Mu Baiyi originally didn’t care about who was the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin, assuming that with Qin Haoran’s poverty, could there possibly be any money left in his inheritance?

Anything of value would have been sold long ago, so how could it have lasted until now?

He couldn’t plainly tell the three Vice Sect Hierarchs about this; if they knew that the Jiuyou Sect was without money, there would be trouble.

Moreover, the three Vice Sect Hierarchs had deeper seniority than he did; if the three of them wished to fight over Qin Haoran’s legacy, let them fight. Whichever home the flower falls into, what did it have to do with him?

But now it was different—the power of the Heavenly Court Sect was laid out here, and whether Qin Yanyan was a reincarnation or not, she had to be a reincarnation!

Gender was not an issue, nor was there any rule that determined one must retain the same gender after reincarnation.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Court Sect had Heavenly Venerate Dou and the Phoenix Ancestor, surely they were more powerful than the three Vice Sect Hierarchs, so the person they identified was definitely reliable.

If they really could find the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin it would be perfect; this would be the first example to truly confirm the existence of reincarnation!

For the Jiuyou Sect, there could be no better news than this.

The reason they worked hard to build Fengdu was just for this.

Seeing that she couldn’t get any more useful information from Mu Baiyi, the Eldest Senior Sister bid farewell with a word and got up to leave directly.

As people from the Heavenly Court Sect left one after another, Mu Baiyi and the Protectors finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The presence of Sect Leader Yun was too overpowering; even just sitting opposite her made him feel weak in the knees, not to mention those Protectors standing behind him.

"Phew—finally they have left."

Mu Baiyi had been afraid to even breathe too heavily from beginning to end, constantly anxious, fearing a single wrong word might anger these two ancient Great Powers.

The Eldest Senior Sister took Lu Yang and others back to the Seek Dao Sect on a cloud. After the four Elders who were there for show left, they started to analyze the origins of the Jiuyou Sect.

Matters involving Immortals were dangerous; it was harm and no benefit for the Elders to know, it was better not to know.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were already in the game; it made no difference for them to know.

"The role of the Jiuyou Sect is different from what was expected."

"I originally thought that the purpose of establishing the Jiuyou Sect was the same as that of founding the Eternity Sect, which was to condense the outline of the Dao Fruit."

"Looking at the matter with the ancestor of the Jiuyou Sect, it seems that the ’Reincarnation Dao Fruit Outline’ came first, followed by the Jiuyou Sect."

"Who exactly condensed the ’Reincarnation Dao Fruit Outline’?"

"Why not ask Junior Brother Li? As the ninth life, he should know more than Mu Baiyi does," Lu Yang suggested.

Li Haoran was the most solid proof of the "Reincarnation" reality, and he also had the memories of Qin Haoran; he certainly knew more than Mu Baiyi did.

"That’s a good idea."

The Eldest Senior Sister was decisive and immediate in action. As soon as she said they would ask, she led everyone straight to the Fifth Peak.

"Is he in closed-door cultivation?"

The abode of Li Haoran was tightly closed, and there was dust accumulated at the entrance, indicating that he had been in seclusion for at least a month or more.

"He is preparing to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage," the Eldest Senior Sister realized with a sweep of her Spiritual Sense what Li Haoran was doing inside the abode.

"Judging from the progress of his cultivation, he will break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in half a day; let’s wait."

"Alright."

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye for cultivators.

"The breakthrough is coming."

Noticing the fluctuating energy emanating from deep within the abode, this was a sign of approaching the Nascent Soul Stage breakthrough.

The energy in the abode surged and ebbed like towering waves in a tsunami, and like a volcano suppressed for too long, just waiting for an outlet to erupt!

Boom—

At the moment when the energy reached its critical point, the power hidden within the Golden Core fully burst forth, like a volcanic eruption. The intense fire energy was so concentrated that it didn’t even escape the abode!

The Seek Dao Sect provided abodes of extremely high quality for its disciples so it wouldn’t fail to contain the energy of breaking core to reach Nascent.

Meng Jingzhou was an exception; he did it on purpose.

The terrifying flame power converged into the body of its master, and with a loud bang, the abode’s door flung open, revealing Li Haoran’s hearty laughter, "Hahaha, I’ve finally reached the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Then he saw the Eldest Senior Sister and others sitting at the doorway, and his laughter came to an abrupt halt.

"E-Eldest Senior Sister, hello."

"Mm, hello to you too."

"..."

Li Haoran didn’t know what to say because of the sudden appearance of the Eldest Senior Sister.

"You should first stabilize your breath. It’s taboo to experience great joy or sorrow right after a breakthrough."

"Oh, okay."

Li Haoran quickly sat cross-legged on the spot, silently reciting a calming mantra to stabilize his breath and regulate his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he was met with Meng Jingzhou’s looming face, which gave him quite a fright.

"Senior Brother Meng, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

"Just observing what kind of Nascent Soul you’ve condensed to see if I can borrow it."

"So, did you figure it out?"

"No."

Li Haoran’s mouth twitched. Was this something you could just observe by getting closer? He pushed away Meng Jingzhou’s big face, "Then step back, I’ll show you again."

The Eldest Senior Sister was there; it was the perfect opportunity to show off.

Li Haoran summoned his Nascent Soul, which was different from everyone else’s in color, a red Nascent Soul made up of flames.

"A Nascent Soul that has absorbed two types of True Fire?" Both the Eldest Senior Sister and Jiang Lianyi had seen many Nascent Souls, especially Jiang Lianyi, who had seen many types of Nascent Souls during the era of ancient geniuses.

Except for Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and the Man Gu’s.

"Cultivators with the Fire Spirit Root have a chance to condense a Nascent Soul like this one. Because of its affinity with flame and its baby-like appearance, the Cultivation World usually refers to this kind of Nascent Soul as..."

Lu Yang blurted out, "Red Child?"

The Eldest Senior Sister glanced at Lu Yang, "Huo Ying."

"But that’s just a matter of naming. Like how Junior Brother Meng’s Single Body Spiritual Root is also known as the Pure Yang Spirit Root, you can call it Red Child if you like."

"Ignite!"

Li Haoran shouted loudly, and under the influence of the Huo Ying, his body erupted in blazing True Fire, preventing any enemy from approaching.

"Does your Nascent Soul have any other functions?" Meng Jingzhou asked again.

Li Haoran laughed heartily, dissipating the True Fire, "Of course, it does."

"But that’s all theoretical; give me a moment to prepare."

Li Haoran frowned in silence for a long time, retracted his Nascent Soul into his body, and then let out a pained cry.

There was a loud bang, and Li Haoran’s body exploded, tearing into pieces, his limbs, torso, and head flying in different directions, startling Meng Jingzhou immensely.

Had Junior Brother Li finally succumbed to the pain of relying on others and chosen to end his misery?

At that moment, Li Haoran was flying freely in the air, even doing flips and somersaults, laughing as he explained, "Don’t panic, Senior Brother Meng, this is the ability of my Nascent Soul."

While speaking, Li Haoran’s limbs and torso started to move, taking on different postures, clearly being controlled by someone.

"The Regeneration Golden Core allows me to regenerate from severed limbs, and after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, this ability has been enhanced. Even if my body is dismembered like this, I can still control and recover."

"However, the head consumes too much to restore, so I’ve decided to do this."

The limbs and torso formed a new whole, displaying various skills, while Li Haoran’s head hid at a distance, his expression smug and proud.

"In this way, my head won’t get hurt."
