Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

If he used 70-80% of his normal strength, he could probably collapse and shatter the entire hill with a single palm strike.

"My physical strength is about 30% stronger than that of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and my total spiritual power is about the same... roughly, all my attributes have increased by another 20% to 30%."

However, the boosts gained from promotion are not limited to what's shown on the panel.

In addition, the improvement in the technique is even more obvious.

For example, the ability of the Qingyan Gong to transform into raging fire can be sustained for a significantly longer period of time when the spiritual energy concentration reaches the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, while also reducing the consumption of spiritual energy.

If the vengeful demonic fire were to attack again at this time, Xi Heng would normally be able to fight the opponent for ten minutes, instead of the previous less than five minutes.

As the Clear Flame Technique was activated, the girl's figure immediately transformed into deep red flames that scattered in all directions before regrouping in the distance.

When it reappeared, it was already outside the cave.

With a single hand reaching up into the air, a simple longsword landed in his palm.

With a light flick, a flash of fire streaked across the tip of the sword, tracing an arc in the air.

Push the front line forward and explode.

With a bird's sharp cry, the raging fire quickly covered the large area of ​​lush green trees in front of the cave, filling the eyes with a crimson light.

Ignoring the scene of destruction before her, the girl gazed at the blade in her hand and whispered:

"The one that saw the biggest increase was the Crimson Phoenix Heaven-Bearing Sword Scripture."

After reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, this cultivation technique reaches a relatively complete stage.

It is no longer limited to the previous uses of drawing fire lines and amplifying sword energy; it now has several more unique abilities.

For example, the flying sword can transform into a phoenix to attack the enemy, or it can use phoenix fire to heal injuries—the latter is less useful to Xi Heng, as her Qingyan skill can already do that.

However, what concerned her even more was the Nirvana method of the Crimson Phoenix Heavenly Sword Scripture.

After reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, she was able to use the Nirvana Method of Yi Fei, the former Dharma Protector.

In the first stage of Nirvana, one can imitate the Crimson Phoenix by enveloping oneself in spiritual fire, and after a brief period of fusion, grow blazing fiery wings.

During this stage of rebirth, or when one is on the verge of death, all spiritual power will be transformed into spiritual fire, which will then merge with all mental and spiritual power to form a fire egg.

After the physical body collapses, there is a chance to be reborn through a fire egg.

"However, the specifics of how to achieve Nirvana and whether there are any side effects are not detailed in the cultivation method." Xi Heng was not very interested in this seemingly inferior method of resurrection.

She already possessed an even more perfect ability to regenerate.

However, I am quite satisfied with the first stage of Nirvana.

When she faced the sword cultivator Yi Fei, the improvement she received after using the Nirvana Technique was no less than that of her Dragon Transformation Pill.

Now that I have also learned this Nirvana method, my strength will naturally reach a higher level.

"It's a pity that this Crimson Phoenix Heaven-Bearing Sword Scripture only covers up to the peak of Foundation Establishment."

Without subsequent cultivation methods, even if one advances to the Pseudo-Core or Golden Core stage later, this sword scripture will not bring any more supernatural powers.

"Once you reach the Golden Core stage, your main cultivation technique can only be the Clear Flame Technique. Currently, only this technique can be cultivated to the Golden Core stage or higher..."

"Or perhaps I could go to other realms to find cultivation methods that can lead directly to the Nascent Soul stage or even higher," Xi Heng mused.

She held the sword and tried out a few more moves in front of the cave, then sheathed the sword and gently pinched her index finger and thumb together in the air in front of her.

With a sudden flick of his two fingers, a pure fire bead radiating white light appeared in his hand.

This was a fake Pure Fire Pill that she had taken from the Dantian of the Resentful Heaven Demon Fire, and it was the perfect item to advance her cultivation level.

Although there are other Blood Feather Demon Cores that can be used as the main ingredient for fake cores, she is also somewhat interested in these kinds of demon cores that are suitable for blood cultivators.

However, to travel to other realms by flying boat, it is still necessary to master the vast energy source of Pure Fire to have a better chance, so the False Pure Fire Pill is chosen.

Even if one still cannot control the Pure Fire after promotion, at least one can gain more understanding, providing a foundation for future goals.

Xi Heng nodded slightly, and with a gentle turn of her hand, the fake pill was put back into her inventory.

He then began to think about what he needed to pay attention to for the promotion.

At this point, more than half of the eight years since the save file was loaded have passed.

At this time, Yin Wanluan had already plunged into the purifying fire.

Depending on the development of the world and the degree to which the resentment subsides, the resentment in the fire will erupt after a certain period of time, directly destroying the capital.

Her promotion at this time might cause disruptions that could bring the outbreak forward.

Perhaps during her promotion, the Pure Fire will take her life directly.

Even if they succeed by chance, they may be possessed by the Demonic Flame of Resentment and appear in the mortal world, or they may encounter other troubles due to a lack of complete understanding of the Pure Flame, and thus die.

So, no matter how you look at it, you shouldn't be near the Pure Fire at this time, let alone enter it to advance to the False Core stage.

But Xi Heng was no ordinary person, and he didn't care about these things at all.

If she successfully advances to the next level, even if she dies, her cultivation will be preserved in her next life.

She had no attachments in this world; as long as she could advance in rank, she could abandon all other external matters.

"There's nothing else to do, go and prepare." Xi Heng returned to his cave and changed into a set of comfortable clothes for easy movement.

He wore a black robe over his body, and a talisman to conceal his aura hung at his waist.

As for how to obtain the secondary materials needed for advancing to the False Pill stage, she had two options.

One option is to go to Wanbaoge to buy it, and the other is to go to the Seven Sect Alliance's treasure vault and rob it directly.

“The secondary materials for promotion are not particularly scarce, and the Wanbao Pavilion should have them all… If you really can’t buy them, you can visit the Seven Sect Alliance.” Xi Heng nodded gently.

After making up his mind, his figure turned into a ball of flame and disappeared, disappearing hundreds of meters away.

The afterimage swiftly arrived at Shigu Market, drifting through the streets and alleys towards the central stone altar that held the fragments of the Pure Fire.

Before it even appeared, the method of spiritual transformation had already been activated.

The figure formed from condensed flames flickered and teleported away.

……

When he reappeared, Xi Heng had arrived outside the cluster of multi-story buildings of Wanbaoge. He removed the shading talisman, took off his hood, and stepped inside.

Five years have passed, and the nun behind the counter in the hall is still the same female nun she saw last time.

However, the other party's appearance seemed unchanged, as if his cultivation level had improved and thus offset the effects of age, or perhaps he had taken a long-lasting anti-aging pill.

Amidst the welcoming greetings, Xi Heng took out a sheet of Xuan paper from his storage ring and approached.

A flash of inspiration flowed upon it, and it quickly wrote out more than ten lines of text, recording the many materials needed to advance to the False Core stage.

His fingertips landed on the table, pressed down on the paper, turned it slightly, and pushed it to the Qi Refining cultivator at the counter.

"Make a price."

The other party took the paper, looked at it, and said:

"The prices of materials such as Zhu Jing, Wu Shi, and Gao Yu are fixed. However, rare items such as Tian Huo Ye, Hui Yin Hua, and Xue Mu are limited in quantity. We need to confirm whether they can be sold. Please wait a moment."

"Do you have them all?" Xi Heng simply asked.

The female cultivator at the counter paused for a moment, recalling that the person in front of her was the esteemed guest personally welcomed by the sect leader several years ago, and nodded, saying, "They should all be in stock."

"That's good, go ask." The girl stepped back and went to a table and chairs to wait quietly.

She didn't care about any sales limits. As long as she took out some treasures from her inventory, the Treasure Pavilion would provide her with special treatment, no matter what restrictions it had.

A moment later, the female attendant at the counter brought tea and snacks and placed them in front of me, her attitude respectful, friendly, and attentive.

The tea snacks included a few sweet fruits. Xi Heng picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and nodded in satisfaction.

Not long after, the Master of Wanbao Pavilion suddenly reappeared amidst the fluctuations of spiritual light and sat down opposite the table.

"Long time no see."

"I don't think it's been that long." For Xi Heng now, the passage of time during cultivation is not very real.

Even though I know five years have passed, it feels like only a few months have passed.

She didn't waste any more words with the other person; her next sentence was:

"Do I have everything I want?"

"The stock and age are both sufficient, but... are you purchasing these items to advance to the False Core stage?"

“That’s right,” Xi Heng said truthfully.

"In recent years, the spiritual energy has weakened and the Pure Flame has become unstable. Your advancement may fail, and your life may be in danger." The other party seemed to be kindly reminding you: "The Pure Flame Sect Master said that he will make adjustments, and things may improve in a few years."

"A few years later?" Xi Heng said directly, "By then, Hellfire might be destroyed."

The Master of Wanbao Pavilion shook his head calmly: "Although such rumors often circulate in the markets and city, they are nothing more than the wild speculations of minor cultivators."

"It seems you don't know much either." Xi Heng waved his hand: "Then let's not say any more. Just hand over the things to me, or I can find the materials elsewhere."

Or perhaps it's fair to say that the Fire Purification Cult has done a good job of maintaining secrecy and blocking information.

The Master of Wanbao Pavilion pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Your Excellency know any other inside information?"

"I just trust my gut feeling." The girl made up a reason to brush it off, then got back to the point: "Name your price."

The other party hesitated for a moment before taking out the wooden boxes that had been arranged earlier from the storage ring.

Then, calculating and counting, he said, "Three ounces of Zhu Jing, two Wu Shi stones, three Gao Yu pieces, the prices of which are... Heavenly Fire Liquid, Yin-Returning Flower... totaling 10,370 spirit stones."

"Oh." Xi Heng directly took out the Pure Bright Broken Sword, a treasure of the Pure Fire Sect, from his inventory and placed it on the table.

"Will you accept this or not?"

……

Half an hour later, the girl walked out of Wanbao Pavilion, humming a song.

The storage ring on his fingertip shimmered slightly, already filled with the many upgrade materials he had just purchased.

Since the price of the materials was far less than that of the magical artifacts, Xi Heng asked the master of Wanbao Pavilion to help him deal with it. He also bought an extra protective array plate that was hidden deep in their pavilion. It could temporarily block the protective array of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, so that he could protect the surrounding area when he was advancing in his cultivation.

With everything prepared, she appeared inside the Pure Fire Capital just one day later.

The guards and attendants around her couldn't even detect her presence.

The guards heard at most a few faint flickering sounds of flames, glanced at the empty, deserted area, and then turned back to continue chatting with the others.

When Xi Heng arrived at the altar, the purifying fire remained pure.

The pure white light was without a single impurity, and no one would imagine that it contained a large amount of filthy things like resentment and death.

She appeared and ascended the long white stone steps.

The scene before him was bright and white, yet it always reminded Xi Heng of the charred and ruined landscape he had been burned by the crimson and yellow flames of resentment in his previous lives.

She easily traversed the short ten-meter distance, her slender, fair fingers touching the pure fire. After slowly changing her finger techniques, she pinched a wisp the size of a candle flame from it.

Xi Heng placed it against his chest, adding this blessing of pure fire to himself.

Then, he gently waved his fingers around, and the storage ring emitted a faint light.

Several spiritual objects appeared, accompanied by the movement of spiritual energy, and quickly turned into liquid that flowed around the body.

Xi Heng pinched several kinds of spiritual liquids between his fingertips, and used his finger techniques to form talisman characters, which he then affixed to his clothes and skin.

As the spiritual liquid was gradually consumed, the concentration of spiritual energy in her body, which had already reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage, began to tremble and fluctuate, attempting to reach a higher level.

The talismans on the body surface emitted a faint light.

A touch of vermilion on her brow caused the surrounding spiritual light to flow and converge at an accelerated rate, and she simultaneously stepped into the Pure Fire.

The surrounding white flames still only brought a gentle feeling, not scorching heat.

The flames continued to surge, and Xi Heng waited for several seconds in the center of the pure fire, without being teleported into the death zone.

Seeing that the blessing of the Pure Fire had taken effect, she sat down cross-legged and took out the fake pill, which floated in front of her.

As soon as the false elixir appeared, the ripples of the pure fire became even more intense.

The white flames quickly transformed into a vortex, swirling around the pill.

The talismans on Xi Heng's body were also tainted by the white flames and turned into a pure white color. At the same time, she inexplicably felt that her body and the surrounding white flames had some similarities - before she had even advanced to the pseudo-core stage, she had already established a certain connection with the white flames.

By slightly raising and waving your hand, you can feel the outline of your hand with the help of the white flame.

A small amount of resentment fire spontaneously escaped from within the body, mixing with the surrounding flames, without causing any sense of rejection.
