With a grim face, Mo Qinglei said in a low voice, âIn his previous life, Yuan Jiuchuan was a rogue cultivator without a powerful sect to back him.
âBut his cultivation talent was unmatched. The unique lightning incantations he practiced allowed him to channel lightning power from spiritual tools, and even other Qi warriors who practiced lightning power. Because of this, his path of cultivation was filled with blood and killing.
âWho knows how many Qi warriors who practiced lightning power have died at his hands.
âBut that was the path he chose. His brutal and ruthless behavior set him against many powerful experts and sects that practiced lightning power.
âMy sect, the Heavenly Thunder Sect, was one of them.
âMany years ago, my father and a few powerful experts who also practiced lightning power set up a trap for Yuan Jiuchuan by telling him that a Heaven Nourished grade lightning-attributed spiritual material had been discovered in the Shatter Battlefield.
âHe took the bait and went to the place. My father and those Saint domain experts worked together to activate the arrangements they had set up earlier, and killed him. Even his private domain was shattered.
âBut even so, a wisp of his soul essence escaped and vanished.
âMy father thought that wisp of his soul essence wouldnât be able to survive the harsh environment in the depths of the Shatter Battlefield anyways, and thus didnât spend much time looking for it.
âWho would have thought that he actually sought out an opportunity to be reborn.â
âWhat was his cultivation base in his previous life?â Yin Yanan asked.
Mo Qinglei sighed and said, âMiddle Saint domain.â
Everyone present gasped with astonishment. âMiddle Saint domain?!â
With a knitted brow, Mo Qinglei continued, âIf my father and his friends hadnât killed him, he would have been able to advance to the late Saint domain. However, the special incantations he practiced were so overbearing that he became a nightmare to other Qi warriors who also practiced lightning incantations. They lived in fear of being sought out and drained of their lightning power, which they had spent their whole lives gathering and refining.
âI was only so certain that heâs Yuan Jiuchuan because... that Thunder King Seal was forged from a piece from his shattered private domain.
âHe was able to drain my lightning power without effort, along with my Thunder Beastâs.
âThe man didnât trust anyone his whole life, and didnât take in any disciples, so no one besides him could have been able to use those uniquely overbearing incantations.
âThat said, Iâm certain that heâs Yuan Jiuchuan, a reborn cultivator.â
Mo Qingleiâs words silenced everyone present. Even Yin Yanan, who was very confident in her eighth grade Frost Blood Python, congratulated herself for making the decision to leave that region of danger.
RUMBLE!
A large piece of sky behind them was suddenly engulfed in lightning bolts.
The air-transportation spiritual tool Nie Tian was on was now separated from that region by fifty kilometers, yet he still saw the terrifying scene, and heard the heaven-shaking thunderclaps as he turned around.
With a grim face, Mo Qinglei said, âIâm afraid everyone there except the three recently-arrived outsiders are going to die. Even those three outsiders with powerful magical treasures wonât necessarily be able to escape the fate of death. That Thunder King Seal was forged from a piece of his shattered private domain. Now that he holds it, heâll be able to display ten times more power than I ever could!â
A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Yin Yananâs mouth as she said, âFrom the look of it, it was indeed a wise move for us to leave that region in advance. A reborn middle Saint domain expert who has obtained a spiritual tool forged from a piece of his shattered private domain... I suppose my eighth grade Frost Blood Python wouldnât be able to match his strength indeed...â
Mu Biqiong remained silent, yet a shred of fear flashed across her deep eyes.
The demonic flowers inside of her werenât fully grown yet. Given her current cultivation base, she couldnât even harness the flowers, so naturally she wouldnât be able to match Yuan Jiuchuan in battle.
After taking a short pause to gather his thoughts, Mo Qinglei continued, âThe reason why Yuan Jiuchuan was so bent on seizing that Fortune Well was probably because the wisp of his soul essence that escaped annihilation was somewhat defective. If it wasnât, as a reborn cultivator, he shouldnât have suffered from a lifespan problem.
âOnce reborn cultivators awaken their memories from their previous life, given enough cultivation resources, the speed at which they progress in cultivation will be unimaginably fast. So they most likely wonât need to worry about their lifespans at all.
âIn fact, some Qi warriors only choose to be reborn due to their insufficient lifespans and inability to make breakthroughs within a short period of time.
âGiven Yuan Jiuchuanâs understanding of lightning power and the fact that he was a rogue cultivator, he shouldnât have been limited by his lifespan now.
âThere must have been some problem with that wisp of his soul essence, so he had to come back here to channel soul power with the profound fortune from that Fortune Well to mend his soul.
âAccording to the legends, the soul power from the Fortune Wells do have such an incredible effect.
âAt this moment, he might have mended his soul and recovered most of his memories from his previous life. After his profound understanding of lightning and thunder is awakened, heâll progress at lightning speed on his future path of cultivation. Perhaps heâll be able to recover his peak strength, and return to the Saint domain within a century.â
With these words, Mo Qinglei grew worried. âIf that happens, my father and our Heavenly Thunder Sect will become the primary target of his vengeance.â
âI suppose the reason why he only drained my lightning power, but kept me alive, was because he wanted to strip my memories and learn the current situation of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, as well as the location of the spatial rift that connects the Shatter Battlefield to the Domain of Endless Thunder. If I became his prisoner, Iâd be no better than being dead, as heâd definitely torture me day and night.â
With these words, Mo Qinglei couldnât help but shiver.
Nie Tianâs eyebrows rose as he said, âMany Qi warriors may face insufficient lifespans at certain points. Being reborn seems to be a pretty good option.â
He remembered Hua Mu and his master, Wu Ji.
Both Hua Mu and Wu Ji had faced this problem, if he hadnât brought back two Fruits of Life for them, they might have died before they could achieve their next breakthroughs in cultivation.
Therefore, he was fascinated by the perks of being reborn Mo Qinglei had mentioned.
Mo Qinglei gave a cold harrumph. âNo one would choose to be reborn unless they donât have a choice. The disadvantages of being reborn are far greater than the advantages!
âFor every reborn cultivator, being reborn means theyâll have to give up everything they have accumulated their whole life, including their bodies, domains, and understanding of powers, which many people canât just give up.
âAfter theyâre reborn, they might easily be killed before they build up their strength again. Once they use their special incantations from their previous lives, and expose their identities, their enemies may soon find them, and theyâll be killed beyond the shadow of a doubt.
âBesides, it usually takes a long time for reborn cultivators to restart from zero. Some are killed before they can even awaken their memories from their previous lives, while others die of natural causes, knowing absolutely nothing about their previous lives.
âEven if they manage to recover their memories and achieve rapid breakthroughs in cultivation, theyâll have to look for all kinds of precious materials to rebuild their domains once theyâve reached the Soul realm. Those precious materials are usually extremely valuable and hard to find.
âSo reborn cultivators might not be as lucky as in their previous lives as they were to be able to obtain all the necessary materials to rebuild their domains.â
After hearing Mo Qingleiâs explanation of the disadvantages of being reborn, Nie Tian pondered for a while, and realized that it was indeed not as good as it sounded to be reborn.
Mo Qinglei continued, âOnce Yuan Jiuchuan finishes mending his soul, heâll definitely start a massacre to prevent his identity from being exposed. After all, he had too many enemies, and he hasnât even entered the Void domain yet. Heâll definitely get killed if he runs into his Saint domain enemies from his previous life.
âBesides, heâll need a large amount of spirit jades and other spiritual materials to help him build his domain. In order to get those things, heâll have to kill a great number of people. Those who are still gathered by the Fortune Wells are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.â
Nie Tian nodded to show that he understood.
Yin Yananâs air-transportation spiritual tool picked up speed as they flew farther and farther from the land of trouble.
She only accelerated because Mo Qingleiâs words made her worry that Yuan Jiuchuan would come after them after he was finished with those people.
Four hours passed...
Yin Yanan summoned another air-transportation spiritual tool from within her ring of holding, tossed Mo Qinglei onto it, and said, âGood luck to you.â
âWhat are you doing?!â Mo Qinglei asked angrily.
With an icy look in her eyes, Yin Yanan said, âYouâre Yuan Jiuchuanâs primary target. Itâs far too dangerous for us to have you with us all the time. Weâve already carried out our promise by getting you out of that region. We canât protect you forever. That air-transportation spiritual tool of mine runs on spirit stones. You can go wherever you want on it, as long as you donât go with us.â
With these words, she restarted her air-transportation spiritual tool, which shot into the distance despite Mo Qingleiâs furious roars.
âWeâre safer this way,â Yin Yanan said to Nie Tian.
Nie Tian nodded. âWe did everything called for by humanity and duty for him. From now on, heâll have to depend on himself to survive this tribulation.â
Chai Longge and his sister, who were following them from a considerable distance, didnât hear their conversation with Mo Qinglei, and thus were rather confused to see Mo Qinglei being tossed onto another air-transportation spiritual tool.
SHEW!
A streak of dark-green light suddenly flashed past Chai Longge and his sister, and rapidly approached Nie Tian and the girls.
It was a transformation of Fata, the Floragrim.
âCan we please have a talk?â Fata asked aloud.
