Chapter 680 - Sea Demon Identified (1/2)
”Reincarnation? Do you believe the Young Master is the reincarnation of a powerful immortal in the past? Do you even believe in the concept of reincarnation at all?” Feng Yuxiang looked at Xiao Hua with raised eyebrows.
Xiao Hua didn't appear to be the type to believe in these kinds of things.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Hua spoke, ”Although Xiao Hua doesn't necessarily believe in reincarnation, her family believes in it.”
”Your family? I have been wondering for a while now, but what kind of family do you have?”
”...”
As Feng Yuxiang expected, Xiao Hua refused to say anything about her family.
”Whatever. Not that I really care. Anyways, if the Young Master is really the reincarnation of a powerful expert, I believe it. After all, I am a phoenix— I symbolize reincarnation itself.”
Chu Liuxiang listened to their conversation with raised eyebrows.
Although she doesn't believe in reincarnation, she found the topic to be quite interesting.
This was also the case for Min Li.
”Let's say Yuan is the reincarnation of someone else… Is there a way to test that?” Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.
”There are many mythical treasures in the world of cultivation, right? Surely, there must be a treasure that can tell whether someone is reincarnated or not.”
Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment before speaking, ”Actually, there's one. However, it's only a legend.”
”It's called the Mirror of Samsara. Legend has it that anyone that stands in front of this mirror will have their past lives revealed by the mirror.”
”It's only a legend? From my experience, all legends turn out to be just that— legends…” Chu Liuxiang sighed.
”Actually, the Mirror of Samsara really exists. The legend is that it can tell one's past lives.” Feng Yuxiang said.
”If the treasure exists, why does this legend still exist?”
”Probably because nobody can confirm it. The Mirror of Samsara is being kept by a powerful collector who doesn't allow anyone near his treasures, so even though the treasure exists, it's not accessible, hence the legend.”
”The collector is probably doing it on purpose to keep the treasure rarer than its actual value, so when it's time to sell the treasure, it'll earn much more money. It's a pretty common tactic for collectors.” Chu Liuxiang shrugged.
”You seem to know a lot about this topic. Are you also a collector?” Feng Yuxiang asked.
”No, but my family is.”
After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang asked, ”Let's hypothetically say that Yuan is reincarnated. What will you all do?”
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, ”Nothing. Once someone dies, their identity and everything else dies with them, so even if the Young Master is reincarnated, it won't affect him or change who he currently is.”
Xiao Hua nodded, ”Brother Yuan is Brother Yuan no matter who he was in his previous life.”
”Is that so…”
They returned to watching the pond shortly after.
The following day, Yuan opened his eyes when there was another announcement in the ship.
