The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1660: Chapter 1660: Life Profound Meaning

At this moment, Jing Yan had a very peculiar sense of touch.

Earlier in the dream, he was the person named Ziyi. Now that Jing Yan had left the dream, he still felt quite special, as if he had truly lived Ziyi’s life in the dream.

In front of Jing Yan, a channel filled with black and white light appeared. Jing Yan stood there, gazed for a long time, and then sighed softly.

Jing Yan stepped forward, moving ahead.

The scene before him changed again, and this time, Jing Yan became a bandit named Wang Jie. In this world, Jing Yan was a high-skilled hero. It seemed his whole life was dedicated to one thing, which was robbing the rich to aid the poor. He plundered those unscrupulous rich merchants and killed corrupt officials who regarded human life as cheap. All the wealth he obtained was given to the poor people.

He was wanted by this world’s government.

However, he didn’t care at all and continued to uphold his belief in heroism.

Eventually, he fell into a deadly trap. Although the trap was secretly laid out by the government, it was someone he once helped that led Wang Jie into it.

He wore chains and went to the execution ground, and before his execution, he laughed.

This smile seemed to be the first time in his life he felt relieved, as if the heavy burden on his shoulders could finally be lifted.

Wang Jie died, his head was cut off by the executioner.

Jing Yan returned to reality.

In contemplation, Jing Yan took the third step forward, and the third world dream emerged as expected. In this life, his identity was a beggar, and a kind-hearted one. He once saved a drowning child from a sewer and rescued a stray dog buried in the snow during winter.

The beggar roamed all his life, from one town to another. Crossing mountains and forests, he seemed never to stop his steps.

Eventually, he died of old age during a seemingly endless journey.

Returning from the third world to reality, Jing Yan quickly stepped into the fourth, entering the fourth dream or perhaps the fourth virtualization world.

In this world, Jing Yan’s incarnation was somewhat special; he became a wild beast, a desert wolf leading a pack.

He led the pack in the desert to hunt. For food, they attacked humans, and he was injured by arrows from human hunters, but he survived tenaciously.

Until he gradually aged, stronger wolves in the pack began to challenge his leadership position. The first time, he defeated the challenger. The second time, he defeated the challenger. As he aged, he was challenged more frequently, and finally, one day, he lost; the challenger bit his neck.

The fifth world...

The sixth world...

Jing Yan continued traveling through dream after dream.

His life essence changed quietly. However, at this time, Jing Yan hadn’t noticed the changes happening to him. Dying in one world and returning, he continued into the next.

...

"It seems that Jing Yan has taken the eighth step?"

A being of the Initial Creatures observed the sky, speaking softly.

Below, one could see four figures within the black and white patterns above. Jing Yan was among the four figures.

The four lives that entered the Reincarnation Path have similar experiences; they all enter extremely real worlds, living a lifetime in these virtualized worlds.

But there are differences.

Jing Yan and the other three who entered the Reincarnation Path were in the place known as the Life Profound Meaning.

It looked like a long channel.

The four lives who entered it would gain a deeper understanding and comprehension of the Life and Death Law within this channel of Life Profound Meaning.

However, how much they could grasp depended on their own abilities.

Jing Yan had already reached the eighth step, the significance of which was clear to most Chaos Supremes present. It was quite rare for a life to reach the eighth step in the Life Profound Meaning channel within the Reincarnation Path.

Simply put, the further one steps forward in the Life Profound Meaning channel, the more virtualized worlds they experience, and the deeper they can grasp the Life and Death Laws.

The other three lives who entered the Reincarnation Path with Jing Yan were still behind him. Besides Jing Yan, the one who had taken the most steps was the Ancient Clan being named Guzhen, who had reached the sixth step and was experiencing the sixth virtualized world.

"This Jing Yan indeed possesses an extremely rare cultivation talent within the Chaos universe."

"Yes. Judging by his stance, he seems determined to complete the Life Profound Meaning channel. However, that seems impossible," a powerful being commented intently.

For each cultivator, the Life Profound Meaning channel virtualizes ten worlds.

Yet, it is exceedingly rare to go through all ten worlds.

Generally, a life that can experience seven or eight virtualized worlds is considered quite exceptional.

As for what conditions need to be met to experience all ten virtualized worlds, no life knows to this day. The Initial Creatures present, including those powerful beings, do not know the mysteries within. Even Lady Nu Zhen is not aware of the conditions of the Life Profound Meaning channel.

The last time Lady Nu Zhen opened the Reincarnation Path specifically for Bai Xue, Bai Xue experienced only nine virtualized worlds. Yet, even so, when Bai Xue left the Reincarnation Path, she soon mastered the Life and Death Law to a complete level.

In fact, since Lady Nu Zhen obtained the Reincarnation Path, throughout countless years, only two lives have experienced all ten virtualized worlds, and both have long disappeared, possibly hiding somewhere or leaving this Chaos universe. During their active times, they both reached the High-level Chaotic Supreme level.

In fact, Lan Shang had also entered the Reincarnation Path. Back then, Lan Shang experienced nine virtualized worlds in the Life Profound Meaning channel of the Reincarnation Path. Now Lan Shang is a High-level Chaotic Supreme, standing on par with beings like Lady Nu Zhen, who are Initial Creatures.

Jing Yan returned from the eighth world to reality and then immediately stepped into the ninth.

Within the Reincarnation Path, Jing Yan felt as though he experienced world after world, living long lives in each. But in reality, to the many lives below, it wasn’t like this. For the beings outside, the eight worlds Jing Yan experienced had only taken a little over ten breaths’ time.
