Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1257 - 168: Xuan Jin

The Heavenly Phoenix Palace is situated above the clouds, and for ordinary people, entering the palace is as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Similarly...

Leaving is also extremely difficult.

If the Chi Fu Dragon Lord does not allow it, then this Second Master cannot go anywhere.

"Li Lan Mountain..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, using four fingers to stroke the beard on his chin: "If I am not mistaken, there seemed to be some disputes in the Li Lan Mountain territory not long ago."

"Indeed."

The Second Master said calmly, "Two years ago, the Da Chu Dynasty held a northern hunt here, causing the Secret Realm to collapse. Peacock Venerable and Wu Zhexian erupted in a fierce battle here."

That battle did not result in a victory or defeat...

However, the Li Lan Mountain territory was affected, and the Primordial Energy of the territory was completely destroyed.

After the clash between Wu Zhexian and Peacock Venerable, the Da Chu Dynasty, the Demon Country, and other powerful individuals entered this territory, trying to seize the treasures left by the Secret Realm.

Unfortunately.

The Secret Realm had already collapsed.

Various forces fought fiercely, only to discover halfway through...

There was nothing left here.

"This territory is now a wasteland."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord chuckled and asked, "Why does the Second Master want to go to such a place?"

"..."

The Second Master remained silent for a long time.

There were things he initially did not want to say.

But now the situation was clear.

There were things he had to say.

"In the Li Lan Mountain territory, a great destiny holder of the Human Race has emerged."

The Second Master spoke softly, "If I am not mistaken, the Da Chu Dynasty will send people northward..."

Now, even though there are continuous battles along the Northern Border Great Wall,

between the Demon Country and Da Chu lies a vast and desolate snow mountain range.

Li Lan Mountain is located among them.

Under normal circumstances, such a desolate territory would only be roamed by discarded members of the Human Race and unintelligent creatures of the Demon Race.

"A great destiny holder?"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord raised his eyebrows, somewhat incredulous.

On the Human Race’s side, there is the Unrivaled National Master Chen Jingxuan, whose extraordinary means have suppressed the otherwise fragmented Royal Family’s Dragon Vein Fortune of Da Chu.

How could a great destiny holder escape Chen Jingxuan’s divination?

"There are always exceptions to everything..."

The Second Master seemed to see through Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s thoughts and sighed, explaining, "Not all great destiny holders can be discovered in time."

"Oh? Is this great destiny holder a reincarnated great cultivator?"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s eyes brightened, wanting to probe further.

In his view,

those undiscovered great destiny holders are very likely reincarnators...

Because the awakening of a reincarnated great cultivator’s soul takes time, and before the awakening, their body is just that of an ordinary mortal.

In fact, similar cases have appeared before... Whether in the Demon Country or the Human Race, more than once, it has happened where a sect’s great cultivator successfully reincarnated, but their presence could not be detected in any way. Only when the soul was fully awakened could the cause and effect traces lead back to the person.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord was interested in this news, not because the great destiny holder was adrift...

but because if this great destiny holder truly was a reincarnated great cultivator, then who were they in their previous life?

"It is unspeakable."

The Second Master only shook his head.

The grand heavenly secrets remain hidden and unrevealed.

Those who can spy on the heavenly secrets have paid a great price. If they easily reveal them, the price will multiply.

Therefore...

Many things Chi Fu can ask, but the Second Master need not answer.

"Pa! Pa!"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord understood this reasoning and did not ask more, only laughed and reached out, gently clapping his hands.

With the sound of clapping,

outside the courtyard, the cloud sea churned, slowly forming a door.

A figure emerged from it.

"Second Master, a pleasure to meet you."

This figure was extremely tall, with handsome features and eyes carrying a hint of laughter, exuding a warm, refreshing aura like spring sunlight.

The newcomer stepped into the courtyard, arriving outside the small pavilion.

He slightly bowed, giving a very humble salute, and said respectfully, "I am... Xuan Jin."

"Xuan Jin..."

The Second Master showed no expression but softly mouthed the name.

Many things cannot be judged by appearances alone.

He knew.

Though this man before him had a good-looking face, being able to enter this courtyard meant he must be a formidable character.

"Doesn’t this name sound a bit familiar?"

Chi Fu Dragon Lord suddenly transmitted a message, "Xuan Jin is the reincarnation of ’Jinli Great Venerable’ from the Nine Venerable era... During the Battle of Poison, he suffered severe injuries and ruthlessly ended his life with a decisive gesture, hoping to pursue cultivation in another life."

The Taoists and Buddhists both have reincarnation skills.

The Demon Country... naturally does as well.

"?!"

The Second Master was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He looked towards Chi Fu Dragon Lord, just about to speak.

"In this world, a thousand people have a thousand fates."

"Some reincarnated great cultivators are born in frozen valleys of snow mountains, though they bear the title of ’great destiny holder,’ they lead a miserable existence..."

"Some reincarnated great cultivators are taken back to their sect before their soul even fully awakens."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord communicated calmly, "Compared to the one you mentioned wandering forlornly to Li Lan Mountain, doesn’t Xuan Jin seem more fitting to be labeled as a ’great destiny holder’?"

This single sentence.

The Second Master understood, the person before him was indeed a reincarnated great cultivator, yet his soul had not fully awakened.

"He is still unaware?"

The Second Master frowned, speaking coldly.

"He naturally isn’t aware."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord smiled in communication, "By order of the Great Palace Master, I took him as a disciple from the moment Xuan Jin first developed Spirit Wisdom, and have cultivated him for several decades. Over these years, he has consumed the majority of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace’s creations. The reincarnated soul should have awakened... yet it has been forcibly suppressed."

"..."

Though the Second Master said nothing, his expression grew complex.

He understood.

The intentions behind the cultivation bestowed by Chi Fu Dragon Lord.

The reincarnated great cultivators of this world go to great lengths, even giving up Yang God cultivation and their lives, merely to experience another life and comprehend another path of the Great Dao.

To ascend to the pinnacle, one must exert every effort.

"For... Harmonization?"

The Second Master was silent for a few moments before asking.

"Yes."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord did not hide it, speaking calmly, "In fact, the Great Palace Master has sensed it too, the southern Demon Country hasn’t been peaceful lately. If I am not mistaken, the great destiny holder you mentioned should be connected to the Sword Palace?"

"...?"

The Second Master’s body stiffened slightly.

This was an extremely subtle movement, yet Chi Fu Dragon Lord noticed the flaw.

The answer was just about to be revealed.

"Over the years, the world has known... both Taoism and Buddhism have left behind reincarnation skills."

"However, Da Sui Sword Palace only has a seemingly illusory ’Annihilation Scroll’."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord laughed softly, "Who could have imagined that this Annihilation Scroll truly exists."

For centuries.

Every generation of great cultivators from Da Sui Sword Palace has left their names within the Thirty-three Cave Heavens, carving monuments.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord truly couldn’t fathom who this reincarnator appearing at Li Lan Mountain is right now...

Countless thoughts flashed by.

In reality.

He wasn’t entirely without ideas.

That grim battle back then...

The black-robed woman’s silhouette, one he was unwilling to recall, was eternally engraved in the deepest part of Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s Heart Lake.
