Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"Let's start with these kinds of demons... we might hear news of vengeful ghosts along the way."

After pondering for a while, he put away the map containing information about the demons and said to the Imperial City Guard attendant:

"Go to the Imperial Stables and give the order to prepare horses for me."

She packed her bags and left the capital.

……

The red-maned horse trotted out of the city, and the girl, wearing a veiled hat, traveled light without any luggage or baggage.

Between saving and loading the game during the last battle at the Dragon Lock Well, Xi Heng had already prepared a set of items in his inventory for all the necessities needed for a trip and camping.

Logically speaking, Xi Heng, who has already reached the level of Baodan, no longer needs to ride a horse. However, the royal horses are of good quality and should not be wasted.

Using one's own light-footed skills to travel is a method used in urgent situations.

Normally, just be casual.

Xi Heng travels alone, leisurely and carefree.

Along the way, we encountered rural homes, bamboo groves and streams, a bright moon high in the sky, and the setting sun like a fiery wheel.

The thoroughbred horse traverses mountains and valleys, often stopping to rest and enjoy the scenery and experience the local customs along the way.

You might encounter江湖人士 (jianghu figures), 游闲商行 (wandering merchants), 诗人旅游 (poets and tourists), or 卿雅小姐 (ladies of noble birth).

During his seven-day leisurely rest, Xi Heng often chatted with people about demons and monsters, and gained some insights from it.

For example, after getting closer to the coast, I heard some recent rumors about monsters in the inn.

The speaker spoke vaguely, as if it were something incredibly mysterious.

Xi Heng confirmed that this had happened in the last few days, so he stopped and went directly to the village that was rumored to be ravaged by evil spirits.

Using his light-footed skills, he traversed several mountain ranges and hills, and before long, he stood atop a mountain peak, where he could see a fishing village by the sea in the distance.

The village is really small, with roads and houses perched on sand and gravel like scaffolding. If the tide is high, the bottom of the village might be submerged.

As Xi Heng descended the mountain and approached, he immediately sensed a faint aura of death.

The weather is hot and humid now, and even though the bones have decomposed, they still emit a faint stench.

Amidst the deathly aura, other auras also faintly emanated.

Xi Heng had encountered this kind of aura before, but it was difficult to figure out what it was in a short time.

But there's no need to overthink it.

Upon entering the fishing village, her sword heart domain rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire village.

He quickly scanned the numerous grotesque corpses scattered on the ground, some missing limbs, others riddled with bloody holes, and still others headless.

Not only were the human corpses destroyed, but also a large quantity of aquatic products and fish stored in the fishing village were mostly damaged.

The bite marks on it do not resemble human teeth, but rather the marks of a wild animal with sharp teeth and claws.

Xi Heng took a light step forward, his leather boots landing on the blood-stained wooden planks. The dim light from the setting sun in the distance added to the somber atmosphere of the area.

As if in harmony with this atmosphere, eerie chewing and swallowing sounds drifted to Xi Heng's ears from the main house in the center of the fishing village.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

He raised his hand and gestured with his index finger from left to right toward the house fifty meters away.

The next instant, the middle section of the rough wooden house in the distance seemed to have been cut off by a sharp blade, and slowly slid to the side.

The upper part of the house was tilted and fell to the side.

With a loud bang, the contents of the house were revealed.

First, a bunch of strangely shaped, mutilated corpses appeared.

Then, another monster appeared, its face pale, its eyes bloodshot, and its teeth filled with bits of flesh.

Even though the house they were in had been cut in two, and the red glow of the setting sun was still reflected in their eyes, their movements and postures remained unchanged, and they continued to stuff rotten bits of meat into their mouths.

Chewing repeatedly amidst the hissing sound of sizzling oil.

Xi Heng felt slightly nauseous, so he turned his raised fingers into the shape of a palm.

Press down hard again—

轰、

The large, rough wooden house collapsed in an instant, the ground trembled three times, dust flew everywhere, and the surrounding houses also shook or collapsed due to their unstable structures.

The piles of corpses were crushed into a bloody pulp by the fierce palm strike.

Among them, the demons with indestructible bodies were trapped deep within the flesh and blood, yet they still mustered all their strength to swallow another mouthful of flesh and blood before letting out a painful cry.

It tried to struggle to get up by supporting itself on its arms, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't move.

The girl chuckled softly.

In the past, the demons and monsters that posed a threat to her...

Today, I am nothing more than a maggot in your hands.

His palm then transformed into a sword finger, and with a gentle slash, a sword aura condensed in the air and then slashed downwards.

Within a hundred-meter radius of the Sword Heart and Sword Intent, she was like a legendary immortal with boundless supernatural powers, able to strike anywhere at will.

The sword energy pierced the air, leaving a white streak, and struck the demon's body with a sharp, shrill sound.

The once indestructible body of the demon now showed hideous sword marks on its back, revealing stark white bones.

"Why didn't you just cut it in half? It turns out that 30% of your strength isn't enough."

As Xi Heng relaxed a little while talking to herself, the demon in the distance immediately took the opportunity to stand up and charged at her with its eyes full of torn flesh and blood, baring its fangs and claws.

However, his brute force, relying solely on his physical strength to charge around, was full of flaws in front of her.

With a light flick of his right slender fingers, a white mark appeared, and the chain led towards the demon's head.

With a thud, the white substance pierced through the opponent's entire forehead, leaving a hole the size of a fist.

The demon, covered in blood and rotten flesh, fell backward, twitched for a moment, and then lay still.

Xi Heng clapped his hands and took a closer look.

The thing's appearance, clothing, and even its slightly familiar stench of decay, along with its indestructible body that ordinary martial artists could hardly break, all proved her guess—it was indeed the demon she had encountered on Chonghai Island before.

"How did it end up on land..." she wondered.

But even demons can't communicate with each other.

"Speaking of which, feeding it spirit stones should restore some of its senses. Let's find another one and see if we can get any information out of it."

After resolving the situation, the girl unleashed a fire spell, which ignited the demonic monster's body.

Then, he turned and left the place in the glow of the flames.

……

Xi Heng first returned to the inn he had been staying at, and continued to inquire about the news of demons and monsters. As a result, although there were still many rumors, there was very little specific information.

She stopped asking questions and went to find the locations described in the information about demons and monsters that she had obtained from the Imperial City Guard.

For more than ten days, they traveled between seven villages and towns, some by horseback and others by light-footed speed, some by the sea and others hidden deep in the mountains and hills.

But the results were not satisfactory.

These villages and towns do indeed contain traces of demons and monsters, such as claw marks and corpses.

But after searching several times, they still couldn't find a single real demon.

During this period, there were still people living in one or two villages and towns.

When they inquired about the whereabouts of the demons, the answer they received was that they did not know.

The answer was simply that demons had indeed driven them away from the village, but after a long time, when they returned, the demons had disappeared, and a few brave people returned to live there.

The villages were ravaged by demons several months ago.

In the past few months, it is unknown whether all the demons have disappeared.

Xi Heng guessed that it was because demons would not stay in the same area for long. After they finished eating the rotting corpses in this area, they would look for another place to attack.

However, if that were the case, demonic calamities should be quite frequent and widely known.

Otherwise, after leaving the village, they were trapped in the deep mountains and forests because they didn't know the way, and could only hunt wild animals for food all day long.

Or...

"Could someone else be cleaning up the demons?"

"But ordinary martial arts masters are simply unable to break through the demon's indestructible body. Could it be that the number one master in the martial arts world has made a move...?"

Today, whether it's a major sect or an independent martial artist, everyone acknowledges that Xi Heng, who has already achieved the Transformation Realm, is the pinnacle of martial arts in the world.

However, before Xi Heng's sermon, there was a peerless master who was rarely seen, and he was known as one of the top three martial artists in the world, along with the master of Huangmei Mountain and the leader of the Jinghong Sword Sect, a major sect of the righteous path.

According to popular legend, the strongest among them is that peerless master who has disappeared without a trace.

Xi Heng had never met the other party, but he thought that if there were really people in the world trying to solve the problem of demons, there should only be a handful of them with enough strength.

Lost in thought, the girl looked up at the vast sky.

The azure sky envelops the surrounding mountains and countryside, acting as a barrier to separate this world from the outside world.

……

They continued their search and found three more villages, finally obtaining a clue from the villagers about why the demon had disappeared.

The villagers said that it was a celestial master who descended to earth and destroyed the demons.

When Xi Heng asked the Immortal Master what he looked like and what kind of supernatural powers he used to resolve the demon calamity, the other party seemed confused and said that he had only heard about it from others.

So Xi Heng went to find the previous narrator, but that person's account was also vague.

Despite a series of investigations, the results were still limited.

Just as she was about to leave this place and continue to the next village, an old woman suddenly came up to her after hearing that she was looking for a master and asked her why she was looking for one.

Xi Heng obtained a message from this person under the pretext of "asking the immortal master to slay the demons and eliminate evil spirits".

The so-called "Immortal Master" now resides in a courtyard in the Southern Pearl City, where he accepts visits from all those who have been harmed by demons and evil spirits. He does not accept money, but only asks for the slaying of demons and evil spirits.

"He doesn't sound like a fraud..."

Xi Heng thanked him and left, then led his horse southeast to Mingzhu City.

……

Since she ascended the throne more than a decade ago, Pearl City has always been a key city of the Tianzhao Kingdom. Today, it has become a major port in the world, establishing shipping routes with countries in the surrounding seas and attracting a large number of wealthy merchants.

After entering the city, the girl asked for directions with some silver coins and soon found the courtyard where the immortal master lived.

At that moment, several carriages were parked outside the courtyard, and the people who came were carrying wooden boxes wrapped in brocade, containing valuable gifts, probably also coming to pay their respects.

However, the gate was tightly closed, keeping them outside the courtyard.

"Young lady, you have an extraordinary air about you. Are you also here to visit the immortal master?" As you approached the door, a richly dressed and plump merchant came over to speak with you.

Xi Heng asked in return, "Why is he called the Immortal Master? Does he know any magic?"

"Legend has it that the immortal master possesses the method to revive the dead and heal bones, as well as celestial treasures and fruits such as jade nectar, golden elixir, and fiery jujubes... Consuming these can grant immortality!"

"If it were that easy to achieve immortality, that would be wonderful." She assumed the other person was just telling a story and changed the subject: "Why are the doors tightly closed? Is the Immortal Master not here today?"

"The immortal master only receives those who are sincere. Some people have waited outside for half a month before the door was opened to receive them." The merchant sighed, "Let's all wait patiently together."

Xi Heng was naturally unwilling to wait there. After hearing this, he stepped forward, preparing to cross the courtyard wall and enter to forcibly pay a visit to the so-called immortal master.

But just as she was about to step in, the previously closed door suddenly opened.

With a low hum, a young man dressed in rough blue medical robes emerged from behind the thick wooden door. Upon seeing her, he respectfully bowed and greeted her:

"Your Majesty has come from afar to visit my teacher. I am deeply grateful for your kind words. Please come in to discuss matters."

Xi Heng narrowed his eyes.

She still wears a veil to this day and has used some disguise techniques to make her appearance slightly different from the portraits that have been circulated.

Unexpectedly, before he could even see who the so-called immortal master was, the other party easily recognized his identity.

"Interesting." She then followed the young doctor into the hospital.
