First it snowed, then the wind blew.

The snow on the winter day was not heavy.

But the Big Yellow Dog suddenly stirred up a gust of wind.

Chen Xia and Zhang DaoMing observed for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on. They just saw the Big Yellow Dog twitching repeatedly, occasionally even shivering all over.

"Do you understand?" Chen Xia frowned and asked.

Zhang DaoMing shook his head, "After cultivating for nearly ten thousand years, I've never seen such a strange scene. This is not evolution, but mutation."

"Could it be that the Vast Boundless Quasi-Emperor has gone mad?" Chen Xia muttered, but didn't dare confirm it. So he began to look up some books himself to see exactly what was the cause.

In the book "Reincarnation and Re-cultivation", some key points about a cultivator's reincarnation and re-cultivation in their second life were recorded.

1. The Way of Heaven does not recognize when a cultivator reincarnates and re-cultivates. So there will be obstacles from the Way of Heaven during reincarnation and re-cultivation, which is not conducive to the cultivator absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There will also be barriers in comprehending the Great Dao.

2. It is exceptionally difficult for cultivators to reincarnate and re-cultivate. Only cultivators at the Realm Filling the Heavens and above can perform this supernatural technique. And it is best to also have the aid of magic treasures and pills.

3. The success rate of reincarnation and re-cultivation is only 30%.

This book was acquired by Chen Xia. It was already somewhat old, but fortunately the material was good enough to preserve it. However, the content related to reincarnation and re-cultivation was really sparse, with only the above three points as the key ones.

As for the Big Yellow Dog's current state, it was also described in the book.

It said it was likely the current and previous lives were fighting for control. This was an unavoidable process. Both sides had to fight, but couldn't produce a winner and loser. The final result had to be merging together. Only then could it be considered successful.

If either side won, then the path of reincarnation and re-cultivation would be cut off, and the Way of Heaven would directly come down to settle accounts.

Had to fight, but couldn't win.

This was reincarnation and re-cultivation.

Looking at the Big Yellow Dog's current convulsing state, Chen Xia became even more worried, thinking of ways to resolve this.

It was best to have magic treasures and pills for reincarnation and re-cultivation.

He couldn't take out any magic treasures, but he could concoct pills. Although he didn't know what to make, he could always go ask.

For example, the Starry Sky Pill Sect in the middle layer was a huge sect and faction. They must know about pills related to reincarnation and rebirth right?

Thinking about it, he immediately acted. He told Zhang DaoMing to keep an eye on the Big Yellow Dog, left behind an avatar for surveillance and early warning, then directly rose up, piercing through the heavens, heading to the middle layer.

Between the lower layer and middle layer, there were three heavens in between. It was a bit like the difference between the mortal realm and Immortal Realm, just not as big of a gap.

The Starry Sky Pill Sect's power was very large in the middle layer of the world. After all, they were a sect aiming to advance to the upper layer. Chen Xia's location in the lower layer was under the jurisdiction of the Starry Sky Pill Sect.

So after he arrived in the middle layer, he didn't need to travel far before arriving at the main gate of the Starry Sky Pill Sect.

The DaCheng Realm guards at the gate did not make things difficult for Chen Xia.

The reason was simple.

They all recognized Chen Xia.

This was because Zhen Hu had warned all the cultivators of the Starry Sky Pill Sect, and even provided a portrait of Chen Xia, sternly saying,

"As long as you encounter the person in the portrait, you better give me your best attitude, even kneeling down and calling him daddy would not be excessive!"

"If I find out anyone's attitude is not proper, even if this senior does not investigate, I will skin them myself!"

When Zhen Hu said this, his expression was exceptionally solemn, his tone low.

So all the cultivators of the Starry Sky Pill Sect engraved this firmly in their minds.

As soon as Chen Xia arrived at the gate, the group of DaCheng Realm cultivators saw him. They were stunned at first, then without any hesitation, they all kneeled down on the spot, heads heavily kowtowing to the ground, respectfully shouting in unison,

"Daddy!"

Faced with suddenly gaining so many grown "sons", Chen Xia didn't know what to say either. So he rewarded each with a low-grade spiritual pill.

The few DaCheng Realm cultivators were delighted, continuously shouting "Daddy".

They were sincerely shouting now.

When Chen Xia first stepped into the Starry Sky Pill Sect, Bai Jie immediately heard the news and came up to welcome him, smiling so wide it nearly reached his ears. He enthusiastically said,

"Daddy, long time no see. Little Bai has missed you so much. These days I couldn't eat or sleep properly, yet didn't dare privately come down to disturb your closed door cultivation. It really made the days feel like years for Little Bai!"

Chen Xia frowned, feeling somewhat awkward. He fished around his pocket, casually took out a top-grade spiritual pill, flicked it forward, waved his hand and said, "Act normal."

"Daddy!" This time Bai Jie only shouted excitedly once.

"Where is Zhen Hu? I have something to ask him," Chen Xia explained his purpose.

Bai Jie hurriedly said, "The Sect Leader is in secluded cultivation. He probably wants to break through to the 5th Heaven of the Realm Filling the Heavens. He hasn't come out for some years, but it should be soon. I'll go ask the Sect Leader. Daddy, just wait here. It'll be good enough."

"Mm, go notify him. If it really doesn't work, tell him to pause for a bit. My matter is quite urgent," Chen Xia nodded.

Bai Jie was stunned. He really hadn't heard of being able to pause breaking through a cultivation realm before. But he didn't dare refute right now. He hurriedly nodded, "I will definitely pass on your words."

As he turned to leave, he suddenly paused, pointing at the layout outside the Starry Sky Pill Sect's gate, smiling and said,

"These days is the Starry Sky Pill Sect's Little Pill Festival. If Daddy is interested, feel free to walk around and take a look. It's very lively, with some rare pills on display."

"Mm," Chen Xia casually replied. At present he had no interest in pills.

Bai Jie didn't say anything more either. His figure flashed as he left, going to pass on the message to Zhen Hu.

Chen Xia coming to the Starry Sky Pill Sect was a big deal, like the big daddy paying a visit. They had to entertain him well, absolutely could not be negligent.

These were Zhen Hu's words to the entire Starry Sky Pill Sect.

Bai Jie sped up, hurrying towards Zhen Hu's secluded cultivation location.

Chen Xia remained standing in place, lightly leaning against a pillar, watching the coming and going silhouettes in the distance. He felt a little bored.

Among these silhouettes were some who were not the Starry Sky Pill Sect's cultivators. They should be the ones who came to participate in the Little Pill Festival that Bai Jie mentioned.

Chen Xia indeed had no interest in this Little Pill Festival. With a raise of his hand, he released a low level earth technique, conjuring up a smooth stone chair to sit on.

He propped up his chin, absentmindedly thinking about some matters, like aftercare for the sow after giving birth.

Suddenly, sounds of chatting and laughter came from not far away.

He slightly turned his head to look.

A group of cultivators, over a dozen people, half men and half women, were laughing and walking over here. Their words also gradually became clear.

"Why did Bai Jie leave in such a rush without even a greeting? We were just discussing how to refine a mid-grade spiritual pill to increase the success rate. Then in the blink of an eye, he's gone."

A brawny cultivator with a triangular head next to him laughed and said, "Don't worry Qin Shaoyou, I calculated just now that Bai Jie came to this place. We can properly ask him later. Leaving without a word like this really does not follow proper etiquette."

Another cultivator with an ice and fire crown on his head chimed in, "That's right, even if Bai Jie is the Guardian of the Starry Sky Pill Sect, he should still apologize to Qin Shaoyou. Only then would it be following etiquette."

A couple other cultivators echoed agreement.

These were probably cultivators of the same faction.

There were also a few cultivators who didn't speak, silently following along.

A few people laughed and chatted as they walked into the pavilion.

They immediately saw Chen Xia.
