Chapter 725: The Imperial Decree of Life and Death

"Have you heard? It is said that there is a secret method in the Palace of Rebirth that can prevent the resurrected true spirit from occupying the body of the younger generation!"

"Hmph, I asked someone about it, and it seems to be true. But it is foreseeable that the price of obtaining this secret method must be extremely huge. Those prominent families, in order to maintain the purity of their descendants, will definitely try their best to do it no matter how much it costs!"

"In my opinion, fellow Taoists, there is no need to be too resistant! The existence of this Rebirth Palace may be a good thing for us!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Think about it, you can be resurrected in eighteen years anyway. If you feel that your talent is limited in this life and there is no hope for cultivation, you can just commit suicide. Maybe you will be reborn into a good family in the next life, and your new body will also be gifted with extraordinary talents..."

The naive remarks immediately caused the other monks to laugh at him.

"Fellow Daoist, have you drunk too much spirit wine?"

"Let's not talk about whether you have such good luck. Why do you have to wait eighteen years for resurrection? Are the true spirits of the monks who died in these eighteen years really born completely randomly? I bet there must be some unknown trick in this!"

"I think what he said makes sense. Think about it, everyone. Our talents are mediocre and we have no hope of rising in this life. Even if we give birth to offspring, they are destined to be treated like cattle and horses and be bullied. Because of this, I never thought of raising offspring before. But now..."

"It's not impossible to give it a try. Not to mention the true spirit that my son has merged with, how amazing he must have been in his previous life. Just the extra lifetime of cultivation experience out of thin air is already an inestimable fortune. If the luck is a little better, he may be the reincarnation of a great being. Then, the father will be honored by his son, hehe!"

"Hiss, Daoist friend, what you said seems to make some sense."

…

Similar debates occurred throughout the Xuanhuang Realm.

Xu Bai learned more details about the [Palace of Rebirth] through Nangong Shirong.

"The rumors are true. There is indeed a secret method that can prevent newborns from being fused with true spirits. However..."

"Eight million contribution points need to be used in advance while still in the mother body."

"It's really fucking black! I've worked hard in Tianlingzhou for so many years, but I haven't saved this much."

"There is also the [Mirror of Rebirth], which can peek into the memory of the newborn's fused true spirit. If you are not satisfied, hiss..."

"Putting the True Spirit Guidance on the prepared body can increase the accuracy of your True Spirit reincarnating into the designated body."

"【Ultimate Body】, in the Palace of Rebirth, one can perfectly replicate one's current body. This allows for a perfect resurrection in the next life."

"【Purifying Soul】 can allow the true soul to maintain the emotions of the previous life during the eighteen years of cleansing in the Rebirth Palace."

"【Rebirth Command】, no need to wait eighteen years. After death, a bit of true spirit can be resurrected immediately."

…

Xu Bai and Nangong Shirong looked at the contents of the jade slip in front of them together, with different expressions on their faces.

“There are so many fancy stuff! Each one is priced sky-high, and ordinary people can’t afford it!” Nangong Shirong cursed inwardly.

“But that [Imperial Rebirth Command] is really a good thing. When paired with the [Ultimate Physical Shell], isn’t it equivalent to having one more life? No, if the contribution points are sufficient, it’s basically immortal and can be resurrected infinitely!” he exclaimed.

"I just don't know if there are any other restrictions." Xu Bai's eyes flashed and he nodded in agreement.

"All kinds of situations have been taken into consideration. It seems that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has been prepared for a long time. It may cause some disturbance, but I believe the cultivators will be able to adapt quickly." Xu Bai said this after scanning all the items listed in the jade slip.

“Once immortality is achieved, everything in the world will be turned upside down in an instant. This [God of Rebirth] is truly extraordinary. The history of the Xuanhuang Realm is about to usher in a new era.” Nangong Shirong said with emotion.

"I just don't know what the situation is with the Five Elders Association? Can the divine power of the Lord of Rebirth cover them?" Xu Bai suddenly asked.

"This..." Nangong Shirong hesitated, "I don't know either. However, I heard that a deal seemed to have been reached, and it was only piloted in a small area..."

Xu Bai's eyes flickered slightly.

From then on, the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm gradually adapted to the existence of the Palace of Rebirth in the sky.

Not long after, the first case of resurrection occurred.

A Jindan monk named Ximen Yang blew himself up in front of everyone, and his soul was destroyed.

But not long after, he reappeared in the public eye alive.

The appearance and behavior are the same as before.

He even remembered his self-destruction, and would brag to everyone about his experience of self-destruction, death, and rebirth.

The news spread quickly, and the monks who were originally skeptical about "rebirth" became convinced.

As cases of cultivators being reborn continued to appear in the land of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the existence of [rebirth] was gradually accepted by the public.

Devouring the white mist.

Even through the vast white fog, the three could vaguely see the looming Palace of Rebirth above their heads.

"Damn it, nowadays the cultivators are not afraid of death. There are so many of them even in the depths of the white fog." Dongfang Yao cursed angrily. Before he finished speaking, he saw a Samantabhadra True Boat whizzing past him.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? With the Lord of Rebirth here, everyone can be resurrected. Why should we be afraid of death? At most, in eighteen years, we will be a hero again!" Huangfu Song sneered.

"I don't believe in the so-called Palace of Rebirth. There must be something strange here. Think about it, what do you mean by a little spirit that preserves memories? Even if you are resurrected and merge with others, will you still be you? Even if you have a body prepared in advance and achieve the so-called resurrection. But I was indeed dead at that time. The one who was reborn is just another person who has the same memories as me!" Dongfang Yao said with a serious face.

"Brothers, you must not be deceived by it. You must be careful and cherish your lives!" he advised.

"Dongfang, when did your brain become so smart? What you said seems to make some sense." Huangfu Song frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

Li Fan listened to the argument between the two, but he was thinking about something else in his mind.

"In the previous life, this Heavenly Lord of Rebirth never appeared in the world, let alone this Palace of Rebirth."

"The reversed principles of heaven and earth should have become the natural laws of the world, just like the [Wuyou Tianzun], which blends in naturally and appears natural."

"Now, the principle of reversing life and death requires the help of the Palace of Rebirth. Does this mean that this Heavenly Venerable of Rebirth has not actually reached the most perfect ideal state?"

"It was just a hasty and helpless move under the influence of Lan Yu."
