Perfect Double Agent

"Okay." Bai Ye flashed away from the cauldron, giving Qingyi her own space. In that instant, he really felt that Qingyi had become Yuechan.

Qingyi, on the other hand, shrank into the cauldron and remained silent for a long time. She cursed Yuechan a thousand times in her heart. Even now, vivid images that made her blush with embarrassment still flooded her mind like a tide, leaving her in a state of utter confusion and completely at a loss.

She couldn't even distinguish whether those unforgettable, deeply etched memories belonged to her body or actually happened to her.

At this moment, after carefully observing the area and confirming that there was no danger, Bai Ye headed towards the small lake.

This place is where the profound mysteries of the void converge, like a cradle of life. A large piece of void immortal gold can be clearly seen inside, resembling a platform rather than a human figure.

This is undoubtedly a supreme treasure land, containing natural divine treasures. Not only the liquid and immortal gold inside, but this small lake itself is a womb, which will have a great effect on him. Perhaps he can use it to enter the late stage of the Void Dao.

Bai Ye glanced at Qing Yi, who had not yet shown herself, and said, "Focus on comprehending the Myriad Dao Tree and interacting with it. When I emerge from seclusion, I will help you undergo another transformation and accumulate your own strength."

Qingyi didn't speak. After a long while, she poked her head out of the cauldron and cautiously examined it.

The world remained the same, but at its center, the vast and ancient expanse of space-time rumbled, like a galaxy descending from the heavens. It was magnificent, as if it came from another realm, breathtakingly beautiful.

Even from outside the island, countless void forces were drawn over, materializing in that area and enveloping a small humanoid sapling.

It was faintly visible that three thick streams of immortal energy were floating around the sapling, and three flowers of the Great Dao were blooming. One of them had a young man sitting cross-legged, while the other two were in the form of Great Dao fruits.

"What kind of seed did he fuse with... the World Tree?" Qingyi didn't know, at least the main body had never asked the other party.

No, there's another one outside the other's body. That one isn't manifested; it's very blurry, almost invisible, as if it jumped out of the body, breaking free from the constraints of time and space. It's extremely strange.

"Pervert!" Qingyi muttered under her breath and began her own seclusion.

……

Time passed by, and three months went by in the blink of an eye.

On this island, the heavens and earth still roared, and the great waterfall never dissipated; instead, it grew increasingly dense, even enveloping a bone cauldron.

A figure sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron, with a towering tree behind her. Three months was nothing to her; on the contrary, the sapling in the distance was growing miraculously. Every branch had dense veins, like transparent blood vessels or the river of time, flowing with astonishing power of time.

Even the Dao Fruits at the tips of the two immortal auras on its canopy were slowly opening like flowers of reincarnation, seemingly about to fully bloom, with astonishing power surging within them.

"boom!"

It was a huge, transparent flame, without high temperature or oppressive aura, like a primordial rune, which disappeared into it.

At this moment, the entire world trembled violently, and the energy of the vast space-time seemed to reverberate through the ages, flowing towards the future.

It was faintly visible that the entire world had become transparent, with dense patterns like spatial veins, making the island and the countless smaller worlds below appear as spheres. It was truly amazing.

Qingyi stared blankly at the vast ancient immortal realm below, at the ancient worlds, at the living beings, and even saw a boy burning himself in the primordial land. She also saw her familiar face, Lan Yichen, and at the primeval mountain ranges.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if she had suddenly gained a pair of eyes that could see through all obstacles. The so-called barriers of distance and space vanished before her eyes, making her feel as if she had become the master of space, looking down on the world with her eyes, with nothing able to hide from her.

"This guy... has this always been how he sees the world...?"

Qingyi rubbed her eyes and found that the scene from just now had faded away. Instead, with the blooming of the Great Dao Fruit, the world was filled with an ancient and unchanging aura.

It emanated from a tiny figure with a transparent flame-shaped rune imprinted between its brows, an emanation that has existed since time immemorial, eternally unyielding, as if all paths had collapsed and all worlds had been destroyed, yet it remained steadfast throughout.

It is an indescribable and inexplicable power, like something eternal.

She had consumed Feifeng and experienced its effects of eternal youth and ageless beauty, with a secret power acting on her face. However, that secret power was too low-level and insufficient in quantity, making it completely incomparable to the other party's.

"What kind of abilities has this guy cultivated? These are absolutely every woman's dream!"

But at that moment, the sapling also transformed into human form, or rather, it was originally human form, but the evolution of the Dao made it look like a sapling.

"Slacking off is not an option. Reincarnate! Complete the Divine Flame Leap with a gamble of life and death. In reincarnation, you can silently recite my name, and I will protect a wisp of your true spirit so that it will never perish!"

The figure slowly rose, carrying with him an immeasurable and terrifying aura of vast space and time. At the same time, he made one hand seal after another, accompanied by gusts of cold wind and inexplicable scripture summoning, as if he really wanted to open the forbidden gate of reincarnation and send her to her next life.

"I don't want to mutter your name... Your reincarnation is incomplete, don't even think about using me for experiments!" Qingyi was quick-witted and tried to run away.

But how could she, a mere divine fire, be a match for the Void Dao? She was captured in an instant.

"This is the basic version, and the process may be a bit long. If you seriously comprehend the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, I look forward to you cultivating your first strand of immortal energy."

"What if it can't be fixed?" Qingyi asked back, like a stubborn little girl.

"If you can't fix it, then just be a good wife and mother. I think you're quite good at taking care of people."

"Who wants to have your child? I can definitely do it... Pfft, I can definitely cultivate it!"

Bai Ye simply smiled, his hands constantly forming hand seals as he carefully constructed the method. No method can be mastered in one go; it requires continuous refinement.

Chapter 349 Resurrection from Desolation

The term "low-spec" doesn't necessarily mean it's actually low-spec.

The Immortal Academy has many ancient methods, mainly used to stimulate the potential of the physical body. In conjunction with the extinction of reincarnation and the rotation of the four seasons, a cycle of life and death is formed. One cycle of birth leads to death, and so on, over and over again. The process is extremely inhumane and excruciatingly painful, but it is enough for Qingyi at this stage.

"Bear with it. Once you're out, I'll take you to Youxian Ancient Town."

Hearing those gentle words, most people would be moved to tears, but Qingyi had a dark expression on her face. "You're just testing me. If I ever soar to the heavens, I'll definitely suppress you a hundred times over!"

But then, a giant hand directly suppressed her into the black hole.

Clearly, she had the will, but lacked the power.

This is a world of four colors. Around it, there are primordial runes one after another, each exuding an aura like primordial matter. A glance at them is like looking at countless stars in the sky.

However, it is also a great melting pot, as if it is going to rotate through all the heavens and myriad worlds, refining endless space for its own use.

In an instant, swathes of runes flew out on their own, transforming into sword feathers that pierced her body in a flash, causing her to bleed from head to toe.

"Keep your mind focused, and don't use the Heaven-Mending Technique until the very last moment. Use your True Phoenix Technique!"

Qingyi did as instructed. Although the pain was unbearable, she remained silent as her entire body was gradually enveloped by a true phoenix.

The runes continued to move, endlessly regenerating, each angle extremely tricky and merciless, even riddling the condensed True Phoenix with holes.

However, she also clearly felt a faint but distinct power surging within her bones and flesh. As some impurities were expelled, she became more transparent, as if an invisible shackle had been broken, releasing the potential within her body.

Bai Ye sat cross-legged in the small lake, carefully observing the black hole in front of him. He waved his hand from time to time, looking at the riddled figure inside. Flames were burning, and the power of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique was manifesting, making Qing Yi feel as if she was about to turn into an egg, as if she was about to be reborn from the ashes.

The power of reincarnation began to move, transforming into boundless flames that activated the furnace, burning all the living beings within. However, it was not real fire, but rather a manifestation of the power of reincarnation.

In an instant, Qingyi's entire body began to disintegrate, her flesh and blood turning into a rain of light, as if she had been decomposed, leaving only her skeleton and the fire of her soul.

This was the beginning of death, and Qingyi was struggling with it. She always felt conflicted. Sometimes she would choose to accept it calmly, wait for death to come, and fulfill her destiny.

Sometimes, she felt a deep attachment to this world, not because she feared death, but because she felt there were things she hadn't finished. What were they? Or what was she clinging to? She herself wasn't sure. Was it a feeling, a simple desire to witness a method to complete her primordial spirit? Or was it something else...?

This is an obsession, the only motivation to live, and it's like a constant struggle in a sea of ​​suffering.

When facing death, everyone has different obsessions. Qingyi wanted to live, so she unleashed her survival instincts and used all her magic to try and be resurrected.

But her skeleton also began to burn, along with her flesh which had turned into a rain of light. They were all burned to ashes, piling up on her own soul fire, like a silent funeral.

Gradually, her consciousness began to blur, and she felt that everything about her was extinguished. She wanted to look up, to see through the outside world, to see that person. She wanted to know if the other person was laughing at her, or if the other person simply regarded her as a person, or if she was just a substitute for the main body.

Unfortunately, everything was buried—her physical body, her primordial spirit, her consciousness… In the end, at the moment of her dissipation, she suddenly felt a faint warm current appear, like a speck of dust emitting a glowing light, like the last bit of life within her.

But it's also like grass burned by wildfire, leaving behind the roots of life.

What is reincarnation? Everyone has a different understanding of it. Some people believe that it is the supreme law of the creation of heaven and earth, and that there exists a place in the world where all dead beings can be reborn and reincarnated continuously.

But does reincarnation really exist? No one has ever seen it.

The so-called cycle is the alternation of the sun and moon, the decay and revival of heaven and earth, the withering of autumn grass and the rebirth of spring grass, and at the same time, the collapse of the old order and the alternation of the new order.

Everything in the world is in a cycle of reincarnation, but this cycle of reincarnation is the invisible passage of time, like a cycle driven by time.

The same plant blooms and fades, and blooms again, but the flower is no longer the same as yesterday's. No matter how similar the appearance or the fragrance, it is no longer the same flower as before.

This is the passage of time, the flow of years; everything can change, but the years flow on forever.

Time passed slowly, the sun rose and set, the cycle repeated itself, and the entire black hole was deathly silent. In that pile of ashes, a tiny spark of life was growing stronger. It was like a small flame, tenacious and unyielding, flickering with the original flame of life belonging to the human body, radiating the will to survive, and constantly growing stronger.

At the same time, phoenix patterns were unfolding within the flames, changing every day. Although the process was slow, it was truly happening.

"You did it yourself?" Bai Ye asked in surprise.

The bright patterns provide internal support, while on the outside, the pile of ash, like an eggshell, still envelops that burgeoning vitality.

"Resurrection from annihilation..." Bai Ye observed carefully. He had discovered the life imprint of the human body. Combined with the Undying Flame of Time and Space and the Undying Scripture, the three formed a power of revival.

Qingyi's rebirth from the ashes was purely due to her obsession with survival, combined with the True Phoenix Technique.

For her, this was an ultimate transformation with countless benefits.

Several more days passed, and it was clearly visible that the ash eggshell was cracking. Inside, there was a figure, completely naked, yet she was manipulating the myriad fires between her brows, constantly forming hand seals. A phantom of a fiery phoenix enveloped her, radiating a boundless power of life.

However, what puzzled Bai Ye was that Qingyi was actually using the Myriad Paths Fire to mobilize the power of reincarnation and construct an order.

"One cycle destroys the physical body... two cycles destroy the primordial spirit, three cycles lead to annihilation! Now you shall be reincarnated!"

A fair, delicate hand reached out, filled with anger and stubbornness, as if it were sulking, and struck a shimmering light and shadow in front of her.

Clearly visible, light and shadow were affected, the physical body was turning into rain of light, then the skeleton and the primordial spirit were dissolving, and finally everything was annihilated.

"Uh..." Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at that aloof and otherworldly snow-white face. Qingyi's comprehension must be quite good. If she can become an immortal in the future, how bad can her talent be? The main thing is that this is his creation. He slowed down the process. After personally experiencing it, Qingyi comprehended some things and, with the blessing of the Myriad Dao Fire, achieved a prototype.

But the next moment, a hand reached in from the outside and covered her face. "Since you have this comprehension, then continue. How much you can understand depends entirely on your destiny!"

This instantly brought Qingyi, who had just shown a hint of aloofness, back to her original self.

Chapter 350 The Tree of Time

Some say that the path of cultivation is not measured in years; a cultivator's sleep is equivalent to a mortal's entire lifespan.

The silver island remains unchanged. At its center, a figure sits cross-legged, enveloped by the vast expanse of time and space, ignited by one small world after another, and surrounded by countless time runes.

Six months have passed. By all accounts, they have been in the Immortal Ancient City for almost a year. Even the third Dao Fruit on the head of that Daoist figure has opened, and an old man is sitting cross-legged on it.

The three states of childhood, youth, and old age symbolize the past, present, and future. In addition, there is a small figure that remains constant, detached and independent, as if sitting in an unknown space-time, or as if detached from this world, looking down on the past, present, and future, transcending everything.

However, there seems to be a connection between the four of them, as if they all share a common origin.

"This guy... can he really improve so fast at this level..." Qingyi looked at the blurry figure that was constantly reversing time and carving the two ancient patterns of "Endless" in the air, and felt dazed.

The power of time was so intense that a sudden surge of emotion made her feel as if she could cross the river of time and travel to that unknown future.

In the blink of an eye, she felt as if she had experienced endless time. When she came to her senses, she felt herself aging, her condition declining. In the end, she became nothingness and returned to the world.

This is the law of time, containing the laws of death and the law of emptiness; it is the superposition of three great forces, which have not yet been integrated.

"If he hadn't been constantly comprehending and creating new techniques, perhaps he would have already become a powerful expert at the Self-Severing Realm..."
