Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

As a result, she will be able to clear away her resentment faster and faster.

Efficiency gradually improves, and eventually the enormous quantity can be completely eliminated.

"But for now, let's focus on what's in front of us."

She casually uttered the word "continue," first identifying among the many resentments the part affected by her previous vow.

This part is the easiest to eliminate, making it perfect for grinding experience.

Start with the simpler types of resentment, and then gradually tackle the more difficult situations of resentment.

If you encounter stubborn or unusual resentment, deal with it directly with sword heart.

The blessing also enhanced the sword heart's ability to wear it down; all it needs is enough time.

Xi Heng conjured up a scene of resentment, and the spirit reached out to touch it as before, its consciousness falling into it.

……

As she gradually dispelled resentment and hatred in her spiritual world, time slowly passed.

Xi Heng was, after all, still a dragon, and dragons instinctively disregard the passage of time... This instinct had also seeped into her mind.

She gradually became indifferent to time and lost the sense of urgency.

Xi Heng also realized this, but thought to himself that true immortals probably naturally have this mindset.

For now, I can get used to it first.

So I ignored it.

And during this period,

Several years have passed in the outside world.

Legend has it that the Emperor transformed into a true dragon and appeared in the world, devouring the demons and monsters that brought about the cataclysm, and turning into a stone statue to eternally protect the Heavenly Zhao...

Emperors may leave the mortal realm, but ordinary people still need to live in the world.

The imperial city was more than half destroyed in the battle between the two sides, so the court moved to another city closer to the capital and renamed it Xinjing.

The original Kyoto also lost some of its population, but in the following years, it was repopulated by members of the Xuantian Sect who came from all over the country, and became the new headquarters and holy site.

The day the true dragon devours the Asura is designated as the Salvation Festival. Every year at the beginning of winter, many believers of the Xuantian Sect will hold a grand ceremony around the dragon's body, with the participation of all people, offering cattle and sheep as sacrifices to the true dragon.

The many words spoken by emperors before they transformed into dragons, when they sat on the highest throne and led the people, were regarded as the ultimate truth. They were compiled into books by court officials and printed and distributed to the people in large quantities.

During her lifetime, her influence will fade over time.

Now that it has solidified into a stone statue, a great deal of action and fashion has erupted in the mortal world to commemorate the emperor.

Some of the poems she casually recited were compiled into a book, along with her notes on the development of science and technology that she jotted down in the palace, which were also presented to the world after some polishing.

The many ingenious ideas in this notebook amazed the craftsmen of Da Zhao, who immediately gathered talented people in their respective circles to try to replicate the various technologies and machines described in it, and achieved some success.

Two years after the emperor transformed into a dragon to save the emperor from calamity, during the fifteenth year of the Taiheng era.

Various inventions emerged in the Tianzhao Kingdom, with people manufacturing optical instruments such as magnifying glasses and microscopes.

Soon after, the Imperial Academy gathered the inventors together to build an astronomical telescope called the "Cetian Tuan," and subsequently built a simple large instrument to describe the various movements of celestial bodies.

In addition, the merchants and sailors of Tianzhao brought back many rare and exotic items during their ocean voyages, and also introduced sweet potatoes from foreign lands that were suitable for planting in various soil types.

The sea routes continued to expand rapidly, and a world map appeared in the territory of Tianzhao. The shape of the land was vaguely like the internal organs connected and interlocked in the human body.

Folk craftsmen invented the flying shuttle, which greatly improved the efficiency of weaving.

Meanwhile, the official artisans were working diligently to study the technology of 'replacing human labor with steam' found in the books left by the emperor.

However, they encountered a huge obstacle: insufficient processing precision, which will take a long time to overcome.

The twentieth year of the Taiheng era.

Senior Sister Hongmiao brought a pot of cherry wine to the head of the red dragon, which now looked exactly like a stone statue.

He sat down and drank his wine, occasionally spilling it on the ground.

She would also murmur softly from time to time, "When will you wake up?"

Volume 1: Chapter 164, Chapter 157, Spiritual Intercourse

Xi Heng remained in the pure white spiritual space for an unknown period of time.

I felt myself repeatedly falling into the illusions brought about by resentment, only to return to my own inner world.

They've gone back and forth like this countless times.

During this period, the resentment and hatred that filled my mind have noticeably decreased.

Originally, it was layered upon layered and endless, but now, its end can be vaguely seen.

She could roughly sense from her heart that the total amount of resentment had decreased by about one-fifth.

As for how much resentment he had extinguished and how much time he had spent—these numbers are quite difficult to determine.

Because there are no celestial changes or clocks or other instruments to determine the time in this space, the passage of time can only be described by the number of paintings depicting resentment and hatred.

If Xi Heng hadn't been influenced by the Red Dragon's concept of time, he could have roughly calculated how many months and years had passed.

But now, time has basically lost its meaning for her.

Even though several years or even decades have passed in the outside world, in her eyes, it's no different than a few months.

If it weren't for the fact that she would occasionally think of her senior and junior sisters outside, as well as other familiar people... she wouldn't have thought much of it even if she had to stay in this mental space for another fifty years.

"How is everyone doing out there?" Xi Heng asked himself during his free time.

"But exactly how much time has passed?"

"Has the outside world changed a lot...?"

Various guesses surfaced in my mind, but none of them could be answered.

……

Because of the blessing she received from accepting resentment, her efficiency in dissolving resentment has increased considerably.

The speed will likely increase in the future, allowing you to achieve several times the results in the same amount of time.

After a moment of contemplation, Xi Heng gradually cleared his mind of the outside world and returned to the present moment.

"There's no need to overthink it. Just keep doing your job."

After all, he had already used the Heavenly Demon Transformation, and his blood and energy were still being consumed.

Even if the Dragon Balls can continuously offset this consumption, the blood energy will eventually run out.

This time, the end point is clearly visible after loading the save file.

Let's focus on the next time.

The girl approached a hateful painting beside her and reached out to pinch it.

Just as I was about to step inside, I suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from afar.

She stopped what she was doing and turned to look.

Immediately, a layer of resentment and fire enveloped the opposite side of the pure white space, just as before.

A figure slowly walked out, wearing a red veil over a black satin embroidered skirt. The dark gold lines embroidered on the edges of her clothes were particularly eye-catching. Her long, dark red hair fell to the ground along with the overly long skirt, scattering on the dark abyss surface shrouded in resentment.

Deep red flames surrounded her, yet they did nothing to conceal her crystal-clear, fair skin, as if the entire world of resentful fire was dedicated to her.

The mysterious red-haired woman seemed to be just waking up. She paused for half a step, covered her mouth, and yawned softly. Her exquisitely beautiful face clearly showed a hint of drowsiness.

Upon arriving at the transparent barrier of spiritual light, he raised his hand and gently tapped on Xi Heng's face in the center of the pure white space.

"It seems like it's been a long time," the girl muttered to herself as she approached.

Or rather, she hadn't seen any other real people in a long time.

He only talks to the mannequins in his hallucinations when he is in a state of resentment.

Therefore, when Xi Heng saw the other party knocking on the door, he went closer to greet the guest.

When they were close enough, the other person said, "You've been sleeping for a long time... How are you?"

It seems that the two of them are not mortal enemies, but rather a rather special kind of collaborator.

This vengeful ghost neither rejected nor interfered with her practice of bearing resentment.

Logically speaking, resentment is the source of the other party's power, and what she is doing now is basically equivalent to taking away the other party's power—they should have a considerable conflict.

But the other party's attitude was unusually calm.

"It's alright." So Xi Heng didn't show any hostility, and just said, "The big offset one-fifth."

"Hmm? Twenty percent?" The other person was clearly surprised, half of their drowsiness dissipating. "How did you do that?"

"It was achieved as we worked on it," Xi Heng said casually. "Wasn't it easy?"

"..." The red-haired woman was silent for a moment, and finally managed to squeeze out only one sentence: "Perhaps you are more suited to be a vengeful ghost than I am."

"I don't want to do this kind of thing."

"In just seven years, twenty percent of the resentment has been eliminated." She sighed softly, "I really don't know what I've been doing for the past few hundred years."

Xi Heng didn't quite understand, but he paid attention to the time the other person mentioned.

Seven years?

It took longer than she had imagined.

However, the other party ignored him and simply stated:

“If Mi Jie had half your speed and patience back then… she wouldn’t have lost herself while bearing resentment and hatred, and I wouldn’t be the way I am today.”

The vengeful ghost identifies herself by her name, seemingly indicating that she is no longer the same person as the former Mi Jie.

"Seven years have passed already..." Xi Heng was still only concerned with these two words.

"Hmm." The red-haired woman said, "Seven years have passed, and half of the life force in this dragon body has been lost. You cannot bear so much resentment before you die. In any case, the result will be the same."

Xi Heng said, "I'll do my best, and that might be enough."

Furthermore, the dragon's body can consume the earth's nutrients or devour itself like a snake with its tail, allowing it to prolong its life for a little longer.

"Is that enough?" The enemy's expression remained unchanged: "That's fine then. It's not bad for you to take over these resentments and obsessions."

Xi Heng couldn't understand why this person was so indifferent, and mentioned:

"I'm really going to eat you up."

If this were a human, it would be tantamount to watching helplessly as they are worn down to death by outsiders.

How could they not even have the will to resist?

"Then eat it." The other party smiled helplessly: "In the past seven years, I have been able to relax and rest for a long time without having to bear the heavy burden of resentment. I have long since come to terms with it."

“My essence is nothing but resentment. I have no self to speak of. Only after you bear my resentment have I regained some of my own consciousness and humanity... If I return, this sense of proportion will perish again, and I will revert to a monster led by endless resentment rather than myself.”

"Human nature is like a deadly poison; once you gain something, you never want to let it go. Since you're willing to bear the resentment, I'm happy to let it go too." The other person mentioned, "More importantly... didn't you swear an oath for me?"

"Swear an oath?" Xi Heng tilted his head slightly. "Did you hear that?"

“The countless resentments surrounding you are part of me. You’ve been with me every moment for the past seven years, so how could you not hear them?” the other person retorted.

"Is this so..."

"But do you really think you can achieve such a vow?" The other party smiled bitterly, "It's easy to say the words 'become an immortal,' but do you know how difficult it truly is?"

"It shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Xi Heng thought to himself, thinking about his ability to save and load.

She has used this to achieve a feat that no one in the world has ever accomplished before.

After embarking on the path to immortality, one should be able to ascend to heaven and become an immortal simply by following in the footsteps of those who came before.

Although it will definitely take a lot of effort, she believes that it should be achievable in the end—at least that's what she thinks.

"It's difficult." But the red-haired woman in front of him shook her head:

"Even in the ancient golden age when the Heavenly Dao was intact and the spiritual energy was not depleted, only a handful of mortal cultivators could become immortals... Even those who were born with a destiny and were granted permission by the heavenly spirits to attain immortality still mostly perished midway through their cultivation."

"Like us, mere mortals on the edge of the realm, living in an era of spiritual collapse, no matter how outstanding our talents or how high our fortunes, we can't get past a few stages."

The other party seemed to be quite interested in recounting this matter, and kept talking: "Just like when I was among the cultivators of Chonghai, I was considered to be exceptionally talented. There were very few people in the entire realm who could be equal to me, but so what... At most, I could only reach the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm and could not advance further."
