Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Chapter 955 716: Reincarnated Supreme Expert (Part 2)

This array is called the Heaven-Deceiving Array.

Once this array is set up, it can further confuse the celestial secrets, allowing one to evade certain cultivators' hunts to a certain extent.

The path of cultivating immortality is one of self-empowerment and constant evolution. It is not serene and carefree but filled with deception, intrigue, ruthless battles, and ever-present danger, with the possibility of dying from unforeseen accidents at any moment.

Many low-level cultivators fight to the death over a bit of resource; many friends turn against each other to seize a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Upon reaching the Purple Mansion, one continuously reaps the crops below.

As for the later stages, one tries to monopolize resources and suppress potential enemies, cutting off any chance for them to grow.

On the path of cultivating immortality, celestial tribulations are not frightening, life tribulations can be avoided, but human tribulations are the hardest to cross.

Especially at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, every time a cultivator undergoes a tribulation, formidable enemies attack, to interfere with one's ascension to power and take the opportunity to devour them.

By activating the Heaven-Deceiving Array, it can distort external perception to some extent, slightly increasing the probability of surviving a tribulation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the void rumbled, and endless thunder tribulations swept down.

The green lotus activated its magic, transforming into a stream of light charging upwards.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderbolts flashed, colliding continuously with the green lotus, and both perished together.

Amidst the collision of auras, various laws of the world flowed down, being leafed through, understood, and transforming into personal heritage.

After a long time, the tribulation dispersed, and the green lotus stepped into the second stage of Tribulation Transcendence.

...

Inside the cave mansion, magical power flowed within the two of them, mysteries were exchanged mutually.

After an unknown period, Lu Xuanji opened his eyes.

Ning Xue stood nearby, smiling and saying, "Master, how do you feel!?"

Lu Xuanji said, "Still a little bit short!"

Ning Xue sighed and said, "In normal times, being a little short is nothing, but in a confrontation, it's quite a lot."

Lu Xuanji remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Ning Xue's physique was extremely compatible with him, destined as a Dao companion.

The recent dual cultivation brought him considerable progress, but he was still lacking in the comprehension of mysteries.

At this moment, Lu Xuanji suddenly sensed something, his figure flickering as he moved outside the grotto heaven. Ning Xue followed closely behind, reaching the void outside. The two witnessed an astonishing scene, as a vast celestial tribulation swept down.

Thunder was flashing, and amidst the endless thunder, the green lotus flickered, while demonic qi rose.

After an unknown amount of time, the tribulation dispersed, and finally, a woman appeared.

"Congratulations on reaching the second stage of Tribulation Transcendence!"

Lu Xuanji stepped forward and said.

"Husband, haven't you found the opportunity yet?" the green lotus asked.

Lu Xuanji nodded and said, "Still short of an opportunity... I feel I'm too restless, losing my calmness and composure, making it difficult to comprehend the Dao. I'm planning to stop cultivating for a while and spend some time with you all."

"Priceless treasures are easy to seek, but kindred spirits are hard to find; the future is unpredictable, treasure those who are present!"

With that, he stepped forward, taking Ning Xue's hand in his left and the green lotus's in his right.

Ning Xue blushed, looking at him without rejecting.

The green lotus instinctively struggled but sighed inwardly when she saw his determined gaze.

Lu Xuanji said, "Xi'Er, who knows what the future holds? Can you help me find Ye Wanyi..."

Asking one woman to find another is somewhat of a scoundrel move.

But he still spoke up.

In the past, Ye Wanyi failed to reach Divinity Transformation and directly passed away, becoming a pain in his heart.

Over the years, he's been calculating constantly, searching for Ye Wanyi's reincarnation, but without results.

He could only attribute it to his cultivation being too weak to calculate it.

Jin Xi listened, frowned slightly, but still said, "When mortals die, they disappear completely; dust to dust, earth to earth, there's no concept of reincarnation. Only Nascent Soul cultivators, with their strong divine souls, may have the protection of the Heavenly Dao and possibly reincarnate after their fall, living again!"

"When Ye Wanyi fell, she was already at the peak of Nascent Soul; she should have a reincarnation..."

"Do you have any personal items..."

Lu Xuanji said, "Yes!"

With that, he handed over an incense bag containing Ye Wanyi's long hair.

As the saying goes, husband and wife in union, referring to the time of marriage, when each other's long hair is tied together and placed in an incense bag as a commemoration.

Jin Xi took the incense bag, holding the long hair inside, activating her primordial spirit, and began calculating certain things.

The long hair is the cause, and by following the unseen cause, she calculated the unknown effect. But as she calculated and calculated, she furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and Jin Xi said, "I can't calculate it. In my calculations, after Ye Wanyi's fall, there was no reincarnation; she simply disappeared, as if she never existed and vanished into the void."

"When I tried to continue calculating, I found that some traces had been erased!"

Lu Xuanji asked, "Why is that?"

Jin Xi said, "There are two guesses. The first guess is that a supreme powerhouse directly obscured the cause and effect, so I can't calculate any information about her; the second result is that Ye Wanyi was herself a clone of a supreme powerhouse, who cast a clone into the myriad worlds to experience various lives. After the clone fell, it was retrieved."

"In ancient Daoist books, a secret technique is recorded called Dream Dao. A supreme powerhouse enters a dream, evolving ten thousand clones in it, performing various lives to comprehend the myriad states of human life."

"Perhaps Ye Wanyi was one of the ten thousand clones, just a segment of someone's life. When the dream ends, everything remains, and no one takes what's in the dream as true life!"

Lu Xuanji frowned and said, "How is that possible?"

Jin Xi said, "Nothing is impossible! Many times, we think we understand ourselves, but in fact, we do not at all. We think we are truly living, but we might just be a piece of programming, just data."

"Otherwise, why are you already in the late stage of Harmonization, so powerful, yet unable to calculate a Nascent Soul cultivator's reincarnation body, there's inherently a problem."

"It's just that you refuse to accept all this, continuing to immerse yourself in your fantasies..."

Lu Xuanji was silent.

In a past life, there was the famous electronic double-slit experiment, its pattern visible only when unobserved; when observed, it formed double lines.

In a past life, there was also the movie 'The Truman Show', where the protagonist believed his existence was real, only to find he lived within somebody else's film world.

Many times, what appears real may not be the reality.

What one sees and personally experiences is not necessarily real; various sensations, including hearing, vision, touch, might just be illusions. Even perceptions of the external world, like our thoughts, emotions, feelings, might also be illusions, as there currently isn't any evidence to prove everything as true.

Maybe all of this is just a brain in a vat, or perhaps just a large virtual game.

It was so, even in a past life.

"I see now..." Lu Xuanji said, "Possibly, our world is just a supreme great power's dream, and we are merely dream people."

"Perhaps, we do not live truly; we live falsely. As for me, I haven't traversed to the Purple Mansion World to start a new life, but I'm just playing a large virtual game called 'Purple Mansion World'."

"I've been playing the game, deeply immersed, unable to extricate myself. The boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurring, and I cannot distinguish the real from the false, mistakenly taking the virtual game as having crossed over..."
