Chapter 496: Chapter 489: Successively Awakening Past Life Memories

Du Youqian smiled. "No matter what you call me, it’s still me."

Luo Jinyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then chuckled. "You’re right, Senior Brother. I just didn’t think it through. Both lives are me. It’s just that I lived longer in my last life, and I’ve only been alive for seventeen years in this one, so my previous life has a greater influence. But regardless of whether it’s my past life or this one, now that I’ve broken through the Mystery of the Womb, it is undoubtedly all me. I cannot deny myself."

Du Youqian understood his state of mind completely. "You’ve only just awakened your Past Life Memory. Those memories are vast, and you’ll need some time to digest them. So rest and adjust for a while first. Don’t be in a hurry to start your Cultivation. You must know that haste makes waste. Cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation."

Luo Jinyu smiled. "Speaking from experience, Senior Brother?"

"Yes." Du Youqian no longer shied away from the fact that he could always awaken his Past Life Memory after reincarnating.

’From others’ perspective, it looks like I can only awaken a portion of my memories anyway.’

’It’s a bit outrageous, but still barely acceptable.’

’If people knew I could awaken one hundred percent of my memories and even inherit my Divine Abilities... I’m afraid even a Tier Seven Great Power wouldn’t be able to resist capturing me for a Soul Search.’

The Ghost Belly Cat Demon King rested for a few days, then asked Du Youqian who he planned to have awaken their memories next.

Du Youqian already had a plan. He called Wu Ai over and gave her a few instructions.

He saw that Wu Ai’s face was as red as a ripe apple, and her gaze shifted nervously as she looked at Du Youqian.

Du Youqian "flipped through" her thoughts and was momentarily speechless.

It turned out that Lin Sha had gone to see Fang Hua a short while ago, acting high and mighty, deliberately provoking her, and even spouting a lot of risqué remarks.

Fang Hua hadn’t shown any unusual reaction, but Wu Ai had been so embarrassed that her heart had been pounding wildly for a long time. Even now, the way she looked at Du Youqian was off.

This was especially true after everyone told her that she had also once been Du Youqian’s woman and had been intimate with him.

’What does my past life have to do with me? I’m just an innocent maiden now! Why did I have to hear such mortifying things!’

Wu Ai truly didn’t want to awaken her Past Life Memory.

She felt that whether her past life was good or bad, it was all in the past.

Since this life was a brand new start, why did she have to be influenced by her past life?

Unfortunately, her words carried little weight, and she had no say in the matter.

"Lord Immortal Master!" Wu Ai bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

Du Youqian had already sensed her thoughts and couldn’t help but sigh. "Just say what’s on your mind. There’s no need for such pleasantries between us."

Wu Ai insisted, "Perhaps in my last life, I was very close to you, Lord Immortal Master. But this is a new life, after all, and propriety cannot be abandoned. If you wish to awaken my Past Life Memory, I can only obey. But if, after awakening my Past Life Memory, I no longer wish to be as close to you as I was in our last life, I ask for your forgiveness. You are magnanimous and refined; surely you won’t hold it against a coarse Jianghu woman like me."

Du Youqian laughed helplessly. "As you wish. Don’t overthink it for now. Cooperate with the Ghost Belly Cat Demon King. We can’t afford any mistakes while awakening your Past Life Memory."

Wu Ai said solemnly, "I may only be a woman, but I know that a promise is worth its weight in gold. Since I’ve promised you, Lord Immortal Master, that I will cooperate, I will absolutely cooperate fully."

Du Youqian nodded and said no more.

As Wu Ai entered the secret chamber and began to awaken her Past Life Memory under the Ghost Belly Cat Demon King’s Divine Abilities, Li Fei quietly approached Du Youqian’s side.

Looking at Du Youqian, who seemed to be lost in thought, she sat down beside him, her pretty face slightly flushed. After a moment, thinking she was being completely stealthy, she shifted a little closer.

A moment later, she moved a little more.

Slowly, she got closer and closer to Du Youqian.

Du Youqian turned his head and smiled warmly. "What is it?"

Li Fei was like a little thief caught in the act, her head bowed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Sen-Senior," Li Fei felt her throat tighten and her tongue refuse to obey, so flustered she was on the verge of tears. "I... I just... just wanted... wanted to..."

"Don’t rush, speak slowly." Du Youqian was very patient with those around him.

Even though Li Fei wasn’t actually one of his women, just a subordinate.

But her infatuation and loyalty moved Du Youqian, making him willing to grant her sufficient patience and rewards.

’Any reward would do, except for offering myself to her.’

Li Fei wiped her teary eyes and said cautiously, "I was thinking... I wanted to ask... if I fail to awaken my Past Life Memory, in the future, can... can I still stay by your side?"

Du Youqian chuckled in spite of himself. "Of course. Were you planning on leaving?"

Li Fei instantly seemed like a different person. Her face beamed with a dazzling radiance, and a light immediately returned to her eyes. "I understand! Let me be the next one to awaken my memories!"

Du Youqian had planned to arrange it this way anyway. Hearing her words, he gently patted the young woman’s head. "Alright. Once Wu Ai comes out, you can go in."

「A few days later.」

Wu Ai walked out of the secret chamber, her expression serene.

She glanced at Du Youqian, then quickly looked away.

Du Youqian naturally caught her thoughts and shook his head with a laugh.

Wu Ai immediately knew that he had caught her thoughts. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and with a stamp of her foot, she sped past Du Youqian.

"Wait!"

Wu Ai deliberately put on a stern face. Without looking at Du Youqian, her gaze fixed elsewhere, she said, "For what reason does Fellow Daoist call for this humble Daoist?"

Du Youqian smiled. "Every time you call yourself ’this humble Daoist,’ I actually feel it more."

Wu Ai’s face felt like it was on fire. "Don’t be like that..." she said weakly.

Du Youqian stopped teasing her and said seriously, "What are your thoughts on your Cultivation in this life? You can, of course, continue practicing the Taihe Sect’s Shenxiao Purple Clouds Reflecting Jade Divine Inner Scripture. But I don’t think that Cultivation Technique is suitable for you in this life."

"Why isn’t it suitable?" Wu Ai retorted. "This humble Daoist is very familiar with that Cultivation Technique. Practicing it would yield twice the results with half the effort."

Du Youqian said slowly, "Practicing that Cultivation Technique would be a waste of your Earth Spirit Root. I have a Cultivation Technique that’s more suitable for you. Or, to be precise, one that is only suitable for Cultivation by those with a Celestial Spirit Root or an Earth Spirit Root."

A contemplative look flashed through Wu Ai’s clear eyes, and she didn’t answer immediately.

Du Youqian smiled. "It’s a major decision. No need to rush it."

He took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Wu Ai. "This contains the Supreme Cave Truth Nine Revolutions and Nine Transformations Celestial Dance Scripture. Take a look at it first."

"Alright," Wu Ai accepted it calmly. After walking a few steps, she turned back. "You and Lin Sha have already..."

Du Youqian chuckled. "How could I possibly damage her Dao Foundation? I’d at least have to wait until she successfully reaches Foundation Establishment."

Wu Ai gave a charming smile. "I knew it. That girl is rotten to the core. You wouldn’t mind if I teach her a little lesson, would you?"

Du Youqian suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"I’ve suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I need to go into seclusion to verify it..."

’If I can’t afford to offend them, can’t I at least hide?’

’I will absolutely not step into a Chaotic Scene. The moment I see one, I’m running!’

After fleeing the scene, Du Youqian pondered.

In this life, Lin Sha had an Upper Grade Spirit Root, which was actually quite good. For an ordinary person, an Upper Grade Spirit Root meant there was hope of reaching Core Formation.

However, it wasn’t good enough to qualify her for the Cultivation of the Supreme Cave Truth Nine Revolutions and Nine Transformations Celestial Dance Scripture. Otherwise, it was entirely possible she would die of old age before completing the Third Transition.

Luo Jinyu’s Top Grade Spirit Root barely met the threshold to cultivate the Supreme Cave Truth Nine Revolutions and Nine Transformations Celestial Dance Scripture.

However, his natural talent and aptitude were not outstanding, so Du Youqian didn’t want him to cultivate the Supreme Cave Truth Nine Revolutions and Nine Transformations Celestial Dance Scripture either.

In this life, Fang Hua could choose a Scripture-level Cultivation Technique to practice, or she could try a technique from the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion and walk the path of a pure Sword Cultivator. However, Du Youqian didn’t think this was the best choice.

’I’ll just have to see what she chooses for herself.’

Li Fei’s Middle Grade Spirit Root was, at least, much better than her previous life’s. Du Youqian would do his best to help her reach Core Formation.

As for the path after Core Formation, it would be difficult for Du Youqian to help much.

And then there was Wu Ai.

Wu Ai’s Spirit Root and Comprehension were both top-tier.

It would be a real shame if she didn’t cultivate the Supreme Cave Truth Nine Revolutions and Nine Transformations Celestial Dance Scripture.

’The others might need to reincarnate a few more times to keep up with me.’

’Only Wu Ai, if things went smoothly, wouldn’t need to reincarnate again at all. If she continued on this path, her prospects for the Dao are promising.’

But if she continued to cultivate the Taihe Sect’s Shenxiao Purple Clouds Reflecting Jade Divine Inner Scripture, her hopes of achieving Enlightenment would be much smaller.

’How will she choose?’

Of course, Du Youqian wouldn’t force her.

Between Dao Companions, if you couldn’t respect each other’s choices, it was better to part ways amicably and sooner rather than later.
