The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Li Xiao looked at Dong Xiaoyu, who was kneeling and kowtowing with utmost sincerity, but he had other plans in mind.

His promise to help her return to life was not just empty words of comfort. The art of reincarnation and possession, which others found difficult to master, was not a difficult task for him at all.

He has traveled through several futuristic science fiction worlds, witnessed the extraordinary technologies of many top civilizations, and possesses a number of alien black technologies that far surpass the current era.

Ordinary Taoist methods rely on talismans, formations, and celestial secrets to change fate, which has many limitations, but he can completely break free from the constraints of the rules of this world.

The simplest and safest method is to find Dong Xiaoyu's remains, extract the complete DNA sequence from the remaining bones, and then use cloning technology to cultivate a brand new body that perfectly matches the origin of her soul. This is far more reliable than borrowing another's body to revive or forcibly taking over someone else's body.

Having made up his mind, Li Xiao calmly activated his divine soul and secretly called out to the system: "System, if I use cloning technology to cultivate a physical body and revive Dong Xiaoyu in this parallel world, can I bring her back to the main world intact?"

The system's gentle female voice quickly rang in his mind, without the slightest hesitation: "No."

Li Xiao frowned slightly, but he was not discouraged and immediately asked, "Then is it feasible to return to the main world without her physical body, only taking her complete soul?"

This time, the system did not respond immediately.

A long silence fell over his mind, lasting more than ten seconds, before the system's voice sounded again: "Okay."

Those two short words, like a thunderclap at dawn, instantly exploded in Li Xiao's heart.

Li Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, his chest heaved with surging emotions, and the excitement and joy in his heart were beyond words.

He traveled through countless worlds, experiencing numerous adventures and witnessing all kinds of scenery, but he always harbored a great regret in his heart—all the women he met in parallel worlds could only remain in their original worlds, and he had no way to bring them back to his main world.

Today, the easing of the system's stance represents an unprecedented breakthrough.

This was the first time since he had traveled through the heavens that he had been able to return with a soul from a parallel world, which made him extremely excited.

After calming himself down a bit, Li Xiao took out a small, translucent white jade bottle from his personal miniature world.

The jade bottle has a warm and translucent texture, and its outer wall is carved with intricate and fine circular patterns. This is a complete soul-nourishing array. The patterns flow with a faint light, and the spiritual energy is restrained and not ostentatious.

This is a magical artifact specifically designed to nurture spirits and souls. The bottle contains its own space, which can not only accommodate various types of spirits but also autonomously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, continuously nourishing the spirits and strengthening their origins.

Li Xiao, holding the jade bottle, said to Dong Xiaoyu, "You should first enter the Soul Nourishing Jade Bottle to reside in. The outer array can absorb spiritual energy to nourish your soul, accelerate the condensation of your soul's origin, and strengthen the foundation of your Yin soul. Once I have prepared a brand new physical body for you, you will be able to return to the world of the living in the most complete state of your soul, saving you the effort of nurturing and refining it over the years."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, filled with joy and gratitude, and she nodded emphatically.

With a slight sway, her red-clad phantom suddenly dissipated, transforming into a wisp of soft, ethereal crimson light that then entered the jade bottle.

Li Xiao raised his hand, tightened the stopper, and carefully put the jade bottle away. He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he appeared before the overgrown, lonely grave—the final resting place of Dong Xiaoyu.

This place is desolate and quiet, with wild vines and weeds growing all around. The low graves are already half-covered by weeds, with lonely tombstones standing among them.

Li Xiao made a grasping motion in the air with one hand, and an invisible spiritual force suddenly swept out.

The wildly growing weeds all fell and parted to the sides, the layers of soil peeled away, and the mound of earth on the grave was instantly dug open, revealing an old, thin wooden coffin in Li Xiao's eyes.

The coffin had long been damp and rotten, with broken edges and peeling paint. The body of the coffin was covered with fine cracks and had been eroded by the dampness underground for many years, making it dilapidated.

After the coffin lid was opened, Dong Xiaoyu's body had already turned into a skeleton, with no trace of flesh or blood left.

Li Xiao took two complete teeth from the skeleton's mouth and more than ten strands of hair.

He carefully placed the sampled hair and teeth into a sandalwood box, then with a slight flick of his finger, the sandalwood box vanished instantly, stored in his personal miniature world.

In his personal little world, there is a state-of-the-art cloning equipment that can immediately start the cultivation process.

With the cloning technology he currently possesses, it would take approximately three years to cultivate the physical body of an adult woman.

Now that the cultivation process has been started ahead of schedule, by the time this world mission ends, Dong Xiaoyu's physical body will be almost fully cultivated.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Li Xiao had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Ren Tingting, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, standing gracefully outside the threshold, carrying an exquisite wooden food box.

"Brother Li, you're awake?"

Ren Tingting has curved eyebrows and a sweet voice, carrying a touch of morning warmth.

Today, she looked completely different from her usual charming young girl. Her long, black hair was all piled up behind her head, revealing her slender and graceful neck. She wore a simple pink and white cheongsam that accentuated her beautiful figure. This outfit made her shed some of her girlish naivety and added a touch of maturity and charm.

Just as Ren Tingting stepped into the house, a loud and exaggerated shout suddenly broke the morning tranquility from outside the courtyard: "Cousin! Wait for me!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ren Tingting's smile vanished instantly. She paused, turned around, and looked out of the courtyard, a hint of helplessness flashing across her brows.

Awei rushed in from outside the courtyard, jogging up to Ren Tingting with a grin on his face. "Cousin," he said, "I came here specifically to see you today. I have something important to tell you!"

Ren Tingting asked coldly, "What important business could you possibly have?"

Awei glanced furtively at Li Xiao beside him, deliberately drawing out his words and clicking his tongue in feigned difficulty: "Oh dear... there are outsiders here, and this is a crucial matter, so it's not convenient to speak up."

Upon hearing this, Ren Tingting's face immediately turned cold. She snorted and said with a hint of anger, "If you're not going to talk, then you'd better leave now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand as if to close the door, intending to stop Awei from entering. But Awei panicked when he saw this and immediately pushed the door open.

Ren Tingting was no match for Awei's strength, and with the sudden push on her back, she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Li Xiao grabbed her waist and caught the rickety food box with his other hand.

Seeing his beloved cousin being held in the arms of this despicable man, Awei was furious. He pulled out a revolver from his waist and pointed it directly at Li Xiao.
