Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

However, the flames burning in the city today are still somewhat different in color from the deep red and almost black flames of resentment.

Yin Wanluan probably hasn't truly fallen into the vengeful demon fire yet—she guessed.

It took Xi Heng half a minute to come to his senses and start thinking about what he should do now.

He originally intended to return to his residence secretly after returning to the Fire Hell, meet Chen Fenghuo, and then go to the Netherworld Gate to find Yin Wanluan's clone, so that the development of this world could continue until its end.

Now that their residence has been destroyed, Chen Fenghuo, being one of their own, should be fine, but he certainly won't stay in this fiery inferno; his whereabouts are unknown.

The entire city was burned to the ground, and the inn on the edge of the gate to the Netherworld was probably also reduced to ruins.

She stopped in her tracks for a moment, thinking about what she should do next.

"Why don't we go check out the main body of the Pure Fire and try to understand the current situation?" Xi Heng muttered to himself. "But I feel it's too dangerous. Should we find a Pure Fire clone to teleport to the Netherworld Sect first?"

"Before that..."

She then took out a Pure Fire Emblem from her storage pouch at her waist and infused it with spiritual energy.

But the emblem didn't react at all. It seemed that since leaving the Hellfire, it had become a broken stone, unable to receive or transmit messages.

However, she can still use the secret techniques of the Netherworld Sect to transmit messages, so it doesn't matter.

Xi Heng retrieved the item and, following his earlier thought, leaped off the city wall.

They headed toward the location where the Pure Fire was supposedly split.

The fire was mainly burning in the central part of the city, while the fire was smaller on the outer perimeter.

As she ran quickly through the streets, she always felt as if she had returned to the time many years ago, when she was moving through the fire in Goldstone City.

Suddenly, the girl stopped and looked ahead.

Behind the crimson flames, behind a burned-out door, emerged a blurry, charred figure.

Xi Heng drew his sword hilt from his waist, the blade formed from resentful flames.

The charred figure turned to look at her, opened its mouth, tilted its head back, and let out a hoarse roar. Then it started running, gradually increasing its speed, and its charred and emaciated body was revealed through the scorching flames.

It stretched out its claws and attacked menacingly.

She tilted her head, took a simple step forward and slashed, her figure flashing dozens of meters in an instant.

The shadowy zombie's head was severed, and it collapsed to the ground before it could even unleash its power.

Xi Heng didn't look back once and continued on his way.

Then she encountered several zombies that attacked her one after another, but she killed them all in just a few sword moves.

"These things actually see me as a target?" Even after she revealed her appearance, she couldn't stop them from moving.

"It seems to have no mind at all... it's not controlled by anyone, it's just a pure monster."

She had initially guessed that the raging fire in the city was likely unleashed by Yin Wanluan, and that the zombies controlled by the flames were probably under her control as well.

But now it seems that this may not be the case; the raging fire that burned the city may have been caused by something affecting the Pure Fire, resulting in something that erupted uncontrollably and automatically.

It is unknown whether Yin Wanluan has succeeded or not at this moment. After stepping into the Pure Fire, is he still engaged in a tug-of-war with the resentment within, or has he already failed... and instead had his mind affected by the resentment.

Xi Heng killed another monster, and his pace gradually quickened.

She wanted to find the Pure Fire Split as soon as possible and send it back to the Netherworld Sect to learn about everything that had happened in the Fire Hell in the past two or three years.

Along the way, they often encountered zombies, each possessing about 60-70% of the strength they had when they were cultivators in their previous lives.

For ordinary cultivators, moving around in this place would be quite troublesome, but for her, it was just a small obstacle on her way forward.

Along the way, he killed thirty or forty zombies in succession. The spiritual light shield on Xi Heng's body only showed a small, minute crack due to the impact of a fire spell. His body was not harmed in the slightest, and it did not take much effort.

Before long, they arrived at the outer perimeter of the Pure Fire Split.

Although the Pure Fire Altar had been burned beyond recognition by the raging fire, the path was still relatively clear, and one could reach the altar by following the familiar route.

But when he got close, he unconsciously frowned.

The flames on the altar were no longer pure white; they were mixed with a lot of crimson red, similar to the surrounding flames, making them appear quite chaotic.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my previous life…” She climbed the steps and approached the Pure Fire.

He stretched out his palm and released a few wisps of resentful fire, sensing that the originally clean and complete structure of the pure fire component inside was also mixed with a lot of filth, just like the surface.

The commands he issued to the Spirit-Locking Array using his own resentful fire were also partially blocked due to the chaos.

The incomplete instructions could not activate the Spirit Locking Array, nor could they activate the Spirit Transformation Formation to directly teleport himself into the Netherworld Gate.

"Tsk." She tried to separate the mixed fire from the pure fire, but these things clung tightly to the pure fire, and even if she managed to separate them, they would quickly reassemble due to some strange attraction.

"This ball of pure fire is useless." She gave up and stepped back.

Looking out over the entire Pure Fire Capital, which was covered in flames, one could understand that perhaps the entire Pure Fire Capital had been corrupted by mixed fires.

She made up her mind and went to other places to find other Pure Fire clones.

Jinghuo has access to both Tianxi City and Shigu Market, which are nearby, but she usually uses teleportation to get there directly and hasn't traveled there much.

As this place is the city that houses the Pure Fire, it is normal for changes to occur when the Pure Fire is affected.

The other parts of the Pure Fire should be fine—if all the array points are in such a state of chaos, the Spirit Locking Array itself will have difficulty maintaining normal operation.

The girl identified the direction and then headed south without hesitation.

It took him fifteen minutes to leave the city and he killed dozens of zombies.

Flying over the city walls, the fiery colors gradually disappeared.

The flames only spread within the city and did not extend outwards, nor did they burn the entire Inferno as they had before.

“Even if it’s the end of the world, it will only be the early stages of it.” Xi Heng nodded and sped up.

The city was in complete chaos, but outside it was peaceful.

Even while flying over ruins and rooftops, we encountered several enemies every two or three minutes.

After leaving the city, they traveled for almost a quarter of an hour, and at most they saw two or three figures wandering in the distance. The journey was peaceful, and the ground gradually turned into a natural snow color.

Only the outline of the charred corpse could be vaguely seen beneath the thin snow.

Among them were gaunt monsters resembling zombies, and ordinary cultivators dressed in normal white robes with talismans pasted on their skin.

There are many zombie ghosts who died, but very few corpses of cultivators.

"It seems that cultivators once formed a team to deliberately exterminate the zombies and clear the roads..." Xi Heng thought to himself.

During her seclusion, the cultivators seemed to have already engaged in a battle with the zombie ghosts.

Perhaps the cultivators even launched a counterattack into the Pure Fire Capital, and even approached the Pure Fire itself in an attempt to quell the incident, but they failed.

After guessing, she quickened her pace, her figure transforming into a streak of blood-red light as she sped along the road.

Before long, the target—the entrance to the Ishiya-bo area—became visible in the distance.

Several bright lights rose there, and with superhuman vision, one could see that a towering white stone wall had been newly built in front of the stronghold, with stripes of protective formations painted on the wall.

The remaining zombies below charged toward the city wall, but were quickly destroyed by the cultivators using lightning magic to suppress their resentment.

In such circumstances, people always find ways to cope with disasters.

Xi Heng was discovered when he approached within 500 meters, and all the cultivators guarding the city wall turned to look at him.

A monk dressed in green stepped forward, looked into the distance, and stopped her in her tracks. He asked how there could still be living people in the direction of Bendu, and then asked Xi Heng to give her name.

She then revealed her identity as the Deputy Apostolic Nurse and said that she had been apostolicing for several years, had lost contact with Hellfire, and had not returned for a long time.

"People outside the formation of the Pure Fire Sect?" The blue-robed cultivator on the city wall pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with those around him, nodded to each other, and replied, "Please wait outside for a moment. I need to consult the elders."

Upon hearing the word 'elder,' the girl narrowed her eyes.

The Pure Fire Sect does not have the title of Elder; instead, it refers to positions within the sect.

Only the Seven Gates Alliance would naturally use the title of Elder.

She glanced at it again and found that although the city wall was built of white stone, which was common in the Pure Fire Sect, there was not a single Pure Fire Sect cultivator wearing a white robe guarding it.

With the headquarters of the Pure Fire Sect destroyed, it seems that Pure Fire Sect practitioners in other places are no longer the mainstream.

Or perhaps, the Seven Gates Alliance was the victor in the previous sect alliance war?

Various thoughts lingered in Xi Heng's heart.

A moment later, the so-called elder, the blue-robed cultivator who had just answered, also climbed the city wall and looked over.

The elder with long hair and a beard squinted and asked in a low voice, "Vice Protector of the Dharma... is that the one under Yi Fei's command?"

"I guess so," the girl replied casually, even though Yi Fei was no longer a part of her life.

The person transformed into a fire egg and was stored in her storage bag.

"Nearly three years ago, was Ruo Xiansi, the Pavilion Master of the Huanyin Pavilion of the Zhongmei Sect, killed by you?"

The man's voice was deep and cold, and as soon as he finished speaking, dozens of cultivators on the surrounding city walls immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"It's me," Xi Heng readily admitted.

"I knew you were just faking your death back then. Now that you've reappeared, there's no Holy Maiden of the Pure Fire Sect to protect you." The other party sneered.

"So you mean you don't want to open the door and let me through?"

She wasn't interested in what the person in front of her was saying; she only focused on this simple point.

"Prepare to die." The enemy no longer responded, raising his hand to summon the surrounding defenders to unleash offensive spells.

The girl let out a soft chuckle, drew the bladeless sword from her waist again, and formed a sharp blade from crimson resentment, assuming a stance facing the city wall that was dozens of meters wide in front of her.

The sword's domain expanded rapidly, then contracted towards the blade after reaching a certain point.

The Heart Sword gathers the power of a long wind across the world, causing fine snow to flutter and intertwine on the ground and in the air, gathering on the sharp blade to form a snow tornado.

"Then don't blame me for breaking through directly." She said the last sentence and assumed a sword-slaying stance.

Volume 1: Chapter 230, Heading Back Home

Beneath the heavy clouds, snowflakes filled the sky.

The weather was almost windless, but the snowflakes drifted down gently.

But before the white stone city wall at the boundary of the Shigu-bo area, a sword of the heart gathers, stirring up its wind.

A strong wind howled through the air, brushing against the girl's long, snow-white hair and making her clothes rustle.

Her long, greyish-white sleeves billowed wildly, and a deep red blade was held in front of her shoulder, striking her most familiar offensive sword pose.

The chaotic wind howled in my ears, forming a snow-white tornado visible to the naked eye before the sharp blade.

The wind, accompanied by the snow, revealed its true form, extending into a giant wind column tens of meters long before the short, three-foot-long blade.

The immense power gathering in his hands made Xi Heng's posture even more composed.

Although this was only the second time she had used the Heart Sword, she had already figured out how to use this move during her meditation breaks, and its power was definitely much stronger than when she used it hastily for the first time.

Ahead, the city wall, which appeared extremely tall and wide compared to her slender figure, was actually a ruin in her eyes.

Most of the cultivators on the city wall also felt a strong sense of threat; the higher the cultivator's realm, the deeper the feeling.

While the ordinary wall-guarding cultivators were still confused, the bearded cultivator known as the elder began to shout for an attack and also summoned his own spiritual weapon—a small bronze shield.

The shield was entirely golden, with many patterns on its surface resembling spreading tree roots.

The old cultivator gave a low shout, and spiritual light shone forth, illuminating the area with golden brilliance.

A broad, golden phantom suddenly appeared in front of the small shield, protecting the city wall.

The phantom was only ten meters wide and could hardly protect the entire city wall, but the sense of security was real.

The cultivators of the Seven Alliance huddled behind them, gathering their attacks and lunging forward.

Fireballs, wooden spikes, magical beasts, talismanic lightning, and other powerful offensive moves were unleashed simultaneously, attacking in unison.

The fastest lightning bolt approached first, but was caught in the wind from Xi Heng's sword, causing a faint flash of lightning to appear on the blade amidst the snow and wind.

Such magic, which controls the power of heaven and earth, will only submit to her powerful Heart Sword if it is not strong enough.

The next moment, Xi Heng felt the power of his Heart Sword had reached its peak, so he didn't hesitate to raise his sword high and bring it down with the most straightforward slashing motion—

The crimson blade simply flashed red light in the air for a moment before pausing at its lower end.

The blade itself could only be swung around in a flat manner, with speed and power remaining average, and it didn't even manage to cut through the white barrier.
