 Chapter 3277: Little Mei Doesn't Want It

Lin Moyu didn't linger long in Dragon God City. His destination for this trip was the Netherworld race.

Because of Little Mei, they weren't traveling very fast. It would still take quite some time to reach the Netherworld race.

Although he wasn't in a big hurry, it wasn't good to delay too long either.

The matters in the dragon race ancestral grounds no longer had anything to do with him, so he could naturally withdraw after accomplishing his task.

Leaving Dragon God City, Little Mei curiously asked with her big eyes, "Teacher, aren't we going to say goodbye to Clan Leader Long Wei?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "She'll be very busy next. We can come back another time when there's a chance."

Little Mei made a sound of acknowledgment. She now obeyed Lin Moyu completely, believing whatever he said was right.

Lin Moyu carried the elder dragon scale, so all the dragons they encountered on the road respectfully greeted him, calling him "Elder".

The news that the dragon race had a new honorary elder had already been spread throughout the entire dragon race on Long Wei's orders.

Later, Lin Moyu became somewhat annoyed by this, so he simply put the elder dragon scale back in his storage space.

The miraculous storage space blocked the aura of the elder dragon scale, finally giving Lin Moyu some peace.

Little Mei giggled, "Teacher, you said earlier in Dragon God City that Little Mei had something special. What's special about me?"

Lin Moyu reached into his storage space and took out a blue pearl.

Little Mei's reincarnation treasure was glowing, accompanied by a faint sound.

Little Mei's eyes lit up, staring unblinkingly at the reincarnation treasure, "Teacher, I feel like this thing is calling to me. It's such a strange feeling."

Lin Moyu said, "Little Mei now knows the major realms of cultivators."

Little Mei nodded and recited the major realms like she knew them by heart, "The weakest is the Transcendent realm, the strongest is the ninth level Dao Venerable realm. I must definitely become a top expert at the ninth level Dao Venerable realm in the future."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "No, there are even stronger realms above the ninth level Dao Venerable realm. For example, that Elder Sheng we saw before is stronger than ninth level Dao Venerable."

Little Mei asked curiously, "Stronger than ninth level Dao Venerable, what realm is that?"

Lin Moyu said, "Little Mei will know soon. It's just that breaking through to that realm is very difficult and very dangerous."

"Some people cultivate to the ninth level Dao Venerable realm and feel they can't break through further, so they choose to dissolve their body and reincarnate. They want to use the method of reincarnation and recultivation to allow themselves to break through the ninth level Dao Venerable realm in their new life."

"But the method of dissolving one's body and reincarnating is very dangerous. Out of a hundred people, not even one might succeed. The success rate is pitifully low."

Little Mei became even more curious, "Which is more dangerous, dissolving one's body to reincarnate or breaking through?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "Both are very dangerous, but there's a difference between the two. Cultivators at the ninth level Dao Venerable realm often have a premonition when breaking through. They might sense that their breakthrough won't be successful."

"But dissolving one's body to reincarnate is unpredictable. It's an unknown."

"So when faced with certain death or unknown death, they're very likely to choose to try dissolving their body and reincarnating."

Little Mei said, "Do they have to break through? Can't they just not break through? Isn't ninth level Dao Venerable already very powerful?"

Lin Moyu said, "Most Dao Venerables don't dare to break through, and don't dare to dissolve their body and reincarnate. They choose to wait. Wait for an opportunity, wait for the correct method to break through, wait for a chance that can let them break through."

"However, Dao Venerables have limited lifespans. They must make a choice before their time is up. Once they pass their peak, they lose the chance to choose. At that time, no matter which they choose, the result is the same."

Ninth level Dao Venerables also have their peak. After passing their peak, they start to decline, their power becoming weaker and weaker.

Most importantly, their dao heart loses its sharpness. No matter what they do, it's difficult to succeed.

Little Mei clicked her tongue, "It sounds so hard to choose."

Lin Moyu said, "But there are always brave people in the world. Some bravely try to break through, and some bravely choose to dissolve their body and reincarnate. Little Mei, if it were you, how would you choose?"

Little Mei tilted her little head and thought for a moment, "I'll listen to Teacher. However Teacher tells me to choose, that's how Little Mei will choose."

Lin Moyu laughed heartily and continued, "Actually, to break through the ninth level Dao Venerable realm, the most important thing is the soul. Souls are divided into innate and acquired. The process of breaking through is the process of the soul transforming from acquired to innate."

"Whether it's heavenly tribulation or dissolving one's body to reincarnate, it's actually a test. As long as one succeeds, the soul can transform from acquired to innate."

"However, with normal breakthrough, if successful, one becomes a Great Dao realm being with an innate soul, with stronger power and gaining immortality."

"If one dissolves their body to reincarnate, after succeeding, the soul can also transform to innate. They then walk the path of cultivation again, cultivating much faster than normal people, with vast destiny and constant lucky encounters."

"Once someone who dissolved their body and reincarnated cultivates back, their chance of breaking through to the Great Dao realm is extremely high. And after breaking through to the Great Dao realm, they'll be even stronger."

"So both choices have gains and losses."

Little Mei listened very seriously, drawing inferences from one instance to another.

She asked, not very certain, "Teacher, are you saying I'm someone who dissolved their body and reincarnated?"

Little Mei somewhat understood, but wasn't very sure.

Lin Moyu said, "That's right. Little Mei was born with an innate dao soul. Only those who dissolved their body and reincarnated can have an innate dao soul."

Little Mei's eyes showed surprise, "So you're saying, in my previous life, I successfully dissolved my body and reincarnated?"

Lin Moyu said, "You could say one-third was successful. Another third is in the reincarnation treasure. After successfully reincarnating, you still need to obtain the reincarnation treasure for the body dissolution to be complete."

Little Mei quickly asked, "Then what about the other third?"

Lin Moyu said, "The other third is to walk back to your former peak, then break through that peak. Only then can it be considered truly successful body dissolution and reincarnation."

Little Mei made a sound of acknowledgment, her eyes looking at the blue pearl in Lin Moyu's hand, "Is that my reincarnation treasure?"

Lin Moyu made a sound of agreement, "Yes, this is your reincarnation treasure. Previously the reincarnation treasure fell into the hands of Yellow Brow Ancient Buddha of the Buddhist clan. Your teacher has already gotten it back."

Little Mei knew Lin Moyu definitely didn't just ask for it back normally. There must have been fighting involved.

Lin Moyu said, "You didn't have a foundation before, so I was afraid you couldn't withstand the powerful force in the reincarnation treasure. Now that you're at the God King realm, it should be fine."

"But before giving you the reincarnation treasure, I have a few words to say."

Little Mei responded seriously, "Please speak."

Lin Moyu said, "Your teacher admits, there was some self-interest in taking you as a disciple."

"The self-interest lies in destiny. Those who dissolve their body and reincarnate are born with great destiny. Taking you as a disciple allows your teacher to receive the blessing of your destiny, which benefits your teacher's cultivation."

"But that's not the whole reason. Little Mei truly has extraordinary talent, and your teacher is willing to take you as a disciple."

"After absorbing the reincarnation treasure, you may awaken memories of your previous life. At that time, no matter what choice you make, your teacher won't blame you."

To obtain Little Mei's destiny required Little Mei to sincerely acknowledge him as her teacher.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't conceal his true purpose. He told Little Mei everything he was thinking.

As for what choice Little Mei would make in the end, that was Little Mei's freedom. Lin Moyu wouldn't interfere.

If Little Mei didn't acknowledge him in the end and he didn't get her destiny, Lin Moyu wouldn't do anything either.

Choices sometimes go wrong. He would just consider this choice of his to have been a mistake. Apart from wasting some time, there wouldn't be any major consequences.

He held out the reincarnation treasure, but Little Mei didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she shook her head like a rattle drum, "Little Mei doesn't want it!"
