I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

The beautiful Daoist Wu Ai didn’t quite understand Elder Wu Fei’s words, but she didn’t directly refute a Sect Elder. She only said softly, "I still find it hard to believe that Elder Wu Nian would do such a thing. Could there be some misunderstanding? Perhaps he had his own difficult reasons."

Du Youqian thought to himself, ’Just as I expected from a bleeding heart, always making excuses for people.’

’If you become my friend, you’d better be just as good at making excuses for me when I do something bad in the future.’

Du Youqian didn’t care whether Master Wu Nian had actually betrayed them or not.

He could perhaps investigate it later, but what he wanted to know most right now was...

"Elder Wu Fei, after the Teleportation Array was destroyed this time, did you manage to contact the outside world again and ask them to send someone else to repair it?"

If the outside world sent someone to fix the Teleportation Array, he wouldn’t have to risk that perilous passage with its near-certain doom.

’Even though Core Formation Masters aren’t normally allowed to leave... it’s fine. I can just pay a price like Master Wu Ji and Elder Shi Shentong did.’

’If all else fails, I can just burn through my lifespan and reincarnate again.’

’In this life, I successfully reached Core Formation at fifty-nine, and that was only because I spent over a decade comprehending the Human Dao Sword.’

’If I really had to start over, I could defeat a Core Formation cultivator in my twenties and reach Core Formation in my thirties. With that kind of monstrous talent, if I still couldn’t be chosen to be teleported out, then probably no one in this world would meet the requirements.’

But Elder Wu Fei’s answer made Du Youqian’s heart sink. "We did, of course. Unfortunately... the outside world will not be sending anyone to repair the Teleportation Array for at least a thousand years."

Even the beautiful Daoist Wu Ai couldn’t help but ask, "Ancestor Wu Fei, why is that?"

In a Sect without Core Formation Masters, seniority is calculated normally.

But in a Sect with Core Formation Masters, all Cultivators who join within the same hundred-year period are typically considered to be of the same generation.

Otherwise, with Elder Wu Fei being three hundred years older than Wu Ai, a gap of roughly fifteen generations, the seniority would be impossible to calculate. You couldn’t expect the young Daoist nun to call him "Great-Great-Great... Ancestor."

But with the current system, Wu Fei is only three generations older than Wu Ai, so calling him "Ancestor" is sufficient.

And since Master Wu Nian was two generations older than Master Wu Fei, Wu Ai would also just call him "Ancestor."

Master Wu Fei circulated his Magical Power, heating a pot of cool water directly in his palm, and brewed a fresh pot of tea, refilling everyone’s cups.

Only then did he answer Wu Ai’s question. "Although the Teleportation Array was destroyed this time, the outsiders who came to fix it last time also built a relatively hidden Communication Array, which survived. However, communicating with the outside world is extremely costly and difficult. So, while we reported the situation here to the outside world immediately, we have had very few exchanges since."

Du Youqian felt he was being evasive. The beautiful Daoist Wu Ai pointed this out in a slightly wheedling tone, "Ancestor! You still haven’t answered my question."

Elder Wu Fei smiled. "I have answered. It’s just that we’ve communicated so few times, and their replies were vague, so this old man does not know the reason either."

Du Youqian, however, felt that Elder Wu Fei definitely knew something but was unwilling to say it in front of Wu Ai.

He decided to find a chance to ask him privately.

Using Divine Sense to ask questions in front of the beautiful Daoist Wu Ai would be far too discourteous.

Wu Ai might look petite, but one shouldn’t forget she was also a Core Formation Master.

Although her Divine Sense was, frankly, completely overwhelmed in the presence of Elder Wu Fei and Du Youqian—the two of them could easily converse via Divine Sense without her detecting a thing—it would still be extremely rude to do so to a powerhouse who stood at the apex of Momenan.

If she did happen to notice something, it would be far too awkward.

He proactively changed the subject. "Elder Wu Fei, I was wondering when you would like me to find the inheritor of the Celestial Dao Sword from Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, so that we can perform Sword Control together to regulate the Yin Yang and dredge the Earth Veins."

Elder Wu Fei already had a plan. "The sooner, the better. With each passing day, a great deal of Spiritual Qi is lost, and the Spirit Veins in the Blessed Land decay further. Fellow Daoist, you can first go stabilize your Realm and familiarize yourself with your power. If you can be ready within three to five years, we should be able to minimize the losses."

Du Youqian nodded. "I will do my best."

After a few more pleasantries, Du Youqian tactfully took his leave.

Elder Wu Fei said, "Wu Ai, see You De out for me."

"Yes." The beautiful Daoist nun stood up obediently, as graceful as a celestial crane.

But Du Youqian said, "Elder Wu Fei, there are still many things about my past life that I do not understand. I was hoping to ask for your guidance."

Elder Wu Fei smiled. "Then let me walk you out, Fellow Daoist. Wu Ai, you wait here."

The beautiful Daoist nun smiled faintly. "Yes."

Wu Fei walked Du Youqian outside Taiyi Pavilion. Fang Hua had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Du Youqian emerge, a captivating smile appeared on her face, a face so beautiful one dared not look at it directly.

Even though Wu Fei was over four hundred years old, worldly and wise, his heart as calm as an ancient well, he couldn’t help but feel a slight ripple of emotion upon seeing that smile.

He smiled at Du Youqian. "You are truly blessed with romance, Fellow Daoist. This Fang Hua not only possesses peerless beauty but also an astonishing devotion. She has followed you since your past life, and to this day, her affection is as unyielding as stone."

Du Youqian smiled as well and conveyed with his Divine Sense, "Fang Hua is the person I trust most. Elder Wu Fei, I actually have a matter I’d like to ask you about."

Elder Wu Fei was not surprised. Smiling, he stroked his beard. "Please speak, Fellow Daoist."

Du Youqian asked, "What is the real reason the outsiders refuse to repair the Teleportation Array? It can’t just be because of the immense cost, can it? Momenan is a ’fire seed’ Inheritance ground, and right now Momenan is collapsing. Are they really going to turn a blind eye? The ones who designated Momenan as an Inheritance ground must have been at least Divinity Transformation or Void Step True Monarchs, maybe even a Harmonization Great Power. Some of them, who might have lived for eight thousand years, must be high-ranking members of the Human Race. Are they also unwilling to save Momenan?"

Elder Wu Fei lowered his head and pondered for a long time before replying with his Divine Sense, "What this old man has been able to learn is actually very limited. Much of it I can only guess at, based on scraps and clues."

"As you said, Fellow Daoist, it must have been high-ranking members of the Human Race who designated Momenan as a ’fire seed’ Inheritance ground. But please consider this: it’s difficult enough to unify the will of a single Sect, let alone the entire Human Race. Where there is support, there will always be opposition. The upper echelons of the Human Race are not a monolith. That is the first point."

"Second, the Human Race’s situation in the outside world is not good. The cost to repair this Teleportation Array is greater than you imagine. For the outside world to bear such a huge cost twice in a short period of time would likely be untenable."

"Third, there is a group that strongly opposes repairing the Teleportation Array, even proposing that Momenan be abandoned. These people are, for the most part, the prodigies who left Momenan over the past few thousand years. Those who are still alive today are at least Nascent Soul Masters, with some being Divinity Transformation or Void Step Great Powers. Their words carry immense weight. They disregard old ties and wish to make a clean break, cutting themselves off from Momenan to avoid being labeled as the ’Momenan Sect’ by the upper echelons of the outside world. Can you understand such a mentality, Fellow Daoist?"

Du Youqian also sighed. "That... makes sense."

It was a classic case of convert’s zeal.

Elder Wu Fei sighed. "Indeed."

Du Youqian asked him, "Is there really no hope?"

A pained expression flashed across Elder Wu Fei’s face. "When this old man said it wouldn’t be repaired for at least a thousand years, that was an optimistic estimate."

Du Youqian asked again, "Then what price did Master Wu Ji and Shi Master actually pay to get out? Why did you say it caused Momenan to suffer a terrible loss?"

Elder Wu Fei shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, do not ask any further."

Du Youqian smiled and conveyed via Divine Sense, "Did they give away Senior Rivers and Mountains Map?"

His eyes were fixed on Elder Wu Fei, ready to catch the slightest twitch of a muscle on his face, the smallest change in his gaze.

However, Elder Wu Fei was an old fox. How could he so easily let him see through him?

Elder Wu Fei just shook his head. "There is no need to ask again, Fellow Daoist."

Du Youqian narrowed his eyes. "Don’t tell me... they gave away Senior Blood Slaughter Sword as well?"

Elder Wu Fei still just shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, do not ask."

Silence was also a form of answer.

Du Youqian was stunned.

’Those two are really...’

If this was true, then those two were traitors to Momenan!

At the same time, Du Youqian immediately realized this matter must be kept strictly confidential.

If Pang Master were to find out that both Senior Blood Slaughter Sword and Senior Rivers and Mountains Map were no longer in Momenan, he would probably stop lying low and immediately make a major move.

"Thank you, Elder Wu Fei. I will take my leave."

Elder Wu Fei smiled. "Take care, Fellow Daoist. When you have time, you should chat more with Master Wu Ai. She is our Sect’s most outstanding disciple of the last century. She is also fond of the Sword Dao, so I’m sure you two will have many topics of mutual interest."

’Here it comes.’

Du Youqian nodded and bade farewell to Elder Wu Fei.

Fang Hua came forward with a smile.

The two of them walked out of the Taihe Sect together.

"Who is Wu Ai?"

Du Youqian’s gaze hardened.

~~~~~~~~~~

Elder Wu Fei returned to Taiyi Pavilion and sat back down by the small table. The beautiful Daoist Wu Ai poured him another cup of tea.

"Well?"

Wu Ai shook her head. "He is not sincere enough. And he seems too much of a philanderer. Not a good match. Ancestor, I do not like him."

"A philanderer?" Elder Wu Fei chuckled. "Are you aware that in his Celestial Master’s Mansion, there are over a hundred beauties sent by the nobles of the Wu Kingdom? Each is a peerless beauty, some with unique talents, others of noble birth. And yet, to this day, every single one of them is still a virgin."

The beautiful Daoist Wu Ai looked up, her long, fair neck as elegant as a swan’s.

Elder Wu Fei continued, "How could a true philanderer, a man with no self-control, possibly climb the Great Dao? For a heaven-sent genius like You De, how could the beauty of love and desire ever compare to the beauty of the Great Dao?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Wu Ai’s face. "I feel the same way."

"Dao Companions should walk hand-in-hand to ascend the Great Dao. Love and desire are merely minor scenery along the path of the Dao, not something to become intoxicated by."

"I will take this lesson to heart." The beautiful Daoist Wu Ai bowed deeply, with the respect of a junior.

"By the way," Elder Wu Fei said, "although you did not use Sword Pill Formation to reach Core Formation, your grasp of the Celestial Dao Sword is already seventy or eighty percent there. If something were to happen to the inheritor of the Celestial Dao Sword from Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, you must take their place and brandish that Sword alongside You De. Even if you have to pay a terrible price for it..."

The beautiful Daoist Wu Ai looked up, her beautiful face showing only determination and solemnity. "I have long been prepared. For the continuation of the Human Race, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself."

"This old man knows... you have always been a good child," Elder Wu Fei said with a smile. "Don’t hesitate. You De is leaving; go and travel with him."

"Yes." Wu Ai replied with firm resolution.
