I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Fang Hua had reached the bottleneck of the Golden Core Late Stage long ago.

She had advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage around two hundred and eighty years ago, a little later than Lin Sha, but not by much.

Then, about one hundred and twenty years ago, not long after Du Youqian advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage, she had already reached the limits of her realm.

But she just couldn’t break through that bottleneck... just like Lin Sha and Luo Jinyu.

The successive failures of Lin Sha and Luo Jinyu had led Du Youqian to assume that Fang Hua would fail as well.

After all, Lin Sha and Luo Jinyu’s aptitudes weren’t bad. Lin Sha had Middle Grade Water Wood Dual Spirit Roots, and Luo Jinyu had an Upper Grade Spirit Root. Fang Hua also merely had an Upper Grade Spirit Root, which wasn’t particularly outstanding.

Besides, Fang Hua’s talent lay mainly in the sword.

When it came to Cultivation Techniques, Magic, and Divine Abilities, her talent was just ordinarily excellent—a Qingbei Level of Sword Dao Talent, but only an Ordinary 985 Level of Cultivation Talent. That was about the gist of it.

But unexpectedly, just as her lifespan was nearing its end, Fang Hua gave him such a wonderful surprise.

"Thank you," Du Youqian said.

Fang Hua shook her head and smiled. "It’s only right."

’Thank you for continuing to walk this path with me. The Great Dao is a lonely one to travel alone.’

’It’s only right. I won’t let you grieve for me.’

The failures of Lin Sha and Luo Jinyu to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage made Du Youqian realize that the decline in Spiritual Qi had already caused irreversible damage to Momenan.

Even though he and the Beautiful Daoist Nun had swung their swords every forty or fifty years to regulate the Yin and Yang and tend to the Earth Veins.

At best, they could only slow the decline of Spiritual Qi, but they couldn’t truly stop it.

Du Youqian didn’t understand why he never encountered any bottlenecks, his breakthroughs always occurring naturally once his Cultivation was sufficient.

But with aptitudes like Lin Sha’s and Luo Jinyu’s, the bottleneck to the Golden Core Late Stage shouldn’t have troubled them for so long.

As for Meng Xiao, he couldn’t even reach the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Du Youqian realized, ’There is no next life. I can’t place my hopes on the next life anymore.’

The Spiritual Qi was declining so violently that if he couldn’t break through that passage in this lifetime, there would be even less hope in the next.

Therefore, he had to stake everything on this one attempt.

In this life, he had to be fully prepared and ensure everything was in place.

That night, Du Youqian held Fang Hua, whose skin was as smooth as a young girl’s, and they spoke softly in the faint candlelight.

Fang Hua asked, "Have you comprehended any new Divine Abilities over the years?"

Du Youqian shook his head and answered truthfully, "I haven’t made much progress with comprehending Divine Abilities, but I’ve made great strides with my Sword Intent."

This was actually quite normal. Comprehending Divine Abilities depended on both one’s Comprehension and serendipity.

Many Core Formation Masters only ever comprehended a single Divine Ability before passing away, and some never comprehended any at all.

For Du Youqian to comprehend another Divine Ability out of thin air (Fang Hua didn’t know about the Spring and Autumn Brush) was naturally an incredibly difficult task.

In contrast, his progress with Sword Intent was not surprising at all. In Fang Hua’s eyes, Du Youqian’s Sword Dao Talent was top-tier to begin with.

"Spar with me tomorrow."

"As you command," Du Youqian said jokingly.

The next day, Du Youqian and Fang Hua had what must have been their ten-thousandth-plus sparring match.

There were no probing moves, no preliminaries. Like an old married couple, they got straight to the point.

Of course, Du Youqian couldn’t use his true strength and defeat Fang Hua instantly. He only imbued his sword with a hint of Sword Intent for her to experience.

After the spar, Fang Hua remained silent for a long while, still savoring the lingering feeling.

That evening, after clinging to Du Youqian for a while and sharing an intimate moment, she curled up in his arms and asked, "I feel like you’ve comprehended the Sword Intents from the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture very deeply. It’s like the four intents—Blood Sacrifice, Blood Food, Annihilate, and Piercing—have reached Great Success. But when I feel them carefully, it seems there’s still something more."

Du Youqian paused. "I feel the same way, but I can’t think of how they could be improved further."

Fang Hua said, "Have you ever considered... that the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture is a manifestation of Elder Blood Slaughter’s own mysteries? You told me that Elder Blood Slaughter was once a Tier Seven being, a realm in harmony with the Dao. The sword itself represents a part of the Dao... or, to be precise, one facet of the Great Dao, one of its forms of expression."

Du Youqian nodded. "That’s right."

"So, if you cultivate your Blood Slaughter Sword Intent to a truly profound realm, could you connect with Elder Blood Slaughter and borrow power from it? Think about Elder Blood Slaughter’s might... Even if you could only borrow one percent of its power when you draw your sword, you could flatten all of Momenan with a single strike. Neither Taihe nor the Holy Blood Sect could resist. Golden Core Late Stage cultivators would be like clay chickens and pottery dogs, and even Tier Four Arrays would disintegrate under your Sword Intent, like ice and snow melting in the rising sun."

Du Youqian lowered his head in thought for a long time, then nodded heavily. "You’re right. From now on, I’ll try to contact the Blood Slaughter Sword’s true form."

Like a small cat, Fang Hua snuggled comfortably under Du Youqian’s palm and asked again, "I’ve already comprehended the Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record to the Great Success realm, and I can’t progress any further. For the past two hundred years, I’ve been trying to create my own swordsmanship, but I haven’t made any headway. You could say my Sword Dao hasn’t advanced an inch in two centuries. If I want to continue down the path of the sword, do you have any suggestions?"

In fact, Du Youqian had already considered this question many times over the past few centuries.

The problem was, there was no point in having Fang Hua learn the incomplete version of the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture, and the complete version could only be learned by wielding the Blood Slaughter Sword itself. He couldn’t teach it to her even if he wanted to.

As for Zong Wu True Monarch’s Sword Collection Annotation, one had to start learning it before Foundation Establishment or just after. Fang Hua couldn’t possibly cripple her cultivation and start over.

And aside from those two types of swordsmanship, the Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record was already considered peerless in Momenan.

Not just in Momenan, even in the Human World, the Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record could be called a first-class swordsmanship.

So, after much deliberation, Du Youqian could only say, "For now, there isn’t a good solution. You can only continue down the path of creating your own techniques."

Disappointment showed on Fang Hua’s face, and her expression crumpled. "I’ve already wasted two hundred years. If I keep trying to create my own swordsmanship, I’ll probably waste another two hundred."

Du Youqian comforted her, "Creating your own swordsmanship is the most difficult path, but it has one advantage: a self-created technique will always be the one most suited to you. I don’t think you should keep trying to reinvent the wheel in isolation. You can go study the swordsmanship of the Mortal World, and you can study some Immortal Swordsmanship that is inferior to the Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record. Only by drawing on the strengths of many can you ultimately forge your own path."

Fang Hua was still dejected. "How many two-hundred-year periods do you think I have left to live?"

Du Youqian laughed. "Others might not choose this path, because their efforts might not be rewarded. But you? Even if you achieve nothing in this life, I will definitely find you and guide you onto the Dao again. When that time comes, everything you’ve dedicated to the Sword Dao, even the time you think you’ve wasted, will become nourishment for your future Enlightenment."

Fang Hua pondered this for a moment and found it deeply resonant. "It’s a pity that as a Golden Core Master, staying in the Mortal World for too long will cause my Cultivation to decline. Otherwise, I would find a sword-using Martial Arts Sect in the Mortal World to join and truly experience their swordsmanship."

Du Youqian smiled. "That won’t be necessary. Since you’ve mastered the Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record, you can study any mortal swordsmanship from a commanding height. You’ll understand it at a glance and master it with a single insight. It won’t take much time at all."

With the decision made, the two shared another tender moment before getting up to meditate separately.

After spending a period of intimate time together, they parted ways to focus on their individual cultivation.

Fang Hua went to the Mortal World to study its swordsmanship, starting from the basics. She sought to understand the similarities and differences between mortal and Immortal Swordsmanship. Her next step would be to study other, lower-level Immortal Sect Swordsmanship, drawing on the strengths of all.

Du Youqian continued trying to comprehend Divine Abilities and his Sword Intent.

He deliberately followed Fang Hua’s advice, trying to use his Sword Intent to communicate with the true form of the Blood Slaughter Sword.

At first, he naturally gained nothing.

But more than thirty years later, he suddenly discovered a faint, almost imperceptible connection to some distant existence.

’That must be Elder Blood Slaughter!’

Du Youqian grew excited. ’This method works!’

Once was a breakthrough.

Although it was difficult, Du Youqian slowly deepened his connection with the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Gradually, he could sense more about the Blood Slaughter Sword’s condition. The sword seemed to be in good shape, not in a state of perpetual slumber, but very healthy.

Sixty years after that conversation with Fang Hua, Du Youqian received a response from the Blood Slaughter Sword for the first time.

"I remember you."

Du Youqian also wanted to convey a message back to the Blood Slaughter Sword, but unfortunately, he lacked the strength to transmit his thoughts clearly.

However, when he tried to borrow the Blood Slaughter Sword’s power, the sword understood quickly and did not refuse.

Feeling that immense power transmitted across the void... Du Youqian felt that he could kill even ten Pang Masters with a single sword strike.

He also knew this couldn’t be a regular tactic; it was something he could only do occasionally.

But it was a good start, of course. For now, he could only borrow its power occasionally. In the near future, he would be able to borrow it frequently. And in the more distant future, he could become the master of the Blood Slaughter Sword. One step at a time!

「Time flew by.」

Coincidentally, in the year Du Youqian turned 333, his study of Xia Chuchu’s Divine Ability finally bore fruit, and he comprehended a Divine Ability of his own.

It was quite different from Xia Chuchu’s original version; you could say it was optimized for Du Youqian’s needs.

This Divine Ability was, in a way, very simple: Xia Chuchu’s version allowed her to ignore obstacles and instantly teleport a considerable distance.

It could be called a life-saving Divine Technique exclusive to Momenan. In the Human World, against a Nascent Soul Elder Monster, such a Divine Ability would be completely useless. Their Escape Speed was so fast; you might escape once, but you couldn’t escape forever.

Only in a place like Momenan, where the upper limit was the Golden Core Realm, could this Divine Ability be considered a Divine Technique.

But what Du Youqian comprehended was vastly different: his Divine Ability could create an insurmountable distance around himself.

Literally insurmountable.

When he sparred with Fang Hua, he let her try whatever she wanted.

Whether Fang Hua used Body Technique Flight, a Flying Treasure, Flying Sword Manipulation, or attacked with other Treasures, she could not get close to him for a certain period of time, no matter which direction she approached from.

Divine Abilities were like that, sometimes difficult to understand with logic, their underlying principles hard to grasp.

They were often the result of someone observing and pondering the Great Dao, having a flash of insight, and then imitating and comprehending one of its facets or silhouettes.

A Divine Ability was not necessarily powerful, and it could be simple or complex, but it was always some form of interpretation and attempted imitation of the Great Dao.
