In the realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, following the benevolent intervention of the Lord of the Six Paths, Meng Qi, adorned with remnants of battle, sprang up from the ground with a declaration that they would once again become a hero in a mere eighteen seconds.
Surveying the now vacated Samsara Square, Meng Qi promptly approached the Lord of the Six Reincarnations to appraise the available techniques and items. Despite already comprehending the intricacies of the Leng Jade Buddha statue clutched in his hand, including its profound illusion and the influence of the law, this marked Meng Qi's third solo reincarnation mission.
"Aren't you back early, little monk?" A melodious voice akin to a sweet oriole resonated in Meng Qi's ears. His gaze fell upon Dao Mingyan, whose figure was swiftly recovering from the sustained injuries.
Meng Qi found himself momentarily lost; even with foresight, he remained a bystander. Despite the knowledge of the events that would unfold, he still harbored a deep affection for Jiang Zhiwei and Meng Qi, yet the subsequent descent into adversity left him disheartened.
"Zhi Wei, don't forget who I am—Xiao Meng, the audacious one! Such tasks pose no challenge for me!" Meng Qi boldly asserted, devoid of any financial considerations.
"Indeed, he always brags in our group; I've grown used to it!" Zhang Yuanshan remarked, recalling one of those days when Xiao Meng's claims led him astray.
Jiang Zhiwei smiled, her eyes forming crescents, captivating Meng Qi's gaze. "The little monk exudes confidence, but alas, he's a little on the bald side!"
Meng Qi's countenance fell at the reminder that he would have to wait until he emerged from Hanhai to revert to a less ascetic appearance.
"Zhiwei, have you gathered the secrets within the mission world?" Meng Qi pointed towards the sizable package resting behind Jiang Zhiwei, already privy to her accomplishments.
"The little monk's mind is quite agile. Did you also manage that?" Jiang Zhiwei praised Meng Qi's acumen.
Meng Qi shook his head, opting to share with Jiang Zhiwei the insights into the Great Magic, the Dao, and the Three Secrets. The teammates, including Qi Zhengyan, Fu Zhenzhen, and the newcomer Zhang Yuanshan, gradually materialized in the reincarnation square.
Amidst banter and camaraderie, Meng Qi teased and laughed wryly, maintaining an optimistic and cheerful façade despite being privy to the future. Eventually, the conversation shifted towards their respective deeds, and Meng Qi shared the esoteric knowledge of magic with his comrades.
As the exchange of martial arts and secrets unfolded, Meng Qi looked expectantly at Jiang Zhiwei. "Zhiwei, about Senior Su..."
Understanding Meng Qi's unspoken request, Jiang Zhiwei gently patted her forehead and replied, "If you don't mention it, I would've forgotten. The master has agreed to exchange with you, commending the exceptional quality of the items you provided. He mentioned a variance in the cultivation method—a departure from the orthodox. Here, that's all." She handed Meng Qi a small storage bag.
The martial arts deduced by Emperor Zhetianli differed substantially from the orthodox path. Meng Qi thanked Jiang Zhiwei silently.
Later, Meng Qi exchanged all the martial arts within the storage bag with the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Witnessing a surge in his accumulated good deeds, Meng Qi reveled in the satisfaction, although the realization that he was merely a middleman cast a slight shadow.
With numerous good deeds at his disposal, Meng Qi eyed the peerless magical arts displayed on the exchange platform, his anticipation building. He seized the opportunity to acquire the complete "Eight Nine Profound Art," including the foundational, qi storage, revival, and location chapters. Additionally, he obtained the "Huntian Treasure Mirror" that Qi Zhengyan practiced.
Exchanging some of the initial segments of the Fashen Divine Art, Meng Qi continued until all the goods brought by Jiang Zhiwei were consumed. His demeanor exuded a villainous delight as he perused the remarkable martial arts listed for exchange.
Jiang Zhiwei observed Meng Qi's contentment, and several onlookers couldn't help but envy his acquisitions. The significance of the "Eight Nine Profound Art" became evident by its staggering nine hundred and fifty thousand good deeds, dwarfing even the complete version of "Tathagata Palm."
Despite the wealth of their newfound knowledge, the group refrained from probing into Meng Qi's ventures. The shared laughter and camaraderie persisted as they discussed their plans, and soon, the team departed from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space.
Of note, within Meng Qi's ongoing plot, he had yet to open his eyes at this juncture, but now, his eyes were wide open. As Meng Qi exited the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space, he stepped into the world with a calm demeanor, seemingly prepared for potential repercussions.
Initiating a conversation, Meng Qi jokingly informed everyone that the Emperor's express delivery had been intercepted. The banter that ensued, laden with humor and camaraderie, continued among the group members.
The concluding lines, however, revealed a touch of frustration in Meng Qi's tone.
