I Can Reincarnate Infinitely
Chapter 283 - 278: This Isn’t Venting Anger, It’s PoutingDu Youqian watched Fang Hua’s Treasure Flying Sword approach, yet he remained calm and unafraid.
He could clearly sense that Fang Hua had not infused the Flying Sword with any Magical Power.
She was relying purely on Sword Intent to strike him.
It looked ferocious—well, if it struck anyone else, even a Core Formation Master, they would be grievously wounded if not killed.
But even if Du Youqian failed to block it, he wouldn’t be seriously injured because their Sword Intents shared the same origin.
After all these years, Fang Hua had long since learned other Sword Formulas and comprehended new Sword Intents, yet she still used this "Broken Water" Sword Intent to attack Du Youqian.
This strike was less an act of venting anger and more a lover’s pout.
"You wretched ghost, do you have any idea how heartbroken I was? I could just kill you! Kill you!"
That was more or less the meaning behind it.
Unhurried, Du Youqian formed a sword with his fingers and pointed.
Without a Treasure Flying Sword to complement it, his "sword" seemed a bit shabby.
But an expert would sense the unstoppable intent contained in that single finger, a Sword Intent that shot to the heavens as if to tear a hole in the sky.
The two identical streams of Sword Intent collided with immense force.
Near the Grass Tower Temple, everyone except Yi Huai’an fainted.
Even the Shengxuan Sect’s Qi Cultivation Disciples, who were secretly watching the show from nearby, couldn’t withstand the pressure from the clash of peerless Sword Intents and collapsed without suspense.
Fang Hua had a personality that was dismissive of mortals. Having been raised by Shuyue Hua’s side since childhood, she had no concept of what it meant to be a Mortal.
She couldn’t be bothered to understand them, either.
If Du Youqian hadn’t used a portion of his Spirit to protect the Palace Maids, Eunuchs, Guards, Daoist Children, and others near the Grass Tower Temple, a great many of these mortals would have died just from witnessing the peerless Sword Intent.
Without the requisite strength, a single glance meant death.
Fang Hua’s current Realm was just that profound.
The little girl who couldn’t even take one of his moves back then had certainly grown up...
Feeling a touch of emotion, Du Youqian met Fang Hua’s Treasure Flying Sword with his finger.
Between an indestructible Treasure Flying Sword and the physical body of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there was no need to even ask which was tougher.
However, Du Youqian had practiced a Body Refining Technique in this life. And although he was only in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he had invested considerable effort and resources into honing his body.
With Fang Hua not deliberately using her full strength, he actually managed to block the Treasure Flying Sword with his bare flesh.
Meanwhile, Du Youqian’s controlled Sword Intent perfectly canceled out Fang Hua’s, with none leaking out.
Otherwise, the Imperial Palace probably wouldn’t have survived.
He then casually reached out and caught Fang Hua’s Treasure Flying Sword in his hand.
A strange light flashed in Fang Hua’s eyes, followed by a wave of warmth.
Standing on another Flying Sword, she slowly descended. With a beckon of her slender hand, her Treasure Flying Sword returned to her side.
This Treasure Flying Sword was not her Lifebound Treasure. Since she wasn’t a pure Sword Cultivator, she couldn’t store it in her Dantian to be nurtured day and night.
Gazing at Du Youqian, whose face was unfamiliar but whose temperament and Sword Intent remained the same, the Sword Intent in her clear, tranquil eyes vanished, replaced by tenderness, longing, and a touch of grievance.
"You deceived me so cruelly. It turns out you can pierce the Mystery of the Womb, but you never told me! Don’t you trust me?" Fang Hua knew what was appropriate, so this time she conveyed her words with her Divine Sense instead of speaking aloud.
"Some things, you can only discover for yourself," Du Youqian, who considered himself to have a few tricks up his sleeve when it came to placating girls, calmly transmitted via his Divine Sense. "It’s not like I was trying my hardest to hide it from you. Otherwise, how could you possibly have found out?"
This wasn’t a lie. With his meticulous mind, if he had truly wanted to hide everything from Fang Hua, it would have been impossible for her to notice anything amiss.
What he didn’t explain was that hiding it completely would have required him to expend much more time and energy on his arrangements.
And he didn’t want to waste that time and energy.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Momenan was constantly thinning. Who knew when the path to Core Formation would be completely cut off?
For a Body Refining Cultivator, reaching Core Formation was already more difficult.
He had to seize every moment!
Therefore, some of his plans had to be simplified for efficiency, rather than being designed to keep secrets from those close to him, like Fang Hua.
If they were really going to find out... then so be it.
With Luo Jinyu and Meng Xiao, Du Youqian would never admit he could pierce the Mystery of the Womb.
At most, he would admit to awakening some of his past-life memories—that was relatively normal. It would be surprising, but still plausible.
In contrast, completely piercing the Mystery of the Womb was what was truly incredible.
"Ever since you... left, I’ve spent all these years in the Wu Kingdom, living in seclusion with the Hundred Flowers Sect. It’s not that I’m particularly fond of the Hundred Flowers Sect; in fact, the Holy Blood Sect repeatedly asked me to join them. Especially after Elder Shi disappeared and Nong Jiasong took power, he invited me time and time again. But I thought that since you seemed to have some strange connection to the Wu Imperial Family, if you underwent Possession, you would most likely come to the Wu Kingdom to hide. I just never imagined that you didn’t undergo Possession, but were reincarnated instead, and that you even pierced the Mystery of the Womb." Fang Hua took the initiative to explain her experiences.
With her current Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivation, she was naturally not foolish enough to be unable to distinguish between Possession and reincarnation.
The degree of compatibility between soul and body said it all.
Du Youqian was naturally aware of this. He nodded. "That was thoughtful of you. I still have some business to attend to here. You should go back soon. Your Cultivation will decline in the Mortal World."
"No. I won’t leave you again." The intent Fang Hua transmitted seemed weak, but her bright, affectionate eyes told Du Youqian all he needed to know about her resolve.
"I’m only twenty-two! You..." Du Youqian sighed. "Are you trying to rob the cradle?"
"????"
~~~~~~~
Sensing the Sword Intent outside had subsided, Yi Huai’an didn’t know what would happen next, but it was clear he wasn’t going to die.
Yi Huai’an glanced awkwardly at Du Youqian’s empty teacup, thought for a moment, and quickly cast a Water Magic spell...
Clean water fell into Du Youqian’s cup.
’I’ll just steep it for him again.’
’The flavor will definitely be a bit weaker, but he probably won’t notice, right?’
’Okay, who am I kidding?’
’He’ll definitely notice.’
’But then again, given Master Baili’s character, he wouldn’t expose me to my face and embarrass me, would he!’
Just then, two different sets of footsteps sounded.
Yi Huai’an immediately turned and bowed. "Greetings, Master!"
"You may rise."
After the greeting, Yi Huai’an raised his head and immediately recognized her. It was Master Fang Hua.
They were both in the Wu Kingdom; if he didn’t even know which Core Formation Masters resided here, he would be far too derelict in his duties as a Supreme Elder.
However, he had heard that Master Fang Hua was the Sword Attendant of a senior with Mighty Powers, a senior who had sacrificed his life to the Dao in order to resolve the chaos wrought by demons.
’Has Master Fang Hua found a new love?’
’Or could it be...’
At this thought, his heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but look at Master Fang Hua again.
He happened to see Master Fang Hua staring at him with a gaze as sharp as a sword and a smirk on her face, making his heart tremble.
’This...’
"Elder Yi, Elder Yi!"
Yi Huai’an snapped back to his senses to find both he and Master Baili still seated in their original spots. The tea in their cups had been drunk at some point.
Nothing around them had changed.
’What happened to me?’
’Why did I just zone out?’
Yi Huai’an grew wary. ’Don’t tell me I fell into a trap?’
’Did this Master Baili put some kind of poison in the Spirit Tea?’
"Elder Yi," Du Youqian said with a smile, "since our spar is concluded, shall we proceed according to our prior agreement?"
’Spar?’
Yi Huai’an remembered. He and Master Baili had discussed it earlier. He was willing to acknowledge Master Baili’s complete control over the Wu Kingdom, but due to the Chongzhen Sect, they needed a pretext. So, Master Baili had suggested a friendly spar, and he had agreed.
’But why can’t I remember the spar at all?’
’I only remember...’
’Right, I only remember a vast and majestic Sword Intent, comparable to that of a Core Formation Master, suddenly erupting. Could it be that I couldn’t even take a single one of Master Baili’s moves and was knocked unconscious?’
Yi Huai’an secretly inspected his body. There was nothing abnormal, no signs of poison, and his soul was unharmed.
It didn’t make sense to say Master Baili had tried to assassinate him.
The only explanation was... he really had been subdued in a single move, and the shock was so great that he had even lost a short stretch of memory.
Thankfully, Master Baili was an upstanding person and hadn’t been ruthless.
’But this Master Baili is truly powerful, practically on par with a Direct Inheritance disciple from a Major Sect. Though he only has Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivation, he possesses power nearly at the Core Formation level. How terrifying, how admirable.’
If he knew that Du Youqian’s true Realm was Foundation Establishment Early Stage, that he was a Body Refining Cultivator, and that his power wasn’t just *nearly* at Core Formation but capable of killing most Core Formation Early Stage masters at a certain cost...
Yi Huai’an would probably lie down and go back to sleep on the spot, figuring he must be having an absurd dream.
