Chapter 321 A Generous Promise, A Cycle of Reincarnation (Third Update, Seeking Votes)
After the Yin-Yang Dharma King finished speaking, he exuded the aura of a grandmaster, so imposing that Su Che couldn't help but be captivated by him.

"Since ancient times, countless immortals have turned into dust. Do you know why I have been able to continue to this day?"

Su Che recalled what he had seen and heard in the Yin-Yang Realm.

"I've heard that you have a secret method for prolonging life."

"It is indeed a secret technique, but it is not used to prolong life."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King knows only his own affairs.

Because of the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court, his path to enlightenment was cut off. Upon arriving at Xuandu Palace, he was told that "even a spirit that has endured countless eons will find it difficult to attain sainthood," making it almost impossible for him to achieve immortality.

However, the reason why he was able to achieve longevity with the cultivation level of the fourth rank was because of the Yin-Yang Realm and the Six Heavens Yin Instrument left by the ancient Black Emperor, as well as a secret technique that he deduced on his own according to the Black Emperor's lineage.

The Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Method.

"In my early years, I created a secret technique called the Nine Nether Reincarnation Method, which I finally completed a hundred years ago. This method can cleanse one's own essence." The Yin-Yang Dharma King spoke of this secret technique with pride in his eyes.

"The Nine Nether Reincarnation Method has three wonders. The first is 'stripping away,' which can strip away the things that one wants to discard from their very origin."

"The second is 'sealing and solidifying'. After separating them, these discarded things can be separated from the source, sealed and solidified, so that they will no longer affect the source."

"Finally, there is 'transcendence'. After the discarded things are sealed away, they can be annihilated, and finally, one can transcend them."

"This method is derived from a technique passed down to me by the ancient Black Emperor. This technique is exactly the same as your Huang Tiandao's 'Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual,' so you should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when you practice it."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King said with a smile, "How about I pass on this secret technique to you?"

Su Che remained silent for a moment before looking at the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

"To be honest, I am very tempted, but please tell me, senior, what do I need to do if I want to inherit your Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique?"

If Su Che gained anything from reflecting on the past, it could be summed up in a phrase he often heard in his previous life.

There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.

Whatever others give you, you must give back in return.

When one offers a gift, there is always an ulterior motive. Su Che knew that with his current limited perspective and abilities, he couldn't discern what Zhongyuan and Beimang Ghost Ancestor wanted from him.

Even the Yin-Yang Dharma King is not immune to such customs.

"To be honest, Su boy, we get along quite well."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King sighed softly: "That person once laughed at me, saying that I have been guarding the Yin-Yang realm until now, and that I am nothing more than a living dead tomb keeper. Thinking about it today, his words were indeed pearls of wisdom."

Su Che naturally knew who the "that person" the Yin-Yang Dharma King was referring to was—the all-knowing and all-powerful Zhongyuan.

"The ancient Heavenly Court has fallen, and the Five Emperors of the Five Directions have not even passed down a single lineage. This is truly a great regret in my heart."

"My original idea was to use deception, robbery, or even take it to the head of the Yellow Heaven Daoist Temple to get you from Yu Lizi and make you a disciple of my Black Emperor lineage to pass on the Dharma."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che and said, "But it seems that we have acted a little too late today."

Su Che remained silent.

Although he had no formal master-disciple relationship with the Yin-Yang Dharma King, the latter was indeed his teacher on his path of cultivation.

"It's too late now. Didn't I realize my mistake too late?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King sighed softly.

“Young Su, I intend to pass on the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique and the Six Heavens Purgatory General Principles to you. I ask for nothing else. You must use this technique as the foundation to pass on the lineage of my Black Emperor.”

His words conveyed an overwhelming sense of loneliness.

"Is that alright?"

They passed down their teachings and established their own schools.

Su Che looked at the Yin-Yang Dharma King and felt an indescribable desolation in his words.

Could it be that these are the words of a dying man...? Upon thinking of this, a sense of sorrow welled up in the heart of the Third Young Master Su.

"What are you saying? Senior's primordial spirit has just been reincarnated, and with that person backing us up, we should be able to attain immortality soon. At that time..."

"Young Su, if the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court left me with anything, it is that all the planning and grand ambitions were perhaps nothing but flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King closed his eyes and shook his head.

"You always have to have a backup plan, don't you think?"

Su Che looked at the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

What exactly was in the ancient Heavenly Court that he could recall so vividly, to the point that he still couldn't leave it behind?

Zhongyuan might be right; ever since the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court, the Yin-Yang Dharma King has been a living dead.

Because after that, he no longer had any sense of self in the entire meaning of his existence.

He was the guardian of the tombs of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions.

All of this has taken on the feel of making arrangements for one's final affairs.

Was the Yin-Yang Dharma King entrusting his orphan to someone else?
Su Che felt a sudden pang of sadness.

"senior."

"You agree?"

"When I attain enlightenment in the future, I will definitely pass on the Black Emperor's lineage of methods to fulfill my senior's long-cherished wish. As long as I live, I will ensure the preservation of this lineage."

"Good, good, good!"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King said "good" three times in a row. He seemed to have a huge weight lifted from his heart, and his back straightened up a lot.

"Sigh, I should have spoken to you frankly a long time ago. Fortunately, there is still time, and I can slowly hone you. There's no time like the present, so I will now pass on the incantation of the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique to you. Listen carefully."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King slowly recited a profound incantation.

"The profound mysteries of the Nine Netherworlds and the cycle of reincarnation are the very roots of the flow of cosmic light..."

Su Che listened intently, memorizing everything, and occasionally asked the Yin-Yang Dharma King about any parts of the sentences that were difficult to understand.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King also changed his previous carefree and cynical attitude, solemnly receiving Su Che and explaining the meaning behind his confusion, and then sharing his own insights.

The question-and-answer session between the two had a hint of a master-disciple discussion.

Su Che gained a better understanding of the mysteries of the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Technique.

The Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Technique is indeed an extraordinary secret technique, and it is also the brainchild of the Yin-Yang Dharma King. When the Yin-Yang Dharma King created this technique, in addition to referring to the inheritance of the Black Emperor lineage, he also drew on a wide range of sources and borrowed some of the mysteries of Buddhism, which is why he perfected it more than a hundred years ago.

Just as Su Che was about to start practicing, he suddenly remembered a crucial point.

"May I ask, senior, what would happen if this Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique were used on someone else?"

This question touched on the blind spot of the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

He never considered what it would be like to use the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Technique on someone else.

In order to prolong his own existence, the Yin-Yang Dharma King used this method to extract and seal his own fundamental essence, and then put his mind into other ghost bodies.

This is how the legend of the Yin-Yang Dharma King's reincarnation came about.

However, this method contains great danger, as it is tantamount to constantly dividing one's own soul. For the Yin-Yang Dharma King, who has been unable to attain the realm of immortality for a long time, this is almost a form of slow suicide.

His only good fortune was that he lived to see the Zhongyuan Festival before his complete annihilation.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King had never even considered the idea of ​​using the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique on others, as Su Che had mentioned.
