Bai Xiaofan, who was wholly immersed in comprehending the fruit of reincarnation, had already forgotten about time, forgotten about the eight-winged Dapeng outside, and forgotten about everything, as if there was only himself in the universe.
The eight-winged Dapeng, silently calculating the time, felt an increasingly strong sense of astonishment in its expression.
This was already the fifteenth day. Although it didn't know how much faster the time inside the boundary stone space was compared to the outside world, according to its calculations, Bai Xiaofan should have comprehended the ninth cycle of reincarnation by now.
Yet Bai Xiaofan still had his eyes tightly closed, without any movement from beginning to end.
A strange yet undeniably hopeful expectation arose spontaneously in the heart of the eight-winged Dapeng.
Could it be that Bai Xiaofan's comprehension of reincarnation had already surpassed that of its master, the Liuyun Xian Emperor?
Calculating by time, Bai Xiaofan had surpassed the ninth cycle of reincarnation, but it knew the strength of the Liuyun Xian Emperor and was aware that countless powerful cultivators had consumed the fruit of reincarnation and comprehended the Power of Reincarnation, yet none had surpassed the Liuyun Xian Emperor.
Therefore, it didn't dare to believe that Bai Xiaofan would have the ability to surpass the Liuyun Xian Emperor.
This tense and uneasy emotion kept swirling in the heart of the eight-winged Dapeng.
On the twentieth day, the eight-winged Dapeng was even worried about Bai Xiaofan's safety.
It had heard the Liuyun Xian Emperor mention that without a determined mind, it was possible to become lost in reincarnation.
Could it be that Bai Xiaofan had already gotten lost within it?
If that were the case, it would be a pity for the Power of Laws passed on to Bai Xiaofan and even more regrettable for Bai Xiaofan, such a gifted Child of Heaven's Path.
At this moment, Bai Xiaofan had already comprehended the twenty-ninth reincarnation!
In this lifetime, he transformed into a handsome young scholar, neither cultivating nor as formidable as in previous lives, just an ordinary impoverished scholar.
He took the imperial exam several times but failed each time!
However, Bai Xiaofan didn't lose heart because, by his side, there was always a kind and understanding, beautiful, and gentle girl accompanying him.
The girl's name was something that Bai Xiaofan in reincarnation was very fond of, as if he'd heard it somewhere before.
Murong Yue!
This was the girl's name!
She never despised his poverty, nor did she look down on him for repeatedly failing the exams.
Their days were somewhat bitter, but they knew how to find joy amidst the hardships.
During temple fairs, the two would stroll together, guessing lantern riddles.
With occasional silver gained from teaching, Bai Xiaofan would secretly buy her a piece of jewelry to make Murong Yue happy.
Although each time Murong Yue would blame him for spending money carelessly, Bai Xiaofan could see and feel the joy in Murong Yue's heart.
Finally, after numerous failures, perhaps out of heaven's mercy, he passed as a Jinshi, achieving the third place in the national exam!
Elated, Bai Xiaofan rode a tall horse back home, intending to bring Murong Yue to a happy life, only to find her lying in a pool of blood.
In his home, however, there were a few bandits holding several bundles, preparing to flee!
Seeing Murong Yue brutally killed by the bandits, Bai Xiaofan hurried to her body, holding it in his arms, crying out in anguish.
The bandits were slain by the soldiers who had accompanied him!
Holding Murong Yue's body, Bai Xiaofan cried for three days and nights until he cried himself blind!
Overwhelmed by sorrow, Bai Xiaofan didn't go to the Capital City to take office but picked up the bandit's knife, plunging it into his heart, dying alongside Murong Yue.
The people around were shocked by Bai Xiaofan's sudden action and rushed forward to take Bai Xiaofan to a healer, only to be surprised to find a smile on Bai Xiaofan's lips.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
They vaguely recalled a saying, people who die with a smile cannot be saved, as it's their final decision in this life; they cannot be brought back!
Upon hearing this news, the local authorities ordered the burial of Bai Xiaofan and Murong Yue together!
The story of the two was passed down among the common folk as a romantic tale.
Although this tale was tinged with tragedy, the love between them was revered by countless young men.
They believed that if two people loved each other enough, even in death, they would surely meet and fall in love again in another life...
Reincarnation continued, and strangely, even when Bai Xiaofan reached the thirtieth cycle of reincarnation, he still remembered the twenty-ninth reincarnation.
However, many details were forgotten; he only remembered that in that life, there was a woman he loved deeply, and she was called Murong Yue...
In the blink of an eye, a month had quietly passed in the outside world.
During this month, the eight-winged Dapeng hadn't moved an inch, its eyes still unblinkingly fixed on Bai Xiaofan in the boundary stone space.
It hesitated, unsure whether to forcibly awaken Bai Xiaofan from reincarnation.
Doing so might cause significant physical trouble for Bai Xiaofan, but it was better than being lost forever in reincarnation.
It hoped that Bai Xiaofan might not be lost in reincarnation, but perhaps his innate talent was so extraordinary that he had already surpassed its master, the Liuyun Xian Emperor, and reached a deeper level of understanding...
If that were the case, even if he had only comprehended one more cycle of reincarnation than Liuyun Xian Emperor, it would offer tremendous help to his own power.
Amidst this hesitation and hope, another five days passed!
The eight-winged Dapeng finally couldn't wait any longer and wanted to attempt waking Bai Xiaofan.
However, just as it was about to act, Bai Xiaofan in the boundary stone space suddenly opened his eyes, with dark golden halos appearing around him!
In an instant, all the dark golden halos were absorbed into Bai Xiaofan's body!
A formidable aura emanated from Bai Xiaofan, even causing the eight-winged Dapeng standing on guard to stagger back a step. It had to activate its internal primal force to stop being affected by the aura!
But in that fleeting moment, the eight-winged Dapeng was sure it felt an aura powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, pressing toward it as if intending to tear this supreme being into shreds.
In the time of the eight-winged Dapeng's astonishment, Bai Xiaofan had already stepped out, departing from the boundary stone space, standing before it.
With a wave of his large hand, Bai Xiaofan retracted the boundary stone space back into his body!
