Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

She easily traversed ten thousand meters, drifting with the wind until she arrived at the gate of the target small sect.

Although this place is a small sect, it is still quite imposing due to the world's advanced architectural techniques.

Although there are only fifty disciples inside, the building looks like a grand temple that houses hundreds of disciples and grandchildren.

The outer walls are red and the tiles are green, with moss and vines decorating them to give them an ancient and rustic feel. Inside, there are seven or eight large houses, which are divided into alchemy workshops, craftsmen's workshops, disciples' residences, sect halls, kitchens and so on.

Most cultivators in this world have their own lineages, and the major clans among mortals also have some connection with the cultivators' forces. In this era, there are very few people who truly start their cultivation from being an ignorant mortal and embark on the path of immortality.

Those who would follow such a small sect are only ordinary, independent cultivators.

After each branch splits into several smaller groups, it's already considered lucky that this small sect has fifty people.

Xi Heng appeared briefly at the gate and glanced at the courtyard ahead.

With his nascent soul spreading out, he easily identified the people among them and found the sect leader who was still in seclusion, thanks to the detailed information sent by the Great Spirit.

The other party cultivated very diligently. The coiling sensation when the spiritual energy was absorbed was constant and had become profound. It was clear that he had been meditating continuously for at least a year with little rest.

Xi Heng had never done this before. She usually meditated and rested for a while after half a month of cultivation, and had never tried to continuously breathe in spiritual light.

"With such concentration, perhaps I have focused all my attention on my body and have no mind to pay attention to the outside world..." she thought to herself. "In that case, it will be easier to do things."

After assessing the situation, Xi Heng immediately began to consider how to proceed.

“There’s no need to kill him. There haven’t been any unexpected deaths of Golden Core cultivators or above in Changping Capital in the last hundred years. Killing him might attract Nascent Soul cultivators to search for him. It’s better to avoid trouble… Besides, I don’t have any grudge against this guy.” Xi Heng nodded and murmured.

"It's also best not to use the abilities of space and fire phoenix. If you mention the concepts of phoenix and space in Changping Capital, cultivators will quickly associate them with me. If you can't do things silently to the limit, then use other powers to do things."

After thinking it over, the girl easily came to a conclusion: "Deathly aura is pretty good."

The aura of death is a special kind of energy that is quite difficult for cultivators without special protective abilities to deal with.

As long as the amount is controlled, it will not cause immediate death.

With his current cultivation level, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to deal with a non-body cultivator Golden Core who wasn't using any protective techniques, using death energy.

Without hesitation, Xi Heng's body lit up again, transforming into a spark floating in the air. He drifted toward the inner hall where his target was located, penetrating the barrier and finding a gap in the constantly changing protective formation. He then silently arrived at the front of the cultivation room.

A Golden Core cultivator is indeed a Golden Core cultivator; even though she hasn't released a single trace of her aura, it's difficult for even a Nascent Soul cultivator to detect her.

As if foreshadowed, the other party suddenly opened their eyes and used their divine sense to scan the surrounding kilometer range.

Although he didn't notice anything unusual, he groaned and stood up, preparing to end his cultivation.

Just as the viscous spiritual energy around them suddenly became disordered due to the stagnation of absorption, an intense aura of death surged out like an explosion, instantly filling the entire hall.

The moment the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator made contact with the death energy, the target froze on the spot, his physical body stained with the black aura representing death energy, as if petrified, covering his entire body.

Xi Heng appeared in the pale form of the Lord of the Death Realm, withdrawing some of his deathly aura to prevent him from dying instantly.

Then, looking at the black stone statue of the middle-aged and elderly cultivator in front of him, he reached out and placed his hand on its head.

The nascent soul opened its eyes and saw through the soul.

With a touch and twist of the five fingers, the memories within the soul body are reflected in the Nascent Soul's pupils.

Then, the memory scenes play out as if in fast forward.

After turning left and right several times, Xi Heng finally found a few memories related to the original design draft of the Spirit Creation Body.

This person did not directly participate in the design of the spirit creation body. He was just a master who had followed him decades ago and was invited to teach the technical staff of the Spirit Blood Project of the Far Expansion Company the principles of making spirit puppets in puppetry.

Xi Heng flipped through it once, but couldn't find any connection with the design draft of the spirit body.

However, there is no need to investigate this yourself; you can simply hand over the memory images to the Great Spirit afterward.

After twisting and turning the other's soul for a long time to memorize the scene, the girl slapped the soul back into her body and tried to erase the recent memories—since it was her first time using this technique, she did not know how effective it would be on a Golden Core cultivator.

After completing these actions, the girl's figure flashed and disappeared again.

The distance of ten thousand meters was but a blink of an eye. Xi Heng returned to the courtyard and, as if he had never left, sat back down on the small stool by the pond, reminiscing about what he had just witnessed, muttering to himself:

"Compared to when I was in the Fire Hell, dealing with other Foundation Establishment cultivators with my Foundation Establishment cultivation... it's much easier for Nascent Soul cultivators to bully Golden Core cultivators."

He had only been out for six or seven minutes when he finished what he was doing and returned to his own courtyard with the memory of his target.

Xi Heng hummed a leisurely tune, flicked his fingertips to create a spark of light, and slowly drew the memory scene he had just seen in front of him, while also letting out a sound.

My own array has been deployed, and image recording has begun.

After a moment, I felt that there were too many and too many memories, and it would take half a day to record them slowly.

Therefore, he increased the efficiency of his spiritual drawing and sound production by diverting his attention to simultaneously start more than a dozen recording programs.

After speeding up by more than ten times, it was completed in just half an hour.

The memory images were placed in the same file and sent directly to Da Ling via the network, allowing the other party to slowly search through the memories.

Xi Heng casually took out a fresh fruit from his inventory and tasted it, while also sitting by the pond watching the fish swim in the water.

With nothing to do, time slipped by.

Five or six minutes later, Da Ling replied:

"It can be confirmed that the original design of the seventh generation of spirit creation bodies is not in the Far Expansion Company or the underground experimental facilities, but in the Spirit Blood Temple in the Supreme Heaven. The spirit creation body project itself was proposed by the Spirit Blood Temple, and the Far Expansion Company, which operates on the ground, is just its deputy."

"You found it so quickly?" Xi Heng tilted his head.

“Although the total amount of memory is vast, I do not view it in a human way; I only need to examine it,” the Great Spirit replied.

"Am I going to cause trouble for the Spirit Blood Temple next?" The girl looked up at the sky, her gaze piercing through the clouds.

The high heavens above the clouds may not be as easy to deal with as the Golden Core cultivators below.

"No... The method of creating spirit puppets explained in my memory mentioned the matter of lifespan. Combined with other information I have learned, perhaps we only need to find a half-finished spirit creation to calculate how to remove the lifespan limit."

"A semi-finished spirit creation? This thing should only exist on the production line of the Far Expansion Company... Stealing one doesn't seem too difficult." Xi Heng's spatial abilities are perfect for this kind of thing.

It wouldn't be difficult for her to steal the entire Farsight Company building—it's just that she'd likely be tracked down afterward.

"Ideally, we could steal a cultivation chamber," Da Ling said shamelessly, repeating his request.

"Sure." The more she thought about it, the simpler it seemed, and she nodded in agreement: "Send me the address and the image, and it'll be done in five minutes—speaking of which, should I send it to you?"

“No need…” Da Ling paused for a moment, then sent the location of the Far Expansion Company’s spirit blood product chain, and slowly said, “I want to send a spirit creation that is purely under my control to your residence for research, so that we can avoid Far Expansion Company’s scrutiny.”

"Okay, bring it over. I'll set off right away."

After leaving these words, flames erupted around Xi Heng again, and his body turned into tiny specks of light. Following the intelligence sent by the other party, he flew to the outer city stronghold of the Yuansu Company.

Exactly five minutes later, the girl reappeared in the courtyard.

With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed his spatial abilities, releasing a pure white, unfinished juvenile spirit creation and a capsule-shaped incubation chamber filled with pale blue liquid.

"Done." Xi Heng clapped his hands, feeling as if it were a piece of cake.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 310, The Spirit Contained by Resentment

Afterwards, Xi Heng spent a few minutes stacking the remaining building puzzle modules from the previous purchase into a white experimental house on the open space behind the courtyard.

Humming a song, she then placed the small, unfinished spirit creation into the nurturing room.

After it was completed, the girl clapped her hands and waited for the Great Spirit to come and help her study a solution to the problem of the lifespan of the spirit creation.

During this time, a figure slowly walked up from behind.

Yin Wanluan, who had resumed his cultivation and had been in seclusion for several days, heard the commotion she made in the back courtyard and curiously left his prepared cultivation room to approach.

"This is... another little house? It looks like a tin box." she saw.

"This is enough for convenience," Xi Heng waved his hand. "After all, I haven't done any architectural repairs."

"What's this white room used for? Is it an alchemy room?" Yin Wanluan asked curiously after looking around.

“Do some research, for example, study the principles of spirit creation. Since we’ve come to this world, let’s also take the opportunity to understand the things in this world better,” Xi Heng replied simply.

"Hmm? I don't think you look like a researcher." The other person glanced at Xi Heng again.

"Just doing something casually since I had nothing else to do."

The girl snapped her fingers, and a faint light appeared in front of her.

The light spontaneously drew some array patterns with common functions such as sound insulation and heat insulation, and floated to the surface of the building in front of it and stuck to it.

With a perfect fit, the surface of the iron box building also features many intricate patterns.

Curious, Yin Wanluan approached and opened the door to find the room empty except for a capsule-shaped device resembling an infiltration chamber. Inside lay a young spirit girl, her body entirely white, with obvious cracks at the joints of her structural components. Unlike the other spirit creations outside, which were so natural that they were indistinguishable from real people, she was not a spirit creation.

“This really needs to be studied…” She turned to look at the white-haired girl in front of the door and asked, “Is there some huge secret hidden among the spirit creations of this world?”

"Who knows?" Xi Heng shrugged.

Before a promotion, her answer would be, "Probably not."

However, after scanning the awakened spirit body with her Nascent Soul vision, she also had some doubts.

There is no 'soul' inside the spirit creation—this is no different from ordinary puppetry magic.

However, the spirit within is extremely similar to that of mortals, and even with the analytical abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator, no obvious difference can be seen—at most, some subtle differences can be glimpsed due to the absence of the soul, but overall, it is not a qualitative difference.

Yin Wanluan walked towards the capsule incubation chamber inside the house and slowly began to speak:

"The first time I saw these spirit beings in this world, I felt that they were too similar to humans. I thought it was because my mind was too old-fashioned in this world, so I couldn't understand them at first... But even now, after seeing so many new things, creating some paintings on the array network and becoming somewhat famous, I can be considered to have integrated into this world, but I still find the spirit beings strange."

She gently ran her right hand along the transparent surface of the cultured vessel, gazing at the tiny human figures within, which resembled plaster sculptures, and murmured:

"It looks so much like a human."

Xi Heng had heard this before, then blinked and asked a question that seemed unrelated to the present situation:

"You just said that you are creating paintings on the web and that you are already famous?"

"Hmm? Hmm." Yin Wanluan blinked.

"What is this drawing? Why didn't you mention it before? What's the name? Let me search it up."

The other person sighed, "Weren't we talking about spirit creation?"

“The things about you are obviously more interesting, so hurry up and tell me,” Xi Heng urged.

"Hmm..." Yin Wanluan hesitated for a moment, pinching her chin, her eyes flashing twice over Xi Heng's body, before she coughed lightly and said, "It's better not to say."

"Could it be... that Wan Luan drew something that she can't tell anyone around her?" Xi Heng directly voiced his thoughts.

"That's not the case; they're just paintings about hell."

"Really?" the girl asked skeptically.

“At least my main account is for this,” Yin Wanluan said. “Yuanyuan Huanyu Company, which deals with virtual games, even approached me for a collaboration, inviting me to work together on the world view for the next version.”

"...Then what is the alt account for?" Xi Heng's focus was different from what the other person was thinking.

As soon as he said this, Yin Wanluan turned his head and naturally began to examine the spiritual entity before him:

"Since this house is being built for the research of spirit creations, would you mind if I participated?"

Xi Heng blinked, wanting to press further, but seeing the other's obvious evasiveness, he finally clicked his tongue and got down to business:

"It shouldn't be necessary. Neither you nor I know much about spirit creations. For research, I invited an awakened spirit creation with self-awareness to come here. She has made considerable achievements in the field of spirit creations, and I think she will make some progress soon."

"A spirit creation with self-awareness... Is it the same spirit creation that was said to harm people a while ago? Is it safe?"

"Safety is the last thing we need to worry about," Xi Heng shook his head.

“That’s true, with our cultivation levels, we don’t need to worry about it at all.” Yin Wanluan nodded.

Xi Heng continued, "Besides, you've only recently started cultivating, so it's best not to get distracted by these external matters. If you discover anything in the future, I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay." The other party agreed and turned back towards the training room.

Halfway there, Xi Heng's voice came from behind:

"Tell me your drawing account nickname before you leave—"

Yin Wanluan sighed softly, paused, and casually clicked a few times in front of her, her fingertips outlining a burst of inspiration.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Heng received a message notification from the network that was of particular interest to him.

She immediately clicked on it and saw that it was a link. After opening it, she found that it led to the account of an artist named 'Bai Yanyou'.

Xi Hengzhi doesn't pay much attention to social media platforms that don't involve high-level cultivators. He only opens them sporadically to check the news, and he's not very skilled at using them.

Slowly scrolling through the profile of this account, I read the somewhat melancholic poems and descriptions, and saw a woman's portrait outlined by a few pale gold and white lines.

Scrolling down further, you'll find Yin Wanluan's works online—a series of landscape paintings.
