Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

’Apparently, both the Main World and the Rebirth World are hiding secrets. But with the limited information I have, I have no idea what’s really going on.’

’But no matter what secrets the Main World is hiding, as long as my strength keeps growing and my authority within the Rebirth Mark gets higher, I’ll eventually get a glimpse of the truth.’

’Worrying about it now is not only useless, but it will also cloud my mind and keep me from focusing on getting stronger.’

With that thought, Li Chang’an chose to store the memories from this reincarnation.

Of course, this time he didn’t store all of his memories, choosing instead to keep the more precious ones.

Retrieving stored memories was often a hassle, as he had to rely on keywords to extract specific information.

He hadn’t lived for long in this life, so keeping some of the memories wouldn’t be too much of a burden on his mind.

…

Rubbing his temples to recover from the recent shock and fright, Li Chang’an let out a slow breath and began to take stock of his gains from this reincarnation.

From this reincarnation, he had obtained a total of 530,000 Rebirth Points, fifteen uses of Extra Reincarnation Authority, two unique special titles, one Bone Marrow Cleansing Package, one SSS-Class Origin Infusion, fifteen Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields, and a High-Level Talent Exchange Scroll.

Over five hundred thousand Rebirth Points. Compared to his gains from the last reincarnation, this seemed like a significant drop.

But Li Chang’an was more than satisfied.

After all, he had only lived for a little over thirty years in this reincarnation.

That was far, far less time than the two-thousand-plus years he had spent on the Li Yang Continent.

To get such rewards in that time was already unbelievably good.

The SSS-Level top-tier rating he had received from the Li Yang Continent was a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After a quick scan, he saw nothing among his rewards that required special attention—with one exception. He had to take a closer look at the ’Explorer Pioneer’ title.

[Unique Special Title: Explorer Pioneer]

[Special Title Effect 1: Crisis and Opportunity (As an explorer who dares to take the first step, you will gain an additional luck Attribute when encountering danger. For you, the most dangerous places may also be the safest! Of course, when activating this special effect, you must be certain you are merely facing danger, not staring death in the face…)]

[Special Title Effect 2: Explorer’s Courage (When exploring dangerous areas, all of your Attributes will be boosted. The size of the boost will depend on the surrounding environment!)]

[Special Title Effect 3: Sure-Footed (Your speed will be boosted. When traversing dangerous and rugged paths, it will be as if you have your own pair of ’invisible wings’!)]

As he read the information about the ’Explorer Pioneer’ title that appeared in his vision, Li Chang’an cracked a grin. He was pleasantly surprised, as he had initially assumed its effects wouldn’t be very good.

He hadn’t expected the boosts to his Attributes and the other effects to be so much better than he had imagined.

’Maybe that’s just how life is. When you least expect it, you get the sweetest rewards.’

After taking stock of all his rewards, Li Chang’an began the Washing Marrow and Sinews and the SS-Level Energy Infusion.

The effects of Washing Marrow and Sinews weren’t as significant for Li Chang’an anymore, but a full-body cleanse still managed to wash out a considerable amount of impurities.

Honestly, Li Chang’an himself was surprised that his body still contained impurities to be washed out. But the Rebirth Mark made it happen. Not only that, but every cleanse left Li Chang’an with a feeling of being ’born anew’.

It was as if his entire body had been reset to its factory settings.

With the Washing Marrow and Sinews complete, it was time for the main event. Li Chang’an had a feeling this Energy Infusion would also bring him some pleasant surprises.

Sure enough, as a tidal wave of Energy surged into his body, Li Chang’an could clearly feel his power growing stronger.

Not only that, but Li Chang’an even noticed wisps of dark flames appearing on his body!

After sensing them for a moment, Li Chang’an quickly realized they were all Soul Fire—and these flames were even purer than the Soul Fire he had already refined countless times before.

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment and quickly figured out the reason: after the reincarnation, his various Attributes had become stronger and purer, which in turn caused his Soul Fire to become purer and more fearsome.

’This stuff is incredible!’

Li Chang’an focused his mind and commanded the Soul Fire to erupt, greedily devouring all the Energy in the Rebirth Space and converting it into nourishing power that poured into his body.

Combined with Li Chang’an’s own frantic absorption, the two effects stacked. It was as if a human-shaped funnel, several meters in diameter, had appeared in the Rebirth Space, voraciously consuming the Energy pouring down from the Rebirth Mark like a storm sweeping away clouds.

He lost all track of time.

When the very last drop of Energy had been devoured, Li Chang’an opened his eyes, deeply satisfied.

Thanks to the Soul Fire assisting with the absorption, even though this was only an SS-Level Energy Infusion, Li Chang’an had absorbed even more Energy than during his last SSS-Level one!

He had jumped two Small Realms in one go.

He was now a Sixth Rank Middle Stage Martial Artist!

Feeling the searing, seemingly endless power coursing through his body, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but roar with laughter. Even the gloom caused by the earlier dark incursion was swept away in an instant.

At this moment, Li Chang’an’s ego swelled. He felt invincible, as if he could obliterate any fiend or demon with a single punch!
