Book 7 Chapter 16 The Six Paths of Reincarnation

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

While Bai Li was comprehending, Bai Qiuran took Jiang Lan and went around a few times in this new Underworld.

According to the Underworld described by Xue Ling, Bai Qiuran set up another eighteen nesting spaces in this world as the prototype of the eighteen layers of hell in the future.

But now, it was still empty.

Bai Qiuran was going to hand it over to the ghosts and immortals to decide how to develop and plan this eighteen-layered hell.

However, Bai Qiuran still gave Jiang Lan some basic ideas about the six paths of reincarnation and the eighteen layers of hell.

When the two of them returned, they found that Bai Li had realized the cultivation method of ghosts and immortals in the first few levels. He was sitting in the open space, surrounded by a group of human ghosts, listening to him.

The method described by Bai Li was to teach ghosts how to condense their own spiritual body first. As ghosts did not have a physical body, naturally, they could not absorb the aura of heaven and earth like normal humans, operate in the meridians, store in the sea of ​​qi, and become stronger step by step. Therefore, the first step was to make a body capable of cultivation.

Bai Qiuran also listened for a while, and then silently deduced it in his heart, and found that there was nothing wrong with this method of cultivation. The only flaw may be the same as the method Li used to cultivate himself. It was well-regulated and had neither characteristics nor flaws.

He nodded, it was enough for the ghosts in the beginning.

“I will stop here for now.”

Bai Li’s preaching came to an end, he said to the ghosts:

“I will tell you the rest after I figure it out, but you can also think about it.”

The ghosts dispersed after hearing the words, found a secluded place everywhere in this ghost domain, and began practicing according to the method taught by Bai Li, and Bai Qiuran walked over with Jiang Lan.

“Are you finished?”

“Master.”

Seeing Bai Qiuran, Bai Li immediately became an honest apprentice, and he saluted Bai Qiuran:

“Is there a problem with my speech?”

“No problem, you said it very well.”

Bai Qiuran nodded and said:

“Although I’m your Master, what I said is not necessarily correct. There will be some things in the future that you have to think about and create yourself… Let’s go, we still have things to do.”

He took Bai Li, the monkey, and Jiang Lan to the deepest part of the Underworld. Here, the road was divided into six parts, and at the end of each share, there was a bottomless pit.

This was also the environment he let Heaven deliberately shape.

“Look carefully.”

Bai Qiuran took two steps, came to the place where the road was forked and began to cast spells.

The system of six paths of reincarnation was successfully created by him when he deduced the Samsara stage, but from the perspective of Bai Qiuran’s somewhat obsessive-compulsive personality, there were still many aspects of this system that could be perfected.

On the stone slab that records the realm, he had perfected the system of six paths of reincarnation in many aspects, but here, he only planned to establish a reincarnation system with basic functions.

The vastness of this project determined that it certainly would not be able to be established in a short time. The system of six paths of reincarnation of later generations may be a system that has been perfected step by step after tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, Bai Qiuran never thought about ignoring the creativity of other people. In a long period of time, the human race would give birth to countless talented people. The creativity of these people may not be worse than that of Bai Qiuran.

Therefore, he only left the seeds here, as for the power of nurturing, he left it to the ghosts afterward.

Along with Bai Qiuran’s spell, new rules followed the system he created. Heaven instinctively began to brew terrible thunderclouds, gathering on Bai Qiuran’s head. The brilliance of the sky let all ghosts in the Underworld feel terrified and uneasy.

The mighty thunder and lightning fell on Bai Qiuran’s head, but he didn’t respond, just standing in place to cast spells on his own, allowing the thunder of heaven to permeate in his forehead.

In the void, brand-new rules gradually took shape, turning into golden silk threads, drawing mysterious words in mid-air, which made Jiang Lan, Bai Li, and the monkey fascinated.

After a while, perhaps seeing Bai Qiuran’s unmoving appearance, Heaven took the thunder tribulation somewhat angrily. Before the thundercloud dissipated, Bai Qiuran went over to “pluck feathers from a flying bird” (1), reached out to grab a few bolts of lightning from the sky, enclosed in the small space he freely created.

Then, he continued to manipulate the runes, and there were more and more golden threads in the sky, gradually connecting them into a net. One end of them was submerged in the void, and the other end was connected to the six large pits on the ground.

After the golden light entered, the nature of these large pits gradually changed. From a pure natural landscape, it quickly became a “passageway” to somewhere.

The golden light sank into the void, and Bai Qiuran’s spell was coming to an end. At this time, according to the previously discussed result, Heaven also brought all the life and death lifespan rules of all the things on the earth between heaven and earth into this world.

Heaven’s Will told Bai Qiuran to find a carrier for its rules.

But Bai Qiuran had prepared well, and immediately took out a large book with a blue cover from his storage bag.

Heaven gathered the rules on it, and soon, the life span and death method of all mortals were displayed in this big book.

Bai Qiuran opened the book and found that the first page of the human race was his name, which greatly indicated that his lifespan was minus two thousand nine hundred years.

It was not surprising that Heaven knew his lifespan. For Heaven, the whole timeline maybe a video. Naturally, it could see the time period when Bai Qiuranwais was born in the future.

Even in the place where Bai Qiuran appeared, Heaven could not observe it, but at least it could detect his birth with the beginning of the mosaic, and then calculated according to the standard life span of a cultivator Qi Refining stage. But in the “method of death” column, it was left blank.

It seemed that Heaven didn’t know how to kill him.

“This is too vengeful.”

Bai Qiuran shook his head, unconcernedly revealed his own page, checked it carefully, and then closed the book.

He wrote “Book of Life and Death” with big characters on the cover, and then led the crowd back to the Underworld, summoning all the ghosts.

“My fellow citizens.”

He announced to the ghosts:

“The six paths of reincarnation have been completed. You can choose to rebirth and be human again, but there is a risk of losing the memory of this life. Does any of you want to rebirth?”

The ghosts looked at each other, and then dozens of ghosts came out. Although the unfettered taste after becoming ghosts made them feel very good, after all, they didn’t have bodies and many things that needed the body to enjoy, such as eating and drinking.

Bai Qiuran asked the dozens of ghosts who had decided to rebirth to stand aside and then gathered the remaining ghosts.

“Since it has been decided to stay here, in the future, this world will be managed by everyone.”

Bai Qiuran said to them:

“This world, as you can see, is the world where all the dead in heaven and earth stayed after their death. If you want to stay here, you have to assume the responsibility of managing reincarnation. I will tell you some basic things now.”

He briefly talked about the management of the Underworld, and then handed over a prepared management manual to the group of ghosts, which was temporarily managed by Bai Li’s wife.

Then, he refined a batch of standard magic weapons for these ghosts according to the ghost difference standard configuration used by Xue Ling in his impression.

Clappers, paper lanterns, chains… Spending a long time “playing” with the ghosts in the Underworld, he is worse than many ghosts and understands the characteristics of their magic weapons.

After all, Bai Qiuran was the man who used his body and soul to carry these magic weapons’ attacks.

After the refining was completed, Bai Qiuran gave these magic weapons, plus the Book of Life and Death to the original ghosts, and let them be responsible for managing and protecting this new reincarnation system.
