Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Xi Heng quickly scanned the long-stored messages, but even so, half an hour had passed by the time he finished reading them all.

She didn't rush to reply, waiting until she was successfully promoted in the future before contacting those around her.

"Although I'm still unsure if my mindset is right now, I'll give it a try..."

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, and with a casual swipe of her hand, easily opened a portal to the Spirit Fire Space.

Step inside and stand atop a towering tree canopy within the space.

In the distance, one can vaguely see that the spiritual city has expanded considerably.

Xi Heng didn't look around much, but instead whispered the word "archive" from thousands of meters in the air.

The scene I envisioned was one where the rustling of leaves immediately stopped, the wind ceased, and time stood still.

However, in reality, after she finished speaking, the familiar scene of time stopping did not appear; the wind continued to blow.

Then, a faintly glowing notification appeared before my eyes:

"No saveable time detected. Please return to the main story to save your game."

"As expected..." Xi Heng had come here to try, and he had guessed that this would be the result.

She herself is unaffected by time, and the spiritual fire space she controls is naturally unrelated to time either.

The fact that the system cannot save data or stop time here may indicate that the reincarnation ability itself uses the concept of 'time' that she is currently experiencing.

Perhaps... Xi Heng still has doubts in his heart.

Since her actual level of understanding is insufficient to confirm this matter, there are still many possibilities.

But at least, it can be considered as a little test of the system.

"In the future, we may be able to fully understand how the ability to read files works."

However, the most important thing right now is to get promoted.

The girl was surrounded by spiritual flames, and then she returned to the real world.

Turning around, the surrounding scenery changed from a cultivation cave to a bustling cultivator's hall.

After leaving the cave, and taking another step back, the scene transformed back into the outside commercial street.

The shouts had barely reached their ears when spatial ripples flashed again, and the scenery changed rapidly.

Before long, she arrived at the place of advancement that she had reserved decades ago—the Ascension Platform.

The code I received after submitting the reservation happened to be available recently, as both the spiritual veins and the grand formation used for advancing to the Dao Integration stage were currently idle.

After exchanging a brief conversation with the Wanbaoge cultivator who managed the area, Xi Heng stepped inside, his figure flashing to the very center of the entire formation, where he arranged the various advancement materials he needed around him.

While sitting cross-legged, I cleared my mind for a moment.

He silently repeated those two words in his mind once more: "Save."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 386, The Door of Convenience

As the words "load the save file" echoed in Xi Heng's heart, time seemed to stand still, and the scenery and sounds instantly became peaceful.

The dust and the faint light emanating from the large array below ceased to fluctuate, frozen in place like a photograph that had been taken.

The world lost its sound and vibrations; the only change was that the simple four words 'Save now?' appeared before Xi Heng.

She nodded, and the interface in front of her suddenly expanded, recording the scene of the advancement formation in this place as an image, which was then placed at the bottom of the save file.

Then time began to flow.

Dust and leaves, which seemed to have drifted down from some unknown height, slowly fell to the ground almost silently.

Xi Heng also closed his eyes and calmed his mind for a moment. After half an hour, he came back to his senses and looked around to make sure that the preparations were complete and without any omissions before he began his advancement.

Following the advancement templates he had read during his cultivation journey and the mental techniques of the "Sun and Moon Selfless Ten Thousand Zhang Technique," he circulated spiritual energy, opening his dantian and expanding his meridians.

With such a physical body, one's mind and spirit are also connected with the essence of heaven and earth. A halo of realms, shimmering with faint light, emerges behind the ears. One's own soul forms a subtle connection with the will of heaven and earth, slowly pondering the ineffable 'Tao' between heaven and earth.

At the same time, his own Nascent Soul True Power spread out rapidly like expanding smoke, enveloping and occupying the entire array that spanned ten thousand meters.

Gather the spiritual energy and light of this place and concentrate it in the center.

The array below was activated, and even more spiritual light was generated from the spiritual veins, continuing to flood this area.

The inspiration continuously gathers and grows, in an endless cycle.

After gathering spiritual light hundreds of times, Xi Heng used his meridians to collect the maximum amount of spiritual light, and the bottleneck in his body began to tremble slightly.

This shaking felt like a faint tremor somewhere inside the body, or like a heavy door in the chest and abdomen that had been locked for years was now opening a little.

But the door remained firmly locked by chains, and the tremors prevented it from breaking free and opening.

One must gather all kinds of power, such as mental energy and spiritual light, together to unleash extremely powerful unified true energy in order to have a chance to break through the restrictive realm.

In this way, it is like smashing a thick and hard iron door; the massive spiritual power accumulated in the body is only a matter of the size and density of the muscles.

A sufficiently high level of mental state and mental strength is the way to exert force and the technique of accumulating power.

In addition, other true forces, such as the essence of heaven and earth, the power of will, the fire of resentment, etc., plus the 'Seven Flames of Separation' which was prepared in advance to unify spiritual power, can be considered as an iron axe.

To open the door to advancement, all these powers must be integrated.

Time and again, he exerted all his strength to strike at the iron-inlaid wooden door that bound him from further advancement.

The door was incredibly sturdy; if you swung an iron axe with normal force, it would only cause a slight tremor, leaving not even a trace.

Therefore, every strike must be delivered with full force in order to leave even the slightest mark.

If a cultivator truly possesses the exceptional talent of a celestial being who ascends to immortality, they might be able to break through the blockade with a single strike.

Although Xi Heng's talent is decent, it is still far inferior to those true geniuses.

Each time he mustered all his strength to break through the barrier, he could only leave a few traces amidst the deafening roar, with almost no damage.

If the door's health is in the millions, then her attack, which she unleashed with all her strength, could only barely cause half a bit of damage.

Thus, it is unknown how long it will take to truly break through the bottleneck of this restrictive realm and achieve the Dao.

However, there is no shortcut at present. Even if you have obviously hit a wall, you can't turn back. You can only grit your teeth and keep going.

Gather an immense amount of spiritual energy around your body, concentrate your mental strength to achieve the best results, add other true energy, and twist all the power into one rope.

Once the energy had been concentrated, he swung the axe in his mind and smashed it against the door.

again and again.

Xi Heng didn't know how much time had passed, only that he felt he had been in this cycle of gathering and exerting force for a long time.

Even now, I'm starting to feel bored.

But his mind never stopped, and he kept swinging the iron axe like a sword.

As the entire mental space trembled, tiny scars appeared one after another on the door in front of me.

With another burst of force, the already present, faint crack in the center of the door trembled slightly.

But such minor disturbances are still nothing.

At most, Xi Heng could only glimpse the tiny scene behind the gate through the trembling cracks in the boundary barrier for a fleeting moment.

If you don't look closely, you can only see some points of light flashing behind the door.

Only by fully perceiving the state can one glimpse the subtle external manifestations of the 'harmony with the Dao' realm.

The word "Dao" appeared in Xi Heng's mind.

She saw a sense of order that encompassed all things in the light and color behind the door.

Opening the door does not mean one has attained enlightenment; one must also explore the sense of order that lies within.

However, this door is still blocking our way.

"Is it because my cultivation is still insufficient?" Xi Heng thought to himself, "My cultivation has indeed reached its peak, but my other strengths are not yet truly perfect."

Therefore, lacking sufficient strength, it was difficult to break through the barriers that imprisoned the realm.

"We need more power..."

She shifted her focus to her physical body and directly activated the white phoenix flames within her, which swirled around her in the shape of five phoenix tail feathers.

It was as if five phoenix tails were protecting him, while the flames continued to fluctuate and flow, gathering more spiritual power.

The main material for advancement, 'Seven Flames of Separation', had already been integrated into his body, and in his mind's eye, Xi Heng imagined it to be the shape of an axe.

Now, the white flames have expanded, transforming the axe as if it had been given a new skin, turning it from a rough iron axe into a jade axe burning with white flames.

Grasp the axe handle with both hands and deliver a powerful chop.

boom--

The blow struck the door crack with great force, tearing it open amidst the resounding thud, revealing a few drops of white light.

Xi Hengzhi focused his mind on his hand, trying to catch the glimmer of white light peeking through the door.

Unfortunately, mental images and intentions are illusions, and their actual nature is difficult to discern.

She reached out her hand, only to find it empty.

However, it seemed that my fingers also touched the tail of the wandering white light and felt a trace of the will of Heaven.

As Xi Heng conceived this idea in his mind, he continued to swing the jade axe in his mind, striking the same spot.

Hundreds of times, thousands of times.

Even with all his efforts, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Such efforts have yielded results; she has carved out a tiny, cat's-eye-like hole in the tightly closed gate of her mind.

The glimpses of what lay beyond the door were reflected in the small hole from time to time, disturbing the mind and will.

Xi Heng once read in a book that many cultivators failed to advance because they were greedy for this moment, which caused their mental energy to become disordered, their mental state to break down, and some even went into qi deviation.

She closed her eyes and refused to look around, mechanically continuing to concentrate all her strength into one.

Smash it again—

The flow of divine power caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform into tides or waves, crashing against her wave after wave.

Xi Heng needs to continuously gather spiritual energy to pave his own path to advancement.

After a whole month of this, it's inevitable to feel mentally and physically exhausted, so I had to start reducing the frequency to get some rest.

Once the frequency of chopping decreases, the door in front of you seems to gradually recover.

The small hole that was left earlier seems to have become slightly smaller...

Upon seeing this, Xi Heng's composure wavered slightly, and a hint of doubt arose within him.

Once suspicion arises, the scratches on the door surface quickly fade.

"Tsk."

The relationship between the realm of understanding and one's state of mind is truly close. As soon as one has a wandering mind or loses the mindset of being single-minded, focused, and extremely confident, one will regain one's firmness.

The damage caused by Xi Heng's month-long slashing had vanished in just a brief moment.

"Why is there such a strange setting as healing after leaving combat?" She pressed her temples to exit the cultivation state and bring her consciousness back to reality.

Now that the doors have been restored, I'll take this opportunity to rest for a while.

He pondered various mental techniques, trying to find a way to break through the barriers to higher realms more quickly.

"Logically speaking, I have prepared enough cultivation and advancement materials, but my state of mind may be a few drops short... With more power, I may be able to fill the gap in my state of mind and cross the threshold of the realm."

"But the power of time is difficult to use in this area... Let's try death energy first, I don't know if it will be effective."

Xi Heng hoped that it wouldn't cause too much of a stir and disrupt the promotion ceremony.

She also hoped that things wouldn't be completely uneventful, and that even a small amount of help would contribute to her promotion.

In the blink of an eye, his consciousness shifted to the external avatar that had fallen into hibernation because it did not want to disturb the main body's advancement.

Spatial energy rippled around the two of them, and a gray porcelain-colored right hand clung to their shoulder.

Two similar figures, separated by a vast distance, joined together and closed their eyes.

Following her familiar senses, the girl gathered her spiritual power and focused her mental energy, returning to the space conjured by her mind. She transformed the giant axe into a sword shape and slowly raised it, pointing it at the tightly closed door in front of her.

Breathing becomes even, and a massive amount of spiritual light begins to flow through every meridian.
