I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

After much bickering, the ancestors finally reached an agreement that left Bian Zijian furious, yet helpless.

Du Youqian would be confined for ten years and pay 500 Spiritual Jade in compensation.

That was it.

For crippling the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation from the Bian and Rong Families, all he got was a slap-on-the-wrist punishment.

All because he had shown the potential for Core Formation, which made the Sui Family willing to bet their entire clan on him and protect him at all costs.

Faced with the determination of the two Sui Family ancestors, Rong Xiuxin and Bian Zijian were powerless to resist without completely tearing apart all pretenses.

But did they dare to do so?

Was a matter involving only two juniors of the Qi Cultivation Realm worth it?

Bian Zijian’s fury and Rong Xiuxin’s composure were, in truth, just an act to test the Sui Family’s bottom line.

In the end, the matter concluded in a way that exhilarated the entire Sui Family and humiliated the Bian and Rong Families.

As for Du Youqian, he thought, ’Trouble shouldn’t strike a third time. The Bian Family probably won’t attack me again.’

’If there is a third time... then I wouldn’t mind wiping out the Bian Family once I’m in power.’

He was in a hurry. He needed to sort out the affairs of Ruihan City as quickly as possible, then forge a suitable Defensive Treasure and return to Momenan to retrieve the souls of the Beautiful Daoist Nun, Jie Yu, Lin Sha, and the others.

Therefore, he couldn’t afford to slowly use various methods to subdue the Bian Family. If they refused to submit, he would have no choice but to use the harshest means possible to suppress them, making an example of them.

It all depended on whether the Bian Family knew what was good for them.

While the city was still abuzz with discussion about the matter, Du Youqian had already begun his ten-year confinement.

This so-called confinement meant he was only allowed to stay within the Sui Family’s ancestral residence, spending his days in Cultivation and seclusion, forbidden from taking a single step outside.

Another person might not have been able to stand the loneliness.

But for Du Youqian, seclusion was the lifestyle he was most familiar with.

In the past millennium, the time he had spent in seclusion far exceeded the time he had spent living a normal life.

Three years passed in a flash. There was never a shortage of various Elixirs, and no one came to disturb him.

A few beautiful Maids attended to Du Youqian’s daily needs, but they had been strictly ordered by the ancestors not to seduce the Young Master...

That’s right. By now, the servants had spontaneously started addressing Du Youqian as "Young Master."

No one doubted that Du Youqian would become the Patriarch.

But they were all wrong...

Du Youqian knew very well that he would skip the "Patriarch" stage and directly become an "Ancestor."

His Cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

If word of such an astonishing Cultivation speed got out, the members of the Bian and Rong Families would likely lose sleep over it.

But the Sui Family, naturally, kept this matter a strict secret.

What surprised Du Youqian somewhat was that in these three years, neither Sui Zhi Ancestor nor Sui Bian Ancestor had come to see him.

Of course, this wasn’t because they were indifferent to him. Rather, there was something he didn’t know that made them decide to wait and see for the time being.

’Searching my heart,’ Du Youqian thought, ’if one of my own juniors cultivated so quickly, I too would be very happy.’

’However, if in addition to that rapid Cultivation speed, they also suddenly comprehended Sword Intent—which no one else in the entire family had—as well as some Secret Techniques, it would be rather frightening.’

It was said that on the path of Cultivation, any Cultivator who showed outstanding talent would more or less have some secrets.

But his performance was far too similar to someone who had undergone Possession...

Du Youqian wasn’t afraid of being suspected, though. In this life, he was a reincarnator, not someone who had performed Possession. He had a clear conscience.

’Presumably, the two ancestors are trying to find a way to verify this. Once they’re convinced I haven’t undergone Possession, a new situation will arise.’

~~~~~~~~

On this day, all members of the Sui Family who held official positions gathered together. Led by the three Sui Family ancestors—Sui Jiansong Ancestor had also come out of seclusion—they stood waiting before the main residence.

Every one of them wore a serious expression, their appearances neat and tidy.

From their posture, it was clear they were awaiting the arrival of an honored guest.

Before long, a magnificent and imposing giant Tier Four Spiritual Boat appeared above Ruihan City. Sui Bian Ancestor made a gesture, and Sui Zhi Ancestor, who controlled a part of the City Defense Array, temporarily lowered the defenses, allowing the Spiritual Boat to land safely.

The Flying Sword insignia and the word "Qingxu" on the Spiritual Boat allowed some members of the Sui Family to recognize it as belonging to the Qingxu Commerce Association.

They merely wondered to themselves what people from the Qingxu Commerce Association were doing here.

Of course, those closer to the Direct Lineage or those holding more important positions had long known that Sui Zhi Ancestor had been close friends with a Nascent Soul Master from the Qingxu Commerce Association since their humble beginnings.

It was said that it was because of that Master’s influence that Ruyi Square, located in the city, had given some shares to the Four Great Clans.

The cabin door of the Spiritual Boat opened, and two rows of beautiful young women clad in light gauze emerged. At first, everyone thought they were an honor guard, but they soon noticed that each girl held a musical instrument and was laughing and joking, realizing they must be the great person’s Musicians or Dancing Girls.

After all the young women had disembarked, a young man in a white robe with gold-thread embroidery stepped out of the Spiritual Boat with a smile. Embroidered on his robe was a strange-looking fat cat with one paw raised, as if waving. This made him seem approachable rather than imposing.

He didn’t even have any discernible aura, as if he were an ordinary person who had never cultivated.

But no one from the Sui Family dared to show him any disrespect.

After Sui Zhi Ancestor sent the command with his Divine Sense, all the Sui family members who had come out to greet him bowed in unison. "We respectfully welcome the Silent Master!"

The young man smiled and waved his hand. "Hey, why all the ceremony? Junior Brother Zhi Xian, you know me. I have the disposition of a wandering crane and can’t stand all this red tape. If you keep this up, I won’t dare to visit next time."

Sui Zhi laughed. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Brother Yiming, you’ll just have to put up with it."

Qin Yiming shook his head with a helpless smile. "Oh, you!"

Flanked by the three Core Formation Cultivators of the Sui Family, Qin Yiming entered the main hall of the Sui residence. He took a seat as the guest of honor, accepted the greetings of some talented youths from the Sui Family’s Direct and Side Branches, and chatted with the three elders for a while.

Sui Bian and Sui Jiansong then made their excuses and left, allowing the two old friends to catch up.

Once the hall was empty, Qin Yiming turned to Sui Zhi, his expression gradually turning serious.

"Your Cultivation... In another century or so, you’ll reach Golden Core Perfection. After that, it will take at most 150 years for you to undergo Nascent Soul Formation. I told you to seek an audience with Hui Ming True Monarch. Did you go?"

Sui Zhi gave a bitter smile. "What right do I have to see him? How could Hui Ming True Monarch possibly grant me an audience? Unless I achieve Nascent Soul Formation, I have little hope of meeting him. But if I really do undergo Nascent Soul Formation, I won’t be me anymore."

"Hui Ming True Monarch is searching for a Tier Six Jade. He wants to forge a Tier Six Top Grade Treasure to serve as a Dao-protector for his future advancement to the Void Step Realm. If you can find a Tier Six Jade, you might have a chance to meet him in person. At that time, you can ask him to help you remove the Ghost Infant Gu from your body," said Qin Yiming.

Sui Zhi’s eyes were filled with helplessness. His Cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds, so fast it was staggering. People even thought he had a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

In truth, it wasn’t because his aptitude was excellent or because he cultivated diligently.

Rather, it was because in his early years, while exploring some Relics, he had chanced upon a Divinity Transformation True Monarch from a Demon Sect.

The man had planted a Ghost Infant Gu in his body. This Gu could force a person’s Cultivation to constantly increase, ignoring all bottlenecks. It didn’t even require any Spirit Pills or Treasures of Heaven and Earth for the breakthrough to Nascent Soul Formation.

The consequence, however, was that as soon as he underwent Nascent Soul Formation, he would immediately transform into a Ghost Infant, becoming nourishment for that Divinity Transformation True Monarch’s Cultivation or a material for forging a Demon Artifact.

So, it wasn’t that he had a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm; it was that if things continued this way, he would inevitably undergo Nascent Soul Formation—and, of course, inevitably become nourishment for someone else.

"Brother Yiming, you once performed a divination for me, saying that among the children born in the Sui Family within the next ten years, there might be one who holds the hope of resolving my calamity. I have paid close attention to all the children born in those ten years. There is only one, a boy named Sui Xiao, who is the most exceptionally talented, clever, and bright. Moreover, from my observations, he might be the Reincarnation Cultivator of some not-so-low-level Cultivator. During a near-death experience, a Divine Ability suddenly manifested to protect his body while he was unconscious. But now I’m hesitant. Is he awakening a past life, or has he been taken over by Possession?"

Qin Yiming smiled. "No wonder you sent me a letter asking me to bring that Treasure."

"Precisely," Sui Zhi’s Spirit lifted. "Did you bring it?"

"Of course, I did. Come, I’ll take a look for you and see whether that child is a Reincarnation Cultivator or a Possession Cultivator."

Qin Yiming took out a Tier Five Treasure in the shape of a Copper Mirror and waved it at Sui Zhi.

The Copper Mirror was oval. Its center was so polished it could be used as a mirror, but it was surrounded by a finger-thick frame engraved with simple, incised cloud patterns.

Although its design was simple, even a bit crude, Sui Zhi could sense the immense aura emanating from the Treasure. It was a good thing this Treasure wasn’t an offensive type. Otherwise, a Tier Five Treasure, which is an Upper Grade Treasure, could kill him with a single strike.

"I have him cultivating in seclusion in the ancestral residence. Brother Yiming, please follow me."

In front of his friend, Sui Zhi didn’t control his expression. He sighed, looking deeply worried.

If Sui Xiao was a Reincarnation Cultivator, that would be fine. Everything could proceed as normal.

After all, a Reincarnation Cultivator often only remembers fragments of their past life. This life is a brand new beginning.

Therefore, they would develop feelings for their family, while feeling disconnected from their past life, like watching flowers in a dream.

Although their Cultivation speed is generally not as fast as a Possession Cultivator’s, their potential is limitless. And the higher their Cultivation, the greater an asset they become to the family.

A Possession Cultivator is different. Their way of thinking is already set, and they won’t have the slightest emotional attachment to or identification with the family.

While their Cultivation speed is usually much faster than that of a Reincarnation Cultivator, their potential is limited by their Celestial Lifespan. Moreover, the higher their Cultivation, the more of a menace they become to the family. They must be eliminated before they become too powerful, or one must sign a contract with them and seek cooperation.

But even in cooperation, one must remain constantly vigilant from then on.

Sui Zhi certainly did not want Du Youqian to be a Possession Cultivator!

But Du Youqian’s Cultivation speed was simply too fast. And that Sword Intent, those Secret Techniques, and the Defensive Divine Abilities that had appeared once—they all made it impossible for him not to be suspicious.

Soon, they arrived at the ancestral residence.

With the strength of their Divine Sense, they were confident they would not be discovered by Du Youqian.

"Brother Yiming, please look. This is the child I was talking about."
