Chapter 1201: Chapter 1195: Nirvana Sage Elder’s New Life

Not every child is born as a blank sheet of paper, waiting for the people and things around them to carve beautiful or scar-riddled stamps upon them.

The child in the thatched cottage arrived carrying a multitude of memories; the reborn soul was rejoicing.

“The bitter paths walked in my past life, I shall not walk again. Descending into the world anew after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, my life hereafter shall face no obstacles.”

“In my past life, I tread on thin ice for years.”

“Reborn as a human, my hot blood has chilled.”

“When I return to the path of Heavenly Ascendance,”

“Those before and behind me are nothing but pigs and dogs!”

“Hahaha, haha…”

The baby’s crying abruptly stopped.

Low and somewhat noisy footsteps gently echoed outside the house, and only then did the most genuine cry of a newborn ring out.

Even without opening his eyes, the Nirvana Sage Elder’s divine soul could feel the peace of the village.

But as silhouettes surrounded his cradle, casting shadows down upon him, he felt the sky collapse.

…

The wailing infant was layered with eighty-one seals.

Li Yaoqing looked at the little life carried in the basket, somewhat curious if this counted as child abuse.

But the one inside was clearly the Nirvana Sage Elder who broke the alliance between the Human and Wu Tribes many years ago, launched a surprise attack on the Western Frontier, and stirred up a storm, taking over twenty Void Refining and several Body Integration experts just to severely injure him.

Thinking of this, Li Yaoqing tied up the hands and feet of the Nirvana Sage Elder, who couldn’t even open his eyes yet, and sprinkled itching powder on him.

Seeing the infant in Yaoqing’s hands crying while violently twisting in the basket, rubbing his bright red body, and then looking at the white powder Yaoqing was sprinkling, Li Wei’s face darkened. “What are you doing?”

Deeply feeling that she was bullying both the old and the young, Li Yaoqing hurriedly pulled her hand back. “He is too fragile; this child is conditioning his body.”

As she spoke, she didn’t forget to fiercely glare at the Nirvana Sage Elder. “Say thank you!”

“Mind your limits. He is, after all, the reincarnation of a mighty figure. If he dies this time, he will truly have no way out, and we won’t be able to extract the information we want.”

“Please rest assured, Old Ancestor. This child knows her limits best.”

Li Yaoqing grinned. The Nirvana Sage Elder in the basket had no choice but to simply pee himself.

The light rain over Azure Cloud Prefecture was still drifting.

When she returned to the City of Merit carrying the basket, the clansmen all raised their heads to look at the cloudy sky.

Uncle Rain’s rain was different from Sword Venerable Drizzle’s rain.

Uncle Rain’s was more manic, taking away the rivers and streams of the entire Azure Cloud Prefecture, even emptying the water wells.

Sword Venerable Drizzle’s rain moisturized things silently.

His sword was planted on the Dao Gate, and it would take at least a century of light rain washing over it to push the Dao Gate open.

Feeling the spiritual qi in the rainwater falling over Azure Cloud Prefecture, Li Wei raised an eyebrow, secretly muttering, “Top-tier artificial rainmaking.”

Li Yaoqing said that for the next century, the heaven and earth spiritual entities and the commoners of Azure Cloud Prefecture would be blessed, and the heaven and earth spiritual qi and karmic luck would rise by a degree.

…

Arriving at the City of Merit, inside the Li Clan’s main hall.

“…”

The cradle was placed on the ground.

The Nirvana Sage Elder remained silent, feeling the itching that still lingered on his body.

It wasn’t that he stopped crying; his voice had gone hoarse from crying.

For the first time, he felt his body so fragile, unable to suppress his body’s instinctive crying and defensive reactions.

Simultaneously, he truly realized that the Li Clan’s Yaoqing was genuinely capable, leaving him with no control over his own life and death.

The Nirvana Sage Elder never expected to experience such a massive rise and fall.

His new life met its end before it even began.

It wasn’t that he didn’t harbor thoughts of escaping, but the eighty-one layers of seals on his body were the final straw.

“How did they do it? Just how did they do it?”

“I was just reborn. I haven’t even opened my eyes to see the world anew, and the more perfect life and Dao path following my rebirth haven’t even started…”

“Ah!!!”

His soul roared. There was no more terror, only the hopelessness of finding a dead end right after seeing a glimpse of light.

He was just placed right in the center, surrounded by the Li Clan members. No one paid attention to this little thing.

Then…

“Waa!!!” He cried out silently, because as footsteps echoed outside the hall, he sensed an aura of the same root and origin—his Great Dao of Heavenly Fire!

He felt the Li Clan was humiliating him.

Back then, he said he would return with a Dao stronger than the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire, and now he couldn’t even cry out loud.

At this time.

Li Wei had already returned to the Ancestral Space.

[Special Event — The Nirvana Sage Elder’s New Life]

[Your family once severely injured the Nirvana Sage Elder. Years of pursuit forced him to assimilate his body into heaven and earth, relying on a drop of Nirvana blood left by the old phoenix of the Divine Bird Tribe to be reborn.]

[Now that the Nirvana Sage Elder has gained a new lease on life, a drop of phoenix blood has granted him the phoenix bloodline. He will rely on his experience as a mighty figure to cultivate anew.

Your family will face the resentment of a reincarnated mighty figure; one day, the Nirvana Sage Elder will return as a god and enact the most maddened revenge upon your family!]

“…”

Originally, considering the Nirvana Sage Elder was a mighty figure after all, even if the other party had fallen into disaster, he intended to leave him a bit of dignity.

Now, seeing this special event prompt, Li Wei’s forehead was covered in black lines.

In the main hall, Li Yaoqing, who was listening to Li Chang reporting on family matters, suddenly froze as the spirit tablet lit up.

Li Yaoqing asked in confusion, “Sprinkle more itching powder on him? Repeatedly sprinkle it?”

Consequently, amidst the noise of the Nirvana Sage Elder frantically rubbing against his cradle, Li Wei tallied his gains in the space while listening to the events that had occurred in the family over the past year.

[While your family resolved the ‘Life and Death Crisis’ special event in Azure Cloud Prefecture and fought Uncle Rain for over a year, the major factions outside Azure Cloud Prefecture also paid attention to the prefecture, engaging in overt and covert struggles.]

[Special Event — Grandhaven Prefecture]

[At the same time enemies struck Azure Cloud Prefecture, Empress Wenren Xianyi secretly ordered the major hidden factions to head to Grandhaven Prefecture to prepare for the Wu Tribe invasion from the Southern Frontier.

Now that Azure Cloud is safe and sound, the battle orders for Grandhaven Prefecture were quietly rescinded.]

[Special Event — Intercepted Descendants]

[On the day disaster struck Azure Cloud Prefecture, your descendants in the Western Frontier—Li Tianqi, Li Tianming, Li Changsheng, and Li Changyao—prepared to return to Azure Cloud Prefecture to assist, but were intercepted by a maze array for seven days and were forced to retreat to the Golden Toad Divine Palace.

Your descendants faintly sensed the shadow of the Peerless Hall.]

…….

“Bitch.”

This trick of intercepting his clansmen and having forces preemptively stationed in Grandhaven Prefecture—Li Wei could figure out with half a brain who was playing tricks behind the scenes.

At the same time, Li Wei’s heart skipped a beat.

“Which means, the Peerless Hall is actually cooperating with the Empress?”

“But why on earth is that bitch in the Golden Throne Room so determined to drive our Li Clan to our deaths?”

Li Wei furrowed his brows deeply.

He racked his brains but still couldn’t figure out Wenren Xianyi’s goal.

If it was simply because the Azure Cloud Li Clan had developed too rapidly and threatened the Imperial Dynasty, that reason was far too far-fetched.

Neither the Human Emperor nor Min Youguo were afraid; at most, they would just try to scheme against the Li Clan a bit.

Anyway, everyone was accustomed to scheming against each other—so much so that they almost formed a friendship through it, always allowing some leeway in their actions.

However, Wenren Xianyi’s sudden intervention, with her far too ruthless approach, changed the dynamic.

Furthermore, the Li Clan’s most crucial trump card, the Southern Frontier, wasn’t even taken seriously by Wenren Xianyi.

She seemed to wish the Wu Tribe would invade. It was simply bizarre. Sometimes, Li Wei truly felt that Wenren Xianyi was a spy for the Wu Tribe.

“So where does the problem lie?” Li Wei scratched his chin.

He was somewhat planning to go ask her personally, while also calculating the gains and losses.

Lost in this thought, two days passed, maintaining the exact same posture.

“…”

Amidst his thoughts, Li Yaoqing came to report, “Old Ancestor, the little Nirvana thief has spoken.”

Li Wei’s eyes lit up brightly.

After this battle, he had too much he wanted to ask, especially knowing that the Empress and the Peerless Hall were cooperating.

…

Arriving at the main hall, Li Wei was slightly taken aback.

The cradle was still the same cradle, and the infant inside was still squirming.

In mid-air, however, the previously extraordinary figure of the Nirvana Sage Elder had appeared.

He just lacked his former majesty.

His soul had been summoned out and was subconsciously scratching its back—presumably, the soul was reacting to the physical body’s itching, making for an incredibly bizarre sight.

Standing in front of him was Li Zhiheng.

After this great battle, Li Zhiheng had acquired the [Soul-Holding Lamp].

Coupled with his intrinsic [Heavenly Dao Divine Heart], these two items were simply a perfect match for manipulating souls.

Speaking of which, Li Zhiheng’s technique [Inner Soul World] shared origins with the zombie ‘Soul Duke’ in the Underworld, as he had cultivated many of the Soul Duke’s techniques.

But cultivation methods and techniques in the cultivation world varied.

The same thing cultivated by a different person would yield another kind of usage.

Cultivators often made their own adjustments based on the original methods and techniques, combining them with their own spiritual roots, bloodlines, and spiritual entities.

If one did not know how to assimilate external things for their own use, they could never make progress.

“Is Zhiheng aiming to cultivate in the direction of illusion and souls?” Li Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.

Seeing Li Zhiheng becoming less and less affected by the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart, he also felt somewhat gratified.

Having reached his current realm, he also understood that the Zhao Clan’s Old Ancestor had previously relied on the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart to cultivate ‘Devouring Heaven and Luck’—right now, the corpse of the Zhao Clan’s Old Ancestor was still inside Dalong’s Heavenly Coffin.

That Dao path was good, but it would inevitably lead Li Zhiheng down the path of ‘eating descendants’ and ‘stealing karmic luck’.

That was an untrodden Dao path, and also a dead end.

Cultivating illusion and souls, although requiring exploration and accumulation without the assistance of predecessors, was still better than a dead end.

Furthermore, Li Wei also felt that the method of using the [Soul-Holding Lamp] to extract the little Nirvana’s soul was extraordinary.

The Nirvana Sage Elder saw the Azure Cloud Li Clan members surrounding him.

Having already fallen to this state, what did he have to fear? Seeing the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor arrive, he instantly exuded a surge of heroic pride. “Shameless…”

“Boom!”

Li Wei instantly waved his hand, slapping him silly. The soul flew into the wall.

In a flash, he arrived in front of the dazed Nirvana Sage Elder, grabbed his soul by the throat, and said helplessly,

“Old thief, how old are you? Grow a brain. Look at the state you’ve fallen into now. Don’t you know how to play the coward? Don’t end up in a state where you wish for death.”

“To tell you the truth, if you weren’t still useful, I would have soul-searched you long ago. You wouldn’t want to finally manage a rebirth only to end it in vain, would you?”

“Think carefully about the Wu Tribe members who, when you were down on your luck, wanted nothing more than to kill you. By the way, your current body is…”

“Human Race.”

The Nirvana Sage Elder looked down in horror at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, who was enveloped in black mist.

Beneath that black mist lay an unimaginably cunning and sinister face, and his hoarse voice sounded like a devil’s.

“You could also become a member of the Demon Tribe or a Ghost, or even a pig, dog, cow, or horse.

Since my Yaowen could make you reincarnate into Azure Cloud Prefecture, he has plenty of ways to deal with you.”

“Right now, you only have one choice: obey obediently.”

Behind them.

The Seven Ironclads let out highly untimely ‘Jie jie jie’ sinister laughs.

Coupled with Li Wei’s increasingly dark face, the Nirvana Sage Elder looked as if he had lost his parents. “What do you want to know?”

“I want to know what you and Min Tiange were fighting over in the Western Frontier back then. And his Dao…”
