"Meng Qi, here's your Human Emperor Sword back," Cao Ya said with a smile, returning the Human Emperor Sword to Meng Qi.

"Actually, it's not mine either. I have to return it to Brother Gao Lan." Meng Qi took the Human Emperor Sword, staring intently at the Samsara Seal in Cao Ya's palm, his face showing excitement.

Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng also stared at the Reincarnation Seal and took a deep breath.

"Uncle-Master Xuanjie, could I ask you for a favor?"

Meng Qi hung the Overlord's Blade at his waist, and sent the Human Emperor Sword into the void, returning it to the real world and back to Gao Lan's hands. Then, he rubbed his palms together and spoke.

"You want to revive your teammates?" Cao Ya immediately noticed their intentions.

"We are willing to offer our most precious treasures to persuade the Immortal Arhat to help us!" Jiang Zhiwei said, cupping her hands in greeting.

“We might not be able to produce it now, but in the next few years—well, maybe even a decade or more—we will definitely produce something that will satisfy Uncle-Master Xuanjie,” Meng Qi hurriedly added.

They are either at the Dharmakaya stage or at the peak of the Outer Realm, about to reach the Dharmakaya stage. Looking at the real world, they are considered formidable figures.

They weren't just talking nonsense about what kind of treasure they wanted to get their hands on.

"Okay." Cao Ya nodded, neither refusing nor insisting.

He believed that Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others would definitely come up with something that would satisfy him.

Especially Meng Qi!

As the new generation's "cause of all fruits," Meng Qi is bound to connect with the beings of all the heavens and myriad realms and attract the attention of important figures as he takes over the identity of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Therefore, even if Meng Qi does nothing, all sorts of things will come to him on their own.

As long as you survive the many experiences you have, your treasures will definitely increase.

Buzz~~~

Cao Ya held the Reincarnation Seal and secretly circulated the "Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique," emanating the intent of reincarnation and connecting with the Reincarnation Seal.

Suddenly, he stopped, looking embarrassed.

"By the way, whose reincarnation are you looking for?" Cao Ya asked.

"???" The four were speechless.

You started without knowing anything?

I was initially surprised by the indestructible Arhat's mastery of reincarnation!

“Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen…” Ruan Yushu said in succession, being the first to speak.

"Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen... um, wait a moment." Cao Ya activated the Samsara Seal, and in a daze, it seemed that the phantoms of myriad worlds appeared, and countless living beings flashed by, some joyful and some sorrowful.

With flashes of light and shadow, Cao Ya finally locked onto several figures.

He told Meng Qi and the others about his discovery.

The four of them were naturally very excited.

While Meng Qi was overjoyed, he also sighed inwardly. His former teammates had already been reincarnated, but where was the woman he both loved and hated?

He didn't bother his Uncle Master Xuanjie to activate the Reincarnation Seal to find Gu Xiaosang's reincarnation, because he knew that Gu Xiaosang was the "beacon of the Dao" of the Eternal Mother, and if she died, it would be absolutely impossible for her to be reincarnated.

Meng Qi could only hope that Gu Xiaosang had left some backup plan somewhere for him to discover, so that he could revive this quirky woman.

Then, Meng Qi placed his hand on the Overlord Blade, cleaved through the void, and went to another world, not the real world, but the Investiture of the Gods world!

He wanted to understand what karmic entanglements lay behind him, and who, besides the Demon Buddha, was orchestrating this scheme?

Why was my physical body from Earth placed in the Jade Void Palace of the Investiture of the Gods world?

Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng were entrusted to his senior uncle Xuanjie, who asked him to take them back to the real world.

He understood that with his master Xuanjie's abilities, he was capable of anchoring the coordinates of the real world.

Furthermore, Master Xuanjie possesses the peerless divine weapon, the Reincarnation Seal!

The others were well aware of Meng Qi's purpose in going to another realm, and none of them asked.

"Let's go back," Cao Ya said. The Samsara Seal spun, tearing open the void and swallowing the group.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, rare flowers and exotic herbs abound, and celestial birds and mythical beasts roam freely.

The palace with the plaque "Doushuai Palace" looks ordinary and unremarkable, but anyone with discernment in the world will hold it in high esteem.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, sat upright in front of the Bagua furnace in the hall, seemingly indifferent to worldly affairs and detached from the mundane world, having remained unmoved for thousands of years.

"Reincarnation..." A word and an image suddenly flashed through the old man's mind.

She was a gentle and beautiful woman who reached the other shore, yet willingly perished, transforming into the Seal of Reincarnation to repair heaven and earth and perfect the rules of the universe.

The scene of Houtu attaining enlightenment and then falling to the other shore was witnessed by the Heavenly Venerable of Morality in the past, and he was deeply moved.

Suddenly, he sighed, remaining silent as he continued to refine the Eight Trigrams Furnace, using the universe as fuel and the Great Dao as fire.

Beside them, the Golden Horned Boy and the Silver Horned Boy lowered their heads in awe, not daring to face the Eight Trigrams Furnace directly.

They knew very well who was being refined inside; it was a renowned figure!

In the world of Investiture of the Gods, Meng Qi arrived in this realm and went straight to the Jade Void Palace.

The palace gates were wide open, and he strolled in leisurely, only to encounter a person he had never expected.

"Junior brother..." Meng Qi whispered.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time." The person opposite smiled and said. He was dressed in a water-colored robe, a cloud-shaped crown, straw sandals, and a silk sash around his waist. He had a handsome and refined appearance, with red lips and white teeth. He looked exactly like his junior brother Zhenhui who had grown up!

But this is not his junior brother; this person is Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun—Yang Jian!

Sorrow and anger were brewing in Meng Qi's heart. He stood at the door with his hand on the Overlord Blade, his deep eyes staring straight at Yang Jian.

"He is not a beacon of the Dao, not a fish, not a reincarnation. Zhenhui is simply a wisp of my consciousness transformed, based on my state of mind and personality before entering the Dao, with my later memories concealed. He is me, and I am him; we are inseparable." Yang Jian said slowly with a faint smile on his face.

Meng Qi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

Cao Ya led Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng back to the real world, settling at Shaolin Temple.

The three outdoor shooting experts weren't afraid of the dangers on the road.

The Shaolin monks were not surprised to see the three. Cao Ya's departure from the real world had caused a great stir, and those of them at Shaolin Temple were well aware of the Arhat's whereabouts.

Now that everyone has returned, they know perfectly well that the Arhat's journey should be successful!

"Thank you, Arhat Buhuai." After expressing their gratitude, the three declined the Shaolin abbot's offer to stay and left the temple together, each returning to their respective sects or families.

Cao Ya remained in the meditation room. In the void before him, the Samsara Seal floated and sank, surrounded by six black holes that swirled around it, creating an atmosphere of reincarnation.

However, under Cao Ya's control, this state of mind was only felt in the meditation room, and no one outside could perceive it.

"This trip has been quite fruitful," Cao Ya said with a smile.

Having helped Meng Qi and resolved the destructive crisis brought about by the escape of the Demon Buddha, his main objective was considered accomplished. However, he did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise: the Reincarnation Seal would take the initiative to recognize him as its master!
