《Reincarnation (Reverend Insanity Fan-Fic)》Ch 19 - Exploring the inheritance together
Advertisement
Fang Yuan was thinking about the whole situation and every event that followed his rebirth.
It was not that he was not suspicious of Mo Bei but that he was too suspicious.
He analysed Mo Bei and his every action. This person was too calm and even advanced to middle stage earlier than A grade Fang Zheng. Fang Yuan was sure that in his previous life, Fang Zheng was the first to advance to middle stage and claim the reward.
Also, the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance was found out by some D-grade gu master in his previous life. That person also had gotten a liquor worm and hence his life improved.
'It seems the reason behind his advancement to middle stage first is the liquor worm. But why wasn't this fact disclosed in the past life. It's very difficult to hide the fact that he has a liquor worm.'
'However, this situation can also be explained. In my past life, Mo Bei found that D grade Rank 1 Gu master drinking near the bamboo forest and knowing his situation, he chose him instead of me to explore the inheritance. Later on when he became Rank 2 gu master, he passed on the liquor worm to the D grade gu master and made him reveal the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance after they had fully excavated the benefits from the inheritance. It's an ingenious plan.' , Fang Yuan felt enlightened at Mo Bei's plan and started seeing him in a different light. He never expected to see someone of such calibre back at Gu Yue clan.
'This world is full of talented and young heroes while I am only an ordinary person who will have to take all such calculated risks so that I can grab the opportunities. I am just too weak right now. I don't have many choices.' Fang Yuan sighed in his mind.

Fang Yuan and Mo Bei both were not worried about their safety since they had already taken a vow through Poison Vow Gu. Fang Yuan knew that in the lower ranks, Poison Vow was practically invincible. Even he himself was not able to get rid of it at this point. This practically reduced all his suspicions that Mo Bei was bringing him to a trap. It should be the actual inheritance.
Mo Bei and Fang Yuan both entered the cave. Fang Yuan had passed by the area outside many times before but had practically missed this place due to it being covered by the waterfall.
Both reached the place where Flower Wine Monk's skeleton was placed.
"How did you find this place? How did you know this was Flower Wine Monk's body and not someone else?" Fang Yuan questioned.
Mo Bei had long expected such questions and answered what he had long thought of in his mind.
"First, how I found this place is nothing more than a coincidence when I was searching for something in the woods. For the Second question, when I came here, a video started playing on a wall which was originally here. It showed the side of story of Flower Wine Monk. He gave me his inheritance in exchange of me destroying Gu yue clan as a revenge." Mo Bei truthfully replied to the second question.
Fang Yuan was shocked for a minute before suddenly making a sense of Mo Bei's actions. He always doubted as to why would Mo Bei hide this inheritance from his grandfather, Gu Yue Mo Chen and the Mo Family and instead take outside help.
'He does not seem to have any affection towards the clan. It's like he has already seen though the superficial level of the clan. He also seems to have chosen me since I rebelled against the clan rules and does seem to hold grudges.', Fang Yuan was honestly surprised and had the thought of making Mo Bei his pawn. He could make the few years to be spent here in Gu Yur clan much better with Mo Bei backing him.

Both Fang Yuan and Mo Bei then went towards the rock door. Mo Bei had already retrieved the Jade Skin Gu earlier. He was thinking of revealing it to his Grandpa through the same excuse as that of Liquor worm... that he received it through the Gambling rocks. Afterall he had bought 3 rocks fossils home and it was not impossible for him to receive 2 Gu worms through the rocks fossils. It all depended on luck. However, he did not want his grandpa to be suspicious of him.
As Mo Bei opened the rock door with his strength, the scene that was revealed to Mo Bei and Fang Yuan caused their field of vision to expand all of a sudden.
It was no longer a narrow tunnel or a secret room, but a large spacious plot of underground stone forest.
They estimated at initial approximation, the stone forest's size was over five square Kms long!
"We should be inside Qing Mao mountain now, this underground space should be naturally formed." Fang Yuan looked up at the stone walls and spoke.
The stone walls in this space were over sixteen meters tall, and the ceiling was also made of stone.
From the top, there were large dark red pillars erected. Each emitted a faint red glow, and so did the walls, just like the tunnel and secret room. The light although dim, allowed them to see some things at least.
Numerous pillars drooped down, forming an inverted stone forest within the mountain. Nature had its way with things.
Mo Bei suddenly spoke "Fang Yuan, I would like to mention some things which I have not told you before we move forward. I have received a Jade Skin Gu from the inheritance before exploring the part here. I also know that in this place are a lot of Stone monkeys and their eyes would become Jade rocks once they die which is the food for Jade skin gu. I want you to co-operate with me in retrieving those rocks. As per our agreement, 50% will go to you while I take the rest. I will even purchase all the Jade rocks from you at 10% above market rates as my sincerity. "
'Jade skin Gu, huh?' Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
"I will take on the attacks from the stone monkey using the Jade skin gu and my better physique. You focus on killing them through Martial arts or moonblades.", Mo Bei planned out their strategy. When Fang Yuan was venturing here alone, he had to both focus on attacking and defending. However, if they both combined their strength and defense, they could bring results much faster.
With this, they went forward to start attracting some of the stone monkeys to see their capabilities.

After an accident that nearly claimed his life, Arnel has become Humanity's first Mind-Machine Interface, the fusion of Artificial Intelligence and human consciousness. In the competitive, virtual fantasy world of Singularity, this gives him tremendous and unfair advantages. However, there is a small problem; The AI he shares his mind with is not a harmless helper program, but a vast, sentient intelligence created for war, and capable of not only predicting the future, but influencing it to a degree of certainty. Coincidentally, possession of such an intelligence is equivalent to possessing nuclear armaments for which the punishment is death.

I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.

Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
