Chapter 392: 214, 215. Reaping great rewards, Zhan’s death is a loss, fighting to return to heaven (Big Chapter - Subscribe)_4

The room was tightly locked, making it impossible to enter.

The two of them had no choice but to return.

Lian Chanxi pondered the "Dual Cultivation Technique," but clearly... the two of them couldn’t engage in dual cultivation temporarily and could only be "Taoist companions in name" for now.

Song Cheng thought for a moment, then broke the silence, "Sister Lian, since my Entry-Level ceremony requires three months, I plan to return to the Human World first to handle some worldly affairs."

Lian Chanxi replied, "That’s fine, but let’s wait for Aunt to come back and tell her about it."

When Song Cheng saw her agree with the words "that’s fine," but noted a strange expression on her face, and thinking back to the anger she had shown when she just came out of the main hall of the Mysterious Clear Palace, he asked, "Sister Lian, what exactly happened?

Is it... related to She Yitu?"

Lian Chanxi said angrily, "It’s him."

"What’s wrong? Look, you’re so upset," Song Cheng moved closer, asking with a smile.

Lian Chanxi huffed, propped her chin, and tilted her chin slightly, "Both you and I have found Mourning Beasts in his territory, this must be due to contamination by Mourning Spirits, or even completely turning into a Mourning Spirit.

I brought him back, hoping the sect would quickly send him into reincarnation, lest he truly transforms into a Mourning Spirit."

But then... someone disagreed!"

"Why?"

"They say that once one enters reincarnation, there is no more opportunity to cultivate. But who can accept that?

Since Mourning Spirits are mandated by heaven and earth, they can live for an unknown amount of time....

So, why not explore the possibility of transforming into a Mourning Spirit?"

The more Lian Chanxi spoke, the angrier she became, and then she said, "Mingling with Zhan creates the Master of Mountains and Rivers; mostly those whose fusion with Zhan was successful. Those Zhan originally come from ghosts, and ghosts arise from Yin Qi, so now they want to return to the embrace of Yin Qi."

"Mourning, what is it really?"

"It’s the deceased Master of Mountains and Rivers.

If the initial fusion fails, it’s like dying in the womb.

If they die when their time is up, it’s like normal humans dying of old age."

Song Cheng’s expression grew solemn, "So, a human dies and becomes a ghost, a ghost dies and becomes Zhan, and Zhan dies... as Mourning?"

Lian Chanxi said, "You could say that, because currently you and I are actually Zhan.

Zhan possess consciousness and lifespan, unlike ghosts and Mourning Spirits."

At least, that’s what everyone thinks.

But now, there are those who believe perhaps... some think Mourning Spirits are like ghosts, another path for enhancing their Realm. Sending a Master of Mountains and Rivers whose time has come into reincarnation is akin to cutting off their path."

Therefore, they now argue against sending them to reincarnation and suggest letting nature take its course.

But that simply won’t do."

Mourning Spirits are different... the Mourning Spirits that transform from the old age death of a Master of Mountains and Rivers are much stronger than those that die in the womb.

The ones that die in the womb are called small Mourning Spirits, which wander aimlessly around mourning lands and are our main eradication targets.

The old ones, or small Mourning Spirits that have lasted a very long time, are called Great Mourning Spirits."

Aunt said, these Great Mourning Spirits can enter the Taiyin Illusory Sea and cause the waves there, hence the Ghost Tide exists in the world, and the increase in Ghost Tides would lead the entire world towards destruction."

"The Taiyin Illusory Sea?"

"Aunt mentioned it’s the ocean of Yin Qi within the Yin-Yang Illusion Realm. The stirring of the Taiyin Illusory Sea brings about drastic changes in the world, and under no circumstances can we allow the number of Great Mourning Spirits to increase. Song, do you understand the severity of the issue now?" Lian Chanxi said angrily, "These people simply refuse to accept the fact that their time has come and pin their hopes on Mourning Spirits."

Now, they’ve even developed a rationale."

They say, the Master of Mountains and Rivers is about forcefully seizing power from heaven and being obstinate;

Whereas Mourning Spirits are about returning the body to heaven, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man.

True Spirit is one path, and Mourning Spirits should also be considered a path."

Song Cheng nodded without saying anything.

This isn’t about good or evil, it’s simply because nobody wants "ten thousand years of cultivation to go down the drain."

He understood this point, so he also knew those people, if given even a slim hope, did not want their existence to completely vanish.

Thus, how to handle She Yitu has become the most fiercely debated issue.

Suddenly, he remembered the "Big Brother" he had seen previously in the courtyard...

Silver hair, obsessed with martial arts, his time coming to an end... the first time he met him, his approval was only "50."

At the time, he wondered where he had offended Big Brother, but now it seems it wasn’t that he had offended him, but that "Big Brother found it displeasing to see such a young Master of Mountains and Rivers."

’It seems, the Mysterious Clear Palace is not a place of tranquility either.’ Song Cheng’s expression shifted...

...

...

After a long time, the Taoist couple once again came to Jing Shifei’s courtyard.

The short-haired beautiful woman sat in the courtyard with a somewhat icy expression, unclear what she had just gone through or what she was thinking, but her face brightened up a bit upon seeing Lian Chanxi, and her anger seemed to dissipate, revealing an air of refreshed clear skies.

"Chanxi, Song, why are you here now?"

Lian Chanxi said, "Aunt, dual cultivation is really hard."

The short-haired beautiful woman laughed, "Of course it’s difficult if you want to use the Dual Cultivation Technique, but isn’t it also fine to just have a partner?"

Lian Chanxi sighed, "Anyway, I plan to learn it."

She was determined that dual cultivation could entirely be initiated by her.

She could lead Song, and it would work just the same.

Song just had to passively accept it.

Jing Shifei laughed, "It’s not that easy, nor is it necessary; you should rather learn the ’Water Healing Technique’ and ’Ice Seal Technique.’ Song should do the same; don’t learn the ’Dual Cultivation Technique’ for now."

"Why?" Lian Chanxi was a bit unhappy, "Aunt, I remember you learned it before, with... Prospective Uncle..."

As she spoke, she suddenly halted.

Even having lived for thousands of years, she was unsure if that "Prospective Uncle" was her aunt’s sore spot.

Although she had never met that "Prospective Uncle," she had heard her aunt mention him many times.

Jing Shifei’s smile slightly faded, showing a hint of remembrance, then she quickly composed herself and said, "It’s nothing, Big Brother Shi has been missing for over four thousand years now, he must no longer be here, probably..."
