Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"Bai Nie, Xiping City is now under my protection, and the Great Resentment in the Tree has been burned into a deep sleep, and the disturbances have subsided." She said, "You are no longer capable of taking this city, so retreat your troops quickly."

On the distant chariot platform, a tall figure on the royal throne echoed with an eerie aura:

"Since this place has been occupied by you, a great outsider with a great grudge, and the city's high heavens have been burned down, and the great grudge in Xiping has been quelled, we naturally cannot attack again. We can retreat today... However, please remember this: if the grudge in this city increases again, leading to the emergence of a new great grudge or awakening the great grudge in the trees to seek help, the troops we retreat today will surely return several times stronger in the future."

"Would a city occupied by vengeful spirits have such rules..." Xi Heng pondered.

The other party clearly considered her a major grievance.

Her actions in protecting Xiping were mistaken for the fact that she was the first to occupy the city.

Both sides harbor deep grudges, and since one side has already succeeded, the other side naturally has no need to continue its attack.

"I don't like resentment either, so you can rest assured." Fire Phoenix glanced back and then responded to the surging black mist.

"...We've...captured a city?" Yin Wanluan, who had just woken up, hadn't yet reacted.

She was unfamiliar with the world, and did not understand why the strange black mist in front of her had come and gone. She had only just heard that the city behind her was called 'Xiping'.

A jumble of questions swirled in my mind, and I instinctively asked one of them.

Xi Heng's answer, though somewhat unsure, was still lingering in his mind: "Is that so? Probably..."

Yin Wanluan noticed that Xi Heng was also somewhat uncertain, and shook his head, saying:

"Once everything is over, you must tell me everything that happened after you woke up."

"Of course." As the girl answered casually, the black mist army in front of the Fire Phoenix also gestured and stepped back.

After retreating to a certain distance, the eerie army transformed into black mist and turned, surging towards the opposite direction from the city.

Seeing the threat recede, Xi Heng's mind also relaxed.

One problem has been resolved, but another remains unresolved.

The phoenix closed its eyes and attempted to introspect.

The outer edge of the phoenix now displays layers of white flames, but the interior is composed of intense, deep crimson flames of resentment.

The flames of resentment were enriched with many ingredients—namely, crystallized resentment, a glass fire egg, and white phoenix feathers.

Xi Heng could sense that the glass fire egg, which was his true form, had merged with this fire phoenix. He wondered what changes would occur next.

She hoped for a better change, but even if it wasn't good, it wouldn't matter much, as she would always have the option to reload her save file.

The enemy forces retreated as black mist, and the fire phoenix also ceased to remain in place.

With a flap of its wings, it spun around once, then soared high into the sky, leaving a long trail of fire across the heavens and earth.

In phoenix form, breaking through the rolling clouds, it flew back to the crown of the divine tree.

The sacred tree has lost all its divine essence, and the golden light it once emitted has been replaced by a fiery red glow.

People on the ground looked up and could only see a blackish-red color, like lava, flowing across the uneven bark.

The flow of flames was originally chaotic and unstable, but since the fire phoenix flew in from the horizon and settled on the treetop, the direction of the flames has become clear.

The fiery resentment that filled the tree flowed away along with the fiery phoenix on the branch.

The light travels along the branches and leaves to the area around the giant phoenix tree, making it appear even more magnificent, like a newborn sun perched on the canopy.

The firelight, along with the real sun in the sky, scattered and illuminated the earth.

Countless mortals turned to look, thinking they had seen the real legendary phoenix, awkwardly crossing their hands over their chests, praying for the disaster to pass and for their lives to improve.

……

With external threats gone, the resentment has flowed to the branches and is no longer spreading.

Jin You emerged from the burning tree hollow, passed through the wooden door, and climbed the charred steps, returning to the only remaining piece of solid ground in the high sky.

The sky had collapsed, leaving only the ground, which was only one percent the size of the original sky, surrounding the tree branches.

Before entering the sacred tree, everything seemed peaceful on the surface. The surrounding area was filled with palaces and pavilions made of gold, lapis lazuli, precious wood, and other treasures. Even the simplest pedestrian walkway shone brightly under the bright sun.

Now, as you walk out, the fragments of the sky you see are all charred and blackened.

Jin You gazed down at the city, then used his golden core spiritual sense to peer through the barrier and look down at the city from the high heavens.

The inner city was riddled with potholes, while the outer city remained in chaos.

However, the thick dark clouds finally dispersed, and sunlight pierced through the thin clouds, shining brightly on Xiping City, which clearly looked like a ruin.

However, in her eyes, everything was not broken, but rather in a state of disrepair and ready to be rebuilt.

“There will be a lot of work to do in the future.” Jin You has already decided which acquaintances she has contacted or who are still studying in Chohei-kyo to help her.

However, there are still important matters to attend to.

She looked up at the highest point of the entire sacred tree, slightly to the left of the canopy.

There, a phoenix-shaped creature made of raging fire was perched, continuously absorbing the raging fire from the surface and inside of the divine tree.

Over time, the flames ceased to flow on the surface of the tree trunk below. The divine tree slowly absorbed nutrients from the earth's veins and used its long-stored spiritual power to recover.

A faint golden light gradually returned to the surface, and the charred parts were slowly reborn.

The process is slow, and it may take decades or even centuries to recover and improve.

But at least the flames have died down, and the worst is over.

After a quarter of an hour, the scorching and crackling sounds on the surface of the divine tree disappeared, leaving only the whooshing fire and soft murmurs from the fire phoenix on the high branches.

Jin You wanted to go up and ask Xi Heng how he was doing, but the firelight there seemed to be gathering, as if some kind of fiery essence was about to condense.

It's best not to disturb them at this moment.

While observing the changes in the fire phoenix, she used a special method of sound transmission to contact the remaining high-level cultivators, ordering them, in the name of the sect leader, to reorganize and reconnect with the various ground companies and forces under her control, in order to stabilize the situation in Xiping City.

Although she is currently only a deputy sect leader who is still preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, since such a big change has occurred in Gaotian and even the elders have disappeared, even if she has no title, the four words "Jin family bloodline" are enough to take charge of the whole situation.

The message was relayed for a while, and a Golden Core cultivator responded, leading his subordinates to fly over the shattered high sky.

Before long, hundreds of cultivators gathered at the scene to hear her give various orders.

Because the Qi Refining cultivators, who make up the largest number of people, lose their spiritual power after falling out of the high heavens, they either die on the spot or fall into the mortal world and can no longer receive spiritual messages.

Many other cultivators fled to the outer city or were burned to death by the flames of resentment. Now, the number of cultivators in the High Heavens has been reduced to nearly one-tenth.

However, for Xiping City, this number is more than enough.

Because cultivators and mortals are fundamentally different, the more cultivators there are, the more mortals will suffer.

Jin You even said at the beginning that Xiping is now in decline, and those who want to go to the outer city can just go directly.

Only then did they begin compiling a register of the existing monks, recording the status of the companies they controlled, and formulating disaster relief strategies.

In such a workspace, half an hour can easily pass by.

When I came to my senses, another phoenix cry rang out from the height of the treetops, echoing throughout the entire Xiping.

Jin You turned to look, and saw that the phoenix on the branch suddenly faded, as if it were a rootless flame that was quickly blown away by the high wind.

With a whoosh, it vanished without a trace from the outside inwards.

Only a tiny black dot remains high in the distance, perched on a branch where the phoenix alights.

……

The fire phoenix disappeared, and human form reappeared.

However, the reappearing form is no longer Yuu's external avatar, but has taken on a completely different appearance.

The girl's white hair was as white as snow and cascaded down to her waist. Three delicate fire patterns adorned her brows. Her skin was fair and flawless. When she slowly opened her eyes, phoenix shapes appeared at the corners of her pupils.

The flames of resentment transformed into a long robe of interwoven red and white, covering her body with intricate phoenix patterns and adorned with feathers at the collar and hem.

This item was created according to Xi Heng's wishes. It is somewhat similar to the imperial robe he once wore, but the dragon pattern has been replaced with a phoenix pattern.

His crimson eyes resembled the color of fire, and as he looked around, faint flames seemed to follow him.

She slowly raised her hand, and with a thought, a red and white flame suddenly appeared in her hand.

"..."

Just now, Xi Heng sensed that after receiving a large amount of intense flames, the Fire Phoenix began to condense and contract inward, gathering something with unstoppable force.

When I came to my senses, I transformed into a human form that was slightly different from my former self.

Under the firelight, her five fingers appeared as clear as white jade, and the strands of hair that floated in front of her shoulders gathered into two white feathers.

Xi Heng picked up the feather on the shoulder of his current body and examined it, feeling that it contained a great deal of mystery.

After arriving in the Realm of the Netherworld, I changed several physical bodies, and this one is the most comfortable and invigorating.

The power within the body is almost inexhaustible; with a single thought, it can transform into resentful fire and pure fire.

If he were to go all out, Xi Heng even felt that he could burn down half of the city below.

“The aura of this realm is much stronger than that of Jin You’s previous avatar… Is the strength of this physical body at the late Golden Core stage? Peak?” she guessed, then sensed her own internal organs.

Within his dantian, the martial arts core seemed to have merged with his own pseudo-core, yet his martial arts realm did not decline in the slightest; on the contrary, it seemed to have improved.

"Hmm?" She sensed something was off.

The subtle barrier between the fake elixir and the physical body has disappeared, replaced by complete integration.

It was as if this fake pill had been condensed by itself... no longer bearing the word 'fake' in front, but a genuine golden pill.

"The method of Nirvana shouldn't have such an effect, should it?" the girl murmured.

This point is not mentioned at all in the manuals on the practice.

Suddenly, a sound like a yawn appeared in my mind.

Then Yin Wanluan's indistinct voice came: "Perhaps it's because you absorbed phoenix feathers during your Nirvana that this body is tainted with some white phoenix bloodline..."

"Is that so?" Xi Heng pinched the two feathers on his shoulder and examined them closely for a while.

It took me a while to realize it.

"Wait, wait, wait, why didn't you transform into human form or turn back into feathers? Why are you still inside me?" She blinked.

Yin Wanluan's voice did not come from the two feathers floating on her shoulders, but flowed from her heart and soul.

"Of course, it's because my divine consciousness merged into your body along with the phoenix feathers. The white feathers on your hair are just an external manifestation; the real feathers have already been integrated into your body."

Because Yin Wanluan's own consciousness was already within the phoenix feather, her feelings during the fusion were even clearer.

“…” Xi Heng was stunned for a moment.

Previously, she had merged into Jin You's body and established her consciousness there.

Now, it's Yin Wanluan residing inside his body again...

By sheer chance, he escaped Jin You and reborn himself with a remarkably good physical body.

Now it seems we have to find another body for Yin Wanluan.

"Is everything finally over?" Yin Wanluan sensed her surroundings with her spiritual awareness and saw the flames on the giant tree gradually extinguish, many cultivators transforming into golden light and descending to the city on the ground, and the chaotic sounds gradually subsiding. She then said:

"Shouldn't you tell me about this world, and what happened after you woke up?"

"Hmm..." Xi Heng's mind hadn't quite caught up yet. He had just acquired this body and hadn't had a chance to fully utilize it, nor had he been able to organize his thoughts properly.

Subconsciously, I changed the subject again:

"Oh right, I remember I have a way to get you a body too."

"Hmm?" Yin Wanluan asked in confusion.

"Just go to Jin You and ask for her method of creating an avatar. Once you've mastered it, you can have it." Xi Heng nodded repeatedly, "She will give it to me."

"So, what kind of relationship do you have with this Miss Jin You?" Yin Wanluan seemed very curious.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 286, Phoenix Dances and Dragon Coils

"Jin You and I have nothing to do with each other." Xi Heng pretended to be nonchalant, trying to steer the conversation away from this topic.

"Really?"

High in the sky, at the top of the tree canopy.

The girl with her flowing white hair walked lightly, stepping on the air.

With each step, ripples spread through the air.
