Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Suddenly, he noticed something moving and turned to look.

Behold, a pale skeleton was reforming itself beside the center of the explosion, supporting its flesh as it stood up.

"...As expected of the Great Vengeance, is he still alive?" Xi Heng stared at the other party, casually conjuring up a longsword of resentment fire and spinning it.

The skeleton continued to regenerate, its head adorned with antlers and a pure white robe by a dark, resentful aura, and it pulled out a scepter to support its frail body.

The pale face beneath half a deer's head spoke: "You clearly received a gift from the Black Tide, so why are you disrupting the grand plan?"

"What gift? I didn't feel anything." Xi Heng yawned and said, "Anyway, you guys don't need to come to Xiping. Other cities are fine, but with me here, it won't do."

“Things from outside cannot be trusted…” The other person shook his head and tapped the ground with his scepter.

In the firelight, the scattered and fragmented spirits reassembled, transforming into various forms of evil ghosts.

"Still want to fight?" the girl said casually. "You should be able to tell that I am already in the late stage of Nascent Soul. Even if ten more of me came, you still wouldn't be able to win."

“The great grudge will not disappear.” The other party’s voice was hoarse: “Our demise is only equivalent to falling asleep, and we will be reborn soon… And if I die here, the Black Tide will come here after destroying Changping.”

You cannot escape, nor can you get away.

Having said that, Bai Nie raised his scepter and ordered the vengeful ghosts to charge forward.

"Is that so?" Xi Heng released his sword energy and killed several ghosts and monsters, then said, "Then when the Black Tide comes, I'll take care of it too."

The enemy let out a few hoarse laughs, then transformed into black smoke and surged forth—

……

Volume 1: Chapter 320, Ultimately

The golden light emanating from the divine tree was weak and could no longer cover the entire city as it had in the past.

The tree trunk has many black lines climbing on its surface, like streaks of asphalt flowing, which gradually form a hideous pattern resembling the face of a demon, slowly changing as the black lines flow.

The demon's eyes widened as time passed, turning towards where Xi Heng was.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, the girl moved with swift, interlaced steps, wielding a sharp sword as she charged forward to strike.

The few vengeful spirits that had just gathered were instantly scattered by the sharp blades, falling into the surrounding sea of ​​fire and never able to regroup.

The sword flashed again, and before him, another great vengeful spirit transformed into a pale, deer-antlered humanoid figure wielding a staff, striking with incredible speed, almost bending the staff in its hand.

clatter--

The white staff was quite hard; when they struck, there was only a crisp sound, and the sword energy failed to cut it in two.

As his opponent advanced with a thrusting staff, Xi Heng sidestepped and dodged, simultaneously unleashing a counterattack with a sword strike from the side.

The sword light swept across, causing the surrounding flames to tilt and bow their heads.

Upon impact, a series of cracking sounds from bones rang out.

The enemy's entire body shattered into hundreds of hard bones, which then reformed as the sword energy passed by.

With each move, Xi Heng could shatter the enemy into pieces, but in just a second or two, the enemy would be back to normal.

After using five sword moves, the girl impatiently covered her blade with resentful flames powerful enough to distort space. Her figure turned fiery red, and she instantly appeared beside her enemy.

Immediately, with a speed that the opponent could not react to, he unleashed a sword strike that twisted space in an instant.

Crimson flames immediately covered the opponent's entire body. Although it was also a sword move, this sword move was not as rough and powerful as the previous moves.

It no longer caused a howling wind or a resounding boom, and even the sound of swords chiming was faint and hard to hear.

Although the scale is small, the actual threat is far greater than before.

The flames of resentment clung to the enemy's entire body like bone-eating insects, impossible to extinguish, and grew ever larger.

After covering his entire body, the space covered by flames twisted into a vortex as Xi Heng's outstretched left hand turned slightly.

Those pale skeletons could no longer be separated or reassembled; instead, they were squeezed and broken apart by the spatial vortex.

The pressure of the space was almost unstoppable, and the vortex twisted hundreds of bones into a strange circle without any hindrance, and then continued to shrink.

As the crushing continued, the bone turned into powder, which then solidified into smooth, round objects after a short while.

When the space was compressed to its extreme, Xi Heng opened his left hand, and the original antler skull was crushed into a strange, shiny black and yellowish crystal in a few seconds.

The crystal fell and was caught by the girl; its appearance was almost indistinguishable from a real natural gemstone.

She twirled it between her fingers and then put it into her storage ring.

Looking around, there were no more enemies blocking their way.

"Is it really that easy for me to settle scores with a major grudge now..." she muttered to herself.

Once the Great Vengeful Spirit's body is destroyed, it only needs to be refined with fire over a period of time to be considered resolved.

However, Xi Heng has no intention of continuing his cultivation of resentment at the moment. After defeating his opponent, he only thinks about what he just heard.

If this great grievance fails to engulf Xiping, the distant Black Tide will turn towards this place after capturing Changpingjing.

The threat has not been eliminated; on the contrary, it has become increasingly powerful.

"However, the Black Tide isn't moving fast. Even though it has breached Changping now, it will still take some time to move here..." Xi Heng thought:

"In this short period of time, I should try my best to improve my own strength."

Although, at present, no one in the world can resist the Black Tide.

Unless a deeply hidden Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appears, the destruction of Xiping City seems inevitable.

If there were truly Nascent Soul cultivators who still cared about the safety of this world, they should have come out long ago when Changping Capital suffered its calamity.

Logically speaking, Xiping has no chance of opposing the Kuroshio Current.

But within that city, there was someone who defied all conventions.

"At the speed of the Black Tide's movement, it may arrive in seven days," the girl murmured.

“Only a Nascent Soul cultivator has a chance to defeat it, but now the spiritual energy in the city has been greatly depleted and the divine tree has been severely damaged. Let alone cultivating a new Nascent Soul cultivator, this concentration of spiritual energy cannot even reach the level of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.”

Xi Heng turned his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of fire, and saw that the surface of the divine tree was obviously dilapidated.

Although the black lines shrank due to the pushing and pressing of the black mist and the suppression of the golden spiritual light, the divine tree itself had clearly decayed considerably.

"If I want to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, besides acquiring cultivation techniques, I also need to create a cultivation world with abundant and rich spiritual energy, preferably far surpassing the former Changping Capital..."

"As long as I keep reloading the game and stuffing powerful items with abundant spiritual energy into my inventory, I should be able to do that."

She wanted to use the divine tree as a base, but the divine tree in Xiping City was already in a state of decay, and the spiritual power in the white flames of the Pure Fire Realm was probably comparable to it.

This dilapidated sacred tree is clearly unusable.

"We need to think of another way..."

Xi Heng slowly walked through the thousands of meters of ruins covered in flames.

The leader of the great resentment has disappeared, and the black mist has returned to the surrounding wasteland as an invisible, eerie aura.

Meanwhile, the great grievance within the divine tree ahead was being sealed away again by Jin You, enveloped in spiritual light. The wailing and howling of ghosts from all directions dissipated, and a few human voices could be heard from the ruins of the outer city—the mortals who had survived the black mist calling for help from one another.

She ignored them, her figure flashed like fire, and she crossed thousands of meters back to the platform on the divine tree, returning to the side behind Jin You.

As he watched the other party weave golden threads from the willow branches of the divine tree to mend the damaged areas of the divine tree, Xi Heng moved closer.

He began by explaining what he currently knew:

"The vengeful spirits have temporarily retreated... but soon there will likely be another black tide attacking Changpingjing. That thing is vast and enormous, and no one below the Nascent Soul stage can stop it. Even the defensive spells released by the Supreme Divine Tree cannot cause any ripples."

As soon as the words fell, Jin You paused his movements for a moment.

The woman, dressed in a long robe with golden dragon patterns and a hint of dragon might around her, remained silent for a moment before saying, "Changping also sent a message saying that if attacked, we can abandon the city and flee far away... It seems that the situation is more serious than I thought."

“It’s not just severe, it’s practically the end of the world.” Xi Heng’s tone remained natural.

Jin You turned around and asked, "Is there still even a sliver of hope?"

"Logically speaking, it's impossible." Xi Heng waved his hand and said, "Unless a Nascent Soul expert descends from the sky right now to directly defeat the Black Tide, there's no way."

The other person pursed their lips, lowered their eyes, and said, "Then, what should we do?"

“Generally speaking, one should flee this place, find a safe place to isolate oneself, live in seclusion and never appear in the world again, or take the best flying boat, stock up on a large number of spirit stones and leave, crossing the starry sea and void to find another world to settle down in.” The white-haired girl made a gesture of counting on her fingers as she spoke.

"..." Jin You silently looked at the sacred tree behind him, put his hands together, and subconsciously made a praying gesture.

Xi Heng then spoke up: "However, I do have a little trick up my sleeve."

"Hmm?" The other person tilted their head, their eyes seemingly showing a lack of expectation.

After all, only Nascent Soul cultivators could withstand the impending black tide.

She thought for a moment, then asked, "Does Xi Heng have a way to contact Nascent Soul cultivators?"

"No." The girl shrugged.

“Then let’s think about how to obtain the coordinates of other realms…” She shook her head and said, “Although you came from an outer realm and naturally have some coordinates to go to, it is still quite difficult to find another realm with sufficient spiritual energy.”

"Does Kim Yu want to come with me too?"

"There's no other way to go, is there..." The other person bowed slightly towards the sacred tree and closed their eyes in prayer.

“Yes,” Xi Heng said easily. “Just give me a little time… well, even less than a little time is fine, as long as I can save Xiping.”

She can save the game immediately and directly read a previous save file to execute her plan.

Jin You paused for a moment, then turned back and squinted slightly, saying, "Don't do anything with serious side effects."

Xi Heng poked his chin with his fingertip and thought for a moment:

"There shouldn't be any side effects, but it's really hard to tell you the details of how to do it... In short, don't worry about the black tide that will come later, I will try to repel it."

"If there really is some kind of miraculous method that can bring such a huge improvement in a short period of time, how could it not have extremely serious side effects?" The other party sighed and shook his head: "You are just a traveler from afar. This world is just one of the scenery along the way for you. There is no need to risk too much to become a savior of the world... We have not even been able to save ourselves, so why should you, a traveler, risk your life?"

"Not really." Xi Heng tried to ease the tension: "The main thing is to cultivate and increase your strength. Once you're strong enough, I'll just lend you a hand. That's all."

"Really?"

"So, to achieve this, I need a way to make the divine tree completely submit and become my possession." Xi Heng wanted to go back in time and keep the still intact divine tree in his inventory.

However, she currently doesn't know how to store such a massive object that is thousands of meters tall.

Simply touching it with her hands wouldn't be enough; she had a feeling that she needed to acquire ownership of the item in order to save it when loading the save file.

For example, the small divine tree in one's own spiritual fire space is something that can be completely controlled and preserved.

However, that small divine tree didn't have much spiritual energy, so it wasn't very meaningful to preserve it, unlike the towering golden trees that reached into the clouds in various cities.

She initially guessed that perhaps becoming the lord of a city, like Jin You, would suffice.

Then I realized I should just ask Yoru Ima.

After asking, we can make other guesses and experiments.

"Make the divine tree completely submit..." The other party paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Desecrating the divine tree used to be a great sin of disrespect, but now that Changpingjing is in trouble, the various heavens can no longer sense the connection with the supreme divine tree, the black mist is rampant and invading, life is collapsing and the end of the world is coming... the original sin of the past may no longer be a great sin."

She took a deep breath and began to speak:

"Two hundred years ago, a city lord in the northern border region completely mastered the divine tree and used its power to prolong his life. The method he used was quite simple to describe: he used a secret treasure to seal the resentment and spirit inside the divine tree and used his Nascent Soul True Power to amplify his own divine sense and project it into it, refining it for a hundred years."

"A hundred years?" Xi Heng couldn't wait that long.

“Refining it for a hundred years is a method of complete control. If you only want to make it submit, perhaps you can start from the aspect of spiritual resentment.” Jin You suggested: “For example, when you burned the divine tree, you already put it into a state of chaos. Then, by using a spiritual treasure to seal the spiritual resentment within it and make it lose consciousness, you should be able to make the unconscious divine tree submit.”

"Oh, okay." The girl carefully noted it down, then asked, "Are there any such magical treasures?"

"No..." The other party shook his head: "Because the divine tree itself has the ability to seal away resentment, no city would spend a lot of resources to create another high-level spiritual treasure that can target great resentment. The Purple Yuan Relic that you and I used when we fought against great resentment in the Xiping Divine Tree is one of the best among them."

The white-haired girl recalled for a moment and said, "But that stuff has already been used up, hasn't it?"

"It was used twice before, and there's one more chance to use it." Jin You's ring flashed with purple light as she took out a purple bead and handed it over: "Although this item cannot seal the entire Great Grudge, it can at least provide some assistance."

"Thank you very much." Xi Heng took it in his hand, examined it, and then stored it in his spiritual fire space with a flash of flame.

At that moment, a sharp cry came from below.

The girl used her spiritual sense to look and saw that Yin Wanluan had transformed into a fire phoenix, soaring up and flapping its wings to fly a thousand meters high, approaching the platform.

As they approached within a hundred meters, the fiery phoenix feathers slowly dissipated, revealing a blonde woman whose appearance resembled Xi Heng's.

Jin You subconsciously took half a step back, giving up the platform space.

As Yin Wanluan landed, she glanced at him again, deliberately revealing a warm and friendly smile, before turning to lean towards Xi Heng:

"The enemy has retreated, so we are safe for now."

“But the Kuroshio Current is coming.” Xi Heng said, “I may have to leave for a while to prepare for dealing with the Kuroshio Current.”
