Chapter 1142: Chapter 807: Reincarnation (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

Because of this matter, Zhunti Saint had already been forbidden to enter Dongsheng Divine Continent, not even in the form of an avatar. After all, no one would like their painstakingly cultivated disciples to suddenly turn to someone else’s teachings.

As for Empress Nuwa, after the Great Ancient era, she lived a secluded life, rarely showing herself in the outside world, let alone taking any action.

Therefore, no one knew what Empress Nuwa had comprehended or how strong she had become now.

Saints each have their own understanding, but below the level of Saints, it’s hard to say, as many Great Divine Transcendents have sat here for one million years without any enlightenment.

Although Jiang Chen was confident and believed his talent was not inferior, he didn’t have the audacity to think he could surpass the Great Divine Transcendents. So, if even they couldn’t comprehend anything, he didn’t feel that he could either.

Moreover, Jiang Chen’s strength was too weak, even if he truly comprehended something, it wasn’t something he could withstand at present. But to be at the realm of an Innate Dao Sovereign and to attempt to glimpse the power of the Great Dao, wasn’t he afraid that his body couldn’t handle it and would explode entirely?

Jiang Chen had this self-awareness. So, his visit today wasn’t to comprehend those six Great Dao marks but to understand the power they emanated.

The power of the six Great Dao marks kept the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish constantly turning, thus forming a reincarnation system that encompassed the whole heaven and earth. And the trajectories left by the turning Six Paths Reincarnation Dish are the manifestation of the power of the six Great Dao marks, containing the mysteries of heaven and earth’s reincarnation.

If Jiang Chen couldn’t comprehend the Great Dao marks themselves, could he not comprehend the residual power they left behind?

...

......

Finding a suitable position, Jiang Chen gazed at the entire Six Paths Reincarnation Dish, the first thing that caught his eye was the six Great Dao marks that bloomed with eternal radiance.

With just one glance, Jiang Chen knew that the power was not something he could contend with at the moment. Because, at the instant he saw the six Great Dao marks, he felt as if his whole being were shattering, turning into countless fragments, then being reconstituted by some inexplicable power, only to shatter once more.

This cycle went on and on. And through the continuous breaking and reforming, Jiang Chen gradually realized that his entire being was vanishing into nothingness. If he couldn’t break free from this cycle soon, he would completely disintegrate into nonexistence, without any concept of existence left.

That is to say, he would die, utterly and cleanly, without leaving any trace behind, nor would he be resurrected.

Having realized this, almost instinctively, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and broke free from that cycle of breaking and reforming.

"It’s terrifying; this is the true power of reincarnation, capable of turning a person from existence to nonexistence, complete annihilation. Any being who has not transcended reincarnation cannot escape it."

"That is to say, all talk of surviving countless calamities, of immortality and indestructibility, is but illusion in the face of true reincarnation. Only eternity is real."

Jiang Chen was truly frightened; he had always thought that once he achieved the status of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, he would be eternal and indestructible, but now it seemed he had been too naïve. Under the power of reincarnation, even Saints would fall and not be eternal; everything is vain.

Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial has transcended life and death, having no concept of either, and so they do not perish. Without the concept of death, how could they die? To them, what is called death is merely transforming into another form.

Yet even Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, transcending life and death, still exists within the cycle of reincarnation.

What is reincarnation?

From nothingness to being, from being to nothingness, the process in between is reincarnation.

Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, and even Chaos Demigods, are within this scope, they embody the concept of "being".

And reincarnation, since it can give you "being," naturally it can also lead you to "nothingness". Thus, reincarnation holds the power to erase all things, to turn all existing matter and concepts into void.

This power has transcended both creation and destruction, it is what Jiang Chen seeks.

The Great Dao is the power that transcends reincarnation, reigning above the concepts of being and non-being, embodying true eternal existence. To transcend reincarnation is to achieve the Great Dao, and this realm is also called Eternity.

Once in this state, one exists forever, there is no power that could destroy you anymore, not even yourself.

The two characters for transcendence encapsulate the very essence of cultivation. Isn’t transcendence what cultivators seek?

From transcending life and death, to transcending heaven and earth, and then transcending reincarnation, all these aims are for the achievement of eternity.

"It’s a pity, such power, yet I cannot comprehend it, which is truly heartbreaking,"

Jiang Chen’s tone was filled with helplessness. Merely taking a glance nearly claimed his life, let alone trying to comprehend it; he feared that before he could comprehend anything, he would have already ceased to exist.

"If I cannot comprehend the Great Dao marks, then it’s also possible to grasp the power they represent. After all, both have the same origin, and both are interpretations of the power of reincarnation, differing only in simplicity and profundity,"

"Starting with the easy and proceeding to the difficult isn’t wrong."

Comforting himself, Jiang Chen no longer dwelt on the Dao marks and instead turned to observe the trajectories left behind by the turning of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish. These were the physical manifestations of the power of Dao marks, containing the mysteries of reincarnation.

Jiang Chen’s plan was well thought out; he would first comprehend these Dao traces. If he could gain some insights, then once his strength improved, comprehending the Great Dao marks would become much easier, and the mysteries within would be more readily understood.

Humming...

The Dao Mirror vibrated within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, continuously emitting brilliant light. With Jiang Chen’s gaze, it looked upon those trajectories together.

Without the enhancement of the Dao Mirror, although Jiang Chen’s qualifications as an Innate Saint were still formidable enough to be top-notch in the Prehistoric World, there were many who could rival him.

However, with the Dao Mirror’s blessing, his aptitude immediately changed, becoming sufficient to place him among the top three in the Prehistoric World, instantly creating a gap between him and others.

Furthermore, the Dao Mirror possessed not only the ability to reflect, but also the ability to analyze; it could discern the essence of anything it reflected upon.

The essences of those trajectories might be lofty, but the Dao Mirror was not inferior at all—transformed from fragments of Chaos Treasures, it was more than capable of analyzing those trajectories.

This is the advantage!

Rustling!

While Jiang Chen was using the Dao Mirror to analyze those trajectories, at another side of his Sea of Consciousness, the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly swayed and made a rustling sound.

Then, various mysteries related to reincarnation surged into Jiang Chen’s heart.

One must not forget that the Chaos Green Lotus was once a Chaos Treasure itself, born from the creations of the Great Dao, representing one facet of the Great Dao’s creation.

The three Chaos Treasures—the Chaos Pearl is the manifestation of Chaos, symbolizing one aspect of the Great Dao of Chaos, which is the beginning of everything. The Chaos Green Lotus was born from creation, representing the aspect of the Great Dao’s creation. The Chaos Axe embodies strength, symbolizing the Great Dao’s power and the aspect of destruction.

Together, the three form a complete cycle of reincarnation: starting with the Chaos Pearl, followed by creation through the Chaos Green Lotus, and then the conclusion of everything by the Pangu Axe.

Following this line of thought, if the three Chaos Treasures could be fused into one, perhaps one could obtain a Reincarnation Treasure or even an eternal treasure that transcends reincarnation—it’s uncertain.

And this conjecture was confirmed in Jiang Chen.

The Chaos Green Lotus was exerting its power, and so was the Dao Mirror. Although they were two separate treasures, combined, they exhibited the might of the three Chaos Treasures.

So, a complete cycle of reincarnation appeared in Jiang Chen, continuously corroborating with the trajectories left by the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish, deepening his understanding of the Way of Reincarnation.

Gradually, a mysterious power of reincarnation rose from him, and in an instant, everything around ceased to exist, turning into nothingness.

...

Before long, just over a month’s time, the power of reincarnation emanating from Jiang Chen grew stronger and stronger. Ultimately, it not only affected the environment around him but began to affect him as well, threatening to turn his very being into nothingness.
