Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Return to the Main World

One chance to draw an Innate Divine Technique, one S-Level Origin Infusion, five Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields, three instances of Extra Reincarnation Authority, and a whopping 140,000 Rebirth Points.

Even for veteran Reincarnators, this was an absolutely massive haul of rewards!

It would be a lie to say Li Chang’an wasn’t excited.

But he knew this wasn’t the time to get carried away.

’Let’s see… I need to do the Origin Infusion first and recover some of my strength!’

Back in the Rebirth World, Li Chang’an had possessed enough power to remain calm even when cornered.

But now, aside from his Heaven-defying Comprehension talent, this body had no Martial Arts Cultivation whatsoever. For someone accustomed to wielding great power, this made him extremely uneasy.

Fortunately, according to what he had learned at the Rebirth School, once a Reincarnator’s Rebirth Mark was recognized and bound as a Permanent Rebirth Mark, they would often get a chance for an Origin Infusion.

This so-called Origin Infusion was, in fact, similar to the Power Transmission found in Martial Hero Worlds.

The greater a Reincarnator’s achievements and strength in a Rebirth World, the higher the level of the Power Transmission they would receive, and the benefits would also rise sharply.

’I wonder if the S-Class Origin Infusion will have a surprise for me?’ With that thought, Li Chang’an didn’t hesitate and spoke directly, “Rebirth Mark, begin the Origin Infusion!”

The moment he finished speaking, Li Chang’an instantly felt a scorching energy descend from above, pouring into his body through his bones, skin, and even his blood.

Sensing the endless stream of energy, Li Chang’an didn’t dare to be careless, urging his body to absorb it madly like a sponge.

About fifteen minutes later, Li Chang’an was drenched in sweat, and the impurities and grime expelled from his body had nearly encased him in a layer of filth. Only then did the S-Class Origin Infusion finally end.

Li Chang’an tried to stand up. The moment he did, a series of CRACKLES AND POPS echoed from his bones, muscles, and tendons, and he had grown a full three to four centimeters taller.

’Nice. The S-Class Energy Infusion is truly extraordinary. It directly restored eighty percent of my previous life’s strength. I just need to acclimate a little, and I’ll be back at my peak in no time…’ Feeling the familiar yet strange power within him, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but crack a smile.

Normally, when a Reincarnator returned from a Rebirth World, getting back fifty percent of their cultivation from that world was already considered excellent.

But he had recovered a full eighty percent, making him the cream of the crop.

It was only at this moment that the heavy weight on Li Chang’an’s heart was finally lifted.

After another moment’s thought, Li Chang’an decided not to leave the Rebirth Space just yet. Instead, he began to take stock of the rest of his spoils.

“Rebirth Mark, draw an Innate Divine Technique!”

[Drawing Innate Divine Technique!]

A massive, multicolored prize wheel appeared in the pure white Rebirth Space.

As the Rebirth Mark emitted a brilliant golden light, the wheel began to spin slowly, its diamond-shaped pointer in the center gliding over one reward after another.

The names of a dozen or so Innate Divine Techniques were written on the wheel, but it was spinning too fast for Li Chang’an to read any of them clearly.

The wheel spun for several seconds before finally coming to a stop in a red section.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Red-tier Innate Divine Technique—Qi Observation Skill!]

[Qi Observation Skill (Divine Technique): You may pay a corresponding price to view a person’s Destiny. The greater their Destiny, the heavier the price you must pay. Conversely, the lower their Destiny, the smaller the price!]

[The Qi Observation Skill is great, but don’t get greedy!]

Looking at the Innate Divine Technique displayed on his retina by the Rebirth Mark, Li Chang’an’s lips twitched slightly. This so-called ’Qi Observation Skill’ was actually a very practical skill.

Whether in the Main World or a Rebirth World, it could play a significant role if used correctly.

The shitty part, however, was that the Rebirth Mark didn’t specify what the price was. If it was too high, wouldn’t the skill be too costly to use, yet too valuable to simply discard?

’It’s a Red-tier Divine Technique, after all. It can’t be that much of a rip-off, right?’ Li Chang’an muttered uncertainly, deciding not to dwell on it any longer.

The remaining three rewards weren’t of immediate use.

It was time to return to reality.

Li Chang’an raised his arm, gently touched the Rebirth Mark, and said, “Return!”

A brilliant white light blossomed before him, and Li Chang’an instinctively closed his eyes. In that instant, his body seemed to cross the long river of time and space, reappearing on the Rebirth Square.

…

Outside the Rebirth Square, Li Jianfei walked out of the hall, his face deathly pale. With him were dozens of other students, all with varying expressions.

As expected, the vast majority of these students were pale and dazed.

From a distance, they looked like walking corpses.

Only a small portion held their heads high, like victorious roosters, eager to announce to the entire world that they had become Official Reincarnators and earned the right to step into the Extraordinary.

Li Jianfei stumbled back to his class’s designated area, looking completely out of it.

The looks his classmates gave him were incredibly complicated.

Clearly, even though Li Jianfei hadn’t said a word, the expression on his face said it all.

He had failed his reincarnation!

His homeroom teacher, Qin Yang, opened his mouth, wanting to offer some words of comfort. But after hesitating for a long moment, he could only let out a heavy sigh and pat Li Jianfei’s shoulder. “Don’t lose heart. Nine times out of ten, life doesn’t go your way, and you can hardly talk to anyone about most of it… If it were that easy to become a Reincarnator, their status wouldn’t be so high!”

His attempt at consolation had no effect.

Or perhaps Li Jianfei simply didn’t hear him, automatically tuning it out.

At this moment, he felt as if all the color had drained from the world around him. What was unfolding before his eyes wasn’t a vivid, colorful movie…

…but an absurd and comical black-and-white silent film.

After a long silence, Li Jianfei seemed to remember something and blurted out, “Chang’an, where’s Chang’an? Did he make it?”

The homeroom teacher, Qin Yang, shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Jianfei’s expression darkened further. He muttered, “Is that so? Chang’an failed too… But we promised we’d become Permanent Reincarnators and change the world together!”

Hearing his words, Qin Yang was just about to explain.

But just then, an arrogant student happened to be walking by.

Overhearing Li Jianfei’s muttering, the student couldn’t help but snort with laughter. “Heh, it’s good to have dreams, but when they’re that unrealistic, it’s just a joke!”

Seeing everyone’s eyes turn to him, including two female classmates he had once admired, the student became thrilled, his desire to show off surging.

He cleared his throat pretentiously and said, “The Rebirth Mark doesn’t give you special treatment just because you have lofty ideals. Even I only managed to succeed by a stroke of luck after pouring in immense blood, sweat, and tears!”
