Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1075: Chapter 10: Schemes of the City God Temple (Part 2)

Then those who were to break through did so, and some others dispersed on their own.

Within the barrier, the Saint Emperors sat upright, their eyes solemn.

The power of the Thirteenth Realm must be kept secret.

It was evident how important the matter the True Saint was about to discuss was.

“True Saint, do you have something of great urgency?” Feng, as Wang Sheng’s initial follower in the Twelfth Realm, directly initiated the conversation, picking up where Wang Sheng left off.

Wang Sheng didn’t waste words: “The first matter is the issue of the connection between the Old Land Starry Sky and the New Land Starry Sky. For five hundred thousand years after the cross-border war ends, entry should be prohibited, should it not?”

This matter was mentioned by Wang Sheng after he had just broken through, to prevent Old Land Starry Sky cultivators from entering New Land, but he had only mentioned it briefly.

Now it was being confirmed.

Regarding this regulation, naturally, the Saint Emperors had no objections.

“It can certainly be done.” Now with Wu Sheng as the strongest True Saint, opposition had no effect.

Upon receiving the responses from all the Saint Emperors,

Wang Sheng nodded slowly: “I hope you can accomplish this, otherwise…”

The moment these words fell, all the Saint Emperors, even the top ones, felt an ethereal force descend, and if violated, it would likely lead to unfavorable consequences.

This is a restriction.

Of course, they could all sense that this restriction was not strong.

As long as they did not enter themselves or let someone in, even if a close subordinate acted of their own accord, no problem would arise.

“Please rest assured, True Saint.”

In any case, they had no intention to defy it.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng did not continue discussing the matter.

“Next…”

He waved his hand once more, imposing restrictions on all the Saint Emperors in an instant.

This time, the restriction was not insignificant.

All the Saint Emperors felt that if they violated it, death would indeed occur, and even a Saint Emperor could not resist it.

“True Saint… What do you mean by this?”

With their lives threatened, even if they feared the power of the Thirteenth Realm, they could not speak well.

Wang Sheng explained: “The upcoming matters are extremely important, and such restrictions are necessary and must not be leaked.”

The gazes of the various Saint Emperors became even more serious.

And Wang Sheng continued: “I presume you are all very curious about why the Star Beast Clan has not come?”

The Saint Emperors instinctively nodded.

This was indeed the doubt pressing on their minds.

When they had just entered the Daoist School, they were puzzled as to why the Star Beasts were absent.

After all, the Star Beast Clan was clearly aligned with them.

Such a grand occasion could not possibly exclude them.

At that time, some Saint Emperors speculated that perhaps there was a conflict between the True Saint and the Star Beast Ancestor, which was why they were not invited.

Likewise, it was also because of this speculation that they dared not ask questions.

After all, asking about conflicts between the True Saint and others would only bring discomfort to the True Saint.

Now, it seemed there was another hidden reason.

“Contrary to what you think, there is no conflict between the Star Beast Clan and me. On the contrary, they are assisting me with a task, a task that greatly benefits the entire starry sky, whether Old Land or New Land. It is so significant that the Star Beast Clan is not involved in any worldly matters.”

Upon hearing this, Yuanhua and Long Yue Emperor appeared pensive, vaguely guessing something.

More Saint Emperors were somewhat confused.

“Dare I ask the True Saint, what exactly is this task?”

At this moment, Wang Sheng smiled and said, “In fact, you have already come into contact with it; it is Reincarnation!”

“Reincarnation?”

The Saint Emperors suddenly remembered the mysterious voice that had spread across the starry sky not long ago.

“Reincarnation achieved!”

After that voice, various forces conducted investigations.

They searched for clues related to Reincarnation, hoping to find any traces.

But it wasn’t long before the phenomenon illuminating the entire starry sky drew most of the attention away.

Then there was Wu Sheng’s breakthrough to the Thirteenth Realm and the hosting of the Immortal Fruit Gathering.

Originally, they thought these were two separate matters, but according to Wu Sheng, they were essentially one and the same.

The keen among them had already guessed one of the reasons for Wu Sheng’s breakthrough.

However, at this point, there was no need for them to say it out loud.

“Reincarnation, whether it originally existed in this world, I do not know, but it likely did not exist because the phrase ’Reincarnation achieved’ emerged after I established the Reincarnation. Essentially, it was the celestial phenomenon that appeared when the Reincarnation I established was acknowledged by the Starry Sky Rules. I can responsibly inform you that the current Reincarnation can already allow beings to reincarnate. Death is not an end, but a true beginning.”

The truth about Reincarnation emerged.

What Thirteenth Realm, what Yellow Plum, were all forgotten by the Saint Emperors.

The legend of Reincarnation is not limited to ordinary beings.

Even they, as Saint Emperors, could not avoid pondering over it.

Death is a matter explored by all beings; whether after death, souls have a place to return to is something all Saint Emperors are concerned about.

After all, even Saint Emperors cannot escape death.

But over millions of years… no, perhaps not millions, but since the birth of life to now, no one has found any trace of Reincarnation, so mysterious it has been.

But now, has Reincarnation appeared?

“True Saint, do you mean that after we die, there is an opportunity for us to live another life?”

“Reincarnation, truly exists?”

“How astonishing…”

Even Yuanhua and Long Yue, the two top Saint Emperors, could not escape the common awe.

The confirmation of their speculation brought them undiminished shock.

This was Reincarnation, incomparable to anything else.

The Saint Emperors could not care for Wang Sheng’s presence; they discussed among themselves, unable to remain calm in the face of this matter.

Of course, present were also the high-level members of the Source Star.

Though the lowest in strength, they were the calmest.

’Isn’t it only natural for the True Saint to achieve these things?’

’How can such a mysterious place like Reincarnation be created by a cultivator? Oh, it’s the True Saint, well, that’s different…’

This was the thought of the Source Star’s upper echelons.

Wang Sheng had already established great prestige.

Even if there was something he couldn’t achieve one day, they would consider it not as the True Saint’s inability but as a test from the True Saint.

Thus, observing the Saint Emperors’ shocked reactions, they looked at them as if they were bumpkins.

Before long, the Saint Emperors calmed down as well.

After the initial shock, they began to think about more.

’Why did the True Saint reveal the matter of Reincarnation?’

’Should Reincarnation not remain mysterious as a better course?’

’…’

The Saint Emperors had varying thoughts and countless musings.

They knew that Wang Sheng was definitely not purely notifying them.

Soon, Wang Sheng provided clarity for them.

“Reincarnation is newly established and lacks many elements, so I need the assistance of all sides to perfect it. Once completed, there will be great benefits. I can clearly tell you that even the initial benefits propelled me, pushing me into the Thirteenth Realm, and the participating Star Beasts are also absorbing the benefits. Xing Hou will have no problem entering the Thirteenth Realm in the future.”

The benefits of perfecting the Underworld could be obtained by Wang Sheng, and naturally, the participating Star Beasts could as well.

Wang Sheng took the vast majority while they divided the remaining benefits among themselves, unimaginable to ordinary cultivators.

Needless to say, the Star Beast Ancestor’s entry into the Thirteenth Realm was hopeful. The awakening of the Ten Great Yin Marshals meant they were likely to become top Saint Emperors, something the numerous Saint Emperors present could not achieve, but for the Star Beasts, it could be attained with ease.

Of course, benefits naturally come with a cost.

From here on, the Star Beasts will be closely tied to the Underworld, unable to freely leave and unable to interfere with any matter of the real world.

This is one of the reasons no Star Beast attended this time.

But regardless, participation surely promises benefits.

These Saint Emperors, if they joined, could save Wang Sheng a significant amount of time and also enable a better setup.

The Saint Emperors present did not know the detailed situation, but they heard Wu Sheng’s clear statement that ’the breakthrough to the Thirteenth Realm is related to Reincarnation.’

At this moment, that was the only thought in their minds.

Even Yuanhua couldn’t help but immediately ask: “True Saint, how do you wish for us to assist? Do you need us to enter the Reincarnation Land?”

Wang Sheng shook his head.

Reincarnation cannot be separated from the present world, so he sought the assistance of these Saint Emperors from the Old Land Starry Sky.

However, he would not let these people participate in the Underworld itself. Of course, when they die, it would be a different story. If their karma were sufficient, they might even hold positions in the Underworld.

What he truly needed had already been decided for a long time.

“The Reincarnation Land doesn’t need you; what I truly need your assistance with is to establish an institution… the Chenghuang Temple!”
