Chapter 1136 - 623: Memories of a Past Life Will Sooner or Later Be Left Behind (Double-Length)
Xu Chang’an trusts Li Zhibai very much.
Moreover, this trust is gradually increasing...
Zhu Pingniang feels it’s correct; the woman named Li Zhibai can, in circumstances where Yun Qian fills Xu’s heart completely, forcibly carve out a small space for herself.
She is a teacher, a senior.
Miss Yun is a wife.
So, thankfully, there’s no conflict... Of course, the most important thing is perhaps Xu Chang’an realizes Li Zhibai can not only help him but also Yun Qian.
In this world, it’s not just him who needs a senior; Miss Yun also needs one.
Thus, there’s no one more stable, earnest, and formidable than the teacher.
Therefore, for the first time, he can reveal before this person that he remembers some reincarnation-related facts.
Know this: he has matters from his past life, things he hasn’t even mentioned to Miss Yun, yet faintly reveals them to Li Zhibai now.
——This isn’t because he trusts Yun Qian less; it’s purely because telling Miss Yun is pointless.
Li Zhibai: "..."
Even though Xu Chang’an is constantly changing, in Li Zhibai’s eyes, all his transformations have a traceable pattern; every mark, whether from time or beliefs, on his body has an explainable reason.
Therefore, this change can let her be at ease.
Taking a deep breath, Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an.
"Chang’an... you’ve always had memories of a past life?"
Speaking such words feels quite strange because Li Zhibai is not some curious maiden from the mortal world but a Hidden Immortal from Chaoyun Sect... Reasonably speaking, she should find it laughable when hearing someone say this.
Because, as long as one’s cultivation is somewhat advanced and understands the nature of the soul, they absolutely wouldn’t believe reincarnation exists. If someone truly carries memories from a previous life, it indicates reincarnation exists... Hence a severe issue arises: retaining memories suggests reincarnation is related to the soul.
The present cultivation realm cultivates the soul. People like Li Zhibai, even if their flesh is destroyed, would never perish... So, this point of reincarnation would bizarrely impact the current cultivation practices.
However, if Xu Chang’an says it, she believes it.
"Memories from a past life..." Xu Chang’an gently rubbed his brow.
Actually, he doesn’t know how to describe his state.
His memories, after all, are fragmented; he didn’t grow in this world until about ten years old.
"Teacher, to be honest... certain things often surface in my mind, but whether they are memories from a past life or... something else, I’m also unsure." Xu Chang’an lightly sighed, with a bitter smile: "Teacher, before meeting her, I lost my memory."
"Lost your memory... so you cannot confirm the authenticity of those memories in your mind?" Li Zhibai instantly understood, blinking faster, then asked: "Chang’an, how do you recall those memories?"
"Very strange." Xu Chang’an thought if viewing his past-life memories from a native’s point of view, it would seem bizarrely colorful, considering steel-laden metropolises spanned the entire world, scenes even Li Zhibai couldn’t imagine.
After a pause, Xu Chang’an said: "From today’s standpoint, it doesn’t resemble a normal world... so it’s strange."
"Is that so." Li Zhibai seemed thoughtful.
Despite the sparse words, Li Zhibai sensed Xu Chang’an’s difficulty. She probably felt if Xu Chang’an were to describe the world in his mind... no one would believe him; if still mortal, people might even think he’s lost his mind.
"No wonder you feel it’s an unreal world... and never mentioned it." Li Zhibai smiled, then asked what’s so far the most important question to her: "Chang’an, does that world in your mind affect your present self?"
"No." Xu Chang’an answered without thinking.
It’s not that he’s heartless.
Even though in his past life there was Chang’an, and he wished to live peacefully with Yun Qian, everything ultimately revolves around Miss Yun.
In the past life... without Miss Yun’s presence, how could it affect him?
Thus, only the world with Yun Qian exists as real.
Thus, this world of flying and earth traversing is real.
The past life’s memories... have long become inconsequential to him—this is why he can gradually reveal this odd secret to Li Zhibai.
When he himself starts disbelieving in this matter, how would others ever believe?
Yet Xu Chang’an didn’t anticipate one thing.
Li Zhibai will believe.
Because Li Zhibai suddenly felt an unfamiliar, utterly incomprehensible world might just align precisely with the "Immortal Realm."
Chang’an always carries things incomprehensible; saying they don’t connect with the odd memories in his mind is impossible...
Slowly, the possibility of Immortal Reincarnation left deep marks in Li Zhibai’s mind.
At the same time, Li Zhibai gradually exhaled gently... As long as it doesn’t have negative consequences for Chang’an, it’s fine.
She doesn’t intend to continue questioning.
Even though she truly wants to inquire details, to know distinctly from his mouth what kind of world that is, what rules it operates by, but seeing Xu Chang’an’s unwavering eyes, she helplessly asks.
