"You've reached the second major stage of the Rebirth Art. Your spiritual cultivation is also at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, and it won't be long before you break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage. I taught the Rebirth Art to those two little girls back then, and I've refined it extensively over the years. So, I will bestow upon you the improved third level of the Rebirth Art."
"If you cultivate fast enough, and your spirit can roam the River Styx, perhaps we might meet again."
Lin An joked with a smile, then gently touched Li Shuang's forehead.
A large chunk of information flooded into Li Shuang's sea of consciousness.
Li Shuang didn't have the mind to check it yet, only softly saying, "Okay, then I'll cultivate quickly and strive to meet you in the River Styx."
Lin An just smiled.
For those with high cultivation like them, if they wished, they could stay in the River Styx for a long time.
But Lin An didn't plan to linger in the River Styx.
He intended to pass through the River Styx quickly and reincarnate.
He was in a hurry to confront that damned demon seed! Although his reincarnation wouldn't have the memories of this life, he would definitely not be an ordinary character. Getting into the world and growing up earlier was the right course of action!
Li Shuang's rapid progress this time was due to saving tens of thousands of true spirits from the Langya Sect.
Next time, where would she find such an opportunity for rapid improvement?
She probably wouldn't be able to reach the River Styx before his reincarnation.
But Lin An didn't say any of this; he just smiled and said, "Then I'll look forward to it."
Li Shuang nodded seriously.
Then.
She glanced at Lin An.
Lin An nodded slightly to her.
Li Shuang silently raised her hand, and the River Styx appeared once more.
Now, Li Shuang was adept at using the Divine Light of Rebirth.
She simply waved her hand.
Thousands of specks of light converged on her fingertip.
She gently pointed at Lin An, and the Divine Light of Rebirth enveloped him.
At this moment.
Some gray or black impurities should have appeared.
But deep within Lin An, layers of golden light emerged, even surpassing the brilliance of Li Shuang's Divine Light of Rebirth.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Shuang's eyes.
She suddenly realized.
This was...
Merit of the Heavenly Dao!
She also had some Merit of the Heavenly Dao on her.
But her tiny bit of Heavenly Dao merit was like a drop in the ocean compared to Lin An's.
The vast Merit of the Heavenly Dao on Lin An even overshadowed the light of the Divine Light of Rebirth.
Lin An himself was a little surprised.
Didn't the Heavenly Dao say... it had stripped him of his merit?
These Merits of the Heavenly Dao still existed!
In the sky, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared.
A golden bridge extended from Lin An's feet into the River Styx.
Lin An's expression couldn't help but become complicated.
The Heavenly Dao... had ultimately held back on him.
Reincarnating with these Heavenly Dao merits, his achievements in his next life would likely surpass this one.
"Farewell, Senior Brother," Li Shuang bowed her hands.
Lin An nodded, then turned and walked step by step into the River Styx.
He slowly disappeared at the end of the River Styx, never looking back.
Li Shuang watched silently.
When the River Styx disappeared, a soft sobbing sound suddenly came from behind her.
Li Shuang turned around.
She saw Xue Luo and the others standing behind her, at some unknown point.
"Seniors, you..." Li Shuang was a little surprised.
They... weren't even truly drunk.
Xue Luo subtly lifted her gaze, her tears instantly evaporating. She smiled, "Life and death, reincarnation, it's just the way of the world. Actually, I don't like farewells either."
She had a free and easy demeanor, as if the sobbing sound just now was only Li Shuang's delusion.
"Right, it's just the way of the world."
"We just didn't bother to watch."
The others also put on a tough front.
Li Shuang's eyes curved, not exposing them.
Xue Luo felt a little embarrassed under Li Shuang's gaze, and couldn't help but say, "Now, all the true spirits have found their destination. I can already feel the connection between the Langya Sect and the outside world. The Langya Sect is located in another dimensional space. But now, I can freely enter and exit this dimensional space. Sending you off will be easy."
"However, there is no Heavenly Dao rule covering this place, so it won't be able to teleport you back to your original location. After leaving this dimensional space, you will appear in the Red Leaf Forest north of the Central Continent. You'll have to make your own way wherever you want to go then."
Li Shuang cupped her hands, "Thank you, Senior."
Xue Luo shook her head: "It's nothing. Before you leave, redeem your points."
The Heavenly Dao rules had disappeared, so even if she didn't follow the point exchange rules, it wouldn't matter.
However...
She had no reason not to follow them.
"Thank you, Senior," Li Shuang then meticulously began to examine the list of resources.
Actually, for her, the most important thing wasn't obtaining the most valuable items. It was choosing items with the best cost-performance ratio.
After all, no matter how precious an item was, with her Heaven and Earth Smeltery, she could exchange it for value points.
Li Shuang thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Xue Luo, may I take a look at the items in person?"
She needed the Heaven and Earth Smeltery to evaluate the value points of each item to know what would be more cost-effective to exchange for.
Xue Luo nodded: "Naturally, you may."
Xue Luo was now the sect leader of the Langya Sect, and everything in the Langya Sect was under her control.
She opened the treasury door, allowing Li Shuang to choose freely.
Li Shuang was not in a hurry to choose.
Inside the Langya Sect, there were many excellent items that were now extinct!
Some things, she hadn't even heard of.
Taking this opportunity, she could let the Heaven and Earth Smeltery record them one by one.
Once recorded, the Heaven and Earth Smeltery could replicate them.
Li Shuang was like a mouse in a rice bin, looking here and there, thoroughly engrossed.
There were simply too many items in the Langya Sect.
It took her a full three days to record all the items in the vault into the Heaven and Earth Smeltery.
Then, based on cost-effectiveness, Li Shuang selected a pile of items.
Xue Luo looked at Li Shuang with some surprise.
She didn't choose those rare treasures, but instead picked some strange things.
But this was Li Shuang's own choice.
Xue Luo quickly gave all the items to Li Shuang.
Li Shuang's storage ring wasn't large enough, so Xue Luo also gave her an extra-large capacity storage ring. Only then did all the items fit.
Li Shuang looked at her gains this time, and couldn't help but gasp.
From just one secret realm of Langya Palace, her gains this time, if converted entirely into value points, amounted to a staggering five million!
Such a vast amount of value points would be more than enough for her to cultivate to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Xue Luo smiled, "These are the rewards given to you by the Heavenly Dao rules. And Langya Sect's thank-you gift hasn't been given yet."
There's a thank-you gift too?
Li Shuang quickly said, "Senior, this is already more than enough!"
Xue Luo shook her head and said, "Come with me."
She turned and walked away, and Li Shuang could only hastily follow.
Xue Luo directly led Li Shuang to the Scripture Pavilion.
The Langya Palace secret realm is over~~~~ This secret realm was a new attempt, trying out a rule-based bizarre story feel. Haha, do you all still find it interesting?
