I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

"Dozens of times your usual Cultivation speed? Not even a Decision-level Cultivation Technique could have such an effect... Could it be that you have an extremely rare Abnormal Attribute Celestial Spirit Root, one that couldn’t be detected?" Ancestor Sui Zhi’s voice grew excited. "I knew it! I knew it! From the moment you were born, I felt that you were extraordinary! And it’s true! Hahaha, the heavens have been good to the Sui Family! The Sui Family’s rise is at hand!"

Du Youqian said, "They searched me and took my Storage Treasure Pouch, but they didn’t dare to break it open by force to inspect it. So, the Jade Scroll with the Cultivation Technique is still there. Your grandson is willing to hand this Cultivation Technique over to you, Ancestor, for you to do with as you please!"

Sui Zhi said with satisfaction, "Good grandson, very good! I will remember your contribution to the family. All merits will be rewarded! However, you still have to go to the front lines. But you won’t have to fight to the death; I have other arrangements for you. Just give the Cultivation Technique to Shen Wu. I will retrieve it from him."

"Yes!"

"You must be careful! From now on, your body no longer belongs only to you. Your body, your Cultivation—they are tied to the smooth rise of the entire Sui Family and the well-being of our thousands of clansmen!" After repeatedly stressing this, Sui Zhi finally said, "Go on, now. Don’t worry about your safety on the road. I’ve arranged for people to protect you in secret."

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Du Youqian was actually a bit puzzled. ’Even after searching through all my memories, I can’t find the reason why the Ancestor values me so highly.’

’This couldn’t be explained away with a simple, "This child’s talent is exceptional."’

’After all, I never showed much extraordinary talent as a child. While I was a bit above average, it wasn’t by much.’

’And in this life, unlike my last one, I haven’t revealed my Sword Intent from a young age.’

’So why on earth does Ancestor Sui Zhi hold me in such high regard?’

There was an absurd rumor that he was actually the Ancestor’s biological son, born of an incestuous affair with his own daughter-in-law, and that was why the Ancestor doted on him.

But Du Youqian knew very well this wasn’t true. His mother, Duan Shurui’s, personality and various details from their daily life didn’t support such a rumor.

As for his father in this life, it was a fact that he and his mother, Duan Shurui, had a poor relationship. The reason, however, wasn’t Duan Shurui’s fault. It was because his father had grown up with Rong Jiaren of the Rong Family. Feelings had blossomed between them, and they were already preparing to discuss marriage. But the Sui Family’s three Core Formation Ancestors all opposed the union and demanded that his father choose a wife from among the main lineage daughters of the Duan Clan in Dali City.

Although his father compromised, he could never bring himself to be close to Duan Shurui, and even resented her somewhat.

After pondering for a while, Du Youqian gave up trying to find the answer with so little information.

He handed the Jade Scroll to Shen Wu, then departed with the two Cultivators who were escorting him.

He had yet to inspect the Treasure he’d obtained in that fortuitous encounter, but he did recognize the Elixir. It was a life-saving pill to be used during Core Formation.

’It was precious, to be sure, but unfortunately, it was of little use to me.’

’What was truly valuable to me was the Cultivation Technique, the *Profound Void Nether Flying Step Technique*.’

’A Decision-grade Cultivation Technique would be more than high-enough level to serve as the Inheritance technique for the Four Principles Sect.’

’After all, a complete Decision-grade Cultivation Technique could be cultivated all the way to the Divinity Transformation Realm!’

’Moreover, this technique was for the extremely rare "Cosmic" attribute. Because of this, Du Youqian’s 8 points of Cosmic Spirit Root had a tremendous effect, helping him advance from the Qi Cultivation Third Layer to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer in just a few short days, granting him the ability to fly for short periods.’

Du Youqian didn’t mind studying this Cultivation Technique more to help him understand the *Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth*.

~~~~~~~~~

The journey from Ruihan City to the front lines, traveling by a Spiritual Artifact Level Flying Boat, took more than half a month.

Along the way, they passed several Immortal Cities. Sometimes they would only fly over them, other times they would land to purchase supplies and restock.

The two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were quite polite to Du Youqian, and he, in turn, was well-behaved. He simply meditated in silence every day, doing nothing to make things difficult for them.

The Elixir to repair his Dantian was refined in the first Immortal City they passed. Now, the poison in Du Youqian’s Dantian had been neutralized, and it was slowly recovering, allowing him to resume his Cultivation.

Although the *Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth* was profound, Du Youqian had cultivated many high-level techniques before. His knowledge was on par with a Nascent Soul Master’s, and his Divine Sense was even more formidable—at the start of each new life, his Divine Sense was stronger than it had been in the last.

As a result, after dissipating his previous skill and starting over with the *Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth*, he quickly mastered the basics. His Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

By the time they reached the front lines and reported to the Immortal City Alliance’s frontline command, Du Youqian had already recovered his Cultivation to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Du Youqian was still unsatisfied with this rocket-like speed, believing that his Dantian had not yet fully recovered and was slowing his progress.

Du Youqian didn’t go to meet with the Immortal City Alliance’s supreme commander, the Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator Master Pu Tai—at his current level, he didn’t have the status for that.

He, along with the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, simply reported to Lu Yao Master, a Core Formation Master and the commander of C Subteam. This subteam was under the command of Ma Yu Master, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator and the regional commander for the area assigned to Ruihan City.

Lu Yao Master didn’t exchange a single word with him, merely nodding as his eyes passed over him. Du Youqian figured he only received that glance out of respect for his status as a main-lineage son of the Sui Family, one of Ruihan City’s Four Great Clans.

Otherwise, a little shrimp at the Qi Cultivation Realm wouldn’t even have the right to stand before a Core Formation Master.

Lu Yao Master offered a few words of encouragement to the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators accompanying Du Youqian before assigning them to Bingchou Squad.

A Cultivator’s military camp was, naturally, not as crude as a mortal’s.

In fact, this so-called military camp was built more like a luxury inn. Every Foundation Establishment Cultivator had a spacious, private courtyard to live in, complete with several mortal servants responsible for cleaning and other chores.

𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qi Cultivation Cultivators, however, only received an ordinary single room.

However, perhaps because Ancestor Sui Zhi’s influence was at work, or maybe a hefty bribe had done the trick, Bingchou Squad also assigned Du Youqian a small courtyard. The reason given was that Du Youqian was an Alchemist.

This reason was, of course, bizarre, and the other members of the squad were unconvinced. ’A little shrimp at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer? What kind of damn Alchemy can he do? Does being able to refine a Fasting Pill make you an Alchemist now?!’

’Since when did the bar for being an Alchemist get so low?’

Du Youqian naturally heard the rumors, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue.

He was keeping an exceptionally low profile for now. Since there were no battles recently, he didn’t need to take any action.

As for the training drills, he just went through the motions. His main goal was to avoid attracting attention, and he spent his days cultivating silently.

The Spirit Vein established here didn’t allocate a large share to each courtyard, but for a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, it was more than enough.

For Foundation Establishment Cultivators, however, it was a bit tight. They had to rely on killing enemies on the battlefield and exchanging Demon Race materials for Elixirs to maintain their Realm.

With abundant Spiritual Qi, no lack of Elixirs, cultivating a Scripture-grade technique like the *Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth*, and possessing a Celestial Spirit Root...

...if Du Youqian’s Cultivation speed were displayed on a progress bar, it would probably look like a rocket shooting straight up. WHOOSH!

In just over a month, his Realm reached the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

Of course, if anyone discovered this speed, it would be rather terrifying. So, Du Youqian used a Secret Technique to conceal it, outwardly maintaining the appearance of being at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Meanwhile, the anticipated attacks from the Rong and Bian Families never came.

’Ancestor Sui Zhi must have really paid a heavy price to prevent them.’

However, Du Youqian felt that an attack would come sooner or later.

It’s easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Du Youqian didn’t let his guard down just because he had the strength to face a Foundation Establishment Cultivator head-on. He remained constantly vigilant for a possible ambush.

Another month passed. Du Youqian had now been at the front lines for nearly three months.

After a period of truce, the smoke of war once again rose on the front lines.

The reason? Who the hell cares about the reason?

As for who actually started this new round of fighting?

Ten thousand years ago, people still cared about having a just cause for war.

Nowadays, when the Human Race meets the Demon Race, you just fight. Simple as that.

Who cares who’s right or wrong?

Of course, it wasn’t like this everywhere.

Some places in the Human World still followed the rules.

You needed a just cause for battle. To crusade against the Demon Race, you needed a rousing denunciation and had to occupy the moral high ground.

Sneak attacks were out of the question; everyone had High Tier Divination Masters, so who could you possibly sneak up on?

The strong bullying the weak was also a no-go. The humans had Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and the Demon Race had Great Saint Incarnations. If they made a move, the world would shatter. With a single breath, they could wipe out vast swaths of Cultivators below the Golden Core realm.

You just couldn’t play the game like that.

So, the rules had to be followed.

But the Immortal City Alliance was also innocent in its own way: ’We’re just a poor backwater here, full of ruffians. Our Cultivators are the type who refuse to take a loss. They’re hot-tempered, uncultured, and don’t have high Cultivation. Their lives are cheap.’

’On paper, we don’t even have a single Divinity Transformation Cultivator.’

’So, when we see the Demon Race, we just fight.’

’If we don’t fight, where’s our space to survive?’

’If we don’t plunder, where will we get cultivation resources?’

In short, in a muddle-headed sort of way, the Immortal City Alliance and the Demon Race were at war again.

Everyone, grab your weapons and get to it.

As a Cultivator who was officially at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer and had a powerful background, Du Youqian was also sent to the battlefield, but he was assigned to a relatively safe position in the rear.

A war between Cultivators and the Demon Race was naturally unlike a war between mortals.

In a war like this, the main fighting force on the Human Race’s side consisted of older Qi Cultivation Late Stage and Perfection Cultivators who had no hope of advancing further.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators, on the other hand, were the backbone of the army.

Cultivators at Core Formation and above usually wouldn’t intervene. Even if they did, they would only target the Tier Three Demon Kings on the Demon Race’s side. Both sides had a tacit understanding on this point.

If a Core Formation Cultivator started slaughtering Low Tier demons, or if a Tier Three Demon King began massacring Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Cultivators, then both sides still had their Nascent Soul Masters and Tier Four Shapeshifting Demon Kings to consider...

Nascent Soul Cultivators and Tier Four Shapeshifting Demon Kings usually served only as a deterrent force and would often not make a single move throughout an entire campaign.

Since Du Youqian was officially at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, even though he was sent to the front lines, it was impossible that he would actually be made to kill enemies. He wasn’t strong enough.

At most, he would be tasked with support duties and assisting others.

So, after several days, Du Youqian hadn’t encountered any danger whatsoever.
