“With your current situation, completing the cultivation won't be a problem. Take these remaining two volumes of the cultivation method. When you reach the Great Completion stage and your divine soul is complete, you won't have to worry about going mad. But after completing the seventh layer, your path to reincarnation and cultivation in future lives will be severed. Consider whether you want to continue cultivating," said the Lord of Reincarnation Hall, glancing at him.

With that, he waved his hand, and a stream of light flashed, flying towards Han Li.

Han Li looked down and saw a white jade slip in his hand, containing the cultivation method for the last two layers of the Refinement Art.

“Actually, there is only one path before me, and that is to continue cultivating. As for the afterlife, if I were an ordinary person, living a mundane life, perhaps there would still be a chance for reincarnation. But as cultivators like us, once we embark on the path of cultivation, if we die one day, there may not be a chance for an afterlife," Han Li cupped his fist in salute, sighing softly.

“You are quite perceptive, decisive when necessary. In this world, only those who can see through this point can achieve selflessness and reach the Dao Ancestor realm."

After saying this, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall stopped speaking, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Han Li, seemingly hesitant.

Han Li waited for a moment, and seeing that the Lord of Reincarnation Hall remained silent, he said, "This junior has a question that has troubled me for many days. I wonder if Senior can answer it?"

"Speak," said the Lord of Reincarnation Hall.

"On that day, in the Nine Yuan Temple, I saw a woman using reincarnation techniques beside Daoist Jiao San. Her appearance and demeanor were very similar to an old friend of mine. May I ask where that Daoist friend is now? Could you allow this junior to meet her?" Han Li glanced at Jiao San and said.

Seeing this, Jiao San's eyes flickered slightly, and he involuntarily took a step back.

"You want to ask if that woman is your Dao companion from the lower realm, Nangong Wan?" the Lord of Reincarnation Hall asked indifferently.

Hearing this, Han Li's mind shook violently, but he remained calm on the surface. He really hadn't expected the Lord of Reincarnation Hall to be so direct.

Jiao San took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Han Li.

"Yes, that is what I want to ask," Han Li said, confirming in his heart that the woman must be Nangong Wan, otherwise, the other party wouldn't have asked in this way.

"The person you are asking about is right here, but she is not Nangong Wan. To be precise, she is not *your* Nangong Wan," the Lord of Reincarnation Hall said bluntly.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Lord of Reincarnation Hall.

Even though the other party seemed to have no malice towards him from the beginning and had even given him the last two layers of the Refinement Art and explained many reasons, things were different when it came to Nangong Wan.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had set his sights on longevity, giving up many things and letting down many people. But in the end, he still had a bottom line that absolutely could not be touched.

If he lost even this bottom line, then he would no longer be himself. Even if his cultivation was high, even if he existed with the heavens and earth, what would it matter?

Nangong Wan happened to be his inverse scale, one of his bottom lines, and the softest part of his heart.

"Since that Daoist friend is here, why not let her come out for a meeting? Whether she is my Dao companion or not, I will be able to tell," Han Li said slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly emerged from behind the stone tablet inscribed with the word "Reincarnation" and walked over gracefully.

Han Li shifted his gaze and saw a person dressed in a blue palace dress, with skin like congealed fat and a face like a celestial being. Her slightly pointed chin, delicate nose, and clear, intoxicating eyes—Han Li was so familiar with all of this, so moved by it, and felt an indescribable sense of warmth. Who else could it be but Nangong Wan?

But for some reason, Nangong Wan's aura was skyrocketing, although it still seemed somewhat unstable, it had actually reached the Grand Luo level. And what made Han Li even more strange was the expression on Nangong Wan's face when she saw him.

There was confusion, doubt, guilt, regret… but no joy of reunion after life and death!

"What did you do to her?" Han Li suddenly turned his head and said coldly to the Lord of Reincarnation Hall.

"Han… Daoist Han, don't be agitated. Lord, Lord, he… he just helped Mother restore her past life memories," Jiao San couldn't help but step forward and said.

"Mother? What mother?" Han Li was stunned and asked in confusion.

As he spoke, he moved forward, wanting to pull Nangong Wan back to his side.

Seeing this, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall didn't make any attempt to stop him. Jiao San moved his feet slightly, but eventually stopped in place.

Just as Han Li was about to grab Nangong Wan's soft, slender hand, Nangong Wan subconsciously took a step back, frowning at Han Li.

Han Li's raised hand froze in place, and he looked at Nangong Wan with disbelief, muttering:

"Wan'er…"

Hearing this call, Nangong Wan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Han Li blankly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a moist light, as if containing thousands of tender feelings and ten thousand twists and turns.

"Mother…" At this moment, Jiao San suddenly called out softly.

Nangong Wan, who was walking blankly towards Han Li, stopped and turned to look at Jiao San.

Jiao San raised his hand and stroked his face. A burst of black light scattered, and a black mask was removed. Two spiritual talismans flew out from behind his ears, revealing his true face for the first time without any concealment.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan came to Jiao San's front, examined him for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears.

"You are Jiu Zhen!" she asked, looking at Jiao San's face with joy, murmuring.

In the dark, she could feel the connection of blood between them.

Jiao San nodded heavily, tears rolling down his cheeks, weeping silently.

Han Li's heart sank as if hit by a huge stone. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the Lord of Reincarnation Hall, asking word by word:

"What exactly did you do to her?"

"Nothing, just returned her lost memories and cultivation to her," the Lord of Reincarnation Hall said lightly.

Jiao San had never seen such an expression on Han Li's face before. Feeling a little unbearable, he said, "The Lord used the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to help her restore her memories from her previous life. She is my mother, Gan Rushuang."

"Gan Rushuang… What does that have to do with me? I only know that she is my Dao companion, my married wife, my Nangong Wan!" Han Li shouted angrily.

At the same time, golden light blazed all over his body, and the Time Domain suddenly expanded. A golden wave of air surged out from his body, forcing Nangong Wan and Jiao San to take a step back.

But the Lord of Reincarnation Hall remained unmoved. With a wave of his hand, a ray of reincarnation light swept across, and the power of the Time Law released by Han Li was reversed, dissipating without a trace as it returned to Han Li's body.

Hearing this angry shout, Nangong Wan's whole body shook violently. The memories of two lifetimes seemed to flood into her sea of consciousness at the same time. The expression on her face twisted, and she collapsed to the ground, holding her head in pain.

Seeing this, Han Li's heart tightened, and he immediately wanted to go over. But the Lord of Reincarnation Hall was one step ahead, came behind Nangong Wan, and supported her back with one hand, gently stroking the top of her head with the other.

As a ray of light flashed, the painful expression on Nangong Wan's face gradually subsided, and she slowly fell into a deep sleep.

"The memories of this life and the previous life have surfaced at the same time. She has just recovered her original strength and can't bear it yet," the Lord of Reincarnation Hall handed her over to Jiao San for care, stood up, and said.

"The previous life is the past. What right do you have? What right do you have to retrieve her memories?" Han Li clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, already extremely angry.

"Because she is also my married wife, my only Dao companion," the Lord of Reincarnation Hall said calmly, coldly.

Han Li and Jiao San both revealed shocked expressions.

"Jiu Zhen, haven't you asked me before, who is your father, where is he?" The Lord of Reincarnation Hall turned his head, looked at Jiao San with affection, and said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and took off the black hat he had been wearing all year round, removed the concealment technique, and revealed his true face.

At that moment, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall withdrew all his pressure.

The moment they saw the face of the Lord of Reincarnation Hall, Han Li and Jiao San's pupils dilated at the same time. Both were struck by lightning.

Under the hat, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall had an ordinary face, with slightly deep eye sockets and eyes as black as ink. Contrary to Jiao San's past guesses, he was not old, but a young man with a high nose bridge.

But that face was actually exactly the same as Han Li's!

"Who exactly are you?" Han Li instantly opened the Time Domain and questioned.

Since he began cultivating, he had experienced countless strange and unbelievable things, but never had he been as shocked and astonished as he was today.

His married Dao companion had suddenly become someone else's Dao companion, and the other person looked exactly like him.

This was not a disguise or some other secret technique to change one's appearance, but indeed exactly the same as him. No wonder he had always felt a very familiar feeling from the other party.

If it weren't for the fact that the Law aura on his body was completely different from his own, Han Li would have even thought that the person standing opposite him was his clone.

"I am me, you are you. I am Han Li, and you are also Han Li," the Lord of Reincarnation Hall sighed and said slowly.

"What exactly is going on?" Jiao San only felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he asked blankly, holding Nangong Wan in his arms.

"I am also Han Li, but a Han Li who reversed time, returned to the past, gave up time, and then cultivated reincarnation," the Lord of Reincarnation Hall said slowly.

Jiao San was full of shock, and the expression in his eyes became even more confused.

"You are Han Li, then… who am I?" Han Li couldn't help but take a step forward, pointing at the Lord of Reincarnation Hall, and asked slowly.

His mind was in a chaotic mess, and he couldn't calm down to think about what was going on. But there was a strange connection in the dark that made him believe that this person was not a clone, not an incarnation, not a severed corpse, but himself the moment he saw the true face of the Lord of Reincarnation Hall.

Even though the Law power on their bodies was completely different, that inexplicable and strange connection wouldn't be wrong.
