Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"The environment is not bad, but there are not enough people..."

After muttering to himself, Xi Heng was enveloped in a flash of fire, and his true form returned to reality.

The cultivation room was filled with a faint fragrance, and spiritual light drifted slowly in the air like fireflies.

She stabilized the fluctuations of spiritual energy within her body and returned to her normal state.

"Now that I've reached the Nascent Soul stage, the next stage should be the Deity Transformation stage..." the girl thought to herself, tapping her chin. "However, I don't yet have a cultivation technique strong enough to reach the Deity Transformation stage. This Firewood Cultivation Technique can at most help me reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"But... it would be quite difficult to obtain a Nascent Soul cultivation technique in this world, wouldn't it?"

A flash of purple light appeared at his fingertips as he retrieved his contribution token from his spatial ring.

The infusion of spiritual energy first revealed the contribution points.

After rotating it again, the list of exchange shops finally appeared.

All items related to the Divine Transformation realm are listed at the very bottom of the list, in the most expensive section.

Upon seeing the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique priced at more than ten times that of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, Xi Heng silently closed his eyes.

I took a deep breath before continuing to look at it carefully.

There are only two types of transformation techniques on the exchange list: one is the wood-attribute "Azure Cloud Longevity Technique," and the other is the attributeless "Sound-Generation Hundred Aspects True Scripture"...

"Neither of them suits me very well, and besides, they don't seem to be considered high-end techniques among Nascent Soul cultivation methods." She shook her head.

"If I continue to run the company, I might be able to redeem one in a hundred years. However, if I cultivate an unsuitable technique, my success rate in future advancements will be greatly reduced... But it doesn't matter, I can start over if I fail."

"However, if there is a chance, I will try to find out if there are any other Nascent Soul cultivation techniques in this world. If I am destined, it would be best to find a fire-attribute cultivation technique that belongs to me."

As she muttered to herself, the white-haired girl clicked her tongue:

"If there were a cultivation method that leads directly to the highest level from the beginning, then we could just keep practicing and not have to worry about anything else."

"No... we still need to find a spiritual vein with a sufficiently high cultivation level, which is a bit troublesome."

Xi Heng pondered for a moment, thinking that he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage and would need a long time to reach the Divine Transformation stage. So he put this goal aside for the time being, got up and left the cultivation room, and went to the Spirit Creation Research Institute in the backyard.

During the year of her cultivation, she also visited the temple several times during her breaks.

Previously, Da Ling had not been able to achieve any results in his research; it is unknown how things are now.

The girl had barely stepped out of the training room when a flash of fire took her inside the research room.

The walls and floor made of galvanized iron remained clean, but the interior was no longer so spacious. Instead, many facilities and machines that Xi Heng couldn't quite understand had been added, and a passage leading to the underground had appeared in the corner.

Clearly, Ningzi has made many changes here over the past year.

At this moment, the short-haired woman in the white robe was in front of a research module, observing several small structures made of spiritual light.

As you move your finger, the structure rotates, revealing the complex array of patterns on its surface.

"Any results yet?" Xi Heng suddenly appeared and moved closer to her.

The other person turned around and said after a moment:

"There is a way to extend lifespan, but at present, this method has huge side effects that cannot be mitigated."

"You've found a solution in just over a year, that's not slow." Xi Heng nodded. "What are the side effects?"

The other person's gaze darkened, and he sighed softly, saying, "You have to die once first."

"Eh?"

"The lifespan limitation of the spirit creation is deeper and closer to the source than I expected... To change this limitation, it is necessary to directly change a more fundamental logic. To do this is almost equivalent to reshaping a person."

She pressed her temples in distress, as if she were a human, and said, "I have been trying my best to find other ways, but after searching around, this is the only way that can be done."

"Only after death can one achieve immortality?" Xi Heng muttered to himself.

"This kind of death is roughly equivalent to the legendary reincarnation, at most retaining a small portion of dreamlike memory fragments, and the spirit creation will also lose the ability to communicate with other spirit creations..." Ningzi said softly.

“I have created an immortal spirit in this way, and whether it was an accident or it was meant to be this way, she has also become an awakened being.”

"Hmm..." The white-haired girl tilted her head: "Where?"

The other person took a step back and spread their hands to the left.

A moment later, a little girl wearing a thin white top walked out of the basement on the left, timidly placing one hand on her chest as she slowly approached.

Xi Heng glanced at her a few times and then asked, "Has this person already achieved immortality? How long can she live?"

"As long as the physical body is stable enough to support the normal flow of spiritual light within the body, it can live a long life... Her external structural parts can be replaced, but the internal true spirit storage components that cannot be replaced, as long as no mistakes are made, will have a lifespan of more than five hundred years."

"So long, like an elf." She looked at the little girl's overly delicate face and said subconsciously.

"Elves? Monsters?" Da Ling didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

"You could call it a kind of monster," Xi Heng replied casually, moving closer to the fair-skinned little girl and reaching out to rub her head.

By the way, I also detected the other person's aura, and found that the aura was mainly stored in the brain and was quite active.

“She is indeed an awakened being… The spirituality of other spirit beings outside is quite calm,” she said.

"Tell me, should we use this kind of immortality method on those children?" the Great Spirit asked slowly.

“Of course we should. Even if they don’t want to, they can wait until their physical lifespan is almost up before using it.” Xi Heng thought for a moment and said, “But if there are those who want to die a natural death, then let them be.”

The other party sighed softly, clearly hesitant.

The little girl, a newly created spirit, looked around before snuggling close to Ningzi.

"Speaking of which," Xi Heng said, looking at the spark of inspiration in the little girl's mind, "has it been discovered where the consciousness of the spirit creation comes from?"

“At first I thought they were like me, created by instilling a simulated consciousness into a personality.” Ningzi shook her head: “But after more than a year of research, I found that this is not the case… Their consciousness is closer to that of humans. It should be a special spiritual consciousness created by combining with artificial consciousness technology in a way that I don’t quite understand, through a cultivator’s method.”

"Is it a cultivator's method? But even I, a Nascent Soul cultivator, don't quite understand it." Xi Heng looked at the special spiritual light in the little girl's mind, unable to discern what it was.

"The practices of the Spirit Blood Sect have always been bizarre, and the Spirit Creation Body is their culmination of creation; it's normal that it's difficult to understand," said the Great Spirit.

"I just don't understand why Farsight Corporation would go to such lengths to develop this special method when all that's needed is to insert a simulated consciousness, and even abandon the crucial function of being able to easily replace the simulated consciousness..."

Xi Heng stared at the little girl's timid appearance, remaining silent for a long time.

A guess popped into her mind: perhaps the method of infusing spiritual light and consciousness was not created in order to create a spiritual entity.

Instead, they obtained this method first, which gave rise to the plan of creating a spirit body.

“It’s not a simulated consciousness, nor is it artificial intelligence… what is it?” Xi Heng murmured to himself.

"I don't know. We can only continue our research and try to find out more gradually." Da Ling said helplessly, and then brought up another topic:

"Through this period of research, I have clearly understood the various components, structure and function of the spirit creation, and deduced the method of production... I plan to replicate a small production line for spirit creation here underground."

"You want to create your own spirit body?" The girl came to her senses and blinked.

"It's only for research, because I can't replicate the spark of inspiration in the children's minds, so I can't actually produce it," the Great Spirit said calmly.

"Furthermore, artificial intelligence like myself, created by humans, is logically inclined to experience the feeling of creating others."

"If it can be replicated, then it can be mass-produced?"

"Theoretically yes."

"Then I should add 'Searching for the truth about the consciousness of the spirit creation' to my list of tasks." Xi Heng wanted to make the Spirit Fire Space more lively; with only five or six hundred people, it was far too empty.

If you can master the method of creating spirit entities, you can achieve this.

Volume 1: Chapter 312, Seamless Harmony

"Hey-"

With a muffled sound, the heavy machinery, freshly unpacked, was transported to the research room at the back of the courtyard.

Outside the tin house, the airship carrying large packages gradually rose and moved away. The array in the courtyard opened and closed, leaving Xi Heng to use his spiritual light to move large pieces of equipment into the research room.

The aura surrounding the object gradually dissipated and fell.

The girl clapped her hands, watching Ningzi pull out wires and connect several large pieces of equipment together, then casually looked around and said:

"So many things from outside are stored here?"

"The research facilities are located upstairs, while most of the equipment for creating spirit bodies is located in the basement." Ningzi quickly adjusted the equipment in front of her, and it was activated and started working in just over ten seconds.

A vial containing blue blood reagent was sent into it for testing and analysis of its components.

"Oh." Xi Heng flicked his finger and summoned more spiritual light, which transformed into a blurry blue giant hand from behind the open iron gate, easily pulling in several large pieces of machinery weighing several tons as if grabbing a beverage can.

The giant hand quickly finished its work, and the goods were sent to the floating platform and transported to the lower level, leaving only a pile of packages outside.

After a while, seeing that Da Ling was busy again and there was no room for her to intervene, she thought for a moment and then flicked her finger to summon the Nine-Tailed Fox of Vengeful Fire, giving the summoned creature a bit of spirituality, and letting the big fox stay in the research institute as a porter.

He greeted himself and returned to continue his daily practice.

She was quite busy today—first, she expanded the basement that Da Ling had previously built, and when she purchased excavation equipment in the array network as a Nascent Soul cultivator, she also received a reminder from Du Guang Pavilion, saying that there was an array underground that stabilized the city, and it was best not to dig below thirty-five meters.

Therefore, since he couldn't dig very large, Xi Heng gave up on buying equipment that could automatically create basements and template caves, and directly used his spatial abilities to roughly sweep out a rectangular underground space.

He then used his spiritual energy to create a supporting structure, attached the large jigsaw puzzle toy he had used before to the wall, connected it to a source of spiritual light and water, and purchased a small ecological device to place inside the space.

It took half an hour to complete the expansion of the two-story basement.

Now that all the equipment and parts have been purchased, the remaining transportation and assembly work can be left to the Fiery Fox.

That two- or three-meter-tall fox should be enough to get the job done—probably.

In short, I need to go back to my bedroom and rest for a while.

As she thought this, flames flashed around the white-haired girl.

The next instant, he appeared in front of the bedroom door.

He pushed open the door, smiled, and recited the name Wan Luan.

He opened his squinting eyes slightly, only to find the room empty.

"Tsk."

She turned around, closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and casually tossed her shoes aside.

"I almost forgot that she's cultivating too."

Unlike in previous years, Yin Wanluan no longer spends all day lying on her bedroom bed or in a soft velvet armchair scrolling through web pages.

Xi Heng opened his spiritual light array network and tapped around, then clicked on the only other account he was following.

Yin Wanluan's account has not been updated for a long time, and there are still many comments urging her to update at the bottom of the homepage.

The girl flipped through the pages for a while, then subconsciously said:

"While cultivators are waiting for updates, mortals might truly have to wait from youth to old age..."

Lying on her pillow, she subconsciously thought about the plight of ordinary people in this world.

If one were a mortal in this world, knowing full well the existence of immortal cultivators, yet lacking the talent to cultivate and advance, and could only watch the rumors and stories among cultivators... one would probably feel very resentful.

After feeling resentful, one either strives desperately to catch up or falls into a downward spiral.

Most ordinary people in this world choose the latter: either indulging in real-world pleasures or directly entering the virtual world to live out fabricated, beautiful lives.

"However, even among cultivators, only a handful have the potential to break free from this prison of heaven and earth." Xi Heng murmured softly, "The way of heaven is truly unfair... treating everyone the same."

"Oh, except for me," she added casually, grabbing the blanket next to her and wrapping herself in it.

Close your eyes, clear your mind, and go to sleep.

A few days later, the underground laboratory beneath the backyard was completed and began operation, attempting to create some simple parts for the Qiling Creation Body.

Mold making, material transformation... all these processes repeat themselves, just to try to reconstruct a small piece of the spirit body's skin using the data at hand.

Multiple experiments were conducted, but progress was slow.

During this time, Xi Heng also went in to observe for a while. Even an outsider like her, who was completely unfamiliar with the technology of creating spirit bodies, could easily see that with the technology that Da Ling currently possessed, it was still a very, very long way from actually creating a spirit body.

It may take many years of skill accumulation to gradually produce it.

She wasn't in a hurry, after all, she had no clue about the key technology of spiritual consciousness, and even if she successfully created a perfect physical body, she wouldn't be able to infuse it with a soul.

After observing for a while, Xi Heng and Da Ling talked briefly about the lifespan of the awakened spirit beings within the space.

Then, the flames around him flashed again, and he moved to the interior of the temple in the Spirit Fire Space.

Two awakened saintly sisters were dining there when they saw her arrive. They immediately put down their utensils and stood up to greet her.

Xi Heng walked over and looked at the table, then said:
