Did reincarnation exist?
This had been a question that plagued people since the beginning of time.
In an era where proof of immortality had yet to appear, the hottest topic was reincarnation. It was a time when strong beings died one after another as they reached then end of their brief lives.
No one could tell if a soul could reincarnate as another person in this world. But strange and freakish things nevertheless happened in the universe. Like a certain baby learning to read without so much as a help, and countless books at that.
This was not something a normal person could do, not at birth at least. All these baffling events fell under the label of ‘reincarnation’.
In the Feng City’s Central Hospital, Li Mo was visiting Jiang Jinsheng’s sister, a twelve-year-old girl by the name of Jiang Qingshan.
Jiang Qingshan looked thin in the ICU. She was the picture of health just recently. Until she scried for Zhou Mengxian and her state deteriorated. This past year she had been in a coma.
Jiang Jinsheng sighed, “The expense of keeping little Shan alive has reached thirty thousand RMB per day.”
The Celestial Eye told Li Mo her soul was weak, on the verge of scattering.
Comparing one’s soul with a lamp, when the light dies out, so to did Jiang Qingshan’s soul. Nothing short of Void Walker Ao’s Time Reversal could save a person from having their soul scattered.
Li Mo flashed and passed through the wall, next to Jiang Qingshan’s bed.
Jiang Jinsheng was praying in silence.
Li Mo placed his hand on her forehead, giving her the purest spiritual qi.
Second turned into minutes, and minutes into an hour. Li Mo was sweating as he finally took his hand back to see a rosy Jiang Qingshan.
“Thank you Immortal Li for saving my sister!” Jiang Jinsheng fell to his knees.
“Your sister’s soul is severely weakened. If you want to cure her, spiritual qi needs to be supplied every day so that her soul may recover.
“And even though her soul would be restored, it is another question if she will ever open her eyes.”
Li Mo wiped his brow.
Jiang Jinsheng begged, “Please save her Immortal. Save her and my life is yours!”
“Your sister’s soul ever flickers, threatening to die out at a moment’s notice. You aren’t a normal person and should know what that means. “
Jiang Jinsheng paled. He wasn’t a strong cultivator but had the Spirit Eye, second only to Celestial Eye and could see souls.
“I do not need your life. The Heavenly Dao Physique is such a rarity in the world and would be a pity for you to die so soon. Worry not, I will do all I can to save her.”
“Thank you, Immortal!”
Li Mo carried the thin Jiang Qingshan.
“This is not a good place to heal. My home in Phoenix District is the mansion by the stream. You can come at any time to see her.”
Li Mo then vanished.
“W-where did he go?”
Zhuge Yan was dumbfounded.
Li Mo left her behind.
“Back. But don’t worry, I’ll have someone take you home.
“Thank the ancestors. Sister is saved!”
Jiang Jinsheng was over the moon.
Li Mo placed Jiang Qingshan in the southern room on the third floor of his home then set up a Spiritual Gathering Array.
Li Mo’s home had went through many changes thanks to his constant improvements and had now turned into a spiritual qi paradise. Be it inside or in the gardens, the spiritual qi would be the most pure and thick. A cultivator would find their practice here quickened and an average person would live longer.
Li Mo had the array supply Jiang Qingshan with plenty of spiritual qi to nourish her soul. This saved Li Mo time rather doing it himself. And it would also assure a constant stream preventing Jiang Qingshan’s death.
Jiang Jinsheng came by the second day. Although he said he trusted Li Mo’s character, seeing was believing.
Jiang Jinsheng wasn’t a bad person, stopping all sales of ancient jade once he saw his sister getting the help she needed. He even when a step further, returning the money.
For the next week, Li Mo did nothing else but care for his patient.
Li Mo’s act touched Jiang Jinsheng so much he vowed he’d do everything in his power. He needed but ask.
Li Mo said, “I am only saving your sister because she and my disciple have the same constitution.”
The past Li Mo had many disciples, while true disciples numbered only two.
One was the proud Bai Feifei, the other was Sacred Maiden Yao Xi of Radiant Land.
The one who had the same constitution as Jiang Qingshan was Yao Xi, the Heavenly Dao Physique.
Such a person could vaguely sense the Heavenly Dao, they could divine a person’s fate and luck. Just like those famous characters in China’s history, like Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Li Chunfeng and many others. They all had the Heavenly Dao Physique, no exception. The only difference between them was their generation.
Yao Xi was a first generation Heavenly Dao Physique, the same as Jiang Qingshan before him.
Jiang Qingshan’s current state was due to forcing herself to foresee Li Mo. As he was a strange person who rebirthed, trying to scry anything about him was the same as trying on a half step God Emperor. The backlash was tremendous. With her only in the third level, her current state was only obvious.
As for her coma, Zhou Mengxian had a hand in it. This would’ve outright killed her in normal cases, but her Heavenly Dao Physique was too strong, granting her a sliver of hope.
“They say that if two Heavenly Dao Physique scry, not only their power would increase, but they can even avoid Heavenly Dao’s backlash.”
“Perhaps one day…”
Li Mo sank into his thoughts, watching Jiang Qingshan.
In his past life, Yao Xi died because of forceful scrying, pointing Li Mo on the path to immortality. It exceeded her capability and earned the wrath of the Heavenly Dao. Tribulation lightning struck her down and pulverized her on the spot.
“Master, when you’re not old or dead, come see me…”
“I wish, wish with master to…”
Boom~
Li Mo shivered and woke up.
In the Spiritual Gathering Array, Jiang Qingshan fluttered her eyelids open.
Seeing Li Mo, she wasn’t panicked but smiled.
“Hello, master.”
