Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

The skyscrapers were gone, the roads and infrastructure were all destroyed, every building was ruined, and the bones of the city's residents, devoured by the black tide, were left behind.

Even the supreme divine tree, which was occupied by great resentment, could not withstand such a long battle. The entire giant tree was ground down and worn away layer by layer in the long aftershocks, and its outer trunk and inner rings were crushed into dust.

By the later stages of the war, the Changpingjing area had become exceptionally flat, as if it had been tamped hundreds of times by a rammed earth machine, while the outer area was full of pits and craters, with countless overlapping and intertwined holes, making it hundreds of times more complex than the surface of the moon.

If someone with trypophobia saw this, they might feel numb all over, nauseous, and vomit on the spot.

The last two months of the battle against the Kuroshio also passed quickly, the fog gradually faded, and the darkness disappeared layer by layer.

The golden light emitted by Xi Heng lost its target and slowly dissipated.

Once the gold and black colors had completely dissipated, the drum-like explosions also ceased.

The clear sky revealed itself, with the distant moonlight accompanied by countless stars.

As the moon sets in the west, dawn is breaking in the east.

A few wisps of clouds drifted across the sky, and the world fell into silence.

In the middle of a scorched earth, Miss Xi Heng consciously suppressed her aggressive instincts.

The fragments of those demons and monsters shattering before her eyes had reappeared too many times, and their sudden disappearance was quite unsettling for her.

She took several deep breaths before returning to her usual natural state.

Afterwards, I stayed where I was and quietly watched the new sunrise in the distance.

Turning around, the black tide had vanished, and there was no trace of resentment to be seen within a thousand miles in all directions.

Just as she had predicted before the battle, two-thirds of her stored spiritual power had been consumed—the fully-fledged Black Tide, combined with the great resentment within the Changpingjing Divine Tree, was indeed far more powerful than the incomplete Black Tide of her previous life.

But no matter how large it is, its essence remains unchanged, and it can still be defeated.

Xi Heng watched the sun rise, hang high in the sky, and then set.

As the sky darkened again, she finally calmed down her mindset, which had been filled with the urge to destroy everything she saw.

After that, he turned around and took a step, instantly teleporting to a place 10,000 meters away, and returned to the original location in the center of Changpingjing, which is now just a flat area.

Through spiritual awareness, the rift connecting to the virtual world was once again found.

The rift was now hanging hundreds of meters in the air, making Xi Heng blink.

"Was that battle just now so powerful that it pushed the terrain down by hundreds of meters...?"

She then ascended to a higher place, using her spiritual light to amplify her vision and look around, only then did she see the scene of pits and craters covering the ground.

Looking further into the distance, one can see that the entire Changping area has been blasted into a large basin.

Its interior became more desolate than any wasteland; while wastelands had a few dead trees and broken branches, this place was all charred ash.

She pondered for a moment, then left the place.

"After that, we'll take Yin Wanluan and the others to the Imaginary Realm."

The surrounding landscape changed, turning into a pitted and uneven ruin.

Take another half step, and you'll return to the most natural wilderness.

"I wonder if Jin You is willing to leave Xiping with me... She seems to value that city quite a bit."

As he muttered to himself, a sense of unreality began to creep over him.

Xi Heng looked back one more time and saw that the imaginary rift was expanding its influence.

Initially, the expansion rate of imaginary power was extremely fast, but it gradually decreased later.

As the sense of virtuality enveloped the entire Changping Basin, a new city, seemingly both real and unreal, slowly emerged in the original location of Changping Central City.

She recognized it from afar; it was the small town she had seen after entering the Imaginary Realm, where the divine trees were of equal size.

The original Changping Capital was annihilated by the Black Tide, and the cultivators within it fled into the illusory realm. Now, they have returned and reunited here as the illusory city.

The power of imaginary numbers has expanded. After re-entering this city, we should be able to proceed to the true imaginary domain...

The girl's heart stirred slightly, and her figure vanished once more.

A quarter of an hour later, they had traveled thousands of miles back to the outskirts of Xiping City.

After a year and a half of adjustment, the city has regained its former appearance and vitality. Large areas of scorched wasteland have been rebuilt into new urban areas, but they are less vibrant than before.

The great grievances of that year consumed too many lives in this city, and it will take a long time for it to truly regain its former vibrancy.

Xi Heng flickered several times before finding Jin You's location.

The surrounding scenery shifted to the room where the other person was located, the Golden Tree Room, where she was idly observing the network of Xiping City.

With a slight lift of the finger, the screen in front of me flips through the pages.

A white-haired girl suddenly appeared and approached.

It wasn't until she suddenly patted the other person's shoulder, causing Jin You's body to tremble, that she was noticed.

The other person quickly turned around, saw it was Xi Heng, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

"I'm back..."

"Hmm." Xi Heng withdrew his hand and said naturally, "The matter on the Black Tide side has been finished. It took a whole year and a half to fight. It was so troublesome."

"I really don't know how to thank you enough." The other person had mixed feelings.

"No need for thanks." The white-haired girl simply said, "Would you like to come with me to cultivate in other realms later?"

"...This city cannot do without me right now, perhaps it will be better in a hundred years." Jin You said hesitantly.

"Leave behind an avatar?" Xi Heng said.

"You can't entrust everything to an external avatar. Even if you have a way to control it, it's easy for it to betray you or replace you." Jin You shook his head: "This is the biggest taboo of the clone technique."

“That’s true.” Xi Heng recalled that he had been betrayed the first time he encountered the Black Tide.

If he hadn't successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage at that time, he might have been severely injured by this clone.

"I have to stay in Xiping, I'm sorry." The blonde girl sighed softly and turned to look at Xiping.

“No need to apologize, it’s not like we’ll never meet again. That new realm is quite close.” She then explained the illusory rift and imaginary realm she encountered in Changping Capital.

After exchanging a few words, Jin You looked puzzled again, not quite understanding why there would be a world similar to a virtual game.

Hearing that the Imaginary Domain was merely a fleeting reflection in the eyes of an immortal, his suspicions deepened:

"The power of a true immortal... can it really be this strong...?"

"Who knows? In any case, there is indeed such a world built on a fantasy. Why don't you come with me after you retire?" Xi Heng extended an invitation.

The other person pursed their lips, not agreeing immediately, but instead asking:

"Come to think of it, I've never asked you why you cultivate."

"What's the point of cultivation?" Xi Heng tilted his head.

"Whether burdened by expectations, praying for immortality, seeking supreme power, or sensing the workings of heaven and earth... there's always a reason for cultivation." Jin You wanted to ask this special person before him what his desires were. "And what is Xi Heng's reason?"

"If I had to choose one from these, it would be for immortality," she said casually, tapping her cheek.

"You have lived for ten thousand years, which should be considered immortal, right?" Jin You stared at him with pale golden eyes, his round pupils instantly transforming into the vertical pupils of a dragon before switching back.

“No, even ten thousand years is finite, and one day we will grow old and die,” Xi Heng replied. “I think eternity is better.”

"Is that so..." She stared at him for a long time, her eyes flickering with complex emotions, as if she were thinking about something.

After a moment, he shook his head inexplicably: "Something just doesn't feel right."

"Huh?" Xi Heng didn't quite understand what the other person was talking about.

“There is a special aura about you… an aura that seems to be related to some kind of power of a true dragon.” Jin You finally said, “Ever since you advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, I have been able to see some vague things from the aura by using the dragon energy, such as the transformation of time and space, or that intangible and invisible… fate.”

"Huh?" I don't understand even more.

“This aura points to your goal, or the future.” She herself was not quite sure, but she slowly spoke according to her feelings: “Although I can’t see what it is, it is not immortality, but some kind of vast yet bounded, constantly rotating ring-shaped thing.”

The white-haired girl blinked and said, "I don't understand."

"I don't understand either, it's just... just..." Jin You whispered, "I'm just worried."

"No need, no need. I know best what's so complicated about the future and fate," Xi Heng said with a light smile. "Why worry about those things? We just need to focus on this moment."

"If we continue cultivating at the current pace, we might reach that strange state." Jin You finally voiced this thought: "I don't know if it's good or bad."

"Who cares?"

With a casual flick of her wrist, her five fingers landed on Jin You's shoulder.

With a light step, he walked around from the side to the back of the seat.

With slender fingers slightly extended forward, as if helping the other person to tidy their appearance, she pinched a few strands of hair on the side of their cheek and wrapped them behind their ear.

Her fingers continued to stroke backward, touching the gold hairpin at the back of her hair, and she gently pulled it away.

Her hair fell loose, and a gold hairpin landed on the table beside her.

Jin You also got up, tiptoed around the seat, and leaned back.

The ornate gold robe brushed against the armrest and then touched the dress on Xi Heng's body.

A hand landed on his waist, found the knot in the thin rope, and slowly untied it with a slight rubbing sound.

The golden robe then fell loosely, sliding over the woman's soft shoulders and fair arms, revealing a few more pieces of clothing hidden beneath, which were even more form-fitting.

Jin You pursed her lips slightly and exhaled a soft, warm breath: "We're not ready yet..."

"What preparations are needed? Isn't this the bedroom?" Xi Heng whispered in the other's ear.

In such an atmosphere, neither of them could calm their minds with their spiritual insight.

A slight blush appeared on Jin You's cheeks. She coughed lightly before saying, "This might be a disturbance. Miss Wan Luan should be here too..."

Before she could finish speaking, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared outside the side window.

The white-haired girl sensed a familiar presence, and her fingers paused for a moment.

Then there was a knock on the door, and it was pushed open before anyone could answer, during which some sounds could be heard.

"Xi Heng just sent word that he's coming back soon. Should we prepare a banquet to welcome him?"

The door happened to be fully open, and Xi Heng's figure was reflected in the other person's eyes.

Yin Wanluan narrowed his eyes, and his words immediately stopped.

Because Xi Heng had become a Nascent Soul cultivator, his aura was in harmony with the natural world. If he did not deliberately release his aura, other cultivators would find it difficult to sense him.

Because of this, Yin Wanluan failed to sense it in advance and pushed open the door directly.

But then, Xi Heng was gently stroking the other person's shoulder with one hand, while his left hand was holding the gold ribbon tied around his waist. The gold robe that You usually wore was lying softly on the ground, surrounding the two people who were almost touching each other.

"..."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 344, Always Together

In the main hall of the city lord, built of solid wood, high above Xiping City, lies the bedroom.

In the silence, three girls faced each other.

Xi Heng and Jin You leaned closer to each other, one hand resting on the other's shoulder, their bodies still pressed together.

Even when Yin Wanluan's gaze swept over, he did not look away for a moment.

Jin You stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.

Xi Heng, on the other hand, had a different state of mind—he felt a momentary tremor when he saw the door suddenly open, but after seeing Yin Wanluan in person, his feelings quickly calmed down.

They maintained a connection in terms of incarnation techniques, and because of her extremely keen insight as a high-level cultivator, she could tell that Yin Wanluan did not feel embarrassed at the sight of this, nor did her eyes show much emotional fluctuation or sourness.

A long time ago, the other party said that he didn't care about these things.

Now that the incident is happening right before our eyes, our attitude remains the same.

She stopped pushing the half-open door open, and said to the two people in the room who were almost embracing:

"Did I disturb you?"

"Eh……"

Jin You didn't know how to answer, and her mind, which had just relaxed as she watched Xi Heng's movements, inevitably tensed up again.
