The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 210 The Right Protector's Reincarnation Technique and the Path of Time and Space

Inside the Ancestral Hall of Fengyu Mountain on the Floating Life Continent.

"Disappeared? What on earth happened?" A sense of foreboding welled up in Luo Yifei's heart.

Roland sighed softly and slowly explained, "If Mr. Ding had followed his master's advice, he should have already successfully returned to life on Earth."

"Resurrected from a corpse?" Luo Yifei was shocked and his mouth dropped open.

Roland nodded in confirmation, and then said, "That's right, possessing another person's body to achieve reincarnation. This is a magical technique that Master learned from the Right Protector when he served as the Left Protector of Fengyu Mountain."

Luo Yifei followed Roland's gaze and saw a blurred portrait hanging on the far right side of the wall.

As Wei Fei turned his head, the fiery wheels on his body also emitted light, and he floated up and flew in front of the portrait.

Ye Fan's soul flew out of the fire wheel, revealing his upper body, and he carefully looked at the portrait.

"I see, I understand now. This is the starting point of all events," Ye Fan murmured to himself.

His gaze lingered on the portrait for a long time, as if searching for some clue. Suddenly, his eyes hardened, as if he had found the answer.

"Roland, Luo Yifei, have you ever heard of the 'Reincarnation Secret Technique' of Fengyu Mountain?" Ye Fan turned around to face the two of them, his tone serious.

Upon hearing this, both Roland and Luo Yifei shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of this secret technique.

Seeing this, Ye Fan sighed softly and continued, "This secret technique is a closely guarded secret of Fengyu Mountain, known only to the successive sect leaders and left and right protectors. It can separate a person's soul from their body and then, with the help of specific spells, allow the soul to possess another person, thus achieving reincarnation. However, this secret technique is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake can lead to the soul dissipating and never being reborn."

Upon hearing this, both Roland and Luo Yifei were shocked. They had not expected that Fengyu Mountain would possess such a bizarre secret technique.

"Then Mr. Ding..." Roland couldn't help but ask.

Ye Fan nodded and continued, "That's right. Ding Wenyuan successfully returned to life on Earth by using this secret technique. He should have succeeded this time, and even recovered the memories he couldn't recover the previous two times due to interference."

"Interference? What kind of interference?" Luo Yifei pressed.

Ye Fan's gaze fell once again on the blurry portrait, and he slowly said, "This interference comes from the Right Protector of Fengyu Mountain. He was at odds with your master Wen Bin back then and always wanted to seize the position of sect leader. After learning that Wen Bin planned to pass on the Reincarnation Secret Technique to Ding Wenyuan, he secretly tampered with it, causing an accident during Ding Wenyuan's reincarnation. Until this time, Wen Bin returned to the Floating Life Continent and taught Ding Wenyuan the revised and complete technique."

Luo Yifei looked at Ye Fan, waiting for him to continue.

“I just tried to contact Wen Bin using the Skynet communicator, but I couldn’t get through. Therefore, Wen Bin must be in a world that even the gods cannot reach, or a world that the gods have deliberately hidden.”

"What is a supreme god?" Luo Yifei asked, full of doubt.

"The gods of the upper realm are high-level cultivators from the upper realm. They have long lifespans and are those cultivators who have cultivated to become gods," Ye Fan explained.

Luo Yifei nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Do you know the Right Protector of Fengyu Mountain? My master once said that the Right Protector was his friend, but he never mentioned anything about the Right Protector." Roland asked Ye Fan.

"He is my master. I met him in the Ziwei Star Region. He traveled through several star regions using the Reincarnation Technique and the Path of Time and Space. When I met him, he was trapped in a collapsed spiritual mountain mine, and I rescued him. However, his lifespan had already ended at that time. After teaching me the Path of Time and Space, he used the Reincarnation Technique to go to another world to be reborn," Ye Fan said calmly.

"I see, your experience is indeed quite legendary," Roland remarked.

Luo Yifei looked at Ye Fan, a sense of respect welling up in his heart. He had never expected that the person in front of him would have such an extraordinary experience.

"Ye Fan, what are your plans next?" Roland asked.

Ye Fan paused for a moment before replying, "I plan to find Ding Wenyuan first to confirm whether he has successfully reincarnated. After that, I will go to find my master to ensure his safety."

"So, we still need to find a way to get back to Earth?" Luo Yifei frowned.

Roland surveyed the group in the Ancestral Hall and said, “Wind Whisper Mountain possesses several ancient teleportation arrays, but they are all abandoned. Repairing them would require a large amount of materials and would take a considerable amount of time. Several secret realms on the Floating Life Continent have already appeared, and cultivators have begun vying for territory. Our first priority is to activate the mountain-protecting array, so we cannot afford to be distracted by repairing the teleportation arrays in the short term.”

Luo Yifei nodded in understanding.

Everyone else also expressed no objection.

Afterwards, Roland told Luo Yifei about Sun Li's current situation. She mentioned that if enemies attacked the mountain gate, Sun Li would have a chance to possess someone.

"I've also seen things like this on the Illusionary Continent. Using a dead person's body is called 'borrowing a corpse to revive a soul,' while using a living person's body is a forbidden act of possession in the cultivation world," Qi Yuan finally spoke up, joining the discussion.

“That’s right. When Sun Li possesses a cultivator, it’s not body-stealing, but rather putting the cultivator’s soul into a deep sleep, temporarily using the body. As long as she leaves within the specified time, the possessed cultivator will only feel like they’ve taken a nap, and may even see an improvement in their cultivation level as a result,” Roland explained.

After listening, Qi Yuan nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Roland's explanation.

"Therefore, our primary task at present is to ensure the safety of the Ancestral Hall, repair the mountain-protecting array, and at the same time find the materials needed to repair the ancient teleportation array," Luo Yifei summarized with a solemn expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, showing their strong support for his suggestion. After all, the Ancestral Hall was the core of their sect, and its safety was of paramount importance. The protective array was key to protecting the Ancestral Hall; if it could be successfully repaired, it would not only defend against external invasions but also add to the sect's prestige.

Roland continued, "Activating the mountain-protecting array requires a considerable amount of spiritual materials. However, I do have some knowledge in this area, and I will be responsible for repairing the array. As for finding the materials needed to repair the ancient teleportation array, I'll leave that to you, Luo Yifei."

Luo Yifei nodded in agreement without hesitation, fully aware of the daunting nature of the task. Finding specific materials in this vast mountain range was like searching for a needle in a haystack. But to ensure the safety of the Ancestral Hall and their smooth return to Earth in the future, they had to give it their all.

Just then, Qi Yuan stepped forward and volunteered, saying, "I am also willing to go. My understanding of the cultivation world may provide you with some useful clues."

Luo Yifei glanced at Qi Yuan gratefully; with his help, the task would undoubtedly be much easier.

Guided by Roland, Luo Yifei and Qi Yuan embarked on a journey to several mountains beyond Fengyu Peak. Although these mountains appeared ordinary, no one knew whether they concealed the spiritual materials they needed.

Time flew by in the tense atmosphere, every minute and second feeling incredibly precious. They knew that the safety of the Ancestral Hall and their own future hung by a thread, allowing no room for negligence.

After several days of tireless effort, they finally gathered all the magical artifacts needed to activate the mountain-protecting array with a sigh of relief. Under Roland's guidance, the mountain-protecting array slowly activated, as if a long-dormant beast had been awakened. A powerful energy surge erupted from the Ancestral Hall, forming an indestructible shield that tightly enveloped the entire Fengyu Mountain.

However, just three days later, one morning, while people were still immersed in the busy restoration work, two severely wounded Xuantian Sect disciples suddenly appeared at the foot of Fengyu Mountain. Their bodies were covered with gruesome wounds, and their clothes were stained red with blood, clearly indicating that they had just experienced a terrifying and fierce battle.
