Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

“Oh!” The Dragon Girl showed interest, looking at him and asking, “The Heavenly Constitution Road has truly hidden away?”

The man grinned, “No, they’ve gone to the Reincarnation Realm in the East Sea!”

“Reincarnation Realm! What do they intend to do?” The Dragon Girl exclaimed.

The Reincarnation Realm in the East Sea is neither a realm nor a grotto heaven but a special sea area.

No one can clearly explain the origin of that sea area, but every major faction has some understanding of the Reincarnation Realm.

The Reincarnation Realm has always been considered forbidden ground; whether by the Heavenly Constitution Road or other major forces, they all see it as forbidden ground, and restrict anyone from entering it.

The main reason is that the Reincarnation Realm contains many dangerous creatures, such that even a Golden Core Cultivator entering it would find it hard to return unscathed.

Moreover, there are unknown entities within the Reincarnation Realm, entities not only powerful but also extremely brutal, attacking all living beings that enter the Reincarnation Realm, sometimes even emerging from the Reincarnation Realm to hunt those who once entered.

People call it the Reincarnation Realm because at the center of that sea area stands an island with a stone stele inscribed with the three large characters ‘Reincarnation Realm’.

Every major faction has speculated about the origin of the Reincarnation Realm; some believe it might be formed from the fall of a grotto heaven owned by a major force in ancient times, others consider it might be an item from beyond the realm, thrown into the Wanhua Domain by some mighty power, given they found no description of the Reincarnation Realm’s origin in numerous records.

Aside from these, the Reincarnation Realm possesses another characteristic: the creatures within do not reincarnate.

This reincarnation does not refer to transmigration through the six realms, but the reincarnation of the soul.

The Wanhua Domain has neither an Underworld nor six paths of reincarnation, but it does have its own cycle of life and death.

After death, a being’s physical body decomposes, the soul scatters, the True Spirit also perishes, but the scattered soul power does not disappear; it will reassemble under the operation of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, giving birth to new True Spirits, subsequently obtaining new life within a fetus.

This reincarnation follows the rules of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, and the so-called lifespan is also part of the reincarnation path.

However, no reincarnation path exists in the Reincarnation Realm; a cultivator’s divine soul entering the Reincarnation Realm will no longer suffer the hardship of reincarnation.

In other words, entering the Reincarnation Realm could lead to obtaining a sort of divine soul longevity.

As long as you can maintain the vitality of your body, you can live an endless life.

Therefore, many unknown entities hide within the Reincarnation Realm, including brutal undead, formidable corpses, ancient cultivators lingering on, and monsters dubbed as demon fiends.

Demon fiends, neither ghost nor charm, are forms gathered by evil, manifesting resentment, carrying bone-corroding wrath. More than a yard in length, the body resembles a serpent entwined with rotten wood, distorted and irregular, surface clad in charred black scale armor, each scale edge turning up with blood stains, oozing dark green mucus beneath each scale, which sizzles into blue smoke upon contact with the ground, emitting a stench of decomposed carrion mingled with stale earth.

Its limbs are like bones wrapped in decayed skin, claws are dark yellow hooks, tailless yet with seven gray-black tentacles extending from behind the waist, ends adorned with translucent sacs, within which small soul shadows can be vaguely seen struggling.

As they move, faint gray mist surrounds them, within which specters of resentful ghosts flicker, with black moss sprouting and poisonous mushrooms growing where they tread; calm brings chilling cold, motion causes wailing.

These demon fiends are the most perilous entities in the Reincarnation Realm; although the Reincarnation Realm can provide cultivators with a form of divine soul immortality, few will choose to enter unless absolutely necessary.

Without entering, you will end your life peacefully; if you do enter, you may become food for these demon fiends.

Unless you find a way to evade their search and pursuit, it’s better not to enter the Reincarnation Realm.

The Dragon Girl was puzzled why the Heavenly Constitution Road would enter the Reincarnation Realm, rationalizing that if the Heavenly Canon Daoist Master entered the Reincarnation Realm, that would be understandable, but the entire Heavenly Constitution Road heading to the Reincarnation Realm left her baffled.

The Heavenly Canon Daoist Master is already at the brink of exhaustion, attempting to enter the Reincarnation Realm to prolong life is rather normal.

Many Authority Masters in history eventually ventured into the Reincarnation Realm, but none would bring their entire lineage into the Reincarnation Realm.

The reason is simple; an Authority Master might preserve life in the Reincarnation Realm, but Golden Core Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators not only serve no purpose but rather become burdens there.

As for hiding them in a grotto heaven, that wouldn’t work either, because the entire Reincarnation Realm is under a Void Seal, preventing anyone from accessing the void, and thus placing a Pocket World Gate within the Reincarnation Realm is impossible.

To enter the Reincarnation Realm, you can only fly in.

“They might be searching for something!” the man replied.

The Dragon Girl was pensive; as a True Dragon, she knew quite a lot about the Reincarnation Realm due to memory inheritances from Dragon Clan ancestors, albeit many of these memory inheritances were vague, they still provided numerous unknown secrets.

The existence of the Reincarnation Realm predates what people imagined, already existing since ancient times, yet neither the Ancient Dragon Clan nor others knew when exactly it began.

Throughout countless years, innumerable individuals tried exploring the secrets of the Reincarnation Realm, but most never emerged once entered.

A few who came out did not grasp a complete understanding of the Reincarnation Realm.

As for what within the Reincarnation Realm is worth the Heavenly Constitution Road venturing in search of, there are indeed countless things.
