Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal
Page 516
Chen Fenghuo tried to step aside towards the side of the stone wall, and saw Su Xuanhua leaning down and entering the stone door before it was fully open.
The other person's toes stepped over drops of blood, but were unaffected.
She, on the other hand, must protect herself with layers of spiritual light to achieve a similar effect.
"Perhaps she is the only one who can save the world. I am just a sidekick who will die at any time on the road." Chen Fenghuo muttered to himself.
Just as the stone gate was about to open fully and we were about to enter, auditory hallucinations began to resurface.
Xi Heng said, "How could that be? Your luck is much better than anyone else's."
"..."
Auditory hallucinations caused by eerie phenomena are usually unresponsive, but this voice was so real that she subconsciously uttered a "no".
She had just opened her lips when she forcibly pulled the sound back.
But the sound did indeed come out... Chen Fenghuo stopped in his tracks, peering around to see what strange things were emerging or erupting.
Ten seconds passed, and there was no sound.
"A delayed trick?" she muttered, frowning, and began casting various spells around herself as a form of defense.
“I’m not a ghost,” Xi Heng said from the side.
In the world of imaginary numbers, inside the Qing Palace.
The moment Xi Heng noticed the anomaly, she moved Chen Fenghuo to her and Yin Wanluan's bedroom.
After putting away the various toys, storybooks, and small categories of martial arts manuals, he placed Chen Fenghuo on the bed.
The other party often muttered to himself in a hazy state, as if it were Chen Fenghuo from another world.
When she responded, she could sense that Chen Fenghuo could hear her, but he did not respond.
In his distress, after saying "I am not a ghost," Xi Heng slowly added:
"The world you live in is called Xuanxiao, right?"
"I am currently searching for that realm to help you save the world, but unfortunately, after a long search, there is still no news about Xuanxiao... Could you tell me the actual coordinates of that place? Or its relative coordinates to the Great Zhao and the Pure Fire Realm?"
"I will go as soon as possible."
"..."
After he finished speaking, he received no response whatsoever.
The girl clicked her tongue and then placed one hand on the other person's brow.
In the distance, Chen Fenghuo felt a warm sensation between his brows, knowing that this new and strange phenomenon was about to erupt.
However, the layers of protection she had set up around her failed to produce any fluctuations.
It was as if there was nothing strange about it at all.
"Has the strange rank increased again? The existing protective methods are no longer effective," Chen Fenghuo thought to himself, pursing his lips.
"Even as a Nascent Soul cultivator, I am utterly powerless to resist... Is there really any hope for this world?"
A somber mood enveloped her mind, subconsciously drawing her to step into the blood river beside her.
Just keep falling, and you won't have to care about anything else.
However, the Nascent Soul cultivator's resolve was firm, and after a moment he recovered and continued to follow Su Xuanhua into the stone gate.
At this moment, Su Xuanhua had reached the depths and was squatting in front of a skeleton wrapped in a black and red robe, silently searching with his spiritual light.
Suddenly, as if by magic, he grabbed a piece of paper and examined it.
"What did you find?" Chen Fenghuo quickly approached, turning his attention back to reality from the strange situation.
"The note left by the Crimson Sect... contains the secrets of the outer void, and is related to the Blood Tide."
"Can it be spoken?"
"The blood tide has not yet infected the writing. What is written is that there are high and low places in the void. The blood tide does not infect Xuanxiao through contact, but falls straight down like a waterfall." Su Xuanhua squinted and said, "The protection that the elders and the others set up at the cost of their lives can only hold for a moment like an umbrella. Once the waterfall breaks the umbrella, an even more magnificent blood tide will engulf the world."
"As expected, it is the hopeless end that the Crimson River Sect spoke of..." Chen Fenghuo sighed softly.
“To truly stop it, one must elevate oneself to the same level as the blood tide before setting up a dike.” She clenched her fist and said, “To achieve this, one must either become an immortal or become a natural disaster of equal status.”

Volume 1: Chapter 363, Yearning
Xuanxiao Realm, deep underground in the southern region.
Deep within a secluded cave of the Crimson River Sect, two young girls arrived.
This stone chamber serves as a private cultivation room for the sect's elders, containing mostly cultivation tools, with a blood well standing within it.
The blood tide caused the blood in the well to swell, which is why it flowed out and became a river.
The cave dwelling was not originally so polluted, and it should have been square and regular, like the halls and palaces.
But now, the bloodstains have completely stained the surrounding decorations.
The dark red beams that supported the structure were all eroded, the inscriptions on the surface were blurred and indistinct, and large and small wormholes were drilled in all directions, as if they had been eaten away countless times and turned black and rotten.
The surface cloud patterns and talisman protection were all breached, only the strongest and most solid stone door remained intact.
However, the floor below was stained with blood, which seeped outwards from under the stone gate, forming a river. The pollution spread and caused all kinds of insects buried deep underground to become stained with blood and turn into strange, chaotic, and terrifying creatures.
Some insects even merge with the bizarre, gaining supernatural powers that are difficult for cultivators to resist, thus invading people's minds.
At this moment, Chen Fenghuo, who was in the cave, believed that he was being influenced by some powerful and strange force, causing him to be unsettled.
The reason why this peculiar anomaly cannot be detected by magic is that the calamity has evolved and bypassed conventional cultivator spells.
She has also prepared to temporarily entrust her nascent soul to a friend, and then reunite her physical body upon returning to her sanctuary.
In this way, the vast majority of blood tide contamination can be eliminated.
However, there is some pollution that even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot escape.
While it may not lead to death, it will significantly weaken a cultivator's strength—several of their companions who had previously sought a way to save them lost their ability to go out and act because of this.
'Hopefully, if I give my Nascent Soul to Su Xuanhua, who is immune to this, I can avoid this kind of contamination,' Chen Fenghuo thought silently, supporting his weakened body.
Just as I finished thinking about it, Xi Heng's voice came to my ear again:
"What kind of person is Su Xuanhua, whom you just mentioned?"
Although she had already heard it from Chen Fenghuo on her side, it would be good to hear it from the other side as well.
Chen Fenghuo remained silent, only thinking to himself: 'Those thoughts I had in my mind were heard; it seems this is indeed a strange phenomenon primarily designed to disturb the mind…'
'It hasn't erupted yet, but it's probably just a continuous psychological impact... I need to find a way to escape as soon as possible.'
"I'm not a monster. Although I'm often mistaken for some kind of vengeful spirit, I'm actually a normal human being." Xi Heng thought for a moment and then said:
"When I first arrived in the Imaginary Realm and was tested, it said that I had a strong mortal nature... so there's absolutely nothing strange about it."
'Why can the strange things in my mind hear what I'm thinking...' Chen Fenghuo wanted to sigh, but he knew he couldn't react too much to the strange things, so he held back and calmed himself down to face reality.
Before him, the silver-haired, blue-eyed Su Xuanhua held a yellow paper slip he had taken from the corpse's robes, and softly read a few lines of text:
"Only by elevating oneself to the level of the blood tide can a dike be erected..."
As Chen Fenghuo listened intently, he heard Xi Heng's response again:
"I've already said I'm not a ghost. The reason I can hear you is naturally because you're talking to yourself about what you're thinking over there."
The blonde girl in the underground realm of Xuanxiao tried her best to ignore it, even using her Dao Heart to clear away all distracting thoughts, focusing only on the reality before her.
"To achieve this, one must either become an immortal or become a calamity of equal rank..." Su Xuanhua's tone deepened as he continued reading:
"Only in this way can we stand at a height equal to that of the Blood Tide."
"..."
Chen Fenghuo was stunned for a moment, then slowly uttered two words: "Become an immortal?"
"Achieving immortality is impossible. Perhaps reaching the realm beyond Dao Integration is possible, but it remains impossible for cultivators in this world." The other person shook their head.
"To put it bluntly, we must climb to a certain level before we can end this apocalypse."
"Then, how should we begin?" Chen Fenghuo was completely clueless.
"I have an idea, maybe we can give it a try." Su Xuanhua wasn't sure, but he raised his hand and plucked a strand of silver hair from beside his cheek.
With a gentle rubbing of his fingers, the strand of hair was reflected in his pupils.
A few seconds later, she turned back and saw that Chen Fenghuo's state was becoming increasingly hazy, and whispered:
"Let's complete this mission first and then seal off this blood well."
"Okay." The blonde girl slowly made two hand gestures, drawing inscriptions and sticking them to her palm.
Blood Wells are among the few sources in the world that continuously supply blood tides and contamination.
More than a year ago, the elders of many sects in the Xuanxiao Realm, the reclusive cultivators, and the Tiansi Temple, which was built to resist natural disasters, joined forces to use three forbidden techniques to support the world and seal off the blood tide that was constantly pouring in from the outside and eroding the heavens and earth.
From then on, the world was no longer filled with blood rain that endlessly polluted the heavens and earth.
Although the void no longer sends pollution into the realm, the sea, which has been stained red, remains, and the surface of the earth is still shrouded in a red haze.
The existing blood tide monsters and anomalies will not disappear due to the break in the link with the void; they will continue to evolve and grow larger.
Previously, after Chen Fenghuo advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he was still able to travel freely.
Even now, while living in the outside world, he can only follow behind Su Xuanhua, who is unaffected by the strange calamities...
This operation is to shut down the blood wells that are still connected to the Void Blood Tide, which were once summoned by the elders of the Crimson River Sect for cultivation.
In reality, the Blood Well was already heavily sealed off, so it didn't have much impact on the world.
Whether it's closed or not doesn't really matter.
What the two of them are doing now is only a minor achievement.
Just now, Chen Fenghuo heard that the void blood tide had not been completely blocked, and that the sacrifice of many great cultivators in the Xuanxiao Realm was merely to provide a temporary safety net for the realm.
Sooner or later, this umbrella will be eroded and broken, and the real blood tide will come again.
These pieces of news added to her heavy mood.
The process of sealing the Blood Well remained calm; it could be done smoothly simply by using one of the secret techniques that the Crimson Sect had revealed when the natural disaster struck.
Before long, under the spiritual light transmitted by the two, the water in the blood well slowly became clear.
It changed from viscous blood red to light red, and then to a transparent color.
Other impurities in the water were also purified by magic, eventually becoming so clear that the bottom could be seen.
Su Xuanhua collected the blood droplets from the bottom of the well, then turned around and calmly said:
"Success! Let's go back."
Chen Fenghuo murmured, "In this way, can it be considered a salvation for this world?"
"You could say that," the other person replied without hesitation.
Chen Fenghuo, on the other hand, saw no hope whatsoever; even escaping this world seemed impossible.
The surrounding void was filled with blood, and the airship's protective aura could not break through it.
The Xuanxiao Realm is like a death cell, where living beings either submit to the blood tide or face certain death.
However, once they submit, they can transform into monsters, which is no different from death...
"Is the situation on your end that bad?" Xi Heng's voice came to my ears again.
The blonde girl ignored them and simply followed Su Xuanhua to search the secret room.
Only after the blood-red stream disappeared did he slowly walk away, supporting his body.
As you step out of the stone gate and return to the corridor, which has long been polluted and shaped into an irregular form, the sense of mental haze becomes even more pronounced.
Her gaze was unfocused, her consciousness was being pulled away, as if she were about to be taken to another place.
"It seems we can't hold on any longer..." Chen Fenghuo confirmed.
She then tried her best to calm herself down and said to Su Xuanhua in front of her, "If you see me lying unconscious on the ground, just draw out the Nascent Soul and put it away to return."
The other person turned around, glanced at him, and nodded solemnly, saying okay.
Upon hearing this, the strange pull intensified, drawing her attention away from her mind.
