Chapter 206 Saving Fu Tu
The princess's mansion was shrouded in black mist.
Elder Gua arrived in haste with several trusted disciples.
Upon seeing the illusory figure of Fu Tu close its eyes, its aura was scattered and chaotic, unable to coalesce at all.
His eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly took a step forward.
"This child..."
Fu Tu has always been the most promising disciple of the Gua Sect. Even after being a vengeful ghost for a thousand years, he is still the most accomplished.
He injured himself to this extent in order to avenge the Guamen sect.
Qingbao frowned and asked, "Is there any hope for him, Xiao Gua?"
The divination elder stared blankly around.
Who is Xiao Gua?
Qingbao raised her round little face and stared at him with her big, expectant eyes.
The divination elder pointed to himself: "Me?"
"Hmm, this overlord is asking you a question." The little voice was crisp and sweet, yet incredibly domineering.
The divination elder sighed. Oh well, she's a judge, call her whatever you want.
"Fu Tu's soul is incomplete, yet he still forced himself to use all his cultivation to fight them. His body is riddled with holes, burned by spiritual energy; I'm afraid..."
It seems we are in imminent danger.
"Your Honor, let him enter the cycle of reincarnation. Only then will he have a chance to live."
Even if one's soul is incomplete after reincarnation, there is still a body to support one's survival.
He preserved his memories and cultivation, and could use those decades as a mortal to diligently cultivate and gradually rebuild himself.
In his current state, he probably doesn't even have the power to condense his soul.
It's like a few fragments of a remnant soul; once they dissipate, there's nothing left.
Qingbao was stunned.
"However, entering the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld means having your memories and cultivation erased, and starting all over again."
The cycle of reincarnation in the underworld is too formal, unlike the cycle of reincarnation in the cultivation world, where memories and cultivation levels can be preserved, and one can be reborn as familiar friends and relatives.
Once he has passed through the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, Fu Tu will completely disappear from the world.
The fragmented soul will reincarnate him as a sickly person who probably won't live for many years.
The little guy was a bit reluctant.
"He finally found my mother, but the two of them hadn't even really reunited more than a few times."
In retrospect, Fu Tu only met his junior sister once, on the night Qing Xuan set fire to the city, when Si He broke through to the Void Realm.
Their thousand-year-long friendship was forged in just one meeting.
Many things are still unclear, so is Fu Tu going to disappear like this?
How heartbroken must my mother be?
Qingbao also felt a little reluctant to part with him.
"Can I use the Reincarnation Path I obtained from the cultivation world to allow him to retain his memories and cultivation level before being reincarnated?"
Fu Tu was injured while ensuring her safe return.
So using the cycle of reincarnation to save Fu Tu once would even things out.
The divination elder's face was full of complex emotions.
"Under Yi Xuan's control, that path of reincarnation only guides cultivators. Even if it could guide vengeful ghosts, once you take it down, it loses Yi Xuan's control and becomes nothing more than a wisp of energy separated from the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld."
Without Yi Xuan's help, it's useless.
But Yi Xuan wanted nothing more than to kill them all, so how could he possibly help them bring Fu Tu back?
Qingbao immediately wilted.
"I will not give up on saving Fu Tu. I will go to the underworld."
She also suffered considerable losses in this battle.
Although the purpose of reclaiming the cycle of reincarnation is for the sake of all living beings, Qingbao is unwilling to let her friends and family die for the sake of all living beings.
Elder Gua nodded, "Yes, we brought a lot of resentment from the River of Oblivion, which should be enough to keep Fu Tu from disappearing for three days..."
"Judge, you should come back as soon as possible."

The underworld.
Yama and Qingbao, one big and one small, stood before the altar, their shadows elongated by the light before them.
"Qingbao, your divine power has reached the third level."
She led her men to kill Qingxuan, retrieved the cycle of reincarnation from the underworld, and possessed great love in her heart.
This incident was perilous, but it can illuminate the third level of divine power. Killing Qingxuan and obtaining the path of reincarnation are two things that cannot be done without.
There wasn't a trace of a smile on Qingbao's face.
"Xiao Yan, my friend paid a heavy price in this battle, and I want to save him."
She summoned the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen.
While she was imprisoned in the Heavenly Manifestation Dungeon, they also used methods to force her to hand over the Cycle of Reincarnation.
However, the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen are inside Qingbao's body and will only come out when Qingbao summons them.
So they planned to wait for the formation within Tang Chen's body to dissipate, then kill Qing Bao to take the Book of Life and Death, and once again use this divine object for the cultivation world.
The price Qingbao paid to retrieve this cycle of reincarnation was far too heavy.
To everyone's surprise, Yama chuckled and said, "Oh dear, Fu Tu is just going through the cycle of reincarnation. Does that mean only Yi Xuan can manipulate this dark path of reincarnation?"
These words were spoken.
Qingbao looked up at him, her eyes lighting up.
"Oh right, you're the King of Hell. This cycle of reincarnation is ultimately under your control. Whether it can be used or not is just a matter of your word."
The King of Hell nodded, his voice even tightening.
"Yes, yes, that's how it is. Baby is so smart. Release this cycle of reincarnation. I will reincarnate Fu Tu first, and then merge the cycle of reincarnation back into its original place."
A hint of relief finally appeared on Qingbao's face.
She couldn't wait to manipulate the Book of Life and Death, slowly releasing the Cycle of Reincarnation that she had retrieved from the Forbidden Land of Heavenly Manifestation.
Wisps of energy, mixed with immortal magic, gradually coalesced in front of the two.
The King of Hell possesses divine power.
Slowly peel away the immortal magic from that wisp of aura.
After all, the cycle of reincarnation has been manipulated in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, so it's normal for some immortal techniques to have seeped into it.
If it's not separated out, there will likely be endless troubles later.
Qingbao quietly held up the Book of Life and Death, watching Yama operate it.
Her idea was that once this cycle of reincarnation was completed, Yama could manipulate it to help Futu enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Time passed little by little.
Inside the princess's residence, Si He also woke up.
"The imperial physician said you've just overdrawn your physical strength and energy; with more rest, you'll be fine." Xia Jingheng stayed by her side the whole time.
Si He's head was throbbing with pain. "I think I've remembered something. Oh, right, where is Lord Fu Tu? I need to go see him."
Even though she is Si He now, the moment her consciousness awakened, she had another concern in her heart.
No, it's not just about being concerned.
Her senior brother was her life.
"He was injured and unconscious, and hasn't woken up yet." Xia Jingheng sat beside Si He, his eyes slightly lowered.
He slowly handed over the medicine spoon, and the brown medicine sloshed in the white spoon.
"Take your medicine first, and then I'll take you to see him."
Si He picked up the bowl, frowned, and finished the bowl of medicine in one go.
Her little face contorted in pain, which was quite adorable.
Xia Jingheng's gaze was deep as he patted her back. "Let's go."
*
The underworld.
After stripping away the magic, Yama slowly withdrew his hand, his expression one of relief.
Qingbao jumped off the table. "Great! I'll go and bring Futu down right now."
Fu Tu is saved!
"etc!"
Suddenly, Yama's expression froze.
The next moment!
Snap—
The aura of the cycle of reincarnation before her suddenly shattered, falling bit by bit to Qingbao's feet.
Qingbao's eyes widened, and she spoke in a trembling voice, "What... what's going on?"
She squatted on the ground, reaching out her little hands to grab the pieces.
But they all turned into breath and slipped away through my fingers.
Nothing was left.
In the eyes of Yama, a rare rage burned:
"We've been tricked by Yi Xuan! The Reincarnation Path you brought back was a forgery by him!!"
