Chapter 356 Green Willow Above Reincarnation

Kui Shengge nodded to Xue Lan:

"Ruzi can be taught!"

The middle-aged man looked at Xue Lan and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm telling you this matter today? Is it feasible?"

Xue Lan lowered her eyes, silently reciting the word "reincarnation" in her heart, her expression slowly becoming solemn.

"It's because of the soul-summoning ritual."

Kui Shengge smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's because of your little sword spirit."

The middle-aged man continued, “The great war ten thousand years ago caused the Yellow Springs Reincarnation in the Yuanming Realm to be incomplete. Those who were killed or injured by the demons could not enter the reincarnation and had to merge into the earth’s veins.”

Xue Lan continued Kui Shengge's words: "The demon race is bloodthirsty by nature. Those killed by the demon race often harbor great resentment. This resentment merges into the earth's veins and flows along the water veins where yin energy gathers to form miasma, which will one day threaten the lower realm."

Kui Shengge nodded, confirming Xue Lan's conjecture: "The Heavenly Green Willow is located in Yandu, in the southwest of the lower realm, at an extremely low altitude. All the evil energy gathers here and merges into its root system. For the past ten thousand years..."

Xue Lan's voice was somewhat hoarse: "For the past ten thousand years, that senior has been using his own body to transmit this malevolent energy to comfort those departed souls."

It has been like this for thousands of years, never stopping.

"Zhu Qing and I are old friends of ten thousand years. Back then, we fought against the demon god together and reached the southern region of the Yuanming Realm. One of us sacrificed his soul to become an array, while the other was rooted in the Yellow Springs and could not be freed for ten thousand years."

Kui Shengge's voice was slightly hoarse: "At this point, ten thousand years have passed. My original intention remains unchanged, but I am thinking of bringing it to an end."

The middle-aged man's deep eyes looked at Xue Lan, a hint of anticipation in them: "Your little sword spirit is the embodiment of the lingering resentment of the heroic souls who died in the Yuanming Realm, naturally possessing an absolute attraction to those remnant souls scattered in the earth's veins. This time, it has also gained the approval of reincarnation..."

As Kui Shengge finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly to look at Xue Lan, as if waiting for Xue Lan's response.

Xue Lan spoke softly, "This junior understands."

The woman's grey eyes were calm, and her voice was steady and composed:

"But the soul-summoning is not Xue Lan's property; this matter should be asked of her herself."

Xue Lan smiled gently, her smile tinged with apology: "Senior, please forgive me. Whether I am a demon or a human, I am always driven by personal feelings and cannot be truly pure."

Kui Shengge laughed heartily and took another sip of wine:

"These are the sentient beings of my Yuanming Realm. Mountain and water spirits, city gods and local deities all favor their own territories. Where in this world can one find the ultimate selflessness?"

Hearing his bold words, Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh.

“Senior, Xue Lan will consider this matter. Right now, we should go to Yandu to see Senior Qingliu before making a decision.”

"But Xue Lan is just a lowly wolf demon, her words carry little weight, I'm afraid..."

Kui Shengge's lips twitched.

A mere wolf demon? With little influence or power?

Do you want to listen to whether what you're saying is even human language?

However, the Demon Lord thought again, although Xue Lan had indeed offended heaven and earth in his previous life, kicking the elite of the demon race and punching the noble families of the upper realm.

But right now he's just a minor cultivator from the lower realms. If he were to die in this Siyao River, things would be difficult to handle.

After brainwashing herself, Kui Shenge looked at Xue Lan and inexplicably felt that this man's extortion was reasonable.

It's just a small benefit, isn't it?

Lei Kui, the Demon Lord, touched himself all over.

It's just a small benefit...

Lei Kui, the Demon Lord, touched his right hand, his face showing signs of chapped skin.

Xue Lan then took out a brush and ink from his sleeve:

"I have long admired your formation techniques, senior."

The steps were already placed beneath her feet, and Kui Shengge gracefully stepped onto them.

I never imagined that he would one day be reduced to selling out formations.

The middle-aged man was indignant, but he didn't show it on his face. He wrote with great speed and skill, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had drawn a very abstract array diagram for Xue Lan.

Xue Lan took it and used her divine sense to examine the circles and crosses on it. There were also some incomprehensible runes...

"Senior, this is..." The woman's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if she was embarrassed to speak.

Kui Shengge waved his hand dismissively: "Go find Yan Chengxue, he'll understand."

Xue Lan, who had always kept meticulous and standardized notes since childhood, thought to herself:

"Could this be the secret method of passing on knowledge?"

After drawing the array diagram for Xue Lan, Kui Shengge looked at the jade pendant floating in front of Xue Lan.

The middle-aged man slowly raised his hand and channeled another wisp of his own energy into the jade pendant.

"Take this with you, Zhu Qing won't make things difficult for you."

Xue Lan actually wanted to ask, is your friendship of ten thousand years reliable?

I don't want to be like that senior Aoyagi who hung me on a tree and drained me dry.

However, to save Kui Shenge's face, Xue Lan ultimately didn't ask.

Although he's a very good-tempered senior, even a clay figure has some earthy temper. Don't say the wrong thing and get beaten up.

After Kui Shengge finished explaining the situation, seeing that the young girl behind Xue Lan seemed to be returning, the middle-aged man bowed slightly to Xue Lan:

"Little Silver Wolf, you must keep your promise to me."

"This seat and Zhu Qing have been waiting for this liberation for ten thousand years."

Xue Lan nodded solemnly:

"The contract is made, and it will last forever."

Kui Shengge laughed loudly: "What a fine contract! It's been made, and it will last for eternity!"

The middle-aged man smiled and took a small jar of wine from his sleeve:

"This jar of wine is for you!"

The middle-aged man's figure disappeared, and the jade pendant that had been floating in mid-air slowly landed in Xue Lan's hand.

The woman touched the small wine jar in her hand and, imitating Kui Shenge, picked up the red string on it.

Xue Lan's voice was a little hoarse:

"Old dreams last a thousand years in an instant, red ribbons, new wine, and old friends."

She intended to bring this wine to Tongtian Qingliu.

Xue Tong triumphed over her inner demons once again, and when she came to her senses, she saw Xue Lan sitting on the bed, holding a wine jar in her hands.

The girl pointed to what Xue Lan was holding:

"Where did this come from?"

Xue Lan smiled faintly: "A very kind old man just gave it to me."

Xue Tong smiled and said:

"Who is this kind-hearted old man?"

Xue Lan recounted everything Kui Shenge had said to Xue Tong, though some parts had been embellished by Lord Wolf.

Upon hearing that soul guiding was related to reincarnation, Xue Tong immediately spoke up:

"If reincarnation is involved, will it cause any harm to the soul guiding?"

Xue Lan shook her head: "We'll have to wait until we see the Heavenly Green Willow before discussing this matter."

A hint of melancholy appeared in Xue Tong's eyes.

"Now even the little soul guides have their own responsibilities."

Am I the only one with nothing to do?

Xue Lan chuckled softly: "No way! You have a very important mission."

Xue Tong smiled sweetly: "What mission?"

Xue Lan solemnly declared, "The historians of the mortal realm write history for posterity to judge."

"But the historians themselves are also part of history, so I don't think they are objective."

The woman smiled as she looked at Xue Tong:

"Xiao Tong, you are from another world."

The woman's voice was firm, powerful, and resounding:

"I want you to watch carefully and remember this well."

"Bear witness for my Yuanming Realm, no matter what the final outcome may be, the myriad beings of my Yuanming Realm shall bear witness!"

"We will never submit to the demons!"
