"Yes." After Xue Ziyan responded, Tan Yun set up a soundproof barrier.
"Ziyan, have you heard of reincarnation?" Tan Yun's voice was low.
"I have heard of it, but isn't it all just an illusion?" Xue Ziyan frowned slightly.
"Illusion?" Tan Yun's expression became serious. "Reincarnation is more than just an illusion; it's a phenomenon that exists in the eternal cycle of reincarnation. It is the process of souls being reborn, going through various forms and experiences."
Xue Ziyan listened intently, her curiosity piqued. "But if it's real, why hasn't anyone been able to prove it? It seems like a concept born from myths."
Tan Yun took a deep breath. "Sometimes, the truth is concealed behind layers of misunderstanding. The eternal cycle of reincarnation is something many may never truly grasp. It requires a certain level of spiritual insight and understanding of the universe."
"I see." Xue Ziyan nodded, contemplating his words. "So, you believe in it?"
"Absolutely." Tan Yun's gaze grew distant. "I have seen glimpses of it through my practice of the primordial chaos condensation technique. The energy of past lives can still resonate in our current existence."
Xue Ziyan's eyes widened. "You've experienced it personally?"
Tan Yun nodded. "In my seclusion, I encountered visions of my past lives. It was a revelation that changed my perception of life and death."
"That sounds incredible." Xue Ziyan's voice was filled with awe. "But does that mean we can manipulate our destinies in this life?"
"To some extent," Tan Yun replied thoughtfully. "Understanding our past can guide us in making better choices. However, the path of fate is intricate, and not everything is within our control."
Xue Ziyan pondered silently for a moment before asking, "What about the spirit pool? How does it relate to this?"
"The spirit pool is a place where one can refine their spiritual power, drawing on the energies of the universe," Tan Yun explained. "It can provide insights into one's past and present lives, aiding in the journey of understanding reincarnation."
"I would like to learn more about it," Xue Ziyan said eagerly. "Perhaps it could help me uncover the mysteries of my own existence."
Tan Yun smiled. "We will explore it together. The journey into the spirit pool is fraught with challenges, but it holds the potential for great enlightenment."
With a shared sense of determination, the two prepared to delve deeper into the mysteries that awaited them, ready to uncover the secrets of reincarnation and the energies that shaped their lives.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Xue Ziyan reacted, "You haven't... experienced reincarnation, have you?"
"Yes." Tan Yun nodded heavily, "I was once cursed to enter the eternal cycle of reincarnation..."
Tan Yun's expression was sorrowful. Besides not telling Xue Ziyan that he was the primeval supreme in his past life, he told her everything else.
After Xue Ziyan listened to Tan Yun's story about his experiences in the eternal cycle of reincarnation and the slaughter of his family in every lifetime, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She found it hard to imagine the immense pain Tan Yun must have felt, watching his loved ones die right before his eyes in every lifetime.
In comparison, her own sorrow felt trivial.
"Brother-in-law, who is your enemy? Who were you in your past life?" Xue Ziyan wiped her tears and said with red eyes.
"When the time is right, I will tell you," Tan Yun replied, glancing at Xue Ziyan. "Remember, you must learn to be strong at all times."
"Okay, I will remember." After Xue Ziyan responded, Tan Yun comforted her, "Perhaps the disciples of the Five Soul Lineage are still cultivating in some corner of the eternal land."
"If they are alive, and now we have killed nearly all the enemies of the divine soul celestial palace and the eternal immortal sect, leaving only Nangong Yuqin and Ru Yan Chen, then your fellow disciples will have almost no enemies during the upcoming trials. They will definitely be safer, right?"
