Lin Yun fell into silence.
He was, of course, aware of the risks of soul reincarnation.
For those who had achieved immortality before reincarnating, the higher their realm, the higher the realm needed to awaken their memories after reincarnation.
Although cultivation in the Ancestral Land was easier than in the Cultivation Continent, it was still incredibly difficult for those at the bottom.
Moreover, the Ancestral Land was rife with slaughter, and the lives of those at the bottom were as insignificant as ants. Even if one grew smoothly, they might be killed before their memories could awaken.
“Even if I reincarnate successfully and awaken my memories, wouldn’t I have to start cultivating my realm and physical body from scratch?” Lin Yun asked.
Lin Yun’s journey to his current realm and mid-stage Indestructible Divine Body had been far from easy.
To start all over again? Lin Yun couldn’t even bear to think about it.
“The Infinite Heaven Palace does have a method to preserve your physical body. After your soul reincarnates, as long as you awaken your memories, we also have a way to let you return to your original body,” the bearded man said.
Lin Yun’s eyes lit up slightly at this.
It was similar to what happened with Wang Xue. She had eventually reclaimed her body and restored her strength.
“The physical body and realm can be preserved, but what about my cultivation realm?” Lin Yun couldn’t help but ask.
“If your physical body and elixir sea remain intact, as long as you return to your body within five hundred years, your realm will still be there. At most, it will take some time to recover gradually. But if it exceeds five hundred years, your realm will dissipate,” the bearded man said.
Lin Yun nodded in understanding.
The greatest risk lay in failing to awaken memories after soul reincarnation.
If he took this path, it would be an all-or-nothing gamble. Failure would mean complete ruin.
Although he had now found a new method, the cost and risk were indeed immense.
“How about this? Come with me to take the test first. We’ll discuss further after the test,” the bearded man said.
If Lin Yun failed the test, the Infinite Heaven Palace would not recruit him, and the bearded man wouldn’t need to consider these matters further.
If Lin Yun passed the test, they could address these issues then.
“That’s the only option,” Lin Yun nodded.
Simply participating in the test didn’t mean joining the Infinite Heaven Palace outright. For Lin Yun, trying it out wouldn’t cost him anything.
“Let’s go then,” the bearded man said, putting his mask back on.
Lin Yun followed him out.
After leaving the reception hall, Lin Yun told Wu Chengtian he was heading out.
“Brother Lin Yun, will you return to the Wu Family Manor after this trip?” Wu Chengtian asked.
“I don’t know,” Lin Yun said with a smile, shrugging his shoulders.
He was uncertain about the path ahead and what the future held.
“No matter what, Brother Lin Yun, you’re always welcome at the Wu Family Manor. Our doors are open to you anytime,” Wu Chengtian said with a smile.
“Good. Brother Wu, please convey my thanks to Master Wu for his hospitality and help during this time. I’ll remember his kindness and the Wu Family Manor’s generosity,” Lin Yun said.
After bidding farewell, Lin Yun followed the bearded man and left the Wu Family Manor.
Once outside, the two took to the air. Lin Yun didn’t know where they were going and simply followed the bearded man.
In the air, Lin Yun said, “Senior, you don’t even know which force I’m part of. Aren’t you afraid that after I complete the test and leave, I might inform the six major forces that destroyed the Infinite Heaven Palace about you?”
The bearded man replied, “A cunning rabbit has three burrows. We have far more than three hiding places. The place I’m taking you to isn’t particularly important to us. We use it and move on.”
After all, the Infinite Heaven Palace had been destroyed back then. The surviving seeds would naturally be extremely cautious.
Although Lin Yun held the Infinite Token, he hadn’t officially joined the Infinite Heaven Palace, so they couldn’t fully trust him and would remain wary.
Lin Yun noticed that the bearded man wasn’t heading toward the Nine Domains of the Human Race but deeper into the Ancestral Heart Realm.
The situation in the Ancestral Heart Realm was far more complex than in the Nine Domains. It wasn’t surprising that the surviving seeds of the Infinite Heaven Palace chose to hide here.
After three days of continuous travel, the bearded man brought Lin Yun to a remote valley in the Ancestral Heart Realm.
There stood a small castle, capable of holding only a few thousand people at most, unremarkable in appearance.
“This is the place,” the bearded man said, leading Lin Yun directly into the castle.
In the central square of the castle, two men and two women were already standing.
“Senior Brother!” the four greeted the bearded man with a bow.
“Senior Brother, is this the guy you mentioned?” a red-haired man asked, sizing up Lin Yun.
“Let me introduce him. This is Lin Yun, the fated one who holds the Infinite Token,” the bearded man said.
