Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

During this time, two strings of killing and bloodshed trembled beside her, but she ignored them.

As they continued forward, even more of the relevant Heavenly Dao resonated with them.

After an unknown amount of time, Xi Heng glimpsed a trace of time perception amidst the dense sea of ​​strings—this Heavenly Dao still existed intact, and had not been damaged by the collapse of the heavens back then, as the cultivators outside had said.

The shape of the string related to time is significantly different from that of other strings.

It is not vertical like the other strings, but rather surrounds the string forest.

It's as if the other strings are being gathered together from the center.

Xi Heng's consciousness exists in a place of convergence, and he can clearly feel that the surrounding string forest is being bound by the lines of time.

Upon realizing this, the entire forest of strings in the image immediately transformed into a funnel shape, with the strings at the top and bottom being distant and scattered from each other.

In the very center of the funnel, where all the strings are densely packed together, one is in the narrowest part of the funnel.

Xi Heng didn't know if the String of Time was always like this, or if time had always been just a small part of the String Forest, not as special as it is now.

However, it is clear that the cultivators' conjectures were wrong—the Heavenly Dao of Time was not damaged at all; on the contrary, it was even more powerful than all other Daos.

At least in this forest of strings, it is like a river surrounding an isolated island, tightly holding and commanding the other strings.

Perhaps there are two or three more special strings that are not affected by it, but overall, time clearly occupies a dominant position in this celestial order.

Xi Heng silently parted the two other strings that would tremble as he approached, bypassed them, and moved toward the edge of the lines of time.

The closer you get, the clearer you can feel the threads of time turning in circles.

As her thoughts drew closer, those distant timelines seemed to expand uncontrollably due to the projection of her emotions.

Ultimately, the string of time transformed into a long river in her heart, flowing and surging forward.

The countless other strings transformed into a dense forest behind them.

She stood at the edge of the forest, quietly gazing at the mighty river that surrounded and encroached upon the entire forest.

The pale golden river water made a gentle sound with each ripple, always making Xi Heng feel the passage of time in his heart.

The power of the Time Stone Mother from the outside world also flowed around her body, causing the power of time within her body to resonate with the nodes of the Time Sea.

A soft humming sound lingered in her ears as time passed, and the white-haired girl took a step forward amidst her mental imagery.

The closer one gets to the golden river before them, the more one can feel the power of time flowing into their body and mind.

The nodes she left in the Sea of ​​Time, due to their proximity to the Avenue of Time, are propelled further into the future by the ocean currents.

Consequently, the 'future' that Xi Heng could see was also a little further away.

The ascension array was activated, unleashing a massive amount of spiritual energy that surged towards Chao Xiheng's main body.

The true power of the Nascent Soul directly acts on the spiritual veins and the formation itself, drawing out vast spiritual power that spreads across a radius of ten thousand meters and endlessly flows into the main body.

The spiritual energy rushed into the meridians, was compressed into spiritual liquid by Xi Heng, and then directly absorbed into the Nascent Soul, which had grown considerably.

The nascent soul is no longer large in head and small in body. Although it is not as large as the original body, it is at least the size of a normal human eight or nine years old.

The massive amount of spiritual energy caused a tide to flow in, allowing it to continue to grow.

His own cultivation level has also surpassed the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and entered a higher level.

However, before truly achieving Dao integration, these new and immense cultivation levels are still in a state of flux and have not yet been truly fixed.

In his mind, Xi Heng leans towards the pale golden river of time, intending to extract a wisp of the Dao from those segments of time to harmonize with himself.

Each step taken in the imagery is like reliving a past experience, allowing one to reaffirm their resolve.

Countless spiritual energies stretched and took shape in the imagery, transforming into a bamboo water cup of moderate size, just like the one Xi Heng used back in the Red Thread Sword Academy.

As you walk, the power of time merges with your mind and spirit.

Her clothes gradually changed back to the simple garments she wore in the original pharmacy, and her hair color and face also changed as if time were flowing backward.

Going a step further, it will resemble the Sword Academy.

Keep moving forward, keep transforming.

From General Zhao, Emperor Tian Zhao, all the way through his life, he has evolved into his current form in the Mirror of Heaven.

After once again integrating the past and the present, the barrier between Xi Heng and the Heavenly Dao of Time weakened again.

The bamboo tube in her hand eventually transformed into a golden cup, which was then placed into the water by her slender fingers as she reached the pale golden river.

The river water touched my fingers, but I easily shook it off.

She took only half a cup from the surging river, sipped it, and swallowed it.

The cool river water flowed into my body, and a strong sense of Dao permeated my entire being.

Xi Heng simply closed his eyes and silently left this dreamlike imagery.

When the senses are released again, the mind has already returned to the physical body in reality.

The Time Stone Mother before her had faded to gray, and its power had been absorbed by her along with the surging tide of spiritual light.

Xi Heng used the Dao of Time he derived from the imagery to solidify his rapidly growing cultivation, truly stepping into the threshold of the Dao Integration Realm.

The nascent soul, which looked about eight or nine years old, grew into a young girl as it was filled with the power of time and a massive amount of spiritual light.

The pale red nascent soul's body was tinged with the golden hue of time, as if it were draped in a dress woven from gold thread.

The celestial order of time merged with the nascent soul, making its appearance increasingly refined.

Then, his specific appearance gradually changed to the image of himself that Xi Heng had engraved in his heart some time ago.

From the person I was when I first loaded the save file, to the person I am now, and even to the person I am at a future point in the sea of ​​time.

This cycle repeats itself until it finally settles on its current form.

The spiritual energy tides from all directions became even more violent, while Xi Heng's true form seemed to transform into a black hole, absorbing countless amounts of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy was boundless and inexhaustible, and she herself seemed to absorb everything that came without any bottleneck.

The golden patterns of time on the surface of the nascent soul are also reflected on the surface of the body, either falling on the skin of the fingertips or adorning the clothes and hair.

A shimmering, twisting circular pattern appeared between Xi Heng's brows, and the boundary wheel behind it twisted directly into two interlocking rings.

As the growing nascent soul merged completely with the original body until they became indistinguishable, a faint vibration reached his ears, and the barrier between his mind and body vanished without a trace.

There was no longer any distinction between this side and that side of the door; she had stepped into the threshold of the Dao Integration Realm.

Xi Heng slowly opened his eyelashes, and a faint golden ring appeared in his pupils.

Before they could fully perceive the true power of the Dao Integration Realm, a tremendous tremor shook the heavens.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth gathered here, a small portion of which was being infused into her body along with spiritual power, while the majority transformed into dark clouds that gathered in the sky, bringing with them terrifying heavenly might and creating a wild dance of golden snakes and thunder.

Thunder roared, and its power expanded in waves, bringing a strong sense of threat and oppression to the heart.

The girl looked up at the sky and saw lightning flashing wildly in the dim light.

"The tribulation has arrived." She put aside her thoughts of sensing the changes within her body and prepared to face this tribulation.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 388, Brilliant Lightning

Boom——

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and the sky was filled with blackness.

Thick, golden lightning bolts danced wildly through the narrow gaps in the clouds, flashing nearby one second and then disappearing into the distance the next.

The intense power of heaven and earth converged and condensed within a radius of ten thousand meters.

The oppressive feeling sank deeper and deeper without any attempt to conceal it, as if gravity had suddenly increased dozens or even hundreds of times, making Xi Heng feel increasingly heavy while the ground became increasingly loose.

She is like a golden mound stuck in the desert; if you're not careful, you'll sink into it.

The advancement formation was activated, resisting the raging heavenly lightning.

Amidst the explosions, golden lightning flashed across the four directions of the sky once more.

Xi Heng tilted his head back, letting the lightning reflect into his pupils.

Just by looking at it, one's soul will be repeatedly impacted.

She was in a good state of mind and spirit, which is why she was not hurt by the sight.

But the tremor still lingered, and the organism's innate fear of thunder unconsciously surfaced in its mind.

As if sensing her faint fear, the thunderbolts in the sky became even more dazzling.

She felt herself shrinking, first from a normal human body to half a body, then to the size of a kitten, then to an ant, and finally to a mayfly in the vastness of the world.

The surrounding world and the power of the Heavenly Dao appeared increasingly vast in her eyes, as if she herself had weakened a hundredfold, while the lightning tribulation had conversely increased a hundredfold.

Facing the tribulation of lightning in this world, Xi Heng always felt incredibly insignificant.

Thunder rumbled incessantly in the sky, while lightning flashed fiercely.

If it were to actually fall, I, this tiny mayfly, would probably vanish like smoke.

The tribulation lightning before her was simply beyond her current level of cultivation to withstand.

Half of Xi Heng's consciousness had been taken away by the scene of the lightning tribulation, while the other half remained calm, silently analyzing his current situation.

"There's always this feeling... like I only have the power of someone who has just entered the Qi Refining stage, yet I have to fight against the Dao Integration Tribulation."

"There is absolutely no hope of getting through this."

"This must be an illusion. I am well aware that my various abilities are theoretically quite strong... but for some reason, I suddenly lost that confidence that I could fight against everything when I saw the lightning tribulation."

"Is this one of the effects of the heavenly tribulation, or is it a result of the suppression brought about by the power of heaven and earth?"

In the moments before the lightning struck, Xi Heng was filled with various thoughts and tried to use magic to resist the mental shock.

Various calming spells circulated around his body repeatedly, only making the already calm part of Xi Heng even calmer, but failing to salvage the part of his mind that was being suppressed by the heavenly might.

"It's still a matter of mindset..."

A slight difference in mindset can lead to a difference of tens of thousands when facing heavenly tribulations, as if... there is simply no way to make up for it.

"No, it should be." Subconsciously feeling as insignificant as a mayfly, Xi Heng, with a calmer part of his consciousness, forcibly controlled his body to close his eyes and muttered to himself:

"This kind of fear shouldn't exist in me."

Intellectually there was no confusion, but the body did not follow the mind's lead, only recovering slightly.

It's just a little bigger than a mayfly in the sky.

The thunder was still terrifying; every flash of lightning on the surface of the sky carried a destructive force, as if it were about to destroy the world.

Xi Heng tried to use a magical artifact for protection, but although he sent his thoughts, his spiritual light was not activated.

Not to mention pinching fingers and chanting spells, or using other protective methods.

At most, she could only unconsciously send out the White Phoenix Pure Fire, which would transform into several phoenix tail shapes that surrounded and protected her.

With the protective barrier that comes with the advancement formation, it remains to be seen whether it can withstand the first lightning tribulation.

"With these weak defensive methods and the physical strength to withstand it, it should not be able to stop it."

"After all, I have only just entered the threshold of the Dao Integration Realm, and my physical strength has not improved... I need to absorb and refine the power of the lightning tribulation to truly improve my physical strength, and only then will I have the opportunity to rely on my physical body to withstand it."

"But now the magical support is too weak, so the first lightning tribulation must rely on the physical body that has not yet been upgraded, which is a real contradiction."

She concluded that, having failed to employ any defensive measures, she would likely be annihilated on the spot.

Xi Heng scanned his senses toward the spiritual treasure called Lei Zhenzi, which was used to fight against the lightning tribulation.

This item should be used when the lightning tribulation is at its most intense and turbulent. The larger the lightning storm, the stronger the protective effect of the spiritual treasure.

Even so, Lei Zhenzi also has a limit in terms of realm, which cannot be used to offset the final and most massive lightning tribulation.

Most cultivators use this item during the middle of the tribulation to give themselves a moment to recover and gather their true energy to face even stronger tribulations later.

Generally speaking, when facing the final tribulation of lightning, one can only rely on one's own true nature to resist it; other external objects have very little effect.

However, she didn't have time to think about what would happen next, and directly tried to send her spiritual light to Lei Zhenzi's location.

However, under the oppressive power of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy scattered uncontrollably, failing to activate the spiritual treasure or draw a protective spell.

"Tsk." Xi Heng withdrew his will and raised his head with only his tiny body.

Looking again at the bright dawn, I felt no fear on a rational level.

“My mental state is not bad in some ways, and you could even say it’s quite strong…” she muttered to herself.
