Transmigration: Children of The Plane

The Secret Behind His Transmigration

Mirage had no problem with Xue Bai's request, and after making his figure topple into another pile of sand, he flew back into Xue Bai's body.

It wasn't much of a difficult request at all. Mirage's true body was already bound to Xue Bai's soul, so he managed to see what Xue Bai wanted after returning his consciousness to Xue Bai's soul.

But once he did, his eyebrows rose in shock.

Unaware of why, Xue Bai felt like he could feel Mirage's emotions. So once the spirit felt stunned, the emotion traveled to Xue Bai's own soul.

"Mirage, what's happening in there? Could it be that I don't have the physique?" Xue Bai asked.

In Xue Bai's opinion, with the amount of shock Mirage was feeling, something extremely unexpected must be wrong with his soul. And other than him not having the physique at all, Xue Bai couldn't guess another option.

"No, it's not that, Xue Bai. You have the physique. It's just that something else surprised me. Xue Bai, you're on your 999th reincarnation. This is your second to last life." Mirage spoke stunning Xue Bai.

"But how is that possible?! My soul is only a few realms stronger than my current cultivation base. At most, I could only be on the first few dozen." Xue Bai didn't believe what Mirage said for a second.

Mirage said that his soul physique was a snowball type of physique. The more he developed it, the stronger it got.

There was no way that Xue Bai's soul would be this weak if Xue Bai was on his second-to-last life before the physique's true awakening.

It didn't make sense. From Xue Bai's assumptions, the Sovereign realm was the realm beyond the God Great Realm. How could a pseudo-Sovereign soul be so weak?

Mirage wasn't angry at Xue Bai's shock and complete disregard for his opinion because he hadn't said the true, shocking detail.

"That's why I was shocked, Xue Bai. It's the state of your soul that surprised me. Xue Bai, right now,  your soul is being sealed. There are 999 chains binding it. However, one of them is cracked." Mirage continued.

"?!" Xue Bai was stunned.

Xue Bai's voice quivered as he thought about a certain possibility. So with a voice full of trepidation and anxiety, he asked Mirage for another favor.

"Mirage, can you look at the chain that is broken? What type of life did I live in it?" Xue Bai felt another curtain of his mysterious past rising, and he had a good assumption of what was behind it.

This was extremely simple for the Sovereign-ranked treasure, Mirage, and after casting a spell similar to the one earlier, Xue Bai's reality warped.

-

"Darling, how was life back in the Southern Wasteland? I heard that such a place was full of dangers and had almost no Spiritual Qi. So how did such a talent like you manage to escape it?" Han Fei'er asked curiously.

Currently, the two were in a tea house waiting for a secret realm to open up nearby. And since the two had nothing to do, Han Fei'er wanted to know more about her beloved's past.

"It was just luck." Xue Bai laughed humbly.

This was, of course, a lie. His teenage and childhood years living in the Southern Wasteland were the worst days of his life. However, he didn't want to sour the pleasant mood with his somber past.

Xue Bai was enjoying his time with Han Fei'er.

"It's fine, Darling. Your past is a part of my past now." Han Fei'er said as he patted Xue Bai on the shoulder.

She could sense Xue Bai's uneasiness and soothed his worries.

-

Xue Bai saw enough and ordered Mirage to end the spell.

'So that dream I saw was indeed a past life of mine. And most likely, these chains are sealing my soul from both its true potential and the memories of my other lives.'

Everything made sense to Xue Bai.

Why he had so much instinctual skill with the sword, why his comprehension was so high, why his soul was always so much stronger than him, and why he was transmigrated—it was all clear now.

Xue Bai was being used.

"Hey Xue Bai, what do you plan to do? While I don't know everything because of your silence, I can guess a lot of it." Mirage asked as he transformed into Xue Bai's form once more.

"Nothing for now. While I know what is happening, I still don't know the perpetrators. In fact, I don't even have a guess." Xue Bai replied.

Xue Bai wanted to guess that it was the people affiliated with Sage Yang, but he couldn't stand behind that.

If Sage Yang wanted to do something to him, he could've done it then. But he didn't. Other than sealing his physique, Sage Yang did nothing to him.

Xue Bai could assume that maybe Sage Yang thought that Xue Bai hadn't ripened yet, and he still wanted Xue Bai to grow, but something inside of him said no to that.

Like when he used a sword, it was instinctual.

And to this day, Xue Bai's instincts haven't let him down. So he would continue trusting him.

Mirage didn't ask anything further relating to that topic and wanted to change the topic. But the second he opened his mouth, a knock came on the door.

"Prince Consort Xue! Elder Feng wants every student to gather! The secret realm is about to open." Ling Er shouted from the hallway.

Xue Bai gave Mirage a look, and the artifact spirit nodded back.

Like before, Mirage's figure crumbled into a small pile of sand that slowly fell to the ground with the rest of the piles.

"Hey, Mirage. Can you do something about all of this sand? The Gen Empire has beaches, but they are far away. Having so much sand in the room is going to be a weird thing." Xue Bai asked.

A small pile of sand had already piled up on the floor from the three spells and Mirage's constantly changing forms. And while Xue Bai didn't care much for how weird he seemed to the other students, it was still odd.

It would be better to just clean it up to ensure no one got the wrong idea.

"Sure," Mirage answered.

And without a word or even a spell, the pile of sand on the ground was absorbed back into Xue Bai's body.

Content, Xue Bai made sure that he hadn't left anything in the room before exiting and meeting Ling Er outside.

"Take me to the secret realm."

Ling Er was very compliant, especially after what happened a few days ago in the Black Ghost. And without delay, he unleashed his movement technique and guided Xue Bai to where the other students were gathering.

The students weren't far, and after a quick run, the two arrived.

"Good. Now that he is here, that means everyone is here!" Feng Hui said as he clapped.

Now, Feng Hui no longer had the pathetic appearance he had a few days ago when Duke Han sent him through the washer, but instead looked like he had just come right out of a massage. Bright and radiant.

While he didn't know what Long Tian wrote in the letter, it worked wonders.

After Duke Han's wave of water washed him and Lin Fu away, nothing else came to them. Duke Han didn't attempt to bother them, nor did he kill them, which was extremely rare for the petty and violent Duke Han.

Duke Han would avenge even the slightest wrongdoing toward him and his subordinates, so the fact that he and Lin Fu were undisturbed during their two days in Steel Moon City meant that Long Tian's letter worked. Or maybe Duke Han was too busy with the aftermath of the letter.

Either way, he was happy, and his facial expression showed that.

After announcing Xue Bai's arrival, Feng Hui pulled out the Black Ghost and ordered the students to board.

"Students just stay at the bow of the ship. The trip will be short." Feng Hui ordered before doing the same.

Xue Bai and the other student complied. And after making sure everyone was accounted for, they flew off for the forest outside. It wasn't a far trip, but they needed to keep up appearances, so Feng Hui brought the Black Ghost.

Inside, many of the students went over to Feng Hui in an attempt to gather information. From which students the Kun Empire Academy was brought and what secret realm they were going to, the students didn't hold back.

And Feng Hui didn't either.

Feng Hui was against the current monarch, yes, but he was still a citizen of the Gen Empire and, moreover, a teacher at the Gen Empire Academy. As eccentric as he was, he wanted success to come to his home.

So he didn't hold back either and answered the questions he was asked.

"From what I know, the secret realm can hold a maximum of 100 cultivators below the Dharma Idol realm, and of the 100 spots, we, the Gen Empire, have 60, while the Kun Empire has 40." Feng Hui said.

But once again, like sleeper agents, the students erupted in anger the moment that Feng Hui mentioned the Kun Empire.

"Damn those devils!"

"Thieving rats!"

"Yea! It was ours, to begin with."

"Calm down, all of you!" Feng Hui snorted in displeasure, "I haven't finished yet."

"Now, where was I? Oh, yes."

"Of the 40 students the Kun Empire Academy brought, almost everyone is in the Qi Sea realm. The only ones that aren't are a select few peak Organ Tempering realm talents, but they are in the minority. Only 4 or 5 students are in those realms."

"Of the Qi Sea realm students, 13 are in the early stages, while another eight are in the middle stages of the realm. The other 14 are equally split up between the late and peak stages of the Qi Sea Realm."

"As for specific students, this Elder doesn't know."
