Chapter 406: Outside Reincarnation, Transcending Reincarnation
The other people in the plaza were also immersed in the Art of Reincarnation, so no one saw that Yu Zhao’s eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

Her gaze was bright and dazzling, yet filled with an unknown color. With one extra look, it felt as if one’s very soul would be pulled into them.

At this moment, although Yu Zhao had already returned to the Dao Field, her mind was still staying in that starry sky world.

She was still digesting everything she had just gone through.

The Art of Reincarnation had let her experience not only the Path of Reincarnation, but had also given her a new insight into the Ruthless Dao.

Heaven and earth are not kind; they treat all living things like straw dogs.

The Ruthless Dao looked merciless on the surface, but in truth it did not cling to personal feelings. It looked at life and death from the view of heaven and earth, letting things follow their course and treating all beings as equal.

It was just like when she had been parasitic on that planet. When she did not show herself, it was for cultivation. When she did show herself, it was also for cultivation.

The Way of Ruthlessness was also called the Way of Heart Cultivation.

It complemented the Way of Reincarnation.

When Yu Zhao focused her mind, the Mirror of Fleeting Lives floated out of her Storage Space on its own.

Her hands moved quickly, forming one spell seal after another as if they came naturally, and she pressed each seal into the Mirror of Fleeting Lives.

The Mirror of Fleeting Lives spun quickly in the air. Its two faces, one black and one white, rolled like raging waves.

Two different auras flowed out from the mirror in turn.

Scenes of her death in her previous life sometimes flashed through Yu Zhao’s mind. At other times, the image of Shui Qing Yue sending the last trace of life force into her body appeared before her eyes.

Before long, two long dragon like streams of mist, one black and one white, formed outside her body and coiled around her.

On the high platform, the Grand Adept whose face had been hidden suddenly had the golden light before her eyes scatter. Her once empty eyes lit up, and her stern, rigid face came to life.

She sat on the platform and looked down. At a glance, she saw Yu Zhao wrapped in life and death energy, and a joyful smile rose on her face.

She said in surprise: “I did not expect to see such an amazingly gifted genius in a Small World that is about to be abandoned, and she is even cultivating the two hardest heavenly intents to understand, the Ruthless Dao and the Path of Reincarnation.”

She looked more closely and felt even happier.

She said with delight: “Hm? She even has the Purest Water Spiritual Root! That matches my own spiritual root perfectly!”

The more she looked at Yu Zhao, the more satisfied she felt.

At first, she had not cared much about this Small World’s Dao Field, so she had only sent a strand of her soul with no consciousness to preach the Dao here, and had even taught the extremely hard to understand Way of Reincarnation. She never thought she would really run into such a good seedling.

She smiled and said: “This must be because that Old Thief Nan Zhu has become too arrogant. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot stand it and specially sent me a good disciple!”

She sighed softly and said: “What a pity she has been delayed by this Small World. Otherwise, with her potential, she should have at least reached Divine Transformation by now.”

Then she added, pleased: “But it is still not too late. I will take her back to the Bei Ming Realm and train her well. Within a hundred years she will surely outshine that brat.”

Dao Lord Tai Wei’s face was full of smiles. The way she looked at Yu Zhao was like she was looking at a priceless treasure.

Yu Zhao felt a chill run through her body. She shivered, and her brows and eyes twitched uneasily.

Dao Lord Tai Wei saw that her gaze was already disturbing Yu Zhao’s Dao Comprehension, so she quickly pulled it back and then casually swept her eyes over the field.

When her gaze passed by Ye Cong Xin, she paused. After she looked away, she could not help glancing back at Ye Cong Xin again, feeling a rare bit of curiosity.

She had set up this Small World’s Dao Field after she happened to travel here long ago.

Back then, she had picked a few disciples with outstanding talent here. She felt this place was blessed and could be used as a place to select disciples for her sect, so she left a mark and opened a Dao Field.

To select the best candidates, she had set many requirements. Every cultivator who could enter the Dao Field was one of the top figures of this Small World.

Later, however, the Dao Field opened less and less often, and the gaps between openings grew longer and longer. It had already been more than a thousand years since a new disciple from this Small World had appeared, so she gradually forgot about it.

But no matter how much time passed, her memory never faded.

So she clearly remembered the thresholds she had set.

By rights, Ye Cong Xin should not have appeared here.

Ye Cong Xin’s physical condition and natural bone structure did not meet her selection rules.

Yet Ye Cong Xin was openly sitting here, and was even sitting on the second meditation cushion.

Dao Lord Tai Wei found this unbelievable and was sure there had to be some hidden reason.

She swept over with her Divine Sense but found nothing strange.

She began to hesitate.

This Small World could not bear her true body, so she had only sent a fragment of her soul, with her cultivation level limited to the Mid Divine Transformation Stage.

If she wanted to learn this girl’s secret, she would have to use the power of her true body, which could very likely cause the space to tremble and bring unknown effects to the Dao Field.

Dao Lord Tai Wei thought for a while and then gave up on this idea.

Too many people in the world had secrets. She could never finish checking them all.

Only cultivators with truly amazing talent could really interest her.

There was no need to stir up trouble over someone unrelated.

A few more days passed. Dao Lord Tai Wei checked the progress of the others again and could not help shaking her head.

These people were top geniuses in this Small World, but in the Bei Ming Realm, where Nascent Soul cultivators were everywhere and Golden Core cultivators were as common as dogs, they were only of average level. They could at most join some small or medium sects and could not catch her eye.

Dao Lord Tai Wei was not too disappointed.

After all, she had already guessed things would be like this before she came.

Her good disciple was an unexpected joy.

The Art of Reincarnation was indeed too profound for the others.

She thought to herself that if they still could not wake up after her good disciple finished, she would give them a chance so they could at least keep their lives and not die from being drained by the spell.

Dao Lord Tai Wei was already prepared to stop the Art of Reincarnation at any time when she suddenly noticed a struggling look appear on someone’s face. There were signs of waking up.

She immediately looked over, one brow lifting.

It was another person she had not expected.

No, not just one.

There were four.

This time she watched them especially closely.

Only after several hours passed did she finally find the reason.

She murmured in surprise: “No wonder the Art of Reincarnation did not affect them as deeply as the others. It turns out these four are people Outside Reincarnation. That is rare.”

Even in the Bei Ming Realm, Dao Lord Tai Wei had never seen this kind of situation. A strange light flashed in her eyes.

The highest realm one could reach after fully mastering the Path of Reincarnation was Transcending Reincarnation, becoming an undying, indestructible existence in the universe.

But reaching that point was far, far too hard.

Even she, as a Realm Lord, had only half stepped out of the Cycle of Reincarnation and still could not truly escape its control.

But the situation of these four was very special. They seemed like they had Transcended Reincarnation, yet also like they were Outside Reincarnation.

A thought faintly rose in Dao Lord Tai Wei’s heart.

If she could discover the secret behind these four being Outside Reincarnation, would she be able to fully understand the Path of Reincarnation?

She had to take her beloved disciple to the Bei Ming Realm anyway, so why not bring these four along as well? Even if it did not work out, she would lose nothing.

The corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile.

This trip to the Small World had really gone far beyond her expectations.

It seemed she should set up more Dao Fields in Small Worlds in the future. She might be surprised again.
