Perfect Double Agent

The sound was so immense, deafening, accompanied by an incomparably grand aura, as if some supreme mystery was unfolding, or as if the Great Dao scriptures were being recited autonomously, clear and real, spreading like ripples across his heart, captivating him and making him forget the pain for a moment.

Chapter 222 People Who Reverse the Ages

Time flies.

A mortal's life is but a hundred years, like a blade of grass in autumn; this is the law of nature, and who can truly escape it?

A crystal-clear stone chamber, filled with billions of stars, seems to contain the rise and fall of all things and the changes of the universe. A glance at it makes you feel that one era after another has passed.

From the smallest insects and plants to the vast universe, everything decays and then revives, life and death cycle endlessly, a scene that sends chills down one's spine.

In the cycle of reincarnation, nothing is immortal, including this world, including all the great paths, anything tangible or intangible, will eventually come to an end.

Just like that immortal, it could not escape destruction; just like that immortal, though seemingly immortal, it too would turn into dust.

If one day this world were to perish, would the myriad paths within it still exist? The answer is definitely no.

However, their disappearance will usher in a new life, just like the ancient immortals. The death of the ancient immortals gave birth to the present world.

"Everything in the world can be destroyed, but new life will sprout from the ruins of destruction. Is this the cycle of reincarnation...?"

A girl in a black dress stood in front of the stone chamber, holding a broken plate in one hand. As if she had lived through countless ages, she slowly awoke and uttered a soft, dreamlike murmur.

She had a sudden realization that if she cultivated reincarnation to its ultimate level, she could absolutely control all the stars in the heavens, control the rise and fall of all things in the universe, and have the power to influence all living beings with a single word and to bring about the rise and fall of all things in the world. No one in heaven or on earth could stop her!

If she can have such insights, then the Reincarnation Heavenly Art seems to have undergone a transformation, progressing rapidly. How terrifying must those who have been burned by the flames of reincarnation for a long time be?

She had been here for four months. She had rushed over the day she felt the surge of the power of reincarnation, but she was still a step too late. Her junior brother had already gone in before she arrived.

She didn't know what her junior brother was going through, nor what he was cultivating, which required burning himself with billions of runes.

But she was heartbroken to see her junior brother going through one reincarnation after another. Sometimes his body was burned, leaving large holes and blood staining the altar. But he didn't cry out. Instead, he used this to undergo nirvana, transforming into a true phoenix egg and being reborn.

Sometimes, the junior brother would be completely burned away, leaving only a seed the size of a fist. Nourished by the power of reincarnation, the seed would take root and sprout, growing in the air and transforming into a small grass. Eventually, it would unfold one sword leaf after another, with sword energy surging, cutting through stars, splitting the sun and moon, and piercing through the universe.

However, the sword grass will eventually perish. It seems to have reached its peak and began to age and wither over the years, gradually losing its vitality. In the end, its entire upper body disappeared. It concentrated its last vitality and produced a drop of water resembling a concentrated rune at its root.

This was undoubtedly strange, and something the witch could hardly understand.

The water droplets were only the size of soybeans, hazy and ethereal. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they seemed to contain boundless void and a mysterious white ocean.

Huge waves crashed against the sky, rolling up countless whitecaps that could be vaguely seen, seemingly containing countless vast realms and endless life forms. Each wave was unimaginably vast.

But what's even stranger is that although the sea seems to have no end, there are two strange rivers in the center.

They came from the endless void, rising and falling, bright and dark. The transparent river above had no beginning and perhaps no end, but it seemed to be cut off by the sea, with all the river water flowing into the ocean. Therefore, the sea became its destination.

But the dark river below was even stranger; it wasn't flowing downstream, but rather, it emerged from the sea and was flowing upstream!

This is contrary to common sense and is also rebellious, as if it is flowing towards that unknown end, connecting with the starting point of the transparent river above, forming a loop.

Is this a cycle of reincarnation? The witch didn't know.

But then, screams rang out beside her.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Is he building a time-space sea, or is he staging a reversal of the river of time? Does he want to reverse the past and present?"

"He's absolutely insane. Either he's insane, or I'm insane!"

There are even differences. If we consider it as a ring, the sea itself is a ring, because it not only runs parallel to the river of time, but also intends to cut it off at some point in the future, making itself the end point of the river of time. The final flow of all the years in the world will return to the sea.

Not only have they replaced the future, but they've also reversed the order of the past and present. If the two rivers of time were to converge, everything from the past to the future would be overturned, and the existence of all living beings would be utterly meaningless.

"You're overthinking it. He's just a weakling. Although we don't know why the third brother is helping him, it's probably not what we think. He's just a little kid, not even an immortal. He's probably a divine power sea, and he's created two small rivers to comprehend reincarnation."

"Why do I feel like there's an aura of a vast new time and space up there..."

"Perhaps we slept for too long and our senses malfunctioned for a moment... Look, this person has come out and even successfully cultivated a wisp of immortal energy."

The witch was astonished, her eyes widening as she watched the drop of water transform in mid-air into a smooth-skinned child. He was enveloped in a pure white aura, and his entire body seemed to have evolved, transforming from a child into a young man, skipping directly from adolescence.

The transformation was rapid; his body grew larger, his black hair grew longer, his face became more and more handsome, and his physique became more and more slender and majestic. Although he was sitting cross-legged in the air, he seemed like a transcendent being between heaven and earth, causing the witch's face to turn as red as a ripe peach in an instant, so delicate and smooth that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.

She didn't even think about why the two plates could talk; she felt her face burning, and a blush instantly spread to her neck.

Even the two broken plates slipped silently from her hands. Perhaps it was the girl's instinct that made her involuntarily cover her eyes with her hands.

But then, the slender white fingers between those hands opened again, revealing two cunning yet guilty eyes that kept darting over the young man.

"You can look all you want, but you're even peeking. He won't notice. How do you think that stone chamber is transparent?"

"Young people these days... are burying their heads in the sand while stealing a bell..."

"I'm looking after my junior brother, how can that be called stealing!" The witch deliberately emphasized the word "my," clearly indicating that she had already considered her junior brother as her private property.

"However, how did my junior brother end up like this... although he's much more handsome..."

"It might be related to his Dao. Perhaps when the next wisp of immortal energy appears, he will become old, which may also lead to unforeseen events."

However, the moment the sound faded, for some unknown reason, a wisp of cold wind appeared in this land of reincarnation.

At the same time, the young man in the stone chamber opened his eyes.

The young man's reaction was astonishing. He grabbed a stone book from the corner of the stone chamber, slapped it against his forehead, and the next moment, his entire primordial spirit vanished.

This was a rather bizarre scene, leaving the witch completely bewildered. Her junior brother had just woken up when his primordial spirit vanished, leaving only his physical body behind.

However, the cold and dark aura remained, coming from who knows where, causing the two plates to play dead and remain motionless.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, a day, two days... nine days...

This was a very long process, and every moment felt like an eternity to the witch. She dared not move an inch, and her face was deathly pale, as if something was constantly shrouding her there.

However, it wasn't until the ninth day that the dark and ominous aura began to recede, as if it hadn't found its target.

The witch sensed that the cold and ominous aura was like a rule, which would attract any living being that broke or crossed a certain boundary.

Just like some records in ancient books, it is said that the more amazing a person is, the easier it is for them to lose their primordial spirit, especially when cultivating immortal energy...

Chapter 223 Goodness, the big weirdo has gotten even stronger!

"Take it with you; leaving it here is just a waste."

"really……"

Above the Reincarnation Land, three broken plates floated in the air, surrounding a young man, surrounded by wisps of chaotic mist. Even on the plates, symbols lit up one after another, like huge stars, making them extremely mysterious.

The immense power of reincarnation surged, causing the entire ancient land of reincarnation below to rise and continuously shrink.

"Are you really my junior brother? Are you sure you weren't replaced by someone else?" The witch looked up at the tall figure beside her, who was at least 1.9 meters tall, and her face slightly embarrassed.

"Otherwise, how about we go back to when we were six years old, and I knock you down again?" Bai Ye smiled.

"You dare!" The witch glared, but she didn't seem confident at all. The difference in height and build made her very uncomfortable. Standing next to him, she felt like a younger sister. Although it was harmonious and she and her junior brother looked good together, this was not the result she wanted to see.

"What exactly happened that day? Was there really something ominous?" the witch asked, voicing her doubts.

“Ominous signs have always been there, and they manifest in many ways. That day, it was a dark prison, specifically for imprisoning primordial spirits. The great figures in history whose primordial spirits disappeared were caused by that prison. Fortunately, your junior brother had foresight and ran fast enough.” Bai Ye explained with a smile, and casually reached out to rub the witch’s head, which earned him a glare.

"how do you know?"

“This place of reincarnation belongs to a senior who left his mark. I heard him say this while you were asleep. That’s right, these three broken plates are that senior’s magical artifacts.”

"The owner of the Reincarnation Disc?" The witch was stunned for a moment, thinking for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out. She only knew that there seemed to be a peerless being in the Immortal Ancient Era named Six Paths of Reincarnation, whose cultivation was unprecedented. She didn't know exactly how strong he was.

People in this era know very little about the ancient immortals; they mostly glean fragments of information from excavated ruins.

As expected, the witch stopped asking questions. She had always trusted him, which touched Bai Ye deeply.

"Oh, right, junior brother, I left you some liquid. It's very fragrant and pure. Would you like some?" The witch nodded, her eyes cunning and her smile bright. She flipped her hand, and a small transparent bottle appeared. It was faintly visible that the liquid inside was entirely formed from the laws of nature. It was extremely astonishing. If word got out, even the sect leader would be furious.

"Supreme Elixir...isn't this your bathwater?"

For a moment, the air between the two was silent. Their eyes met, the witch's smile froze on her face, and even her heels began to lift.

"You want me to drink your bathwater? What were you thinking? How could you be so treacherous?!"

"Oh no, someone's been murdered!"

The witch screamed and tried to run away, but she was imprisoned by a piece of time. She struggled constantly, but her body did not move. Even though she had obtained great fortune and her strength was now far beyond what it used to be, and she could look down on all others, she was still unable to move under that big hand.

"boom!"

A sharp rap landed on the witch's forehead, loosening the restraints on her body, but at the same time, it made her clutch her forehead in pain, her eyes brimming with tears.

However, the bottle in her hand was taken away.

The witch glanced at it cautiously and whispered, "You're really planning to drink it?"

"You're overthinking it, I'm just soaking my feet!"

"Actually, you could take a bath. There's still plenty of water in there. I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would ignite the divine fire, so I quickly got out," the witch suggested.

"Shall we soak together?" Bai Ye glanced sideways and offered a suggestion.

"Okay."

Although she verbally agreed and even her eyebrows exuded a charming allure, she didn't dare to get any closer.

Knowing what kind of person her senior sister was, Bai Ye stopped there and turned to look down. The place of reincarnation had disappeared, leaving only a large circular pit that stretched for thousands of miles.

The true cycle of reincarnation is not as large as imagined; its vastness is actually due to the presence of spatial laws.

Bai Ye reached out, and the three plates fell into his palm on their own. He then absorbed them into his body and placed them in the hazy sea.

"Should we go back now? We've been gone for a year and a half. Come to think of it, we're not far from turning sixteen..." the witch murmured, her gaze fixed on the direction of Jietian Prefecture.

Although they are the same age, Bai Ye is two months older than the witch and a little over a month older than Yue Chan, so the three of them are about the same age.

The witch is currently nearly five months away from turning sixteen, but her strength has already reached the peak of the Venerable Realm, and her speed is quite good.

"In a while, I'll get an ancient map. The Reincarnation Disc can protect our safety. Maybe we can go and look for it."

"An ancient map? Let me see..." The witch's interest was instantly piqued.

……

……

The Intercepting Heaven Sect, the Soul Palace.

This is an ancient palace located in a forbidden area. Few people usually come here. Even the disciples inside are mostly cleaners or responsible for guarding some important soul lamps so that they can report to their superiors at any time.
