"Dugu Lingtian?"
Sima Xiangtu carefully sorted out his memory.
After all, the old Taoist Niubi said so seriously, he thought that Dugu Lingtian must be an extraordinary person.
But in the end, he discovered that this person's name did not appear in his memory.
He confirmed again and again that he had indeed never heard of the name Dugu Lingtian.
"You haven't heard of it, right?"
"It's not your fault. After all, your experience is limited and your knowledge is very short."
"But it doesn't matter. I don't dislike you. I can even tell you that my life in Dugu Lingtian was more satisfying to me than Zhuge Guangyao."
"At the beginning, if fate hadn't happened, I would have obtained the Divine Soul Art, and I would have decided to practice it."
"But if I practice normally, I should already be a person respected by everyone in this vast martial arts world, right?"
"In that case, Wolong Wuzong should also be resounding throughout the vast martial arts world, right?"
"Sigh, but things are unpredictable. Who made me choose the Divine Soul Art in the end?"
The old man Niubi smiled, but his expression was thought-provoking.
He was satisfied with and even missed Dugu Lingtian's life, but he was also full of regrets.
After all, no matter how many times he is reincarnated, in his heart, he has only one true identity, and that is Dugu Lingtian.
It's a pity that he can no longer use that name.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't. He doesn't want some people to disappoint him.
Life is like this, one choice can lead to different trajectories.
I didn’t feel it when I made the choice, but when I look back, there is no room for regret.
Niubi feels deeply about this.
"You said before that you spent your life as Zhuge Guangyao, but why did you do this? What is your purpose?"
Sima Xiangtu asked.
Compared to Dugu Lingtian, he was more interested in Zhuge Guangyao's identity.
After all, Zhuge Guangyao was once a genius who astonished the entire Jiuhun Tianhe.
Of course, what he wanted to know most was actually Niubi Laodao's purpose.
"Xiang Tu, why are you planning to use the Immortal Cauldron of the Alchemy Immortal Sect to refine us?"
Niubi Lao Taoist did not answer directly, but asked Sima Xiangtu in return.
"Why ask knowingly? You and I discovered the Divine Soul Technique together, and both of you and I have practiced it."
Sima Xiangtu said.
The Divine Soul Art was a powerful mysterious technique that he and Niubi Lao Tao discovered together in an ancient ruins when they were young.
At that time, they all practiced cultivation.
For so many years, Sima Xiangtu has been able to achieve what he is today by continuously strengthening his soul through the Divine Soul Art.
The purpose of using the Immortal Cauldron to refine people's souls this time is to achieve a breakthrough in the Divine Soul Art.
In his opinion, if everything goes well this time, his cultivation level will definitely be able to break through to the demigod realm.
This...is the power of the Divine Soul Art.
"Shenhun Jue, acquired cultivation is very important, but the innate foundation is also very important, but the strength of the soul is actually determined from the moment of birth."
"And only a perfect soul can cultivate a true divine soul."
"Therefore, the creator of the Divine Soul Art has developed a method to be reincarnated with memories and create a perfect soul."
Niubi Lao Tao said.
"Reincarnation?"
"Why didn't this point be mentioned in the Divine Soul Art that I practiced?"
Sima Xiangtu stared at Niubi Laodao closely, with deep resentment in his eyes.
He has realized...
That is the Divine Soul Technique he practiced, which should not be complete.
He was deceived by the wise old man.
"Of course, what you practice is not the real Divine Soul Art at all."
Niubi Lao Tao said.
"So that was all your plan. You deliberately led me into that ruins back then, and you also deliberately let me discover the Divine Soul Art."
"Then what is your purpose?"
Sima Xiangtu asked.
He knew that he was going to be doomed today, but even if he died, he wanted to die clearly.
"Don't worry, I will tell you the truth."
"But you have to listen to me slowly."
The old man Niubi smiled slightly and then continued.
"When I obtained the Divine Soul Art, I was sure that my soul at that time was not perfect. However, this Divine Soul Art was a wicked way. I didn't want people around me to know that I had practiced such methods."
"So I decided to fake my death, then reincarnate and practice with a new identity."
"Because I was fully prepared, my soul was close to perfection in my first reincarnation. That was Zhuge Guangyao's life."
"It's just that I soon discovered that there is a difference between being close to perfection and being truly perfect."
While the old Taoist Niubi was talking, Sima Xiangtu suddenly spoke.
"Zhuge Guangyao was a man of astonishing talent and beauty at that time. At a young age, he already shocked the Nine Souls of Heaven. However, he suffered from illness and died at a very young age."
"It turns out that you deliberately wanted to die, not because you were suffering from a disease."
Sima Xiangtu said.
"The purpose of reincarnation is to obtain a perfect soul. Since the purpose has not been achieved, it is natural to start over."
"And my biggest shortcoming is that I attach too much importance to emotions. Even though I am reincarnated with memories, my parents from the Zhuge family are not my real parents, they are just the people I chose."
"But I still developed feelings for them after all."
"So before reincarnation, I deliberately pretended to be sick to let them accept my departure and quickly forget the pain of losing me."
"Before I left, I also left behind the protective formation and secret treasure as compensation to them."
"I just didn't expect that the talents of the descendants of the Zhuge family are really limited. Even the secret treasures and protective formations I left behind could not prevent their decline."
"Uh... Actually that's not right. The younger generation Zhuge Feiluan is pretty good."
"If he can grow up normally, the Zhuge family will have successors."
"So naturally I won't let the old black devil kill Zhuge Feiluan."
While Niubi Lao Taoist was talking, he took a special look at the black devil not far away.
It's just that at this time, the Heisha old devil was as stupid as he couldn't understand the conversation between Niubi Taoist and Sima Xiangtu.
Seeing such a black devil, the old man laughed again.
He knew better than anyone why the Black Demon became like this.
"Who will you be reincarnated into later?"
Sima Xiangtu asked.
"I have been reincarnated many times in the future, but the time for cultivation after reincarnation has become shorter and shorter. At first, I will not be more than a hundred years old, and later I will not even be more than ten years old."
"Because I discovered that no matter how close to perfect my soul was at the beginning, as I got older, my soul would always show some flaws."
"So I keep being reborn, but the final result is the same."
