Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

She turned and flung out her flying device, which collided with the talisman cannon, causing it to explode in mid-air.

A tremendous roar shook the heavens, and a fireball erupted, hanging high in the sky like a small sun.

But the enemy's offensive did not stop there; high-speed crossbow bolts, swirling with spiritual light, were fired directly.

With a clang, the crossbow bolts were easily blocked by the automatic protection function of the Twelve Flying Instruments.

The next moment, multiple talisman cannons, trailing fiery contrails, chased after her again. Even though Jin You was in the enemy's blind spot, the talisman cannons' tracking ability was incredibly accurate.

Clearly, the enemy's black array masters had locked onto her location.

Jin You quickly used the flying device to detonate the pursuing talisman cannon in advance, and then tried to reconnect the team's communication as soon as possible.

"Can you hear me? Speak!"

After several attempts, Captain Tong's voice finally came through the communication:

"Finally, news arrived. You escaped too, right? The fighting in that area was fierce just now; third-tier fire spell cannons were firing wildly—"

"They're targeting me!" Jin You cursed under his breath, then got down to business:

“The cat you have is fake, but the real cat has escaped. I sent it to the tallest tower in this area. Go and get it.”

"Fake?" the person on the other end exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm still on the run, no time to talk! Go now!" Jin You hung up the communication, then used the flying device to kill the members of the Living Kill Gang who were blocking the road in a single-person boat in the alley ahead. After killing them, he seized the two-wheeled boat, got on, and headed towards the mainland.

Sparks flew as the two ironwood wheels scraped against the ground, reaching their maximum speed in just a few seconds before transforming into streaks that swept across the road.

Many similar boats were also in hot pursuit, with crossbow bolts and fire arrows raining down.

The girl slammed on the brakes, leaving a mark on the ground, and then turned into a side alley.

After turning around a few times, the surroundings calmed down, and an unfamiliar communication request appeared before my eyes.

After the bell rang a few times, Jin You answered the communication while sailing the boat.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, the image of the leader of the Living Kill Hall, whom he had met underground, reappeared on the screen:

"It's you, kid... oh, and you're a girl, anyway, you're the one who ruined my casino and my live stream?"

"I will take your life again." Jin You replied simply, keeping an eye on the road ahead and maneuvering the single-person flying boat beneath him to accelerate.

The wind howled, making the blood-stained gray robe rustle and causing his short, dark gray hair to ripple.

"What a fucking joke! Come on! Don't even mention a mere fourth-tier pilot like you. Even the fifth-tier pilots in the company have to show me some respect, understand?" He was completely in the dim light, his black leather suit and tattoos seemingly invisible, revealing only the outline of a burly man.

Send me the coordinates, I'm coming to kill you right now!

"Okay! Sent, I'm waiting!" The other party closed the communication and disappeared in a flash.

Then, Jin You received a message with a map coordinate clearly marked.

"Are you really going?" Xi Heng's voice fell into her ear.

"I'm not going." Jin You didn't even look at it, only letting the map mark the fastest route to the city: "If you want to save your life, you have to go to the city. Gangs can fight each other at will in the outer city, but they have to follow some rules in the city."

Once the map and route were planned, she steered the boat to another alley on the side.

He continued, "If we buy medical insurance, we should be able to save our lives for a while."

"Then?"

"...We'll talk about it later." The other person exhaled.

She estimated that her gains today were quite substantial; the dozen or so second-tier crystal cores and five third-tier spirit body cores were enough for her to pay off her loan and survive in the city for a while.

Xi Heng silently appeared at the stern of the other party's small flying boat, gazing into the city.

The trunk of the giant tree, shimmering with a pale golden light, stands tall, reaching straight into the clouds.

The huge shade of the trees covered the entire city of Xiping, blocking out the sunlight and casting shadows.

Even through the gaps in the layers of dark clouds, little light could be seen.

“This tree looks radiant, but it is actually a sinful thing,” she said softly.

While she was driving, Jin You remained silent and received another call from an unknown number.

The girl clicked her tongue to confirm she had answered and replied directly:

"What's wrong? Haven't you finished speaking?"

It wasn't until half a second later that she realized she had mistaken him for someone else. This time, the image in the call was no longer the leader of the Living Kill Hall, who was covered in black skin, but another figure wearing a robe embroidered with red lotus flowers and a red mask covering half of his face.

The other party parted her lips slightly, and a female voice came through: "I think this is our first time talking, Miss Prajna."

"What do the Fire Lotus Gang people do?" Jin You took a deep breath. Getting involved with these crazy people who blow up companies was not a good thing.

"I heard you've run into trouble, clashing with the Living Killing Hall?" The other person got down to business: "We happen to have some grudges with them too, do you need any support?"

"Support? So kind of you?"

"Of course, we are all righteous and benevolent people, but there is a small condition—you have to join the Fire Lotus Gang," the woman in the red mask said with a smile.

"I don't want to hang out with a bunch of lunatics, I'm not doing this." Just as Jin You was about to hang up, the other person's next sentence saved her:

"How about we change the terms? When we're going to wipe out the Living Killing Hall, you'll have to come with us, okay?"

This time, Jin You hesitated for only half a second before agreeing: "Okay."

"Support is about to arrive." The communication was cut off as soon as the other party finished speaking.

Just as she was wondering where the reinforcements were, a dense barrage of fire magic cannons flew toward her from not far away on the horizon.

"Damn it." Jin You urged the boat to accelerate to its maximum speed, only to find that this time the talisman cannon was not aimed at her, but was directly smashed into the road behind her.

A giant fireball streaked across the sky like a meteor, crashing into the intersection and creating vast seas of fire.

The howling wind, accompanied by thunder, struck near the ears, almost deafening people.

The boat beneath me rocked and lurched several times, barely managing to weather the turbulence.

The girl looked back and saw that more than a dozen pursuers had been wiped out under the cover of artillery fire, the road was damaged and blocked, and the members of the Living Kill Hall who were chasing after them were also blocked behind the sea of ​​fire.

Sitting at the back of the boat, Xi Heng blinked as he saw the sudden sea of ​​fire, then glanced at the towering tree in the distance.

The next moment, he suddenly said:

"When shall we burn that tree?"

"Huh?" Jin You was stunned.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 267, Calamity is Approaching

In Xiping City, a towering, wide, pale golden tree, so tall it could be described as reaching to the sky, looms over the center of the entire city.

Its thick trunk has countless tiny protrusions or cracks, and like the bark of other tall trees, it is bumpy and uneven, like scales tightly wrapped around this miraculous golden giant tree.

It is the largest source of light in the entire city. Even when the sky is always covered with dark clouds and no sunlight can penetrate, the entire city is still illuminated by it.

During the day, this giant pillar emits a dazzling golden light, which gradually fades as night falls, thus distinguishing between day and night in Xiping City.

Xi Heng sat at the stern of a rapidly moving ground boat, gazing at the dense golden light emanating from the giant tree.

He thought to himself that this thing should be similar to the pure fire.

The same pure and noble appearance, as if representing eternity.

But in reality, the interior is filthy and chaotic, sucking the lives of living beings in an extremely ugly way in exchange for spiritual light to supply the cultivators of this world.

At this moment, the road behind the boat she was traveling on had just been blasted into a sea of ​​fire by the talisman cannon.

Upon witnessing the raging fire, Xi Heng subconsciously recalled how Jinghuoben had once been engulfed in flames.

Thinking of Yin Wanluan's figure, I looked at the towering giant tree in the distance.

"If Yin Wanluan also wakes up and understands this world, she will probably try to destroy this tree, right?" Xi Heng thought to himself as he sat at the stern of the speeding boat.

"If he hasn't woken up, that white phoenix feather should still be in Xiping City..."

She remembered some of the words she heard when she was a glass fire egg, being studied inside some company and not stolen by Jin You.

"I seem to have vaguely heard someone say that we need to send the white fire up there? To the heavens?"

"Right now, Yin Wanluan might be high in the sky?"

As he muttered to himself, Xi Heng suddenly thought of the simplest and most direct way to find the other person—

So I subconsciously started saying:

"When shall we burn that tree?"

"what?"

Ignoring the surprised looks on her face, the girl nodded to herself.

Because the white phoenix feathers are not afraid of being burned by raging fire, as long as we find a way to burn this towering tree inside and out, we can easily find it by using our spiritual sense to scan around it.

When I reunite with Yin Wanluan, I'll find a way to truly resurrect myself and also get her a physical body. Then we can travel together to other cities to find ways to cultivate, right?

For example, one can go to the central city of Changpingjing, where it is said that one can cultivate to the level of a deity in the highest heaven.

However, this simple and direct method also has a small limitation—there are cultivators in the high heavens of Xiping City who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and she may not be able to defeat them.

No matter how special I am, my current cultivation level is only at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm.

Being separated by an entire major realm on the path of cultivation will inevitably create an insurmountable gap in strength.

"It's alright, let's give it a try first. Save the game before burning it, maybe we can beat it after a few reloads"—Xi Heng nodded quietly.

She had great confidence in the Pure Fire; it had burned through the Pure Fire Manual before, so it should be able to burn a large tree as well.

"Hmm, I'll give it a try when I have the chance, and I can also vent my anger for the mortals who are oppressed by the heavens." The white-haired girl thought she had come up with a good idea.

However, when the possessed Yoru heard these words, she was turned into a trembling, stuttering little girl.

"You, you said, burn, burn what?"

“The tree,” Xi Heng tilted his head.

"Tree? Which tree?"

"The largest one you see right now."

"The Divine Tree?" Jin You wasn't this nervous when he was being chased by hundreds of people from the Living Kill Hall, and he remained relatively calm when he saw numerous talisman cannons raining down from the sky.

But now, hearing these words, I feel completely helpless.

"Yes, I'll burn it when I have time later," Xi Heng said gently.

"..."

Then, I heard a few deep breaths from beside me.

Jin You struggled to calm the turbulent emotions within her, barely managing to steady her hands on the rudder of the boat, and after a while, she replied:

"I thought the Fire Lotus Gang, those guys who keep bombing the company, were crazy enough, but I never expected there was an even crazier one inside me."

"Is that so?" Xi Heng didn't think so.

"At least the Fire Lotus Gang won't touch the Divine Tree." Jin You tried to organize his thoughts and explain, "If they can't succeed, so be it. But if they really cause trouble, do you know how many people will die?"

"uh-huh?"

“A hundred years ago, the divine tree was damaged once, and that incident directly took the lives of 30% of the people in Xiping City... nearly a million,” the girl said, pursing her lips.

"Why? Did the Celestials take away a million lives to repair the damage to the trees?"

"No... the sky collapsed." Jin You seemed unwilling to say more about this, only quoting a passage from history: "The divine tree collapsed, order was disrupted, life and death were reversed, hell and the underworld opened up, and endless evil spirits descended into the world, which even the gods and men could not defeat."

"A demon?" Xi Heng tilted his head.

"In the end, it was only when the Changping Capital sent a divine being that the matter was finally resolved."

During their conversation, as no one was chasing them from behind and the roads became congested, the speed of the airship gradually slowed down.

"Hmm...this seems to be quite important information." Xi Heng had a vague guess in his mind.

"If the divine tree that supports the sky and the earth is really burned, I'm afraid everyone in the city will die. Please don't do such a crazy thing." Jin You looked back and saw that she seemed serious, so she quickly stopped her.

"Life and death are reversed, hell and the netherworld are opened..." The white-haired girl simply looked at the giant tree in the distance, which radiated golden light like the sun, and murmured softly.

Jin You realized that the other person didn't seem to be listening to her at all, sighed softly, and turned her gaze back to reality.

Large numbers of boats were blocking the intersection, making it difficult to pass. Only boats with Xiping Road Privileges membership could continue to navigate the congested streets and intersections without being fined.
