Under the gaze of many, a mournful scream echoed as Shangguan Liuyun’s body turned to ash and his Divine Soul was pulverized by the Quasi-Immortal Artifact.

Instantly vanishing into the heavens and earth.

Everything happened too suddenly, too swiftly, so much so that Shangguan Liuyun had disappeared from the world before anyone present could react.

Immediately, the entire world seemed to fall into dead silence.

"Liuyun!" Moments later, Shangguan Qingming roared angrily.

The black gold Dragon Pattern Tripod in his hand fiercely attacked the Protective Talisman he had released.

Boom—

With one strike, the Protective Talisman showed cracks.

Boom—

With another strike, it was covered with fissures.

With the third strike, the Protective Talisman completely shattered.

The aftermath directly sent Li Jizhou flying, his blood churning.

The stored An Liuli blood essence could no longer be maintained, and Li Jizhou reverted to his original aura,

In an instant, the Guanghan Seal in his hand felt an anomaly and vibrated violently, sending Li Jizhou flying a hundred meters away, blood spilling across the sky.

The next moment, the Guanghan Seal transformed into a stream of light and shot up into the sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~" The four ancestors instantly chased after it.

Only Shangguan Qingming didn’t look at the distant fleeing Guanghan Seal, but instead hurriedly rushed into the place where Shangguan Liuyun had perished, trying to retrieve a trace of the Divine Soul.

However, with the soul scattered and dissipated, how could there be a trace left?

"Ah!!!" Shangguan Qingming suddenly turned, looking at the already dying Li Jizhou, his eyes bloodshot!

Then his expression subtly changed, and he reached out with a large hand towards Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou’s mouth curled with a slight smile as he used his remaining energy to pour out all the Talismans from his storage bag.

Tier Three Advanced Talismans filled the sky with a powerful presence, but to a great cultivator like Shangguan Qingming, they were of little effect.

However, amidst the explosion of Talismans covering the sky, ten shadows shot backward.

Their aura was barely detectable, and the Core Formation crowd below didn’t sense them at all,

But Shangguan Qingming noticed amidst the bursting Talismans, suddenly reaching into the void with his hand.

He captured six of the ten shadows.

"A life-bound Magical Artifact forged from Tier Four Dragon Saliva Cold Gold, already nurtured to Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact level!" Upon quick inspection, Shangguan Qingming’s eyes changed again.

Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts might be inconspicuous to him, but to a cultivator like Li Jizhou, they were extremely striking, especially as his bone age was no more than two hundred, yet he had nurtured it to this level. Given enough time, nurturing it to become a Profound Celestial Treasure was possible. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

But he wasn’t surprised for long; a Li Jizhou who could hide a Quasi-Immortal Artifact, why be astonished if he possessed a life-bound Spiritual Artifact?

Li Jizhou’s pale face slightly disappointed, as his ten Immortal-Slaying Flying Sabers nurtured for eighty years had not displayed their sharpness before disappearing.

Luckily, four managed to escape, providing hope for recovery in the next life through Divine Soul sensing.

Thus, Li Jizhou slowly closed his eyes, holding no more regrets.

"Hmph, I will make sure you never reincarnate!" Shangguan Qingming’s hand in the void had already firmly captured Li Jizhou.

Not only was he completely immobile, but his Dantian Magical Power and Divine Soul were sealed, self-detonation impossible.

However,

Reincarnation Treasure Mirror.

Li Jizhou silently recited.

Finally, he applied all of his remaining 173 years of lifespan.

Wood (59/1000) [Innate Wood Spirit Body]

[Points available for next life: 0]

[Lifespan: 172/0]

"Innate Wood Spirit Body! I’m satisfied!" Li Jizhou’s deathly pallor revealed a trace of satisfied smile.

Shangguan Qingming’s ferocious face instantly froze.

"Hmm? Lifespan exhausted?"

Looking at the smile on his face.

It was as if he had died a peaceful death!

"Trickery, daring to fool me?" Shangguan Qingming naturally disbelieved, Primordial Spirit pressure instantly penetrated Li Jizhou’s Sea of Consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness vanished, turning into smoke!

Not even a trace of Divine Soul remained.

"Death of body and soul!"

——————

In a splendid palace adorned with carved beams and painted pillars, a wisp of green smoke rose delicately.

Before a bed of softness and warmth, four palace maidens knelt on the floor, all bowing their heads, not daring to look up at the young man seated on the bed at this moment.

The youth had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, brimming with vitality, his golden python robe further accentuating his imperial dignity.

As the wisp of green smoke drifted to the beams of the palace and suddenly dissipated, the youth abruptly opened his eyes.

On his usually cold and arrogant face slowly appeared a gentle smile.

"Seventh Prince of the Jiuli Dynasty, one of the nine major dynasties of Central State!"

"Innate Wood Spirit Body!"

"Just turned fifteen years old, today I’ve just reached full Qi sensing and am preparing to formally embark on cultivation!"

...

Li Jizhou’s brow slightly raised.

He felt greatly pleased with his birth in this life.

At the moment of his previous life’s death, he had some hidden worries in his heart, fearing that this life’s place of birth would have thin Spiritual Qi, worried that this life’s family would lack resources to provide, and even worried about being born in a place of evil paths like the previous Wei Kingdom.

Now, awakening Innate Wisdom, he is completely at ease.

"Eastern Desolation Central Domain! Shangguan Immortal Race, Taihao Sacred Land, the Wang family, Barbarian Prison Sacred Land... hehe~" Li Jizhou slowly turned to look eastward, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Reincarnation Treasure Mirror!"

Silently reciting, a flow of light flickered in his sea of consciousness.

A treasure mirror slowly emerged, gold light suddenly appearing, sketching out a figure.

The figure was old and holding a Pill Furnace.

It was precisely Li Jizhou’s first life.

Immediately, after sketching the first life’s figure, another treasure mirror emerged beside it.

Also amid overflowing golden light, a complete figure was presented.

Graceful and handsome, calm and peaceful,

holding a Pill Furnace in the left hand, a talisman pen in the right,

behind him were two small flags labeled "Medical" and "Poison" fluttering, a large forging hammer made him appear even more robust.

A ring of treasure talismans rotated and floated at his waist, shining golden light.

Underfoot a circle of complex array patterns became increasingly clear, emitting dazzling brightness.

The puppet on the left hand side no longer flipped and jumped endlessly, but stood upright and imposing.

In addition, a Blood Mosquito suddenly flew out, soon hidden in the darkness.

It was precisely the previous life’s figure.

Compared to when alive in the previous life, it lacked the ten flying sabers circling around.

The rest corresponded to the eight skills of the previous life: Pill, Artifact, Talisman, Array, Medical, Poison, Puppet, Insect!

Looking at the previous life’s figure, Li Jizhou smiled in appreciation.

Then, the third treasure mirror emerged.

However, like when just awakening Innate Wisdom in the previous life, at this moment the third treasure mirror did not sketch in gold light, nor did it reveal any figure.

It seems that it requires recording in this life.

"Third life!"

Li Jizhou silently felt grateful in his heart, fortunate to still have this life.

However, looking at the dark void beyond this third life, he didn’t know if there would be another life?

"Three lives... it should be enough!" Compared to the second life’s awakening of Innate Wisdom’s anxiety and excessive worry, this life’s mindset of Li Jizhou appeared more peaceful.

Regarding whether there is another life or not, he didn’t overthink it!

Anyway, this life possesses the innate Wood Spirit Body, surpassing the Celestial Spirit Root, eight Tier Three Advanced skills, and coincidentally born in Central State’s imperial family, a grand start.

Regardless of talent or resources, both are sufficient to look towards the immortal path.

With such conditions, if still not satisfied, what qualifications are there to prove Tao and achieve eternal life?

"In this life, exhaust all efforts to prove the immortal path!"

Li Jizhou shook his head while smiling, the Spiritual Sense clicked on the third life’s treasure mirror once more.
