Chapter 2852 - 576_2

But the master still gave him the cycle of life and death.

Immortal Lord Wu Hui was still in a daze, she really didn’t expect that Cao Zhen would directly complete the Transfiguration of the Immortal Palace in one breakthrough.

After a while, she finally asked, "How much longer do you think it will take for you to break through to Half-step Golden Immortal?"

"I don’t know." Cao Zhen gently shook his head and said, "The reason I was able to complete the Transfiguration of the Immortal Palace this time is because I was already at the Peak True Immortal Realm.

I abolished my own cultivation base and started cultivating anew, in fact, the breaths within me were merely sealed away, so this time it was like breaking through the seal.

But Half-step Golden Immortal... after all, I hadn’t broken through to Half-step Golden Immortal before. So, I want to and don’t know how long it will take.

Furthermore, to break through to Half-step Golden Immortal, I fear I’ll need to travel around and see the outside world."

Previously, even though he and Immortal Lord Wu Xin had seen the outside world together, they hadn’t finished before Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch appeared and interrupted them.

So, he still wants to see this world once more, to complete the journey he hadn’t finished.

"In that case, you should first go and see the outside world. After all, you’ve already completed the Transfiguration of the Immortal Palace, and besides me, and a few others at the Golden Immortal Realm, most Golden Immortal Realm individuals can’t do anything to you."

Cao Zhen took a deep look at Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch, bid farewell to Immortal Lord Wu Hui, and then disappeared from their sight.

Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch waited until Cao Zhen’s figure completely vanished, then smiled and looked back at Immortal Lord Wu Hui, "Do you know what his last glance at me meant?"

"He thinks what you said isn’t true." Immortal Lord Wu Hui suddenly laughed, "He might think, even now, you may not be his opponent."

"So, you don’t need to worry about his safety." Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch said, adding another sentence, "Unless a master like me makes a move, no one can stop him."

Cao Zhen changed his appearance and entered the mortal world of dust.

He saw farmers on the vast fields, lowering their heads to till the soil, sweat dropping onto the land, and their diligent work nurturing the hope of life.

By the sea, fishermen rowed their small boats, fishing in the vast ocean; at the front lines, he saw armies lined up, soldiers gripping their weapons, bravely facing the enemy.

He had seen the mountains and lakes, traversed this world in a circle, and finally, just as before in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, he considered himself an ordinary mortal, blending into the world of mortals.

He felt the joy and sorrow of mortal beings. He saw brave youths, passionate villagers, wise elders, sharing in their joys and sorrows, experiencing with them life’s bittersweet moments.

He sensed the boundless true emotions contained within the ordinary and mundane, those trivial details are the foundation of the world, as well as its most precious elements.

Within the mortal life lies endless wisdom and courage.

While farmers work season after season, fishermen go out to sea day after day...

All of this, is reincarnation.

Time reincarnates, life continues to repeat, but each moment, each person’s reincarnation is unique.

He further saw towering mountains, vast lakes, which have gathered the marks of time over the long years.

Time and space are ubiquitous, they surround everything, making existence possible.

And he himself is just a speck of dust in time and space, brief and tiny, yet he leaves his own mark in this boundless time and space.

Marks like his ultimately constitute this world.

This time, Cao Zhen stayed in the mortal world longer than he ever did during his time in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s mortal world.

He stayed for over four hundred years.

Perhaps in the world of Immortals, four hundred years might not be considered long, but in the mortal world, it is exceedingly long.

Even a dynasty rarely lasts four hundred years.

During these over four hundred years, Cao Zhen forgot everything, forgot his identity, he even forgot that he belonged to the Human Clan, he fully immersed himself into the life there.

Until one day, like always, he climbed the mountain outside the village, as the sun was rising.

He looked at the rising sun, his soul gradually calmed down. In that instant, he comprehended the reincarnation of life.

Reincarnation does not refer to a specific cycle, but to the constant transformation and rebirth of life.

Actually, reincarnation is also the universe, the world granting every life the chance, allowing every soul to constantly learn, grow, and pursue perfection.

In the next moment, beams of Enlightenment Light emerged from around him.

For a time, the clouds in the sky became colorful, forming peculiar patterns.

The clouds were no longer merely water vapor, but carriers of the cycles and transformations of the soul.

And the mountains and rivers seemed to come alive, the mountains became transparent in an instant, the water streams of the rivers began to boil, and the whole earth at this moment revealed the eternal truth of life and death, change and constancy.

The sun emitted dazzling golden light, like a massive wheel, spinning in the sky.

A moon appeared on one side of the sun, continuously rotating with the sun, forming a cycle.

Cao Zhen’s Xu Ying further appeared in the void, dispersing in all directions.
