Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Even if one embarks on the path of cultivation, one may not necessarily achieve longevity like Xi Heng—one is more likely to stagnate at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, with a lifespan of at most two or three hundred years.

Xi Heng's seclusion for cultivation might take fifty or even a hundred years.

If one were to bring along a few close relatives and friends to accompany them in their spiritual practice, perhaps after just one period of seclusion, the person would transform from a young person with black hair to someone with a full head of white hair.

Compared to ordinary people, she was far inferior.

Xi Heng's next main goal is to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, which will likely require him to spend hundreds of years in seclusion.

Although the late Nascent Soul stage is only one realm away from the Deity Transformation stage, the actual distance is vast. To reach the peak where one can truly attempt to advance, the required cultivation time will be several times greater than that of the previous stages.

If we return directly to Tianzhao to cultivate, it might make our senior sisters wait a very, very long time before we can even see them.

In fact, the time they spend cultivating themselves may even exceed their lifespan.

Xi Heng was unwilling to see the scene he had imagined. After taking a deep breath, he still moved his finger and placed it on the first archive.

"Since the goal is simply to cultivate and advance, then I'll just focus on cultivation," the girl murmured.

Clicking again, the space in front of me distorted, and darkness enveloped my vision.

After a while, the chirping of cicadas drifted in from outside the wooden house window.

The early summer breeze slipped through the narrow cracks in the house, landing inside and slightly stirring the stuffy air.

Fine dust lingered in every corner, and the legs of a dilapidated wooden table were slowly corroding.

The rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds came from not far away; the temperature suddenly changed, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the spider web trembling slightly, and the beams above covered in dust.

The place smelled rotten and the furnishings were crude and simple, but Xi Heng felt a sense of familiarity with it and even lingered a little longer on the not-so-comfortable bed.

A flickering flame gradually appeared, sweeping from one end to the other.

Her black hair turned soft white, and her simple white cotton dress turned into a crimson long skirt as the flames swept over it.

The ordinary brown-gray pupils were tinged with crimson, and the skin instantly transformed into a delicate and fair complexion.

The firelight beside his bare feet transformed into brocade shoes. Xi Heng sat on the bed, stretched, and in a flash, stood by the window inside the room.

With the window open, Yaowang Mountain stands right in front of you.

A side glance revealed a few herbs that had been picked the day before, still laid out on the wooden table beside him.

Xi Heng's gaze softened, he chuckled softly, and his figure vanished in flames.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the summit of a high mountain.

A cold wind blows, and the pines and cypresses sway.

Large and small rocks cluster together to form a high peak, and looking down, one can see lush greenery everywhere.

The village at the foot of the mountain just now looks as tiny as an anthill from this high vantage point.

“One hundred divine trees…” Xi Heng opened his inventory and swiped his finger to find the item he wanted to place.

"Each one occupies an area the size of half of Beijing."

"Starting from here, the coverage area will directly encompass several surrounding cities... Such a rich spiritual environment, even mortals who simply live here quietly can slightly break through the lifespan limit. Consider this the reward I'm giving for forcibly requisitioning this land," she thought.

"In short, let's plant one now as the center of the spirit-gathering array."

Xi Heng focused his thoughts on the Divine Tree in his inventory, and his body rose from the mountain peak, drifting over a thousand meters away.

The mountains appeared tiny in her eyes. She focused her thoughts on retrieving the divine tree, setting her sights on Medicine King Mountain.

The next instant, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

The world in the early morning suddenly turned into a scene of dusk, with the white clouds in the sky turning into gold and the brown soil below also changing color as if mixed with a layer of gold dust.

The divine tree suddenly appeared, without the booming sound of falling, only the enormous, grinding creaking sound of its immense gravity crushing the earth.

The mountain collapsed, and the peak was compressed into an ellipse.

The terrain also changed. With each tremor, the land around Yaowang Mountain subsided, and a large amount of underground water gushed out, instantly forming several rivers filled with mud and filth.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain thought an earthquake was coming and shouted to each other as they left their villages.

In the early morning, the villagers were just waking up and busy with their tasks when the earth trembled and sank. But no lives were taken.

However, the collapse of the house and the damage to property are inevitable—that's beyond Xi Heng's concern.

She was floating in the air, watching the divine tree press down half the height of the mountain and sit on the earth.

After the divine tree stabilized, its roots twisted and spread downwards like vines, inserting themselves into the rocks and soil and causing the ground to arch, extending in all directions like giant beasts that had burrowed into the earth.

A thunderous roar echoed across the ground, like the thunderclap of a million warhorses galloping in unison.

The tranquil mountain scenery vanished instantly, and in just a moment, the area within tens of thousands of meters around it transformed into something completely different from before.

Gradually, the roots of the divine tree firmly took hold of the earth, with only a small portion still exposed, and ceased to move.

The changes finally ended, and the earthquake subsided.

Most of the houses in the villages at the foot of the mountain had collapsed and were broken. People stared blankly at the golden tree that had suddenly appeared and covered half of the sky, remaining in a daze for a long time.

Xi Heng watched as the divine tree gradually stabilized, its brilliant light scattering outwards, and nodded.

"Planting them is quite simple."

The divine tree itself has a very strong ability to adapt. Even if it is planted in a dead and ashes, it will take root firmly and sprout new life.

Before our eyes, the area surrounding Yaowang Mountain was firmly occupied by golden light, with spiritual energy swirling around it.

Although there is no spirit-locking array in this world, and the spiritual energy will spontaneously fly upwards, there is a very powerful spiritual energy vortex inside the divine tree, which is enough to maintain abundant spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of meters.

Xi Heng then used this area as a base, thinking about the advanced version of the Fire Prison Great Locking Spirit Array that he had conceived during his previous rest, and also considering the location of the surrounding cities, adjusting the direction of the array so that the divine tree would not take root directly inside the city...

Having thus clearly defined the structure of the great formation in her mind, the girl transformed into a streak of fire and flew to another location to plant another divine tree.

The terrain changed dramatically amidst the roar, and the enormous divine tree fell onto the plain, almost flattening a large area.

The tree roots spread out and spread, creating a network of raised and recessed patterns around them, resembling nerve veins.

The girl ignored it, put down the one, and then disappeared, heading towards her next target.

Before the violent tremors from the previous divine tree had subsided, a new divine tree caused the earth to tremble with a deafening roar.

The golden giant tree took root in the mortal world one after another, crushing mountains, collapsing plains, and reshaping hills and forests.

As Xi Heng flew above the clouds, he saw that as he planted his seeds, golden floating islands with exactly the same shape and appearance were emerging in the sky.

Overall, the sacred tree has an extremely wide canopy, while the trunk is of a relatively normal size.

"It feels like a bunch of mushrooms... but these golden mushrooms are really too big," the girl thought to herself.

Then take out a divine tree from your inventory, and it will bloom on the ground below.

Thirty...

Fifty pills...

The area occupied by the divine tree was even larger than Xi Heng had initially anticipated.

It not only encompassed surrounding cities such as Jinshi City and Jian'an City, but also extended eastward to the coastal areas.

The prosperous region in the south of the Great Zhao was located in this area.

Due to the sudden and massive earthquake caused by the sacred tree, this area will likely be in chaos for some time.

Xi Heng didn't care about this. All she had to do now was plant golden mushrooms on the ground according to the array points she had envisioned.

"That's the 90th one. That's pretty fast."

In just two hours, it was almost finished.

After planting the remaining ten seeds one by one, Xi Heng used spatial magic to teleport back to the first seed he had planted.

Centered on this, lines of spiritual light are drawn out, first constructing the main array patterns in the spiritual vein area, and then constructing the array pattern along the main array patterns like a spider weaving a web, gradually filling the large array completely.

This process was quite tedious and complicated. In order to speed up the process, Xi Heng used his external transformation technique to create nine clones to draw a giant array together.

The principle of the Spirit Gathering Array is simple, and even cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can understand and learn it. However, because it is too huge, Xi Heng still needs to spend a lot of time and effort to draw it slowly.

Without the spiritual power provided by the divine tree, her own spiritual power would not have been sufficient to draw this array.

Thick lines of spiritual light flashed and quickly lengthened along with Xi Heng's figure, either extending directly to the end of the formation or bending and combining with other formation patterns.

Ten figures of Xi Heng drew the crude shape of the Spirit Gathering Array within a single day.

Then, it took another month to refine it, allowing its spiritual energy gathering ability to increase layer by layer and accumulate towards the very center.

Based on a hundred sacred trees, a true spiritual vein was formed.

After more than a month of minor adjustments, the grand formation was finally completed.

Xi Heng exhaled and ordered the other nine avatars to return to the central divine tree in the sky. When he put them back into his body, he suddenly felt a fatigue that he had not experienced for a long time.

The two and a half months of sleepless nights spent solely observing and drawing array patterns have already taken a toll on her mental well-being.

When he retracted his avatar, the influence multiplied tenfold, causing Xi Heng to subconsciously want to find a bed to sleep in.

So he entered the inner space of the divine tree and conjured a red crystal bed to lie down.

The hard stone bed conformed to my body, and the sensation became soft.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

……

When I woke up, it was already half a year after the save file was loaded.

She slept for three months, and the outside world had undergone changes unprecedented in previous lifetimes due to the descent of the divine tree:

Many Taoist sects with some cultivation traditions have felt the spiritual energy shifting to this place, and so far, some talented individuals have cultivated to the point of Qi Refining, gaining extraordinary power and surpassing the strength of most ordinary martial artists.

Taoist and Buddhist sects have sprung up everywhere, claiming that the sacred tree is a divine gift from heaven sent by true immortals or bodhisattvas to help mortals transcend the mundane world.

The Buddhist and Taoist forces rapidly recruited many martial artists, causing even Donghuangmei Mountain to nearly collapse. Most of the powerful figures sought refuge in spiritual energy and went to the location of the divine tree to try their hand at cultivation.

Under the protection of the divine tree, progress was rapid.

In a short period of time, the strength of the martial artists of the Great Zhao Dynasty was greatly enhanced. Some of them broke through the martial arts realm, while others made some progress on the path of spiritual cultivation.

Meanwhile, the Southern Tianliang Army also came into contact with the spiritual power of the divine tree. General Fang Tiande obtained a simple cultivation method from somewhere and shared it with his generals and civil officials, and they practiced together.

Upon learning of the divine tree's arrival, the most eager person was still Zhao Qianyuan, who was far away in the capital.

He immediately put aside his affairs of state and led his imperial guards to the south, where divine trees were abundant, to search for them. With his years of research on cultivation and his decent talent, he advanced to the third level of Qi Refining in just a few months.

After completing it, just as they were about to return to the capital, they discovered that the spiritual energy had been lost along the way and could only be preserved under the protection of the divine tree.

After some hesitation, he resolutely announced the relocation of the capital to the Southern Dynasty, built a large palace in Jinshi City, and continued his cultivation under the divine tree.

The relocation of the capital was a huge drain on resources and manpower, and many precious treasures and rare stones that had been transported to the capital had to be moved back to the south, causing widespread sorrow among the people.

However, before the city was completed, Fang Tiande, who had also reached the third level of Qi Refining, led his troops to attack Jinshi City, where Zhao Qianyuan resided.

With overwhelming military force, they conquered cities and seized territories, waging fierce and arduous battles, their soldiers' blood and marrow flowing freely.

Although the world here has gained divine trees and abundant spiritual energy, the chaos and wars have not ceased; on the contrary, they have intensified even more than before.

In previous lives, Tianliang would not march in the harsh winter, but with the golden light of the divine tree and abundant spiritual power, the energy and stamina of everyone and the soldiers increased by several times. The weather was also milder, and there was no ice and snow blocking the ground, so they could continue to march and fight.

The Zhao state hastily ordered its northern frontier army to return to the south, but this required a long journey and was much slower than the Tianliang army, which marched daily and plundered as it went to sustain itself.

To this day, the Tianliang army has already reached the gates of Jinshi City.

Xi Heng finally recovered from his long-standing fatigue and woke up after a good night's sleep in the interior space of the central divine tree.

He calculated the time with his fingers and then twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I slept for more than three months straight, something that has never happened before."

I thought to myself: Perhaps the higher one's spiritual level and the longer one's lifespan, the less one will value time.

“My sense of time is becoming increasingly faint…” Xi Heng clicked his tongue and said, “It’s probably because building such a large spirit-gathering array takes too much effort.”

After pressing her temples, the girl sat up from the hardened bed surface and yawned, covering her mouth.

After a while, he adjusted his state, retrieved the spiritual fire that had transformed into a glass bed surface, and left this space.

"Five months have passed in the outside world. I wonder how things have developed." Xi Heng manipulated the spiritual power of the divine tree and used the spiritual consciousness method on the spirit gathering array to conjure several images in front of him.

After watching for a while, he muttered to himself:

"Nothing much has changed in the world. Tianliang is still conquering cities and seizing territories, the northern frontier is still under threat, and the Pure Fire Sect in the east is developing more vigorously than in previous lifetimes. As long as you join the sect, you can learn fire magic..."
