Chapter 309: A Lifetime of Reincarnation, A Hundred Years of Time

Chu Liang circulated his internal energy, directing the bronze rust, causing it to approach a Three Lives Flower.

With a whoosh, a hazy white halo suddenly appeared on the bronze rust.

Within the halo, the Three Lives Flower began to wither, rapidly decaying as if it had experienced countless years, eventually turning into dust.

“What a strange power!”

Chu Liang was startled and quickly stopped.

For those old Grandmasters whose lifespan was not long, this thing was simply a death warrant!

If used well, any enemy would be eroded into ashes by the passage of time!

At this moment, a feeling of weakness suddenly rose from within his body.

Chu Liang was alarmed and immediately checked himself, discovering that his accumulated energy had been completely exhausted, his meridians were empty, and even his Qi Sea was depleted!

“I only activated it for less than a breath, and it actually depleted all my internal energy!”

Chu Liang quickly took out the Immortal Water and began to absorb it frantically to replenish his body’s deficit.

He made up his mind that he would try not to use this thing unless he encountered a particularly critical situation.

The treasures had all been obtained, and the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror had also absorbed enough power of time. It was time to leave this place.

“Why hasn’t the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror returned yet?”

Chu Liang sent out a burst of energy, attempting to retrieve the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror.

Just then, the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror emitted a brilliant light, releasing an endless golden glow that illuminated the stone wall on one side.

The stone wall trembled violently and exploded on the spot, sending shattered stones flying.

“That’s……”

Chu Liang was surprised. A hole had appeared on the stone wall, and the faint sound of water could be heard from within.

Clearly, this abyss was not so simple!

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror’s light grew stronger as it slowly flew forward, entering the hole.

Chu Liang followed closely behind, his steps slow and cautious.

“Splash……”

After walking for a while in the cave, the sound of water gradually grew louder, and a river emitting cold air appeared before Chu Liang’s eyes. The surface of the river was shrouded in a white mist, making it impossible to see its depth.

A gray stone arch bridge spanned the river, connecting the two banks.

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror, like a guiding light, slowly flew across the river.

Chu Liang also arrived at the edge of the stone bridge. Just as he was about to step onto the bridge, he suddenly noticed a broken bowl beside it.

“Why is there a bowl here? Could it be that someone used to live here before?”

Chu Liang bent down and picked up the broken bowl.

Just looking at its appearance, the broken bowl was just an ordinary pottery bowl, earthy and unremarkable.

But it was unusually hard. No matter how much force Chu Liang exerted, he couldn’t cause any damage to it.

“Such a hard bowl, yet it’s broken.”

Chu Liang was secretly surprised and put the broken bowl away.

Even he couldn’t damage it. This broken bowl was definitely a treasure.

At this time, the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror had already flown to the other side of the river, its light flickering as if urging Chu Liang on.

Chu Liang didn’t linger any longer and immediately stepped onto the stone bridge.

As soon as his right foot landed, he suddenly trembled, and another bout of dizziness washed over him. Before his eyes, like a revolving lantern, flashed some fragments, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

Among them were his experiences in this life, as well as those of his previous life, and some that he had never experienced at all.

With each step he took, new fragments would emerge.

“What a strange feeling.”

Chu Liang held firm to his mind, not allowing himself to be affected by these fragments, and walked step by step.

After crossing the river, all the fragments disappeared without a trace.

During this time, the puppet had been walking beside him, remaining silent, silently walking across the entire stone bridge.

After crossing the river, he finally spoke slowly, “This place is so strange. Could it be that the legendary treasure is here?”

Chu Liang was puzzled, “Senior, what treasure?”

“Keep walking forward. If it’s not there, then so be it. If it is, then it will be an earth-shattering fortune, far surpassing all the fortuitous encounters you’ve had in this life!”

“Alright.”

Chu Liang didn’t ask any further.

He followed the guidance of the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror and continued forward.

After walking for some distance, a faint light suddenly appeared in the dark void ahead.

Seeing that faint light, the puppet’s body suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if he was particularly excited, and his voice even rose a few pitches, “This kind of treasure actually exists!”

Seeing him so excited, Chu Liang became even more curious.

What exactly was this treasure?

After walking for another distance, the road ahead ended.

At the end of the road, there was a cold, misty stone, its surface emitting a faint white glow.

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror hovered above this stone, rising and falling, its own light connecting with the stone’s light, as if they were about to merge into one.

“The treasure is this stone?” Chu Liang was puzzled.

“That’s right, this is the Reincarnation Stone!” The puppet spoke, extremely excited.

“Senior, what is the use of the Reincarnation Stone?”

“To create a lifetime of reincarnation for you out of thin air!”

◈◈◈

“I don’t quite understand.”

Chu Liang frowned. What did it mean to create a lifetime of reincarnation out of thin air?

He had a vague guess in his heart, but he felt it was too shocking, so he didn’t dare to confirm it.

The puppet immediately explained, “Chu Liang, this Reincarnation Stone can take you through a reincarnation, allowing you to have a new life with your memories intact. When that life ends, you will return with all your strength and memories.”

“This……”

Chu Liang was shaken. Wouldn’t this be equivalent to being reborn with memories?

When that life ends, he could return with all his strength and memories!

This was simply too heaven-defying.

In other words, he could gain an extra lifetime to cultivate!

“What’s it like specifically?” Chu Liang was a little uneasy. This process sounded too strange.

“I’m not sure either.” The puppet shook his head. He had only heard of this kind of treasure, and this was his first time seeing it.

“What if something goes wrong……”

Chu Liang stared at the Reincarnation Stone, his expression changing.

The word ‘reincarnation’ was not to be taken lightly. What if he got lost in the reincarnation?

Just as he was thinking, the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror suddenly turned into a stream of light and entered Chu Liang’s forehead, returning to his mind.

At the same time, the Reincarnation Stone emitted a brilliant light, enveloping Chu Liang’s entire body.

“This……”

Before Chu Liang could react, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Thud!

He fell to the ground on the spot.

◈◈◈

While Chu Liang was unconscious, the outside world was in turmoil.

The Heavenly Immortal Sect Master had emerged from seclusion!

He was surrounded by brilliant immortal light, as if he were a true immortal in the world. He defeated the Grandmaster experts of the major righteous sects one after another, his strength unmatched, shaking the world!

“Where is Chu Liang? Come and fight me!”

The Heavenly Immortal Sect Master roared, his voice shaking heaven and earth.

But he received no response.

Upon learning that Chu Liang had entered the Land of Immortal Ascension Opportunity, he charged into the land that very day, searching for Chu Liang’s traces.

Regarding the Heavenly Immortal Sect Master’s strength, there was much discussion in the outside world.

“Could it be that he has already become an immortal?”

“Can Chu Liang withstand him?”

For the time being, Chu Liang was unable to know about these things.

◈◈◈

Time passed, and time was endless.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Liang slowly woke up.

He rubbed his forehead and slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a splitting headache.

“Where is this?”

Chu Liang slowly got up, enduring the headache and observing his surroundings.

He clearly remembered that he was still in the darkness at the bottom of the abyss the previous moment.

But now, he was in a dilapidated temple. The temple was overgrown with weeds outside, and the statues of gods and Buddhas inside were also broken. It seemed to be in a desolate area outside the city.

“Brother, you’re finally awake!” A thin scholar wearing a square scarf and holding a scripture was looking at Chu Liang with concern.

Chu Liang sized him up and found that he had no trace of cultivation. He was just an ordinary person.

“You’re a scholar?” Chu Liang asked him.

“Yes, I am Xu Wenyan, from Xu County in Yingchuan.” The scholar was very polite and answered earnestly.

“Yingchuan?” Chu Liang was startled. “Is this Yu Province?”

“Yes.”

“How did I get here……”

Chu Liang couldn’t understand. How did he suddenly get from the Western Regions to Yu Province?

Could it be because of that Reincarnation Stone?

He immediately asked, “Scholar Xu, what year is it now?”

“Brother, it is now the thirty-ninth year of Yuande, the eighth month of the golden autumn.”

“Yuande?”

Chu Liang pondered silently.

The current Emperor of the Great Liang, Liang Hongdao’s reign title was “Tianyou”.

And the one who used “Yuande” as the reign title was Emperor Muzong, three generations before the current emperor, more than a hundred years ago!

Could it be that the Reincarnation Stone had sent him back more than a hundred years?
