I Am the Master of Six Paths Reincarnation

“Ding. Congratulations, Host, for scaring the Evil Sword Fairy and Seed Demon Holy Sect disciple ‘Mu Man’er’ into releasing a mysterious liquid. Reward: 30 merit points.”

Fresh out of the dream realm, Qin Gou was puzzled about why the dream had drained so much of his spiritual energy. The system notification caught him off guard.

“Am I being too harsh on Man’er?” Qin Gou muttered, his expression complicated. He silently vowed to be gentler with her in the future, lest she develop the same embarrassing issues as Zhao Xinting.

At the same time, Qin Gou realized that despite spanking Mu Man’er until her bottom was swollen back in Gu Yue City, he hadn’t earned any merit points beyond completing the task. Yet this time, he gained 30 points. It must be because Mu Man’er had officially joined the Seed Demon Holy Sect, categorizing her as a “villain” in the system’s eyes.

Taking out a high-grade spirit stone, Qin Gou quickly replenished his spiritual energy. In the darkness, he glanced at the sleeping Shen Tianyin, Cao Yilin, and the others, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Approaching Shen Tianyin, Qin Gou pressed a finger to a key acupoint, ensuring he remained unconscious. He then applied Bone-Tempering Elixir to Shen Tianyin’s injured legs. With the elixir’s aid, his legs would heal completely within two hours.

Having finished, Qin Gou returned to his bed, summoned the Dreamwalker lantern, and entered another dream.

***

Shen Tianyin, Cao Yilin, and the others awoke to find themselves in an unfamiliar world.

Surrounded by a misty, chaotic expanse, the only clear area was a sunlit hundred-mile radius with spirit cranes flying and a magnificent palace at its center.

“Where is this place?” a melodious female voice asked.

A beautiful girl in white stood nearby, looking at Shen Tianyin and the others with a mix of confusion and fear.

The five men were immediately captivated by her ethereal beauty. She seemed like a celestial maiden who had accidentally descended to the mortal world, her angelic face and devilish figure a perfect combination.

Unbeknownst to them, this girl bore a striking resemblance to the headstrong Gu Feiyan.

“And who are you?” the girl asked, stepping back cautiously.

“We should be asking you that. What is this place?” Cao Yilin retorted.

Sitting on the ground, Shen Tianyin scrutinized the girl, his sharp gaze sweeping over her. “We’re fellow disciples, but you’re a stranger. Why are you here?” Her beauty stirred his heart, but the eerie environment and his own injuries kept him from acting rashly.

“I suggest we keep a safe distance and avoid unnecessary conflict,” the girl said, her lips parting slightly.

Her sweet voice made the men feel light-headed. Noticing her superior cultivation, they readily agreed.

After searching the area and finding nothing, the group reconvened.

“We have no choice but to check out that palace,” Cao Yilin said, eyeing the grand structure.

“Agreed. Staying here won’t solve anything,” the others concurred.

“You go first,” the girl said coldly.

“Why?” Shen Tianyin demanded.

The girl smiled faintly. “Because my cultivation is higher than yours. If there’s danger, I’ll be the strongest fighter.”

Cao Yilin patted Shen Tianyin’s shoulder and, with another disciple, helped him up. “Let’s go, Brother Shen.”

The six entered the palace, marveling at its opulence.

“Welcome,” a deep, cold voice greeted them.

Qin Gou sat on a black dragon-carved throne, his face obscured by gray mist. His voice, altered to sound majestic and indifferent, echoed through the hall.

“Greetings, senior!” The girl bowed respectfully, followed by the others.

“Congratulations on being chosen to enter the Reincarnation World,” Qin Gou said coldly.

“What?” The group exchanged confused glances.

“Don’t call me senior,” Qin Gou continued, mimicking the system’s emotionless tone. “I am the Master of Six Paths Reincarnation. You may also call me ‘Cthulhu.’ I will assign you tasks in endless reincarnation worlds. Complete them to earn reincarnation points, which can be exchanged for rare resources, techniques, bloodlines, and even life-bound spiritual tools.”

“Impossible!” The group was stunned.

The girl furrowed her brows, muttering, “I read about something like this in a folklore novel. The protagonist grew rapidly in strength through a reincarnation world, becoming a powerful cultivator. But failure meant death, and dying in the reincarnation world meant dying in reality.”

Qin Gou sat silently, his expression unreadable.

“I don’t believe it,” Shen Tianyin said skeptically. “How could such a thing exist? Even an Avatar Realm cultivator couldn’t achieve this.”

“Believe it or not, with your injuries and weak body, you won’t survive the first world,” Qin Gou said coldly.

“Then send me back!” Shen Tianyin demanded, his face pale with fear.

“You can leave—if you’re willing to give up your life.”

Shen Tianyin’s face turned green. “So, I’m doomed?”

“As newcomers, you are granted one chance to heal your body. Use it wisely.”

Shen Tianyin turned to the others, pleading, “Please, I beg you.”

Cao Yilin and the others agreed, though the girl huffed, “I disagree, but the majority rules. You owe me.”

A pale green light enveloped Shen Tianyin, healing his legs. He stood, ecstatic. “It’s real! My legs are healed!”

Qin Gou waved his hand, revealing a modified version of the system store to the group.

They were stunned by the array of techniques, imperial weapons, and unique physiques, their minds overwhelmed.
