Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 927 A Second Life, Xun'er's Spring?
Won?

The ancient Bodhi tree is truly incomprehensible.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be understandable to be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and unable to extricate themselves.

But Xiao Yan, as a cultivator who also comprehends the Dao of Reincarnation, should be very clear that within the cycle of reincarnation, whether one succeeds or fails, it is merely a matter of enlightenment and experience, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

If a rule must be established, it should be 'no interference'.

Once external forces intervene, even if he achieves final victory, he will not be able to make any progress in either reincarnation enlightenment or in eliminating the evil thoughts of the Dou Di. It is no exaggeration to say that both sides lose.

—You also comprehend reincarnation, so how could you not know that there is no winning or losing within reincarnation?

After pondering for a long time without finding a result, the branches of the ancient Bodhi tree swayed, making a rustling sound of doubt.

He could have simply followed the established path and lived a stable life to achieve perfection in this world, but Xiao Yan deliberately drew out the power of reincarnation, completely disrupting all the predetermined trajectories.

This is outright cheating.

"I'm sorry, senior, I'm a very realistic person."

—Reality? Is reality simply the inability to distinguish between reincarnation and reality? Is this your understanding of the cycle of reincarnation?

"Yes."

Xiao Yan smiled and said calmly, "But I saved her not because of any so-called reincarnation, but simply because I wanted to save her, nothing more."

Although he spoke calmly, Xiao Yan's heart was far from calm.

He certainly understood the purpose of reincarnation.

That's precisely why he's unwilling to stand by and watch those past separations and deaths repeat themselves.

If everything is predetermined, if nothing can be changed, then what is the meaning of his reincarnation? What is the purpose of his coming to this world?
Xiao Yan could not accept it.

The girl in this world is carefree, never having to worry about survival, nor forced to move forward out of fear. Since that is the case, she should not have to experience the same change again.

She is the 'little princess' of Yin Valley, and she should be the same in Xiao Yan's heart.

Xiao Yan's dark eyes were as black as ink, showing no sign of confusion. Only a strong will and desire burned in his eyes, causing even the mighty and ancient tree-like pressure to retreat.

"If even reincarnation can't save her, what's the point of talking about reality?"

-

The ancient Bodhi tree fell silent.

It realized that the reincarnation that the other party had comprehended was not of the same origin as the one it had come to know.

The Bodhi tree guides people, but its roots lie within oneself.

In contrast, Xiao Yan focused on self-improvement, but his true nature lay with others.

They both sought enlightenment about reincarnation, one to repair his own body, and the other to fulfill the joy in his heart. Their starting points were different, and naturally, their outcomes were vastly different as well.

Perhaps this can also be seen as a form of reincarnation.

After a long silence, the divine thought of the ancient Bodhi tree finally arrived, carrying a rare hint of admiration.

Then, the conversation shifted again.

—If that's the case, then please prove it to me.

A sudden burst of green-gold light caused the severely damaged branches, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse, to visibly swell, with brilliant and dazzling golden veins instantly covering the veins of every leaf.

The divine tree, piercing through the clouds, stands like a pillar supporting the sky, stretching across the center of heaven and earth!
At this moment, all injuries and concerns were set aside by the Bodhi Tree, with its divine sense firmly locked onto Xiao Yan.

This is a debate between the two schools of thought.

Even among those who share the same goals, there are differences in skill and ability!
"Om-"

A strange, long cry, like the flapping of a dragonfly's wings, rang out. Xiao Yan felt a sharp pain in his soul, and the memories in his mind began to fade away rapidly like a tide.

"This is... the very essence of the Bodhi Tree's cycle of reincarnation?!"

Xiao Yan was shocked. Even though he was very wary of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he never expected that it would disregard its injuries and take the initiative to draw out its source power to fight against him!

The reason for all of this is simply a misunderstanding of the power of reincarnation.
Recalling the scene from the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "These guys standing at the pinnacle of the continent are indeed all extreme lunatics!"

However, at the same time, the Bodhi tree merely twisted its branches, as if expressing its excitement and ecstasy. —To encounter someone capable of reincarnation and enlightenment ten thousand years after the sealing of the Dou Di is truly a fortunate event.

—In that case, even if my life is hanging by a thread, it is no longer that important to me.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the branches of the Bodhi tree poured down wildly, and countless leaves fell like a storm, instantly enveloping Xiao Yan!

An unprecedented drowsiness instantly swept over Xiao Yan's mind, causing his eyelids to droop and the world before him to sway.

All memories are etched here.

This time, Xiao Yan indeed failed to get what he wanted.

"Nalan Yanran, this engagement is not proof that you are announcing it, but rather a letter of divorce from me!"

"What does it matter if there's a huge gap between us after a three-year agreement? I, Xiao Yan, never want to suffer this humiliation again in my life!"

“Nalan Yanran, from now on, you will have no further connection with my Xiao family. You are free. Congratulations.”

"The three-year agreement has ended. From now on, we will have no further entanglements. Consider your failure today as a small price to pay for the wrong approach you took back then."

"Father."

When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a lush, green forest.

The wind howled in his ears, and in front of him stood ancient trees with lush branches. At this moment, his breathing was as rapid as a bellows, and his heart was pounding wildly, as if he would completely collapse if he stopped.

Xiao Yan wanted to say something, but the cold wind rushed into his mouth like a blast of air, bringing a burning pain.

"Little guy, this time, things are a bit bad."

Suddenly, a slightly tired, aged voice rang out.

"Using the Buddha's Wrath Lotus twice in a row, such a high level of consumption, if you hadn't given me the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva, I'm afraid I would have fallen into a deep sleep again."

As the old man's voice rang out, Xiao Yan was startled, and memories flooded his mind.

Oh, right, Yunlan Sect!

The three-year agreement, which was originally a confrontation between him and Nalan Yanran, ultimately turned into a conspiracy by the Yunlan Sect.

After defeating Nalan Yan, Yun Ling, as the Grand Elder, did not stop there. Instead, he publicly declared Nalan Yan's crimes, invited the former sect leader Yun Shan, and almost trapped him in the Yunlan Sect.

With his father kidnapped, the Xiao family destroyed, and his body severely injured, Xiao Yan is undoubtedly at the lowest point in his life.

Xiao Yan gave a wry smile and said, "This time it was indeed reckless, but Father is missing."

"Ugh."

The old man sighed: "I know that you value relationships very much, otherwise you wouldn't have been so reckless as to kill Yun Leng in public."

"However, the circumstances surrounding your father's arrest were so suspicious that even I was puzzled."

Xiao Yan's expression grew increasingly bitter: "Is there really no other way?"

The old doctor nodded helplessly: "In my guess, the only two people who might know your father's whereabouts are that woman and the little girl you grew up with."

"Xun'er."

Xiao Yan frowned, but automatically ignored the former.

Tilting his head slightly to glance at the misty mountain peaks behind him, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Fine, Yunlan Sect, our feud is now established. If you think I, Xiao Yan, am the kind of spineless coward who would beg for mercy after suffering a loss, then you'd better regret it!"

Back then, Xiao Yan was able to endure humiliation and hardship for three years with just a three-year agreement. This kind of temperament is undoubtedly like a lone wolf on the grassland, always waiting for the enemy to show a weakness, and then delivering a fatal blow.
Without further hesitation, Xiao Yan instantly vanished from the Jia Ma Empire.

After leaving Jia Ma, Xiao Yan did not wander around aimlessly like a headless fly, but instead set his sights on Canaan Academy.

There, not only will there be information about the strange fire, but it is also possible to learn about her father's whereabouts from Xun'er.

He would never miss any opportunity, no matter how small!
Soon, with this belief in mind, Xiao Yan finally crossed the desert and arrived at the legendary Black Corner Plain.

Just as he was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and at his breaking point, two incredibly familiar figures suddenly appeared before him—

"Elder Ling? And Xun'er?!"
