Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

When she opened her eyes again, a giant wolf-shaped monster roared and attacked her from the side.

Xi Heng drew his longsword and swung it fiercely, the sword energy slicing it into dozens of pieces.

Then he squatted down, his body gradually losing strength, calming the still raging fire of resentment on his body surface, and returning to his physical state.

Half a minute later, the girl suddenly stood up, raised her hand and slew another roaring demon, muttering to herself:

"That guy is much stronger than Kuroshio. This clone is no match for him... Wait, something's wrong with my body."

She raised her hand and looked at her wrist, only to see that her meridians had also been infused with a purplish-black light.

"Ok?"

Xi Heng tried to urge the spiritual energy in his meridians to force it out, but the more spiritual energy he sent, the more obvious the dark purple color became.

Subsequently, the skin on the wrist gradually turned a gray porcelain color, extending forward to the fingertips and backward past the elbow.

This... seems to be the state he was in before he absorbed a large amount of death energy and became the Lord of the Death Realm.

She was about to use her spiritual fire to rebuild a body untouched by the purple aura when, before she could even move, she noticed that the demons and ghosts that were about to continue their attack suddenly stopped and just stared at her from the spot.

The more the gray porcelain luster spreads across the body surface, the more the purple aura permeates the entire body, and the less hostile the surroundings become.

Xi Heng's eyes also turned a sinister red, like blood.

She blinked, and said in a daze, "So I can be a demon or monster too..."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 354, Demons and Monsters

The white-haired girl stood silently within the inner layer of the black mist, which shimmered with a faint purple hue, surrounded by strange creatures on all sides, her eyes, each with an irregular shape, fixed on the scene with malice.

As the gray porcelain color on her skin increased and more, a few cracks appeared on her body, and her entire form gradually transformed into a doll made of gray porcelain, thus alleviating the malice around her.

The beasts turned their eyes away, no longer looking.

Xi Heng slowly began to move his unfamiliar body amidst the many strange creatures, twitching his five fingers and twisting his arms and shoulders.

This appearance is quite similar to that of when he was the Lord of the Dead Realm.

But its power is many times greater than it was back then.

"After merging with the dark purple energy, my original physical foundation has been greatly enhanced... Now, this body should be difficult to injure unless it encounters an enemy in the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul realm," Xi Heng sensed.

Furthermore, after being transformed by the strange energy, it also gained a certain degree of resistance to spiritual energy.

Even against a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they could put up a fight.

"However, this effect is not only directed at external spiritual energy; the spiritual energy within the body is also somewhat suppressed..."

She felt that casting spells was much more difficult than usual.

Each attempt to unleash the spiritual power within the body would trigger a surge of purplish-black energy on the surface, causing more cracks to appear and making the body appear even more bizarre, much like other strange creatures that have absorbed spiritual energy.

The spell he had just cast had caused the crack on Xi Heng's shoulder to widen, and wisps of death energy were emanating from it.

If anyone with average cultivation were to get within ten meters of her, they would be instantly infected by her death aura, losing all strength and becoming unable to move. If they stayed a few more seconds longer, they would die.

This is only a small amount of death energy that has dissipated. If she were to actively activate it, even a high-level cultivator would be defeated.

"This current state is quite restraining for spiritual practice..."

Xi Heng took out a little more spiritual power, and the black energy was stimulated again, growing a pure black pupil from the crack on his shoulder.

She blinked and quickly withdrew her spiritual energy deep into her body to suppress it.

It's easy to imagine that if one continues to use spiritual power, one will also turn into one of those terrifying monsters covered in eyes.

Just imagining it makes me feel disgusted, so I'd better not.

Even if one can sense that the stronger the purplish-black aura within their body is activated, the greater their power will gradually become.

However, she ultimately gave up on this approach for the sake of her figure and condition.

"If we continue to stimulate the dark purple aura in my body, there may be other side effects... Let's forget about it."

After observing the changes in herself, the girl turned her attention to her surroundings.

Many of the ghosts had turned away from her and continued to follow the rolling black and gray mist around them as they marched forward.

The monsters are not particularly fast for their average size, but they are more than ten times faster than a normal person running at full speed, like a series of war chariots marching.

Through his strange perception, Xi Heng could see with his eyes, which were immersed in black mist within his shoulder, that a black tide was passing by in the distance and had slowed down to wait for them.

It was as if a giant warship was waiting for soldiers to board—she thought subconsciously.

Meanwhile, the numerous monsters here are heading towards the Black Tide.

The monsters attacking the monk's fortress were also rapidly completing their mission, leaving the position in waves and heading towards the Black Tide.

Although all the strange creatures, black mists, and other indescribable and terrifying things appear on the surface to be chaotic, mindless, and abnormal monsters that only know how to wreak havoc wherever they go.

But as Xi Heng infiltrated into it, he gradually discovered that, from a macro perspective, the actions of these monsters resembled those of a well-ordered army.

The monsters are divided into different groups, and they cooperate with each other. Whether on the battlefield or during a march, they can maintain stability and order, and no monsters that are too violent will harm their own people.

Therefore, when Xi Heng transformed into the form of the Lord of the Dead, the surrounding monsters stopped moving and turned back to continue their march.

“There are no captains or generals among these strange creatures… yet they all unconsciously execute plans.” The gray-clad girl looked up at the endless gray mist and muttered to herself, “It’s as if some being is manipulating everything, arranging troops with flags.”

"Why did these monsters appear?" she wondered.

Is it for the extermination of life, or something else?

Who exactly is manipulating these strange creatures?

Given her current level of cultivation, it was truly difficult to find answers to these questions.

However, these things are not that important to Xi Heng right now.

He was merely a minor Nascent Soul cultivator; it was already quite an achievement that he could move about safely among the hordes of monsters.

In this way, she wouldn't have to worry about various threats along the way and could freely travel to various places in the Heavenly Realm. She didn't have many extra needs at the moment.

As for now...

Xi Heng looked around and pondered for a moment, then leaped high into the air, randomly choosing a galloping monster to ride on, and together they headed towards the location of the Black Tide.

With nothing else to do along the way, he opened his personal interface in the Heavenly Realm to collect the rations and rewards for participating in the Four Continents Alliance Army as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Ten high-grade Heavenly Pills, five Heavenly Origin Crystals, Longevity Fruits... Hmm, this last one can be used by Chen Fenghuo in the Flexible Space."

The Jingtian Pill can increase one's cultivation level. After taking the Jingtian Pill, one only needs to refine its medicinal power for one year to gain the merit of ten years of dedicated cultivation.

However, such a miraculous elixir still has some flaws. Although one's cultivation level can increase rapidly, one's state of mind will not improve accordingly. One still needs to cultivate slowly on one's own.

Without a certain state of mind, it is difficult to advance in cultivation. Although taking this pill can rapidly increase strength, it is of little use for breaking through to a truly high realm.

The Heavenly Origin Crystal is a special type of top-grade spirit stone. It is usually only the size of a finger, but simply wearing it can increase one's efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy.

This crystal also has a certain resistance to the black aura of the Alas Heaven, which can reduce the weakening effect on cultivators when facing monsters, and can be regarded as an essential material for the army.

After Xi Heng successfully received the Heavenly Origin Crystal, he took it out of the interface and immediately felt a burning pain in his palm.

At the same time, the dark purple energy within his body was activated by spiritual power, adding a crack to his cheek.

The large monster underfoot suddenly sprouted an eye on its head and stared at them, while other monsters around them also turned their gazes toward them.

The girl immediately sent the Heavenly Origin Crystal away, and as the effects dissipated, everything gradually returned to normal.

"Send all of these to the main body."

Given his current state, possessing these things is utterly useless and could even lead to other dangers.

Xi Heng took out a drop of spiritual fire from his body and created a rift leading to the spiritual fire space.

Since absorbing the dark purple aura, one must be cautious when performing this type of spiritual cultivation technique, otherwise one's physical form will be activated and changed again.

She only opened a small crack, about the size of a palm, and immediately put the items she took out of the interface into it without causing too much spiritual energy fluctuation.

A few seconds later, the rations and rewards were collected, and Miss Xi Heng, dressed entirely in gray porcelain, clapped her hands.

The next instant, the original body, who was far away, opened its eyes in the cultivation room and simultaneously took out the many treasures sent by the avatar.

He took out the Jingtian Pill, placed it on his fingertip, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The medicinal power permeated her limbs and bones, and the girl continued to sit cross-legged to refine it, feeling her cultivation level rapidly increasing.

"If I take one Jingtian Pill every year, my cultivation level might rise to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in no time, right?" she thought.

"However, while cultivation level is easy to increase, how can we accelerate the improvement of our state of mind and comprehension?"

If these standards are not met, one will be unable to overcome tribulations such as lightning and mental tribulations, and the probability of successful advancement will decrease again and again.

“If we can only let it grow over time, it may take a very long time…” Xi Heng muttered to himself, “But I also have a lifespan, so I can just wait it out.”

"Let nature take its course. Maybe we'll find those legendary treasures that can greatly enhance our comprehension and mental state someday."

The medicinal power of the Jingtian Pill flows through the meridians and muscles, promoting the improvement of spiritual energy within the body.

Cultivation lasts a long time.

……

Six months later, on the other side of the celestial realm, the group of monsters finally merged with the slowly waiting black tide.

Once the monster enters the black tide, it can stop its rushing motion and let the black tide carry it forward.

Just like boarding a large warship, the journey can then be accelerated several times over.

Xi Heng also entered the Black Tide, casually using death energy to form bones, and made himself a bone chair to sit on.

As one of the great vengeful spirits, she moved around quite freely here.

During a break, I opened the White Trace interface and clicked on the map. Zooming in and out showed the direction the Black Tide was heading.

The gaze shifted far in that direction, and a great city sat majestically about halfway across.

"The current Black Tide is probably heading to attack this city..." Xi Heng speculated.

She calculated the balance of power between the two sides and concluded that, given the prosperity and garrison strength of that distant city, it was impossible for it to stop the surging black tide.

It might be possible to hold out for a short time, but it won't last long.

"So, what secret techniques do the cultivators of this realm possess that allow them to contend with these alas, monsters of the heavens?"

In her view, wherever Alas, Heaven would go, destruction would ensue.

In the past six months, apart from the initial sacrifice of Da Xiu, who froze the canyon, the other cultivators have been powerless to resist.

However, if the cultivators were to encounter the Alas Heaven, they would be doomed to defeat and would not be able to form a large-scale coalition.

"There must be a special method to deal with it..."

After a moment, I thought again:

"Speaking of which, since the Black Tide's target is this Liancang City... should I go there beforehand to warn them?"

He then shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need to waste that effort. The Black Tide didn't conceal its actions, so the cultivators in the city should have known about it long ago."

As time progressed, the map showed that the Black Tide was getting closer and closer to the city.

Xi Heng had already transferred his main consciousness to the cultivation of his main body, only giving a small portion to this avatar.

Since as long as her avatar remained in the Heavenly Realm, she could still obtain cultivation rations to support herself, so she planned to take advantage of this and focus her main efforts on cultivation.

Although she could kill monsters and earn points in the Jingtian Realm to exchange for advancement treasures, with her current cultivation level, she couldn't kill many monsters, and might even offend some big shots—Xi Heng decided to deal with that later.

Now, clear your mind and slowly follow the black tide...

Another six months have passed.

Just as the black tide was about to rush towards the city, arriving in just a few days, the entire massive black tide suddenly stopped in the icy snow.

Xi Heng withdrew his attention from the main body, thinking that the Black Tide was making preparations and was about to send out a large army.

Unexpectedly, the Kuroshio Tide only paused for two or three minutes before retreating to the other side.

She also believed that the strange entity was searching for weaknesses in the city's defensive array and attacking them directly with the force of a sharp knife.

Then, however, they sensed that the black tide was accelerating and rushing in another direction, without any sign of stopping.

In just over ten days, it completely forgot about the capital city called Liancang.

In this unclear and ambiguous situation, Xi Heng traveled nearly a million meters further away with the black tide.

"...Never mind."
