Chapter 1153: Chapter 1152: Reincarnation Path, Stone of Three Lives

The great battle in the Ghostly Realm didn’t affect the normal order of The Nether World, as the nine Great Emperors who were chased away never did any work. The rules and order of The Nether World were maintained by designated officials.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t know what Reincarnation Path was, nor did he understand why it was one of the three secret places in the Reincarnation Space.

Regardless of the secrets the Reincarnation Path held, he had to obtain the Stone of Three Lives.

In fact, he was also afraid that more experts from the Heavenly Realm would descend to the Lower Realm, so he had to act quickly and secure the Stone of Three Lives first.

To the north of the Reincarnation Space, there indeed existed a passageway, a portal of light, outside of which stretched a staircase downward, extending up to the top of a tall mountain.

As Yusuf Zuck landed on the mountain, a radiant light flashed in the distance, then three people also landed at the peak and glanced at him.

His battles with the ten Great Emperors and the Divine Envoy had shaken The Nether World, and everyone knew about it, but only a few had actually seen him. Consequently, the three newcomers did not realize that this odd person they were observing was the one who had slaughtered three Great Emperors, driven away a Divine Envoy, and frightened other Emperors into hiding.

Of course, by this time Yusuf Zuck was also composed because he had already become a Great Emperor and, having merged with others like the Impermanence Emperor, his body was enveloped in black Nether energy. Except for real experts, no one could tell his true Immortal status.

The three people, two women and one man, gave Yusuf Zuck a few looks, nodded to each other, and then proceeded up the stairs.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t pay much attention to them and also started climbing the steps.

However, the moment he set foot on the staircase, he felt the gravity around him drastically increase—a Gravity Staircase, unknown to him, which caused his knees to buckle, nearly bringing him to his knees.

The two women and the man who had climbed the stairs ahead of him suddenly let out a scoff, "Just a lowly First Grade Nether Emperor, looks good but useless!"

Right, they were all Grade Two! Grade Two! Grade Two!

Yusuf Zuck had long passed the stage of being competitive. The jeers from some insignificant characters didn’t anger or bother him; they just laughed a few times, not offending you.

Yusuf, known for his ruthless and merciless killings and lack of humanity, certainly couldn’t kill someone just because they laughed at him, right?

Thus, his mindset had changed long ago, becoming imperturbable, gentle as a breeze and light as a cloud!

The second stair had ten times the gravity of the first, though the three Grade Two Nether Emperors in front advanced quite quickly.

Yusuf Zuck then approached the third stair, which had ten times the gravity of the second!

He vaguely understood what was happening, so he took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mental state, and began sprinting upward!

Indeed, the staircase had ninety-nine steps, each quite large. Taking them one by one would be a waste of time; he couldn’t allow any mishaps now—no one could stop him from obtaining the Stone of Three Lives!

"Whoosh!" He started sprinting like the wind, instantly overtaking the three ahead.

When the three saw a figure flash by right before their eyes, they were all stunned; the next second, their mouths dropped open because, in the blink of an eye, the man had already climbed past several steps and reached the midpoint in another blink.

In the next blink, the man had entered the light portal of the Reincarnation Path.

"Are we seeing things?" the trio said, astounded, "How could he be so fast? How could anyone be that fast? Could it be that gravity doesn’t affect him? You know, the farther up, the gravity increases exponentially, to billions of times!"

"Who was that man?"

"I don’t know, never seen him before."

"Could it be that person?"

"It’s impossible, I heard that person has the cultivation level of an Immortal Venerate, but the one we just saw is clearly a First Grade Emperor with the power of the Nether World around him."

"Then who is he?"

"I don’t know, but let’s hurry up and move on. Besides, since we mocked him earlier, we must apologize if we encounter him again later!" the man said.

"Why should we apologize? He’s only Grade One. Even if he’s not obstructed by Gravity, there’s no need to apologize to him, right?" one of the women said.

"Exactly, let’s not forget who we are. Us, apologize to someone else? Hmph!" the second woman snorted coldly. Who were they? Descendants of the great Dao Lord, although not directly his children, they were his grandchildren, so direct relatives.

Yusuf Zuck did not know the damned status of these minor figures because he had already entered the legendary Reincarnation Path.

The Reincarnation Path, aptly named because of its relation to reincarnation.

After Yusuf entered, he found himself in a vast hall with a stele erected in the middle, inscribed with characters.

Yusuf read it carefully and, having finished, understood the purpose behind the existence of the Reincarnation Path.

This was a place for cultivation, not a place where one could reincarnate.

The Reincarnation Path had three passages, also called the Three World Reincarnation Path. These three worlds did not refer to your past three lives since each path bore tremendous uncertainty!

Entering one, you might enter into the cycle of your previous life, see what your previous life was like, and then experience the grudges, love, and the cycles of life and death of that lifetime.

Whatever insights you gained there, you could then use to advance your cultivation level, as many monks from the Nether World have done.

Of course, you might also enter into the cycle of your last ten, last hundred, or even this current life, wherein this cycle you would watch scenes from your past life, including many things unknown to you, opportunities missed, and unseized love and life, all revealed to you so that you can identify your own flaws. Thus, the Stone of Three Lives is highly uncertain.

The reason for three paths is that if you traversed all three, ’it’s possible’ you might see your next life, or what your future might be like.

Of course, it’s only ’possible.’ Even after walking all three paths, you might not see your future but see the cycles of your past three lives instead!

Many come here to explore all three paths in hopes of glimpsing their future.

The Reincarnation Path’s existence is because of the Stone of Three Lives. The Nether World holds three such stones, each located within these three paths.

The stele did not specify how big the Stone of Three Lives was, and Yusuf had forgotten to ask Fatty about how large a piece was needed to restore someone’s memories!

If only a piece the size of a fingernail was needed, then he could simply knock off a few small pieces; there was no need to move the entire stone from the Reincarnation Path.

"Whoosh~" Just as he was wondering what to do, suddenly, a man emerged from a Reincarnation Path behind the stele, dressed in snow-white garments, incredibly handsome and dashing.

Upon seeing Yusuf, the man clasped his fists slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, this place is extremely mysterious, and my benefits from turning it were not superficial."

"Oh." Yusuf also clasped his fists in return and thought for a moment before asking, "How big are the Stones of Three Lives inside?"

"How big?" The man was taken aback, then chuckled, "About the size of this stele. To see your past and future lives, you need to infuse them with essence blood!"

"Can the Stone of Three Lives be split apart? If split into several pieces, does it still function?" Yusuf pressed on.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the man’s eyebrows shot up heavenward, "Which Nether Emperor’s family are you from to spout such nonsense?"
