Jian Chen slowly scanned past the immortals gathered around the Hole of Reincarnation. He said, “There must be a reason why so many immortals are cultivating near the Hole of Reincarnation. Let me find someone and ask.”
Shortly afterwards, Jian Chen found a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal old man within the crowd and directly woke him up.
The old man currently stared straight at the Hole of Reincarnation, either zoning out or cultivating in a special way. As a result, when he was disturbed by Jian Chen, he was immediately angered. However, when he sensed the pressure of an Immortal Monarch from Jian Chen, his expression immediately changed slightly, and he forcefully suppressed his feelings of displeasure.
“Are there any problems, senior?” the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal old man said rather politely.
Jian Chen casually tossed out a Space Ring and said, “I have a few questions for you. There are ten thousand high grade immortal crystals in there. They should be enough as compensation.”
The old man subconsciously caught the Space Ring. When he discovered a neat pile of ten thousand supreme grade immortal crystals inside, his face immediately flashed with glee. He immediately behaved with even greater respect, saying enthusiastically, “Senior, if you have any questions, ask away. I’ll tell you everything that I know.”
Jian Chen nodded. “What are you all doing here? Don’t tell me you’re cultivating near the Hole of Reincarnation? But according to my understanding, the Hole of Reincarnation doesn’t seem to serve any purpose like that?”
“Hehe, you must have spent many years in secluded cultivation without informing yourself about the matters of the outside world, which is why you don’t know about how the Hole of Reincarnation has changed in recent years, senior. Indeed, the Hole of Reincarnation was as you said in the past. If you don’t enter it and only study it from the outside, it truly offers no benefit or assistance to cultivation. However, in recent years, the Hole of Reincarnation has changed.” The old man chuckled.
“Really now? Tell me in detail.” Jian Chen was interested.
The old man cleared his throat before communicating to Jian Chen, “Ever since the Hole of Reincarnation changed, it gained two additional functions. The first is that various presences will seep out of it from time to time. Some of these are extremely pure energy. If absorbed, they can greatly increase your energy.”
“Some of the other presences seem to contain the profound ways of the world. If you’re fortunate enough to obtain a wisp, you’ll immediately enter a state of instantaneous comprehension. Whether it’s comprehending techniques or the ways, you’ll make rapid progress.”
“Other presences contain tremendous vitality of energy, not only healing people but also erasing many latent issues in their bodies.”
“It’s exactly because of these presences that seep out from the Hole of Reincarnation from time to time that more and more immortals have gathered near it. Let alone Immortal Emperors, there have even been Immortal Exalts that momentarily stayed here.”
“The presence that serves various functions was later named as reincarnation Qi by us.”
“It received its name because it came from the Hole of Reincarnation.”
“However, reincarnation Qi cannot be captured. Even if you are capable of exceptional things, it can’t be intercepted. It can only be absorbed as soon as it appears, which is why so many immortals have gathered around the Hole of Reincarnation. They’re all waiting for the reincarnation Qi to appear.”
Jian Chen secretly communicated with the sword spirits as he heard the questionable description of reincarnation Qi. “Zi Ying, Qing Suo, have you heard about reincarnation Qi before?”
“Reincarnation Qi? During the era when we existed, we never heard about any so-called reincarnation Qi. There had never been any energy that seeped out from the Hole of Reincarnation either.” The sword spirits’ voices rang out from Jian Chen’s soul before he could even finish what he was saying. They were filled with surprise.
At this moment, the old man continued to communicate, “Reincarnation Qi is only the first function. The second function is that colourful, changing light around the Hole of Reincarnation, except it’s not as great as the reincarnation Qi. The second function will sound even more controversial.”
“Please take a look, senior. The entrance of the Hole of Reincarnation is colourful. The colours merge together and are basically changing constantly. However, there have been some people who suddenly learnt secret techniques of extraordinary power just by staring at the colours. There have also been other people who said that they saw the evolution of the world. Some people saw the destruction of a major world and some people saw the many ways of the world woven together.”
“There have even been some people who awakened their past memories unknowingly just by observing the changing colours near the hole, finding out about their past lives.”
“It’s that wondrous? They can even awaken the memories of their past lives just by standing outside and staring at the Hole of Reincarnation?” Towards the end, even Jian Chen found it very unbelievable.
The old man smiled wryly. “The Immortals’ World is filled with rumours like that right now. As for whether they’ve actually awakened memories of their past lives, no one is certain apart from those who were present.”
After learning about the Hole of Reincarnation’s situation from the old man, Jian Chen began to approach it slowly. As he got closer, he discovered a series of stone pedestals scattered in the space there. Every stone pedestal was occupied by a person, but without any exception, the immortals seated on there were all the strongest experts out of the immortals near the Hole of Reincarnation.
The three Immortal Emperors sat on the three stone pedestals at the very front.
In order to avoid raising attention, Jian Chen did not get too close to the front. He sat down around the centre and stared straight at the Hole of Reincarnation.
The Hole of Reincarnation churned with colourful haze. The lights flickered and constantly wove together, changing rapidly. As he stared at it, it seemed to reflect his inner heart. It changed into various scenes according to his will.
“Sure enough, the Hole of Reincarnation is extremely wondrous,” Jian Chen thought. He stared straight at it without blinking.
“The Hole of Reincarnation has changed. It’s very different from before now.” The sword spirits’ voices rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
However, Jian Chen did not hear them at all. His eyes gradually became slightly distracted, entering a trance as he stared at the Hole of Reincarnation.
At that moment, the Hole of Reincarnation seemed to turn into a rapidly spinning swirl in his eyes, releasing a startling force of suction as if it wanted to drag his entire mind inside.
At the same time, a deep sense of sorrow silently welled up in Jian Chen’s heart.
Jian Chen’s thoughts seemed to freeze at that moment. He forgot about time. He forgot about himself. He no longer knew how much time had passed. It felt as if it had only been a few seconds, yet it also felt as long as a few tens of thousand years. Suddenly, his mind shuddered, and he instantly awakened from that state.
His heart was still filled with a faint sense of sorrow that had appeared for unknown reasons. He subconsciously touched his cheeks. They were cool and moist. Before he knew it, trails of tears had already covered his face.
“W-what’s wrong with me?” Gazing at his hand moistened by his tears, Jian Chen became confused.
