Mysterious mirror hanging high

"It seems that the lord's predictions are not omnipotent... Is it because he couldn't predict a genius with the potential to become a Dao Lord? Or is there some other reason?" Li Huaiyou sighed.

Since he couldn't rely on Daojun, Li Huaiyou could only place his hopes on the future Golden Immortals.

He thoroughly searched through the memories of Jade Emperor True Immortal and actually found one.

"【Blood Moon Demoness】Ji Xiaoyue, an unparalleled genius who attained the Golden Immortal realm through the 【Path of Slaughter】."

As Li Huaiyou traveled, he pondered, "This person is exceptionally talented in the path of killing; he is arguably among the strongest cultivators in the Immortal Realm who specialize in the path of killing."

"Due to his rapid progress in the Path of Slaughter, coupled with Ji Xiaoyue's exceptionally high comprehension in this path... he attained the Golden Immortal realm in just a few hundred thousand years! That's too fast..."

"Ji Xiaoyue should only be a teenager now, and she's still called [Ji Xiaoyue]. There are very few records of her early life; all that's known is that she begged for a living in [Daze Immortal City] in Lanku Prefecture, the first level of the Immortal Realm..."

A smile appeared on Li Huaiyou's lips: "If I could intercept Ji Xiaoyue in advance, do her a favor, or even take her as my disciple... wouldn't that be giving me an extra helper destined to become a Golden Immortal in the future?"

He wasn't afraid that Ji Xiaoyue's fate would be altered, and she might not be able to cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm.

The reason why Ji Xiaoyue, this prodigy, was able to prove himself as a Golden Immortal was almost entirely due to his almost abnormal talent in the Dao of Slaughter, and had little to do with whether or not he had any special opportunities.

Moreover, Li Huaiyou now has detailed information about countless secret realms in his mind... When it comes to arranging opportunities, who can surpass him?

Most importantly, this [Ji Xiaoyue]... does not exist in Li Huaiyou's own memories of rebirth.

This suggests that this person is very likely a prodigy who appeared on the [corrected timeline] after a series of butterfly effects.

In other words, only those who have been instilled with the memories of the "corrected timeline" can possibly know of this person's existence.

"It seems she only took 50,000 years to cultivate to the True Immortal realm? Hmm, that's not too late... According to the memories of True Immortal Yu Chen, even Guan Lingxiao, the fastest cultivator among all the geniuses of the Immortal Continent, did not reach the True Immortal realm 50,000 years later."

Li Huaiyou sneered, "A True Immortal who is skilled in the Way of Slaughter, and the famous Blood Moon Demoness of later generations... No matter how high their achievements may be later, at least at the point of time 50,000 years later, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs."

Filled with excitement, Li Huaiyou accelerated the output of his magical energy, and the light around him suddenly brightened considerably. He sped up and flew towards the [Great Swamp Immortal City] on the map.

"It is said that the Great Swamp Immortal City is built on an isolated island in the center of a huge swamp, hence the name Great Swamp. It should be about 100,000 miles ahead."

When Li Huaiyou arrived at the location marked on the map, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

There was no protective array with flowing rosy light, no towering jade pavilions and immortal towers, no bustling cultivators, not even the Great Swamp... nothing at all.

Beneath his feet, what should have been a vast expanse of clear water was now just a massive, indescribable crater.

It is not a naturally formed basin or canyon; its edges are too regular and smooth, presenting a chilling, "erased" arc-shaped cross-section.

That vast expanse of water, known as "three thousand miles of boundless mist and waves," along with the immortal city within it that housed countless cultivators, simply vanished...

It wasn't sunk, nor destroyed by war, but rather as if it had been uprooted from this world by a colossal hand beyond comprehension, completely "dug" away.

Li Huaiyou hovered high above the edge of the giant pit, the fierce wind making his robes flutter, but it couldn't dispel the sense of absurdity in his heart.

"How can this be?"

Li Huaiyou muttered to himself, his face pale: "Daze Immortal City, one of the famous gathering places for rogue cultivators in Lanku Prefecture, has existed for at least several million years... right at these coordinates!"

"Fellow Daoist, you're too late."

A voice suddenly rang out, startling Li Huaiyou.

"Who?"

Li Huaiyou raised his spiritual shield, holding a precious talisman in his hand, his expression vigilant, and his divine sense scanned the surroundings.

But there was no one around.

A moment later, a sleazy man with a weasel-like face appeared out of nowhere beside him, wearing a strange, almost transparent robe. He was lifting a corner of the robe to reveal a face covered in pockmarks.

"Fellow Daoist, do not be alarmed, do not be alarmed!"

This person's cultivation level was similar to Li Huaiyou's, both being at the Nascent Soul stage, but his aura was weak and his eyes were unfocused. He was clearly someone who was good at scheming but afraid of direct combat.

Seeing that this person's foundation was not solid, Li Huaiyou relaxed a little, but still held the precious talisman in his hand and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, your concealment skills are superb! May I ask where you come from? Don't you understand that hiding beside me is a major taboo?"

"Hehe, we are all serving [the Lord], so why be so wary?"

The lewd-looking man's first words were earth-shattering: "What is your name, fellow Daoist? You're probably here for the [Blood Moon Demoness] too, aren't you?"

"Who are you?!" Li Huaiyou exclaimed in shock.

“My surname is Qian, and like you, I am a ‘second-generation reborn’ chosen by that ‘master’.”

The man surnamed Qian smiled and said, "Aren't you surprised? My reaction when I first met someone of my kind was even worse than yours now."

"There aren't many [Reborn] individuals who have obtained a second [Rebirth Memory], but there aren't a few either... Some fellow cultivators with higher cultivation levels have roughly estimated that they probably only account for about one ten-thousandth of all reborn individuals."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaiyou's expression became complicated. He had actually anticipated that he might not be the only lucky one to receive the memories of a second rebirth.

But he originally thought the number of people would be very small, perhaps only a few, at most a few dozen.

But the result is only one ten-thousandth of the total number of [reborn] beings in the entire Immortal Realm?

It should be known that the entire Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, and the number of [Reborn] is terrifying. Otherwise, why would behemoths like the various Immortal Courts and Demon Courts be unable to kill or capture them all despite issuing warrants? Why can any ordinary Celestial Immortal or even a Mahayana power hide one or two Reborn individuals?

One ten-thousandth of this base number?

Li Huaiyou's vision went black.

In other words, I doubt I'll get a chance to participate in any future opportunities that are made public.

"So you're too late... What exactly was Ji Xiaoyue like in her childhood, and in which area of ​​Daze Immortal City did she live? The future history books don't record it in detail at all. So the entire Daze Immortal City, along with that area of ​​water, was directly dug away by Gao Xiu with his great supernatural powers... Someone will slowly sift through every living being inside, and they will eventually find this 'Blood Moon Demoness' who will later be feared by all!"
