Rebirth Into A New World

Great Sage Mo was distraught for wasting the good chance he got when he had the opportunity to impart his soul into the blank body of the sacred baby. This had now caused him to miss having his own sacred spirit body.

When Sage Mo's godly knowledge was about to enter this baby's blank body and take it over, he found out that the baby's blank existence had been enthralled by the soul of Linley.

Sage Mo could decide to forcefully wipe out Linley's soul from the baby's body, but doing so would only inflict great damage to the baby's existence. It would, irreparably, turn the baby into a dumb person. This was also a great disaster for Great Sage Mo.

Hearing this, Linley couldn't help himself but said. "Great Sage, what of if all this is just a dream! After a while, I'll wake up and all this would no longer exist to me. Then, you'll be able to control this baby's body by then!"

"Dreamworld?" Sage Mo couldn't help but mutter. "Ah, I really want to pinch you to death."

"No need of pinching me to death, Great Sage." Linley suddenly realized the extent of the situation he was in. If he was to die in this world, it would also be the end of Great Sage Mo's life. So he asked. "Then, Great Sage, what plans do you have for the future? Do you want to find another body of a Sacred Spirit or....?"

"Haha!" Sage Mo laughed miserably. "Look for another one? What do you think the Sacred Spirit Body is? On the entire Sacred Spirit Continent, there hadn't been a sacred spirit body like yours for thousands of years. This old man was only fortunate to find you at the right time. For now, I can't exist outside this body. And I'm too weak to begin another sacred search, even if another one exists, which I doubt."

After Linley listened to this information, he fell silent. After a long time, he said. "You can only occupy a sacred spirit body which, probably, only appears once in five, ten thousand years? That means I'm stuck in here with you."

Sage Mo sighed. "Oh, think nothing of it. This is heaven's will, and heaven's will can't be undone. You know what? This old man is also lucky to have you. Although my body is gone, my divine consciousness still exists. I can only stay with you, but won't interfere in your ways. This way, I would keep my consciousness in finding another body when I get strong enough. For now, try not to die. If you die, I die. Alright?"

"I see."

"No, you don't." Sage Mo angrily added. "This is not a dream. Don't think you are dreaming, because you're not. Have you ever seen such a real dream like this before? I advise you to face this now. The earlier the better for you."

After listening to Sage Mo's words, Linley couldn't help himself falling into silence again.

Was he really not dreaming? Linley was doubting the authenticity of everything in front of him before, but now, he was beginning to think otherwise. He had encountered things in his dreams before, that made him realize he was dreaming, and when his consciousness aligned, he would wake up immediately.

But this time was different. Linley had tried to wake himself up many times, but this dream was still going on: Was it all true? Was he reincarnated? So, was the previous Linley dead?

Linley couldn't help thinking of his mother. Since the death of his father, he had become the only spiritual sustenance of his mother. If he became stuck in this place, how would his mother live?

While Linley was thinking about all this, the voice of Sage Mo suddenly sounded in his mind. "Hm, through your memory, I also understand that you have great personality. Since you have appeared in our world, then your body in your home world must have returned back to nature. So, no need to reminisce about your past, but focus on your future."

After hearing the sudden voice of the old Sage, Linley quickly free his mind of every thought, and muttered. "Great Sage, you can go ahead and do what you have to do. I know you've got a lot."

Linley finally came to a conclusion that even if it was just a dream, it shouldn't be worse than his previous life. For the meantime, he wouldn't worry about the big issues but let his mind be at ease, and see where it all ends.

"Yes, I do, child." Then, Sage sighed. "I've suffered massively from the tribulations. I only managed to escape with my soul. My soul is greatly injured, so I must meditate to repair my injured consciousness."

After hearing the old Sage's words, Linley immediately asked. "Great Sage, you don't have to worry. I assure you that as long as I'm living, I'll act accordingly. By the way, I don't know how long you'll be gone for?"

Sage Mo pondered for a moment, and couldn't help sighing. "I'm not sure about that either. Probably five years, or even decades, but I'll leave you a thread of my spirit knowledge before I commence my meditation. Child, only when your life is threatened should you wake me up, is that clear?"

Linley nodded.

Then, Sage Mo continued. "This world is totally different from the one you know. Everywhere is full of death aura. Humans rely on cultivation. You must form a soul foundation as soon as possible. This is the only path to being a spiritual master."

"I understand."

"Good. I have a cultivation technique here that allows you to cultivate your spiritual power from now on. But you must know that its extremely hard to practice. It will push your body and soul to the limit that you'll even think death has come for you. It's only in this way, that your cultivation level will several years faster than the others, and when you grow up to condense your spirit crystals, you'll be farther away. Isn't that extraordinary that you can only practice it because of your unique physical body? Anyway, I've imprinted this technique in your awareness. So, you should be able to practice it as long as you comprehend it's nature in the future."

After Linley had listened, he felt that his mind had suddenly became clear. There seemed to be many symbols imprinted in his consciousness. After carefully feeling it, the cultivation technique suddenly appeared clearly in his mind, and it was truly amazing.

Sage Mo said. "Alright, the technique has been transferred to you. From now on, you'll regard me as your master and I'll treat you as my disciple. Hahaha! I couldn't believe that I've lived alone all my life, and now only a trace of spiritual knowledge remains in my consciousness. But don't worry. I'll teach you all I know as my disciple."

Hearing this, Linley quickly said respectfully. "I, disciple Linley, will definitely cultivate well and not insult the prestige of his mentor!" 

He thought to himself that whether this was a dream or not, he would do his best to face it. When he woke up, it would be a great pleasure to have a good aftertaste.

Sage Mo nodded, and then said. "Well, my words as your master stop here, for now. If you have any questions, save it for later. You have to do things for yourself, for now."

Linley quickly said. "Master, I still have a question to ask."

"Are you not paying attention? I told you I've got some important and urgent things to do at this time." Sage Mo voiced, before sighing. "Okay, what's it?"

Linley quickly said. "Master, there's one thing I still don't understand. I don't know why I can understand your words, but can't make sense of what others are saying."

"Hmm." After listening to Linley, Sage Mo nodded immediately and said. "As your master, I'm communicating with you through the divine consciousness that connects us. I'm an immortal cultivator if I may remind you. Others can't use the same means to communicate with you, unless they're immortals or they're connected to your mind."

Afterwards, Sage Mo glanced at Linley's sea of ​​consciousness, and said. "Everything is in place. Now I'm going into deep meditation. You have to take care of yourself for now, and don't relent in your cultivation."

"Yes, master. I won't forget." Linley replied respectfully.

When he heard no response from the old Sage, he knew it was time for himself to be silent. So, he began to mull over the information he had acquired.

A few minutes later, he realized all of a sudden that the voices around him had become comprehensively clearer.

"Matriarch, what's the child's name?"

"We have decided to name our Ley!"

"Lin Ley."
