Chapter 306
On that night, Li Su spent the entire evening with Tao Yao. They didn’t do anything else. Tao Yao’s transformation made Li Su pay more attention to her as well. As time went on, Li Su noticed that Tao Yao’s episodes of spacing out were becoming more frequent. Sometimes, she would space out for no apparent reason while doing tasks. Li Su had thoroughly examined her body and soul and found no issues. Her bone age was still locked at 18 years old.
This made Li Su think that if Tao Yao was truly the reincarnation of an immortal, she might be in the process of regaining her memories now. Immortals’ reincarnations typically had a 12-year window for memory awakening. If they didn’t awaken, everything would be lost. Even if they were reincarnated as a genius, that genius would eventually become an immortal in their own right, and their connection to the immortal they were reincarnated from would be severed.
For the reincarnated immortal, the genius they become in their current life was similar to their past life. Even though there was still some connection, if there truly was a past life, their past self and their current self were, strictly speaking, two different individuals. If someone’s past life was a pig, did that mean they were still a pig now?
As for why Tao Yao didn’t have spiritual roots, it was actually quite simple.
The Sect Master Aunt also perused the book from the Eastern family, and, as she put it, detecting spiritual roots in a reincarnated immortal before their memory awakening was deemed impossible.
Li Su wanted to help Tao Yao, but his knowledge of reincarnated immortals was limited. Even the Holy Land had a restricted understanding of them at a deeper level, leaving Li Su uncertain about where to begin.
Strengthening her soul might be an option, but it wasn’t foolproof, carrying a risk of unintended consequences. A fundamental question gave Li Su pause—why couldn’t spiritual roots be detected in reincarnated immortals before their memory awakening?
In Li Su’s perspective, this might be due to the exceptionally extraordinary nature of the spiritual roots in reincarnated immortals. Most ordinary cultivators could start their cultivation at 12, but those with first-grade spiritual roots could begin as early as 10 or even 7 or 8 years old.
Li Su believed that if immortal sects discovered reincarnated immortals with exceptional spiritual roots before their memory awakening, they might aggressively nurture and train them, leading to negative consequences. This interference could affect the reincarnated immortal’s future cultivation and memory awakening.
Li Su refrained from hasty actions to avoid mishaps, believing that the easiest time for a reincarnated immortal to awaken their memories might be during their mortal state.
“Su Li, I’m not well-versed in this matter either. In our family records, the only two successful cases of immortals reincarnating were located by the sacred artifacts of the Immortal Union after they awakened their memories,” said the sect leader’s aunt.
Within the Flying Immortal Sect, Li Su sought guidance from the sect leader’s aunt once again.
“Purple Gold Holy Realm once protected a reincarnated immortal. There should be some related documents or books inside. If you need, I can contact Xiao Xue’s parents and see if we can get in touch with Senior Yunyan,” the Sect Master Aunt suggested.
“The Purple and Gold Sanctuary?”
Li Su paused and asked, “Aunt, do Master’s parents know that she’s here?”
“No, Xiao Xue didn’t want me to tell them,” the Sect Master Aunt replied.
“In that case, let’s not bring it up,” Li Su decided. The Sect Master did not wish to contact her own parents, and Li Su didn’t want to interfere. Moreover, tackling the Purple Gold Sacred Sanctuary might prove challenging. Even if they found a solution, Li Su’s current strength might not be up to the task, requiring items or knowledge unavailable in the Canglan Realm.
While the Canglan Realm was considered relatively powerful, it couldn’t compare to realms with sacred grounds. The more prosperous a realm, the denser the spiritual energy and the rarer celestial and terrestrial treasures. It was not just about energy concentration but also involved the rules and foundational principles of a realm.
For instance, in the Demon Cloud Realm, Li Su felt that its rules were inferior to those of the Canglan Realm. A few years later, Tao Yao’s episodes of spacing gradually disappeared. Sёarch* The NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
It’s a failure, Li Su thought. Tao Yao’s memory awakening had failed this time. She must have faced similar failures before. If it were any other reincarnated immortal who failed before 12, they would be considered a lost cause. However, Tao Yao’s age was locked, so she had multiple chances. However, memory awakening was an extraordinarily challenging task for her.
This time, she would only occasionally zone out, and the longest episode lasted only a few minutes. She didn’t even manage to retrieve any fragments of her memories from her past life. She wasn’t even aware of her spacing out. This indeed presented a significant difficulty. Li Su didn’t rush and focused on reaching the Fusion Realm first. The recent period remained calm. The Peak Master Dieyun was still in seclusion, so it seemed that Li Su might indeed reach Fusion before her. Another year passed, and during this year, Li Su’s descendants and spiritual roots descendants both reached a significant milestone. Once again, two waves of major rewards were on the horizon.
As expected, without any surprises, Li Su forcefully broke through the bottleneck, and his cultivation reached the pinnacle of the Refinement Realm. After reaching the pinnacle of the Refinement Void Perfection, he had some surplus cultivation, which he could use to accumulate energy for the Fusion Realm. After reaching the pinnacle of the Refinement Realm, the next step was to strive for Fusion.
