I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Piloting the Thousand-Mile Shuttle, Du Youqian rushed to Panyun Peak in the Jin Kingdom, arriving one hour later.

This wasn’t him overreacting.

Once symptoms of the Celestial Five Declines appeared, a Core Formation Master only had a few days left to live—half a month at most.

Du Youqian didn’t want to miss his last chance to see Lin Sha.

Lin Sha was now the foremost figure of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect, their chief Supreme Elder. Even with Du Youqian’s current fame throughout Momenan, he couldn’t just see her on a whim. He still had to follow proper etiquette and request an audience.

However, after he followed procedure and submitted a formal request, a Core Formation Master soon approached him and said apologetically, "Celestial Master, please go back. Master Qingqiu does not wish to see you."

Du Youqian could hardly believe his ears. "Did you hear her wrong?"

The man slowly shook his head and handed over a Jade Slip. "These are Master Qingqiu’s words for the Celestial Master. Please take it with you to read."

Du Youqian weighed the situation. ’No one from the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect would dare forge an order from Lin Sha.’

Although he didn’t know what Lin Sha was thinking, now was clearly not the time to press the issue. He took the Jade Slip and departed.

He stopped in the Mortal City within the Panyun Peak Blessed Land and sent his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip.

Lin Sha’s hazy figure appeared. Her features were unclear, something she had clearly done on purpose.

Her voice was as cold and detached as a stranger’s.

"Qing Lang... Our fates have been intertwined across three of your lifetimes, but for me, it has only been this one life. All the thrills, all the suffering—I’ve endured them all in this single existence, and I don’t want to go through it again. Let’s not meet anymore. I will move on to my next life. Don’t miss me, and don’t come looking for my reincarnation."

Du Youqian was overcome with a sense of melancholy. ’This isn’t like her,’ he thought. ’It doesn’t fit her personality or the way she’s always handled things.’

’But maybe people change when they’re on the verge of death?’

Since she didn’t wish to see him, then he would respect her choice.

Du Youqian planned to wait here in the Panyun Peak Blessed Land until Lin Sha passed away, to see her off on her final journey.

As for whether he should snatch her soul, preserve it, and wait until he became a Great Power to take her to the Human World to reincarnate...

Respecting another’s fate, respecting another’s Dao—this was the most basic form of respect.

He couldn’t disregard Lin Sha’s will in the name of love.

’Worst case, after she reincarnates, and once I become a Great Power, I can return to Momenan and reawaken her. I’ll let her choose her path then.’

~~~~~

In Lin Sha’s place of seclusion, Jie Yu smiled faintly, her aura graceful and saintly.

Lin Sha glanced at her, finding the sight somewhat disagreeable.

’A demoness is a demoness. What’s with the act?’

’Does she really think pretending to be a Saintess can wash away that vixen’s scent of hers?’

But she didn’t voice her contempt.

’When you need a favor, you have to be polite.’

"I must say, I’m surprised. The person you want to see before you die isn’t that rogue disciple of mine, but me. We’re hardly what I’d call friends, if I remember correctly," Jie Yu said with a smile.

Lin Sha said, "I heard from Meng Xiao that he has an array that can preserve a person’s soul and prevent it from entering reincarnation. The arrays he learned before did not include this one. You must have taught it to him recently, is that right?"

Jie Yu replied crisply, "Yes."

Lin Sha gave a deep, formal bow. "Could I ask you to set up such an array for me?"

"That rogue disciple of mine can set up this array as well. Why did you specifically seek me out?"

"I don’t want to see him again." Lin Sha lowered her gaze.

"Don’t want to, or don’t dare to?"

Jie Yu chuckled softly.

Lin Sha looked at her own wrinkled skin and smelled the foul stench of decay, like rotting plants, emanating from her body. She gave a bitter smile.

She didn’t answer. Instead, she bowed to Jie Yu. "Please help me release my soul! Set up the array to preserve it."

Jie Yu’s eyes crinkled into a smile. "I can do it, but you have to tell me honestly why you want me to do it, and why you told your lover that you were going to reincarnate."

Lin Sha said flatly, "I don’t want him to have too many attachments. He should advance bravely and forge ahead without hesitation. If I am in his heart, he will naturally come to enlighten me when he becomes a Great Power. If I am not in his heart, why should I be a burden to him?"

Jie Yu sighed. "This path you’ve chosen is too painful."

Lin Sha smiled faintly. "I embrace it willingly. I have never regretted loving him."

"Should I relay these words to him?"

"If he returns to Momenan in the future, then you can tell him. If he never wishes to return... then why add to his worries?"

At this, Lin Sha bowed solemnly again. "Fellow Daoist, please help me release my soul."

Jie Yu stepped aside, declining the full bow, and returned a half-bow. "Fellow Daoist, you may go in peace. Although that rogue disciple of mine pursues an unfeeling Great Dao, he still has a soft spot in his heart. You and Fang Hua both reside there. When he attains the Dao in the future, he will surely come looking for you. You need not worry."

Lin Sha smiled with composure. "I have no worries. This life as Master Qingqiu has been exciting enough, legendary enough."

~~~~~~~~

A few days later, news spread from the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect: Master Qingqiu had passed away.

The entire Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect mourned.

Although the funeral rites were kept simple in accordance with Master Qingqiu’s wishes, many Core Formation Masters and representatives from sects of all sizes within the Demon Sect Camp still came to pay their respects.

After the dust had settled and Master Qingqiu was buried, that evening, a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator from the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect, Xu Zi’an, returned from his travels and entered the Grand Array.

He walked for a while, his presence gradually fading until he vanished into the night.

Shortly after, a dark figure appeared in the ancestral burial grounds of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect.

Without much effort, he found Master Qingqiu’s tomb.

He stood before Master Qingqiu’s tomb for a long time. No one knows what he said to her.

Even if he spoke words of burning passion, they were likely scattered by the wind just as quickly...

Late that night, after the dark figure had left, another slender, graceful figure arrived at Master Qingqiu’s tomb. She took out a small wine flask, sprinkled a little on the grave, then tilted her head back and took several deep swallows.

"Master Qingqiu... you’re no fun. Once you’ve reincarnated, who will I have to bicker with?"

"I never usually drink, but I’ll make an exception today and have a drink with you."

"Back then, you treated me like a little maidservant. Did you ever imagine this day would come? I don’t hate you, but I can’t bring myself to like you either. I heard from Jie Yu that you refused to see him before you died and didn’t let him preserve your soul, all so he wouldn’t be weighed down by attachments. Instead, you entrusted the task to Jie Yu."

"Stupid!"

"Pathetic!"

"Just you watch. I still have over thirty years... and before my time is up, I will definitely break through to the Golden Core Late Stage. I will walk with him to the very end. I won’t let him grieve for me!"

~~~~~~~~~

Another thirty-some years passed, and Luo Jinyu also reached the end of his lifespan. He was only a step away from the Golden Core Late Stage, but he remained trapped by the bottleneck, unable to take that final step.

He readily asked Du Youqian to help him release his soul, willingly having it preserved in an array to wait for Du Youqian to reawaken him and send him to the Human World to be reincarnated.

"Senior Brother, in the next life, I still want to fight by your side," Luo Jinyu said with a smile, his skin wrinkled and his hair white as a crane’s, his body exuding a foul stench. "May I?"

Seeing that his attitude was still good, Du Youqian joked, "How about I take you to the Human World to establish a sect? I’ll make you the Sect Leader."

Luo Jinyu laughed. "I only wish to be Senior Brother’s vanguard. Being a Sect Leader... that’s not for me."

Du Youqian said with emotion, "The You De Commerce Association has operated for hundreds of years. I’ve seen your capabilities with my own eyes. Without you, my return to the Peak this time would not have been so easy."

Luo Jinyu said humbly, "I have only done a few insignificant things. A Cultivator should prioritize Cultivation and keep the Great Dao in their thoughts. Senior Brother, in the next life, please take me to see the scenery along the Great Dao."

Du Youqian nodded solemnly. "It’s a promise."

"It’s a promise!"

After seeing Luo Jinyu off, Du Youqian knew that Fang Hua’s time was also running out.

These past years, he had wandered far and wide comprehending Sword Intent, the Beautiful Daoist Nun had returned to the Taihe Sect for secluded cultivation, but Fang Hua had remained at Soul-shaking Mountain to cultivate.

She didn’t get along with the new Core Formation Masters of the Hundred Flowers Sect and was also quite dissatisfied with some of the sect’s strategies in recent years, so she simply chose to stay away, out of sight and out of mind.

Du Youqian had gone back to see her a few times. Even in these final years of her life, Fang Hua had never wavered, persistently continuing her Cultivation and sword practice every day.

If her luck had been just a little better in this life, her achievements in the Sword Dao would have been no less than Du Youqian’s.

What a pity.

With a sense of regret, Du Youqian returned to Soul-shaking Mountain.

He planned to spend as much time as he could with Fang Hua in her final days.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t wanted to accompany Lin Sha before. Rather, after Mi Master passed away, Lin Sha had been the number one figure of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect for nearly two hundred years. There were indeed many inconveniences, and she couldn’t be inseparable with Du Youqian.

Fang Hua, on the other hand, was fine. She didn’t meddle in the Hundred Flowers Sect’s affairs at all. The Hundred Flowers Sect, for its part, only wanted to borrow her prestige occasionally and didn’t actually want such a powerful figure watching over them.

So, Fang Hua was actually freer.

But freedom... also meant that Fang Hua was much lonelier.

However, when Du Youqian returned to Soul-shaking Mountain, Fang Hua came out to greet him.

He was just about to speak when his eyes suddenly widened.

He hadn’t seen her in a while... and Fang Hua had, without a sound, broken through!

Seeing Du Youqian’s expression, as if he’d seen a ghost, Fang Hua couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Du Youqian was overcome with a mix of shock and joy. "When did you break through?"

Fang Hua smiled. "Not long ago."

"This is... this is..." Du Youqian was at a loss for words.

He had just sent off Meng Xiao, Lin Sha, and Luo Jinyu in succession—some of his closest subordinates and Dao Companions.

He had already mentally prepared himself to lose Fang Hua soon as well.

He never expected that Fang Hua would, without any fanfare, give him such an incredible surprise!
