Regarding the Dao of Reincarnation, since it can be named alongside Time and Space as the Three Supreme Laws, it is the most fundamental and mysterious rule of this realm.

It can be said that the three thousand Great Daos and all things in the world are interdependent with these three Supreme Laws, having countless connections.

Reincarnation has always been an obscure and difficult matter to understand, involving reincarnation and the transmigration of souls.

However, those who cultivate immortality pursue the Great Dao of longevity, naturally hoping to escape reincarnation. The myriad living beings who have failed to truly cultivate immortality and achieve longevity will inevitably fall into reincarnation after death.

As for what one experiences after entering reincarnation, it seems that no one can truly explain it clearly.

In this regard, Han Li speculated that perhaps when he planted two cultivation methods in Li Yuanjiu's sea of consciousness, he left behind some of his own spiritual aura or something else. Now that Li Yuanjiu had detected it, he mistakenly thought that he was the reincarnation of that Ling Yunzi.

Now, Li Yuanjiu is a Dao Ancestor, even the Heavenly Court must give way to him. But in his heart, he inevitably carries some affection for his former teacher, so today there is this talk of karma.

That he could escape death today can be considered fate, determined in the dark.

"Hey, hey, Uncle, what are you dazing about? Where should we go next?" Jin Tong tugged on Han Li's arm and shook him, asking.

Disturbed by her, Han Li finally came back to his senses. He carefully looked around, but only saw the vast ocean.

Immediately afterward, he took out the jade slip that Lan Yan had given him, which contained the map of the Jiu Yuan Temple, and pressed it to his brow to examine it carefully.

"It seems that we are no longer in the territory of the Jiu Yuan Temple. However, to be on the safe side, we should leave the Da Jin Yuan Immortal Territory as soon as possible," Han Li said after a moment.

With that, he found a direction and sped away with Jin Tong.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

In a strange, gray space, a beautiful woman in a blue dress was suspended in the air, flying upstream along a dark red river, towards the source of the river.

This woman was none other than Jiao San, who had escaped from the chaos of the Jiu Yuan Temple.

This was her first time entering this strange space in physical form. Her body was constantly suppressed by a strange Heavenly Dao, and she only dared to operate the power of the Reincarnation Law with all her might, flying over the dark red river.

Adjacent to this river were five other rivers, each with different colors and scenes, and each with its own unique power. Jiao San didn't dare to even take a second glance, let alone overstep the mark in the slightest.

After flying for hundreds of miles, even Jiao San herself didn't know how long it had taken. She finally saw the crystal arch bridge standing at the source of the six rivers.

Unlike the last time she transmitted her spirit into this place, the woman in black on the beach under the stone arch bridge was gone. Only the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace, with a large head, a huge hat, and a heavy raincoat, was still sitting cross-legged on the stone arch bridge.

Today, he still maintained the same posture as when she last saw him, with his back bent, holding the green bamboo pole with white spots in his hand. A dark red crystal thread hung from the end of the pole, dangling into the water, leisurely fishing.

"Greetings, Palace Lord."

Jiao San came to the stone arch bridge, landed, and bowed to his back.

"This is your first time coming here in physical form. To be able to persevere until now without any change in expression, your cultivation level and state of mind should have improved again, right? It's just that there are some dark marks between your eyebrows. You must have been injured. Why didn't you wait until you recovered before coming?" The Lord of the Reincarnation Palace remained in his fishing posture, not even turning his head, but speaking.

"Reporting to the Palace Lord, it's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious," Jiao San said upon hearing this.

"Accumulating soil to form mountains, wind and rain arise from it, is the way to build momentum. A thousand-mile dike collapses due to an ant's nest is the way to defeat. Don't underestimate the methods of the Jiu Yuan Temple. This little injury is not that simple," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said without turning his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand. The dark red crystal thread hanging in the river immediately shot up, making a light "pop" sound.

At the end of the crystal thread, a dark red crystal fish was hooked. It twisted its body in mid-air, tumbling like a carp, and shot towards Jiao San's brow.

Jiao San's body swayed slightly, as if she wanted to dodge, but she quickly stabilized herself again, allowing the crystal fish to flash with light and fly into her forehead, disappearing without a trace.

Immediately afterward, a layer of red halo lit up from between her eyebrows, and then rippled outwards.

Jiao San's entire pretty face immediately turned red, and vaguely visible inside were strands of glowing red crystal threads, constantly swimming under her skin.

After more than ten breaths, the red light gradually faded, and the strange phenomena on her face finally disappeared.

"Thank you, Palace Lord." As soon as she returned to normal, Jiao San immediately bowed down, her face full of joy.

At the same time, the dark mark between her eyebrows had completely disappeared. Not only had all the injuries on her body been swept away, but even dozens of Immortal Apertures had been fully connected in the short ten breaths just now.

"Tell me, how did things go?" At this time, the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace finally asked.

"The item has been obtained," Jiao San replied succinctly.

She knew that this was the only thing the Palace Lord cared about. As for how many losses there were in the operation, he wouldn't care.

With that, Jiao San turned her wrist, and a burst of colorful light appeared in her palm. The five-colored small bottle then emerged from it, and a strong wave of spiritual power emanated from the bottle.

Feeling the fluctuations coming from behind him, the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace turned his wrist, put away the fishing rod, and stood up.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace, who originally looked somewhat hunched over, appeared quite tall and majestic after standing up. However, when he turned around, the wide hat still covered his face, making it impossible to see clearly.

He casually waved his hand, and the five-colored bottle flew out of Jiao San's hand and into his hand.

Jiao San stood aside respectfully, waiting for the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace's instructions.

"Haha..." The latter carefully examined it for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Palace Lord, why are you laughing?" Jiao San asked somewhat puzzled.

"As expected of the founding ancestor of the Jiu Yuan Temple, you were tricked by Li Yuanjiu." The Lord of the Reincarnation Palace casually tossed the five-colored bottle back to Jiao San and said slowly.

"Palace Lord, are you saying that the item we obtained..." Jiao San caught the bottle with a look of displeasure and asked hesitantly.

"Is just a replacement fake," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said.

"Palace Lord, your subordinate deserves to die..." Jiao San's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and she hurriedly knelt down to confess her guilt.

"Get up. This matter can't be blamed on you. After all, before you went, I didn't tell you what exactly you were looking for. This five-colored bottle is modeled after the Palm Heaven Bottle. Both the materials used and the refining techniques are first-class. It is already comparable to a Second Grade Immortal Artifact. It's understandable that you were deceived," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said.

"Please give us another chance, Palace Lord. This time, your subordinate will definitely bring back the real item," Jiao San said, still clasping her fists without getting up.

"This time the commotion was so great that, next, not to mention the Jiu Yuan Temple, even the entire Jin Yuan Immortal Territory will be thoroughly investigated. You will have no chance to infiltrate it again. Moreover, since Li Yuanjiu personally showed up this time, the fact that you were able to return almost unscathed represents an attitude of his. We cannot turn a blind eye to it," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said, turning his back and pondering.

"Palace Lord, are you saying that our successful escape this time was intentional by Li Yuanjiu? Given the relationship between the Jiu Yuan Temple and the Heavenly Court... why would he do this?" Jiao San asked, slightly stunned.

"The reasons I can think of are twofold. One is that he hopes we know that his Jiu Yuan Temple is unwilling to fight us to the death. The second is that he hopes to use this opportunity to prove his innocence," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said.

"The Heavenly Court, acting on Huo Yuan's advice, sent the Feng Tian Immortal Envoy to the Jiu Yuan Temple with him this time, wanting to take the opportunity to investigate what exactly Li Yuanjiu had created. As a result, the Feng Tian Immortal Envoy was killed by us, and the item created was snatched away by us in broad daylight. Now, the Heavenly Court will indeed not suspect them," Jiao San immediately understood the key point upon hearing this.

"Li Yuanjiu is very good at concealing. Back then, their Palm Heaven Bottle was a treasure coveted by many top forces. As a result, they obtained it and lost it again, searching for it for many years. Now they have imitated such a five-colored bottle, which seems indeed reasonable. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Court is not so easy to fool," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said with a smile.

"Your subordinate dares to ask, Palace Lord, what exactly did the Jiu Yuan Temple create that would make the Heavenly Court so cautious?" Jiao San hesitated again and again before asking.

The Lord of the Reincarnation Palace smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Seeing this, Jiao San did not speak, but stood quietly.

"Afterward, don't reveal any news about what we obtained. Stop all activities in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory. The movements in some of the adjacent Immortal Territories can be made a little louder," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said after a while.

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiao San's eyes upon hearing this.

"No matter what the Jiu Yuan Temple created, as long as no definite news is spread, the Heavenly Court can only speculate out of thin air. The more they suspect, the greater the rift with the Jiu Yuan Temple," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace continued.

"Your subordinate obeys," Jiao San exclaimed in enlightenment.

"Remember, the seeds of suspicion, once planted, will take root and sprout, growing stronger and stronger. This is a good thing for us. The time ahead is running out. We have other things to do," the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace said slowly, looking into the distance at the six distant rivers under the bridge.
