I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

In this life, Du Youqian’s existence came to a stop at the age of 554.

The rich experiences of his 554 years, a magnificent and turbulent panorama, flashed before his eyes.

Moments he thought had long since faded were, in fact, as clear as yesterday.

It was as if he were walking the path of his life once more, and this time, he noticed even more details.

He had no regrets, nor was there much to be sorry for.

He had lived this life to the fullest. Perhaps he had made mistakes, but unless he could see the future, he could only have done what he did in those circumstances.

The highlight reel of his life ended, and the evaluation arrived.

Evaluation: Grade A-Upper

Reward: 5 Spirit Root points and one opportunity to reallocate his Spirit Roots.

Remember:

You may only be reincarnated upon dying of old age. A violent death will not grant entry into Reincarnation.

Before the age of 18, you will turn misfortune into good fortune and calamities into blessings. At 18, you will surely break through the Mystery of the Womb.

~~~~~

Additionally, due to your ascension to the Nascent Soul Realm, you have received a feedback bonus. From now on, the number of your reincarnations is no longer limited. You may also roughly choose the geographical region of your next birth. Your status in future reincarnations will be significantly higher. Unless you choose otherwise, you will no longer be born into a family of commoners or lower. You may not reincarnate as an Alien Race.

~~~~~

Additionally, due to a certain special power, from now on, you will possess "One Certificate Forever" until you reach the Harmonization Realm.

As long as you reach a certain Realm in one life, you will no longer face any bottlenecks when cultivating to that Realm in the future.

~~~~~

The Grade A-Upper evaluation did not surprise Du Youqian.

In fact, he was certain his evaluation would be Grade A-Upper, as that was the highest possible rating.

He had saved the world several times in this life. It would be utterly unreasonable if he didn’t receive an A-Upper.

The opportunity to reallocate his Spirit Roots was not an unexpected bonus, but a reasonable reward.

The ability to choose the geographical region of his next birth and the improved status were the first pleasant surprises.

For instance, he could choose to be reborn near the Endless Desert Sea in his next life. This would allow him to inherit this life’s legacy as quickly as possible and swiftly pass through his period of weakness.

He could plan and arrange for the next life in each preceding one.

The higher status would also give him more freedom of choice right after breaking through the Mystery of the Womb.

He was forbidden from reincarnating as an Alien Race. Du Youqian hadn’t even considered it, so the special emphasis on this point left him baffled.

’Does this mean I could reincarnate as an Alien Race if I meet certain conditions in the future?’

’Never mind, better not.’

The second pleasant surprise was, of course, the "One Certificate Forever" ability.

If guaranteeing that he could break through the Mystery of the Womb at 18 in every reincarnation was like using a cheat...

...then adding the "One Certificate Forever" ability on top of that was like using a cheat engine *and* setting the game to easy mode.

As for where this "One Certificate Forever" ability came from...

’Due to a certain special power?’

The only thing Du Youqian could think of was the incident in the Illusion Realm, tens of thousands of years in the past, where the Creation Jade Scroll Fragment had taken him. There, an unknown Emperor had stamped the Creation Jade Scroll with the Celestial Emperor Seal.

’Could it be that it wasn’t just an illusion?’

’Or, even though it was an illusion, did the Emperor’s power bleed into reality because it was so immense?’

The current Du Youqian couldn’t yet comprehend such things.

In any case, no other possibility seemed as likely.

His guess was the most probable one.

Du Youqian wasn’t given much time to think.

His Spirit Roots materialized once again, ten types of them arranged in a row.

Black for water, white for metal... Qing for wind, gold for lightning...

There was the Cosmos Spirit Root, which seemed to connect the past and future; the Space Spirit Root, which represented space; and an unknown, chaotically profound Spirit Root.

At this point, Du Youqian had 21 Spirit Root points.

Du Youqian had long been certain he would receive a Grade A-Upper evaluation and had considered the possibility of getting a chance to reallocate his Spirit Roots.

Therefore, he had already thought long and hard about how to distribute the points.

To practice the Cosmic System Cultivation Technique, the "Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth," 10 points in the Cosmos Spirit Root were necessary.

Considering that the "Golden Jade Flying Scripture of the Eight Realms of Truth" also seemed to involve parts related to space, it was necessary to add 8 points to his Space Spirit Root, bringing it to the level of a Top Grade Spirit Root.

The reason he didn’t raise it to 10 was to avoid having the secondary upstage the primary.

Du Youqian had heard a theory that if two types of Spirit Roots were at the exact same level, it would actually hinder one’s cultivation speed.

For example, having dual Top Grade Spirit Roots in water and fire would result in a slower cultivation speed than having a single Upper Grade Spirit Root.

Of course, it was a different matter if five types of Spirit Roots—such as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—were all at the same level.

It was said that when the Spirit Roots for Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were all identical and at the Upper Grade level or higher, it was called a Five Elements Sacred Body.

Furthermore, Du Youqian had read a predecessor’s speculation in a classic text. It said that combinations like "wind-lightning" or "fire-wind" wouldn’t hinder cultivation speed. On the contrary, they had various wonderful uses. If both the "wind" and "lightning" Spirit Roots, or the "fire" and "wind" Spirit Roots, were all above a certain level, it could also be considered a type of sacred body.

So, perhaps the "Space" and "Cosmos" Spirit Roots were also a combination that could enhance each other.

But Du Youqian didn’t know much about it and didn’t want to be his own guinea pig.

’I’ll wait until I’ve read widely and understood the Inheritance related to this area before I try.’

Du Youqian invested his final 3 Spirit Root points into his Metal Spirit Root. He did this because "poison" and "plague" belong to the Metal element, and he wanted to comprehend the Divine Ability for spreading venomous plagues that he had copied from Master Nine. Adding points to his Metal Spirit Root should help with that comprehension.

After doing all this, Du Youqian’s consciousness slowly began to sink.

Before his consciousness sank completely into darkness, he clearly sensed the Spring and Autumn Brush emitting a faint, ancient, and boundless light, while the Creation Jade Scroll bobbed up and down.

Behind them was an oval, metallic mirror with an intricately patterned frame.

The mirror’s surface was misty. On closer inspection, the surface seemed to be fluid, swirling endlessly as if brewing something.

’Is this the Reincarnation Mirror?’

It was the first time Du Youqian had seen it so clearly.

Back then, the Emperor in the Illusion Realm had said that he had "harnessed the power of the Reincarnation Mirror, the Spring and Autumn Brush, and the Creation Jade Scroll Fragment to trace back this Cosmic Light Fragment."

He had never understood just when the Reincarnation Mirror had come into his possession.

’Or... has it been with me all along?’

Soon, a huge map was projected in front of Du Youqian.

Du Youqian focused his gaze and quickly found the location of the Endless Desert Sea.

Compared to the boundless expanse of the Human World, the vast Endless Desert Sea was actually just a small, secluded corner—nothing more than a scrap.

’What about Momenan?’

Du Youqian looked again and discovered a small, isolated map outside the Human World. Its total area was only about one-fifth the size of the Endless Desert Sea.

Compared to the Human World, it was like a tiny mouse next to an elephant.

The terrain looked very familiar; it had to be Momenan.

He tried to make a selection and found that he could indeed only choose a large, rough area. For example, he couldn’t choose a specific location like the Endless Desert Western Domain; he could only vaguely select the entire Human World...

Du Youqian was suddenly speechless.

’So what’s the point of being able to "roughly choose the geographical region of your next birth"?’

Oh, it seemed Momenan could be selected on its own.

’So, do other worlds exist? According to the usual tropes of immortal cultivating novels, that’s practically a certainty.’

’In the future, if I discover more worlds, will I be able to choose to reincarnate in them too?’

After a moment’s consideration, Du Youqian chose the Human World as the place for his reincarnation.

’I worked so hard to pioneer and build a foundation in my last life. I wonder if I’ll be lucky enough to reincarnate near the Endless Desert Sea this time, so I can quickly inherit the gear and skills from my previous playthrough and dominate everything!’

Then, his entire being transformed into a stream of light and plunged into the map.

Return, oh soul!
