voice akin to recited poetry, soothing and melodic.
A beam of light surged toward Ethan, enveloping him. This aura was unlike anything he’d ever felt before.
Every inch of his body tingled with an unexplainable sense of peril. Reflexively, golden light burst from him, and the cosmic form soared toward the heavens.
Yet, in the instant the light touched him, his Saintly Body Skill, his Chaotic Power, and his cosmic form all evaporated into nothingness, leaving him suspended and tugged forcefully into a new realm.
“Ethan, hurry back for dinner!”
From within a humble farmhouse, a pair of middle-aged parents shouted out.
“Are they calling for me?”
The two pulled Ethan into the house.
“Silly kid, who else are we calling?” They chuckled warmly at Ethan.
“Mom, Dad.” As he looked at their familiar faces, Ethan suddenly fell into silence.
…
“Ethan, this is our baby!”
Inside a room, Emily Taylor cradled a baby and placed it into Ethan’s arms.
…
In another space, Ethan stood atop the Revered Mountain.
Below him, countless cultivators stood reverently.
*Each scene, as though an entire lifetime, encapsulated all of Ethan’s deepest emotional regrets.*
Ethan grew ever quieter.
“Son, it’s almost my time. Don’t cry.”
At the bedside, an elder spoke gently, his eyes closing slowly.
…
“Ethan, I’m leaving first.”
Emily Taylor, now white-haired, smiled warmly at him.
…
On the mountain summit, fewer and fewer cultivators remained behind him. Ultimately, he was left entirely alone.
As Ethan walked forward, he gradually realized that he was growing old.
His back began to stoop, his gaze filled with confusion.
*His parents had lived out their lives with him. He had married Emily, had his own child, and stood atop the pinnacle…*
*But now, he was weary. He only wished to sleep peacefully, without anyone waking him.*
“This—isn’t real…”
Ethan murmured.
“No, it is real. This is the you of another cycle. If you desire, you can return at any time.”
A scholar appeared before Ethan now.
*Ethan was silent. His father, his mother, and Emily Taylor—they all knew everything about him. Ethan sensed no falsehood. A lifetime spent; how could he sever it all?*
*It was as though he’d lived an entire life, only to be told it was all a lie. Now he was to sever every bond and start anew.*
His hair began whitening, his golden core melted, his muscles weakened.
His breathing grew labored, and suddenly Ethan laughed.
“I remember long ago, a girl named Emily waited for me. And my father—even in death—protected me. During those moments, I was no longer lost. Nonetheless, I must thank you for letting me experience all this. I believe it’s real.”
Ethan smiled as he spoke to the scholar.
“Then you may return. Sever all karmic ties, and the past will be yours once more.”
The scholar smiled faintly.
He transformed into Emily Taylor, his mother, and his father. Together, the three stood there, smiling warmly at Ethan.
