Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

She gradually realized it, but her expression remained calm.

"Why bother searching? Isn't this the real me?" she asked herself.

Each and every event, each and every picture imprinted in her memory, is a work created by her true self together with this world.

Although there are differences in their importance, they are all genuine and not fabricated.

Not a single one went against her heart.

That is the truth.

Xi Heng brushed it aside and returned it to the depths of his heart, and his mind was cleansed.

Close your eyes, and all you see is a quiet and bright scene, as if closing your eyes is no longer darkness, but a bright moon reflected on the calm river.

This sense of clarity gradually blended with the various feelings that welled up in my heart when I was recalling the past.

Ultimately, from the depths of the soul, true heart and spirit are drawn together and directed towards the dantian.

This true essence is what the dantian primordial elixir needs and desires most at this moment.

As this true spirit became clearer, she vaguely realized that this was the thing that the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique used all the blood in its body to amplify.

The true spirit descends to contact the Primordial Elixir, enveloping it and establishing a connection.

The Hunyuan Pill then became a part of the mind, just like a sharp blade enveloped by the sword heart.

This part is more important and more intrinsic than the sword heart.

The pill immediately gained some kind of authority, breaking through all obstacles, and its effects flowed through the limbs and bones, the flesh and bones, and the spirit.

The Hunyuan Pill, which was originally just white, also began to show a 'luster'.

It looked as if a ball made of lime powder had transformed into a shimmering white crystal.

The surface is interplay of light and shadow, subtly forming a full moon shape.

The flow of energy around the full moon accelerates, forming a vortex.

The vortex grew increasingly turbulent, drawing all the body's energy and blood towards the dantian.

The Hunyuan Pill, which had been fed to the patient not long ago, now seemed to have become a bottomless pit, rapidly devouring large amounts of blood and qi.

Originally, every time Xi Heng fed the Primordial Qi, he would spontaneously leave some room for the Qi and blood.

But at this moment, the Hunyuan Pill was clearly unwilling to follow this convention, greedily trying to devour all the qi and blood without leaving a trace.

Xi Heng initially wanted to restore some of his qi and blood, but after a change of heart, he decided to let it devour him at will.

Even if her vital energy and blood are completely depleted, she will only be weak for a period of time at most.

I can't let this little self-preservation habit delay my future promotion.

Qi and blood flow into the dantian, reducing and diminishing their effects.

At the same time, the full moon-shaped Hunyuan Pill was tinged with a faint crimson fluorescence.

In just a few seconds, the Hunyuan Pill was no longer in the shape of a silver full moon, but had changed into a red blood cell that was slightly glowing—like a dim, crimson sunset.

The red ball slowly rotates and is placed securely inside the dantian.

All the Qi and blood in his body, as well as the transformed energy, were absorbed by the red pill in his dantian, finally filling the last piece of 'completeness' for Xi Heng.

Promotion completed.

"This must be considered the 'Embracing the Elixir' stage." Xi Heng relaxed his internal energy, feeling an inexhaustible supply of power within his body.

"Even though all the vital energy and blood in my body have been completely drained, I don't feel tired or weak at all. On the contrary, I feel better than ever before..."

The red elixir in the dantian is still circulating, retaining a certain attraction to qi and blood.

It seems to continuously draw upon vital energy and blood, and if no special restrictions are imposed, it may never see any vital energy and blood available again.

However, it doesn't matter if it's not there, as the power of Hunyuan Qi surpasses that of Qi and Blood Transformation.

After embracing the elixir, it becomes even more connected to one's heart and mind, reaching a level of intimacy and ease of control that surpasses even that of the arms.

Xi Heng gently turned his hand, and a gust of wind immediately swirled in the air—

The candlelight and incense in the room rippled in the breeze, and the silk fabrics swayed.

The girl got up, and the door opened naturally.

The surrounding air, too, followed her command as the primordial energy rippled slightly.

With a significant boost to his lightness skill, he could transform footwork into body movement with just a slight movement when walking on wooden planks.

On the surface, the steps appear light and slow, but in reality, the speed is entirely at will.

If you want to, you can cross 100 meters in just two or three steps.

With light steps, he arrived in the courtyard a few seconds later. With a flick of his finger, another heavy stone was crushed into dust.

Xi Heng raised his hand and lightly grasped a Shangfang sword from his inventory, then slashed it across his opponent's heart.

There was no pain, and no sound.

Even if you push and saw back and forth in your palm like playing a violin, it won't leave a single scratch.

"The Primordial Qi has enveloped my entire body. Although my skin and flesh have not changed significantly, my defensive power is more than ten times stronger than the Body Protection Transformation Qi..." the girl murmured to herself.

With a slight turn of the blade, the tip was thrust towards the palm, but even with considerable force, it could not penetrate the skin.

Only after deliberately relaxing the energy sensation in my palms did a trace of color finally appear.

"The protection provided by the core is far superior to the previous dragon scale defense..."

She nodded slightly, wanting to test her sword energy again, but looking around, she couldn't find a place where she could safely test her sword.

We can only guess for now:

"The Absolute Life is an explosion of primordial energy. The sword energy I draw at will should be equivalent to it, at most the power will be stronger or weaker depending on the amount of force exerted."

Xi Heng put the longsword back into his inventory and then gently pushed it forward with his palm.

The Qi around the palm moved accordingly, and when it was gently pressed down, a palm print several meters wide was immediately shaken out on the ground in the courtyard in front.

The floorboards shattered, the flower branches broke, and the stones were ground into powder.

Amidst the deafening roar, the earthquake trembled.

"The power of the Embracing Elixir can be unleashed in mid-air, easily creating a powerful force, and it is inexhaustible... Compared to the previous Primordial Qi, the power of the Embracing Elixir, with the participation of the True Spirit, will make the Sword Heart even more effective."

As Xi Heng muttered to himself, he freely expanded the domain of his sword heart.

The area that was originally within a radius of fifty meters has now expanded to more than a hundred meters.

Furthermore, her true spirit has also enhanced her sword intent and sword heart. If her sword heart was only at the intermediate level before, it has now reached its peak—her sword heart has the possibility of advancing again.

Even if the body remains still, simply closing the eyes and freely spreading the sword energy causes some branches and leaves of the trees in the courtyard to fall off spontaneously, as if cut off by invisible scissors.

The surface of the strange rocks and sculptures shows faint sword marks, as do the surrounding walls.

Xi Heng nodded slightly, and an old locust tree was neatly cut in half.

Previously, a wooden sword was required, but now, even without anything in hand, one can release sword energy through the air with a mere thought.

She could sense that the True Spirit Embracing the Elixir had also amplified her mind, but she didn't yet know in which aspect it was.

"Now that I've been promoted, shouldn't my save file usage opportunities have increased?" Xi Heng turned his attention to this point.

She clearly remembered that the square text on the save/load screen read: 'Upon advancement in cultivation level, you will receive one save opportunity.'

It's available when you upgrade, not something you have to do after upgrading and returning to the save/load space to get a save opportunity.

"Let's do a quick check, okay?" The girl tapped her cheek and parted her thin lips slightly: "Save."

In an instant, time stopped.

Fallen flowers and leaves seemed to freeze in the sky, and all sound and movement came to an abrupt halt.

A feeling of leaving my body enveloped me, and a neat string of text appeared before me according to my will:

Save opportunities: 1

The text gradually disappeared, and what reappeared was the simple word "Archive".

As she thought of rejection, the two words before her eyes vanished, her consciousness returned to her body, time resumed its course, and the voice returned to her ears.

“Indeed, it already is.” Xi Heng nodded.

"Now, it's time to go and settle scores with that vengeful ghost."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 155 (Chapter 149), Extraterrestrials

Tianzhao Imperial City, the seat of the Imperial City Guard.

Xi Heng stepped into the courtyard, where he was greeted by everyone kneeling in greeting. He then entered the main courtyard and took his seat in the main position.

After drinking tea and waiting quietly for a while, someone quickly presented her with the various intelligence files she wanted.

She picked them up and looked through them one by one, while listening to the explanations from the veterans who had helped her find the Locked Dragon Well.

"The demons and monsters Your Majesty spoke of have indeed been frequently reported over the past year, mostly in coastal areas. I have sent teams to investigate and have been able to find people in the countryside who have encountered these strange occurrences, recording what I have heard and seen with my own eyes..."

During the speech, the veteran presented the book "The Search for the Strange".

Xi Heng nodded in approval, picked it up, and casually flipped through the pages. He saw that the book only had some notes in the first half, and the second half was blank, clearly indicating that it was not yet fully edited.

The first half mainly records folk tales and legends, which are described vividly and may be good as a storybook, but they are somewhat vague as information.

But there's nothing we can do about it; very few people survived the chaos caused by demons and monsters, and it's already quite remarkable that there are any records of it.

Xi Heng read quickly and silently, skimming through ten lines at a glance.

Indeed, as my subordinate said, the demons recorded in the texts mostly appear in coastal areas.

But as she read on, she gradually realized that the demons described in the storybook were not the same as Zhao Qianqiu's vengeful ghost.

"His eyes were like cinnabar, his fingers like hooks, and his teeth protruded from his lips like sharp blades... He was deeply vicious, ate people and flesh, and did not decay after death."

As Xi Heng looked at these descriptions, the more she read, the more she felt that... these were the demons and monsters she had encountered during her time seeking immortality.

Rather than the vengeful ghost with a stable mind and Zhao Qianqiu's body.

"It's a coastal area again, and it's happening frequently again," Xi Heng muttered to himself. "And the fact that demons and ghosts started causing chaos in two places at the same time clearly means it wasn't the work of one person."

Even if it were cannibalism, there should be black mist monsters under the command of the vengeful spirits involved.

However, the black mist is not mentioned in any of the intelligence and stories presented here.

She guessed, "Could it be that with the expansion of ocean voyages, those things that should have been properly stationed on islands at sea have been moved to land?"

How could they possibly swim across such vast oceans?

And what is it that attracts them? Is it because of human flesh and blood, or because they sense the presence of spiritual energy?

"Could it be that a fairy has appeared?" she wondered.

Having made little progress in his search for immortality over the past decade or so, Xi Heng had firmly imprinted this hope in his heart.

As you turn the pages one by one, you finish reading the entire book.

She asked the official beside her, "Is this all the intelligence we have?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, ask the other party to bring a map and mark the time and location of the demons' rampage on it.

These sea monsters all possess indestructible bodies and must not have been dealt with yet.

Fortunately, they are mostly mindless and will stop moving after they have eaten. As long as you don't deliberately provoke them, you will not encounter any threat.

However, allowing them to remain in the country is also a destabilizing factor.

Xi Heng plans to personally travel to various coastal areas plagued by demons to resolve these troubles.

When she first entered the Transformation Realm, she killed several demons at sea. Now her strength has increased dozens of times compared to before, and the spirit stones in her inventory are full. In the years since she ascended to the throne of the Emperor, she has learned many new spells and obtained many spiritual objects and treasures offered by Taoists...

With this level of strength, he could easily deal with the sea monsters, whom he had defeated long ago.

"It's been a long time since I've left the capital," Xi Heng said, also feeling the urge to go out for some leisure.

Although the initial goal was to find the vengeful spirit.

However, the other party had already disappeared in the land of Hailu and Donghuangmei Mountain, and there was almost no information about that person in the world.

For now, it seems we can't find it anymore.
