Script of Reincarnation

Three months slipped by unnoticed.

Autumn gradually faded, replaced by the cool winds of early winter.

During these three months, the Lu Family and the Bai Family remained unusually lively.

The marriage alliance between two of the strongest Spirit Awakening Realm families in Canglan Prefecture naturally attracted the attention of countless cultivation forces.

It was even more so when one of the two people involved was Lu Yang, the peerless genius who had entered the Spirit Awakening Realm before reaching thirty years of age.

Many people clearly understood that this wedding represented far more than merely the union of two younger generations, symbolizing the closer relationship between two top tier Spirit Awakening Realm cultivation families.

...

On the day of the wedding, the entire Lu Family became incomparably bustling.

Long before sunrise, luxurious carriages had already begun arriving outside the family estate.

Cultivators wearing robes of various colors continuously entered through the gates.

One after another, gifts piled up almost like small mountains near the entrance.

The atmosphere was extremely lively.

Looking around, powerful figures could be seen everywhere.

Spirit Awakening cultivators who ordinarily remained secluded within their respective clans now appeared one after another.

The wedding banquet alone welcomed more than fifteen Spirit Awakening Realm guests!

Such a lineup was enough to shock almost any ordinary Spirit Awakening Realm cultivation family.

Among them were representatives from the Bai Family, naturally, however, they were far from being the only distinguished guests.

Many Spirit Awakening Realm families from throughout Canglan Prefecture personally dispatched their elder level figures, and even several cultivation families located beyond Canglan Prefecture traveled thousands of miles to attend.

Altogether, more than ten Spirit Awakening Realm forces gathered beneath the same roof!

Throughout the entire history of the Lu Family, only the current Family Head’s wedding decades ago had possessed comparable grandeur.

Many younger disciples secretly looked around with excitement.

Under ordinary circumstances, it was already difficult for them to meet even one Spirit Awakening cultivator from outside the clan, but today, such figures seemed almost commonplace.

Everywhere they looked, another powerful expert appeared.

The scale alone caused numerous younger members to secretly gasp.

There actually weren’t many Spirit Awakening Realm families in Canglan Prefecture.

Excluding those directly attached to the True Martial Sect, only around twelve or thirteen independent Spirit Awakening Realm families truly existed.

Except for a few that did not have particularly good relations with the Lu Family, such as the Wu Family, most others had sent elders of the Spirit Awakening Realm.

Additionally, several well known Spirit Awakening Rogue Cultivators also appeared.

Almost everyone who possessed sufficient status attended.

Even a few Spirit Awakening Realm cultivation families subordinate to the True Martial Sect dispatched important representatives.

Although no Spirit Awakening expert from them personally arrive, they still sent peak Ninth Stage Body Tempering Realm cultivators carrying congratulatory gifts.

Half of this respect belonged to the Lu Family and Bai Family, while the other half belonged solely to Lu Yang himself.

Everyone understood one thing; if nothing unexpected occurred, this young man possessed tremendous hope of becoming an Essence Gathering Realm cultivator in the future.

Nobody wished to miss the opportunity to establish goodwill beforehand.

...

Within the bustling crowd, a familiar figure quietly appeared.

It was none other than Fang Chen.

Compared to several years ago, he appeared considerably more mature, and his originally carefree demeanor had also become much steadier.

The moment the two sworn brothers met, they simply smiled.

No unnecessary words were exchanged, instead, Fang Chen directly embraced Lu Yang heavily.

"Haha, you actually got married before me!"

Lu Yang smiled helplessly.

"I didn’t expect it either."

The two chatted for quite some time, most of the conversation revolving around their cultivation and Fang Chen’s recent adventures.

Fang Chen’s eyes gradually brightened as he spoke with immense confidence.

"It won’t take much longer; I’ve already touched the threshold. The next time we meet, I’ll also be a Spirit Awakening cultivator."

Lu Yang naturally understood what he meant and nodded gently.

"I’ll wait."

Fang Chen laughed heartily.

Unfortunately, because his own breakthrough was approaching, he couldn’t stay for long.

After offering his congratulations once more, he departed before sunset.

Watching his sworn brother leave, Lu Yang unconsciously smiled.

Everyone around him was also steadily moving forward.

...

The wedding concluded smoothly, and no unexpected incidents occurred.

Afterward, life returned to its usual peace.

But at the same time, it also changed subtly.

Previously, Lu Yang’s courtyard always appeared somewhat desolate.

Apart from several servants and maids responsible for daily maintenance, almost nobody lived there.

Now, two additional figures permanently entered that tranquil residence.

One was naturally Bai Qinglan, and the other was Bai Qinglan’s personal maid who had accompanied her since childhood and continued serving her after marrying into the Lu Family.

The once silent courtyard became somewhat livelier with their arrival.

...

One evening, the two quietly sat together eating dinner, the aroma of freshly prepared dishes filling the hall.

Bai Qinglan calmly picked up another piece of food before placing it into Lu Yang’s bowl.

"Eat, or you’ll forget again."

Hearing those words, the maid standing nearby couldn’t help lowering her head, secretly smiling.

Ever since the wedding, such scenes occurred almost every day.

Whenever Lu Yang immersed himself in thought, he almost forgot everything around him.

Lu Yang smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you."

As he lowered his head towards the bowl, his movements suddenly paused.

For a brief moment, he became absentminded.

The scene before him unexpectedly overlapped with another memory.

Many years ago, his father had often done exactly the same, and his mother would occasionally tease him for becoming absentminded while eating.

Back then, the family of three always ate together.

Looking at the bowl before him, a faint smile unconsciously surfaced upon Lu Yang’s face.

Across the table, Bai Qinglan blinked curiously.

"What are you smiling about?"

Lu Yang slowly regained his senses.

He looked at her before gently shaking his head.

"Nothing."

His smile remained warm as he spoke.

"I just suddenly remembered something."

Seeing he didn’t wish to elaborate, Bai Qinglan didn’t continue asking, turning back to her food.

Looking at the woman before him, Lu Yang couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

A family... he possessed one once again.

Perhaps his parents would also feel relieved seeing this scene.

...

Time flowed onward rapidly as the peaceful days accumulated one by one.

Unknowingly, another two years passed in such a manner.

In these two years, many things happened.

The younger generation continuously progressed, and among them, Bai Qinglan finally broke through to the Eighth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm shortly before turning thirty.

Although her cultivation speed couldn’t compare with Lu Yang’s, throughout the Canglan Prefecture, it still belonged among the absolute first class geniuses, expected to reach the Spirit Awakening Realm under forty.

Even many Spirit Awakening Realm elders praised her repeatedly.

At the same time, another piece of good news spread throughout the Lu Family.

Lu Tianhe had successfully entered the Spirit Awakening Realm.

One of the Twin Stars of the Lu Family finally crossed that long awaited threshold.

After becoming a Spirit Awakening cultivator, he officially became the Thirteenth Elder of the Lu Family.

On the day he assumed office, Lu Yang personally went to congratulate him.

The two quietly drank several cups of wine together.

They conversed very little, but neither of them found the atmosphere awkward.

The scars of the past had gradually faded with time; it had been nearly ten years since that incident, after all.

They could never return to their previous relationship, however, they had not become strangers either.

Perhaps, this was already the best possible outcome.

At almost the same time, Lu Qingyu also entered long term seclusion, intending to impact the Spirit Awakening Realm as well.

Looking at the current younger generation, many older Lu Family cultivators secretly sighed with emotion.

The Lu Family was truly flourishing.

...

One afternoon, a messenger arrived outside Lu Yang’s courtyard carrying an official letter.

The wax seal upon it immediately caught Lu Yang’s attention.

It was stamped with the seal of the Wuyuan Provincial Capital’s government.

Opening the letter, a familiar handwriting immediately entered his vision. It was, without a doubt, Fang Chen’s.

After carefully reading through the contents, Lu Yang couldn’t help smiling slightly.

Across from him, Bai Qinglan looked over curiously, "What happened?"

Lu Yang handed her the letter.

After reading several lines, Bai Qinglan revealed visible surprise.

"He’s getting married?"

She paused briefly before saying incredulously.

"... to the daughter of the Wuyuan King?"

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

She naturally knew what the Wuyuan King represented.

That was the ruler appointed by the Imperial Court over the entire Wuyuan Province, the younger brother of the Emperor, a genuine Qi Sea Realm powerhouse, capable of shaking the entire Wuyuan Province with a stomp of his feet.

His authority could be described as supreme throughout the province.

She raised her head again.

"I didn’t expect your sworn brother would actually become the Wuyuan King’s son-in-law."

Lu Yang smiled faintly, speaking in a smug tone.

"He asked me for advice regarding this matter years ago, alright?"

Bai Qinglan gave him a side eye full of disdain before looking at him somewhat curiously.

"You’ve never told me how you two first met."

Hearing that, Lu Yang slowly leaned against the chair, looking at the distant mountains outside.

Slowly, he began recounting the story.

From the assassination attempt to their first encounter when he was experiencing the world to becoming sworn brothers, the dangers they encountered, the various battles and adventures...

Bai Qinglan listened attentively throughout.

Unlike the Lu Family, the Bai Family didn’t have the tradition of sending descendants to the outside world to temper themselves. Therefore, many of Lu Yang’s experiences seemed particularly novel to her.

Sometimes, she even subconsciously asked several questions.

Time passed like flowing water amidst their conversation.

Finally, after reading the final line of Fang Chen’s invitation once more, Lu Yang slowly folded the letter, the smile on his face deepening.

"It has been over a decade since I last went to Wuyuan City... I should also go congratulate my sworn brother."

Bai Qinglan gently nodded.

"When do we leave?"

Lu Yang looked at the clear sky outside the courtyard.

"Next week."

After speaking those two words, he couldn’t help but gaze beyond the Lu Family estate.

Ever since his parents’ deaths, he had remained within the clan for years, never leaving even once.

Now, tor the first time since that incident, he would once again step beyond the gates of the Lu Family and journey into the outside world.

Except this time, he was no longer that fifteen-year old youth, but a Spirit Awakening Realm powerhouse and elder of a powerful clan.
