Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

The airship continued to accelerate, but there was no longer a strong wind blowing in, nor any chill seeping in.

Twisted rune patterns that kept moving appeared on the surface of the shield, and the deck glowed.

Xi Heng slightly raised his finger, and the bow of the flying boat also turned upwards.

The enormous ship, carrying a spiritual light, drew a complete arc in the air as it accelerated.

The curvature only eased when the entire airship was oriented perpendicular to the ground.

In no time, the airship easily broke the sound barrier, creating a whiteout.

Xi Heng stood on the deck as if walking on flat ground, and the gravity shifted due to the activation of the formation.

The blue sky disappeared, and the center of the sky turned black, like an inverted abyss.

It makes one feel that the flying boat is no longer flying upwards, but is falling into a bottomless abyss.

If people in ancient times had seen this scene, they would surely have been stunned and bewildered.

As a modern person who knows the universe, Xi Heng is unaffected by this.

As they gazed at the increasingly prominent blackness above, they gradually realized that it was not darkness seeping down from the universe... but rather a truly enormous, pitch-black object.

If it were a real object, she couldn't imagine just how enormous it would be...

"It's getting closer," Xi Heng muttered to himself.

She saw no starlight, no sun, no moon; all she saw was a thick darkness surging toward her.

The dim colors covered an increasingly larger area until they completely enveloped her vision.

It not only blocked the view in front of them, but also extinguished the light behind the flying boat.

Xi Heng looked back down, but could no longer see the planet or the earth.

Only an irregularly shaped, whitish, expanding fissure remained, continuously shrinking in the boundless darkness, like a space that had been torn apart.

As the airship drifted into the dark realm, the white light gradually shrank.

After sinking into darkness, all external sounds disappeared, and the only source of light in sight was the airship.

Looking back at the contrail of the flying boat, she used her previous knowledge to determine its current speed by observing the frequency of the ripples in the azure light and the length of the contrail.

"This speed should be enough to break through the sky... no, since the light just disappeared, it should have already passed through the sky region, and next it will tear into the void."

She nodded slightly and waited patiently with curiosity.

Then, I don't know if ten minutes or longer passed.

As Xi Heng's excitement began to fade due to the long wait,

Suddenly, the airship seemed to encounter turbulent currents and shuddered violently, its speed decreasing. Xi Heng felt the inertia causing it to tilt forward.

"What did I bump into...?" After regaining her balance, she looked ahead in confusion, but could see nothing but darkness.

He spread his sword intent, but did not detect anything.

The surrounding blue-green barrier rippled and then quickly dissipated.

The airship accelerated again, gradually returning to its previous state.

The girl walked forward, puzzled, when suddenly the airship shook even more violently—

With a deafening roar, chaos erupted in front of the barrier, and fluctuations and disturbances spread throughout the entire barrier.

Looking ahead, there was still nothing to see.

One can only speculate that the spaceship may not have collided with anything, but rather entered another medium outside the air.

As I pondered, the ever-flowing airship seemed to suddenly break free from its restraints, its speed increasing exponentially in a short period of time.

She gradually realized that the airship had just broken through from a 'viscous' space into a lighter space.

However, regardless of the space, it was basically dark.

She had no choice but to sail on, albeit in a daze.

The old cultivator had said that there were no turbulent currents around the boundary, so there would be no danger when the flying boat set sail. It only needed to accelerate and rush into the void outside the boundary.

The instability we just experienced is probably normal.

Xi Heng calmed himself down, steered the flying boat to speed up, and continued to look around.

Amidst the deep black surroundings, faint points of light could be seen.

The light spots are mostly dark purple, and when they are connected in patches, they form a transparent veil-like shape, which, when viewed from a distance, looks like wisps of purple smoke drifting by.

These wisps of purple smoke are one of the few visible things on the way to the Pure Fire.

Neither the Chonghai nor the Jinghuo Realm has much research on the outer void, and they don't know what the wisps of purple smoke often seen along the way are.

They only knew that to reach other realms, one needed to pass through the outer void, but they did not know its true nature.

Some of the methods and magic arrays used to deal with spatial turbulence and other disturbances are also based on experience passed down from ancient times to the present.

"It has nothing to do with me..." After realizing that the flying boat had truly arrived in the outer void, Xi Heng relaxed his control.

He moved away from the pilot's seat, turned around and walked to the back of the airship, trying to see where he had come from.

In the distance, a crack-like feature remained, emitting a faint glow.

Although she couldn't see clearly what was going on, she could still sense, through an inexplicable inner feeling, that the rift was somehow connected to her.

As Elder Shaoxi had previously stated, once the vengeful fire reaches the outer void, it will generate an extremely weak attraction with its origin.

When she arrived in the void, she felt a mysterious connection with the Chonghai Realm where she had lived for a long time.

It's a feeling that's hard to describe, yet it's real.

The fluorescent rift that is gradually receding into the distance is the passage back to Tianzhao.

"When we arrive at the vicinity of the Pure Fire Realm in the future, what we should be looking for is this kind of fluorescent fissure," Xi Heng muttered to himself.

A tiny crack, compared to the entire void, is like a speck of sand in the desert.

She gazed at the vast, boundless void beyond the boundary, watching the faint purple smoke drifting in the air.

Subconsciously, I wondered how many worlds this abyss-like dark place was connected to.

"I can't guess..."

After clearing his mind, Xi Heng raised his hand and gathered black energy.

Deep red flames of resentment emerged from the wisps of black mist, and as soon as they appeared, a tongue of fire extended toward the side of the flying boat.

The abnormality of the extension is so subtle that it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

The girl paced back and forth for a while, and after a few minutes she finally determined the direction of the resentful fire, so she followed the flying boat in that direction.

Start accelerating.

……

For some reason, Xi Heng neither encountered the so-called void turbulence nor was disturbed by anything else for a long time.

According to the spiritual sundial on the flying boat, which functions as a clock, she has already spent ten human days in the outer void.

It's just that because there's no sunrise or sunset, the passage of time becomes somewhat blurred.

I always felt like only a few hours had passed, but when I looked at the clock, I realized that three or four days had actually gone by.

Xi Heng sat nonchalantly by the airship, sipping his freshly brewed milk tea, and casually guessed, "Does time flow faster in the outer void than in the human world...?"

"Or perhaps it's just a matter of how you feel?"

While drinking tea, she stared at the shadow of the gnomon illuminated by the spiritual energy, unaware that the pointer was moving very quickly.

Feeling that he couldn't detect anything, he shook his head and didn't think much of it.

Twenty days later, the journey remained smooth.

There were no attacks from the rumored void spirits, nor any strange phenomena such as spatial-temporal disturbances.

Shao Xi had previously said that the chances of the flying boat encountering chaos in the outer void were relatively small. He had been extremely unlucky during his last voyage, encountering a turbulent current and nearly dying.

Logically speaking, the journey between the realms of Jinghuo and Chonghai is not long, and the chances of encountering danger along the way are very small. Safe travel is the norm... You can sail with peace of mind.

She initially thought it was just words of comfort, but the journey turned out to be quite safe.

This made Xi Heng, who used to encounter various troubles whenever he traveled far within the territory of the Great Zhao, feel somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"It's normal for such a quiet place to be peaceful..."

Having been alone in the boundless darkness for so long, one inevitably develops the habit of talking to oneself.

"That old man said it took him nearly three months to reach the Chonghai Realm after he set sail, but half of that time was spent bypassing spatial turbulence... My flying boat is much faster than his, so it should be almost there by now, right?"

The girl raised her hand again and gathered a ball of resentful fire, showing that she had been drawn away quite clearly.

Like a compass at sea, it stretches straight into the distance.

As usual, she looked in the direction the flames pointed.

Normally, the area pointed to by the vengeful fire is empty except for a dark and boundless expanse of space.

However, this time, things were clearly different.

In the distance, a faint reddish, shimmering fluorescent light appeared, like a star in the sky, or a prayer lantern that had flown away during the festival. The light blinked as if it were about to disappear.

Xi Heng blinked, then subconsciously pinched his fingers, aiming the flying boat at that faint red sliver in the distance.

The burning resentment in her palm seemed to be stimulated, extending tiny, finger-like pillars of flame that pointed forward.

"...My premonition seems to be quite accurate."

"Once we arrive, there's no need to call myself 'I' anymore. Let's go back to being ordinary people." She decided to change her mood.

As it approached the red light, the flying boat trembled violently, just as it had when it left the Chonghai Realm and entered the void.

After the two collisions caused a disturbance, and as the shimmering light from the surrounding protective shield gradually faded, she could see that the red light was actually an expanding, ferocious rift.

Xi Heng lightly raised his finger and uttered a swift incantation. The flying boat immediately accelerated and crashed directly into the rift.

With a loud bang, a conspicuous white light appeared at the front.

As the airship pierced through the crack, a surge of gravity immediately struck. The girl quickly activated a magic array on the airship, preventing the tables, chairs, tableware, incense, and decorative flowers arranged on the deck from being thrown out of the airship.

But some porcelain pieces fell onto the deck and shattered with a crack.

"Tsk."

After expressing his dissatisfaction, he looked ahead again.

Immediately, a thick sea of ​​clouds separated her from the earth.

She snapped her fingers, and the airship accelerated again, breaking straight through the clouds and opening up a clear view.

Below lies an endless expanse of land covered in silver, a vast expanse of white snow.

Only by turning towards the distance can one see some green mountains and flowing green waters.

“Winter…” Xi Heng pondered for a moment, realizing that it should also be winter in Great Zhao now.

Whether it's because the two realms are relatively close or because they share the same Heavenly Dao, time seems to be not much different between them.

Then, she caught a glimpse of a vast city amidst the snow-covered landscape—a city that seemed to rise almost to the horizon, offering a distant view.

With the flying boat, a vehicle for cultivators, Xi Heng could no longer be confined by the distances of the mortal world.

What seemed like a half-day walk with light-footed skills could be covered in no time with a snap of the fingers and the use of a flying boat.

Soon after, the large city covered in snow in the distance drew ever closer.

"I can't sense any spiritual energy; this place is probably just a mortal territory..."

She slowed down and urged the flying boat to land at the far end of the city gate, dispelling the magic array. She then used her lightness skill to leap down and land on the ground.

Although the city was vast, it was clearly not as prosperous as the capital of the Great Zhao. There were no crowds of people queuing to enter the city, and the number of guards in front of the gate was pitifully small.

The guards were dressed in ordinary armor, nothing special.

However, the buildings behind it have a rather unusual appearance.

The city walls here are a dazzling white color, contrasting with the surrounding snow, and under the sunlight, the earth appears clean and bright.

The city walls are relatively low, and at intervals, a simple yet solemn stone statue of a warrior is carved on its surface. The statues have brightly colored eyes, as if they are watching over everyone who approaches the city.

"The city wall doesn't seem like a practical structure, and there are no signs of damage or repair on its surface; it's more like a decoration... There seem to be few wars in the mortal realm?"
