I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Qin Yiming looked over and saw an elegant young man sitting in the shade of a tree, head bowed as he read a yellowed scroll in his hands.

He smiled faintly and sent a telepathic message, "Junior Brother Zhi, do not worry. Allow your elder brother to take a look at him."

With that, he took out the Copper Mirror and aimed it at Du Youqian.

An image of the bow-headed Du Youqian appeared in the Copper Mirror.

But a lustrous, crystalline radiance emanated from the figure, exquisitely beautiful.

Qin Yiming squinted at it for a moment, then chuckled. "Junior Brother Zhi, take a look. His body and Divine Soul are perfectly fused, without the slightest gap. This boy is undoubtedly a Reincarnation Cultivator."

Sui Zhi let out a sigh of relief. "Excellent, excellent."

Qin Yiming continued to squint at Du Youqian, silent for a long time.

’Could it be you?’

’The task Shami True Monarch gave me... In two hundred years, a set of Relics will open here, and I am to help someone seize a key item for ascending to Divinity Transformation.’

’Will that person be you?’

’But you’re only at the Foundation Establishment Realm... How could you possibly participate in a struggle of that magnitude in two hundred years?’

’Trying to fight for a Divinity Transformation treasure without being at the Nascent Soul Late Stage is just suicide.’

’Can you reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage in two hundred years?’

’Even with a Celestial Spirit Root, that’s probably not enough time.’

’Even if you spent all your time on Cultivation and reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage in two hundred years, how would you find the time to improve your Protective Measures, your various Magical Divine Abilities, and your Secret Techniques?’

’And your Treasures—you can’t just expect someone to hand them to you, can you? Not only does it take time to acquire them, but it also takes time to nurture them.’

’When you add it all up, how could two hundred years possibly be enough?’

’So even with a Celestial Spirit Root, to reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage and truly possess the combat power of that realm, you’d need at least three to five hundred years, right?’

’It shouldn’t be you. It can’t be...’

At this thought, Qin Yiming slowly shook his head.

"Brother Yiming, what’s wrong?" Sui Zhi asked, a little puzzled.

"It’s nothing. If there’s nothing else, shouldn’t we go for a drink? My Dancing Girls have rehearsed a new piece. It’ll be a real eye-opener for you, my good brother!"

"Haha," Sui Zhi was in high spirits now that he had confirmed his most promising junior was not abnormal, but a rare Reincarnation Cultivator instead of a Possession Cultivator. He temporarily pushed aside the matter of the vicious Exotic Gu in his body. "Today, I’ll definitely show Brother Yiming the hospitality of our Sui Family! We won’t go home until we’re drunk!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naturally, the quiet arrival of Sui Zhi and the unfamiliar Nascent Soul Master did not escape Du Youqian’s notice.

Although he didn’t dare use his Divine Sense to eavesdrop on their conversation, he could guess their intentions with about eighty to ninety percent accuracy.

Especially when that unfamiliar Nascent Soul Master shone the mirror on him, he immediately sensed it. Only after confirming it posed no threat did he refrain from lashing out.

In his current state, if he went all out, he might just be able to escape from a Nascent Soul Master. After all, his Divine Abilities were almost fully recovered.

Thankfully, just as he had expected, the two of them only took a look before leaving.

With his back to them, the corners of Du Youqian’s mouth curled up slightly.

’I suppose I’ve passed this test.’

Sure enough, after this, the three ancestors of the Sui Family would periodically come to check on Du Youqian’s cultivation progress and explain difficult cultivation concepts to him.

Sui Zhi even took the time to organize and comprehend the Profound Void Nether Flying Step Technique, breaking down the difficult parts to explain to Du Youqian—he assumed this was the Cultivation Technique Du Youqian was practicing.

As for all sorts of resources, Du Youqian was allowed to take whatever he pleased.

Du Youqian didn’t divert his attention to practice the time-and-space-related Magic that came with the Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth. After all, he already had sufficient life-saving methods and Dao Protection Techniques. He also didn’t distract himself by practicing other Cultivation Techniques.

He focused single-mindedly on advancing his realm, and even after reaching the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, he continued to advance one minor level per year.

In the sixth year after awakening, at the age of twenty-four, Du Youqian broke through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer and officially entered the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

This year also marked the fifth year of his "house arrest."

Normally, cultivation starts easy and gets progressively harder.

The time needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer is equal to the total time spent on layers one through six.

The time needed for the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer is the sum of layers one through seven, and so on.

However, Du Youqian was becoming more and more familiar with this Cultivation Technique, so his speed had increased significantly.

Moreover, he hadn’t taken too many Spirit Pills to aid his cultivation previously in order to solidify his foundation. But after reaching the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, he began using Elixirs without restraint, so his cultivation speed did not slow down.

He only took one year to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

It took him a year and a half to reach the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.

Then, he spent another two years cultivating to Foundation Establishment Perfection, adjusted his body and mind, and began his attempt at Core Formation.

When Du Youqian was at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, Sui Zhi had been rotated to the front lines to serve as a Squad Commander, and Sui Bian was in seclusion.

Sui Jiansong, the eldest of the three Sui elders, wasn’t paying particularly close attention to Du Youqian.

Therefore, he only discovered that Du Youqian was attempting Core Formation when the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon appeared.

This scared him half to death.

A true fright!

’Have you properly adjusted your body and mind?’

’You must understand, No Regrets for Pill Formation! Have you fixed all your flaws?’

’Besides, you brat, are you attempting Core Formation without even needing a Life-Saving Elixir? You don’t need a Core Formation Spiritual Object or a Core Formation Secret Technique either?’

’And what if the Bian Family and Rong Family attack now and disrupt this grandson’s Core Formation? What then? I can’t possibly fend them off alone!’

’This is like lighting a lantern in a latrine!’

’Reckless. The young are too reckless.’

𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Sui Jiansong was so anxious he was pacing in circles, but he didn’t dare interrupt Du Youqian’s Core Formation.

After thinking for a long time, he could only go and call Sui Bian out of seclusion to act as a Guardian for Du Youqian with him.

He also immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Sui Zhi.

Sui Zhi was also worried sick. Du Youqian not only represented the future of the Sui Family but was also a potential hope for removing his Ghost Infant Gu!

But as a Squad Commander, he couldn’t just abandon his post. Otherwise, when the Immortal City Alliance’s punishment came down, while he wouldn’t die, he would probably be skinned alive.

He hastily pulled some strings, trying to get away, but it coincided with an offensive from the Demon Race. In the heat of the moment, he couldn’t leave at all.

Nearly half a year later, the Demon Race’s offensive slowed, and the Immortal City Alliance finally permitted him to leave temporarily. However, he had to find another Core Formation Master from Ruihan City to take over his position as Squad Commander within a month.

Sui Zhi rushed back to Ruihan City, only to turn pale with shock—the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon was gone.

Normally, Core Formation takes several years. For the celestial phenomenon to disappear after only a few months meant that he had failed in the very first stage.

’Grandson Sui Xiao... failed his Core Formation?’

Sui Zhi stood there dumbfounded with his mouth agape for a long while before comforting himself.

’It’s fine. Xiao’er is still so young, not even thirty.’

’So what if he failed Core Formation? He can just try again next time.’

But no matter how he tried to console himself, he couldn’t help but feel dejected.

He numbly landed his Spiritual Boat and walked toward the Sui Family’s main residence, only to find it decorated with lanterns and colorful banners.

Fury surged within Sui Zhi. ’Xiao’er failed his Core Formation, and you all dare to celebrate?’

’You should be crying! All of you, cry for me!’

"Ancestor, you’ve returned!" A junior from the family at the Qi Cultivation Realm, who was rushing past, happened to see Sui Zhi. The expression on his face changed from surprise to respect and joy.

"Tell me, what joyous occasion is this?" Sui Zhi didn’t want to lose his temper with a junior, as it would be beneath his status. He pointed at the colorful lanterns and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Only by speaking slowly could he keep his anger from showing.

"Ancestor, didn’t you receive the message?" the junior asked, stunned. He quickly explained, "Sui Xiao... Elder Xiao successfully achieved Core Formation three days ago! Everyone is celebrating for him!"

Sui Zhi was so taken aback he thought he was hearing things.

"What did you say? Xiao’er... succeeded in Core Formation?"

"Yes!" The junior grinned. "Everyone is saying that Elder Xiao’s talent is unparalleled, and that he’ll be our Sui Family’s first... no, second Nascent Soul Master!"

Sui Zhi roared with laughter, stroking his beard with a look of immense pride. "First or second, what does it matter? In any case, he has a good chance of achieving Nascent Soul Formation within the next two hundred years! This is a day of great celebration for us! Send out an order! Summon the old geezers from the Bian, Rong, and Shen families. I want them to see that the Sui Family now has four Core Formation Masters! How can they possibly compete with us now!"

The junior looked a little awkward. "Ancestor, our Four Great Clans are supposed to be allies..."

"Hmph! Allies? Allies, my ass! Never mind, you’re just a kid, you don’t understand. There’s no point explaining it to you." Sui Zhi flicked his sleeve and stalked inside.

He had already made up his mind to summon the leaders of the Bian, Rong, and Shen families in the coming days to properly establish some new rules.

The past was the past. Now, the Sui Family reigned supreme. The old rules and the old division of interests had to change!

The junior reached out a hand behind him, his mouth wide open, but he didn’t dare to call out. He only let his arm fall limply after Sui Zhi’s figure had disappeared.

Three days ago, just after emerging from seclusion, Elder Xiao had sought out the Bian Family. With just a single Spiritual Artifact Level Flying Sword, he had suppressed the Bian Family’s ancestors, Bian Zijian and Bian Churen, to the point they couldn’t even lift their heads.

When the Rong Family’s ancestor, Rong Xiuxin, went to mediate the fight—though in reality, she was taking sides—she too was suppressed by a single sword strike from Elder Xiao.

The three of them had no choice but to beg for mercy and sit down to negotiate with Elder Xiao.

It was unknown what was discussed, but the very next day, the ancestors of the Bian, Rong, and Shen families each issued a decree to their clan members: From this day forward, in Ruihan City, all shall follow the Sui Family’s lead!

The position of City Lord would no longer be rotated; from now on, it would be permanently held by a member of the Sui Family!

According to some news from the higher-ups, it was said that in the Elder Council from now on, the Sui Family’s ancestor would hold veto power.

It was a glorious victory!

One that allowed every member of the Sui family to hold their heads high in triumph!

’But... Ancestor Sui Zhi should already know all this, right? He should...’
