Chapter 32: Reincarnation of Maha
Guangxi Mountain.
Pavilions in the mountains.
Li Wu drank the spiritual tea alone, gazing at the beautiful landscape.
A moment later, a refreshing breeze swept over them, and a graceful figure slowly landed on the hilltop.
"Brother Li."
Ning Miao strode into the pavilion and said happily:
"I never expected you to join the Qi family."
Li Wu shook his head and smiled:
"I've been in these mountains for two and a half years, and I'm so glad I've finally met you."
After saying that, Li Wu suddenly paused, and said in surprise:
"Have you completed your cultivation?"
Ning Miao nodded slightly, but there was no smile on her face:
"It was already completed two years ago."
"When are you planning to go into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Ning Miao sat on the stone chair, pursed her lips, and said:
"The Qi family has prepared the spiritual items I need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I went to see my brother for the last time yesterday and learned that he has already completed his Qi cultivation, which put my mind at ease."
"Now that we're back, it's time to prepare for the Foundation Establishment breakthrough."
After Ning Miao finished speaking, she paused, glanced at Li Wu, and then said:
"To break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, one must condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into an immortal foundation, which then hangs above the dantian. Once this process of condensing the immortal foundation begins, it cannot be stopped. Failure will result in death and annihilation."
"Therefore, spiritual objects related to the path of cultivation are needed to assist one. Once a breakthrough is successful, not only will lifespan be greatly increased, but one's every move will carry the imagery of the path of cultivation."
Li Wuzhi knew that Ning Miao was instructing him, so he stood up with a serious expression, bowed, and even cracked a joke:
"You are so young to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. You will surely become a Purple Mansion True Person in the future. It seems that the pill I bought back then was not a waste of money."
Ning Miao did not smile. She had been a disciple of the Qi family for several years and had never lacked cultivation resources, even better than the direct descendants of the Qi family.
It was as if everything was being pushed along.
The closer she got to the completion of her Qi cultivation, the more anxious her master became.
They were anxious to have her go into seclusion and to help her break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Gradually, she also realized that something was wrong.
"I am in seclusion trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I don't know if I will live or die. If I fail to break through, I hope Brother Li will take good care of my brother."
Ning Miao's words sounded like a dying wish, causing Li Wu to frown deeply and say in a deep voice:
"Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is this dangerous? Even with your talent, you can't overcome it?"
Ning Miao shook her head, said nothing more, and then said:
"Brother Li, you are now at the sixth level of Qi Refining. It won't be long before the Qi family urges you to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining and then go to the land of Buddhist and witchcraft cultivators."
"Immortal cultivators consume qi, while Buddhist cultivators consume life force. Brother Li, you cultivate the path of [Divine Thunder], which is extremely rare in this world."
"You must be extremely careful. Before doing anything, calmly consider whether your decision aligns with your true nature. Also, you must not rush your cultivation."
Li Wu felt that Ning Miao's words had a hidden meaning, so he nodded and said:
"I've written it all down."
The two chatted about other things before Ning Miao finally left.
A few days later, a disciple of the Qi family delivered several bottles of pills and urged them to hurry.
"Fellow Daoist Li Wu, please advance to the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible, and do not delay any longer."
Li Wu accepted the pill, remembering Ning Miao's instructions, and nodded slightly.
"I will break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in three months."
…………
Li Wu left Guangxi Mountain.
Before heading west to the territory of the Buddhist sect, Li Wu planned to visit the He family first to learn more about the Buddhist sect.
Li Wu rode the wind all the way to the He family's ancestral land, Jiuwan Peak.
He flew for a while and then saw a winding river in the mountains with nine bends.
At each bend in the road, there is a village.
Women squatted by the river washing clothes, while men rowed boats down the river, catching fish and shrimp.
The children, holding bamboo poles, chatted and laughed as they herded the geese and ducks on the water.
A scene of peace and prosperity.
Li Wuling scanned the area and sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy near a mountain peak. He then flew over and landed in a village at the foot of the mountain.
When the villagers saw Li Wu descending from the sky, they all knelt down and kowtowed, calling him an immortal.
A moment later, an old farmer pushed through the crowd, walked up to Li Wu, and bowed, saying:
"A mortal disciple of the He family pays respects to the Immortal Master. We do not know your name, and why you have come to our He family's Nine Peaks."
Li Wu then took out the token that He Jingyu had given him and said loudly:
"Go and inform Fellow Daoist He Jingyu that Li Wu has come to visit."
Seeing that it was his own token, the old man's anxiety subsided considerably. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sent someone up the mountain to inform them, then looked at Li Wu:
"Immortal Master, please follow me up the mountain."
Li Wuwei nodded slightly and followed the old man up the steps to Jiuwan Peak.
He looked around, silently calculating the distance he would travel, and estimated:
"This mountain is about the same height as my Qing Shi Mountain, but the He family has been operating here for a long time. The spiritual energy is abundant, and the formations are complicated. If you are not careful, you will get lost in the illusion array."
Thinking about this, Li Wu also considered setting up a sect formation for Qing Shi Mountain.
However, such a large-scale formation, capable of covering an entire mountain peak, cannot be set up using only formation flags and formation plates.
Setting it up is very complicated, taking both time and spirit stones.
Just as Li Wuxin was pondering this, a large courtyard was located on a flat piece of land in front of him.
"Immortal Master, we've arrived," the old man whispered.
Li Wu came to his senses, nodded slightly, and stepped into the courtyard.
Upon hearing that the visitor was Li Wu, He Jingyu arrived early to wait. Seeing Li Wu enter the courtyard, he laughed loudly and went forward to greet him:
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Li, you've finally come to see me."
Li Wu also smiled and spoke:
"It's been a long time since we parted ways in the secret realm."
He Jingyu welcomed Li Wu into the house, served him tea, and began to speak eloquently:
"Fellow Daoist Li, why did it take you so long to come see me?"
Li Wu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed:
"Sigh, not long after leaving the secret realm, Qi Chengheng brought me to Guangxi Mountain."
He Jingyu was taken aback, his brows furrowed slightly, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, saying:
"What do those Purple Mansion True Persons want you to do?"
"The Qi family told me that there are thunder-attribute spiritual objects in the land of Buddhist cultivation and witchcraft, and that there is an opportunity for me to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so they asked me to go there."
Upon hearing this, He Jingyu's face tightened. After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke:
"It seems that those Purple Mansion Immortals want to use you to resolve the issue of reincarnation and rebirth of Maha."
"Reincarnation? Maha?" Li Wu frowned slightly.
He didn't know anything about Shi Xiu, and the Qi family hadn't wanted him to know about these things in recent years.
He Jingyu slowly explained:
"The Buddhist practice system is different from ours, and the realms are naturally different as well. They are divided into: monks, Dharma masters, compassionate ones, and Maha."
"It is said that the reincarnation of Mahata requires nine lifetimes of cultivation in order to attain the Dharma form."
Upon hearing this, Li Wu frowned deeply, thinking to himself:
"This Buddhist practice is so awkward."
He Jingyu then continued:
"You are now cultivating the [Divine Thunder] path, and you are destined for the Thunder Palace. For those reincarnated Maha, this is an immense destiny."
