Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Kenshin continued to improve, and it was unknown when it would undergo a qualitative change.

During the cultivation period, the external anti-government forces had undergone significant changes compared to before.

The practice of Hunyuan Gong spread throughout the military. Even those without martial arts talent would learn some breathing techniques and movements to increase their strength.

The rebels practiced together every morning, studied military law in the afternoon, and during dinner in the evening, the leader would personally come to explain the organization's program, explaining each item of the program as if in a classroom.

As for doctrine and belief, the three believers, drawing on the "Darkness Book," had already drafted a preliminary doctrine.

At the suggestion of heretics, Xi Heng changed the word "darkness" directly to "mysterious"—most mortals in this world, which had long been permeated by the concept of purifying fire, would feel resistance upon seeing the word "darkness."

The legend of the Heavenly Mother creating the world remains unchanged in the scriptures and doctrines, but the part concerning the pure fire has been slightly altered.

The new doctrine states that the pure fire was the first creation of the Goddess at the beginning of creation. The Goddess separated darkness and chaos with fire and light, making the world full of vitality.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Mother eliminated the remaining chaotic demons and averted the cataclysmic disaster, bringing peace and prosperity to the world.

However, after the Heavenly Mother left, the Pure Fire was infected by the hidden resentment of the descendants of the Chaos Demon.

At first, the purifying fire can resist the infection, but as time goes by, the resentment grows stronger, and only the pilgrim's unwavering faith can barely suppress this defilement.

But in these end times, the pure fire has been almost completely corrupted. Now, when pilgrims hold great sacrifices, they can no longer help the pure fire resist hatred. People are devoured by hatred before they can even merge with the pure fire, which only amplifies the power of hatred.

After the offspring of darkness and chaos, 'Vengeance,' obtains the power of the Pure Fire, it will revive darkness and chaos, returning the world to the chaos before the creation of the world by the Heavenly Mother, and even causing the extinction of life and the withering of all things.

At this very moment, the Heavenly Mother sent a holy envoy to establish the Xuan Tian Sect, intending to stop pilgrimages and sacrifices in the mortal world, defeat the now-ignorant Pure Fire Sect, and ultimately defeat the resentful and hateful to save the world.

This new set of doctrines was written and immediately sent to the residence of the Holy Apostles.

Xi Heng gave a positive evaluation of this and appointed the three messengers who jointly constructed this doctrine as the high priests of the Xuantian Sect. They were to spread this doctrine during the military talks held every night and to establish a new church and altar.

After the doctrine was perfected, in just ten days, the Xuan Tian Sect in this world expanded from just a few people to over a hundred.

Based on the methods of evangelism and the experience of building churches described in the latter half of the Dark Book, the doctrine continued to spread and the number of people continued to grow.

Gradually, the new Xuantian Sect sent its members from its base to various villages, towns, and cities in this small country to spread its teachings and establish branch altars.

During their missionary work abroad, the believers often encountered disturbances from followers of the Pure Fire Cult, but because all the major powers knew that there was indeed a deity behind the rebels, none of these incidents caused a major upheaval.

People are waiting for the main force of the Pure Fire Cult to arrive, bringing with them the immortals of the Pure Fire Cult to quell this rebellion.

Therefore, the factions that lacked the ability to resist the immortals did not fully reject the Xuantian Sect, but only offered some resistance, fearing that they might anger the extraordinary immortals and that the rebels might win and retaliate later.

In just two or three months, the Xuantian Sect developed rapidly, and branch altars were set up in villages, towns and cities around the rebel army, or secret meeting places were established.

The spread of the Xuantian Sect's doctrines was unexpectedly rapid, like a legend of immortals. It attracted the attention of both the powerful and ordinary people, and had become a common topic of conversation in the northern region of the Dasheng Kingdom.

Over the past few months, in the mountains where the rebels were stationed, military discipline had become increasingly strict under the training of their leader, Xie Jun, and various military formations had been practiced with some success.

One day, during a rehearsal of the anti-Japanese war, Xi Heng observed that their military strength had improved considerably. If they were to encounter the Dasheng army again, they would be able to defeat them in no time.

Furthermore, with the entire army practicing the Hunyuan Gong, perhaps few mortal armies of equal size can rival them.

With the support of the Xuantian Sect's doctrine of salvation, if the entire military force consists of believers, they can unleash even greater combat power.

Furthermore, the Xuantian Sect has been expanding outwards for a long time, with at least tens of thousands of believers, among whom young and middle-aged men can serve as excellent sources of soldiers.

After the battle rehearsal ended, Xi Heng, who had been observing for a long time, nodded and, under the watchful eyes of the rebel leader and many soldiers, simply said:

"This is enough."

She then asked, "Where is the Pure Fire Cult's military headquarters? How long will it take them to arrive here?"

“Reporting to Your Excellency the Holy Envoy,” the rebel leader said, kneeling on one knee, “The Pure Fire Cult army has crossed the border of the Kingdom of Gou and is now at the southern valley. However, their march is slow. At this rate, even after a whole month, they will only be able to cross the valley and it will take another two months to reach the foot of the mountain.”

“That sounds a bit useless…” Xi Heng shook his head, feeling that the so-called 100,000-strong army of the Pure Fire Sect might not have any real strength at all. He casually said, “Then let’s continue practicing martial arts and training our troops, and wait for them to come slowly.”

"I am willing to lead the vanguard guerrillas to probe!" But the other party seemed unable to contain his long-accumulated fighting spirit and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"No need. If there are cultivators present, you will hardly survive to return." The girl simply retorted, "Just stay here, develop peacefully, and wait."

After hearing the other party's soft reply, she glanced around the military headquarters before leaving the battlefield of this exercise.

Two months later, in the summer.

Deep, dark clouds shrouded the earth, from which the faint rumble of thunder could be heard.

The enemy army that came to punish them was not far from the mountains. Countless triangular flags with fire patterns fluttered among the mountains and forests, adding many bright colors like blooming flowers to the deep green woodland, almost covering the entire mountainside.

Xi Heng sat on a high place in the camp, ignoring the tens of thousands of Jinghuo Sect soldiers below, and only looking up at the high place.

An elderly man with blue hair, dressed in a white robe, stood high in the sky, holding a dark-colored small drum magic weapon in both hands, his feet resting on black clouds.

With a gentle tap of the drumstick on the drumhead, a muffled thunderclap resounded in the sky, and the old man spoke in a long voice.

"What kind of demonic cultivator is causing chaos in the mortal realm? Reveal yourself at once!"

The girl ignored him, merely scanning the man with her divine sense, and muttered, "Late stage of Foundation Establishment... so-so."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 219, Unleashing Thunder and Lightning

The sky was filled with thick, layered black clouds, which, under the blowing of the long wind, rolled slowly like waves of a tsunami and were pushed into the distance by the wind.

But no matter how much they were pushed, the dark clouds in the sky showed no sign of dissipating.

Large amounts of dark clouds covered the entire sky and earth like a stage curtain, casting a gloomy and oppressive filter over the world.

The sweltering heat, coupled with the pre-war tension, felt like being stuffed into a steamer; even standing still, one would be drenched in sweat.

Sweat soaked through the soldiers' rough clothes, adding to the somber atmosphere.

The rebels occupied the mountains only five or six hundred meters below, where numerous Purification Fire Cult soldiers were already scattered throughout the dense forests.

The triangular, reddish-yellow flags, resembling burning flames, fluttered and waved, as if a real wildfire had broken out.

The mountains and forests at the front are already densely populated with countless soldiers.

But from behind the distant hillside, a steady stream of figures carrying various weapons continued to approach.

What started as a unilateral standoff has transformed into a semi-encirclement by one side.

The enemy's forces are still gradually increasing, and it may not be long before they form a ring, putting the mountainous area where the rebels are located in a vulnerable position.

Even if there is only one obvious path on this mountain, it is still inevitable that people with profound martial arts skills will climb around from behind to attack.

Therefore, on the surface, the rebels were already at a significant disadvantage.

However, Xi Heng, the true mastermind behind the rebellion, didn't seem to care much about it.

She sat alone atop the highest watchtower, casually glancing at the armies on both sides before focusing her gaze on the enemy's skies.

Beneath the dark clouds, a blue-haired, white-robed cultivator holding a small drum stood high atop the not-so-thick black clouds.

His white robe billowed wildly, and the small drum in his hand swayed.

The sound of the drumstick striking the drumhead would create a rumbling, muffled thunderclap in the dark clouds above.

Sometimes, the rumbling thunder would appear from the clouds, illuminating the world for a fleeting moment, and sometimes it would remain hidden deep within the dark clouds, with only the sound heard and no thunder seen.

The other party was calling out loudly, begging her to show herself.

The girl sensed the other party's aura and the power of the magical artifact in his palm.

“This small drum should be a spiritual artifact with the ability to summon thunder... but a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn’t be able to directly manipulate large-scale celestial phenomena. He must have just calculated today’s weather and deliberately attacked.”

She silently looked up at the dark sky where muffled thunder continued to rumble.

"Under these celestial phenomena, the opponent should consume less spiritual energy to summon thunder..."

Generally speaking, when cultivators fight outside the Fire Hell, if neither side completely overwhelms the other, then the key to victory or defeat is the amount of spiritual energy.

The side that runs out of spiritual energy first is basically considered to have lost.

The opponent has the advantage of timing and can activate their cultivation techniques or magical artifacts with less spiritual energy... They may be difficult to deal with.

Xi Heng's mind raced with various ideas on how to deal with this person. When the other party provoked him a second time, he calmly stood up.

She stepped forward from the top of the tower, ascending into the sky as if climbing an invisible staircase.

Many eyes turned to her as she appeared. The girl used her divine sense to probe and could sense that many martial arts masters were hiding their presence in the distance, fighting nearby.

Today's battle seems to have attracted the attention of many forces in the mortal world.

Xi Heng turned his head indifferently to look at the cultivator who had summoned thunder.

"Late stage of Foundation Establishment? Not bad." she said casually.

The fact that the Pure Fire Sect was able to send out such a powerful expert during the Fire Hell War shows that they pay considerable attention to external affairs.

The girl gently traced a line with her sword-like fingers, and the dark blue-black spirit sword behind her automatically drew out, circled around her body, and was then held in her right hand.

Ahead, an enemy cultivator sneered, "Evil cultivators from the Youxu Sect."

"If we're talking about which group of cultivators is the most evil, I'm afraid your Pure Fire Sect is the undisputed leader, right?" Xi Heng said bluntly, not caring that he was also a member of the Pure Fire Sect.

"Ha, turning black into white." The other party stopped arguing and slammed the drumhead with his right hand, which was holding an iron drumstick.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and a powerful threat descended upon the girl.

A strange tactile sensation quietly emerged among the strands of hair, as if the three thousand strands of hair were mixed with a bit of repulsion.

A powerful static electric field enveloped the area in an instant, causing the strands of hair beneath the black robe to become fluffy.

Xi Heng frowned slightly. Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning fell from the sky. Before the sound could be heard, it was caught by the cultivator in the distance with his iron drumstick.

click-

Under the thunder, the tiny drumsticks seemed to suddenly transform into great swords of light, unleashing bursts of lightning.

The next instant, the hammer slammed onto the drum, unleashing a shockwave even stronger than a thunderbolt.

The lightning arrived in an instant, enveloping the girl's entire figure.

But this figure was just an afterimage left by Xi Heng; his real body had already shifted before the other party even started drumming.

Stepping on the light with his toes, he instantly moved through the air, his sharp blade slashing fiercely, and a blood-red sword light bloomed out of thin air, carrying the white demon across the sky.

The opponent quickly conjured a shield of spiritual light, and Xi Heng seized the opportunity to teleport behind the enemy.

Holding a sharp sword in both hands, he leaped forward, stepping on a beam of spiritual light—

The blade pierced the air, creating a white barrier. Amidst the flashing blue light, a ball of resentful fire also moved towards the tip of the blade, bursting open as the blade struck the enemy's shield.

The blood-red sword energy in front had just been deflected by the enemy cultivator's shield when another attack burst forth from behind, shattering the spiritual light shield the moment it made contact.

The raging flames of resentment instantly engulfed the enemy, leaving them defenseless.

The enemy cultivators reacted and immediately urged the black clouds beneath their feet to retreat.

Even with such a swift and correct response, resentment had already taken hold on one of his shoulders.

The violent and ferocious hatred immediately transformed into countless mind-devouring ghosts, biting at the other's soul.

The other side immediately gritted their teeth and beat the drum, and thunder struck again from the sky.

The lightning bolt didn't hit him with the drumstick; instead, it struck him squarely on the shoulder.

A blinding thunderbolt struck the flames of resentment, and its immense power annihilated all the hatred within.

Lightning strikes inherently possess the power to destroy vengeful spirits and evil magic. When Xi Heng took out a bunch of lightning strike talismans from the Tian Zhao Palace, it also had a certain impact on Zhao Qianqiu.

The resentment that had been clinging to the other person was extinguished instantly by the lightning strike, as if a layer of cold water had been poured over it.

At the same time, the white robe on the person's shoulder was torn, and the skin and flesh underneath were charred black and emitting smoke.

Xi Heng clicked his tongue and looked at the other person with a flippant expression, saying, "Quite decisive, isn't he?"

“Resentment and evil magic… truly an evil practitioner.” The other party endured the pain and pounded the drum again.

The thunderous roar shook the mountains for the third time, and the Pure Fire Sect soldiers below had already formed their ranks. As the thunder roared, they shouted battle cries towards the mountains like the buzzing of wasps.

In battles between cultivators, these mortals are of no use; they can only fight their own battles on the ground.

Led by those with profound martial arts skills, the mortals below quickly climbed the mountain.

The rebel guards unleashed a barrage of arrows and spears, the sharp arrows whistling through the air as they rained down.

The warriors dodged the rain of arrows or used large shields to block them, and after a wave, only a few were injured.

Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Pure Fire Cult had not yet reached the top of the mountain, the rebel warriors began to charge down, taking advantage of their temporary high position.

The enemy, being a martial artist of the Pure Fire Sect, did not think they could encounter any powerful enemies in this remote area, and naturally had no fear.

But the reality was far beyond their expectations—the rebel warriors who had practiced Hunyuan Gong had all greatly increased their power.

Furthermore, the Hunyuan Gongwu (Primordial Chaos Kung Fu) does not cause hidden injuries from martial arts training, allowing practitioners to freely exert their full strength. Even those at the early stage of internal energy can contend with those at the middle stage of internal energy.
