Ye Yunfei’s gaze was fixed on the white waters of the pool, his mind cleared of all distracting thoughts, and he remained utterly still.
“I’ll give it a try too.”
Seeing Ye Yunfei's actions, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm grew curious. He appeared beside Ye Yunfei and also began staring at the pool's water.
“Seems like nothing's happening. No matter how I look, these white waters just show no change.”
After a moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm became a bit impatient.
“Didn’t you listen to the Reincarnation Ghost? It requires a certain amount of time.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Roughly half an hour later, Ye Yunfei’s eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing an expression of shock.
It was because vague images began to appear within those white waters. Soon, Ye Yunfei saw within those images a Small World, a city within a certain region of that world, and a youth within that city.
“Isn’t that... my past life self?”
Ye Yunfei, looking at the youth within that city, felt overwhelmingly astonished.
Because the youth in the image was precisely Ye Yunfei himself, and that city was none other than Yuanyue City.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei within Yuanyue City was experiencing all the events he went through in his previous life.
From Ye Yunfei being stripped of his heir position, to his father’s desperate fight and death, then the fall of the entire Ye Family, up until Ye Yunfei encountered Zi Sheng Zhenjun who was passing by and was taken away from the Tianxuan Continent.
“So? Did you see something?”
While Ye Yunfei was watching his past life experiences in shock, Hun Lao, noticing Ye Yunfei’s stunned expression, asked.
“This Qianshi Pool truly allows one to see events from a past life!”
Ye Yunfei exclaimed in astonishment.
“I saw it too! So my past life was also a Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.”
Suddenly, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out in amazement.
Like Ye Yunfei, he too saw various images within the white pool water. Quickly, he realized those images were scenes from his own past life.
“So my past life existed within the world of our Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworms. In that world, we Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworms were immensely powerful, and I was a lord who dominated one region! No wonder I often feel overwhelmingly imposing — turns out it's a temperament left over from my previous life.”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm marveled as he watched the various scenes in the white pool water.
“Master, can this Qianshi Pool really show one's past life? Then I want to take a look at my own past life too.”
After hearing Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao became extremely curious. Unable to resist, she also emerged from the Phantom Shadow Tower, wanting to see her past life.
Huang Shang couldn’t hold back either and appeared beside Ye Yunfei. His jet-black, glossy ghostly form was particularly conspicuous.
“I advise you all not to recklessly view your past lives,” Hun Lao suddenly spoke up. “I have some memories regarding the Qianshi Pool in my racial memory. The Qianshi Pool is specifically for deceased souls to revisit their last life's events before reincarnation. If living beings observe it, there is a high likelihood of bringing about ill fortune.”
He had just located information about the Qianshi Pool within his inherited racial memories. As the Chaos World Tree, one of the oldest races among all realms, his racial memory was etched with many secrets unknown to other races.
Right at that moment, Ye Yunfei’s gaze suddenly tightened. He saw a massive white hand slowly emerging from within those white pool waters.
That white hand was covered in various mysterious runes related to Samsara, radiating an extremely eerie aura that made one's Soul Body sway unsteadily upon seeing it, as if about to fall into a state of confusion and ignorance.
Ye Yunfei even felt his own Soul Body being purified by some bizarre energy.
“Bad news! Everyone, escape immediately! We can't stay here any longer, or disaster will strike!”
Ye Yunfei hastily shouted.
“Escape quickly! If I stay here any longer, I feel like I’ll lose all consciousness and memory.”
At this point, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm seemed to have seen the same terrifying thing. His face filled with terror, he turned and fled.
Streaks of golden runes burst forth from his body, instantly piercing through space as he departed.
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve, sweeping up Huang Shang and Hu Miao. Then, utilizing his movement technique, he stepped out and three distinct silhouettes materialized, each heading in a different direction.
This was the Peerless Phantom Shadow Technique. With his continuously improving strength, the effects of the Peerless Phantom Shadow Technique Ye Yunfei now displayed were naturally far superior to before.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei felt that white hand from within the pool reach out and slowly reach towards his fleeing selves.
Although Ye Yunfei had conjured three distinct silhouettes, all three now sensed a terrifying pressure bearing down. Their speed grew slower and slower. Moreover, it wasn't just these three phantoms; even Ye Yunfei’s true body, which had long since entered the void of space, felt that dreadful pressure. Waves of white Samsara-related runes constantly chased him from behind.
Simultaneously, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm encountered the same oppressive energy. His movements became arduous, and his speed of escape grew increasingly sluggish.
“Bad! That Qianshi Pool truly shouldn’t be casually viewed! Seems we've committed a grave taboo! You think of a way quickly — how should we shake off this Qianshi Pool's pursuit?”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm yelled loudly.
It was then Ye Yunfei suddenly felt the token of the Reincarnation Palace on his person erupt with radiant divine light. This light enveloped Ye Yunfei’s body. Immediately, the white hand from behind seemed to sense it. Its speed slowed and finally stopped, then gradually vanished.
“Come over quickly! This token can get us out of this!”
Ye Yunfei immediately called to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm rushed over at once, directly entering the area encompassed by the token's radiance. Immediately, he let out a sigh of relief, finding that he too was free from the danger.
“That was too close! Thankfully we had this token from the Reincarnation Palace, or we’d have been in big trouble.”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm trembled with lingering fear.
“But I did see my past life in that Qianshi Pool just now, so risking that danger was worth it.”
After sighing in relief, he began to reflect again.
“That Qianshi Pool is truly marvelous. It really can show someone their past life! I was a bit slow to act; I didn't seize the moment. Otherwise, I'd know my own past life situation now,”
Hu Miao said with some regret.
“Enough. Let's go. This place is dangerous; we can't provoke that Qianshi Pool anymore. This token could help us once, but it might not protect us a second time,”
Ye Yunfei quickly led everyone away, continuing forward.
Not long after Ye Yunfei left, several other people arrived beside the Qianshi Pool. These individuals, thinking there might be treasures within the white waters, stared at it observing for a while. Then, a gigantic white hand suddenly extended from within the pool, grabbed those several people, and dragged them back into the depths of the water where they vanished.
“See that! Indeed, only dead souls can safely view their past lives there. If living beings force a viewing, it brings terrible consequences.”
Perceiving what happened back at the Qianshi Pool, Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh in wonder.
“Damn it! I thought this human viewing the Qianshi Pool would get him killed here, giving me a chance to escape from this token. Who'd have thought he’d actually survive.”
Within that token, the Reincarnation Ghost had been closely watching Ye Yunfei's every move. Earlier, when it discovered Ye Yunfei was being targeted by the white hand emerging from the Qianshi Pool, it was overjoyed, believing its opportunity had arrived. But it never expected Ye Yunfei to quickly evade that white hand, leaving it feeling immensely disappointed.
Ye Yunfei continued forward through the Reincarnation Passage. Everything he saw from that point on were vast, misty spaces, gray fog floating everywhere, with no other things in sight.
Besides Ye Yunfei, many others were also delving deeper into this Reincarnation Passage.
“When I came in here, I originally intended to see if I could obtain any news related to Qing Luo. But it seems I can't get any information about Qing Luo within this Reincarnation Passage. But of course, Qing Luo disappeared within the Reincarnation Passage of the Eighth Void. This is the Sixth Void’s Reincarnation Passage. These two passages should be independent. How could there be news about Qing Luo here? I was thinking too wishfully.”
Whenever Ye Yunfei thought of his purpose for entering this passage, he couldn’t help but sigh softly to himself.
After an unknown length of time, Ye Yunfei suddenly saw eight pitch-black, gigantic cavern openings appear ahead.
“Looks like we've reached the end of this Reincarnation Passage. Those six cavern openings ahead should be the Six Paths of Reincarnation Caves.”
Ye Yunfei came before the six pitch-black, massive cavern openings and stopped.
These six Samsara caves were almost identical to the ones Ye Yunfei encountered before in other reincarnation passages. The aura seeping from these six caves was also similar. Moreover, these six caves were also sealed, covered entirely by Samsara-related runes.
By now, besides Ye Yunfei, a large number of other people had also gathered before these six Reincarnation Caves.
