Chapter 80 - 80 50 Rebirth for the Third Time_2

80: Chapter 50 Rebirth for the Third Time_2 80: Chapter 50 Rebirth for the Third Time_2 “You think anyone can just recklessly march forward and experience rebirth like you?” Old Man Liu said.

Right now, he indeed had no confidence.

Even with the essence from the Ant Nest at hand, he couldn’t guarantee a sure rebirth for the third time.

Because how far one can go is really hard to say.

At the very least, the threshold of the first rebirth has stopped ninety percent of people.

Some predecessors have estimated that even with Spiritual Material provided, sixty to seventy percent of people would be turned away, unable to achieve even one rebirth.

Without a doubt, after the first rebirth, it doesn’t mean one is on a wide road; even with Spiritual Material in hand, another sixty to seventy percent will be stopped during the second rebirth.

The same applies to the third rebirth.

Old Man Liu is of such an age, how could he be confident?

Qin Ming comforted and encouraged him, saying: “You must believe that you can make it through the entire Xinsheng Domain.”

Old Man Liu sighed and mentioned his life was always failing at crucial moments.

He could have had his rebirth during the prime of his life, but he got injured in the mountains and fell seriously ill, delaying for half a year.

When he was a youth, he went to Chixia City and was nearly accepted by a famous mentor, but that elder suddenly had to leave and was killed at the edge of the utterly dark desert.

After Old Man Liu came back, he got close to a group of old men from the Patrol Team.

He once tried to obtain a mysterious substance with them, but as they ventured into the mountains, they encountered a famous beast that went mad.

That Alien Species happened to just pass by, not targeting them intentionally, and nearly wiped them all out.

He was gravely injured from his Primordial Qi, and it was a miracle that he survived.

As Qin Ming listened to Old Man Liu ramble on, why did he feel that the old man was indeed quite unlucky?

“I’ve only had smooth ventures like the one into the mountains with you.

Other than that, things are just too troublesome and always full of twists and turns,” Old Man Liu sighed.

“You call that smooth?

Fighting an Ant Nest for four days, even evolved Flying Ants that I’ve never seen before appeared,” Qin Ming looked at him with a strange gaze.

“How about the people around you?

Have they been affected?” Qin Ming naturally wasn’t superstitious, he didn’t believe in that sort of thing at all, just asking casually.

“They are alright,” Old Man Liu hesitated.

“What do you mean by alright?” Qin Ming was skeptical.

“Like you, I originally didn’t belong to this village.

I was picked up by my grandfather here when I was six years old.

Maybe because I was too young at that time, I have no recollection of my biological parents.

I guess they must have had a hard life, or even passed away already, otherwise I wouldn’t have been found helpless in the ice and snow.

Oddly enough, my frostbite was very severe, but in the end, it healed, and I survived.”

Qin Ming didn’t know how to comfort him and said, “Don’t think too much about it.

I think you should go back and calm your mind, immediately drink the Spiritual Material without any hesitation, all at once, and go for the third rebirth!”

“That’s what I’m thinking, I should be decisive!” Old Man Liu said, then took out a porcelain jar from his bosom, unscrewed it, and gulped it down.

Qin Ming was stunned, “You came here and drank it straight away, why didn’t you go home and calm down first?”

Old Man Liu said, “I feel that things have been going well recently with you, and now I’ve come to bask in your good fortune.”

Shortly after, he became excited, feeling something stirring within him.

His body became scorchingly hot, as if catching fire, and a light mist started to rise within him.

“This is…

I’ve really succeeded, old man!” He wanted to laugh loudly, but he had to keep his voice down.

Qin Ming said, “Don’t be so superstitious.

You’ve always had the potential, it’s just that you set up barriers in your own mind.

Sometimes, you weren’t decisive enough, afraid to take that next step.”

“That can’t be said.

There are some things you can’t disbelieve.

I think all the misfortunes are related to a blood-stained kite I saw when I was young and naive,” Old Man Liu pointed to the night sky.

Qin Ming suddenly became serious and asked, “Where exactly was it?”

“Back then, I was standing by the Fire Spring at the entrance of the village.

The kite seemed to have drifted right above the center of Shuangshu Village…”

Old Man Liu hurried back home, tightly wrapping himself in his fur jacket, racing back before Heavenly Light appeared.

Late at night, Qin Ming’s body appeared as if the “Golden Silk Jade Robe” had truly manifested.

He doubted, those ancient emperors who sought immortality when they were buried in their jade box encased robes woven with golden threads—had they heard about something?

Qin Ming fell into deep sleep, until the latter part of the night, he experienced that state from before again—between dreaming and waking, he saw his younger self.

Still wearing tattered clothes, looking down, his two toes had peeped through the worn-out part of his shoes.

This time, however, he finally saw clearly the man who was speaking, though it was only a brief glance when he was close to the silk scripture, flipping through it.

Qin Ming realized this must be a relative of his, someone he bore a resemblance to.

He was in his early fifties, with graying temples, callused hands, and very old clothes patched here and there.

“Is it my grandfather?” guessed Qin Ming.

Eagerly, he watched the silk scripture turn to the third page; tiny characters and diagrams of human form alike unfolded before him.

There was no mention of the Heavenly Light Force!

It seemed that, continuing from the second page of the Xinsheng Skill, soon after, the senses, instincts, and intuitions were mentioned—he conjectured that the fourth rebirth probably had to do with perception.

“But where is the Heavenly Light Force?!” Qin Ming was so anxious he almost left this state, almost waking from the dream.

Fortunately, he held steady and continued to read down, imprinting the third page of the silk scripture on his mind; it might not be accurate to say “remembering,” but rather the re-experiencing of memories from his youth, recalled with the third rebirth.

Subsequently, he discovered something new—at the bottom corner of the page there was a line of remarks mentioning the Heavenly Light Force!

With a stony face, Qin Ming finished reading.

Why did it feel like he was scolding himself?

The first half of the comment roughly stated: Heavenly Light has already been born, can’t your own Heavenly Light Force be cultivated yet?

After that, it suggested what should be done next, in just one word: Merge!

The second half was mockery, stating that practicing the skill on the silk scripture required a master to lead the way, and if one had been taught hand by hand and was still so obtuse, it was time to give up the silk scripture.

“Feel free to scold, I reached it by myself, without anyone leading me in.” Qin Ming woke up.

The dense night had receded, a new day had arrived.

After breakfast, he immediately started practicing the Xinsheng Skill from the silk scripture in the yard.

“Seek from within oneself!” This was a key phrase he saw on the third page of the silk scripture.

As he exhibited the Xinsheng Skill from the silk scripture, the Heavenly Light inside him agitated just like yesterday; at the end, as if it would not flow smoothly without an outburst, mysterious ripples appeared on his skin, his fingertips pulsed, and the Heavenly Light Force was unleashed!

In a swift motion, as his fingertips barely touched the handle, the chopper stuck to his hand.

Then, after a slight try, with just a minor exertion from his fingers, the Heavenly Light Force burst forth, and a big chunk was missing from the chopper.

“Not simple at all, I have finally cultivated my own Heavenly Light Force.” He concentrated to feel it, continuously testing, then naturally his thoughts turned to the Blade Manual, which also contained records of the Heavenly Light Force.

During the third rebirth, many struggle to cultivate just one kind of Heavenly Light Force.

Qin Ming felt his limits should not stop at just one, especially when he had the Three Colored Flower in his possession.

Moreover, the annotation in the silk scripture mentioned the word “Merge,” clearly reminding successors to practice more Heavenly Light Forces.

Qin Ming heard the noise at the village entrance; people from Jinji Ridge indeed came, seeking to recruit Newcomers to join them.

“Everything is ready, just lacking a good blade!” Qin Ming took out the Mutton Fat Jade Iron; such a Spiritual Material does not require thousand-hammering and hundred-refining, just melting to make weapons, which is much simpler and could be done swiftly.
