At worst, it would merely mean one additional resident.

But ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍what if their temperament was vile?

Gu ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Yan slightly shook his head.

He was not afraid of fighting.

This place was his home ground. Even if an Immortal Emperor reincarnation truly arrived, it was not impossible for him to fight.

But he did not want to fight.

This grotto-heaven world was his stronghold.

He did not wish for it to suffer any unnecessary destruction.

Rather than waiting for such a day to arrive, it was better to seal the door in advance.

Gu Yan closed his eyes as his consciousness sank into the origin of this grotto-heaven world.

From the very moment he obtained the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, it had already been completely refined.

He was the master, and the grotto-heaven was the body.

At this moment, as his consciousness descended inward, everything became as natural as moving his own limbs. Every inch of mountain and river, every strand of Spiritual Energy, every law within the grotto-heaven world clearly reflected within his heart.

He saw the edge of the grotto-heaven world.

There, chaos churned while laws intertwined.

A faint barrier separated the entire grotto-heaven world from the outside world.

That was the power of 【Body Without Self and Form · Red】.

The Great Dao could not perceive it. Heavenly dao could not know it.

Logically speaking, no outsider should have been capable of entering such a place.

Yet somehow, people still arrived.

Or rather, it was not merely Lin Fan, nor just this current Golden Immortal.

Instead, every infant born within this grotto-heaven world possessed a soul originating from the outside world.

Reincarnation had never required discovering his grotto-heaven or discovering his existence.

So long as living beings died and living beings were born, the power of reincarnation naturally continued operating.

It did not need to know where a certain world was, nor did it need to sense the existence of a certain world.

Reincarnation was one of the fundamental laws of the myriad worlds.

It merely carried out what it was meant to do.

When a living being reached the end of its lifespan and the soul departed from the body, the power of reincarnation would guide it into reincarnation.

And when an infant was about to be born, the power of reincarnation would likewise guide a soul into the mother’s body.

This process resembled rivers flowing into the sea, or winds moving clouds.

It had nothing to do with discovery.

Nothing to do with perception.

It was merely the natural operation of laws.

Over these years, the population of his grotto-heaven world had long since surpassed its original size.

Among cultivators, there were naturally men and women. Wanting descendants was entirely normal.

Thus, the power of reincarnation had continued operating year after year.

With the enhancement to comprehension granted by 【Foundation of the Great Dao · Red】 over all these years, Gu Yan’s understanding of the Six Paths of Reincarnation laws had long surpassed what it once was.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded mysterious and profound, but in the end, it was merely one of the fundamental laws of the myriad worlds.

And if it was a law, then it could be comprehended.

If comprehended thoroughly, then it could be controlled.

And if controlled, then it could be modified.

With his eyes closed, Gu Yan raised his right hand.

A strand of dim light appeared at his fingertips.

The dim light flickered ethereally, faintly carrying the intent of life and death cycling endlessly.

This was the reincarnation law he had comprehended over these years.

Although it was merely superficial understanding, within this grotto-heaven world, he was the master.

And upon his own home ground, modifying a few rules was not difficult.

Gu Yan’s thoughts shifted slightly as the strand of dim light slowly dispersed, merging into the origin of the grotto-heaven world.

In the next instant, the entire Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven trembled slightly.

The tremor was extremely faint.

No one knew that, at this very moment, a new rule had appeared within this world.

Within Longevity Hall.

Gu Yan sensed the changes occurring throughout the grotto-heaven world and slightly nodded.

Success.

From this moment onward, any soul attempting to enter his grotto-heaven world through reincarnation would be intercepted by this law.

Whether mortal, cultivator, immortal, or even Immortal Emperor—

So long as the soul was not originally born within this grotto-heaven world, not a single one would be allowed entry.

Of course, this law would not affect the living beings originally belonging to the Little Luo Grotto-Heaven world. If they wished to bear children, then they could continue doing so as before.

They would not suffer the slightest impact.

Because from this day onward, those descendants would be nurtured by the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven world itself.

Their souls would either be newly born souls naturally formed from the union of their parents’ essence blood, or entirely new spirits condensed from the world origin power of this realm.

They had nothing to do with reincarnation.

Nothing to do with transmigration.

Gu Yan understood very clearly that what he wished to guard against were outsiders, not his own people.

Those disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect, those members of the Great Love Alliance Under Heaven—

If they wished to marry, bear children, and reproduce descendants, that was their freedom.

He would not seal even his own people’s path simply because he wanted to shut the door against outsiders.
