Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Amidst the attention of many, Xi Heng ascended the Fire Purification Platform and stepped into his first place.

A familiar figure was looking over gently to one side—Yin Wanluan stopped gazing into the distance and approached as well.

"What did you ultimately choose?" the other party asked. "So, it really was Qiao Chu Jie?"

"You guessed wrong." Xi Heng shook his head.

"Could they really have chosen that fairy stone for me?"

"Maybe."

Her words were vague, which elicited a soft hum from the other person.

Just as he was about to give the answer, a small portion of the pure fire in front of him suddenly extended out.

The white flames landed on the open ground and quickly coalesced into a human shape.

A burst of flame-colored light flashed, and the human figure became clearer. A thick cane supported him on the ground, allowing him to stand up from his half-bent position.

Amidst the white flames, a thick, red and white robe gradually appeared, plummeting to the ground, followed by a wrinkled, weathered face.

Unlike other intermediate monks who had long beards, this man had carefully shaved his beard clean and meticulously tied his white hair into a neat square bun.

Xi Heng had never seen this person before...

He should be the true leader of the Pure Fire Sect.

"Congratulations to the victors..."

He paid no attention to the vice-leader and the saintess beside him, but faced the three victors of the Alliance Conference, and spoke in a formulaic manner:

"The fire of purity will bestow blessings upon you."

Without waiting for any response, the leader of the Pure Fire Cult turned around smoothly to face Pure Fire, as if it were a pre-recorded holographic image, and approached with respect.

Reaching out from the ever-burning pure fire, he took out three tiny white flames, each about the size of a thumb.

The wrinkled arm pushed backward, and white flames floated several meters through the air before landing in front of the three recipients.

This method of bestowing blessings reminded Xi Heng of the bit of pure fire that the woman in black robes gave her when she first arrived at the Fire Hell in her previous life.

While lost in thought, the girl raised her hand and caught the tiny white flame, which landed in her palm.

The white flame had no heat, only a distinct suction sensation, as if it would penetrate the skin upon actual contact.

Xi Heng gathered the flames together with both hands and slowly absorbed them into his body.

A moment later, this seemingly illusory flame flowed through the skin and muscles, into the veins, and finally lingered in the chest and soul.

Her eyes also seemed to gain a bit more brightness.

The flames trembled beside my heart, then slowly faded into silence.

Xi Heng closed her eyes and looked inward at herself. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt a faint tremor in her heart.

This turbulence seems to have an impact on the mind.

She frowned slightly, carefully sensing the pure white flames that had penetrated deep into her body by manipulating the resentful fire.

After a moment, she gradually understood what the fluctuations of the white flames represented.

"This so-called blessing will affect the recipient's spirit and mind, making them steadfastly guard the pure fire." She silently analyzed, "With my resentful fire, I should be able to neutralize it later, so it won't be a problem..."

"But transferring the blessing to Yin Wanluan later might cause some conflicts."

Yin Wanluan's own wish was to extinguish the flames of resentment. If he were to be tainted by such a blessing that affects the mind, causing inner conflict and mental turmoil, it would inevitably cause him great distress.

Perhaps this is related to the fact that the other party later transformed into an extreme form of vengeful demonic fire...

"To suppress its effects, I need to mix my resentment into it as well." Xi Heng planned to try fusing the purifying fire blessing with the resentment later.

"In this way, the resentment mixed in with the blessing may still play a role at a crucial moment in the future."

For example, if Yin Wanluan were to ultimately transform into the vengeful demon fire, he might be able to use it to gain even more power to resist.

The white-haired girl nodded silently and opened her eyes—and saw that the simple ritual of the so-called purification fire blessing had been completed.

The leader, who emerged from the pure fire, offered a few words of encouragement, wishing the three recipients to make contributions to Hell in the future.

As if he had other important matters to attend to, he turned around and his figure immediately merged into a ball of white flame, returning to his original form as pure fire.

After the blessing was completed, the clan alliance conference was declared over and the assembly departed shortly afterward.

Xi Heng returned to Yin Wanluan's side, and upon hearing the word "end," he subconsciously took her wrist.

"What's wrong?" the other person asked gently.

"Let me take you to set off fireworks."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 200, Chapter 193, Stars and Moon Shining Together

By the time the clan alliance competition ended, dusk had fallen.

The western sun shone on the road outside the white stone altar, its dim yellow light reflecting and spreading, as if adding a hazy filter to the world.

In the distance, thin, scorched clouds lay stacked, their colors growing increasingly darker with the passage of time.

At this moment, Xi Heng was leading Yin Wanluan out of the altar and onto the wide road of the city.

The light from the setting sun shone through her white hair and fell on the pale golden strands of the girl in the white robe beside her.

Under the same dim, yellowish light, their hair colors seemed even more similar.

The only difference was their demeanor – the other person always exuded a distinct sense of holiness.

Her pristine white robes swayed slightly with her steady steps, her movements gentle and graceful, her expression radiating a warmth that seemed to encompass everything—truly befitting her position as a Holy Maiden of the Pure Fire Cult.

Judging from the current situation, Yin Wanluan doesn't seem like someone who is currently planning how to extinguish the Pure Fire, and who will become the final boss of the entire Fire Prison cultivators' doomsday.

As Xi Heng was pondering these things, the other person briefly responded to a greeting from an acquaintance on the street and turned around.

"Now, shouldn't you answer me?"

"Huh? What?"

"Regarding the question from the beginning, you just said you would take me to see the fireworks. Did you choose the Celestial Rainbow Stone in the palace?"

"This?" Xi Heng thought for a moment and decided to answer truthfully.

Then, he recounted his conversation with the Foundation Establishment Perfection sword cultivator when he went to the hall after his victory.

"Does the Crimson Fa Envoy wish to take you as his disciple?" Yin Wanluan initially only noticed this point and asked:

"Why not agree to this? As the strongest sword cultivator in the Fire Hell, she is qualified to give some guidance."

Xi Heng believed that the strongest swordsman in this place was none other than herself.

However, realizing that his own Qi Refining level was indeed inferior to his opponent's, he changed his approach and transmitted his voice:

"Now that we've joined the Netherworld Sect and are by your side, there's no need for us to have any further contact with the higher-ups of the Pure Fire Sect."

"So that's what you were worried about. There's no need for that. Enhancing your strength is beneficial to us—"

The other person was interrupted before they could finish speaking:

"More importantly, I don't want to have another mentor or anything like that."

Xi Heng then changed the subject, continuing to talk about how he entered the hall where treasures were stored to retrieve the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Leaf, and then was suddenly given a Celestial Rainbow Stone.

After listening, Yin Wanluan speculated: "It seems that Envoy Yifei has some goodwill towards you."

"It doesn't matter." Xi Heng waved his hand.

It doesn't matter how much favor she gets from other NPCs; all she needs to do right now is stay quietly by the rich woman's side to achieve her goal in this life.

Since you've already decided to live off a woman, then live off her as much as you want.

"Anyway, let's go back to the courtyard and try out the effects of this Immortal Rainbow Stone. I wonder if the fireworks produced by it will be as beautiful as the rumors say." Xi Heng was a little curious.

"Okay."

Yin Wanluan glanced at the increasingly dim sky, tapped her cheek, and pondered:

"However, your little courtyard might be too cramped for sightseeing. How about we go somewhere else?"

The white-haired girl agreed without hesitation.

Because of today's victory, she received a prize, and Yin Wanluan will also give her further rewards later...

Therefore, as long as nothing major happens in the Fire Hell, she can achieve Foundation Establishment simply by cultivating steadily and gradually.

Everything went smoothly and I was in a good mood, so I readily agreed.

“I know there is a high place in Hellfire where the scenery is less disturbed by the illusions of the barrier, making it perfect for viewing the heavens.”

"Uh-huh."

"Furthermore, I have a pavilion on that peak where I can rest. It is equipped with a partition array, so no matter how much disturbance you or I make inside, it will not reach the outside world."

How come this person owns properties in every part of Hellfire...?

Xi Heng had almost gotten used to the Saintess's wealth and simply nodded.

Then, she was led around to the outer city.

……

Soon after, with a surge of boundless spiritual energy, the two girls reappeared.

The location has changed from the previous white stone street to the top of a pale stone hill.

The mountaintop is bare, with little soil or dust, and hardly any tall trees, making it appear simple and barren.

However, in the distance to the side, there are several white stone pavilions. Their architectural style is not like that of Jinghuobendu, which uses a combination of white stone and golden glazed tiles. Instead, they are simply and purely gray and white.

As the sun set and night began to fall, the sky grew even darker.

As your gaze sweeps past the white stone buildings, a large, full moon becomes increasingly clear.

As night falls, the stars humbly flatter the faint moonlight.

“This bare hill is the highest point in the entire Hellfire,” Yin Wanluan said, leading her up the hill.

Xi Heng thought this place was very ordinary.

Subconsciously, she always felt that there should be some majestic and awe-inspiring scenery at the top of the world.

Even if this highest point in the cultivation world lacks the grandeur of immortals, it should still be surrounded by the atmosphere of a cultivation land—for example, shimmering light, dense clouds, and bamboo forests, vaguely resembling a divine realm, etc.

This place looks like a quarry ruin that has been over-exploited, stripped bare of its outer layer, with exposed rocks.

On the ruins, a few simple buildings were barely constructed with white stones, and I didn't even want to look at them for long.

She couldn't help but think:

"Most cultivators in the Fire Hell have never seen the wonders of the outside world, have they?"

After all, most cultivators cannot reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and they do not have expensive spirit-locking talismans available. Once they leave this spirit-locking array, their spiritual energy will flow away uncontrollably.

"Does it count?" the other person replied.

"The illusions created on the surface of the Spirit Locking Array change every so often, and the scenery depicted is mostly beautiful scenery from outside the realm, but it is rather blurry."

"In that case, it's probably difficult to comprehend the vastness of heaven and earth." She shook her head and said, "Cultivators are like prisoners who have been confined."

“That’s not bad.” Yin Wanluan pondered, blending into the casual conversation: “However, even if one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage and can leave the realm, true freedom is hard to come by.”

"Why?"

"Those who have gazed upon heaven and earth know that there are heavens beyond heavens, and understand that there is an outside world beyond this realm. Anyone would want to go and see even further beyond..." She gazed at the moonlight and spoke softly:

"But the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been extinguished, the cultivation realms of cultivators have been sealed, and the coordinates of the outer realms are disordered and unclear. Now, who or what can cross the void beyond the boundary and travel to another place?"

Xi Heng gently touched her cheek, and it seemed she could...

Yin Wanluan noticed her small movement and said with a slight smile, "It is precisely because you are such a special person that I have paid so much attention to you, to this day."

During their conversation, the two had walked across the uneven rocks and arrived at a white stone tower-shaped building.

The blonde girl flicked her fingers, scattering spiritual light from her fingertips, like countless tiny fireflies illuminating the surrounding scenery.

A spiral stone staircase, stained with some dust, came into view.

As the light passed by, the dust was pushed away, and the entire building became clean.

They walked up the steps together and reached the top.
