Chapter 2422: Reincarnation
“Greetings to the star lord…”
“Greetings to the star lord…”
The arrival of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord caused all the peak experts there to clasp their fists and greet him. All of them showed respect.
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was an existence only second to Grand Primes. He had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime many years ago and stood at the same level as the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, Yi Xin.
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord hovered in the sky. He looked around before gazing at where the Elder of Mountains and Seas died. His gaze immediately deepened, and the laws of the world wove into it. He peered into what happened there.
However, the next moment, he frowned. The laws there had been reconstructed, removing all traces and heavenly secrets. Even with his level of cultivation, he was unable to find anything.
“Which expert came to my Star Brilliance Plane? From the changes to the laws earlier, their cultivation is the same as mine at the very least.”
“There are only so many people with the same cultivation as me in the current Saints’ World. Who is it?” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord’s face became rather ugly.
The Star Brilliance Plane was his territory. Now that a foreign peak expert had killed someone on here, it was basically naked provocation.
He did not forbid fighting between Grand Primes, but if an expert at the same level as him had come to cause trouble, he needed to stand forward.
At this moment, the sky of the Star Brilliance Plane suddenly became blood-red. A figure condensed from blood appeared before the Nine Brilliance Star Lord silently.
“Master!”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was surprised by the blood-red figure. He immediately bowed politely.
The blood-red figure was the Bloodtear Grand Exalt!
Not only did the advent of a Grand Exalt surprise the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, but all the peak experts below him also paled in fright and immediately bowed.
All of them were left shocked and speechless. Did the Bloodtear Grand Exalt personally come to the Star Brilliance Plane over the tiny matter that happened earlier?
What did it mean since it could draw out a Grand Exalt?
It meant that what happened earlier was nowhere near as simple as it seemed.
“Begone,” said the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. His voice was filled with energy, and he ordered everyone to leave.
Every single word and action from a Grand Exalt was equivalent to an edict from the world. No one dared to defy it. Immediately, all the peak experts gathered there left.
“Master, why have you come?”
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord stood before the Bloodtear Grand Exalt and asked politely after everyone had left.
“Anatta’s reincarnation was killed in your territory. I obviously came to check it out,” said the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. A dense, bloody mist gathered around him, completely obscuring his figure.
“What? Anatta’s reincarnation?” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord gasped. His face became filled with disbelief. “Master, are you saying that in the war over three million years ago, the Anatta Grand Exalt didn’t die and instead reincarnated through samsara?”
The Bloodtear Grand Exalt nodded. In the past, he also believed that the Anatta Grand Exalt had died and vanished from the world, but ever since he saw Anatta’s reincarnation on the Desolate Plane, he knew the Anatta Exalt Prime had not died as rumoured.
Receiving confirmation from the Bloodtear Grand Exalt, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord became solemn. He knew a little about samsara and reincarnation. Reincarnation bore extremely great risks to any expert, including Grand Exalts.
Once a Grand Exalt reincarnated, they would lose all their memories and cultivation. They would return to being mortals and would have to cultivate their way back up step by step. It would be impossible for them to awaken their past memories before they reached a certain level of cultivation.
The path of cultivation was littered with danger. Even if it were the reincarnation of a Grand Exalt, they would truly disappear from the world if they were slain and their souls were dispersed.
And that was why the Nine Brilliance Star Lord seemed so troubled when he learnt that the Anatta Exalt Prime’s reincarnation had been killed. He believed that with the death of Anatta’s reincarnation, it would mean that the Anatta Exalt Prime was truly dead.
Perhaps he was able to see the Nine Brilliance Star Lord’s worries, so the Bloodtear Grand Exalt continued, “You don’t need to worry. Anatta’s soul has already returned to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. She sealed up the past memories and only kept a soul with the current memories in her reincarnation. As a result, Anatta actually wanted her death to happen.”
“Master, I am very confused. Why did the Anatta Grand Exalt want her reincarnation to die?” asked the Nine Brilliance Star Lord.
“Anatta’s reincarnation was only a tool for Anatta to comprehend the ways. Her reincarnation always accompanied a young man because she wanted her reincarnation to fall in love with the young man. She wanted to create a fruit of ways to assist her in comprehending her fifth way—the Way of Love.”
“I paid some attention to the young man as well. He is the one who created quite a disturbance in the Saints’ World recently. He is the one who ran around everywhere with the Anatta Tower, Jian Chen,” said the Bloodtear Grand Exalt.
“What? The Anatta Grand Exalt’s reincarnation was for comprehending the Way of Love through Jian Chen?” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was utterly stunned. This event basically meant that a sovereign of the Saints’ World had fallen in love with someone insignificant in the Saints’ World.
This was an utter joke.
The Bloodtear Grand Exalt continued, “Now that Anatta has abandoned her reincarnation, it seems like the fruit of ways for her to comprehend her fifth way is about to ripen. It’s just that there was no need for her to abandon her reincarnation to harvest the fruit of ways, so why did she do that? Refining a clone from a reincarnation gives them unlimited space for growth. The clone might become a Grand Exalt as well. Wouldn’t that be even better?”
“Perhaps Anatta is already under the influence of her reincarnation and wants to leave behind a deep impression in the heart of that young man called Jian Chen?”
The Bloodtear Grand Exalt was perplexed by this at all. The matter related to a Grand Exalt, an existence on the same level as him. Moreover, the Grand Exalt in question was even more powerful than him, so there was nothing he could peer into at all. He could only guess.
The Nine Brilliance Star Lord fell silent. What he learnt from the Bloodtear Grand Exalt was just too shocking. He needed to digest it properly.
At this moment, a Space Ring appeared in the hand of the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. He passed it to the Nine Brilliance Star Lord and said, “This is a chaotic fruit of ways I found in chaos. Immediately take this chaotic fruit of ways to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng and pass it to Anatta for me.”
“In the past, I thought Anatta was dead, so I collected a droplet of her essence blood to nourish Gusta’s body. I wanted to refine his body into a battle slave for the war against the Immortals’ World in the future. In the end, Anatta discovered this, which entangled my karma with her. Now, I’ll use this chaotic fruit of ways to end this karma.”
“Yes, master!” The Nine Brilliance Star Lord accept the Space Ring and immediately departed.
