I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Feng Xiaoyi’s Possession didn’t take very long.

A few hours later, just as dusk was falling, "Little Sister Jie" walked out of the Daoist Temple. Her eyes shimmered as if filled with tears, her cheeks were rosy, and her smile was shy and timid. She came up behind Du Youqian, naturally took his arm, and said, "Celestial Master, my chest feels a little uncomfortable. Could you please check it for me?"

Du Youqian just as naturally shook off her hand, his face wearing a deeply mocking smile. "Little Sister Jie, please have some self-respect. You are nothing but a lowly Dancing Girl from the Celestial Master’s Mansion. Don’t think you can just climb into my bed and turn from a pheasant into a phoenix."

"Stop calling me Little Sister Jie! I am Jie Yu!" Jie Yu’s face fell. "And you should be calling me Master. You have no respect."

Du Youqian couldn’t be bothered to play along with her role-playing game anymore. "Master, do you need to enter seclusion for a while to adjust your body and soul? It looks like your soul hasn’t merged well with the body, and your Cultivation is only at the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation. I thought you said you could transfer a portion of your Cultivation to the new body and at least recover to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage."

"How could that be possible!" Jie Yu rolled her eyes at him. "Qi Cultivation Perfection is the absolute limit. A new body must undergo Foundation Establishment all over again. Foundation Establishment is the process of forming a Dao Foundation from one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit, along with the Spirit Root. The body is completely different, so how could I directly achieve Foundation Establishment?"

After a pause, she added, "Seclusion is definitely necessary. After a few months in seclusion, my body and soul will be perfectly harmonized, so no one will easily see through the ruse. My Cultivation will also rise naturally to the Qi Cultivation Late Stage, and with a bit of luck, I might even reach Qi Cultivation Perfection directly. However, I first need to deal with my original body and give ’Feng Xiaoyi’ a proper end."

"Master, you should go into seclusion first. If you have any arrangements for your original body, I can take care of them for you."

Jie Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. While the body is still warm, you can do whatever you want with it. I don’t mind."

"..."

’Is that what I meant?’

’Do you think I have that kind of fetish?’

’As a master, how can you be so undignified? Teasing your disciple like that!’

’Master, if you’re not satisfied with your current body, I can arrange another Possession for you, free of charge...’

Seeing the displeasure on Du Youqian’s face, Jie Yu didn’t dare take the joke too far.

’My Cultivation is only at the Qi Cultivation stage right now. This wicked disciple of mine could truly crush me with a flick of his wrist!’

So, Jie Yu coughed and said unnaturally, "As for that body, I have my own plans for it. You can store it for me for now. The corpse of a Core Formation Cultivator doesn’t rot easily, so it won’t be difficult."

Du Youqian said with a blank expression, "In that case, Master, please begin your seclusion here. I have other matters to attend to."

"Wait!"

Du Youqian stopped.

"Wicked disciple, haven’t you always been curious about that marvelous object hidden in my cave abode? Have you ever thought about going to see it?"

Jie Yu blinked her large eyes, observing her disciple’s expression with great interest.

Du Youqian said bluntly, "Of course I have. But since you never told me to go see it, Master, I naturally wouldn’t."

"Hehehe! You wicked disciple, if you want to go, then go. Didn’t you say you wanted Little Wukong to join you? Go get him yourself. He’s in my cave abode."

Du Youqian nodded.

"And another thing!" Jie Yu’s tone became stern. "You can go look! But that thing is mine. You are not to take it! Understand?"

Du Youqian nodded again. "I won’t take it."

Of course, Jie Yu believed he wouldn’t take it. Otherwise, why would she have allowed him to go see it?

In fact, if Du Youqian were truly an untrustworthy person, he could have easily taken control of her during the Possession and stolen her treasure.

It was precisely because Du Youqian had earned her trust that she was willing to open up to him a little more and share her most valued treasure with him.

’Back then, if I had trusted that person a little more, would the outcome between us have been different...?’ Jie Yu’s beautiful eyes glazed over, lost in thought.

"Master, Master!"

"Yes!" Jie Yu snapped back to her senses.

"I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask."

Du Youqian deliberated for a moment before asking directly, "In the Momenan Cultivation Realm, a mysterious figure has appeared in recent years. He’s been recruiting many Foundation Establishment Cultivators who are unappreciated in their own Sects, and perhaps even some Core Formation Masters. Do you know of such a person?"

Jie Yu asked, "Are there any other clues?"

"No."

Jie Yu shook her head. "Then I don’t know. To be honest, I’ve also had a vague feeling that there’s a hidden turmoil brewing these past few years. Someone must be pulling strings in the shadows, trying to fish in troubled waters. But this person is extremely cunning, and even I haven’t been able to find any trace of him."

Du Youqian could only say, "Then you must be extra careful. By the way, for this body, what Cultivation Technique do you plan to practice, and which Sect do you intend to join?"

Jie Yu flashed a brilliant smile. "I’ve been a Demoness of the Demon Sect for so long, it’s gotten a bit boring. In this life, I want to be a pure and elegant Saintess!"

Du Youqian was speechless. "Being a Saintess doesn’t suit you. You should go back to your promising career as a Demoness of the Demon Sect."

Jie Yu’s demeanor suddenly changed. Her expression became solemn and dignified, her eyes filled with compassion, and her face seemed to radiate a holy light.

Du Youqian took a look and found her act to be completely flawless. He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. "I take back what I said. Master, you’re quite qualified to be a Saintess after all."

Jie Yu burst out laughing. "Of course! Did you think I’ve never been a Saintess before? You’re so easily impressed."

She suddenly stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, "Over the years, I’ve had a nagging feeling that there was something strange about Shi Shentong’s disappearance. Later, I discovered that Master Wu Ji of the Taihe Sect also vanished at the same time. Their disappearances must be related."

Du Youqian’s expression also grew solemn. "That happened? Why exactly did they disappear?"

Jie Yu shook her head. "For now, it’s just baseless speculation. Let me gather more information first, and we can discuss it then."

"Alright. I’ll head to the Hundred Thousand Mountains first, then. Master, please focus on harmonizing your body and soul as quickly as possible."

Jie Yu waved goodbye as Du Youqian boarded his Flying Boat and soared into the sky.

The journey to Jie Yu’s cave abode was smooth. Feeling a little excited, Du Youqian put away his Flying Boat and cautiously stepped inside.

His excitement wasn’t about finally getting to see the marvelous object, but because he hadn’t seen Little Wukong in over two hundred years, and he missed him dearly.

In his previous life, the ones who had spent the most time with him, day in and day out, were Fang Hua and Little Wukong.

Man is not grass or wood; how could one be without feelings?

When he needed to control his emotions, he could, and so he refrained from seeking out Little Wukong.

But now that he no longer needed to hold back, his longing for his pet flooded out of him like water from a broken dam.

A person’s feelings for a pet are second only to their feelings for their parents, children, spouse, or lover.

It even surpasses the affection one has for siblings or other friends and relatives.

Well, sometimes it might even surpass the feelings between spouses or lovers.

Because companionship truly is the most subtle, silent way to deepen affection.

"SQUEAK, SQUEAK!" Before the sound even faded, a monkey’s figure shot out like a bolt of lightning, appearing before Du Youqian.

Little Wukong stopped and warily sized up the stranger. But before Du Youqian could even introduce himself, Little Wukong’s eyes lit up with joy, and he leaped onto Du Youqian’s shoulder.

He had actually recognized Du Youqian, despite his completely changed appearance and Divine Sense.

’What kind of miraculous ability is this?’

’Could it be that he can directly perceive a person’s soul?’

Du Youqian patted the little monkey on his shoulder. In over two hundred years, his height and weight hadn’t changed in the slightest.

It was as if time had completely forgotten him.

"I was reincarnated, that’s why I’m only now coming to find you. Have you been well?"

"SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK! SQUEAK SQUEAK!" The monkey gestured wildly, indicating that he was very happy. This place was fun; there were countless mountains and countless animals, and he had made many friends.

Though none of them were as smart as he was, it didn’t matter. He never cared if his friends were smart or not—after all, none of them were as smart as him anyway.

"What about me?" Du Youqian asked.

Little Wukong looked at him quizzically. "Squeak squeak squeak?"

Are you misunderstanding something? No way, no way, you don’t actually think you’re smart, do you?

Du Youqian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’My intelligence is being looked down upon by a monkey?’

Well, considering this was a monkey with the Great Sage Bloodline, he decided it was best not to dwell on the issue.

"I came this time to take you with me," Du Youqian said. "From now on, you’ll stay with me. But you’ll have to change your appearance. Otherwise, people will recognize you as Master You De’s pet."

Little Wukong naturally understood what "pet" meant, but he didn’t care.

Perhaps he thought he really was his friend’s beloved creature, and there was nothing wrong with that.

"SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!"

Little Wukong indicated that changing his appearance was a piece of cake.

"That’s good." Du Youqian led him deeper into the cave abode.

On this trip, he would, of course, go and see the marvelous object that Jie Yu treasured so dearly.

As they walked, he and Little Wukong shared stories about their separate lives over the past two hundred years.

His life had been unremarkable. He’d spent 222 years lying in a sickbed. For eighty of those years, his memory was a complete blank, and for the other hundred-plus years, he was in a Living Dead state, unable to even move a finger.

His current life had been quite short, with few stories worth mentioning.

Little Wukong, on the other hand, had many stories to tell. By the time they reached the screen, Little Wukong’s tales had only just begun.
