Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 2012: Reborn Again, Complete Inheritance

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!!

The voice of the remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix was filled with despair and resentment. The energy cluster struggled frantically in the flames, but could not break free. Its breath grew weaker and weaker. "No! I am not reconciled!!"

However, upon hearing Bingfeng's inexplicable words, Mo Fan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and frowned in surprise, asking, "You know me?"

"Know you?" The remnant soul let out a sharp sneer, filled with deep-seated hatred. "Even if you change your appearance and identity, even if you turn to ashes, I will never forget the supreme aura that is deeply ingrained in your consciousness!"

"A forbidden body! A demon of the Devouring Heaven lineage!!"

"Back then, you were the one who devoured my entire Ice Phoenix clan and slaughtered my Ice Witch lineage. Now, what are you doing here pretending to be innocent?!"

These words struck Mo Fan like heavy hammer blows, leaving him utterly bewildered and his anger flaring. He couldn't help but shout angrily, "Nonsense! I've never seen any Ice Phoenix Valley, much less devoured your clan! Don't spout nonsense and throw accusations at me like that!!"

With a furious roar, he no longer held back, pushing the power of the laws to its limit. The fire of his divine sense instantly transformed into a raging inferno, determined to completely incinerate this ancient remnant soul.

"Hahahaha...I see! I get it! I get it!!"

The remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix suddenly let out a maniacal laugh, filled with sorrow and madness, "You have indeed been reborn again!"

"Your entire lineage is born evil, an unforgivable scourge of heaven and earth, destined to be annihilated by the entire universe!!"

"Hahahaha... Now I'm satisfied! I curse you, that you will never attain immortality, forever trapped in the cycle of mortal reincarnation, endlessly sinking into depravity, never to be liberated!!"

"So what if you have a forbidden body? So what if you are exceptionally talented?"

"In the past, which of the various races in the heavens did not produce an exceptionally talented and powerful individual? Which of them did not have a period of unparalleled glory?"

The remnant soul's voice was filled with endless mockery and sorrow, "But what was the end result? My Ice Phoenix Clan, my Ice Witch lineage, once once awe-inspiring throughout the world, have in the end turned into dust and vanished into the long river of time?"

"Your fate will be the same!!"

"The so-called cultivation of immortality and the pursuit of eternal life are ultimately nothing but a mirage!"

"Though I die, I am freed; but you are destined to struggle and sink in this endless mortal world, enduring eternal suffering!"

Ha ha ha ha……!"

The maniacal laughter echoed through the secret realm, carrying a strong sense of curse, and finally dissipated into the void as the power of the remnant soul was completely annihilated.

The remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix was completely annihilated, but Mo Fan couldn't be happy. The words she had just spoken still echoed in his mind, making him very uneasy.

"Uncle Qian, has this guy gone mad?"

What exactly did she mean by what she just said?

"What do you mean I've really been reborn again?"

Mo Fan frowned, countless thoughts flashing through his mind, but all of them filled him with fear.

He was able to accept that he was a reborn person.

But what he couldn't accept was that he had been reborn repeatedly. If that was the case, then who exactly was he?

Who is the real self?

"Kid, don't overthink it. That guy must have gone mad, or maybe at some point in the past, her clan participated in hunting down cultivators of your lineage, and thus suffered retaliation, resulting in the complete extermination of their race," Grandpa Qian comforted him.

"Then why did she say I was reborn?"

"You say you remember my scent?"

Mo Fan frowned.

"Well, I think the aura she's referring to isn't yours, but mine."

Grandpa Qian slowly opened his mouth and continued, "Do you remember that I once said that your lineage has appeared several times?"

It must be said that I, the Immortal Venerable, am destined to meet your lineage, as I encounter cultivators from your lineage almost every time.

Therefore, it is highly likely that in some era in the past, I, the Immortal Venerable, together with that ancestor of your lineage, destroyed the Ice Phoenix Clan, which is why she has such a deep memory of my aura.

Just now, in order to help you destroy her remnant soul, she sensed my aura and mistakenly thought you were still the same cultivator you used to be.

But your cultivation level is clearly lower than it used to be, which is why she suspects you've been reborn.

Is that so?

"Now that you mention it, it seems quite reasonable."

Mo Fan nodded, completely relieved, then frowned and asked, "Uncle Qian, why did you and that senior destroy the Ice Phoenix Clan back then?"

How would I know?

"I've lost many of my memories since I was severely injured," Grandpa Qian said helplessly.

"Well... okay!"

Mo Fan sighed upon hearing this, but quickly calmed down.

In his view, whatever happened between his ancestor and the Ice Phoenix lineage was their business, and had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, what the remnant spirit of the Ice Phoenix said might not necessarily be true.

As for destroying the opponent's lingering resentment just now, it was merely out of self-preservation. Logically and emotionally, I am still right.

With this thought in mind, Mo Fan's mind cleared of all distractions. He looked at the large lake not far away, where it was rapidly disintegrating, turning into specks of starlight that rose up and coalesced into a scroll in the high sky.

The scroll prominently depicted a large lake and a towering parasol tree, upon which nine snow-white ice phoenixes perched.

“A painting… no, this is… the aura of laws…”

"Could this be the array of laws left behind by the Ice Phoenix?"

Mo Fan looked at the painting in the sky with some surprise and uncertainty.

"This object does indeed contain an array of laws, and it also seals the inheritance of the Ice Phoenix. It seems to contain the complete power of laws!"

Wow...that's quite a grand gesture!

It seems you might have been right. The so-called inheritance that Ice Phoenix mentioned was a complete lie. She never intended to pass on her inheritance to anyone else; it was just preparation for her own possession of another body!

If you are possessed by her, then she can use the inheritance sealed within this scroll to rapidly become powerful in a very short time.

But now, all of this is yours!

"Young man, you've really hit the jackpot! This is the complete inheritance of an ancient Great Sage Realm expert!" Grandpa Qian exclaimed in admiration.

"The complete legacy of the ancient sage..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up. He flashed to the front of the painting, raised his hand and ran it over the surface. He felt an intense chill, as if endless icy coldness was hidden within it.

"Unfortunately, this inheritance contains the Way of Frost, which is not suitable for me."

"However... I've thought of a more suitable candidate!"

Mo Fan grinned, then asked Grandpa Qian to carefully sense the painting again. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers in the painting, he put it away.
