Perfect Double Agent

The King Spear is still there; it's practically a curse. Perhaps as long as the imprint within his primordial spirit remains, this thing will continue to follow him.

Within his body, the 365 portals remained, now far more sacred than before, like gates of the gods. They were connected by patterns, linking to a... Sea of ​​Time and Space in his dantian!

It is no longer in the form of a large lake, but has expanded to an unimaginable extent, truly vast and boundless. Just a casual wave seems to stir up an indescribable and terrifying power.

Now, he felt as if he had inexhaustible power, with countless spatial and temporal forces flowing through his entire body. He could easily kill his six-month-old self with a mere gesture, and he felt stronger than ever before.

Although his body seemed to have shrunk due to the influence of space and time, his strength and magic power remained intact, without any loss or discomfort. On the contrary, he felt extremely well, as if the door to his potential had been completely opened and some kind of trait had been activated.

"Not bad. It should be considered a preliminary success in the transformation of the spacetime body. It has barely achieved the expected effect, but further development is still needed." Bai Ye nodded, kicked the cauldron that had lost its divine power, jumped off the Samsara Altar, and retrieved the Qiankun Bag he had left outside.

"Can you control the primordial energy above your head?" asked the Reincarnation Immortal King, voicing his greatest interest.

"It seems like it could work..."

As Bai Ye finished speaking, the primordial energy above his head began to sink, seemingly returning to his flesh and blood.

However, in reality, it did not return to the physical body, but instead took root in the primordial spirit.

Even more strangely, the blurry figure standing in the flower of the Great Dao was still there and had not disappeared. What was even more bizarre was that the blurry figure raised his hand, causing one of the portals in his body to tremble.

At the same time, a seed of supernatural power flew out from the portal and landed on the blurry figure.

This was strange; neither side rejected the other, and the supernatural seed directly merged into the blurry figure.

However, that seed of supernatural power was something he had nurtured for a long time through two lifetimes!

"Could this figure on the primordial energy be his past life?" Bai Ye murmured to himself. Because time travel is the most incredible thing in the world, and it was precisely because of time travel that he had unparalleled talent in time and space.

The time travel didn't bring him any strange or wonderful cheat codes, but it did give him the most simple and unpretentious abilities.

"What are your plans for your future cultivation?" The Reincarnation Immortal King glanced at the golden spear mark on Bai Ye's right arm, showing no displeasure, and asked casually.

"I humbly request guidance from the Immortal King," Bai Ye said.

"Actually, using one's own body as a seed is a kind of cultivation that removes the immortal seed. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have made a good start so far. For further development, I suggest you accumulate strength first and then take the next step when you are strong enough. Because every new path will always bring some bad things. Even the simplest lightning tribulation is not something you can withstand."

"I understand." Bai Ye nodded. If this place weren't the Land of Reincarnation, the territory of the Reincarnation Immortal King in his previous life, he might not be able to guarantee what might have happened.

However, he was just listening quietly, because the figure of the Reincarnation Immortal King was different from before; it had begun to become transparent.

"Let's talk about your current situation. At this stage, a normal person can have up to three streams of immortal energy. The first stream comes from one's own path, which is the path one has taken. After you have settled down for a period of time, it should manifest."

"So fast..." Bai Ye was surprised. He felt that he was in better condition than ever before and did not notice anything else unusual.

The Reincarnation Immortal King's eye twitched almost imperceptibly. Others ignite divine fire, while you directly set your entire body ablaze. How can the effects be the same?

"In total, you have actually been tempering here for a whole year, experiencing the Dao planting three times, and finally being burned in the Great Space-Time, which is extraordinary."

The primordial energy, also known as the mother energy, normally disperses within your physical body, becoming nourishment for your body and preparing for the development of true immortal energy.

But your primordial energy hasn't disappeared; it has manifested. Therefore, the original, true immortal energy is still being nurtured, perhaps even within your body..."

……

Three days passed in a row, and Bai Ye sat cross-legged on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Altar, constantly sorting out some things.

Over the past three days, the Reincarnation Immortal King had talked to him a lot, about the cultivation of immortal energy, as well as some speculations about using the body as a seed and the use of reincarnation power.

In the end, they even gave him a time-travel spell called "Endless," which was practically like arranging his funeral.

"I've exhausted too much energy this time and can't continue. Once you're stable, you can go to the Reincarnation Chamber inside the altar. Perhaps I can help you cultivate a strand of immortal energy. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to meet again in the future."

"Are you sure?" Bai Ye looked up at the already blurry and fading tall figure.

"Actually, we met a long time ago..."

Bai Ye was confused. He was certain that he had never met the Reincarnation Immortal King before, and if he had, it must have happened later.

However, in the end, the Reincarnation Immortal King still dissipated, leaving only him at the edge of the altar.

But he did not leave; instead, he stayed in place to solidify and familiarize himself with the power at this level.

……

Two months have passed.

The figure on the altar still exists; he is still only about six years old, and his body is covered with dense lines, like countless cracks.

At the same time, patches of white gas were also floating in the crack. Like the original primordial energy, they took root in the body and began to gather.

This was his first true wisp of immortal energy, born from the path he had chosen, and it took him two months to nurture it.

However, unlike the primordial energy, this immortal energy, though not subtle, has not yet blossomed and will likely only be able to blossom when one reaches the True God realm.

In the ancient times of immortals, there were at most three paths of immortal energy. The first path was one's own path. The second path required finding another way. The third path was somewhat different. One could undergo a tribulation of lightning to further transform oneself, thereby sublimating and releasing the ultimate potential of the human body. However, this process was more difficult because such tribulations of lightning were basically linked to death.

If he wanted to cultivate a second path, the power of reincarnation would be the best choice, and it would also conform to the characteristics of spacetime. The three are perfectly compatible, which is why he chose the land of reincarnation in the first place.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a pitch-black passage, a figure holding a plate radiating chaotic energy was furtively groping along the passage.

“It’s been over a year… I only recently woke up, but where did my junior brother go? He hasn’t come looking for me in so long. Did he sense something was wrong and run away on his own?”

The girl in the black dress was suspicious. In this dark passage, it seemed to have no end. Even her divine sense was useless. She had no idea where she was. She had been walking for more than ten days and was still in the passage. The only thing that made her feel at ease was the broken corner of a plate that she had picked up, which seemed like a treasure.

"Huh... there's another one?"

Suddenly, the girl's hand, which was groping along the stone wall, paused slightly and stopped there.

A corner plate was quietly embedded in the stone wall, looking as if it were covered in dust, abandoned for who knows how long, plain and unadorned, without a trace of life.

But when you reach out and touch it, you can feel wisps of chaotic energy emanating from it, making it very mysterious.

"It looks a lot like that giant's plate. Could this thing be... the legendary Wheel of Reincarnation?!"

Chapter 221 Prodigal Son

"It doesn't seem like it. Apart from being hard, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it..." the girl in the black dress muttered to herself, as she pried the corner plate off the stone wall.

Both plates are very old, and when placed together, they fit together perfectly without any gaps.

"I'll take it back to show my junior brother. He loves these ancient artifacts. Luckily, I left him some pure law water... well, it's the water left over after I soaked in it..."

The girl seemed to have thought of something, so she shrank her neck, her eyes darting around, and continued to move her tall figure.

However, once she arrived, she realized that the passage seemed to have come to an end, with only a mysterious vortex spinning ahead, as if it connected to a world or was a gateway to reincarnation.

"Where is my junior brother...?"

But just as she finished speaking, the vortex began to spin faster, and immediately, streams of energy, like the power of reincarnation, emanated from it, as if drawn by something, actively transmitting to the other end of the passage.

"What happened...?"

Central place.

The ancient Taoist platform is nine stories high, like the nine heavens, each level giving people an indescribable sense of vastness and weight.

At its apex, the hexagonal altar continuously glowed, drawing upon the power of reincarnation within each reincarnation channel, turning this central area into a hazy gray, indistinct space where a stone chamber inscribed with symbols of the Great Dao seemed to emerge.

It wasn't very large, only about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) long. It had no entrance, was square, and covered an altar. It was entirely black, and its material was unknown. Due to the infusion of the power of reincarnation, countless symbols lit up on its surface. They were like a sky full of stars, each one dazzlingly bright, or like a vessel of the Great Dao, with an astonishing aura of the Great Dao flowing from each symbol.

This is the Reincarnation Chamber left behind by the Reincarnation Immortal King. It is extremely mysterious. Originally located inside the altar, it has now manifested and shrouded the altar.

However, when he activated the power of reincarnation, he was easily absorbed into it.

This is a very spacious stone chamber. The proportions inside and outside are no different. It is still ten zhang in size, and you can see the end of it when you look up. Even the surrounding stone walls are filled with Dao patterns and runes. Standing inside, it feels like standing at the center of the entire universe. You can easily touch the symbols that are like stars.

In addition, there were some things piled up in the corner of the stone chamber, which looked like waste.

But when he shifted his gaze, his eyes widened instantly.

The Five Elements Immortal Gold, as tall as an adult, was carelessly tossed in a corner, like discarded trash.

Beside it, the World Stones stand like small hills, flowing with an indescribable silvery-white luster, breathtaking at first glance.

Not far from both, chaotic energy billowed from a pile of gray sand, obscuring the area; but this soil resembled chaotic earth...

Even in another corner, there were piles of Primordial Stones and Yellow Dao Immortal Gold.

However, they all have one thing in common: the essence of immortality and the patterns of the Great Dao that they once possessed have disappeared, and even their colors have become dull and lackluster.

Moreover, large cracks appeared on its surface, like weathered rock, which might crumble at the slightest touch.

"Everyone says I'm a spendthrift, but I think you're the real spendthrift!" Bai Ye's lips twitched, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. After all, they had spent a year together, and it was inevitable that he would leave.

"But you should at least leave me some. In case I become powerful enough in the future and remember your kindness, I might just resurrect you. After all, you are one of the old man's biggest worries, and we are still very close."

However, those things were probably already scrap during the Immortal Ancient Era, and most of them were probably destroyed long ago.

"You say he's a spendthrift... I've always agreed with that..."

Suddenly, at that moment, a voice came directly from above his head, causing the entire stone chamber to emit an unprecedented chaotic light.

Bai Ye looked up and saw a corner of a wheel prominently displayed in the center of the stone wall above him. It was embedded in the very center of the concentric circles of patterns, like a pebble dropped into water, with hazy ripples spreading around it.

"See... I am the proof... Have you ever seen a master who would break his own thing into six pieces and leave the great me here, never to see the light of day... even though it gave me five more brothers..."

Although he was complaining, Bai Ye felt a sadness coming from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This is a very special Immortal King artifact. It was divided into six parts and once carried the Dao Fruit of the Reincarnation Immortal King. It survived the ancient times without decaying and was not lost in a foreign land.

However, of the other five pieces, one is on Flame Wheel, two are on a giant from the Upper Realm, one is currently in the stone chamber, and the whereabouts of the remaining two are unknown.

"Is he dead again...?"

Bai Ye nodded. "He said he was dead. Although he said it more than once, it seems he really is dead this time."

"He won't die. This is just a cycle. One day in the future, he will reappear... I will wait for his return..."

"Perhaps." Bai Ye remained noncommittal. "Actually, if you believe in reincarnation, you should believe in me instead. I think I should be more reliable than reincarnation, provided that I can grow to that level."

"Yeah……"

As an ambiguous voice rang out, the entire stone chamber began to tremble, as if a massive amount of reincarnation power was gathering, making the interior of the stone chamber dazzling. Countless runes and patterns began to revive, like ten thousand burning paths, intensely and terrifyingly bright.

Even Bai Ye felt unprecedentedly small, as if he were facing a vast universe descending from the heavens. Its boundless immensity and oppressive aura instantly overwhelmed him.

It was as if ten thousand paths were blooming simultaneously, each rune a flower of the Great Dao. In the instant they all opened, countless Daoist fires raged, as if they wanted to sacrifice him, who was standing in the stone chamber.

It was terrifying; in just a moment, cracks appeared in his body, and blood began to seep out.

"Hold fast to your mind and comprehend its profound mysteries... Whether you can transform yourself through this depends entirely on yourself..."

The hazy voice continued to ring out, but Bai Ye could no longer respond. At this moment, he was in immense pain, as if one immortal sword after another was piercing through his body and severing his primordial spirit.

However, at the instant the rune collided with his physical body, the Dao principles resounded like a great bell, echoing throughout his body and mind, and reverberating in his primordial spirit.
