Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

This overwhelming power caused a large number of ordinary people to kneel down in worship.

"..."

Ordinary people in this world seem to have great respect for so-called immortal techniques.

However, simply releasing a fireball was enough to attract mortals to worship.

Back then, when she used the Blood Sea Overturning Heaven technique in Yanmeng Kingdom, she didn't have such an effect.

At most, it will only cause panic and confusion. Afterward, the sea of ​​blood will be transformed into the image of immortals and gods in people's minds, which will then elicit a few cries of people kneeling and begging for mercy.

Within this Pure Fire Realm, merely igniting a few flames was enough to earn the worship of the entire military—even the enemy forces.

She glanced at the army formation below, then at the distant wildfires, and finally her gaze returned to the palm of her hand.

"Shouldn't I have used fire magic?" Xi Heng murmured to himself.

Although I knew that mortals in this world revered flames, I never imagined that even if it wasn't pure white flames, but just an ordinary ball of crimson fire, it could produce such an effect.

Perhaps using other techniques would not have produced such an effect.

"In short, now..." The girl looked at the worshipping mortals and gave the order: "Confiscate their weapons and armor, and then take them prisoner or release them as they see fit."

In her view, the current rebel army is not yet capable of absorbing these Dasheng soldiers.

Expansion can only begin once the anti-military forces have established their beliefs, created their doctrines, and developed to a sufficiently stable stage.

This will take a long time.

Xi Heng believes that there is no need to take too big a step, and there is no need to forcefully do anything to the enemy at present.

The leader of the mortal rebels below immediately responded, "Your Excellency, Holy Envoy."

Subsequently, the entire battle ended with a spell cast by her, and the rebel army led dozens of prisoners back to their camp.

When Xi Heng arrived at the camp, he selected a dozen soldiers from the rebel army who had performed well in the previous battle. After the leader finished his chores, he led them back to the main house to wait.

He continued to wear a black robe, concealing his face, and went to the prisoner camp to ask the captured soldiers why they threw down their weapons upon seeing the fireball.

They learned that before their arrival, they had received orders from the true general of the Great Sheng Kingdom that there might be immortals among the rebels in this area, and that if they encountered immortals, they should immediately withdraw or surrender, allowing the Pure Fire Sect to handle the situation.

"I see." Xi Heng nodded.

In the ensuing conversation, she realized that the Great Sheng Kingdom did not seem to have as much respect for the Pure Fire Cult as she had imagined.

At the very least, they were unwilling to risk their lives for the Pure Fire Sect, nor were they willing to participate in the conflict between cultivator factions.

"This might be a breakthrough." The girl pondered what to do next, casually told the guards to treat the prisoners well, and then went to the main house according to her previous idea.

My footsteps tread on the fine frost and snow as I arrive at the room where the meeting was held. I push open the door and step inside, where the soldiers who had been summoned, along with the rebel leaders and officers, are already waiting.

After they finished speaking politely, Xi Heng casually reached out and grabbed at the air, magically producing a book.

He continued, "Your performance during the war was good, and you were quite brave in killing the enemy, but your high-end combat strength is still inferior to that of the Dasheng Army."

"This is the Hunyuan Gong, a martial arts technique from my realm. It is several times more profound than the martial arts in this realm that can cause many hidden injuries. Moreover, it can accommodate any martial arts technique for cultivation. From now on, you will practice this technique." After she finished speaking, she casually tossed this extremely precious martial arts technique in the mortal world to the group in front of her.

The soldiers held it in their hands, their eyes gleaming. In their eyes, this was a martial art bestowed by an immortal. Even if it wasn't an immortal technique, the word "immortal" made it all the more special.

"Those who have mastered this technique must spread it throughout the army until all those with martial arts talent are included. This task will be undertaken by the military commander." After issuing the simple order, Xi Heng looked at the rebel leader dressed in thick black half-armor and asked, "What is your name?"

"I am Xie Jun," the other party said respectfully.

This is a fairly common name. In the Pure Fire Realm, people often change or add the fire radical to the name they have in mind when choosing a name.

After noting it down, Xi Heng said calmly, "Although your rebel army is fighting in the more familiar and experienced mountain forests, it is quite good that you were able to hold your own against the enemy's vanguard with a similar number of people for a short period of time."

She then casually pulled out the "Three Strategies of Dunjia" that she had kept in her inventory after killing Fang Tiande in Da Zhao, and handed it to him.

"This military document belonged to a former rebel leader who had made a name for himself, and I'm entrusting it to you."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The other party accepted it earnestly.

“Afterwards, write an organizational manifesto and circulate it in the army.” Xi Heng continued, “Today, I will select a few former members of the Pure Fire Cult who have some prestige and priestly qualities to meet with me. Since your goal is to overthrow the Pure Fire Cult, you also need to spread a belief and faith—even if this belief is not about gods and immortals.”

"Yes." Although the rebel leader didn't quite understand, he still obeyed the order.

"Go on, everyone, and attend to your own business." She waved her hand, and the group respectfully left.

Xi Heng climbed the steps in the spacious hall and sat down again in the fairly comfortable main seat.

Silently, she recalled her time in the palace.

He habitually raised his hand to the side, but no maidservant was holding grapes.

"Tsk." Xi Heng waved his hand and settled into a more comfortable position in the main seat to wait quietly.

A moment later, three mortals dressed in black robes, with upright appearances and demeanor resembling cult messengers, arrived.

After watching them kneel and bow, the girl asked:

"Are you the ones who have been recognized as heretics and expelled from the Pure Fire Sect?"

The people below nodded, confirming their answer was yes.

So Xi Heng took out a black-covered book from his inventory, imbued it with spiritual light, and tossed it away, saying calmly.

"Then let us become true heretics."

The book floated slowly in the air, its cover emblazoned with four flowing golden characters: *The Dark Scripture*.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 218, Fire Spring Reach

The black-bound book, sealed with gold thread, floated in the air for a moment with a magical light, then landed on the main seat in the hall, descending to the several believers below.

The blue-green light trail in the air resembled ink drops in water, slowly spreading and disappearing.

Three believers stepped forward, raised their hands to accept the gift, and habitually said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Mortals in this world seem to have a rather special impression of immortal magic; they become respectful whenever they see magic.

Even though the book that Xi Heng presented at this moment looked more like an evil object than a celestial treasure, it was still the same.

The heretic took the book in his hand and immediately noticed the word "Darkness" written on its cover.

Most people in the Pure Fire Realm revere the flames of light, believing that the origin of all things is light and fire, that everything comes from light and is born from light, and that the final destination of a person after death is to step into the light.

The surface form of the Pure Fire is a symbiosis of light and fire, and it is the incarnation of the immortal sage who controls light in the world—at least in the minds of most mortals in the Pure Fire Realm, the Pure Fire deity is the creator of all things.

Although the three followers below are heretics and rebels, their early education made it difficult for them to transcend this concept.

Even though they were hostile to and even hunted down by the Pure Fire Sect, they only believed that the Pure Fire Sect had misunderstood the will conveyed by the Pure Fire God Immortal Venerable, and that their side was the one in the right.

It was only after being continuously corrupted by the resentment and hatred of mortals in the Pure Fire for a long time that this concept gradually changed.

Yesterday, upon learning that the Purifying Fire actually devoured the true spirits of mortals and transformed them into spiritual energy, he finally decided to extinguish it after a long period of confusion.

Even so, their past as believers in the Pure Fire still made them feel a sense of resistance when they saw the word "darkness."

So he didn't immediately break the gold thread sealing the book, but held it in his hand with reverence.

"Open this book and study it." Only after Xi Heng gave the order did they slowly unseal it by pulling away the golden thread.

As the pages turned, the first thing that caught the eye was a pattern of two intertwined snakes encircling a blood-red sword.

Black blood dripped from the bottom of the blade, forming a slanted cross-shaped pool of blood below.

The two snakes bared their sharp fangs, as if about to bite the sword hilt.

The entire pattern is as black as ink, and the snake shape is exceptionally vivid. The outer edge is covered by a few strands of black gauze, but it cannot hide the ferocious appearance behind it at all.

The believer frowned and continued turning the pages, finding the situation increasingly strange and eerie.

Xi Heng waited quietly for a moment, and then heard several gasps of surprise.

The first part of the Dark Heavenly Book is the story of the Great Dark Heavenly Mother's creation and salvation of the world. The Dark Heavenly Mother gave birth to holy messengers, created humankind, mended the sky, created all living things, and divided all living beings.

On the next few pages, we find information about the Immortal Venerable of Pure Fire.

The so-called pure fire, in this scripture, is only described as an eternal flame that never died when the sky collapsed. It was gathered up when the Dark Goddess repaired the sky and sent by the Goddess to a distant outer realm, from which spirituality was born.

Because he was jealous of the Heavenly Mother's great power, he called himself the Celestial Venerable and ruled over a group of humans.

"This, this..." The believer's fingers trembled as he gripped the scriptures, his heart growing increasingly anxious.

"This is extremely disrespectful..." someone muttered to themselves in a very low voice.

The following pages tell the story of how the Heavenly Mother governed all people after creating them, and then returned to the Dark Heaven to rest, leaving only a few holy messengers to protect the world.

Following Genesis, the text records the development of the Dark Cult in the realm of the Sea, including numerous hymns and texts, various sacrificial rituals, and the existence of holy women and messengers.

Xi Heng sat quietly in the main seat, meditating. After the others had briefly reviewed the contents, he slowly opened his eyes and began to recount the story:

"This teaching differs greatly from common understanding and may be difficult to accept in this world. I have summoned the three of you here because I need you to edit and write a more accessible version of this teaching, which is easier for ordinary people in this world to accept."

"..." The three people below exchanged glances, their eyes filled with complex emotions and a multitude of thoughts.

Clearly, they had no clue what to do at the moment.

Xi Heng wasn't in a hurry; she had several years, more than enough time to slowly build up this anti-military force.

"Take this book. I want to see the results of the first phase within seven days." She simply set a deadline, then waved for the group to leave.

The heretic, in a daze, nodded respectfully, stepped back, and slowly left.

Xi Heng also got up and returned to the pavilion on the east side of the camp to rest.

After she handed over the three matters of martial arts, military law, and doctrine, there was already some progress in martial arts within five days.

A martial artist who had been unable to achieve mastery of the Hunyuan Gong for a long time, after hearing part of the explanation of the Hunyuan Gong and taking the initiative to ask the officer for guidance, seemed to have an epiphany and practiced martial arts in the square all day long. On the third night, he broke through to mastery of the Hunyuan Gong based on its theory.

When you enter a state of internal energy, you won't experience the dantian pain or meridian injury that occurs when practicing other martial arts. Instead, it brings a sense of peace, stability, healing, and recovery to the body.

The foundation laid by practicing martial arts with the Hunyuan Gongfa is even better. This person has only been in the Jin realm for a day, yet he can fight against other martial artists who have been in the Jin realm for a year without being defeated. His physical strength and energy are also a level higher than other martial artists of the same realm.

Other martial artists thus intuitively and clearly realized that the Hunyuan Gongfa had many superior advantages compared to ordinary martial arts.

According to the soldiers, Hunyuan Gong can also accommodate the conversion of all other martial arts techniques.

Furthermore, during the transition to martial arts training, any hidden injuries that may have resulted from martial arts practice will gradually heal from minor to major.

The mere fact that it eliminates the long-term pain associated with martial arts training is enough to make martial artists flock to it.

Not to mention that the benefits and internal strength gained from practicing Hunyuan Gong are far superior to those of other martial arts.

As a result, even some conservative martial artists began to try to switch to this technique.

Throughout the entire rebel army, anyone with even a slight talent for martial arts began practicing Hunyuan Gong under the guidance of officers.

Time slipped away slowly.

Half a month has passed, and the severe cold of deep winter has gradually receded, with the snow on the mountains and forests gradually thinning.

The Dasheng Kingdom's army did not send a large force to attack again, but only sent a few envoys to try to exchange prisoners for a large sum of money.

After this incident, the rebel scouts reported that the Pure Fire Cult had begun to gather 100,000 troops at the border. However, due to the fact that their organization and management were not as perfect as the number of troops, it would take a long time for them to arrive, requiring three to four months.

Xi Heng was unconcerned when he heard the news of the 100,000-strong army.

As someone who had frequently led troops, she knew that deploying soldiers to the border or to other countries required mobilizing a large number of cooks and transporting supplies. These non-combatant members, who were used to build supply lines and supply points, were generally included in the so-called army.

Of the 100,000 troops, only about 20,000 were actually able to go to the battlefield.

If you exaggerate a bit more, ten thousand will be about right.

With the mountain's natural defenses and the rebels' experience in mountain warfare, she could hold the line even without taking action.

The only thing to watch out for is the enemy's high-end combat power, such as whether the Pure Fire Sect, which is already embroiled in war in the Fire Hell, has taken the time to send Foundation Establishment cultivators to the mortal realm to quell the chaos.

“The Fire Hell is much more chaotic than the mortal realm right now, so even if there are any, they probably aren’t any powerful beings.” Xi Heng focused his mind and continued meditating.

During this period, she was not idle every day.

Although one cannot practice spiritual cultivation in the mortal realm, one can still improve one's spirit through meditation.

For example, one can create a mental space using swordsmanship, continuously practice swordsmanship within it, and strive to refine their swordsmanship to reach the next stage, which is unknown.

The swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

The girl in the mental space stepped on the ground, leaned back and flipped over, creating distance between herself and the demon-like enemy in front of her.

The blade rose swiftly, and he stepped forward to strike again.

After several exchanges of sword techniques interspersed with various strategic maneuvers, Xi Heng used his sword to deflect the demon's left arm, then spun forward and plunged it into the heart.

The blade, stained with blood, was drawn out, its movements swirling and splashing blood onto the ground.
