...

One person, one chicken, and a square-shaped pig came from the back room, where now an array had been set up.

A six-ringed, nested Stone Pill Summoning Array floated in mid-air, but its rotation direction was completely opposite to normal.

Zhang Ze placed Rongrong's eggshell into the array, and the array lit up with a circle of golden light, seemingly establishing some kind of link.

Zhang Ze looked at Rongrong, "Exhibit the Acquired Dao Body, let me see if there are any oversights."

Rongrong knew this move, which was why Zhang Ze chose Rongrong.

Upon hearing this, Rongrong nodded, floated up, folded its wings in front of its body, and substantive flames rose around it, taking the form of a red egg.

After enveloping itself entirely, its body began to transform into the Acquired Dao Body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a stone egg of flames.

Because the learning time was short, Rongrong couldn't fully exhibit the Acquired Dao Body and had to craft a shell as a clever workaround.

Zhang Ze picked up Rongrong, checked it, thought there should be no issues, and allowed it to revert.

"Take this." Zhang Ze pointed at his forehead, and a wisp of Spiritual Light was drawn from his forehead. Before the light dispersed, Li cooperatively swallowed it and then spat it out again.

An amber crystal preserved the wisp of Spiritual Light inside. Although the light continued to dissipate, the speed had slowed significantly.

Mr. Zhang, although unable to perform Soul Separation Technique, could perform the Soul Tearing Technique.

He tore off a fragment from his own Divine Soul.

Though such an action could be self-destructively harmful for ordinary cultivators, it posed no problem for him, as he could recover quickly, and the torn Divine Soul would soon vanish without a trace.

Yet, not knowing the keywords and unwilling to gamble, this was the only viable option.

After handing the crystal to Rongrong, Zhang Ze took out a black stone.

"The black stone that fell in Chang State, you're aware of this, right?"

Rongrong, "Yes."

Zhang Ze, "Alright, then I won't explain further. You know its abilities. Before departing, record on this what you don't wish to forget."

Zhang Ze wasn't sure if his plan would succeed, so he took extra precautions, letting Rongrong carry the black stone. In case of any mishaps, memories could be restored.

Rongrong obediently nodded, grasped the black stone with its claws, and inspected it.

Bits and pieces of this life as a bird came to mind.

The tender times spent with Chen Qin vanished in a flash.

Then came the memories of fighting with Li.

Following that, memories of fighting with Li while carrying Maomao occurred.

Later, memories of fighting with Li, who carried Maomao, emerged.

...

Rongrong blinked and suddenly felt these memories weren't particularly important, it could do without them.

It shook its head and finally tucked the black stone carefully between its chest feathers and showcased its splendid long legs to Li once more.

Then, as Li leaped up to drag it to the ground, it transformed into the Acquired Dao Body and entered the array.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ze controlled a small ball to send a signal to Junior Sister.

As the rotation of the array accelerated, Rongrong disappeared.

...

It was a very peculiar sensation, like returning to the embrace of a mother.

The stubborn mother wanted to erase the child's pain, keeping the child forever by her side. However, the equally stubborn child insisted on climbing out of the cradle.

Under the protection of the Acquired Dao Body, Rongrong didn't lose much memory, and soon it saw a beam of light in the profound darkness.

It was reborn once again. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Opening its eyes, Rongrong found Junior Sister curiously observing it, while Lily wore a surprised expression as if saying, "Wow, this is possible too."

Rongrong was a bit confused, chirped once, planning to fly to Chen Qin's head. However, it didn't lift, instead, it plopped right to the ground.

It tried to get up but felt its head was heavy, and its wings felt feeble.

Realizing something was amiss, it slowly lowered its head to look at its wings.

"Huh?!!!!"

A scream echoed throughout the hall.

Somehow, Rongrong had reverted to its newborn form, that of a big-headed chick.
