Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Or perhaps, it also merged into Ima Yu's body?

"Too much spiritual energy might be too crowded... Maybe I should wait until I reach a certain level?" the girl muttered to herself.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Jin You asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Xi Heng maintained his composure, but then remembered that Jin You might not agree to have another roommate, so he decided to put the idea aside for the time being.

She thought she should wait until she actually obtained the White Phoenix Feather before making any decisions.

Perhaps Yin Wanluan's consciousness has already awakened, and he even knows how to restore his physical body.

As the boat sped along, it approached the checkpoint on the road in front of Xiping City.

She cast a silencing spell above the boat and then cast a Ghost Gate illusion spell to make it invisible.

He took out a shield talisman and hung it on his waist to conceal his aura. With everything ready, he urged the boat to speed up and rushed toward the open checkpoint in front of him.

A gust of wind swept past, and before the checkpoint fence could even be raised, Xi Heng had already left it far behind.

The company employees who were wandering around the station were stunned by the sound of the wind, but they could not see anything to their left or right. After a moment of confusion, they finally thought it was just a gust of wind and continued with their work.

After passing through, Xi Heng spent more than ten minutes crossing the main road and entering the outer city.

As soon as I stepped inside, the familiar sound of explosions rang out like a jumble of gowns, reflecting off the small shops not far away along with the expanding flames.

A while later, a large group of organized robbers rushed out of the store, piled up the goods, boarded a speedboat, and disappeared into the distance.

Instead of avoiding the disaster, most passersby rushed in and looted in the chaos, then emerged from the rubble with all sorts of items.

Seeing this familiar and harmonious scene, Yoru breathed a sigh of relief:

"I'm finally back..."

“I think the wilderness is better than this city,” Xi Heng commented.

When she returned to the city, she could always smell a faint sour odor.

It felt like we'd stumbled upon a garbage dump.

"People who stay in the wilderness for too long will develop mental problems."

"The city folks don't seem to be in very good spirits either." Xi Heng heard a long gunshot, followed by gunpowder exploding on the heads of thieves on the street.

It was fried until the flesh was torn apart, and even the white skull was exposed.

The man stumbled twice, then clutched his treasure and continued to flee for his life.

Hearing the shouts from the people behind him, he even turned around and cursed back a couple of times along the way.

"..." Jin You was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Maybe there will be a chance for things to get better in the future."

"I hope so." Xi Heng urged the boat to turn in another direction.

Following Jin You's directions, she slowly drove from the outer edge of the city towards an area closer to the inner city.

As the boat disembarked, footsteps landed on the spacious sidewalk.

Upon arriving in the central city, look back at the location of the golden line and black light you saw before entering the city.

The dark clouds form a canvas, with gold and black intertwined and separated, sometimes disappearing into the clouds, sometimes falling like thunder.

Such a rapid ascent and descent, as swift as a shooting star, would surely indicate that if the two were cultivators and monsters, their cultivation levels must have reached the Golden Core stage or even higher.

Other faint black dots could be seen flickering behind her, but unfortunately she was not nearby and could not see the battlefield clearly.

This only shows that the heavens here were at least prepared, able to keep the war outside the city without interfering with its operation.

Looking back, the people in the city continued their daily lives, and no one noticed anything unusual.

The girl followed the directions given by Ima Yu in her mind, walked around a block, and then through several narrow passages between buildings, until she arrived at the door of a gift shop.

The hall uses automated vending machines, which are unattended.

Generally speaking, such shops are quite easy to steal from, but the goods here are mostly useless, rough paper products, all covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that no one has been here for a long time.

Xi Heng opened the old shop door, listened to the rough creaking sound, and stepped out behind the threshold.

The soles of the shoes stepped on the dust, leaving diamond-shaped marks.

"There's a hollow spot on the left wall of the third shelf. Tap it twice and you can push it..." Jin You explained in his mind.

Xi Heng listened as he walked, then knocked on the wall and quickly found the place the other person had mentioned.

After being pushed open, a scroll the size of a palm fell out from the gap.

She reached out, untied the tangled rope, and opened it.

It was completely blank, just a piece of white paper.

Jin You said, "Write words on this with your spiritual light, and someone above will receive them."

"Is writing it down all you need to do?" Xi Heng suddenly asked. "Don't you have anything else to do?"

Jin You's voice was delicate: "I won't trouble you any further."

“It’s not too much trouble, but I do have something I want to do.” Xi Heng said directly, “Please tell me how to ascend to the heavens. I want to take advantage of the chaos to retrieve that feather.”

"..." The person in his heart remained silent for a moment.

After Xi Heng finished writing the message and rolled up the scroll again, putting it back inside the mechanism, she began to speak:

"You cannot enter the high heavens directly. You need to get close to the roots of the divine tree and obtain authorization to be teleported inside... or find a hidden underground passage near the roots of the tree."

"You know this hidden location, right?" Xi Heng asked.

The other party's reply was a question completely unrelated to the hiding place: "After you find that feather, what will you do?"

"Naturally, we should seek a way to achieve rebirth and rejuvenation."

"What if we find them all and finish them?"

"I'll find a place in this world to cultivate slowly," Xi Heng thought.

"Why cultivate?" Jin You rarely showed such obvious curiosity about Xi Heng.

"Immortality, ascension to immortality, fulfillment of wishes." The girl casually uttered a few words, then shrugged and said, "Why so many whys?"

"If, if you cultivate to the highest point in this world... could you help me fulfill my last wish and restore Xiping City from this chaotic state back to normal?" she asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, you won't die," Xi Heng comforted him.

"I have a bad feeling... it seems that I will be separated from you soon, perhaps because my consciousness is about to perish," Jin You said in her heart.

"It's also possible that I'll soon find a way that allows both of us to have our way, and I can give my body back to you," Xi Heng said optimistically.

"..." Jin You was silent for a while, then changed the subject without warning, saying, "Deep in the sewers of the central city, there is a special flying boat, next to which are the roots of the divine tree. That flying boat can use the power of the earth's veins to go straight to the sky along with the roots."

Xi Heng nodded: "Thank you."

She opened the Aura Map and asked Kim Yu to indicate the location and depth.

The direction has been clearly planned, and the roads after entering the Midtown sewers have been marked.

"The location isn't too far." She muttered to herself before turning and leaving the area, heading towards her destination.

Having just circled the dusty shelves, I stepped over the threshold and was about to leave the store.

Immediately, golden light descended upon the door.

It was as if a blinding searchlight had suddenly been turned on; one moment the area in front of you was dark and ordinary, and the next moment it was filled with golden light.

Xi Heng frowned, and his toes, which had just stepped out of the store, retreated halfway.

As the light faded, the figure of an old man slowly emerged, standing with his hands behind his back, looking kindly at Xi Heng.

This person had a full head of neatly combed white hair, long eyebrows that drooped to the corners of his eyes, and clear brown eyes that looked like mirrors, revealing a kind and benevolent expression.

His wide-sleeved white robe fluttered in the wind, and although he appeared to be standing on the ground, his feet were actually floating in the air, as if he did not want to be touched by the dust of the mortal world.

Xi Heng discerned that this person's aura indicated he was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Your Highness Kim Yoo, I have been sent by your superiors to invite you back to your residence," the other party said gently.

"Who is this?" Xi Heng asked in his mind.

Jin Yu paused for a moment, then responded in a low voice:

"Xing Jun is one of the liaisons between the lower realm and the higher heavens... He is the highest-level cultivator that mortals in Xiping City might ever meet."

"I'm not sure I can beat someone at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm right now," Xi Heng thought to himself.

Because she was going to steal the feather later, she tacitly agreed that Gao Tianren and she were in a hostile relationship.

"Listen to what he has to say first," Jin You reminded him. "Be assertive in your tone."

Xi Heng then coldly replied to the person who had suddenly appeared before him: "Invite me back? You don't deserve it. Let your superiors come and invite you themselves."

Jin You was stunned: "Isn't this a bit too forceful?"

"No, I don't think so." Xi Heng, who had been an emperor, thought it didn't matter.

"..."

The cultivator before him was stunned for a moment, then stroked his long beard and said:

“It seems that what Miss Qian said is true. His Highness has stayed here for too long and has inevitably been tainted by the filth of the world… To be frank, the Elder has important matters to discuss with you. Please go to see him as soon as possible. Perhaps you will be restored to your throne and receive blessings again.”

"It might be related to the current bizarre battle. Should I agree?" she asked herself.

“They won’t go back unless they tell us what this important matter is,” Yoru Kon replied.

"Just say what's important, don't beat around the bush," Xi Heng said.

"Hehe... It would be best if Your Highness came up with me to discuss this further." The old man continued stroking his beard, and a spiritual light appeared in his other hand.

The girl also focused her mind, ready to unleash a martial arts technique at any moment.

As the two confronted each other, a loud voice suddenly rang out from the dark clouds high in the sky.

"Do not cause any trouble. Ask away any questions! Please invite His Highness back to the residence immediately!"

The sound was like an explosion, piercing through thick clouds and shaking tall buildings. Even advertising projections rippled for several seconds, and countless magical facilities were affected, causing flying boats on the road to crash and lights to flicker.

Xi Heng narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the sound source in the sky.

"Nascent Soul?"

This was her first time sensing the power of the Nascent Soul, and she only felt a slight influence on the spiritual light within her body.

"Yes!" The old man in front of him nodded hurriedly, his attitude turning amiable as he smiled at Xi Heng and said, "Your Highness, are you aware that ghosts and monsters have invaded, but the elders have set up a great formation to keep them outside the city?"

The girl snapped out of her daze from the sound and nodded.

"This strange phenomenon is not the once-in-a-century Black Tide, but rather a deliberate attack on Xiping under the guidance of the Third Prince," the other party explained simply and clearly.

"Your Highness?"

"Third Prince?" Xi Heng mimicked Jin You's surprised tone.

“Indeed… Alas, I misjudged him back then, letting the Third Prince succeed to the position of Vice Sect Master. I never imagined that his ideas were far more radical than yours, Your Highness, but he hid them so well that no one could detect them.” The other person sighed, “Now that we know, the calamity has already arrived.”

"What does that mean?" the girl continued to learn.

"Her Highness the Princess only wishes to change the Xiping strategy to the one used for Changping... but he wants to hand Xiping over to the leader of the vengeful spirits," the old man said disappointedly.

"Knowing he was about to be exposed, he hid in the divine tree beforehand and sealed the entrance with golden branches, preventing any of us from entering... Now, only Your Highness still possesses the Golden Blood of Grace. The elders hope that you can regain your strength and enter the tree to stop the Third Prince's treacherous plot."

Jin You was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a long time.

Until the other party urged: "So please, Your Highness, return to Gaotian with me as soon as possible, do not hesitate... Jin Tianqing is in the tree and I don't know what he is doing. I only know that the resentment in the tree is becoming more and more active, and I'm afraid it will cause another internal disaster soon."

"Third brother? How dare he..."

Xi Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Is this Third Prince the one who obtained your plan and handed it over to those Nascent Soul elders?"

“It was a betrayal. We were originally on the same path, but for some reason he suddenly betrayed everything.” Jin You’s voice grew somber as she recalled the past.

"Perhaps he planned this day when he betrayed us... but why did he have to rely on vengeful ghosts?"

"Who knows?" Xi Heng thought to himself, "Anyway, should I go back with this guy?"

"..." After a moment, Jin You replied, "I guess so, but there's one condition."

"uh-huh?"

"Make those guys up there give your phoenix feathers back."
