Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"hold head high--!"

"Feels a bit more awake..." Xi Heng yawned. "Does my ear always get a jolt when I come back here?"

Immediately, a shockwave, like the roar of an explosion, rippled out from below the shaft.

Xi Heng ignored him.

The well is a hundred meters long. The giant dragon below has been trapped for hundreds of years. If it could break free, it would have done so long ago. There is no need to worry about it coming out.

She simply chanted incantations and clenched her fingers as before, activating the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique to greatly enhance her body and spirit with the light of her flesh and blood.

After finishing, he turned around and said, "Disperse, all of you."

The elite troops, who had been under constant tension, immediately obeyed the order and separated an area.

The space deep inside this cave is vast enough, like a dragon emerging from the bottom of a well, to fully accommodate the dragon's heart.

Xi Heng silently recited the inventory list and then pushed his hand towards the empty space in front of him.

The next instant, the round, bizarre ball of flesh fell into the melt without warning, leaving a cloud of dust.

Because of its shape, it even moved slightly on the ground.

Xi Heng clapped his hands, ignoring the horrified expressions of the people around him as if they had seen a monster, and used his lightness skill to leap to the wound on Long Xin's head.

He drew his sword and sliced ​​off a piece of bloody flesh from the soft, fleshy interior.

He gripped the piece of meat in his left hand, blinked as he watched the blood gushing out beneath it.

"There's no cup, how are we supposed to drink the blood?"

Looking back at the elite troops behind him, he noticed that most of them carried bamboo tubes with them. Although there were two or three women among them, Xi Heng still felt somewhat resistant.

She only liked to steal her senior's bamboo tube to drink water.

He shook his head and chose the simplest way.

First, he brought the soft flesh to his lips, then directly scooped up a spoonful of dragon heart blood with one hand and brought it to his lips.

When pure dragon heart flesh and blood enter the stomach, although it brings heat just like the polyp, the burning pain is significantly reduced.

Furthermore, the popularity of this drama is not like before, where it spreads explosively once it appears.

Pure dragon heart meat has a milder effect, and the heat spreads more slowly.

And as the dragon blood entered his throat, the heat no longer caused the intense burning pain that had been felt in his body before.

Although, changes in the body will always cause discomfort.

But this time she was no longer trembling all over, and the tearing sensation from the inside out was much weaker. Unlike before, there were no hideous cracks on her skin, but rather finer, bloody wounds.

Xi Heng drank another mouthful of dragon blood, then tore open his sleeve to look at his arm.

A burning sensation flowed to his arm, and at the same time, cracks appeared on the surface of his arm, revealing fine dragon scales, which he gradually stared at.

She gradually confirmed her suspicions from her previous life:

"This scorching heat is the key to transforming into a dragon."

"Where the heat dissipates, fine lines will appear."

"Changes such as scales, dragon horns, and dragon eyes are also caused by the heat breath integrating into the flesh and bones."

With the inspiration and quick thinking brought about by the Heavenly Demon Transformation, Xi Heng quickly understood the origin of the Dragon Image.

"This heat might be what some books call dragon energy—that if a person inhales dragon energy, he will become a dragon."

The reason I hadn’t noticed this before was because the discomfort from consuming the Dragon Heart Polyps was so intense that I couldn’t focus my mind on it.

It was because she witnessed the dragon's form dissipate that she realized the dragon transformation was not permanent.

"If one can manipulate this dragon energy, transforming into a dragon at will or shedding the dragon form, then that should be considered mastering the power of the dragon..."

"But how do we do that?"

Dragon energy is neither transformed into physical strength nor blood and qi; it does not flow in the meridians.

Once it enters the flesh, it expands rapidly, like water droplets entering a sponge.

How can she, as a sponge, prevent water from seeping through?

"Could it be because he's been consuming too much dragon heart meat that he's having trouble controlling his intake..."

Xi Heng had only eaten a fist-sized piece of dragon heart meat, yet he already felt a burning sensation spreading throughout his body, indicating that his dragon transformation was complete.

"Should I eat in small bites and slowly?"

"Alright, I still have some dragon energy gathered in my chest, let's try to make some impact first."

She started trying it step by step:

"First, there's the manipulation of the flesh and blood itself... Most of the flesh and blood have already merged with the dragon energy, so they've become strong. If we can separate the dragon energy that's present within them, we might be able to cancel the dragon transformation."

"Well, internal energy and blood circulation have little effect on dragon energy."

"Kenshin can sense the dragon's aura, but it still has no effect."

"It seems... that only when one's vital energy is exhausted, until the body begins to wither, will the dragon energy be released."

Previously, Xi Heng had personally killed two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators.

However, neither of them quickly removed the dragon's aura after their deaths.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the reason for the dissipation of dragon energy is not death.

It's more like it's 'withered'.

If one dies directly, the dragon energy will not immediately be drawn out of the physical body.

Perhaps it is because the physical body has not experienced the stage of 'withering'.

"It seems that the dragon's energy dislikes a withered physical body."

"If the lifespans of other people who devoured the dragon's heart were not affected and they gradually aged... it should also cause the dragon's energy to leak out."

“Aging, decline, withering…” Xi Heng thought of a possibility: “Could lifespan have some effect on dragon energy?”

Longevity is a special vital energy stored in the Qihai and Mingmen acupoints.

It is a hidden energy that supports the subsequent operation of life, and it is extremely abundant and powerful.

It is almost equivalent to 'human vitality'.

The dragon's energy seems to favor vitality, and it will dissipate as lifespan fades.

So……

Realizing this, Xi Heng leaped off the dragon's heart and returned to the ground.

Sit cross-legged on a flat surface, focus your mind on your lower abdomen (Dantian), and gather energy in your palms.

During meditation, the Qi and blood circulate slowly, first completing several cycles within the meridians.

Immediately, she skillfully activated the 'Deadly Technique'.

With the Qihai and Mingmen acupoints open, the Qi and blood transform into a spoon shape, from which one can glimpse a few strands of longevity.

The Life-Taking Technique can draw life force from vital acupoints and move it to the dantian, gradually absorbing it bit by bit.

This is also the only way that Xi Heng knows to precisely manipulate vital energy—moving while wrapped in blood and qi.

Other techniques, such as Blood Wave Sword Technique, Blood Line Forbidden Technique, and Sword of Destruction, do not involve manipulating vital energy, but rather involve bursting and forcing it.

Based on my experience before my death, lifespan might have some influence on the dragon's energy.

She cannot directly control the dragon's energy, nor can she directly guide her lifespan.

However, she could use her life force to indirectly experiment with the dragon's energy.

This time, the lifespan extracted by the Life-Taking Technique did not stop after arriving at the dantian, but passed through without hesitation and flowed to another meridian.

As the Qi and blood circulate and surge upwards, they gradually move towards the heart and lungs, where most of the dragon Qi gathers.

This was quite easy for Xi Heng; any martial artist who had studied internal energy for a few months could do it.

Gradually, the lifespan came into contact with the scorching dragon energy.

Once the two get close, they suddenly stick together like the two poles of a magnet.

The scorching dragon energy was attracted by the lifespan, and as soon as it approached, the dragon energy multiplied and surrounded it.

One wisp of dragon energy and the lifespan rotated like yin and yang fish, while simultaneously attracting more wisps of dragon energy from the surrounding area.

"It does have some effect." Xi Heng quietly observed the condition inside his body.

Since dragon energy can react with lifespan, everything becomes much easier.

She can use her lifespan to interfere with and manipulate the dragon's energy to a certain extent.

Even a sliver of lifespan has a slight attraction to scattered dragon energy.

So as long as she gathers an extremely large amount of life force and interacts with the dragon's energy, the attraction will increase uncontrollably.

At that time, it might even be able to extract the dragon energy that has already merged with flesh and blood, thus shedding its dragon form.

"continue."

He was multitasking, maintaining the life force that had already gathered in his chest while continuing to use his qi and blood to form a spoon shape, drawing out new life force from the Qihai and Mingmen acupoints.

As her lifespan was gradually stripped away, her already pale complexion appeared even more frail.

If an ordinary person were like this, they would probably wither and die before long.

But it didn't matter to her at all.

Outside, the dragon's head, awakened at the bottom of the well, continues to strike the bottom of the well shaft, like a giant bell, striking once every half minute.

boom--

The tremors and noises did not disturb her mind in the slightest.

Xi Heng was completely focused on maintaining the circulation of Qi and blood throughout his body.

As the lifespan was continuously transported, it was drawn together with the dragon energy in the chest, and the two converged into a ball of energy the size of an index finger.

Seeing that his lifespan and the dragon energy in his chest had reached a balance, Xi Heng did not stop his act of draining his own life force.

He recklessly pulled out streams of life force from the acupoints and continued to replenish them.

As lifespan increases, the balance with the dragon's energy is disrupted.

A strange suction force targeting only the dragon energy was generated, and it began to peel away the dragon energy that had merged with the flesh and blood.

First, the skin on the chest area, which is closest to the longevity mound, loses its support and detaches from the skin surface.

As the life essence accumulated, the exposed scales on the neck gradually fell off spontaneously, and the blood-red lines between the scales also faded away.

Gradually, the dragon energy from the chest to the limbs and bones throughout the body was stripped away, gathering in the chest and interacting with the lifespan, condensing and forming a core.

Feeling the life force and dragon energy in his chest pulling and compressing each other... Xi Heng, who had already shed his dragon form, suddenly felt a sense of divine inspiration—

The Dragon Qi Longevity Pill, which was about to solidify, was suddenly shaken apart by her qi and blood.

Countless wisps of dragon energy rapidly dissipated and drifted away from the body under this tremor.

The life force also dispersed, no longer providing strong suction.

The dragon's energy then returned to the flesh and blood, merging with it, and the dragon's appearance reappeared.

Crimson scales covered his skin, dragon horns suddenly grew back, golden light shone in his pupils and vertical lines appeared, and his flesh and blood became increasingly tough.

Xi Heng chuckled softly, raised his hands, and suddenly clasped them together.

Snapped,

With a crisp sound, many loose life essences were pushed by qi and blood to re-condense in the chest.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon's form peeled away again, the scales receded and the cracks disappeared, and countless dragon energies were drawn back into the white longevity energy ball in its chest.

The crimson gold of the dragon's energy and the pure white of the longevity essence merged into one, and were compressed to the extreme by the surrounding transforming energy and blood.

Gradually, the dragon energy, which was originally derived from the dragon's heart flesh, was transformed back into a physical form under the influence of lifespan.

Furthermore, it was dozens of times smaller than the dragon heart flesh and blood that Xi Heng had previously swallowed, turning into a pill the size of an index finger.

Xi Heng took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, exited the state of cultivating internal energy, and covered his lips with his left hand.

When it was unfolded again, a platinum-colored pill had already landed in the palm of his hand.
