Chapter 258: Chapter 186: True Qi Increases by Two Hundred! Both Sides Fight for the Best Body in the World!

Atop the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge.

Lin Yan continuously moved forward, completely absorbing the Spiritual Energy around him.

However, the one-armed man wasn’t annoyed at all; on the contrary, he was extremely delighted.

"You truly deserve to be the esteemed County Magistrate, once highly regarded by Lord Qingling; reincarnated, you surpass your former self,"

The one-armed man sighed before saying, "But be careful, sir, too much Spiritual Energy can damage your reincarnated body and you might fall off... Otherwise, waiting for a new body in the next life, who knows how many years that will take."

Lin Yan’s heart stirred, understanding the transformation at play.

The so-called reincarnated body, the so-called awakening of past wisdom, was nothing more than playing the part of a townsfolk.

Those assimilated had become like this one-armed man.

Those who transcended had become like himself and Lv Tang.

But for those who would fall from the bridge, it would mean true death for people like himself.

Yet for the old citizens, it was merely the end of this life.

Later arrivals would enter the ruins, play the part of townsfolk once again, be assimilated or transcend, effectively "awakening past wisdom," tantamount to reincarnating once more.

In truth, these old citizens had long vanished in the river of time.

He and others, including the one-armed man from the Liu Family before him, were merely the later performers.

"The Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge has come to an end. Our crossing represents the complete return of this life!"

The one-armed man looked back and said with a smile, "Having cleansed the remnants of this life, we have fully restored our former selves... we have returned..."

He waved his solitary arm and shouted, "Soon, everyone will return. The townspeople, they’re all coming back... We can now rebuild our town, recreate our homeland!"

In front of them lay a mountain range.

Among these mountains, there were houses, one after another.

Those who perished in the Tribulation Ash, during their impersonation, were assimilated and completely lost this life, believing themselves to be the former citizens.

They multiplied here, continuing to live and rebuild their homeland.

Approximately thirty to forty people came out from ahead.

Lin Yan subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

He sensed carefully and found that the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge was longer than expected!

Hence, the Spiritual Energy he had absorbed was also somewhat more.

Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm (203/6480)+

"Broke the two hundred mark!"

Lin Yan thought to himself, "Since entering the ruins, in less than a day, my True Qi has grown nearly sevenfold! Such an enormous opportunity indeed!"

But upon reflecting, he realized there probably wasn’t anyone else who had, like himself, just entered the Qi Refining Realm but already perfected a Qi Refinement Cultivation Technique to Perfection!

Without the mastery of this Cultivation Technique, he couldn’t have refined such an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy so effortlessly.

Moreover, a lot of Spiritual Energy was swallowed by the Nirvana Divine Egg, the Venerable deity, and the Little White Ape.

As for Lv Tang, the Spiritual Energy he absorbed was practically negligible.

"The new homeland is right ahead."

The one-armed man said with a smile, "Actually, after waiting for so many years, only about twenty of us could fully awaken the wisdom of past lives, but somehow, perhaps due to Lord Qingling’s blessing, many townspeople’s reincarnated selves have come..."

"Just today, including you, more than a dozen townspeople fully awakened and returned to their hometown."

"Townspeople... The County Magistrate and Scholar have returned, come out quickly..."

The one-armed man, waving his single arm and cheering loudly, was filled with joyful excitement.

From the houses ahead, one figure after another emerged to greet them.

"Which one is the County Magistrate?"

"Where is the Scholar?"

"Over these years, the Scholar’s reincarnated selves have returned several times, ultimately falling off the Purifying World Bridge, or running away... Thankfully, they have finally returned this time!"

"The Scholar is one thing; his reincarnated selves returned several times and will often return in the future. But the County Magistrate’s reincarnated selves have never appeared before."

Hearing numerous voices, Lin Yan had a general understanding.

Those who played the role of the Scholar among the Tribulation Ash’s people were not few. Time and again, members of the Tribulation Ash would enter, presenting themselves as the Scholar, his reincarnated selves returning multiple times.

But playing the County Magistrate was surely the most dangerous role!

Therefore, people from the Tribulation Ash would certainly avoid the role of the County Magistrate!

Now it appeared that the County Magistrate of yore, having killed his family, had a moment of realization and therefore killed himself!

Which meant the ones playing the role of the County Magistrate usually ended up committing suicide, unable to make it to the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge, so the so-called "reincarnated selves" didn’t exist!

"What would happen if different people played the same role?"

Just as Lin Yan pondered this, an old man approached, looking at the one-armed man.

"A Qiu, you just went to guide the County Magistrate, and right after you left, another of the same life arrived."

"Where is he?" asked the one-armed man with a laugh. "Where am I?"

"In your house." The old man stroked his beard and said, "Go and pay homage to Lord Qingling, it’s time to determine your current life’s main identity."

"Alright then, I’ll head there now." The one-armed man waved his hand and, turning around, said, "I’ll go first."

"What’s a same life identity?" Lv Tang couldn’t help but ask.

"Of course, it’s like you, a reincarnated body who has awakened the wisdom of a former life." The old man chuckled and said, "How can a person be split up? Naturally, you have to merge back together to be complete..."

"And how does one become complete?" Lin Yan asked solemnly, "Does the stronger person kill the weaker one?"

"No, no, no, they’re the same being. How could one kill the other? That’s reunion!" The elder waved his hand and said, "If it’s the County Magistrate, it certainly has to be a martial contest. A Qiu isn’t a martial artist, so they should use their skills from their previous life to decide who will be the main identity in this life!"
