Chapter 411 The True Spirit of the First Cycle of Reincarnation
Li Shuang didn't know, but there should be someone here who did.

"Senior Brother," Li Shuang asked directly, "After using the Divine Light of Rebirth, I feel like there's an extra kind of energy within me. I can't use this energy on my own, but it seems to automatically protect me. What is this?"

Li Shuang looked at Lin An with some curiosity.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lin An's expression: "It really works!"

Li Shuang looked at him with some confusion.

Lin An suppressed his fluctuating emotions and explained carefully, "I have never cultivated the Rebirth Technique myself, so what follows is just my guess, but it should be pretty close to the truth."

"The cycle of reincarnation is the natural order of things. After death, one enters the River Styx, crosses it, and begins a new life. This cycle repeats endlessly, forming one of the most fundamental rules of this world."

"However, some souls, for various reasons, fail to enter the River Styx and instead linger in the mortal realm. This goes against the natural order of Heaven. The Divine Light of Rebirth can send souls into the River Styx for reincarnation, which is equivalent to helping Heaven deal with these beings outside the rules, thus doing Heaven a favor. Heaven will naturally reward them accordingly."

"If I'm not mistaken, the energy you've gained should be... merit!"

"To relieve the poor and needy is to gain merit."

"Helping those in distress and helping those in need brings merit."

“One can also gain merit by performing rituals to help the souls of the deceased.”

Lin An explained.

Li Shuang suddenly fell into deep thought.

Back then, she went to the Chen Kingdom and, together with Luo Mingyue and others, destroyed the Demon Heart in the palace. The Heaven and Earth Furnace had once helped her collect the power of the people's wishes, and she used this power to destroy the Demon Heart in one fell swoop.

At that time, it was called the "furnace of heaven and earth".

Because of the lack of specific techniques, if the collected power of aspiration is used immediately without the aid of a furnace, it will slowly disappear.

As Li Shuang listened, she felt that the merit Lin An spoke of was somewhat similar to the vows of all living beings.

Thinking this through, Li Shuang directly voiced her doubts.

She briefly described her experiences in the Chen Kingdom, omitting the existence of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, only saying that she suddenly felt a certain power and used it to destroy the demonic heart.

"What was that power back then?" Li Shuang asked.

Lin An thought for a moment and said, "That should be the power of vows. When the people are in trouble, they pray to the heavens and form the power of vows. At that time, the goal of the power of vows was to eradicate the evil heart. After you complete this task, you will be able to gain some merit."

"However, merit is something that cannot be seen or touched. Without the corresponding cultivation method, it is impossible to use it. That merit may give you some short-term good luck for a period of time. After that, it will gradually dissipate."

"But now, you have already mastered the second level of the Rebirth Technique and cultivated the Rebirth Divine Light. The Rebirth Divine Light can deliver the souls of the dead and you can gain Heavenly Dao merit. With Heavenly Dao merit on your body, other merits you gain in the future will not easily dissipate."

Lin An sighed, "Fifty thousand years ago, there was a sect called the Merit Sect. They did not cultivate spiritual power or the soul, but only cultivated merit. When merit was cultivated to a high level, its power was astonishing, no less than that of other cultivators. If one had enough merit, one might even eventually achieve physical sainthood and ascend directly to the Immortal Realm."

"However, the further you progress in this cultivation method, the more difficult it becomes. Especially if you want to reach the point of physical sainthood, you probably have to save the world from an apocalyptic crisis."

"The practitioners of the Merit Sect have never been able to reach the top level, and gradually, the sect has declined. Now, the Merit Sect's cultivation methods are kept in the Scripture Pavilion of Langya Palace. If you are interested in the future, you can go and take a look."

Li Shuang listened with great interest.

Cultivating merit?
This is interesting.

When the path of merit is the main cultivation method, advancement will likely be quite difficult.

However, it is quite useful as a supplementary cultivation method!
Li Shuang kept this matter in mind for the time being, and then continued her recovery.

When she sensed that the divine light of rebirth could be formed again in the River Styx, Li Shuang stood up.

"Senior Brother Lin An, we can use the Rebirth Light again now. I wonder... who should I perform the ritual for first?"

The Langya Sect has over ten thousand disciples.

Now, all these spirits are staring longingly in the direction of Li Shuang and Lin An.

They dream of ending the endless torment and starting a new cycle of reincarnation.

But there was a hidden fear in them.

after all.

Currently, under Li Shuang's divine light of rebirth, there are no survivors.

Although they didn't consider themselves unforgivable, they couldn't help feeling uneasy. "Your Rebirth Divine Light has just been cultivated, so you shouldn't consume too much energy. The lowest-ranking disciple in the Langya Sect is at least at the Nascent Soul stage, so let's start with these disciples." Lin An looked at these Nascent Soul stage disciples.

Some of the true spirits subconsciously took a step back.

"If you want to take the initiative, then step forward," Lin An said.

The divine light of rebirth was a first reality for him, and he knew that his disciples were still uneasy.

However, everything has to start somewhere.

After a short silence.

A pretty woman suddenly stepped forward and said timidly, "May I...can I try it first?"

She believed she had never done anything wrong. When the Langya Sect was about to ascend to immortality, although she was insignificant and could not change anything, she still stood firm and did not compromise her principles.

If the divine light of rebirth still decrees that she deserves to die, then she will accept her fate and let her soul be scattered.

"Come forward." Lin An nodded.

The disciple stood nervously in front of Li Shuang.

If successful.

She is the first person in the Langya Sect to enter reincarnation in 50,000 years.

If it doesn't work...

Then the other true spirits will probably only face death as well.

The other spirits also quietly looked over.

They were looking at the woman's fate, which was also their own fate.

Li Shuang raised her hand, and the brilliant golden light once again gathered at her fingertips.

The female disciple closed her eyes nervously.

Golden light enveloped her, and her soul also became transparent.

Unlike the Third Elder, her body did not have a large amount of black impurities; there was only a small gray area.

The divine light of rebirth burned the gray area, and the female disciple was clearly in some pain, but the pain was completely within a tolerable range.

Once this small gray area is completely burned away.

Her soul also became completely transparent.

Guided by the divine light of rebirth, her soul slowly rose and then, little by little, entered the River Styx.

Everyone stared intently.

The female disciple's soul was unharmed, and she stood firmly on the waters of the River Styx.

She stood quietly for a while, and suddenly a mark of her soul appeared on her forehead.

The female disciple was deeply moved, and she knelt down with gratitude: "As long as the demonic seed is extinguished, the sins will not be absolved. I understand. If I am fortunate enough to achieve something in my next reincarnation, I will fight the demonic seed to the death."

Within the River Styx, the woman, unbound by rules, uttered the words "Demon Seed" fluently.

At this moment, it was clear that the will of Heaven had given her some guidance, reminding her that everything was not over yet.

The female disciple bowed three times gratefully in the direction of Li Shuang and Lin An, then stood up and walked into the depths of the River Styx.

"It's a cycle!"

"She really went to reincarnation!"

"Heaven has spared us!"

"Fifty thousand years, fifty thousand years..."

Immediately, voices rang out from the scene, and some of the spirits even burst into tears on the spot.
