Chapter 218: Chapter 217 Qin Haoran_1

At this time, everyone was no longer standing in the courtyard. Li Haoran’s parents, along with everyone else, moved to the guest living room. As the youngest one present, Qin Yanyan served tea and poured water for everyone.

By age, Qin Yanyan’s age was similar to Li Haoran’s, Lu Yang’s, and Meng Jingzhou’s.

But birth order was in place here.

“My husband in Li Haoran’s past life, his name was Qin Haoran, a cultivator at the peak of the Unification stage,”

Su Yiren revealed a name no one had heard before.

Everyone present had different expressions, Li Haoran’s parents didn’t expect their son to have such an origin.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked like they wanted to listen to the gossip, but felt like it was a hassle.

Although Qin Yanyan didn’t accept Li Haoran’s identity, she also wanted to listen to her mother talk about her father. Her mother seldom mentioned her father.

Li Haoran was expressionless, he had given up resistance, thinking about how things would develop.

Perhaps because she had held it in her heart for too long, or perhaps because she had fallen into memories, or for some other reason altogether, Su Yiren’s speech became smoother as she talked.

“My meeting with Qin Haoran was five hundred years ago when I was living in seclusion in the mountains. I was a hermit cultivator then, only coming down from the mountain every ten years to pay taxes,” she began.

“One day while I was meditating in the mountains, a bloody figure smashed through the barrier I had set up and fell headlong into the ground. When he saw me approaching, he instinctively tried to gather his strength to protect himself, but his injuries were too severe for him to use magic. He soon fell unconscious.”

“I found him pitiful and saved him. It took him a month to regain consciousness.”

“When he woke up he was very guarded, but when he realized I had been taking care of him for a month, he lowered his guard and thanked me for saving his life.”

Su Yiren instinctively left out some details, like when Qin Haoran’s injuries were internal, but she wrapped all over his body in white cloth and plaster, making him look like a mummy just woke up.

Or the fact that without Su Yiren’s care, Qin Haoran could have woken up two weeks earlier.

These were all irrelevant details, and it made no difference whether they were spoken or not.

“He told me his name was Qin Haoran, a cultivator at the Unification stage. A month earlier, he was attacked by an enemy and, though he managed to kill his attackers, he sustained very grave injuries. Also, he apologized for damaging the barrier I had set.”

“I noticed that he wasn’t lying. Even though he had woken up, he could only use a tiny fragment of his magic powers, his body was extremely wounded, with all his meridians severed, it was a terrible situation.”

“He originally wanted to leave, but I was worried that he would encounter danger again. So, I told him he could stay.”

“He stayed in the mountain for recuperation, and over time, we developed feelings for each other and got married.”

“Our wedding was very low-key. We only invited the spirits of the mountains and those friends who had a good relationship with us.”

“After his injuries healed, he was busy day after day. When I asked him what he was doing, and if he needed any help, he said that what he was doing was dangerous, and it was safest if I didn’t know anything.”

“Trusting him, I didn’t press further.”

“In the span of five hundred years, Haoran gradually rose from the late Unification phase to the peak of the Unification phase. He was only one step away from the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. He said that he had always been pure and desireless before, thinking that was the best state for cultivation. It was only after he met me and married me that he realized his previous thoughts were wrong.”

“During our time together, his solid barrier loosened, and his cultivation level improved consistently.”

“I asked him why my cultivation did not improve. He said it might be due to my lack of innate talent for cultivation.”

“It’s extremely difficult for high-level cultivators to have offspring. We struggled for five hundred years before we finally conceived Yanyan.”

“Afterward, he said he had reached the threshold of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and was only one Heavenly Tribulation away. He wanted to fight for a future for our daughter and me.”

“Passing the tribulation is too high risk. I wanted to persuade him not to, but he said his identity was too special. If he did not become a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, he could only live in obscurity and we would never see the light of day. Only by achieving the Transcendance Tribulation Stage could he change this situation.”

“Unfortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying. Despite numerous preparations, he couldn’t withstand the final Thunder Tribulation and fell from the sky.”

“Crying, I caught him to save him by wildly stuffing various top-grade elixirs in his mouth. But he said he knew his condition best and knew he could not possibly survive.”

“He told me not to worry. He has practiced a certain kind of skill that allows him to reincarnate continuously with higher aptitude in each life. Qin Haoran was his eighth reincarnation.”

“Originally, he wanted to tell his subordinates about his reincarnation so they could help take care of his next life and ensure their successful growth. However, he later felt that his subordinates couldn’t be trusted, so he asked me to take care of his next life.”

“He told me the secret method to find his next life. Following the method, I found Yanyan’s Aunt who was pregnant.”

“When Yanyan’s aunt and uncle encountered danger, I saved them. Afterwards, I established an engagement with Haoran, who was in her belly, hoping to continue our previous connection.”

Li Haoran looked puzzled. “Didn’t you suspect that this was a lie Qin Haoran made up before his death?”

Su Yiren shook her head lightly. “I did have doubts, but your talent is irrefutable. During the Spirit Root test when you were six years old, I was hiding in the dark. I personally witnessed the result of the test indicating that you were a Fire Spirit Root.”

“No matter how good Haoran was, he couldn’t just pick a random person and determine that they were a Single Spiritual Root.”

“What if Qin Haoran had a way to predict others’ talents?” Li Haoran was still reluctant to give up.

Su Yiren said with a smile, “I know you still don’t entirely believe what I’ve said. Time will prove everything. Haoran said that as his next life’s cultivation level increases, his next life will gain some fragments of his previous life’s memory.”

“But you don’t have to worry that these fragments will interfere with your personality, you are still you.”

When it came to the high-minded topic of reincarnation, Lu Yang turned to Fairy Eternity whom he knew had insight into many ancient mysteries.

“Fairy, is there really such a thing as reincarnation?”

“From the time preceding the ancient times, there was talk of reincarnation. In that era, there were many geniuses. There would always be people saying that a person of exceptional talent was the reincarnation of so-and-so, and there were also people saying that our successful Immortal ascensions were the reincarnations of so-and-so.”

“Since the ascensions of us five, we have joined forces to reveal the mysteries of the world. We found that there was no such thing as reincarnation in the world, and these rumors were just figments of people’s imaginations.”

“Does that mean Qin Haoran was really lying?” Lu Yang was surprised as he really thought that Li Haoran was the reincarnation of Qin Haoran.

Fairy Eternity shook her head. “I only said that there was no reincarnation in the ancient times, not that there isn’t any now.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Yang was even more confused.

“You have to understand, the appearance of each Dao Fruit signifies the birth of a new rule in the world. What if, during my absence, someone condensed the ‘Reincarnation’ Dao Fruit?”

“In that case, wouldn’t the theory of reincarnation become real?”
