I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

"Not long after you passed away back then, Master Li left the Sect. Her whereabouts have been unknown ever since," Zhou Muzhi replied respectfully, kneeling on the ground.

To the children they were back then, Li Fei was their master. And since Li Fei was taught by Du Youqian, Du Youqian was their Grandmaster.

However, Li Fei never allowed them to call her Master. They could only call her "Master Li" behind her back.

Li Fei, whose skin had become fair and whose features had grown beautiful due to her Body Refining, was a symbol of love and beauty in the hearts of so many boys!

They both respected and loved her.

But that love could only be buried deep in their hearts.

Because they all knew who Master Li loved.

And that person was someone they could never hope to compete with.

Du Youqian sighed. "Considering her age, she doesn’t have much time left. If she’s still alive, I hope she can return to see me... Go and announce to the nearby powers that the Grandmaster has returned. Let’s see if she’ll come back to meet me."

"Yes! I will obey the Grandmaster’s decree."

"Aren’t you curious... how I’ve spent all these years?" Du Youqian asked with a smile.

"If you are willing to speak, Grandmaster, then I naturally want to listen. If you are unwilling, I wouldn’t dare to pry." Zhou Muzhi’s personality was still the same, which pleased Du Youqian.

"I was reincarnated in Ruihan City, a C-Class City in the Immortal City Alliance to the southeast. From a young age, I had hazy memories. After I successfully achieved Core Formation, the memories of my past life became clearer. So, I came out with this caravan for two reasons: one, to open up a trade route, and two, to come back and see you all."

Zhou Muzhi grew apprehensive. "Grandmaster, you... will you be leaving again?"

Du Youqian smiled. "I have family and friends from this life in Ruihan City, so I can’t just ignore them. But I can’t abandon the Four Principles Sect either. Don’t worry. I will take turns watching over both places. If the Four Principles Sect runs into trouble, I will intervene."

Zhou Muzhi said, "We wouldn’t dare trouble you to intervene, Grandmaster. Just having you preside over the Sect is enough to boost everyone’s morale. Grandmaster, should I summon everyone to see you?"

Du Youqian said, "Summon everyone except for those in seclusion. Forget the new disciples; I can’t be bothered to see them."

"Yes!"

When Zhou Muzhi announced to the outside world that the Sect’s Grandmaster had been reincarnated and returned, it sent shockwaves through the surrounding powers.

Reincarnation and returning was rare enough on its own. Most people who reincarnated would not awaken clear memories of their past lives, recalling only fragments. But the Four Principles Sect’s Grandmaster had clearly recovered most of his memories; otherwise, the people of the Four Principles Sect would not have acknowledged him.

More importantly, this was someone who had once taken less than a hundred years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm. He was a master skilled in Magical Combat who, while only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, had once cut down a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator with his sword.

Now that he had returned through reincarnation, had he also inherited those formidable Magical Combat abilities?

What about his Cultivation Talent?

Could he still break through to the Nascent Soul Realm quickly?

With the return of the Four Principles Sect’s old patriarch, the sect was bound to rise powerfully.

This was not good news for the surrounding powers.

Shengxia Sect.

Kang Yinghe sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes closed in deep thought.

His trusted disciple waited beside him, bowing. After a long moment, Kang Yinghe opened his eyes and sighed. "I must go see for myself."

"Master, is that man really so terrifying?"

"A hundred times more terrifying than you can possibly imagine. If I confirm that it is indeed him who has returned, you are to go and... deal with those few. We absolutely cannot let him discover that we secretly bullied the Four Principles Sect. Even if he does find out, it was the private actions of those few and has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, I will take care of it cleanly."

"You will also come with me. You are certain to achieve Core Formation in the future and are my successor. I want to introduce you to him."

"Yes, I will go prepare the Flying Boat for you, Master."

Zouma Gang.

Ever since Du Youqian left the Zouma Gang to found the Four Principles Sect, the gang, though it didn’t immediately fall apart, had visibly declined.

Now, although there was still a Core Formation Master presiding within the gang, and their territory and population were still at the level of a first-rate power, they had long been greatly weakened by continuous internal strife, chaotic management, and several instances of provoking enemies they shouldn’t have. They were just hanging on by a thread.

At this moment, the Gang Leader was discussing the news from the Four Principles Sect with Bai Zhishan.

"Logically speaking, that man came from our Zouma Gang as well. If we go ask for help, surely he wouldn’t just stand by and watch us perish." The Gang Leader was mentally and physically exhausted. He felt like a common bricklayer, just patching up cracks everywhere, but that was all he could do.

Bai Zhishan said, "But there’s a problem. What if he wants to take back the Zouma Gang?"

The Gang Leader gave a bitter smile. "If he wants it, he can have it. This Zouma Gang... you think I actually want it? I’m just out of options. I can’t bear to watch it fall apart. It’s not that I’m greedy for power."

Bai Zhishan silently scoffed, then said, "Then let’s give it a try. That man’s reputation is still formidable. If we can build a relationship with him and get him to lend the Zouma Gang a little help, we can get through this crisis."

The Gang Leader thought for a moment and said, "Go prepare some gifts. We can’t show up empty-handed. I heard he used to love adopting orphans; the Four Principles Sect was built up by the orphans he took in back then... Make arrangements. Find all the orphans of a suitable age in our territory and send them to Four Principles Mountain."

"Yes."

Du Youqian had been staying at the Four Principles Sect for half a month.

At first, the people he had brought from Ruihan City were shocked and confused.

But Du Youqian didn’t explain much to them. He only revealed a small part of his plan, which included having the Four Principles Sect open a trade route beyond the Endless Desert Sea to purchase various specialty products needed by the Immortal City Alliance, then giving them to the Ruihan City caravan to take back and sell.

After a few days, the members of the caravan had rationalized the situation, coming up with all sorts of explanations on Du Youqian’s behalf.

They eventually calmed down and even happily accepted the reality that their Patriarch had "awakened his past life memories and was visiting his old home."

If they could successfully establish this trade route, it would be an opportunity for Ruihan City to soar.

As for whether their Patriarch had truly awakened his past life memories, or whether he had really been the master of Four Principles Mountain, it was actually no longer important.

As for the disciples of the Four Principles Sect, some were completely convinced of Du Youqian’s identity, but a portion still harbored doubts, though they didn’t voice them publicly.

After all, there were countless Demon Sect Secret Techniques. It was entirely possible that a Demon Sect master could have used various secret techniques to peer into the memories of Zhou Muzhi, Xiaoli, and others in order to stage such an act.

As for the unusual activity of the Mountain Protection Array and the reactions of the Jinhuan Sword and several other Treasures, there could be other explanations.

It might not really be the Grandmaster who had returned.

Their silence wasn’t acquiescence; they were secretly biding their time.

On this day, a commotion suddenly erupted at the gate of the Four Principles Sect.

Du Youqian scanned the area with his Divine Sense, then opened his eyes with a smile.

Soon, someone came to report, "Grandmaster, it’s Master Li! Master Li has returned!"

Du Youqian said in a deep voice, "All disciples at Foundation Establishment and above, assemble in the main hall."

"Yes! We obey the decree."

Not long after, a bell chimed three times. This was the summons for all disciples on Four Principles Mountain to quickly gather in the Sect’s main hall.

Some people, not knowing what had happened, rushed over in confusion. But the moment they saw Li Fei standing in the center, surrounded by a crowd, they immediately burst into tears.

Du Youqian waited until almost everyone had arrived before he slowly made his entrance.

His entrance was simple. He wasn’t carried in on a palanquin, nor did he create any grand spectacle. He just quietly arrived at the main hall and sat down in the newly added chair for the Supreme Elder.

The chattering hall quickly fell silent.

The disciples orderly retreated to either side and stood in formation.

Only Li Fei remained standing in the center, her head tilted slightly as she studied Du Youqian intently, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Du Youqian smiled at her, then used Telepathy to send a message to Ge Sheng, who was waiting at the foot of Four Principles Mountain. "Fellow Daoist Ge, come on up for a chat."

Ge Sheng was stunned for a moment, then broke into a happy smile.

Li Fei quietly stared at Du Youqian, her eyes filled with a myriad of complex emotions.

Du Youqian smiled. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Li Fei suppressed the welling emotions and asked as calmly as she could, "Are... are you really him?"

Du Youqian nodded with a smile.

"My name?" Li Fei asked.

Everyone was surprised.

’Isn’t your name Li Fei?’

But Du Youqian understood there was more to it.

His thoughts flew back to a hot afternoon in the desert, when a small, dark, and skinny girl ran up to him, shouting that she had broken through to the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage overnight in the Evil Pool and wanted to join the Zouma Gang.

"Name?" "What?" "Your name." "I don’t have a name. When my parents were alive, they just called me Xiaoya. You can call me Xiaoya too."

Du Youqian slowly spoke: "Xiaoya."

Li Fei covered her mouth, not crying out loud, but tears quickly blurred her vision.

"Brother Zong! You’re finally back!"
