Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

A year later, he naturally progressed from the late Nascent Soul stage to his peak.

The next stage is to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Logically speaking, once you reach the peak, you should be able to try to advance at any time. However, right now, you only have enough cultivation, but your spiritual and physical strength has not yet reached the extreme of this realm."

Xi Heng muttered to himself, "It still needs to be refined slowly..."

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators have emerged in the central part of the Great Zhao, including Chen Fenghuo and Zhao Chuxiao, who received direct guidance from Xi Heng.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators can freely leave the divine tree's shroud and travel to all corners of the world.

Zhao Chuxiao then personally led his troops north again, capturing a large area of ​​territory and cities in the northern part of the capital.

Since the defeat and death of the Gray Dragon, Yan Meng has lost much of her spirit.

Wherever the Zhao army went, it could occupy that territory.

Continuing north, until reaching Yumen, the original border of the country, we encountered few obstacles.

Without hesitation, she led her army across the border and continued northward into the boundless grasslands.

They traveled for fifteen days straight, frequently encountering the Yanmeng tribe along the way, which they easily defeated with a little magic.

After arriving at the important sacrificial site of Yan Meng, the main city of Langfeng Balin, the Zhao army headquarters suffered a fierce counterattack from the enemy.

However, once the cultivators used their magic and the soldiers formed a large formation specifically to counter the cavalry's charge, the counterattack gradually subsided.

Yan Meng was powerless to fight back, and the Zhao army forcibly entered the city to plunder its spoils, seizing tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as countless gold, silver and jewels, woolen fabrics, grain and dairy products.

Yan Mengren gathered the spoils of war from his invasions in this main city. Now that the Great Zhao has taken it, looting will be easy and convenient.

After three days of raiding, the army returned with its spoils carried by oxcarts.

After the war, morale in the army was high, and the decades-long chaotic war finally came to an end, and peace would follow.

Every general and soldier held high hopes for the future, and what followed was sure to be an unprecedented golden age.

……

The northern frontier was returned to the territory of the Great Zhao, and officials and soldiers were sent to garrison there, bringing with them the latest grain varieties developed by the cultivators, which would greatly increase crop yields thereafter.

A year has passed, people's livelihoods have gradually improved, and the world is at peace.

Zhao Chuxiao returned to Xinjing Xiuzhou. With foreign affairs settled, the court began to reorganize its domestic affairs.

The most important issue is how to govern the ever-increasing number and growing strength of cultivators in cultivation grounds, and what new policies should be established to ensure their obedience.

After a discussion with Chen Fenghuo, Zhao Chuxiao finally decided to seal the cultivation secrets and several advancement methods that Xi Heng had mentioned to the royal family and the high-ranking members of the Pure Fire Sect, so as to ensure that the royal family could control the highest combat power in this world.

In addition, cultivation resources such as immortal herbs and spiritual medicines were restricted and gradually transferred to government monopoly.

They also planned out the main affairs of each city under the divine tree's influence and attempted to mint spiritual coins to be used as currency among cultivators...

Once such new policies are established, they become reality over time.

If any inconsistencies are found, or if a better approach is discovered during implementation, changes will be made promptly.

After thirty years, the new policies concerning cultivators in the Great Zhao Kingdom have been perfected, and there is a sense that the golden age of cultivation from a thousand years ago is gradually being restored.

Xi Heng has been cultivating for so long, and when he woke up, he only saw the world had changed... the world had turned into a vast expanse of water.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 332, Chichi Wuxing

The Great Zhao Dynasty, divine intervention for fifty years.

The Golden Tree still shines as brightly as it did when it first appeared fifty years ago, as if time has left no trace on it.

Meanwhile, at the base of the tree trunk, new cities have sprung up over time, becoming increasingly prosperous thanks to generations of cultivators and mortals.

Among the hundreds of tree cities built over the past few decades, countless storms and events have occurred, and it is unknown who was planning and designing them, or who went to great lengths to achieve them.

The sacred tree remained unmoved, radiating light steadily like the sun in the sky, even more steadfast than the high mountains.

Each morning it gradually brightens, and the light fades as night falls.

This process was repeated for nearly 20,000 days, until this point.

Xi Heng slowly awoke beneath the most special divine tree in the center of the cultivation grounds.

Thirty years ago, she reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

For the next thirty years, he focused on consolidating his cultivation level and training his spiritual soul, physical strength, mental power, and other abilities to keep up with the development of his cultivation realm.

To date, 70% of the work has been completed.

After resting for a while, Xi Heng used his spiritual sense to look at the nearest city, Hengming City.

It is evident that this originally built city under the trees has become quite large and prosperous.

The cultivators flew back and forth on their flying swords, while the roads were bustling with traffic and pedestrians.

This city has no concept of night; all the shops are open all day long, and there is never a quiet time.

The city is mostly inhabited by cultivators, and the few mortals are brought by cultivators to do odd jobs related to cultivation. The entire city was built for cultivators, and all aspects of its management are related to them.

In this city, spirit rice has replaced millet, spirit wine has replaced mortal wine, and transactions are conducted using spirit-minted coins issued by the Great Zhao government.

It was completely different from Jinshi, which was not far away; it seemed like two different worlds.

Mortals without spiritual roots toil away in other ordinary cities, but those with a spiritual root can enter this tree city and transcend the mortal realm.

"Dividing people into two types based on spiritual power—is that ultimately a good thing or a bad thing for the world?" Xi Heng thought to himself as he looked around.

He then grabbed a book from inside the city, which contained records of past official gazettes and current events, and began to read it.

Find the year you started your secluded retreat and turn the pages one by one.

Gradually, it was learned that after Chu Xiao completed the planning of the new policies for the cultivators and fulfilled his mission, he announced his abdication and handed over the throne to a prince of the same generation.

He himself went into seclusion to cultivate himself, and no one knows where he is now.

Some say she remained in the imperial palace, while others say she went to live in seclusion on that sacred mountain. In any case, since then, it has been difficult to find any news or trace of this wise empress.

Xi Heng understood, knowing that Zhao Chuxiao had excellent cultivation talent and had received his guidance, so she might be able to achieve the Golden Core stage in the future.

However, if one sits on the throne for many years, one will inevitably be disturbed by various political affairs, which would disrupt one's pure mind for cultivation. If one does not yield the throne to a worthy successor and cultivate in peace, one will probably only reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment by the time one dies, with a lifespan of two hundred years—while the lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator is as long as seven or eight hundred years.

After ascending the throne, it is a perfectly normal choice to abdicate and hand over power to a more worthy successor after completing one's duties.

"Legend has it that there are cultivation methods specifically prepared for emperors, which can absorb the dynasty's fortune for one's own cultivation. If such a method existed, perhaps there would be no need for this." Xi Heng thought to himself.

Turn the page on this important historical event and move on to the next.

The Pure Fire Cult's influence has spread throughout the entire realm, and the Crimson Goddess has been hailed as a saint of this era.

Neighboring countries rushed to become vassals of the Great Zhao, hoping to gain only a few drops of spiritual energy.

Great Zhao once again became the center of the Chonghai region, its domestic resources became increasingly abundant, and its trade was admired and envied by other countries.

However, there is no trace of Senior Sister Hongmiao and Junior Sister Hongji in the history books... They are not protagonists like Zhao Chuxiao or Chen Fenghuo, but just ordinary people in the tide of the times.

The girl quietly flipped through the book in her hands, and then a flash of fire burned it all.

"Should we go for a stroll in the mortal realm?" she wondered.

Afterwards, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't stay in this world any longer, so there's no need to dwell on it."

After casually tending to the surrounding flowers, he returned to the pavilion to continue his practice.

……

Three years later, a woman dressed in red and white approached the place.

It was Senior Sister Hongmiao, whose appearance had changed slightly, who entered the maze and arrived at the courtyard gate.

Xi Heng awoke from his cultivation and, just as he was about to greet and welcome them, realized what was happening.

But all I saw was my senior sister squat down, quietly leave the feather-shaped hairpin in front of the door, and then slowly turn and leave.

It seems that she came here only to return the item, rather than to meet specifically or to recharge this ability—at this moment, the feather hairpin still had one more chance to be used, which Senior Sister Hongmiao gave up on her own.

Xi Heng then took back his words and followed the other person's wishes without interfering.

Decades later, during a meeting, the two were only a hundred meters apart, yet they failed to make eye contact.

After his senior sister left, Xi Heng calmed himself down and continued to meditate and cultivate the "Sun and Moon Selfless Ten Thousand Zhang Technique," refining and mastering all its various spells and operating methods.

This Transformation Technique appears to be a golden light magic, which involves manipulating golden light for offense and defense, transformation, restoration, control, and other functions.

The various magical abilities recorded within cover a wide range, including cloud-climbing and earth-shrinking, summoning ghosts and souls, controlling wind and rain to create clones, turning stone into gold, driving away disasters and dispelling evil, and so on...

It can be said that all the power that ordinary people believe a cultivator should possess is contained in this cultivation method, making it omnipotent.

Xi Heng has mastered all the spells below the Nascent Soul stage and has refined them to an extremely high level over several years, becoming incredibly proficient.

Recently, I have also glimpsed a deeper level of power from the appearance of this Golden Light Technique.

It is an ability that no other special ability can compare to—the Law of Time.

The girl slowly awoke from her cultivation.

Try to gather a point of golden light from your fingertips, following your intuition.

The golden light gathered and took shape, transforming into the form of a bronze mirror.

Xi Heng urged the flow of time power within his body, directing it towards the mirror surface.

Immediately afterwards, the scene of the courtyard three months ago appeared in the mirror—at that time, the flowers and plants had not yet grown to be as lush as they are now, and due to the change of seasons, most of the flowers were still in bud.

"The Nascent Soul of the Senluo Domain once said that the power of time had lost its function when the heavens collapsed... So why can I use it so smoothly?" The girl looked at the scene in the mirror and muttered to herself.

I didn't feel any blockage during use; it was as smooth as using a regular Golden Light Mantra, and I felt it was easy and natural.

By manipulating the flow of time, one can easily adjust the image in the mirror, displaying scenes from up to a year ago.

The light element within Xi Heng's body is thin; if it could be increased by a few more points, he might be able to see the past ten or even several decades ago.

Is it because the world is different? Or is it because I am too special?

In short, in her view, the zodiac signs of time were not damaged by the collapse of the heavens a thousand years ago, but instead remained stable without any damage or awkwardness.

As time flows, the image in the mirror changes rapidly.

Xi Heng thought for a moment, then turned the mirror into golden light and dispersed.

Then, facing the air in front of him, he gathered his five fingers into a claw shape and grabbed.

As the golden light enveloped them, the movement of fine dust particles in the air gradually slowed down.

This doesn't increase air resistance; rather, it genuinely slows down time in the small area in front of you by using the concept of time.

Though faint, it is real.

After two or three seconds, Xi Heng could no longer hold on and let go, restoring the current time.

The dust particles resumed their drifting speed and continued to drift naturally.

The white-haired girl stared silently at the speck of dust in the air and murmured to herself:

"Clearly, the Heavenly Dao of Time has not been broken; there is another reason why other cultivators cannot use it."

She began to speculate: "Perhaps it's related to the pause she encountered when she took someone out of the Spirit Fire Space earlier?"

"...Perhaps everyone in the world is already bound and fixed by time, and is itself within time, so they cannot use the power of time to twist time again."

"But because I have a system, I exist outside of time, which is why I can utilize the power of time?"

In a short time, this was the only guess she could make.

After casting the two spells, her remaining power of time is depleted and needs to be slowly restored.

She thought to herself, "Although it can operate, its current function is quite minor. If used in combat, it is not as effective as a few wisps of spiritual fire."

"To be of any use in actual combat, we need to acquire more Time Attributes... but where in the world is there so much Time left?"

Even the Jin Yuan Sect of the Senluo Domain has given up cultivating time. If the Senluo Domain doesn't have this, then there's no need to mention the other known realms.

With her current cultivation level, she should no longer be able to access any more power of time.

Perhaps retrieving that original Five Elements Spirit Fruit would be a solution, but the fruit doesn't contain much of the Time element... and it's unknown whether Time Power from the same source can be perfectly integrated.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Heng temporarily put this thought aside.

She already possesses the extremely powerful time-manipulation ability of the save/load system, so there's no need to immediately begin seeking the Timeless Realm.
