Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

The cultivators breathed a sigh of relief—at least those residing within the new formation.

As for the areas outside the formation, such as Shigu Market and Tianxi Peak, the spiritual energy concentration is decreasing at an increasingly faster rate, making it almost impossible for Qi Refining cultivators to cultivate there.

For them, the only remaining function of the Great Spirit Locking Array is to ensure that spiritual energy is not lost.

As soon as the new formation was completed, the cultivators of the Fire Prison were divided into inner formation cultivators and outer formation cultivators, widening the resource gap to two extremes.

The cultivators in the outer formation no longer dare to use their spiritual power recklessly. Their originally comfortable lives have plummeted. They have even resorted to mortal methods for making fires and boiling water. Although they are cultivators, their lives are no longer as good as those in the mortal world.

They were naturally unwilling to accept this, but they had no power to resist, so they could only do their best to squeeze into the inner formation.

At the same time, various evil cultivation methods with low requirements for spiritual power emerged, and murder and harming, which were once extremely rare in the Fire Hell, gradually appeared and increased over time.

At first, the higher-ups in the Fire Prison were able to capture the murderers and restrain the evil cultivators, but as half a year passed, the inner array cultivators were no longer willing to fight the evil cultivators to the death, and their actions and patrols became merely procedural, and their control over the outer array area became increasingly weak.

As this trend continued, the number of normal cultivators in the outer formation gradually decreased, while the number of evil cultivators increased.

The most numerous of them are poison cultivators and blood cultivators.

These heretical cultivators harbor great hostility towards those within the inner formation. They frequently sneak into the inner formation, which has weak defenses, causing harm and chaos.

Such murders, spirit draining, and ambushes occurred one after another, which made the inner formation cultivators unable to tolerate it any longer. So the Pure Fire Sect sent Foundation Establishment stage protectors to sweep through the outer formation, killing more than a hundred outer formation cultivators in a row, and the harm was temporarily hidden.

Until the end of the second year after the formation within the formation was completed, the outer formation's poison cultivators painstakingly refined hundreds of Poison Disaster Pills and, under the guidance of an inner formation cultivator, entered the inner formation's Purifying Fire Base and made arrangements.

One night, hundreds of poisonous bombs exploded simultaneously, striking Jinghuo Bendu and causing poisonous fog to fill the sky.

The poisoning has raged for several days, and the number of casualties is unknown.

All that is known is that after this disaster, the Pure Fire Sect was furious and sent three great protectors and hundreds of internal cultivators to the outer formation. They dug three feet into the ground to find the hiding place of those poisonous cultivators and vowed to exterminate them all.

Only then did Xi Heng slowly awaken from his long period of cultivation in order to break through his cultivation realm.

Upon successfully reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, she first casually went outside her cave to try out a few spells, then lit up a flame of resentment to observe the various changes and developments in the outside world during the years she had devoted herself to cultivation.

As she watched, the girl couldn't help but twitch her lips.

He was stunned for a moment, especially after witnessing the poison cultivator's terrifying attack.

"Is this... still the peaceful and tranquil Hellfire?"

In her memory, although the cultivators of the Fire Hell treated ordinary people like livestock, the cultivators themselves got along quite harmoniously.

How could he have become so completely different after only two years of seclusion and cultivation?

In the hazy distance, a thunderous, explosive sound suddenly rang out from outside the cave.

Xi Heng frowned and extended his spiritual sense, only to find that the place where he had just tested his moves had been blasted into scorched earth by a massive fireball.

Immediately afterwards, another loud shout rang out:

"You heretical villain! Stop hiding here and show yourself to die!"

"..."

A sweep of spiritual sense revealed that the newcomers were all dressed in white robes of the Pure Fire Sect, numbering over thirty. They were the Pure Fire Sect's protectors who had come to the outer formation area to eliminate evil cultivators.

Inside the cave, the black-haired girl rubbed her forehead and muttered to herself, "It seems I shouldn't have gone out to test my skills."

Clearly, the few wisps of spiritual energy she had just released were mistaken by the other party as being left behind by an evil cultivator from an outer formation, which is why they came to investigate this place.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 253, Times Changed

"You evil heretics, show yourselves at once!"

Such cries echoed again from outside the cave, accompanied by a fierce roar of flames.

The spirit could clearly perceive that a fireball was falling from the sky and exploding on the hill above the cave.

The soil was crushed and scattered, and the stones were shaken and left in pits.

However, the illusion of the Purifying Fire Locking Spirit Array still affected the perception of cultivators outside. They could only see the fireball fall into it, create a ripple, and then disappear.

"Break the illusion!" the rough old man's voice outside shouted again.

Then, more and more spells followed.

Although they could not directly break the illusion of the Spirit Locking Array with their cultivation techniques, the shock that the illusion could conceal was always limited.

When the third fireball landed, the entrance to Xiheng Cave finally partially appeared.

As a Dharma Protector in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he charged straight in without any hesitation, his spiritual light surging as he instantly entered the fray.

However, just as he reached the entrance of the cave and was about to turn inside, an invisible giant hand suddenly appeared in the air and swatted him away in another direction as if swatting a mosquito.

His body was slammed into the ground, leaving a large crater.

Inside the cave, Xi Heng, who had just finished tying his hair up, slowly yawned, withdrew his casually extended hand, and gave a reminder:

"Knocking on the door like that is not very polite."

Fireballs continued to rain down outside, relentlessly destroying the lush natural landscape surrounding the cave.

The original shrubs and saplings were blown into lifeless craters, with broken trees and burning leaves.

The shockwave rippled, and the strong wind made her ponytail dance.

Xi Heng snapped his fingers, and a three-meter-tall, three-tailed fire fox formed from deep red resentment flames immediately appeared beside him. It opened its mouth and howled, then charged towards the dozens of Dharma Protectors behind it.

As the flames surged and swept through, several cultivators were engulfed in flames and quickly consumed by the resentful fire.

Other cultivators tried to get away, but most of them were no faster than the Fire Fox.

The giant fox leaped through the air, tearing and attacking, and in just a few seconds, the enemy had lost more than half of their numbers.

On the other side, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been sent flying by Xi Heng unleashed the Blazing Spirit Heavenly Technique, his entire body erupting in yellow flames as he used his enhanced spells to fight.

The opponent had already given it his all, but Xi Heng simply dealt with it casually, using a few simple pushes and palm strikes from a distance to knock him down again with the external force of martial arts.

Without even drawing her sword, she had already suppressed a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single hand.

The enemy, startled and considering retreat, began to use magic to fly high into the sky, wanting to create distance first.

But Xi Heng gripped it tightly with his right hand and imprisoned it, then pressed it down hard, causing it to fall to the ground again.

"The boost from advancing to the late Foundation Establishment stage is quite significant..." Even during the battle, she was still thinking about cultivation.

At the same time, he stepped closer to the enemy's leader, who was being suppressed on the ground.

The opponent struggled as flames erupted from his body, but the external force of martial arts could also absorb the flames into his body, making the restraints even stronger.

At this point, the other Dharma protectors either fled or were consumed by the flames of resentment, and the air finally quieted down.

Xi Heng walked slowly to the side of the attacking cultivator at the pace of an ordinary person, and simply said:

"In your next life, don't knock on the door like that."

Immediately, crimson flames of resentment bloomed in her palm, forming the shape of a longsword.

"There are cultivators like this in the outer formation... Wait, I—" The opponent didn't expect Xi Heng to have such a murderous intent at first, and only began to beg for mercy when he saw the sharp blade pointing straight at his brow.

However, before he could finish speaking, the deep red glass sword pierced through his head.

The flames of resentment erupted from within, engulfing the opponent's entire body.

The girl released the longsword and clapped her hands.

The man-eating fire fox transformed into pure crimson resentful flames and flowed back into its body, with the other flame colors returning to its body shortly afterward.

Looking at the chaotic scene of ruins surrounding the cave, Xi Heng lost all interest in staying there any longer.

"Speaking of which, we've run out of fasting pills again. Let's go buy some more."

She returned to her cave dwelling, put some of her daily necessities back into her storage ring, hummed a song as she left, passing many charred corpses, and headed in a familiar direction.

Halfway through, the concentration of spiritual energy became increasingly thin.

Upon reaching the entrance of Shigu Market, Xi Heng gained a clearer understanding of just how poor the cultivation environment was for cultivators outside the formation.

With such a high concentration of spiritual energy, it would be impossible to cultivate smoothly in the cultivation room without adding spirit stones and a spirit-gathering array.

At the entrance to the market, several cultivators dressed in dark robes were stationed. Upon seeing Xi Heng's appearance and demeanor, they frowned and exchanged glances.

As she drew nearer, he asked in a deep voice:

"Inner formation personnel?"

"..." Xi Heng was not quite used to this fiery hell, and told the truth: "I just came here to buy some fasting pills."

"To enter the market, you need three spirit stones," the cultivator in front of him said directly.

"Oh." The girl followed local customs, and a faint light flashed from the storage ring on her fingertip, revealing three Fire Hell standard spirit stones floating in the air.

The cultivator in front accepted the item and silently let him pass.

After Xi Heng left, these people stared at his retreating figure for a long time.

……

A fasting pill was poured out of the porcelain bottle and Xi Heng put it into his lips as if he were eating a chocolate bean.

The commercial street was deserted for a short while, but soon many cultivators dressed in dark robes slowly emerged from the streets and alleys.

Xi Heng stopped and waited quietly for half a minute, and then the cultivators formed a circle around her, trapping her.

In the dim light of the setting sun, the enemy took out talismans, magical artifacts, and magical lightning to threaten them.

Xi Heng gazed at it, thinking only, "So retro..."

She had read the history books of the Pure Fire cultivators and remembered that the 'Kalpa Cultivator' had not appeared for hundreds of years.

Even today, when cultivation resources become extremely scarce, cultivators have taken up this ancient profession again.

At the front, a man stepped out from among the black-robed cultivators.

He was about to make a threat, ordering Xi Heng to leave behind his storage ring and other magical artifacts.

But before he could speak, the movements and sounds suddenly stopped.

Because in the distance, from the direction of Jinghuo Bendu, a huge red-yellow fire suddenly erupted and shot straight into the sky.

After the light appeared, a tremendous roar followed.

Xi Heng tilted his head and turned to look in the same direction as the other person.

Suddenly, flames roared high in the sky, and the dark clouds in the east were instantly dyed a fiery red and yellow.

The red twilight of the setting sun in the west was dim, while over there it was bright.

A massive number of fireballs sprayed into the dim sky like a fireworks display, then transformed into streaks of meteoric flame that streaked across the sky before falling back down.

"The flames of resentment have erupted, a year earlier than in the previous life..." Xi Heng nodded in a daze, his fingertips moving as he calculated the exact time.

"The suffering of the Fire Prison cultivators was caused by the establishment of the inner formation, which calmed the resentment within the Pure Fire somewhat. So, could Yin Wanluan's entry have accelerated its eruption...?"

She gazed at the fiery meteors on the horizon, lost in thought.

Once the resentment subsides to a certain extent, Yin Wanluan will have the opportunity to save the world.

In this life, Yin Wanluan should have already entered the Pure Fire, beginning to suppress her resentment, waiting for someone to defeat the vengeful beast and help her truly succeed.

As Xi Heng made her guess, the evil cultivators who had surrounded her and were originally going to rob and attack her gradually retreated under the leader's orders.

The disaster struck suddenly, leaving these outer formation cultivators completely bewildered. They only knew that disaster was imminent and they had to hurry back to make preparations.

When Xi Heng came to his senses, the surroundings were already empty.

She clicked her tongue and shook her head, saying:

"You escaped with your life."

As soon as she finished speaking, three more cultivators in dark robes emerged from the dark alley, drawing sharp swords and long sabers to confront her, and sneered in a low voice:

"Did you really find it?"

Xi Heng glanced at them and realized that these people were another group of cultivators.

The previous wave had just receded when this one arrived—the hellish landscape of this world has truly changed drastically.

"You guys are all brainless," she said casually. "Those people gathered thirty of them to surround me, and you three dare to do it?"

"Enough with the nonsense, hand over your storage ring. We've already killed one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Inner Formation, one more won't hurt."

"Oh?" Xi Heng raised his hand and pressed it down.
