Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Dusk is falling, and it is getting dark.

In a quiet valley.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying rang out.

Soon, the baby's crying stopped.

He tried to open his little eyes and looked around.

This little life is Jiang Yun, the reincarnation of Bai Shi Shu.

He was just born and was being held in the arms of a man in white robes.

"Zongting, you've given birth. It's a boy."

The man in white robes held Jiang Yun in his arms, gazing at a woman leaning against a large tree.

His expression was unpredictable.

He didn't experience the excitement and joy that a normal man feels when he becomes a father.

"Let me see it quickly."

"It's Zong Ting," the woman said weakly.

She looked like she had just given birth and was still a bit weak.

"it is good."

The man in white robes bent down and held Jiang Yun in one arm for the woman to examine.

With his other hand, he quietly reached for the storage bag at his waist.

Just then, the woman suddenly sprang up.

He swung his hand and slapped the white-robed man on the top of his head.

Caught off guard.

A surge of violent spiritual energy instantly rushed into the man's body.

The man's internal organs were shattered, and he bled from all seven orifices.

"Zhou Zongting, you..."

He stared at the woman in shock.

Life is slipping away, and strength vanishes in an instant.

The arm that had been holding Jiang Yun fell limply to its side.

Jiang Yun fell to the ground with a "thud".

It hurts, my whole body aches!

This fall almost cost Jiang Yun his life.

"What the hell?!"

"Don't you know that newborn babies need to be carefully cared for?"

Jiang Yun cursed inwardly.

He was lying on the ground at that moment, his perspective changed, and he started to watch the show.

He saw the man in white robes, who was his father in this life, bleeding from his seven orifices.

Fresh blood dripped around him, making a splattering sound.

The woman withdrew her hand and snatched the man's storage bag.

Judging from their appearance, neither of them are good people.

"Liu Jiuying, why didn't you listen when I told you to sell your magic artifacts for spirit stones?"

Zhou Zongting received the storage bag, immediately opened it to check, and muttered something under her breath.

After checking the storage bag, she said with a ferocious expression, "It's all your fault for being unwilling to part with the magical artifact, putting me and the child in danger."

"Zhou Zongting, you're ruthless!"

Before she died, Liu Jiuying said, slowly and deliberately, "I shouldn't have hesitated just now."

"Are you hesitating?" Zhou Zongting sneered. "I doubt it!"

"You have such a cruel heart," Liu Jiuying said unwillingly.

"If I hadn't been desperate that day, why would I have submitted to you?" Zhou Zongting said disdainfully.

"So you've been putting on an act all along."

Liu Jiuying closed her eyes weakly, her body swaying unsteadily.

"It's getting dark soon, and then the strange things will happen. We happen to be out of spirit stones, so we'll use you to light the spirit lantern."

Zhou Zongting revealed a chilling smile.

"Tomorrow I will find the nearest city and sell your magic weapon to get spirit stones."

"Rest in peace. My child and I will live on. Thank you for shining your light and protecting my child tonight."

Liu Jiuying's breath hitched; she was clearly furious.

He opened his mouth before he died, as if he wanted to curse.

Unfortunately, his whole body stiffened instantly, and he took his last breath.

He then collapsed and died.

After a while.

It got dark.

In the darkness, countless strange things are stirring.

Zhou Zongting took out the Yuantian Lamp, threw Liu Jiuying into it, and lit the Yuantian Lamp.

The Yuantian Lantern was instantly ignited.

The emanating firelight kept the eerie presence at bay.

After doing all this.

She then remembered that her child was still on the ground.

Looking at the crying, hungry baby.

Zhou Zongting's face showed a struggle.

Her expression shifted between gentleness and madness.

It seems that the baby could be thrown to the monster to be eaten at any moment.

"Waaaaah..."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun burst into tears.

She didn't cry even after being thrown down.

Now I had no choice but to cry.

Their will to survive is at its peak.

Hearing the baby cry, Zhou Zongting's expression returned to normal.

She knelt down, picked up the baby, and sat down next to the Yuantian Lantern.

She took a piece of clothing from the storage bag and wrapped the baby up tightly.

Beyond the range of the Yuantian Lantern's flames, countless strange creatures lurked, waiting for their chance to strike.

The night was darker.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Zhou Zongting reached out and touched the baby's face, muttering to herself.

"Son, your father refused to sell the magic artifact for spirit stones, which resulted in the spirit lantern having no spirit stones to light, putting you and me in danger."

"He felt immense remorse and voluntarily sacrificed himself, throwing himself into the Yuantian Lantern to ignite it and protect us."

"Tomorrow I will take you to the nearest city, sell your father's magical artifact, and then return to your maternal home in Maple Leaf City."

In the pitch-black night, in the deep valley.

Only the flames emitted by the Yuantian Lantern were visible.

Beyond the firelight, countless bizarre creatures roamed.

Zhou Zongting muttered to herself.

This made the valley even more terrifying.

Jiang Yun was speechless.

Was it a voluntary sacrifice?

You killed him.

You were the one who threw him into the Yuantian Lantern to use as fuel.

Saying these things is nothing more than adding drama to one's own life.

"This world is too dangerous."

"Everyone is willing to do anything, no matter the cost, to survive!"

"I think I'll go to sleep first."

do not care.

I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap first.

Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Jiang Yun closed her eyes in Zhou Zongting's arms.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The eeriness vanished completely, and no one knows where it went.

The last flame of the Yuantian Lantern went out.

Zhou Zongting put the Yuantian Lantern into her storage bag.

At the same time, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

Judging from the style of this jade slip, it should be a map jade slip.

as predicted.

As Zhou Zongting infused her magic power into the jade slip.

Lifelike maps also appeared.

"Nine-Story City".

Zhou Zongting muttered to herself.

The nearest city is Jiulou City.

Only then did he carry Jiang Yun away from the valley and head towards Jiulou City.

noon.

Zhou Zongting could see the outline of Jiulou City in the distance.

She rushed over.

At this moment, three cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining suddenly appeared on both sides of the road and blocked her way.

These three cultivators were at the late stage of Qi Refining, two men and one woman.

The female cultivator was accompanied by a spirit beast.

"Halt!" the female cultivator shouted. "Are you going to Nine-Story City to use the teleportation array?"

"No, I've run out of spirit stones and want to go to the city to exchange for some more to ward off the strange occurrences."

Zhou Zongting shook her head.

She had no idea that there was a teleportation array in the Ninth Floor City.

Therefore, Jiulou City must have been a large city and a transportation hub.

"Hmph!" the female cultivator sneered. "If you want to go to Nine-Story City, you'll have to hand over three spirit stones first!"

"I used up all my spirit stones last night."

Zhou Zongting felt extremely helpless.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a calamity cultivator.

"That's none of my business!" the female cultivator said. "Either hand over three spirit stones, or you go to the Eighth Floor City."

Zhou Zongting asked, "In which direction is Eight-Story City?"

"Three hundred li to the west," the female cultivator replied.

"Okay." Zhou Zongting nodded. "I'll go to the Eighth Floor City."
