Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Below, the sky was gloomy and dark, filled with rain and mist.
Amidst the mist, a great city stands firmly.
The white and gold trees, like streetlights, take root on both sides of the smooth, hard road, and their canopies also serve the same purpose, illuminating this uniquely shaped city.
Rows of pale gold high-rise buildings stand side by side, interspersed with brightly lit, bustling streets illuminated by lights.
Various boats shuttled through dazzling, colorful lights, while slow-moving flying boats glided at a fixed altitude.
On the surfaces of high-rise buildings and along the sides of streets, lifelike projection advertisements are constantly changing, eye-catching and bright.
The sounds of various advertisements mingled together with the explosions and fighting from the outer city, blending with the falling rain to create a bizarre modern symphony:
"United Danpin launches Chestnut and Braised Pork Flavored Pills, one pill lasts for a whole month! Enjoy the delicious taste of ancient cuisine but don't want to chew on a full-feeling pill? Look for United Danpin's new flavor—pre-order today and receive ten single-day full-feeling pills for only 20 yuan!"
"Life and death are at stake, and your life hangs in the balance. We cordially welcome you to join Baihu Medical Treatment! The current premium package is only 1,798 per month! Baihu Medical Engineers is dedicated to protecting your life."
"The Twelve Flying Instruments Set, now 15% off, is the perfect magical artifact for protecting you from harm.

"..."
A redwood flying boat, seemingly emerging from the void, passed by these sounds and landed far away at the outer edge of the city.
……
Volume 1: Chapter 259, Misfortunes Never Come Alone
boom--
The red boat crashed to the ground, bursting with spiritual light and fire. Scattered white flames dotted the surrounding area for dozens of meters, creating a bright, hazy scene.
The people stationed on the outer edge of the city heard the loud noise and rushed over. They saw such strange white flames in the distance. Although they did not know what they were, they knew that such incomprehensible and novel things were always quite valuable. That was enough.
Before long, a dilapidated, seemingly rotten black wooden flying boat arrived in the surrounding airspace, teetering on the verge of collapse.
As soon as they slowed down, many strange-looking people emerged from them. They were dressed simply but with bulky clothes, and their hands and feet had been replaced with gray-black prosthetics that resembled puppets. Their movements were even faster than those of Ming Jin martial artists.
Their hair was dyed a bright, blood-red color, their exposed heads were covered with embroidered tattoos, and their prosthetic limbs were covered with or painted with red lotus patterns.
After landing, the leader casually tossed a talisman through the white flames. Seeing that it didn't activate, he rattled off a bunch of things before leading his men toward the center of the falling white flames.
At that moment, another group arrived in three boats on land. The people on board were all dressed in matching civilian clothes, but they were also equipped with deadly weapons such as crossbows, cannons, long-range guns, and small flying devices. Their movements were well-coordinated, clearly indicating that they were a trained organization.
The moment the two sides met, the one with the red lotus sticker on their body immediately unleashed a talisman cannon without saying a word. The fireball, accompanied by thick smoke, roared towards them, blasting the flying boat on the ground into shattered remains, and even the passengers above were blown to pieces.
The opposing side cursed angrily, and each of them drew their weapons and began to fight the madman from the Red Lotus Gang.
As time passed, the battle at the site where the pure fire fell became increasingly intense. Various organizations and lone wolf bounty hunters flocked to the scene, turning the area within a few hundred meters of the white flames into a battlefield in just a quarter of an hour.
Talismans flew everywhere, flying instruments spun wildly, crossbow bolts or golden needles glowing with spiritual light pierced through the air, and spirit figures dressed in black and gray armor, wielding large swords and axes, charged around recklessly.
Fireballs scattered, lightning bolts flew everywhere, and bits of earth, rocks, and flesh flew in all directions. Amidst shouts and battle cries, several people were killed or wounded every few seconds...
Before long, the clouds in the sky were pushed aside by the bow of the ship, like green algae floating on the surface of a lake. A huge black square flying boat, almost only slightly smaller than the Tianyuan Boat, slowly flew over and shone dozens of beams of light on the dark ground, like dozens of huge eyes turning and staring at it.
A piercing alarm sounded from the sky, creating an atmosphere as if the end of the world was approaching, and the battlefield suddenly fell silent.
The original white light turned red and swept over the hundreds of creatures below.
The icy voice, like thunder, boomed down:
"Warning! You are engaged in theft. According to the Xiping Longxing Act, any extraterrestrial objects that fall around Xiping City belong to the Mokong Spiritual Body Agency. Everyone is to leave within thirty breaths, otherwise..."
……
Months passed.
Xi Heng's consciousness began to fluctuate slowly. Although he had no visual or physical sensations, his hazy mind still perceived some sounds.
The sounds varied in volume, most were indistinct, and only a few were barely comprehensible.
She didn't know where she was, or even had the mental capacity to judge her situation; she only vaguely heard some sounds.
What progress has been made in the research?
"Sir, all we can currently confirm is that the White Flame at the Tail is a magic artifact of a very high level, containing a large amount of pure spiritual energy... but we don't know what the effects of this foreign magic artifact are. The facilities in Xiping City may not be sufficient for research. Perhaps sending it to Changping Capital will yield results sooner."
“Since this item has fallen into Xiping, we shouldn’t just hand it over to someone else. If all else fails, we can give it to someone higher up…” another person said in a slightly somber tone.
"Above? Sir, you mean the high heavens..."
"Don't say anything more. The report says that the other crystal fire that came with the ship contains divine consciousness. Can we awaken it?"
"The company has made a series of attempts, but so far there has been no progress."
"continue."
Then came a series of steady footsteps.
After that, only the sounds of spiritual light being injected and array patterns being drawn remained in the surrounding area.
In a hazy, dreamlike state, it seemed that several more days had passed.
Suddenly, a continuous buzzing sound came from outside, making Xi Heng feel irritable.
"The divine sense of the Glazed Fire is fluctuating a bit? This is the first time." That familiar voice rang out again from not far away, followed by the sound of the array plate spinning.
"Alert level three! The suspended wall is about to shut down, grab the data system and get out of here!" a female voice shouted.
"No, no, let me note this fluctuation first. This was an unexpected change, and it would be troublesome to reproduce it..."
"Stop talking nonsense! The spirit eye on the wall is spinning. The attackers have breached the monitoring room... They're here soon. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Another person cursed, followed by the sound of rapid, receding footsteps.
A moment later, a loud explosion was heard.
The door was blown open, and two iron walls were scattered everywhere, turning the surrounding facilities into a mess.
"All done. Quickly take the target. The alarm in this damn facility has been raised to level four. In about thirty breaths, hundreds of elite spirit beings will be here. We don't have much time." A male voice came from outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Is this what the employer wants?" A sneer came from nearby: "A dilapidated spirit wood boat, with disorganized array patterns, it looks like something just unearthed by the archaeological team."
"You don't care what it is. Once we've accepted the commission, even if it's just a piece of rotten wood covered in mushrooms, we have to take it out. And that glass fire egg on it too, Jin You, keep a close eye on it."
"Understood, I have already separated five flying instruments for protection."
"The fire talisman has been affixed." Another emotionless, mechanical voice rang out.
"Everyone, move away! Three, two—"
A deafening roar followed, and then the sound of glass shattering echoed through the air.
Glass shards crashed to the ground with a clatter, and the sounds of many light-footed martial arts practitioners running quickly approached.
"Board the airships, 052, blow up the dome."
Then came another whooshing and roaring sound as building debris collapsed and fell to the ground.
The airship wobbled precariously as it rose, giving Xi Heng, whose consciousness was fading, a feeling of floating.
"Wait... the spirit body troops have come in, damn it, even the ink-controlled mechs are here, you guys go first!"
The greatsword swung through the air with a deafening roar, then flew far away, followed by a burst of flames and a violent crashing sound.
A moment later, another voice came: "The dome is full of unmanned combat airships, we need to find another way."
"Yousi, get to work! Yousi! Where the hell are they?" the leading male voice on the airship cried anxiously.
Another voice said, "The enemy array master is tracking the wisp along the wide-area array network!"
"Abandon the flying boat, take only the Glazed Fire! Go through the garbage duct—"
Then came a series of violent explosions and the scorching sound of flames, accompanied by continuous bursts of spiritual light and a sharp sound that seemed to tear through the air.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Xi Heng's consciousness was disturbed by these sharp noises.
Finally, with a burst of urgent conversation and the loudest explosion to date, the chaotic sounds around her suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of panting footsteps continuing to flee.
There were no more sharp sounds of aircraft or explosions in the surrounding area, nor any other noises from pursuing aircraft.
Midway through, the only remaining sound, a panting female voice, began to speak as if on the phone:
"Guanglai, send me the location of the new backup ship. Also, I've run out of long-range aircraft, send me a set as soon as possible, either long-range or short-range, quick!"
A gruff, agitated voice rang out: "Do you know how big of a mess this is? I only asked you to steal something, not to blow up the company like those lunatics from the Fire Lotus Gang!"
"How dare you say that? If the black array master you arranged hadn't died after only a dozen breaths in the monitoring room, how could things have come to this?"
"That's just how array masters are. If they get access to a decent site during operations, they can't help but be stupid and look at things they shouldn't. Who knows which array mine they stumbled upon and got blown up themselves." The other party was clearly also angry.
"It's no use talking about this now! Quickly send backup to the company's garbage disposal site 36 to pick me up."
"Jin You, do you have the things with you?"
"Yes!" the woman replied firmly.
The other end of the call ended abruptly, and the woman's footsteps quickened.
As time passed, another faint explosion sounded in the distance behind them.
Xi Heng's consciousness emerged from the haze, gradually becoming clearer as if it were rising from the surface of water.
"Footsteps... The space around me seems very small. Who is leading me?" she wondered.
After a while, the memories of the past gradually seeped into my mind.
“I was supposed to be sent to the outer realm by Yin Wanluan, and this place should be the outer realm now, but… the aura of the person carrying me doesn’t resemble Yin Wanluan’s.”
With slightly sluggish thoughts, she slowly recalled the words she had heard earlier and silently sorted out the information contained within them.
"Although this world also has spiritual light, it is completely different from the previous two worlds... It has probably developed and progressed for several hundred years?"
She mentally calculated for a moment, but in this state of pure consciousness without a physical body, and in another world, she couldn't accurately calculate how many years had passed since she came from Hellfire to this place.
"But at least... we can estimate that it hasn't been thirty years yet."
"Where is Yin Wanluan?" she wanted to ask, but her voice couldn't reach the outside world.
At the same time, she sensed a special spiritual light residing on the surface of the glass fire egg, seemingly carrying some information left behind by Yin Wanluan.
So he ignored the tense atmosphere outside and focused on carefully discerning the spiritual light, reading the information hidden within it.
"The airship encountered an annihilation catastrophe en route? Acceleration is necessary to escape, but the large ship's speed is insufficient, so we have to use the purifying fire to propel the smaller boats..."
“It seems we have successfully escaped that calamity… but Yin Wanluan’s consciousness has also merged with the feathers and is now separated from me. I will have to find her and awaken her.” Xi Heng nodded gently in his mind space.
As she pondered, she suddenly felt as if she were connected to and merging with something.
In a daze, Xi Heng heard a thought—
"Faster..."
At the same time, she felt a heart that didn't belong to her beating rapidly.
Fine beads of sweat clung to her clothes, her breath brushed against her lips, strands of gray hair swayed past her ears, and a slight warmth emanated from between her brows.
Only a few spiritual signals simulated the sensation of touch at the toes, and a cluster of handleless double-edged flying blades swam along the sides of the body, moving forward with the body's run.
"My consciousness seems to have entered this body? Why?" Xi Heng's vision gradually became blurry. He thought, "Does the Nirvana Method require someone else's body to be reborn?"
"It could just be an accident..."
As her vision gradually cleared, she realized that she was in a closed passageway that resembled a subway tunnel. The walls and ceiling were made of black wood that looked like solid iron, and the floor was flat with obvious tire tracks.
Ahead, a boat-shaped vehicle was speeding away. It was shaped like a boat, but had many iron and wooden wheels spinning wildly on both sides. For some reason, it did not bump around and made little noise.
The woman she possessed was now urging herself to speed up and catch up with the boat or vehicle ahead.
“At full speed, it’s roughly the same as a Dark Force martial artist…” Xi Heng quickly judged after gaining vision.
She felt the possessed person grit their teeth and pull out a coin-shaped talisman from their waist and stick it to their body.
The spiritual light activated it, making the whole body feel lighter and the speed increased dramatically once again.
As the distance closed, the woman suddenly leaped up, grabbed the gunwale of the flying boat with one hand, and flipped her body, which was already at its limit, onto it.
Immediately afterwards, I smelled a sour smell.
"It stinks." The possessed person vented on behalf of Xi Heng, and quickly moved away from the garbage area to the relatively clean government waste area.
Xi Heng then found a way to block out this guy's sense of taste.
The other party raised the mechanical arm, which was reflecting a faint light, to his eyes and gently turned it around, then exhaled a long breath.
“It seems that there is... not much spiritual energy in her dantian at all?” Inside, Xi Heng, who had just woken up, was still observing.
"This person isn't really a cultivator; she just has a sophisticated array within her body that allows her to use a certain amount of spiritual power and magical artifacts... but in reality, she's still a mortal?"
