Chapter 3: The Six Realms of Rebirth

"Do you want to return to the Immortal Realm with me?" Guang Yuanzi smiled

Lin San picked up the remote control and turned on the television: "This is where the missing person notice is published." The television was playing an intense action movie, with gunfire and explosions everywhere

"A person's fate is predetermined from the moment of birth; a mortal cannot become an immortal," said Guangyuanzai.

Lin San smiled and said, "There are many interesting things; another day, I will take you to see for yourself"

What happened, Master? Lin San asked nervously

"You are truly quite stubborn..." Guangyuanzai sighed, fell silent for a moment, and said: "You are right about one thing; the fact that we can meet despite being in two different realms is indeed a kind of fate." After saying this, Guangyuanzai reached into his Daoist robe and suddenly produced a small, yellowed booklet.

To reach the celestial realm, one must pass through a spatial tunnel. Given your constitution, it is likely that as soon as you enter the spatial tunnel, you would be blown to dust. Guangyuanzi curled his lip; in truth, he was lying. Indeed, Lin San, this ordinary mortal, would be blown to dust by the gale within the tunnel upon entry. However, if Guangyuanzi were willing to pay some attention to Lin San, there was still a possibility for Lin San to reach the celestial realm. The only issue was that Lin San and Guangyuanzi were not related, and Guangyuanzi was unwilling to expend effort and energy.

Guangyuan said: "It is not that I do not want to take you to the fairy realm, but rather that you simply cannot go there."

Missing person notice? This is the first time Guangyuanzi has heard the term 'missing person notice'

Guangyuanzi smiled and said: "Everything in the world is possible to happen and exist. For instance, you have always firmly believed that there are no deities in this world, yet here I am, standing right before you, alive and well"

The phone in the living room suddenly rang

Lin San took a deep breath, closed the booklet, and looked at Guang Yuanzi with a serious expression: "Rest assured, I will study diligently and master the immortal techniques as soon as possible"

"You teach me the way of the immortals," Lin San said, nervously looking at Guangyuanzi. Lin San had read many mythological books, which described those immortals as being capable of anything. Most importantly, immortals could live as long as heaven and earth, achieving immortality. Lin San also wished to live a longer life.

"Yes, of course, there is. https://www.hetushu.com. After you mortals die, your souls will descend into hell." Guang Yuanzi nodded.

Guangyuan pouted and said: "Do you think I want to be here? I was forced to come to your world."

Lin San glanced at the paper and saw a very lifelike portrait of a man, whose appearance was quite handsome: "Is this the visage of a celestial being?"

Lin San walked over, picked up the microphone, listened for a moment, and then frowned.

I do not know either. If I were to fully restore my celestial powers, I could employ the Divine Search Technique to locate the whereabouts of that celestial being. However, right now... my magical abilities are completely depleted, and I truly do not know how to search for it. Guangyuanzi sighed, feeling frustrated; if it had not been for his own carelessness at that time, how could he have allowed the celestial being to escape? Now, having fallen to the mortal realm and nearly lost all his powers, it is truly exasperating.

Guangyuanzi handed the booklet to Lin San, saying, "This contains some basic immortal techniques. Take a look, and whether you can master them depends on your talent."

It is certainly better to be an immortal than a mortal! Lin San was determined to learn the ways of immortality.

Lin San Wai Wai said: "How do you plan to find it?"

No! I do not believe in fate! I have always firmly believed in one saying: My destiny is determined by me, not by heaven. Master Guangyuan, I beg you, just give me a chance! Since we can meet, it proves that it is a kind of fate. Master Guangyuan, I truly want to learn the ways of immortality!

Well, you are currently devoid of magical powers, and since this is your first time on Earth, you are unfamiliar with the surroundings and lack a guide, making it quite difficult for you to find anyone here. Lin San's point is straightforward: even if you were a deity, it would still be challenging to locate someone on Earth, especially given your unfamiliarity with the situation here, which certainly necessitates having someone to act as your guide

Of course, if I do not escort that celestial being back to the celestial realm, I will be punished by the Heavenly Emperor, and my life may very well be at stake said Guangyuanzi

"Do you have paper and pen here?" said Guangyuanzi

Lin San moved the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded. Guang Yuanzi was right; indeed, there are many things and illustrations in the world that humanity has not discovered. Lin San took a breath and asked, "I am very curious. Humanity has existed on Earth for thousands of years, yet no immortals have ever come to Earth. Why do you appear today?"

Ah? So, does that mean two deities have simultaneously descended upon our Earth?

Lin San raised his thumb and said with admiration, "A celestial being is indeed a celestial being; you even know what I am thinking. That's right, I do have a small request." As Lin San was pondering how to broach the subject of his request, he was surprised when Guang Yuanzi brought it up directly, which saved Lin San quite a bit of effort.

Why?" Lin San furrowed his brow slightly

You?" Guangyuanzi glanced at Lin San and said, "With your abilities, can you really find the Celestial Being?" It is not that Guangyuanzi looks down on Lin San; rather, it is that Lin San's strength is simply too weak. In Guangyuanzi's eyes, Lin San is no different from an ant, and he does not believe that Lin San can help him find the Celestial Being.

In fact, being an immortal is not necessarily a good thing. We immortals face a heavenly tribulation every so often. If we survive the tribulation, we can live in peace; if we do not, we will be reduced to ashes. Therefore, we immortals constantly strive to enhance our strength, simply to prolong our existence a little longer. " Guangyuanzi said, shaking his head slightly

I am not afraid of hardship; I am very perseverant. Great Immortal, I beg you, please teach me the ways of immortality. I also want to be like you and become an immortal!

"Where is that deity?" Lin San inquired

"Our Earth is neither too big nor too small; if one wishes to find someone, it is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack." Lin San slightly furrowed his brow

No matter how difficult it is, no matter how much time it takes, I must find that celestial being. The celestial being escaped from the hands of Guangyuanzai. If Guangyuanzai cannot bring the celestial being back to the celestial realm, the Heavenly Emperor will surely punish Guangyuanzai, and perhaps even take Guangyuanzai's life. The Heavenly Emperor is the overlord of the celestial realm, possessing profound magical powers and a ruthless heart. Anyone who offends the Heavenly Emperor will either die or suffer greatly.

Then take me to the celestial realm. Lin San, seeing that Guang Yuanzi was slow to agree to teach him the celestial arts, changed his strategy and directly requested to go to the celestial realm. Once in the celestial realm, Lin San would be able to come into contact with many immortals. Lin San did not believe that, with his own intelligence and talent, he would not be able to find an immortal to teach him the celestial arts.

What request?" Guangyuanzi asked in a deep voice

Why? Lin San was somewhat confused

Guangyuan Zibai cast a glance at Lin San and said: "Since you have been reincarnated as a mortal, you must accept your fate and not entertain other misguided paths. In fact, being a mortal is not so bad; there are no heavenly tribulations, and you can live freely. How wonderful is that"

Lin San hurriedly took the booklet, carefully flipping through it. He was momentarily bewildered. The booklet was quite thin, consisting of only ten short pages. Each page depicted a Daoist priest, ethereal and unadorned, striking different poses. Numerous small red dots were marked on the priest's body, and what intrigued Lin San the most was that these red dots were slowly moving, constantly changing their positions. After observing for a while, Lin San began to feel a bit dizzy.

Of course, you must have heard of the Six Realms of Rebirth, right?" Guo Yuanzi retorted.

Alright, let us get back to the main topic. Are you really going to help me find that celestial being?" Guangyuanzai did not want to continue discussing the matter of immortality with Lin San and directly shifted the topic.

Guangyuan glanced at Lin San and said, "This spell is the most basic in the immortal realm, and it is also quite simple. If you cannot even master such a simple spell, it proves that you are truly fated to be unrelated to spells."

Guan Yuanzai stared blankly at the television screen showing a live demonstration: "You humans really... have some remarkable abilities, to be able to create such... interesting things." He gazed at the screen in a daze, his face displaying an expression of disbelief. In such a small square box, real people could perform; even Guan Yuanzai, an ancient immortal with extensive experience, was astonished.

"So, are you still going to continue searching for that deity?" Lin San certainly had a lot of questions

However, the lifespan of mortals is very short Lin San pouted

Guangyuan frowned slightly and remained silent

Guangyuanzai shook his head: "I do not know where he is, but I am certain that the celestial being has also arrived in your world." At that time, Guangyuanzai had almost entered the spatial passage right before the celestial being; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the celestial being should have also landed on Earth at www.hetushu.com.com, though the exact location remains unknown

Guangyuanzi picked up the pen and swiftly made a few strokes on the paper, then threw down the pen: "It is done."

Yes. Lin San put away the booklet, casually opened the drawer of the coffee table, and took out a piece of paper and a pen.

Sigh... Guanyuanzi sighed and said: "This is a long story. I was originally the deity in charge of punishments, responsible for penalizing those deities who violated heavenly laws. Not long ago, a celestial being, intoxicated, insulted the Heavenly Emperor. In a fit of anger, the Heavenly Emperor sentenced this celestial being to execution. When I was escorting the celestial being to the execution platform, I momentarily let my guard down, allowing the celestial being to escape. I pursued relentlessly and engaged in three skirmishes along the way, but I was unable to capture the celestial being. Eventually, in a moment of desperation, the celestial being dashed into the Hall of Heavenly Secrets..."

I have said everything that needs to be said, do you have any questions?" said Guangyuanzi

Guangyuan Ziming was taken aback; he never expected Lin San to make such a request, and for a moment, he found it difficult to respond.

Guangyuanzi nodded. When Guangyuanzi had free time in the celestial realm, he enjoyed drawing landscapes with a brush. Occasionally, he would also paint portraits of immortals. Now, depicting the appearance of the heavenly deity was naturally a task he could accomplish with ease

"Alright, I will go to the television station to publish a missing person notice right away," said Lin San

Lin Sanshuang's hands continuously caressed the booklet, and her face was filled with a joyful smile

"Indeed, Guanyuan Zixian, I implore you, please take me back to the celestial realm." Lin San pleaded, his face revealing an expression of hope.

Ah! Lin Sanyi exclaimed: "Does that mean I can never go to the celestial realm in my entire life?"

Guangyuanzi remained silent.

Lin San nodded slightly: "I, Lin San, have always kept my word. If I promise to help you find the celestial being, I will certainly do so. However, I do not know what the celestial being looks like."

I know my abilities are limited, but having one more person means one more strength

I have heard of it, but those are just legends. The term "Six Realms of Reincarnation" is something Lin San came across in a novel. In the past, he discussed the concept of the Six Realms of Reincarnation with classmates and friends, but at that time, it was merely a topic for entertainment, and he did not truly believe that the so-called Six Realms of Reincarnation actually existed in the world

Is it possible for a person to die and then be reincarnated? Lin San's eyes lit up. In his childhood, Lin San read many novels about myths and ghosts, and he believed the content of those novels to be true. However, as he grew older and received higher education, he gradually realized that what was written in those novels was entirely fictional and could not be taken seriously. Yet, deep down, Lin San has always had a question: how did humanity originate? Yes, science has confirmed that humans evolved from primates, but how did those primates come into being? The transformation from a lifeless object to a being with independent thought is truly remarkable.

What is the Tianji Pavilion? Lin San interjected.

"Oh?" Lin San looked at the booklet in surprise, feeling quite astonished. He had carefully checked the robe yesterday, and there were no pockets at all, making it impossible to hide any booklet. Yet today, Guang Yuanzi simply brushed his hand over the robe and produced a booklet. It was truly remarkable.

Lin Sanyan turned his eyes and said, "I will help you find it." Lin San wanted to please Guangyuanzizi in order to gain some benefits. In this day and age, isn't it true that one is at a disadvantage when relying on others and is easily swayed by their words?

Guangyuanzai curled his lip in disdain, his expression revealing a hint of contempt; he truly did not think highly of Lin San's qualifications.

Guangyuanzi slightly furrowed his brow and said, "With your kindness in helping me, what exactly do you intend to gain?" Guangyuanzi was very astute and immediately saw through Lin San's thoughts.

The Tianji Pavilion serves as a spatial passage to other realms. The Heavenly Emperor has set up a magical formation to seal the Tianji Pavilion, prohibiting any celestial beings from entering other realms. However, that celestial being somehow managed to break the Heavenly Emperor's formation, directly opening the passage and slipping inside. I chased after him to the Tianji Pavilion, and without a second thought, I jumped into the passage as well. Subsequently, I found myself at your home. Guangyuanzai said: "The spatial pressure within the passage is immense. If it weren't for my profound magical power, I would have turned to dust within the passage long ago. Even so, I have expended nine and a half tenths of my magical power, and now my body is extremely weak, making it very difficult for me to recover in a short time."

"Learning the ways of immortality is quite arduous, especially considering the thin spiritual energy on your Earth, and the relatively short lifespan of humans, which leaves little time and energy for studying these methods of immortality," Guo Yuanzai pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
