Mira's consciousness was sucked into the void, she was going to her new body. Her new mother and father just started trying to have a child a few weeks prior. Unbeknownst to them, their child is at least 10 times their age.
"AH fuck! Another painful reincarnation. Now I have to wait another 9 months in this pitch-black place, with nothing else to do other than think. Well, I guess it's not so bad. I can check up my new body, make sure that my spiritual scythe came with me through my soul, and go over the martial arts and cultivation manuals that I remember. Even though I can't practice them, I can review them."
Mira then proceeded to check her condition. She was ecstatic that her spiritual weapon stayed with her. Spiritual weapons are much more valuable than other regular weapons. They may not be exceedingly powerful in the beginning, but they have the potential to grow stronger with the user. They also sit in a cultivator's soul. Even though they grow with the cultivator's strength, it's only to a certain degree. The weapon will have explosive growth when a cultivator hits the nascent soul realm. Mira got lucky and found the inheritance of an old cultivator that left behind this scythe as well as a cultivation manual.
The scythe is called the Abyssal Sea Scythe. The scythe is 2 meters tall with a 70 centimeter-long curved blade at the end. The pole end of the scythe has an extremely sharp spike at the bottom. It's almost full black with veins of crystal blue all over the scythe.
"I'm glad that this scythe stayed with me through this. Even though the strength dropped down to mortal grade, it still has the potential to grow. Plus it can be considered the absolute best mortal grade weapon. The best that it could get to is earth grade before I reach the nascent soul stage, but that's fine. I can also use the cultivation manual that came with the scythe. The Hell Scythe Essence cultivation manual. It uses a spiritual scythe as a base, but other than that it's a pretty normal manual. The only thing special is that it increases the durability and sharpness of the scythe. It also strengthens my soul sea, where the scythe rests in, through cultivation. Although it's not that much, after a while the benefits will be great."
"The real benefits are when I reach nascent soul stage though. I will just have to practice hard and wait to reach that stage."
There are 5 different grades for weapons. Human, Mortal, Earth, Heaven, and Immortal. Human is just a basic weapon made of common materials. Even a child can wield one of these weapons. Mortal-grade weapons and up are for cultivators. They allow cultivators to coat the weapon in qi or have qi flow through it and use their martial arts. Earth and Heaven weapons can still be used at a lower realm of cultivation, but they are exponentially heavier and require more and denser qi to flow through them. Immortal weapons are essentially legends. They are rumored to be able to slice the earth and moon.
The same goes for cultivation manuals. Human ones can get you to qi condensation. Mortal grade manuals get you through the foundation stage. Earth can get you nascent soul stage, but if you can't figure out a way to utilize this further then you'll be stuck at the end of the nascent soul stage unable to progress. Heaven manuals can get you to the Soul Transformation Realm. You can also get into the immortal ascension stage with a heaven manual as long as you have a rock-solid foundation. Immortal manuals can bring you all the way to ascend to become an immortal. Heaven and Immortal are both rare, but there are more immortal manuals than heaven because people will use a heaven manual until the end and figure out ways to become an Immortal through it. That manual then will turn into an immortal grade manual.
"I have my cultivation manual set so no need to try and get my hands on one of those. I guess I can use these 9 months to make sure I remember every single detail. I have my main weapon, some decent martial art skill, but those might be useless as I don't know what elemental affinity I have yet. My biggest hurdle will be getting through Body Tempering. I've only successfully made it to Qi Condensation once and it was by far the hardest. Well, I will cross that road when I can start training."
"I guess I will just review what's in my mind and wait until I'm born. The rest can be figured out as I go along."
With that, Mira proceeded to review the manuals in her head and wait for the rest of the 9 months until she is born.

8 months later
"How are you feeling Jannette? Do you need me to get you anything or maybe make a bath for you?" Said a husky-voiced man.
"No thanks Zach, I'm fine. I'm just a little worried though because the baby hasn't kicked really at all in these 8 months, but the nurse says that she's fine." Said a woman with an especially sweet voice.
These two are Mira's new parents. They are young, around 30 years old. They are both mortals that have no interest in the brutal world of cultivation. They only want to live day by day and have a happy fulfilling mortal life. Right now they are waiting for Mira's mother to give birth. She looks like she's ready to pop at any moment now. Zach has been running around a lot lately collecting herbs and water for her while making big healthy meals.
These two live in a small village called Green Grass Village that's along the outskirts of a forest. This forest is also near a mountain range as well. The forest is called Dark Moon Forest as it's pretty much dark all of the time, but for whatever reason has a silver hue at night when the moon comes out. The mountain range is called Skytop Mountain Range and is a danger zone with lots of magical beasts that roam there.
Green Grass Village is just a small village with around 100 people living in it. These people live ordinary lives and most are just at either Strength Training or Body Forging in the Body Tempering Stage. The strongest person is in the Marrow Tempering Stage, but cannot go any further due to lack of resources and getting old. He's almost 150 years old which is about the lifespan of a human that hasn't completed Marrow Tempering.
"AH!, Zach, I think the baby is coming! Hurry get ready!" Jannette yelled at her husband.
"Coming Dear! I'll be bringing Elder Yu with us to help as well. She's helped give birth to numerous babies in the village." Zach answered back
"Okay Honey! Hurry!"
Jannette can't wait to give birth to her baby. She's been dreaming of this day ever since she was a little kid. Being a mother and collecting herbs is the women's main job in the village, while the men hunt and build houses and defenses to protect the village.
A little while later Zach and Elder Yu are next to Jannette, who is now holding her newborn baby girl.
Jannette just sat there with a tired but happy face while looking at her baby girl.
"Zach, what should we name her?"
"Well, we decided that we'd go with Mira if we had a girl, and I think that name we should just stick with that. It's a beautiful name."
"Okay, it's decided. Her name will be Mira! Do you like that name, Mira?" Jannette asked Mira.
Mira, who had just popped out of the womb just looked at her since she's a baby and can't do anything, but inwardly was still surprised.
'For whatever reason, my name stays the same no matter what life, body, or world I'm in.'
She looked around and saw Elder Yu, who had grey hair, wrinkles, but still had sharp features. She was staring at Mira noticing she wasn't crying, but Mira seemed healthy.
"The baby doesn't seem to be crying, you should give her a smack just to make sure she's fine." Elder Yu said.
Jannette was a bit hesitant but turned Mira over and smacked her butt.
Mira started crying, it seemed that it's a natural reflex for babies to cry even if she's used to pain. Plus she has to cry or else they might think somethings wrong.
'Damn! This happens every time. Well, hopefully, this is my last reincarnation. My mind still needs time to adjust to the body. Since my soul is hundreds of years old, the balance between mind and body is off. I just hope my mind isn't too affected this time around.'
Indeed, Mira has figured out that even though this is her 11th body, the reflexes of the body will still affect her mind due to the imbalances.
"Well, it looks like she is in good health. Congratulations on giving birth to such a beautiful child." Elder Yu said as she got up to leave their house.
"Wow Zach, look how beautiful our daughter is! With her wine-red eyes and this shiny silver hair. She looks almost like a goddess even as a newborn! I can't imagine how she'll look when she gets older. I can see all of the boys flocking to her! Hehe." Jannette exclaimed.
"Hmph! I won't be handing over my precious daughter to any boys unless they are stronger than me!" Zack said, already annoyed at the thought of boys going near Mira.
"Hehe, well no point thinking about that now. Let's just do the best we can."
Jannette looked at Zach lovingly and vice versa.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
