Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Therefore, many cultivators below the Dao Integration level are unable to contribute in battles related to calamities and can only clear out minor enemies on the sidelines, which does not help the overall situation much.

Those who have attained the Dao have touched the edge of the Heavenly Dao and can contend with it.

However, due to limited power, the effects were mostly unsatisfactory.

To truly combat such calamities, one must reach the level of Dao Integration and employ near-immortal techniques, such as those used by a half-immortal or by celestial artifacts.

A fleeting thought passed through Xi Heng, who put aside his concerns about external calamities and looked back at the ever-approaching Central Hub of the Heavenly Dao of Time.

Previously, her understanding of the spiraling circular imagery of the Heavenly Way of Time was already quite complete, so there was no need to change this understanding.

However, now that he has been promoted, he can put this understanding into practice and turn it into real power.

Xi Heng slowly opened his eyes in the cultivation room, a faint golden light appearing between his pupils.

Raise your hand and draw a circle in front of your eyes with spiritual light, then imbue it with the power of time to form a pale gold ring.

The circle in front of him represents the passage of time.

She casually pointed to a spot on it and marked her current location at that time.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he extinguished the persistently burning spirit candle on the table beside him.

The candlelight flickered for a moment, then vanished instantly.

After waiting a few seconds, Xi Heng tried to use the power of time to search for the circular veins and mark the time threads around them.

Finding that fleeting half-second from the snap of the fingers within these complex threads, I then channeled the power of time back to the past, blocking the faint airflow from the flick of the fingers, allowing the candlelight of the past to continue burning.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Heng turned his gaze to the table beside him.

The candle flame that had just been extinguished had already reignited, and the light still flickered.

"The power to change the past and influence the present...it's truly amazing," she murmured to herself.

However, at present, she has only made initial contact with this special ability and can do very little.

For now, the power of time can only be extended to a few time points in the surrounding area. It needs to be carefully controlled and cannot be transmitted in large quantities, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain stability.

"Once you've mastered it enough, this ability might be able to do some truly extraordinary things." As he finished speaking, Xi Heng waved his hand again, dispersing the ring of realm before him.

Closing his eyes, he returned to the realm of his mind and imagery, and with the clearer vision gained after his advancement, he once again looked up at the Heavenly Dao Central Hub, which was now much closer, and pondered for a long time the 'folded time' that he had always thought about.

We gain more and more insights from the glimpses of time and the way of the universe.

If you don't understand it in one day, then you'll need ten more days.

A month later, Xi Heng gradually grasped a little about the method of folding the power of time, which allowed him to fold a short period of time and send himself to a few seconds later.

This is still far from true time travel; it cannot involve long-distance time travel, nor can it allow one to return to the past.

But at least this ability has been acquired. If we continue to practice and refine it, we may gradually get closer to the grand idea of ​​time travel.

Xi Heng was quite confident about this.

Her ability to go from knowing nothing about the laws of time to having such a detailed understanding is an enormous improvement.

Compared to these, the distance between folding the power of time over a short period of time and folding the power of time as a whole should not be so great.

"When you truly attain enlightenment in the future, you will surely be able to comprehend this kind of teleportation method at specific points in time."

"Now that I have reached the late stage of Dao Integration, I only need to advance to the next level and reach the peak to return to my previous save file and sever my three corpses."

"Although even now, the specific method for severing the three corpses is still unknown..."

The girl tilted her head as she thought of this.

"Let nature take its course then. Perhaps the Three Corpses themselves will know about the procedure... Although the ultimate goal is to eliminate them, the three Three Corpses are, after all, me. They should be able to tell me, right?"

His thoughts drifted by so casually, but before long, Xi Heng subconsciously followed his habit and returned to his usual cultivation posture.

His mind returned to the imagery of cultivation, and he continued to withstand the pressure from the surroundings, which had weakened considerably. He easily stepped onto the spiral staircase formed by his cultivation and ascended to a higher place.

It's been 260 years since I loaded the save file.

In the previous life, the void at this point in time had already perished, and all the Heavenly Dao had been swallowed up and destroyed by the Annihilation Disaster, leaving no trace of rules or rules, only endless chaos.

However, the timeline of that lifetime was fixed at the time of the archive entry by Xi Heng and did not extend to this year.

Now she has come to understand the natural order of 'time', is aware of its specific form, and can articulate it in her mind.

Therefore, the working principle of the system's loop loading and saving capabilities is now clear:

Every time she saves a file, it's at a fixed point in time.

And when she leaves a save file, or dies in a certain lifetime and has to return to the save file space.

The duration of that lifetime would then vanish like a bursting bubble, or like being awakened from a dream.

The moment she returned to the save space, all the time in the previous world became 'non-existent'.

There is no past, no present, and no future.

This is 'nothingness' in the purest sense.

In fact, it didn't change from a state of being specifically existing to not existing; rather, it was 'non-existent' from the very beginning.

The 'past,' which constitutes the most fundamental part of the world, disappeared the moment Xi Heng returned to the save file space, and everything naturally became 'nothingness'.

She felt as if she had just woken up from a long dream.

At first, all those things in the world, apart from leaving a few impressions in Xi Heng's heart, at most became an archive, transformed into time frozen by her, which she could choose to go to.

However, this state changed somewhat after she obtained the spatial method and mastered the spiritual fire space.

When Xi Heng could gather living beings from those worlds into his spiritual fire space, allowing them to enter the realm beyond time—many things went from 'non-existent' to 'existent' out of thin air.

Expanding on this idea, it seems that most things are like Schrödinger's cat, existing in a state of uncertainty and indeterminacy.

"What we see and hear is like an illusion, the three realms are like empty flowers..." the girl murmured softly from her imagination.

"The two completely contradictory states of existence and non-existence can actually transform into each other; the world is truly wondrous."

"I don't know, is it just that the laws of this world are special, or is everything truly like this?"

"But in any case, I am definitely real."

As one's state of mind changes, the efficiency of accumulating cultivation points increases.

When one comprehends the Way of Heaven, one's state of mind remains unshaken by these insights; on the contrary, it becomes increasingly stable and steadfast.

"And the things and people that I recognize are necessarily real."

One by one, figures and events she had experienced, scenes etched deep in her heart like brand marks, all surfaced in her mind and were taken as real.

……

Outside, in the upper part of the void, various calamities were like several chaotic beasts devouring and killing each other, locked in a fierce battle.

Multiple colors collide and intertwine, splashing and splattering like pottery jugs filled with paint crashing to the ground, bursting into large swaths of rich color.

One calamity struck, and soon another calamity of a different color covered it.

Multiple rich colors overlapped and mixed together, each containing the other. If they didn't each possess the property of repelling other calamities and devouring each other, they would probably have long since merged into a mixed, murky color.

Irregular colors filled the upper part of the void, forming a colorful, chaotic artistic color cluster around the celestial realm.

This scenario did not develop in the previous life.

At that time, the Mirror Realm in the void had long since fallen, and then the Light Calamity of Salvation directly clashed with the Calamity of Transformation, fighting from inside the realm to outside the realm, and finally the Filthy Calamity, which joined along the way, took away the greatest benefit.

The subsequent calamities did not linger for long, and the most powerful calamity absorbed all the calamities and expanded rapidly, easily occupying the entire central region and then spreading to the outer edge of the void.

The Jingtian Realm still exists in this world, and the primary target of the major calamities remains Jingtian. The calamity wars that develop around it are merely secondary battlefields and have not caused the major calamities to devour each other in full force.

However, with the occasional intervention of a semi-immortal within the Heavenly Realm, the calamity was kept within a certain range.

Currently, the situation in the upper part of the void is maintaining a balance.

However, as the forces of calamity devour and intertwine with each other, they continue to accumulate and improve, and the Heavenly Protector Array will also have a certain limit to its ability to withstand them.

Once the various calamities surpass the protective array set up by the Half-Immortals, a true battle between Half-Immortals will erupt simultaneously in the upper part of the void.

Xi Heng continued to monitor this area through the vision of the Death Disaster.

At the same time, we are trying to accelerate the growth rate of the calamities as much as possible, hoping to eventually contend with the overly powerful calamities in the middle of the void.

The major calamities are concentrated in the central void, the main stage, while other areas outside remain largely unchanged.

The Pure Fire Sect, for example, continued to be busy taking in foreign cultivators, forming fleets across various realms to spread their teachings and expand their faith, while also bringing more and more power of vows.

The more dangers and threats there are outside, the more the Pure Fire Cult, protected by the Calamity of Death, can gain from the power of vows.

If the calamity can continue for a long time without actually erupting into the end times, it may be quite advantageous for the sect.

Before the calamity truly awakens and erupts, internal factional turmoil will occasionally arise within the sect.

With such a formidable external enemy guarding the outside, the internal situation became quite stable and united, with no more factional disputes.

There were fewer conflicts between cultivators and realms across the world. Whether in the Pure Fire Sect or other void areas, cultivators supported each other.

And so, time continued to flow.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 432, Bright as the Sun and Stars

It's been 280 years since I loaded the save file.

Due to another breakthrough in his state of mind, Xi Heng saw more of the laws and order of the Heavenly Dao.

Now, her cultivation efficiency has also increased, surpassing that of the past.

The rate at which cultivation steps are formed in the mind accelerates, and the rate at which the Heavenly Dao Central Hub is similarly amplified.

Looking up into the distance, one can see that the central hub of the celestial order shines brightly, like a golden paradise standing at the top of the sky, illuminating all things.

That was the destination she was about to reach after a long period of cultivation.

Xi Heng had a vague feeling that as long as he truly arrived at that golden paradise, he could achieve the pinnacle of Dao integration and then try to truly attain the Dao and become an immortal.

"It's not far off."

Over the years, the Pure Fire Sect's territory has encompassed countless other realms, large and small.

To this day, the daily influx of prayers continues to grow.

Although when one reaches the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, the rate at which one's willpower is consumed eventually outpaces the rate at which it grows, and one begins to deplete the existing reserves.

However, Xi Heng currently has too much pent-up power. As long as the external pent-up power does not suddenly stop flowing, it will not be exhausted even after another hundred years.

A century is enough time for her to reach the pinnacle of the Dao Integration Realm—at least that's Xi Heng's optimistic estimate.

She possesses the power of humanity and is further empowered by her role as a 'savior'.

With the support of a massive amount of willpower, sufficient mental development, an understanding of the laws of time, and even the experience of multiple time loops brought to her by the save-load system...

All of these things have already brought it to perfection.

Xi Heng firmly believed that he could advance to the peak of the Dao Integration Realm in a much shorter time than other Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

It would be strange if I failed.

She even had a sense of destiny, as if everything was meant to unfold this way.

If reality deviates from one's expectations, then something is wrong with the world.

This is not an obsession or insistence, but a natural and irrefutable trust.

Even when actively considering other possibilities, their mindset remains steadfast.

This unwavering belief, which she herself could hardly question, fueled her immense inner strength and propelled her forward relentlessly.

"I am destined to become an immortal," she murmured again.

This time, it was even clearer and more thorough than the moment when he established his grand ambition in Tianzhao back then.

The path to immortality is already before us.

Take a deep breath and step up the stairs.

……

Another year passed.

An unexpected situation suddenly occurred on the front lines of the Heavenly Realm, where the outside world was battling against calamities.
