Chapter Ninety-Two: Lu Qingheng
This is the heart of a cultivation city in the Void Realm, a place of great prosperity and bustle. The city is called Xiufang City. Over a hundred years ago, Han Wei bought a cave dwelling here and has been cultivating ever since.
Back in her cave, Han Wei sat by the window, gazing out at the pear blossoms like snow. A gentle breeze blew, and the glistening pear blossoms swayed softly in the sunlight. Han Wei murmured to the empty space:
"If you are still the same as in your previous life, it's time for you to be reincarnated."
There's a long-held belief about reincarnation: the souls of all the worlds flow through different realms, and once a soul enters the cycle of reincarnation, where and when it will be reborn is something even the gods find difficult to predict.
Han Wei didn't know how Gu Qi died in his previous life. After he died, did he directly enter the cycle of reincarnation and cross time to be reborn as Lu Qingheng, or did he reincarnate as other people before being reborn as Lu Qingheng?
She wasn't even sure if Gu Qi in this life would be reincarnated as Lu Qingheng, but no matter what, she was determined to find him.
Even if she hadn't met Gu Qi in this life, there were still karmic ties between her and Lu Qingheng that needed to be resolved. If this earthly bond couldn't be severed, she feared she wouldn't be able to become an immortal in this life.

Heavenly Court, Jade Purity Palace.
Surrounded by divine light, above a huge lotus pond in the Jade Purity Palace, the Heavenly Emperor, dressed in white, sat beside a jade table, his long silver hair cascading down his back.
The adorable little boy, his chubby hands resting on the jade table, his eyes wide open, asked, "Your Majesty, do you wish to be reincarnated and undergo tribulations again?"
The Heavenly Emperor's golden eyes were cold and stern: "Do you have a problem with that?"
"Of course not," Ling'er said immediately. He was just curious why His Majesty had to reincarnate again, since only a little over a thousand years had passed between the last reincarnation and the present.
The Heavenly Emperor gazed at the blooming lotus flowers in the pond. For over a thousand years, his heart had been restless. He tried his best not to think about Han Wei, not to pay attention to anything concerning her. Even though this woman was dead and gone, the turmoil deep within his heart could not be quelled.
He always thinks of her without hesitation.
So he wants to be reincarnated again, hoping that this time he will meet someone or experience something even more profound, so that he can forget that woman.
Ling'er had more or less guessed what the Heavenly Emperor was thinking. He blinked his beautiful eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of person do you want to be reincarnated as this time?"
The Heavenly Emperor has reincarnated as various beings, including humans, demons, monsters, and beasts, but each incarnation was extraordinary. Gu Qi is the one with the lowest cultivation level.
The Heavenly Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "This time, I want to be an ordinary person, a common mortal." After thinking for a while, he added, "In my previous reincarnations, I never experienced birth, aging, sickness, and death. This time, I want to be a mortal without spiritual roots, a true mortal."
“A true mortal…” Ling’er murmured softly, then smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll find the most suitable place for you now. Does Your Majesty have any other requirements?”
A crystal ball radiating dazzling light appeared in Ling'er's hand. This crystal ball was larger than her head and contained countless stars. Each star was unpredictable and seemed to contain all the stars of the myriad worlds.
The Heavenly Emperor picked up a jade-colored teacup and said to Ling'er, "Let's find an interface with scarce spiritual energy."
"Hmm, the spiritual energy is thin, but the scenery is nice, and it would be best if there are lots of good places to eat. Let me take a look, let me take a look, this is the one."
"The Realm of Orchid Sorrow!!"

Lan Shang Realm: Great Zhou Dynasty
A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the Prince of Yan's residence was brightly lit. Outside the Princess of Yan's courtyard, the young prince paced anxiously. This was the Princess of Yan's first child. The first childbirth is always more difficult, and the Princess of Yan suffered a difficult labor.
The maids carried out basins of bloody water, and the Princess Consort of Yan's screams grew hoarse and shrill, making the Prince of Yan outside want to rush into the delivery room.
Finally, the King of Yan could no longer hold back.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't go in!"
"Your Highness, even if you go in, it won't make a difference, since you don't know any medicine."
“But the Princess Consort…” The Prince of Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
The bright moon in the sky shone with clear light, its radiance seemingly brighter than ever before. Yet, no one noticed. Then, a sacred ray of light, like a shooting star, descended from the sky and fell onto the eaves of the Prince of Yan's mansion, transforming into an adorable calico cat.
The cat, with its fluffy body, looked like a ball when it squatted on the roof. It licked its paws and looked towards the birthing room, which was suddenly filled with a sweet fragrance, followed by the sound of a baby crying.
"It's born! It's born!"
The voices of the midwife and the female doctor, filled with joy, came from inside the delivery room.
The Prince of Yan, who was outside, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the words "She's been born."
Inside the delivery room, Princess Yan, who had just given birth, lay weakly, her face covered in sweat. She said to the female doctor beside her, "Let me...let me see the baby."
The female doctor was holding a child in her arms. The child was exceptionally beautiful. Unlike newborns, whose skin was reddish and wrinkled, this child was unbelievably beautiful. However, the child was very weak. He had only cried a few times and now seemed to have no strength left.
"Your Highness, it's a young prince."
The female physician carried the child to Princess Yan and said softly:
"Your Highness, the young prince is so handsome."
Princess Yan looked at her child, who was as beautiful as a snow-white jade sculpture, and a smile appeared on her frail face.
"Shu'er, Shu'er."
It was at this moment that the Prince of Yan entered. As soon as he came in, he saw the weak Princess of Yan and the child. The female physician brought the child over, and the Prince of Yan took his son and carefully held him in his arms. The little guy fell asleep in his arms. He was so beautiful; he was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen.
He looked at the child, and his heart felt like it was melting.
"Shu'er, look how beautiful our child is!" Prince Yan said to Princess Yan while holding the child. At this moment, he did not notice that the child was weak after birth. The female physician and others did not dare to mention this matter at this time, lest they dampen the joy of Prince Yan who was immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
"Shu'er, look how much he looks like you," the Prince of Yan said with a smile.
In truth, how could one tell who a newborn child resembled? It's just that in his heart, the most beautiful woman in the world was his queen, and since the child was so beautiful, he must have looked like her.
"Yes, Your Highness, what's the name? Have you decided yet?" the princess asked.
The name was something the Prince of Yan had been thinking about since his wife was pregnant; he had considered many names.
“Let him be called Qingheng, Lu Qingheng,” said the Prince of Yan.
The baby in the swaddling clothes stretched out his little arms and legs, and opened his eyes. His light golden eyes were as clear as two gems.
