Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"The cultivators of Changpingjing can't even hold out for seven days? What are they doing?" She clicked her tongue, silently comparing the combat strength of both sides, and concluded that she would need to expend at least 70% of her spiritual power to win.

However, just as the fight was about to begin, a faint, illusory fluctuation caught her attention.

This feeling of fluctuation is familiar—similar fluctuations occurred in a previous life when the Black Tide invaded the central city.

This time, however, the sense of illusion is clearer and no longer elusive.

As soon as he realized it, Xi Heng stared at the source of the illusion.

A sweep of divine sense revealed that the space over there appeared to have been torn open by a rift.

This rift is seemingly real yet imperceptible; it is not purely a spatial ability. It does not separate reality from another distant reality, but rather reality from illusion.

"what is this?"

Xi Heng used his spatial abilities to sense the area, but he still couldn't understand where the rift led.

"The other side of the rift is full of illusions, yet there is some strange substance present..." She took half a step. She immediately came to the side of this object and sensed a strange pull.

Some of the surrounding Kuroshio Currents were also drawn in by this force and never returned.

She then thought of all the virtual-related concepts in Changpingjing, and after a moment she muttered to herself:

"Did the chief of the Jin Yuan Sect develop the virtual game industry to its extreme for this? Was it to create a sanctuary in the virtual world to protect everyone? Or something even more fantastical?"

She doesn't have a deep understanding of the concepts of truth and falsehood, and can't discern much from the outside world.

Xi Heng tilted his head and took another step closer.

She was curious about this, and since she couldn't understand it from the outside, she decided to go inside and take a look.

The girl ignored the ever-present black tide and reached out to touch the illusory crack.

Just as she was about to touch him, another delicate arm reached out from the crevice, as if sensing something, and tried to grasp her wrist as well.

Although she didn't know what it was, she let the other person grab it.

Then, a sense of virtuality spread through the arm in front of my eyes.

First, it covers the arms, then the torso, legs, and the whole body.

The illusion also enveloped her vision, a flash of blue light followed by a flowing rainbow.

The girl subconsciously took another half step forward, and the rainbow transformed into a spinning icon shaped like a musical note, followed by a calm female voice that sounded as if an electronic device screen were being turned on:

"Welcome to the Imaginary Number Domain."

"Huh?" Xi Heng was stunned.

Before I could even figure out what was going on, the icons in my field of vision turned into particle effects and scattered, forming a crystal mirror as tall as a person.

The mirror shimmered, reflecting her figure.

At the same time, lines of text gradually appeared on the surface of the mirror:

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Nascent Soul]

[Source: The Realm of Five Elements Treasures]

[Special Traits: Blood of the White Phoenix and the Soaring Swan (Acquired), Fire-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root (Superior Grade), Intent Strength, Flame of Resentment, Sword Forging Marks, Mortal Nature, Self-Existent Space...]

[Mindset: Heaven and Earth are not what they used to be]

【…】

Further down, some of the text has been replaced with ellipses.

"What is all this...?" Xi Heng rubbed his temples, unable to process the changes before him. "Imaginary Number Domain? I've never heard of such a place. And why is the system panel so detailed?"

Even the system panel in my own save/load space wasn't this detailed, and I was seen right through by this mirror the moment I was pulled into this place...

The Nascent Soul cultivator from Changpingjing who created the virtual rift could never have done something like that.

Therefore, everything before our eyes should not have been created by the other party. That person may have cultivated some secret technique that connects the realms of truth, falsehood, and reality, thus connecting to this so-called imaginary domain.

The white-haired girl stared at herself in the mirror for a moment, pondering, and could only guess at this conclusion.

A prompt appeared in the mirror: Do you need to adjust your appearance?

Xi Heng's lips twitched: "What? There's a character customization feature? Is the so-called Imaginary Realm just a game?"

The other party actually answered: "The Imaginary Domain was created from the reflection in the eyes of a True Immortal when he looked around the universe. After the collapse of the heavens, it was transformed by the Heavenly Venerable Zhi Cang to protect all living beings."

"There's so much information!" The girl was momentarily at a loss for words, a series of questions popping into her mind.

A true immortal can create a new world with just a glance... Is it really that powerful?

Furthermore, what realm is the Celestial Venerable, and who is Zhi Cang?

I came here to deal with the Black Tide, so how did I suddenly end up in another realm? And this realm seems pretty powerful?

Before long, the mirror continued to display text:

"Do I need to have my appearance altered?"

"No need, no need." Xi Heng waved his hands repeatedly, interrupted from his thoughts.

The mirrored text then changed to: "Please enter your nickname."

She blinked:

"It really is just a game..."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 342, The Fish and Dragon Spreads

Inside a rather bizarre and illusory world.

A faint white light emanated from the surroundings. Before Xi Heng stood a crystal mirror as tall as a person. As her image was reflected, some words continued to appear:

[Received nickname: Is this really a game? Confirm?]

"..."

Xi Heng wanted to ask, what is all this about...?

I came here to fight the Black Tide, so why did I suddenly change places because of a moment of curiosity, and now I'm registering an account as if I'm logging into some new stealth game?

She pressed her temples, trying to maintain a natural state of mind, and replied:

"no."

This registration system is also strange; it allows you to enter any random sentence you say as a nickname.

If you accidentally confirm it, can you still make changes inside the imaginary number boundary?

If I can't change it, am I supposed to carry this nickname around the world?

In short, the mirrored text is changed again: "Please re-enter your nickname".

"Xi Heng," the girl said, feigning calmness.

The posture reflected in the mirror also became somewhat more stable.

Xi Heng hadn't looked in the mirror in a long time, and when he looked again this time, he felt a little unfamiliar with himself—his image was so perfect that he couldn't quite understand it.

"Does the blood of the White Phoenix really increase one's appearance that much?"

Before obtaining the White Phoenix bloodline, Xi Heng's image was not as fantastical as it is now.

After silently repeating these indifferent thoughts, the mirror reminded me again:

"Are you sure?"

"confirm."

"Nickname decided: Xi Heng." Mirror image shifts: "Enter imaginary space immediately?"

"Yes, yes," the girl waved her hand.

Suddenly the mirror stopped reflecting light and stopped reflecting light, as if it had turned into a rough stone and remained in place.

Then the stone twisted into a water flow pattern, and then transformed into a vortex emitting a bluish-green light.

A directional arrow appeared in front of the girl, directing her to walk into it.

Without further hesitation, Xi Heng stepped forward.

The moment your toes step into the vortex, a suction force envelops your entire body, and then your vision is filled with colorful lights.

As the vision gradually cleared, the circular icon resembling a musical note reappeared, and a calm female voice spoke again:

"Welcome to the Imaginary Number Domain."

Then the view shifts, as if following the camera's twist to look up.

Against a clear sky, five concentric rings appear in the center, decreasing in size from bottom to top.

The introduction began: "A thousand years ago, the Celestial Venerable Zhi Cang of the Illusory Numbers survived a great calamity and was about to ascend to immortality, but the Heavenly Dao collapsed, a great disaster descended upon the world, the path to immortality was severed, and the immortal realm disappeared... The Celestial Venerable then returned to the mortal world, transformed the world of reflections, and created the current Illusory Numbers, gathering hundreds of millions of cultivators and protecting all people under heaven."

The scene changes with each half-sentence the other person utters.

Or it may appear some exaggerated images or paintings, or full scenes—all depicting the scenes described in the words.

"There's even an opening animation... Are you sure this isn't a game?" Xi Heng had a strong sense of déjà vu.

After several creation animations, a general introduction to the entire imaginary world follows:

The female voice said that the Imaginary Realm has five layers: Heavenly Mountain, Cultivation World, Human World, Netherworld, and Abyss.

The Heavenly Mountain is where several Venerable Ones and Dao-Merging cultivators reside. The Human Realm is the largest, accommodating a vast number of mortals. The Cultivation Realm is naturally the place where a large number of cultivators reside, used for cultivation and advancement. The Netherworld is the place where some heretical cultivators, death energy cultivators, and ghosts reside. The Abyss is the place where resentment, evil, and demons—things that are opposite to cultivators—are sealed.

From top to bottom, the representative color of each layer becomes increasingly deep and dark, until the abyss at the bottom layer, which turns into pure black.

As the opening animation gradually ended, the camera guided Xi Heng's gaze downwards, revealing a small, emerald-green world.

A golden tree is taking root in the center of this small world, which is clearly related to the Netherworld.

A feeling of falling followed—she was being pulled by the small world below.

At the same time, another warning sound came:

"The Senluo Domain and the Imaginary Domain have only been linked for a short time, and the power of the imaginary numbers has not yet begun to expand, making it difficult to directly connect to the Great Realm of Cultivators at present," the voice said.

We've already covered so much, and now we're talking about this...

Xi Heng clicked his tongue.

"Furthermore, a black tide is raging, and its resentment is being slowly assimilated by the power of the imaginary numbers, being sent into this rift to be gradually eradicated," the female voice explained.

"It is predicted that the Black Tide will gradually subside in a hundred years, and the power of the Imaginary Number will be able to cover the entire world and establish a connection."

"So, once the Black Tide disappears, we can really go inside?" Xi Heng asked again.

"exactly."

"In the end, we still have to fight the Black Tide first, right?" The girl's actions had come full circle, returning to where they started.

She had thought she could conserve some spiritual energy and directly enter another world.

It seems that what needs to be done still needs to be done.

“Then I’ll just repel the Kuroshio Current; there’s no need to wait another hundred years,” she said.

The female voice simply replied with two words, "Received," before bringing up another matter: "Please rate this guidance session."

"..." Xi Heng was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What is the maximum score?"

"very."

"Six points, I'd say," she said.

"We have received your reply. Is there anything we are dissatisfied with that needs improvement?"

"I didn't take into account my sudden and confused feelings, so I'll give it a six out of ten." Xi Heng yawned. "The guidance service is over, right? Then you can leave."

"It still retains the guide function that cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can enjoy." The other party's calm voice gradually took on a more human quality.

Xi Heng faintly heard a sound of a little tongue sticking out.

The sound was fleeting, and it was unclear whether it was real or not.

"Guide?"

The other party did not answer, but only emitted tiny specks of light beside her.

The faint light gathered in front of her, transforming into a round glass mirror the size of her palm.
