Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"You all... decide... for yourselves... what you want to do."

By now, she could no longer speak in complete sentences.

But Xu Lei listened and understood what Chun Ying meant.

Over the years, Chun Ying had actually discovered that Zhao Xin and Xu Lei had feelings for each other.

She also suspected this might be why Xu Lei and Jingchun had broken the ice in the first place.

Previously, Chun Ying had been happy to see Jingchun and Xu Lei have children.

She was afraid that after they swapped back, Jingchun might not maintain the same kind of relationship with Xu Lei.

This was also because Zhao Xin hadn’t yet cultivated to a level where others would deem her ready for Dual Cultivation.

Xu Lei and the others had kept the matter of the Phoenix True Flame a secret from Chun Ying all these years.

After all, the more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be.

Had Zhao Xin truly not reached that level of Cultivation,

it would have been acceptable for her to occasionally swap with Jingchun.

Using Jingchun’s body to receive Xu Lei’s Charitable Giving,

enjoying a bit of carnal pleasure—

it would have at least been a way to relieve the ascetic hardships of Cultivation.

But now, Zhao Xin had also cultivated to a level comparable to the Bodhisattva Tree Realm.

And since Chun Ying herself was now about to die, she passed it on.

"You two... must be... happy together."

Finally, Chun Ying said to Xu Lei and Jingchun, "My girl, don’t... don’t let Hui Chi down."

With her last bit of strength, she tried to place Xu Lei’s and Jingchun’s hands together.

Then, her hand fell limp.

All signs of life were gone.

"Senior!" Xu Lei whispered.

"Grandmaster!" Zhao Xin cried out in grief.

"Mother!" Jingchun wailed.

「That evening.」

Chun Ying hadn’t been formally buried yet.

But Jingchun had called Xu Lei and Zhao Xin over.

They went together to the outside of a Cultivation Room.

Jingchun instructed the servants not to disturb them under any circumstances.

Then she entered the Cultivation Room with Xu Lei and Zhao Xin.

Five years ago, the Charming Demon had seen their true faces.

Because of that, for the past five years, the three of them hadn’t returned to any Daoist Temples or Buddhist monasteries.

Instead, they continued to live in a Mortal Manor.

It wasn’t the same Mortal Manor from five years ago; they had moved to a new one.

After all, it was best to be cautious.

The three of them never went out together.

Only two of them ever went out at a time.

One would wear the Human Skin Mask, and the other would wear the Jade Pendant.

This way, they could ensure the Charming Demon couldn’t command Loose Cultivators to launch another sneak attack.

After all, Jingchun had been pregnant three times over the past few years.

It would be disastrous to be attacked by the Charming Demon in that state.

Moreover, the soul-swapping problem hadn’t been solved yet.

If they suddenly swapped during a battle, it would be even worse.

So they had to be extremely careful.

Other than that, of course, life was actually quite good.

Soon.

Inside the Cultivation Room.

The three of them sat in a circle, facing one another.

"I’ve figured out the Dharma Gate my mother left behind," Jingchun said. "The method she found isn’t a Dharma Seal that transfers souls.

"It’s a Soul Firming Seal from an Ancient Spirit Immortal.

"The basic idea is to act while we are both in our own bodies.

"We activate this Dharma Seal to sever the connection from the previous Soul Transfer!

"It will firm our own souls within our own bodies.

"So, since our souls are in our respective bodies right now,

it’s best to resolve this as soon as possible.

"After all, every day this isn’t fixed is another day of hidden danger.

"Like that time we fought the Spirit Monster and suddenly swapped—it was incredibly dangerous!"

Xu Lei and Zhao Xin naturally agreed with Jingchun.

Soon, Jingchun had taught them both the Dharma Gate for the Soul Firming Dharma Seal.

Since Xu Lei had also participated in the original Soul Shifting Array,

Jingchun had him participate this time as well.

BUZZ!

A moment later, as the three of them executed the Dharma Seal, it began to emit a mysterious wave of energy.

It was invisible to the naked eye.

But the energy flowing from the Dharma Seal brought a slight warmth to the space between their eyebrows.

Xu Lei felt the Ten Thousand Lives Book in his mind glow once more.

It blocked all of the Dharma Seal’s interference with his soul.

Xu Lei secretly guessed, ’My Ten Thousand Lives Book must be more advanced than any Spirit Immortal’s Cultivation Technique!

’The Ten Thousand Lives Book allows me to reincarnate endlessly after death.

’It must also operate in the realm of the soul!’

Xu Lei only felt a slight anomaly.

Nothing much happened to him, really.

"AH!"

"AH!"

But Zhao Xin and Jingchun both cried out in pain.

Then, they both fainted.

The previous Soul Shifting Array must have invisibly built a connection between their two souls.

Now that the connection was severed, they had suffered some backlash.

Xu Lei couldn’t help but feel a surge of anxiety.

He rushed over to wake them.

Thankfully, they both came to.

"Hui Chi, I’m fine,"

Jingchun said. "Fainting was always a possibility!"

"Uncle Hui Chi,"

Zhao Xin also said, "It seems like the problem really has been solved.

"The difference is subtle,

but it feels like something that was entwined with my consciousness is gone."

"I’m just glad you’re both okay."

Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief. "Then it looks like the problem is solved."

At this, however, the three of them fell silent for a moment.

A few minutes later.

The three of them left the Cultivation Room.

Jingchun went one way, while Xu Lei and Zhao Xin went the other.

She was going to see to the rest of Chun Ying’s funeral arrangements.

"Uncle Hui Chi, what’s wrong? Sad that it’s over?"

Zhao Xin asked. "I guess it makes sense. Now that the soul-swapping is over,

you probably won’t be able to perform Charitable Giving for Master anymore."

"But I still have you, don’t I, Xin’er?"

Xu Lei said, "What, are you saying you’re not willing to receive Charitable Giving anymore either?"

"Of course not."

Zhao Xin pulled Xu Lei into her room. She leaned close in front of him and said, "Uncle Hui Chi, come on, give me some Charitable Giving!

"Don’t worry. Even if Master won’t receive your Charitable Giving anymore."
