Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 168: Chapter 121: Fourth Reincarnation, Start

Li Chang’an had received quite a few orders.

And with Su Ruobing’s guarantee, he had already collected a portion of the deposits.

This meant the matter of building the factory and hiring workers could finally get underway.

Li Chang’an dumped all of it on Zhao Xi to handle communications with the engineers, once again playing the part of the hands-off boss.

From the recent Exotic Beast Tide, Li Chang’an had earned nearly 120,000 Bounty Points. He didn’t ask for any other items as a reward, instead having the Rebirth Association directly issue him 1,200,000 Rebirth Points!

He now had about two million Rebirth Points left.

It sounded like a lot.

But in reality, it still wasn’t enough for his actual expenses.

After all, whether it was opening a factory and hiring workers or maintaining his own cultivation, the cost in Rebirth Points was immense.

’I have to hurry up and make more money!’

With this in mind, Li Chang’an didn’t waste any more time.

After returning to his place of seclusion and getting into the right state of mind, he activated his Rebirth Mark and said, “Mark, begin a new rebirth!”

[Welcome to the Rebirth Space!]

[Official Reincarnator: Li Chang’an]

[Personal Rebirth Number: 31402]

[Evolution Level: Tier Four Early Stage]

[Citizen Rights: 3 (500/3000)]

[Exclusive Talent: Heaven-defying Comprehension (Unique)]

[Rebirth Points: 2,150,000]

[Begin Consciousness Rebirth?]

Without hesitation, Li Chang’an chose to confirm.

[Acquiring Rebirth Information… Acquisition complete!]

[Loading Rebirth World… World loaded!]

[Matching character model… Character model matched successfully!]

[World Background / Predestined Fate: The Martial Dao of the Liyang Dynasty is at its zenith, and the entire Jianghu is a vibrant and flourishing scene.]

[Age 0: You were born into a landlord’s family in Tian Family Manor, Chun’an County, Liyang Dynasty!]

[Age 3: Your father sent you to a private school, hoping you would pass the imperial examinations and achieve greatness. Instead, you bullied and beat up the other children and were chased for miles by the teacher, who was brandishing a rolling pin!]

[Age 5: Because you refused to learn, you were detested by the local teachers. Left with no other choice, your father had to send you to study in the more distant Chunan County Town.]

[Age 8: Your home was targeted by a group of self-proclaimed “great heroes” from the Jianghu, who were “robbing the rich to help the poor.” Your parents were casually murdered by these so-called heroes. At the time, you happened to be at school in the county town and thus luckily escaped death!]

[Age 9: Having lost your fortune and your family, and being unaccustomed to hard labor after a childhood of luxury, you had no choice but to become a beggar on the streets!]

[Age 10: By a stroke of luck, while begging, you were noticed by a tall monk. The monk felt your bone structure, was overjoyed, and immediately accepted you into the Buddhist Sect!]

[From then on, you became a Little Novice Monk under the Buddha, escaping your fate of homelessness!]

[Age 15: You did not disappoint the monk. You displayed a powerful talent for the Martial Dao, and by building a foundation in Horizontal External Training, you cultivated your first wisp of Inner Qi, becoming a First-Layer of Internal Qi Martial Cultivator.]

[Age 16: Due to the astonishing talent you displayed, your status within the Buddhist Sect rose steadily. You successfully became a core disciple, worthy of listening to the Buddha preach the scriptures!]

[Age 18: You noticed a female worshipper who often came to the Buddhist Temple to burn incense. This woman also seemed very interested in you, frequently inviting you to recite Buddhist Scriptures for her alone!]

[Experiencing the first stirrings of love, you fell hopelessly for the female worshipper. You thought this would be a sweet romance that would change your life, but you never imagined that the woman you adored was actually a world-renowned Female Demon!]

[Seduced by the Female Demon’s flower-like beauty, you betrayed the Buddha and stole the Buddhist Sect’s ultimate treasure. However, after the Female Demon got what she wanted, she abandoned you without a second thought!]

[Age 20: Expelled from the Buddhist Sect, you were devastated. You sealed off your heart to love and dedicated yourself to cultivation, traveling far and wide to slay the regional Jianghu Martial Artists and the Demons of the Demon Sect!]

[Age 30: Through countless slaughters, you have made a name for yourself in the Jianghu!]

[Any woman who walked the Jianghu, regardless of whether she was from the Demon Sect or the righteous path, couldn’t help but tremble in fear at the mere mention of your name!]

[You are still cultivating diligently!]

[Age 40: By “achieving your Dao through slaying women,” you have finally become the new Martial Arts Mythology of the Li Yang Martial World. After biding your time for many years, you finally found the Female Demon who seduced and abandoned you. You have arranged to fight her in a decisive battle atop the Forbidden Peak on the night of the full moon next year!]

[The Female Demon merely gave a contemptuous smile and accepted your challenge!]

[The tale of your love and hate affair ignited the entire Li Yang Martial World. All the Jianghu Martial Artists eagerly awaited the night of the full moon in the coming year!]

[Age 41: On the night of the full moon a year later, you arrived as promised, treading on floating clouds. This time, the Female Demon didn’t stand you up!]

[Just as you were poised to strike, ready to begin the highly anticipated battle, a Cultivator suddenly appeared, one who intended to sacrifice every living being in the Liyang Dynasty to refine a Weapon.]

[The Cultivator’s origins were unknown. Upon seeing you and the Female Demon, his eyes lit up. He immediately brandished his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, sucking both you and the Female Demon into it.]

[Together with the Female Demon, you were refined by the Cultivator into a lost soul within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, becoming a pair of “doomed lovers” in the most literal sense.]

[You died. Your life was a tragedy in every sense of the word.]

Looking at the information displayed before his eyes, Li Chang’an raised an eyebrow.

’I thought this life would be another ordinary Martial Dao world, but at the very end of the predestined fate, a Cultivator just popped up out of nowhere?’

Then came the question.

’With my current accumulation in the Martial Dao, can I really contend with the legendary Cultivators who can fly through the heavens and tunnel through the earth, who possess incredibly long lifespans?’

Li Chang’an didn’t know.

But this was a rare opportunity to come into contact with a Cultivator, and Li Chang’an didn’t want to miss it for anything.

Taking a couple of deep breaths to calm the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Li Chang’an whispered, “Fourth rebirth, begin!”
