Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

The next moment, the fiery sword mark in the air exploded into a ball of fire. Only because Xi Heng withdrew his spiritual power did it prevent the floor from being overturned or the soil from being scorched.

After a few shouts, the girl stopped what she was doing, looked at the way the flames were erupting in front of her, and estimated their power.

Then he shook his head:

"In such a small area, it is still difficult to exert much strength."

Even though this backyard is spacious enough for martial artists, it is not very meaningful for cultivators to test their skills.

He could only feel that he was much stronger than before, and many of his moves, even when released casually, resembled the full power of someone in the Qi Refining stage.

However, the specific increase in destructive power, explosive power, and other aspects cannot be seen in this small place.

"If only I had a Foundation Establishment stage expert as a sparring partner..." Xi Heng clicked his tongue.

She always felt that since she started practicing Qi cultivation, her grasp of her own strength had gradually become blurred.

Perhaps it's because I haven't encountered many real rivals in the past few years?

In addition to the duration of dual cultivation, each realm can experience a noticeable and specific increase.

In terms of other, more overall strengths, it's not perceptible.

"Speaking of which, after advancing to Foundation Establishment, I should be able to keep up with Yin Wanluan during dual cultivation, right?"

"It feels like... it's still lacking."

The other party's cultivation level was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, while she was only at the early stage.

However, once I reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, I will definitely be able to surpass my opponent in every aspect...

Why do I keep thinking about these things?

The girl tilted her head, putting aside these thoughts, and began to try out her sword techniques again.

His body was enveloped in spiritual light, and his movements were sometimes sharp and thrusting, sometimes flipping and leaping backward, chasing and slashing one after another.

With a single, flat step, the ground cracked, and the figure turned and disappeared into the distance, leaving only a lingering shadow in its wake.

"The speed is much faster on flat ground..." Xi Heng nodded, then casually tested the other sword techniques before putting the Phoenix Pattern Longsword, which he found increasingly difficult to use, back into its sheath.

Then, he stretched out his palm into an empty space in a courtyard.

Black energy emanated from his palm, from which a rich, deep red flame shone.

The blazing flames grew ever brighter, rushing forward as if alive, then flowing downwards with the pull of gravity.

In just a few seconds, the vengeful fire condensed into a small fire fox with rich details, even the shape of its fur could be vaguely seen, and it was glowing faintly.

The fox's tail was slightly larger than its own body, with a bright, undulating flame burning at the tip.

It trod on the ground where a few traces of snow still remained, and each time its tender claws touched the frost and snow, small pieces of it would melt away.

The Firefox walked cautiously for a moment, and soon began to stare at its large tail and circle around.

The movements became increasingly rapid, agile, and lively.

A gentle breeze gradually rose from the ground, making him appear as a ring of fire on the ground. He shook his triangular head, feeling dizzy, and slowly came to a stop.

"The form of the vengeful fire can change more subtly, and the details of its manipulation have also improved significantly, yet the mental strain hasn't increased..." Xi Heng nodded, looking at the little fire fox on the ground.

"It's at least an improvement of one stage."

She pressed her right hand down, sending even more resentment into the fox's heart.

The little fire fox's initial weak appearance immediately disappeared, and it quickly grew to a height of two meters with its head held high. Its three tails swayed, and it opened its mouth to reveal sharp teeth, its figure and form exuding a majestic aura.

But the girl was still not satisfied and continued to send more resentful fire, causing the resentful fire to burn wildly all over the fox's body.

As the flames continued to expand, the fox gradually lost its animal form and transformed into a giant ball of fire, three or four meters wide and the size of a house.

The burning continued, and two reddish-yellow pupils shone brightly amidst the deep red, reappearing in the shape of a beast's head.

But now it is no longer a whole fox, only a single beast head with its ferocious maw open, snapping down at the front.

The loud thud was like a giant hammer striking a drum.

If an ordinary person were in this area, they would surely experience a ringing in their ears.

Xi Heng, standing to the side, felt a gust of wind and instinctively took a half step back.

She looked at the ferocious fox head, pondered for a moment, and then urged it to bite directly at the trunk of a dead tree more than ten meters away.

The house-sized beast head bit off it as easily as eating French fries.

The dead wood fragments were scattered everywhere, and the bitten section was burned to ashes by the Qingyan Technique.

The flames of resentment themselves have no heat, but after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, when liquid spiritual energy is used, the Clear Flame Technique can imbue them with a heat far exceeding that of ordinary flames.

Seeing the withered tree shatter, the girl inexplicably remembered the end of her previous life, when her head was bitten off by the demonic fire Yin Wanluan.

A chill ran through me.

She quickly withdrew most of the resentful flames, leaving only the original little fox, which she then manipulated to run towards her.

Squat down and let it run up your arm to your shoulder and lie down.

After calming down for a while, he finally let out a breath: "Foundation Establishment does indeed provide a significant boost to all aspects..."

As the trial ended, he turned to return to the hall to rest, but first saw Chen Fenghuo waiting quietly under the eaves.

When the other person saw her looking at him, he opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out.

I haven't been able to organize my thoughts yet.

Xi Heng waved his hand quite naturally and said, "Long time no see."

Chen Fenghuo responded after a moment: "Hmm, it's been a long time... You're already a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"right."

The girl snapped her fingers, and a rich spiritual energy emanated from her, surrounding her like a flowing ribbon of celestial beauty.

"So fast..." Chen Fenghuo's voice was not loud.

"You also have the aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, so you might be able to surpass me in the future."

As Xi Heng approached the other person, he caught a whiff of the aroma of food wafting from the back hall.

"Speaking of which, were you just in the kitchen preparing food?"

When Chen Fenghuo mentioned this, he regained his normal expression: "We need to host a welcome dinner for you."

“But I’ve never gone out.” Xi Heng replied with a light smile, quickly walked a few steps to the eaves, and stood beside the other person.

During that time, because we were too close, I accidentally brushed against his shoulder.

Chen Fenghuo coughed lightly, but did not actively create distance, instead changing the subject:

"Is this little fox one of your magical treasures, or some kind of cultivation technique?"

"So, I guess we'll count them all?" Xi Heng manipulated the little fire fox to jump from his shoulder to the other's shoulder and cling to it.

The blonde girl turned her head in confusion to look at her right shoulder, then tentatively extended a finger toward the fox.

Firefox immediately narrowed its eyes and subconsciously rubbed the index finger.

Chen Fenghuo couldn't calm himself down, and only hesitated as he played with the fire fox with his fingers, his steps gradually slowing down.

The white-haired girl then nimbly headed towards the hall.

The meal consisted of fish and vegetables, as always, a total of four dishes and a soup.

However, perhaps because she had not been able to eat for ten months, Xi Heng felt that this meal was much more delicious than before.

After she started eating, Chen Fenghuo, who was entangled with the little fire fox, finally arrived late and joined them for the meal.

……

Time has slowly erased this harmonious scene.

The sun's position shifts, from noon to afternoon.

Only two hours had passed since Xi Heng's advancement. She had just finished her meal and was casually flipping through a book on formations in the hall.

Suddenly, a footstep sound came from outside the courtyard.

Knock knock,

With a quick glance, his divine sense detected Yin Wanluan's aura.

However, this time it wasn't just the other party; they were accompanied by several other Pure Fire Sect cultivators with weaker auras, dressed in white robes, who were holding a scroll with the words "Appointment Letter" written on it.

"The news of my becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator spread so quickly?" Xi Heng guessed. "Perhaps it caused fluctuations in the spiritual energy within the Spirit Locking Array?"

Yin Wanluan came today with an appointment letter, presumably to carry out the promotion that was planned in advance.

So she unlocked the door and went to greet her herself.

After taking only a few steps to cross the hundred-meter distance, he paused and then reached out to open the door.

"Welcome," Xi Heng said casually.

This time, Yin Wanluan adopted a strictly businesslike attitude:

"Please forgive the intrusion, but a while ago this place was clearly filled with spiritual energy. Have you broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, fellow Daoist?"

However, when speaking in a serious tone, he secretly winked at her.

"Fellow Daoist?" Xi Heng's lips twitched at the strange address. He coughed lightly before forcing a serious expression.

"Indeed, it is because I am blessed by the Pure Fire and my fortune is good."

Yin Wanluan nodded and said, "Vice Sect Leader Yin Xiangsheng instructed me to come and visit, and to deliver this item along the way..."

As she spoke, she took a scroll from the hands of an ordinary cultivator behind her and handed it over:

"Due to your previous achievements and your current advancement in spiritual cultivation, from this moment forward, you shall be promoted to Deputy Dharma Protector of the Dharma Hall, with authority second only to the Four Great Dharma Protectors—please accept this position."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xi Heng replied casually.

"From now on, you will surely achieve great things," Yin Wanluan said meaningfully. "I wish us both success."

In her eyes, the entire inferno was about to be engulfed in turmoil.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 220, Chapter 211, Starting from the Beginning

It was the sixth year since I arrived in Hellfire, in the depths of winter, nearing the end of spring.

Xi Heng has accepted the appointment scroll handed over by Yin Wanluan, and has been promoted from a lowly ordinary believer with a good relationship with Her Highness the Holy Maiden to the deputy protector of the Dharma Hall, a high-ranking position within the church.

This position is considered high-ranking, and the person only obeys the orders of the head and deputy head of the church, the saintess, and the chief protector of the church.

Furthermore, he is relatively free on weekdays, as there are not many cultivators in the Fire Hell, so there are generally no troublesome matters.

Normally, we only need to go through the motions of our work; we only need to take serious action on the eve of each major festival.

However, ever since she took on this role and arrived at the Dharma Protector Hall to learn about the recent events, she had already made up her mind that she would not follow the conventions of the Dharma Protector Hall.

On his third day in office, Xi Heng, in the residence of the legal envoy, read through the files that recorded the various events that had recently occurred in Hellfire.

Aside from the sacrificial rites, the most significant issue was the uproar caused by her involvement with evil cultivators.

The Dharma Protectorate has recently tracked down nearly thirty heretical practitioners, and half of them have been arrested and imprisoned.

The remaining half are mostly within the territory of the Seven Alliances, under their protection.

Even if the Pure Fire Cult went to demand the release of the person with evidence, they would only be seen as deliberately framing him and would be turned away.

To maintain its prestige, the Seven Sects Alliance must protect its Foundation Establishment heretical cultivators. If the Pure Fire Sect forcibly arrests them, it will surely ignite the current tense situation in the Fire Hell.

"It seems quite simple to provoke a major battle between these two..."

Xi Heng read through many of the Dharma Protector Hall's files and pondered silently.

As a member of the Netherworld Sect, her next task is to ignite the battle in the Fire Hell.

Furthermore, she herself wanted to do this.

The files before them clearly state that Xi Heng, as the first evil cultivator to take action, has already attracted much hostility and dissatisfaction.

Secretly, threats were being made against her, or against those around her.

She used the Purifying Flame Emblem to ask Yin Wanluan whether these previously circulated threats were part of the Netherworld Sect's plan.

It was someone else who wanted to kill her.
