"GAG!"
"GAG! GAG!"
After Xiao Mo's consciousness withdrew from the Hundred Generations Book, he was overcome with nausea, dry heaves, and dizziness.
He wanted to throw up, but nothing would come out.
Not wanting Wei Xun, who was waiting outside, to notice anything amiss, Xiao Mo covered his mouth, trying his best not to make a sound.
He knew these were the side effects the Hundred Generations Book had mentioned before.
A full incense stick's time passed before Xiao Mo finally started to feel better.
[First life experience summary complete.]
The voice of the Hundred Generations Book echoed in Xiao Mo's mind.
[The host lived for a total of fifteen years and one month in this life experience.]
[The host brought Jiang Qingyi back to Lingqian Peak, taught her how to cultivate, unblocked her Spirit Veins at the cost of his own Root Bone and lifespan, and at the final moment, the host removed his Innate Sword Bone and returned it to Jiang Qingyi.]
[As of the moment of the host's death, Jiang Qingyi's highest Realm was the Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Calculating system rewards:
1. Chaos Human Emperor Bone: This bone originated in the Chaos of Ancient Times. During Ancient Times, Human Emperors could also cultivate. Later, due to a change in the Laws of Heaven and Earth, Human Emperors could no longer cultivate, lest they suffer from the heavy karmic consequences. By obtaining this bone, the host can still cultivate even as an Emperor and will not be affected by the karmic consequences of being an Emperor.
2. Grass Character Sword Intent: The Grass Character Sword Formulas is a Sword Technique that 'Xiao Mo' obtained from a ruin. This Sword Technique is extremely focused on slaughter and can lead to the Great Dao. The "Grass Character Sword Intent" contains the complete Grass Character Sword Formulas Cultivation Technique, as well as Xiao Mo's own comprehension of it.
3. Breath-Concealing Technique: By cultivating this technique, no one can detect the host's Realm unless they are a Cultivator of the Upper Three Realms.]
[Reward calculation complete. The Hundred Generations Book will now prepare for one incense stick's time. After that, the host may experience other lives.]
As the Hundred Generations Book's voice faded, Xiao Mo felt one of his vertebrae become searingly hot, as if it were on fire.
"Hiss!"
Xiao Mo sucked in a sharp breath of cold air from the pain. He grabbed a pillow, hugged it tightly, and bit down hard.
Hot sweat beaded on his forehead.
Ten minutes later, the burning pain finally began to fade.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Mo gasped for breath, his sweat soaking the sheets and pillow.
However, Xiao Mo felt as if he had become much lighter.
It was a profound and mysterious feeling.
Before, Xiao Mo had felt as though his body was bound by all sorts of invisible shackles.
But now, all of those shackles had been released.
Xiao Mo guessed that those shackles were the karmic consequences.
'Now that I have the Human Emperor Bone, that karma has no effect on me.'
Immediately after, the complete contents of the Grass Character Sword Formulas and the Breath-Concealing Technique appeared in Xiao Mo's mind.
Back when he was experiencing that life, Xiao Mo had felt that the Grass Character Sword Formulas was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, the moment he left the Hundred Generations Book, he would completely forget all the Cultivation Techniques and insights into the Dao he had gained inside.
There was no way for Xiao Mo to replicate anything he learned in the Hundred Generations Book in the real world.
'But now, I have the Grass Character Sword Intent.'
'The Sword Intent contains the Grass Character Sword Formulas and the comprehension of it that 'Xiao Mo' had gained.'
'It's like having a master guide my cultivation, which will help me avoid a great many pitfalls.'
'The only difference is… this "master" is myself…'
All in all, Xiao Mo was very satisfied with this round of rewards.
Xiao Mo even found himself thinking, 'If Qingyi had reached the Jade Realm, how much greater would my reward have been?'
But it was just a passing thought.
'In that first life, I really feel like I did my best.'
[Preparation for the Hundred Generations Book's second life is complete. Does the host wish to enter and begin the experience?]
"Yes!"
Xiao Mo didn't hesitate.
He was also very curious about what the next "life experience" would be like.
[Please create a name for the host.]
"Xiao Mo."
Xiao Mo decisively used his real name.
'What can I say? An emperor should use his real name.'
[The host is about to enter the Hundred Generations Book to experience a different life. Please be prepared.]
Another wave of familiar disorientation washed over him.
When Xiao Mo came to his senses, he found himself standing inside a dilapidated wooden hut.
He looked down at his hands.
"Huh? I've turned into a child?"
[Character Background: Your name is Xiao Mo. You are an ordinary eleven-year-old villager from Shiqiao Village.
Your parents passed away when you were seven, leaving you an orphan.
However, the people of Shiqiao Village are simple and kind. In addition, your parents were always ready to help others and had a good relationship with their fellow villagers.
Because of this, the villagers take turns bringing you food.
You are growing up on the charity of a hundred families.
After turning ten, you started gathering medicinal herbs in the mountains to exchange for money, or herding cattle for the villagers to repay them for their food.
Although your life is one of poverty, you are not in danger of starving to death.]
[Mission Assignment:
Mission One: You are an ordinary person with no Spirit Root, unable to cultivate in this life. However, you have a great talent for studying. Please pass the imperial examinations, become a court official, and the higher your rank and the greater your fame, the richer the reward will be.
Mission Two: Today, while gathering herbs in the mountains, head to the northern side. By the pool where you often water the cattle, there is an injured White Snake. This snake possesses spiritual intelligence and once had a great fortuitous encounter—it obtained a drop of True Dragon Essence Blood.
She has the potential to transform into a dragon.
This transformation is divided into five stages: "Serpent, Python, Constrictor, Flood Dragon, Dragon."
Please help her transform into a Dragon. With each stage she evolves, the host's reward will be greater.]
[Mission Duration: Two Lifetimes.
A thousand years to become a Flood Dragon, ten thousand years to become a Dragon.
Normally, the transformation from a snake to a dragon takes ten thousand years.
Although this snake is exceptionally talented and has obtained True Dragon Essence Blood, it will still require at least several thousand years.
Therefore, the host's life experience this time will be divided into two lifetimes. In both, you will be an ordinary person, unable to cultivate.
This is now the first lifetime.
The host will be reborn into the second lifetime three thousand years after death to continue helping her transform into a dragon.
Rewards will be calculated at the end of each lifetime.]
As the text from the Hundred Generations Book faded, Xiao Mo carefully processed what it said.
'It's not too difficult to understand.'
'It's just that the dragon transformation takes too long. I'll be an ordinary person in both lifetimes, unable to cultivate, so my lifespan is too short.'
'That's why this Hundred Generations Book experience is divided into two lives.'
'After the first life ends, this White Snake will have to cultivate on her own for three thousand years.'
'Three thousand years later, I'll be reborn to continue helping her transform into a dragon.'
"But here's the problem. Even with two lifetimes, I'm just an ordinary person. What can I possibly do to help this White Snake?"
Xiao Mo sighed.
"Oh well. I'll just go rescue the White Snake first and figure the rest out later."
Shouldering a bamboo basket and carrying a hoe and sickle, Xiao Mo walked out of the yard and headed toward the mountains.
