Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

She picked up the glass mirror that had been placed back on the table again and held it up to her eyes.

"I wonder if the reflection in the mirror is what is known as the Immortal Corpse."

Xi Heng tilted his head left and right, deliberately making a blank look.

Looking at the movements in the mirror, he slowly realized that it was not a celestial corpse, since there was absolutely no atmosphere related to immortals.

"Things are getting more and more complicated," she murmured. "Fortunately, there's no need to clean all these things up immediately."

"Whether the claim of the immortal corpse is true or false, and whether the inner demon is a true inner demon or a mortal inner corpse, we can slowly discern the truth in the future."

"As long as we return to the save/load space, we can temporarily leave behind all the problems at hand."

"Besides, I currently have no ability to solve the problems at hand."

Xi Heng placed the glass mirror back on the table, unaware of the faint light flashing in the pupils of the person reflected in the mirror.

"Just treat it as hearing a story, and continue doing what you're supposed to do."

"Perhaps we could use this as a clue to look for any related traces in the world when we go back in time to investigate various issues."

Xi Heng nodded slowly, storing the events that had just occurred in his memory.

Then, as if nothing had actually happened, he raised his hand and summoned back his avatar in the Jade Toad Realm.

She turned it into white flames that floated in front of her, then raised her hand and pulled it back into her body.

Half a minute later, the fusion was complete. Then, she remembered something and spoke to her inner voice in the empty room.

"There's something I need to ask you."

"..."

The room was silent; there was no answer.

"Is the Mortal Corpse still there?"

"What?" That lazy voice came from behind again: "Are you back already? Only a few minutes have passed in my mind... How many times have you reloaded this time? Why is there no change in your cultivation level?"

As soon as she came out, she started asking all sorts of questions.

Xi Heng always felt that he was not good at dealing with this type of person, so he pressed his temples before turning around to look at the figure that suddenly appeared behind him and said, "I haven't left yet."

"Then why did you call me here? Don't tell me you've run out of save points." The man crossed his arms in front of his chest, adopting a distant attitude as if to say, "Don't bother me unless it's important."

"The save file was already set, but before I leave, I have one more question." The white-haired girl suppressed the urge to complain and asked the question that had just popped into her head:

"You three corpses shouldn't just be fixed in this save file, right...? After I load the save, you should still exist?"

"That's a question," the other person said, tapping their cheek with their index finger after a moment's thought.

"It's too complicated to explain in detail, and I don't really want to go into a long explanation... Besides, we don't have time. The movie we like is still playing. Why don't you try asking Xianxin Shi again? She should be able to tell you. Anyway, goodbye!"

The corpse of the mortal heart spoke faster and faster towards the end, until the last four words were almost a single breath.

Before the words had even faded, she vanished in the blink of an eye.

“What an unreliable guy…” Xi Heng didn’t know what to say.

Just as the other person said, I grabbed the mirror on the table.

He stood there, adopted a serious posture, and asked in a calm and careful voice:

"Excuse me, in the world after I reload my save file, do you three corpses still exist?"

He secretly hoped that this serious demeanor would allow the immortal corpse, supposedly residing in the mirror, to appear for a moment.

As soon as the voice fell, the figure in the mirror suddenly moved on its own and opened its mouth:

"It both exists and does not exist."

So it really does respond, huh? — Xi Heng thought to himself.

The truth of the "Three Corpses" theory became more firmly established in her mind.

"Why?"

"When the cycle of cause and effect is fulfilled, the question of existence or non-existence will be clearly defined; before that, it is merely a matter of either existence or non-existence."

"To exist or not to exist? Can a person simultaneously exist in both states of 'existence' and 'non-existence'?"

"Okay." The reflection in the mirror simply nodded calmly, uttering this single word.

"But if that's the case, does that mean you won't exist if I don't complete the cycle of cause and effect? ​​All those things about clones traveling through time, consuming elixirs, and turning into three corpses are just baseless illusions?" Xi Heng asked.

"Yes." The other person nodded again.

Seeing that the person in the mirror had so readily accepted her statement, Xi Heng hesitated for a moment, then slowly said;

"If things I might or might not do can directly determine everything that happened in the past... wouldn't that create complete chaos?"

"The past is not something fixed; it exists simultaneously with the present and the future," the Immortal Corpse said, shaking its head. "As the destined Immortal of Time, you should have known this long ago."

For some reason, Xi Heng saw a hint of disappointment in his reflection in the mirror.

"Don't be disappointed. You said I'm some kind of Time Immortal, so I'll definitely be very powerful in the future." Xi Heng subconsciously comforted himself and the other person.

Although, it was originally the same person.

However, the Immortal Corpse did not react to these words, but continued: "This world is the most 'real' world for us three corpses. The cycle of cause and effect has been perfected. If you want to sever your three corpses and become an immortal, this is the best place for you."

"Okay, okay, the file has been saved."

"In other areas, before the cycle of cause and effect is completed, our three corpses can be regarded as nothing." The Immortal Corpse replied, and its figure in the mirror blurred for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the mirror showed Xi Heng's ordinary reflection again, no longer capable of independent action.

"The Immortal Corpse seems to be a 'me' that lacks humanity," Xi Heng silently concluded in his heart, then thought to himself, "I wonder what my final Immortal Corpse will look like..."

Fan Xinshi said that the guy could be seen as a more extreme version of her, and that she needed to be careful when getting close to him.

But I don't know what the word 'ultimate' means.

I don't understand.

"Never mind, I can think about this kind of thing slowly when I have time later."

The question before her had already been answered by the Immortal Corpse—in other save files, as long as the clones were not sent outside the void, there was no need to care about the existence of the Three Corpses.

Before that, the so-called Three Corpses were probably like Schrödinger's cat, a superposition of existence and non-existence, and therefore there was no need to worry about them.

"I've asked all the questions, it's time to go."

Without hesitation, Xi Heng flicked his finger, causing himself to vanish into a ball of spiritual fire.

When you close your eyes and open them again, the surrounding scenery changes from the main hall of the Spirit Fire Space to a dark-toned loading space.

Above the endless gray, the simple words "Load Save" are displayed.

The girl turned her gaze to the personal interface next to her.

After ignoring the names, realms, and long lifespans that are no longer of concern, it is clear that there is one less chance to save the game, with only two remaining.

However, if she wanted, she could easily find several cultivation techniques from vengeful cultivators to continue advancing her skills, thus gaining three or four more chances to reload her save.

My gaze continued to fall on the save screen, and subconsciously, I tried to save the previously set Barrier-Breaking Magic Eye.

However, he then remembered that the Eye of Breaking Barriers had already entered the void with his clone and was no longer in his hands.

Thus, in the end, only one ordinary item was preserved—the mirror that had been used to communicate with the immortal corpse.

I don't have any mirrors in my inventory yet. Although I can create a magical mirror using mystic energy, a physical one is still more convenient.

After confirming, Xi Heng stretched and yawned, then lay down on the ground and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

In the save/load space, there is no concept of time, no chaotic affairs, and no one will suddenly appear to tell her this or that.

Just let your mind wander, and you'll drift off to sleep in the peace and quiet.

When Xi Heng slowly woke up, rubbing his eyes, he didn't know how much time had passed.

"Well……"

She refused to stand up, instead squatting and pondering the various experiences she had had in this life, and also making some reasoning about the questions that surfaced in her mind.

Although I am not a detective and cannot deduce any answers, I can at least deepen my impression and make a few guesses.

During this time, Xi Heng became increasingly convinced of the Three Corpses theory.

"But no one has said how to eliminate these three corpses."

She set the matter of the Three Corpses as one of her top priorities.

In the future, I will try to find more ancient books and discover the so-called method of eliminating the three corpses.

"Anyway, just take it slow."

Having rested for a while in the save space, Xi Heng propped himself up with one hand and reached forward.

Clicking it creates faint ripples in the air.

The words twisted and turned, transforming into a series of archived images arranged from top to bottom, stirring up some memories for Xi Heng.

After hesitating for a moment, he muttered to himself, "I should first find a place to extract spiritual veins to supply the spiritual fire space."

This requires an enormous amount of spiritual power. If we were to use the old method to obtain the Golden Light Divine Trees of the Netherworld, we would probably need to obtain tens of thousands of trees to reach the Dao Integration Realm.

That would be too slow and inefficient.

Xi Heng had no interest in doing such a tedious and boring task; he just wanted to maximize efficiency.

"And the place with the most spiritual energy in the void is the Scripture Realm."

She still remembered the enormous, top-grade spirit stone she saw in the teleportation array of the Eastern Continent Heavenly Palace when she first arrived in the Jingtian Realm.

That one top-grade spirit stone provides more spiritual power than the five hundred golden divine trees in his spirit fire space.

If one could find a way to obtain multiple similar top-grade spirit stones and pile them up in the spirit fire space, the strength of the spirit vein should be easily raised to the sixth rank, or even higher, that a Dao Integration cultivator could use.

"Let's check out the save file in the Heavenly Realm first." She pointed to the second-to-last save file with her index finger.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful sense of the passage of time enveloped my entire body, and my vision became dim.

When you open your eyes again, you will return to the normal world.

In this archive, the Central Continent of the Heavenly Realm has not yet been reduced to ashes by the disaster and still maintains its original bustling prosperity.

Xi Heng sat cross-legged on the advancement array, the array patterns beneath his feet glowing faintly, and a few broken leaves slowly drifted down around him.

Various magical treasures were arranged in an orderly fashion around her, waiting for her to continue using the method of advancement.

However, she had already achieved enlightenment and no longer needed to do so.

With a flick of her long sleeves, the things in front of her were immediately stored in her storage ring.

He gently patted his clothes and stood up. With a spatial fluctuation, the scenery around him changed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Zhongzhou Exchange, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

He then raised his left palm in front of his eyes, opened his personal interface in the Heavenly Realm, accessed the internal program of the local exchange, and searched for the term "spiritual vein."

The search results appeared immediately, but most of them were fixed spiritual veins, either in a certain mountain area or a certain body of water.

Although it is imbued with a large amount of spiritual power, it is quite troublesome to move it.

Xi Heng shook his head and then began searching for the term "top-grade spirit stone".

Then, information about various large spirit stones appeared one by one, arranged according to factors such as the difference in spiritual energy affinity and size.

She saw the largest section displayed in the exchange program by sorting the categories.

Looking at the images and data on it, and estimating the volume and amount of spiritual power in the spirit stone, he frowned:

"It seems to be smaller than the one I saw in Tianque before."

"That shouldn't be the case. This is a major city in the central part of the Heavenly Realm. How could the treasures in its large trading center be inferior to the array spirit stones in an ordinary capital city of the Eastern Continent...?"

The girl pondered for a moment, then remembered something a few seconds later and walked directly to the exchange counter where VIPs were entertained.

As they approached, they subtly revealed a hint of Dao-merging aura, immediately attracting attention from all around.

Without any prompting, the receptionist behind the counter immediately became alert and greeted them in a very friendly manner.

Xi Heng didn't respond much, but got closer and directly stated his needs.

The reason I couldn't find larger spirit stones in the exchange program earlier is probably not because they don't exist, but because I don't have enough permissions to view them.

At this point in time, she has just emerged from the land of advancement and has not yet obtained the authority of a Dao Integration cultivator.
