"In the cycle of Samsara, I have already married and had children!"
The Primordial Female Saint Lord spoke with a calm tone.
Crack—
Yet these words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding thunderously beside Ye Chen's ears, deafeningly loud.
In that instant, his eyes widened as he stared at the Primordial Female Saint Lord. Even though his cultivation had reached this stage, where his heart should have long been as still as water, he still couldn't help but feel shocked, along with endless heartache.
Because of the Goddess's words, this woman he deeply loved had actually married and had children in her reincarnation. This blow was unprecedented in its magnitude.
"Is that so..."
Ye Chen felt that even speaking a word at this moment carried endless heartache. His expression was deathly pale. Even when facing an ancient Great Sage like the Undying Ancient Ancestor, Ye Chen had never been like this.
Slap—
Zhao Jingruo slapped him again, directly jolting him awake from the blow. He looked at the Goddess before him in astonishment, feeling both heartache and confusion.
"Silly little brother, your sister was just teasing you. Why so sad?" Zhao Jingruo said.
Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded. This was actually just a lie? He had truly believed it, because the Goddess rarely joked, let alone such a shocking joke, making him unable to react for a moment.
"Sister Jingruo, could you please not make jokes like this in the future? My little brother's heart isn't strong enough; I can't take it," Ye Chen said with a bitter smile, truly unable to appreciate such a joke from Zhao Jingruo.
"Understood," Zhao Jingruo said, smoothing her jet-black, lustrous hair. With a thought, divine power materialized two meditation cushions, and they sat facing each other.
The Primordial Female Saint Lord said, "Now that I have reincarnated and been reborn, I have actually reached the Demi-Saint level."
"So fast!?" Ye Chen was astonished. How many years had it been since her reincarnation? Wasn't her advancement speed a bit too quick?
Then, with a grave expression, he said, "Sister Jingruo, although you have the foundation of your past life, allowing cultivation to accelerate beyond imagination, wouldn't that risk leaving your reincarnation body with an unstable foundation? That's not good for your future cultivation path. You shouldn't do this. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The Goddess chuckled lightly. "You've misunderstood. The years my reincarnation body has spent cultivating are actually the same as those of the Yuan Yao Divine King and the others. Therefore, my cultivation foundation is very solid. You don't need to worry about that."
Hearing this, Ye Chen was naturally very surprised. Didn't the Goddess only begin her reincarnation cycle in the last dozen or so years?
But what kind of person was he? He quickly understood. Looking at the three-zhang-tall Primordial Immortal Stele beside them, he said, "Is it because of this Primordial Immortal Stele?"
"Correct," the Primordial Female Saint Lord nodded, her jade-like hand resting on this mysterious Primordial Immortal Stele. Wisps of mysterious Primordial aura drifted and overflowed, continuously flowing into her body.
"This Primordial Immortal Stele is very special. It can be said that it has existed since this Primordial Pure Land came into being, originating from the mysterious chaos. It records the supreme scripture's profound meanings, interpreting the secrets of Primordial creation," she said slowly.
According to the Primordial Female Saint Lord's explanation, the Primordial Immortal Stele contained a special Primordial aura and had an extraordinary, unique effect on Samsara, greatly increasing the likelihood of successful reincarnation.
Back during the attack on the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, the Primordial Female Saint Lord had already been in the midst of her reincarnation cycle, around the same time as the Yuan Yao Divine King and other True King geniuses of the past had reincarnated.
However, with the help of the Primordial Immortal Stele and the assistance of the Primordial Ancestor, she had brought this Primordial Immortal Stele with her, harboring it within her body, accompanying her at all times. Thus, she was able to awaken for extended periods.
Therefore, this Primordial Immortal Stele was the key to her awakening.
"But even so, it shouldn't be possible to allow someone to awaken from within Samsara," Ye Chen's understanding on this point was very sharp, pinpointing the key issue.
Because the Reincarnation realm was too mysterious. It was the most enigmatic and unpredictable major realm in human cultivation, filled with secrets. It had always been said that in this world, only the mythical Emperors and Sovereigns could truly and completely understand the true mysteries of the Reincarnation realm.
To awaken midway through reincarnation—such a thing seemed far too inconceivable.
He didn't believe the Primordial Immortal Stele alone could accomplish this. Even if it emerged from chaos, it was unlikely. There must be other factors involved.
"Little brother, you're very clever. The man your sister has taken a liking to is indeed extraordinary," Zhao Jingruo gave a light laugh, leaving Ye Chen somewhat speechless. Was she praising him or praising herself?
Then the Primordial Female Saint Lord said, "Do you remember the first treasure auctioned at the Heavenly Saint City auction event?"
"The Samsara cultivation notes of the Samsara Sovereign!" Ye Chen suddenly jolted awake.
"That's right, the Samsara cultivation notes of this Supreme One of the Primordial Era," the Primordial Female Saint Lord said slowly. "You must understand what kind of existence the Samsara Sovereign was. He was a peerless Sovereign, even surpassing ancient Great Sages—a Supreme One of the Primordial Era who could look down upon past, present, and future."
Sovereigns were originally the strongest existences in the Myriad Domains, standing above even ancient Great Sages.
They could open up inner world realms, master world power, and also grasp alternative laws of time and space. Even in the extremely glorious and prosperous Mythical Era, they were among the peak powerhouses second only to Emperors and Sovereigns. Moreover, in the Myriad Domains Epoch, they were the strongest.
The supreme and peerless Human Sovereign was a Sovereign-level Supreme One.
Their insights into Samsara could be called the highest in the Myriad Domains, especially the Samsara Sovereign, who named himself after Samsara and claimed to be the one with the highest understanding of Samsara beneath the mythical Emperors and Sovereigns, having deciphered many mysteries.
Within the Primordial Sacred Land, they also possessed part of the Samsara Sovereign's cultivation notes. The reason the Primordial Female Saint Lord was able to awaken from Samsara was precisely because she had comprehended the Samsara Sovereign's cultivation notes.
"Originally, there were still some limitations, but after combining them with the other set of cultivation notes obtained from the auction, I can now awaken from Samsara and return to this life's body almost anytime, anywhere," the Primordial Female Saint Lord said. "Naturally, all of this still relies on the Primordial Immortal Stele. Otherwise, it would be difficult to sustain the awakening."
Hearing this, Ye Chen marveled. Truly worthy of being the Samsara Sovereign. The cultivation notes he left behind actually possessed such wonderful uses. He was indeed extraordinary.
"Sister Jingruo, I know you are all attempting the Supreme Law, trying to break through the shackles of the Nine Heavens and enter the Tenth Heaven, achieving the Tenth Heaven Supreme realm. The truly complete method cannot be possessed by everyone. This is my method of success. I didn't have time to give it to you before, but now I give it to you. It will certainly be of some help to your success with the Supreme Law."
With that, a stream of seven-colored radiance flowed from the space between his eyebrows, misty and diffuse, containing endless information—all the experience of achieving the Tenth Heaven.
All of this, he imparted to the Primordial Female Saint Lord, his beloved wife, transmitting it into the space between her eyebrows, along with various methods he had accumulated over time.
The Primordial Female Saint Lord naturally didn't stand on ceremony. Between husband and wife, there were few secrets to speak of.
