Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

As the cocoon became more and more complete, the disaster finally felt threatened and reacted, shooting a dark blue light from the cup straight towards the unsealed open space above.

They immediately needed to break through the formation's barriers and escape this place.

However, as one of Yueyi's avatars waved in that direction, the calamity-inducing light shortened by hundreds or thousands of times in just a few seconds.

The pace of outward breakthroughs was also immediately halted.

Even if one manages to escape a few strands with all one's might, the surrounding calamity will quickly devour them.

When the giant cocoon was more than 90% woven, the calamity within erupted once again, spewing out dark blue liquid that scattered in all directions.

For the first time, a massive amount of calamity power broke through the protection formed by the array and the Moon Instrument. However, its brewing momentum had already been clearly monitored by Xi Heng, who controlled the entire array, and he also ordered Death Calamity and the Four Symbols to make full preparations.

At the moment of its eruption, the calamity and the phantom images of the four symbols also fell down together.

The collision of the two great calamities once again exploded from the void, creating two ever-expanding colors. Streams of light surged in all directions, only to be annihilated by each other in the process of mutual attrition.

Initially, the dark blue light gained an advantage due to its powerful corrosive force, corroding a hole in the calamity.

However, as Xi Heng adjusted and perfected the chaotic consciousness within the Calamity of Death, transforming its power to annihilate and devour matter into a powerful suppression of the spirit, the opponent's advantage diminished.

Furthermore, due to the visible difference in the number of the two calamities, along with the assistance of the Four Symbols, those affected by the calamity gradually become weaker.

Although the Calamity of Death has only existed for a few decades, it has always protected the Pure Fire Cult and devoured many smaller calamities that have invaded it.

It also sent half of itself to the upper part of the void to hunt, constantly absorbing and improving, raising its power level by several levels.

Although it is still struggling to deal with other calamities that have already awakened and expanded several times.

However, it is still possible to deal with a calamity that has not yet awakened and whose power is still somewhat restrained by the formation at the edge of the void.

Thus, the calamity was not weakened; instead, it intensified as it devoured the wandering calamities.

The void before them resembled a bomb containing dark blue energy undergoing multiple explosions.

It continued to spew out a huge amount of eerie dark blue light, only to be suppressed by an even larger, gray mushroom cloud-like death aura.

Ten days later...

Under the suppression of various forces, it was eventually completely enveloped by the giant cocoon of spiritual light.

As the formation operated, the sealing force increased layer by layer.

Although the actual power of the disaster is stronger than the power that maintains the formation, it can be slowly eroded and broken free.

However, the Tribulation Crossing Formation has its own mysteries, and it will take at least a hundred or several hundred years to break the seal.

Without the fusion of the Heavenly Venerable of the Realm of Disaster and the Realm of Imagination, the resulting butterfly effect would inevitably be enormous.

For Xi Heng, achieving this change was enough.

There's no need to actually seal it away for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Next, she thought, we'll see how things develop after the changes.

Once the giant cocoon is formed, the formation will switch to automatic operation, eliminating the need for continued focused effort.

Xi Heng composed himself and temporarily stopped what he was doing.

The Moon Emblem in the distance was also formed by more than thirty clones merging into one, its long sleeves closed as it floated closer from the void.

It seemed slow, but in reality, it only took a few seconds to reach Xi Heng's side, and he said:

"This formation should last for more than two hundred years. When it is about to be unsealed, come to the Jade Toad Realm to find me again and we will re-solidify the seal together... As for the external protection mentioned earlier, it has already been added."

Xi Heng thanked him and then said, "Perhaps, there's no need to come again."

"Indeed, this world may have already perished two hundred years from now." The other person lowered their eyes and sighed softly.

"That's not what I'm talking about. It's that a hundred years from now, my death calamity might be able to directly swallow this calamity, so there's no need to reinforce the seal." Xi Heng pressed his temples.

Having experienced an apocalypse, she wasn't particularly pessimistic.

Although he knew in his heart that even if the disaster did not break out again, the Celestial Venerable of the Imaginary Realm would not fall into madness, and the Half-Immortals would continue to exist unaffected by it... even with such a relatively good development, this void might still not last long.

After all, the other types of major disasters are not easy to deal with either.

However bad things may be, they are still better than the apocalypse that came in my previous life.

"Then, I hope we can both live another two hundred years, until we meet again."

Yueyi smiled with her eyes narrowed. Although she had the appearance of a young girl, her demeanor was that of a kind old man.

Xi Heng also said goodbye, watching the other person turn away, but then he heard some soft whispers in his ear:

"This sense of familiarity is just like someone I knew back then, but I've forgotten who it was. I only remember that person always managed to do things that people considered impossible... I hope you can too."

After reciting the last sentence softly to herself, Yueyi turned and disappeared into a pale silver light.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 430, Unwavering Determination

At the outer edge of the void, the disaster has been enveloped in a cocoon by the Great Array of Salvation.

After they finished what they were doing, Yueyi transformed into a wisp of silver light and left the place.

During this time, Xi Heng, who remained there, noticed that the other party frequently displayed remarkably polite manners, even though their status and realm far surpassed his own—it seemed to have become a fixed habit.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, the girl returned to the empty scene before her eyes.

The calamity, resembling a thick cloud of gray smoke, stretched its tentacles out into the surrounding void like a child catching fish in a puddle, coiling and devouring the numerous calamity fragments that were trying to escape.

The avatar stayed there for several more days until there was no trace of dark blue left, and after testing the external defenses of the sealing array once more, it finally left.

"Now, we shouldn't have to worry about the Jingtian Realm being destroyed as easily as before."

She casually brought the lingering Calamities back to the edge of the Purefire Sect's territory, where they were re-divided, and half of the Calamities were sent to the central region of the void to hunt and adventure.

After completing his mission and returning to the sect's territory, the avatar began to look at the ancient books collected over the years by the sect's special organization.

Try to find information about becoming an immortal, celestial palaces and realms, or about the Five Roars and calamities in these ancient books.

Most of them are just fragments, and the descriptions of knowledge are not coherent.

After reading for a long time, Xi Heng felt that there were very few words in these books that would be helpful to her.

Some of what seems meaningful are just unverified rumors.

Xi Heng spent a long time going through all the ancient books collected by the Pure Fire Sect.

They also failed to find any information about the true method to become an immortal.

What I saw most were just legends and rumors about celestial palaces and the celestial realm.

For example, myths such as a day in heaven being a year on earth, the golden crow and jade toad taking turns ruling day and night, the division into the Three Sacred Realms and the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the cyclical operation of the Heavenly Dao, and the system of immortal ranks—it's impossible to know whether they are true or false.

Xi Heng spent three whole months going through all the books that the Pure Fire Sect had collected from all the heavens and myriad worlds... but he didn't find anything of real value.

"Books with the word 'immortal' in them are mostly just fragments of Taoist techniques, which are described in a mystical way but do not describe any specific methods."

Xi Heng casually picked up an old, tattered book from his side, turned a page, and began to read the text:

"The stars in the sky are dim, only a sliver of light shines on the Niwan point... The meridian is drawn and added, the marrow of mountains and rivers is secretly changed."

Most of them are like this, simply stating a concept without describing the steps involved.

"The three corpses condense into jade liquid, and the seven insects transform into gold dust."

Words like 'three corpses,' which would subconsciously draw Xi Heng's attention, have appeared quite a few times during these three months of reading.

However, none of the books explain what the Three Corpses are or what the Seven Insects are.

Therefore, Xi Heng could not clearly determine whether the three corpses mentioned in the fragmented text were the same as his own three corpses.

It is possible that the person who wrote this kind of Taoist manual had only heard of the term "Three Corpses" and casually added this rather obscure and difficult-to-understand term to this poem.

The actual author may have been just an ordinary person who didn't even know the simplest methods of cultivating immortality.

She glanced at the record of the poem's origin—it really was found on rotten bamboo slips at the bottom of a deep lake within a remote, spiritless realm.

It is indeed possible, but it was just something that ordinary people within that realm wrote and discarded at will.

However, since the words "three corpses" had been mentioned, Xi Heng still read the entire text above:

"Only when the fire star of the Quail Star falls can one truly see the self in a state of oblivion..."

The girl sighed softly.

She had read this kind of sentence structure countless times during this period: "Only when such and such are seen."

“If all we had to do was wait, there would be no need for cultivation among the countless cultivators in the world.” She shook her head slightly, put down the book in her hand, and picked up another book.

My fingers rubbed against the rough cover, imprinting more words into my heart.

His avatar passed the time by reading, while his true self, during his seclusion, reached new heights on the path of cultivation.

Time moves slowly, but years change.

More than a decade or so passed, and we arrived at the 240th year after the save file was loaded.

In his previous life, Xi Heng had completed his cultivation in the Jingtian Realm and was beginning his ascension to the Dao Integration Realm.

At that time, I only needed to take care of the Spirit Fire Space; I didn't have to worry about anything else and could focus on cultivation.

However, things are different in this world—although one still cultivates, one must also devote more attention to changes in the outside world.

We need to pay attention to the activity of the major calamities in the void, while also taking care of the development of our own calamity, making it devour more and more smaller calamities, and accumulating power to prepare for the future.

Therefore, he focused nine-tenths of his mind on cultivation and one-tenth on manipulating his external avatar to wander outside.

However, since cultivation efficiency is mainly driven by willpower, the speed of improvement in cultivation level itself is not slowed down too much.

Xi Heng remembered that in his previous life, 240 years after the save file was loaded, the Imaginary Celestial Venerable would bring disaster, and he would refine him together with the Imaginary Celestial Venerable.

So he used his external avatar to look toward the location of the imaginary number itself.

At that end, the Yin-Yang spheres, which could only be vaguely seen with the aid of Daoist power, were still rotating back and forth, stable and enduring.

Without the impending disaster, there was naturally no dramatic expansion or violent change like in the previous life.

"In this life, that situation probably won't happen again."

Xi Heng then used the spatial node to project his spiritual sense and observe the Central Continent of the Heavenly Realm.

This shows that the area is still stable and has not been greatly affected by the disaster.

My avatar also arrived and opened my personal interface in the Heavenly Realm. I saw many news developments above, most of which were similar to those in my previous life.

The battle lines in the Northern Continent against the Calamity were in full retreat. Even though the Heavenly Realm sent many great cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Dao Integration stages, they were unable to turn the tide.

A massive earthquake and collapse occurred in the southern part of the Heavenly Realm, and many cultivators went to investigate, but the specific cause is still unknown.

Having experienced the apocalypse once before, Xi Heng was able to discern the nature of this calamity from just a few reports—it was the ominous, green-tinged lurking disaster.

It also infiltrated the protective array of the Heavenly Realm and began to encroach upon and expand its territory in the Southern Continent.

Even if the cultivators who rushed to investigate discovered a new calamity of cholera, they would likely be powerless to stop it.

Only the situation in the Eastern Continent was better than in the previous life, because the Disaster of Light had not broken out, and the Eastern Continent had not turned against them. They were still doing their best to send forces outward to guard the border.

But no matter what, it was no match for the ever-increasing calamity.

"It seems that even if this calamity doesn't strike, the Heavenly Realm will still be gradually devoured by other disasters..."

However, the immortal has not yet made a move. When he appears in the future, he will surely be able to reverse many of the disadvantages.

Xi Heng then turned to look at the empty space outside.

Because the largest celestial realm has not yet fallen, several major calamities of awakening are still concentrated in the central region.

Half of the calamity also hides in this place, occasionally suddenly appearing to hunt and devouring a larger piece of the calamity to fill itself.

Since the calamity was sealed away, this part of the calamity has been hunting here for more than a decade, allowing its size and strength to continue to grow.

"The Celestial Realm has been able to continue to exist, but there don't seem to be many other changes," she concluded.

The power of the cultivators is still weakening as the calamity spreads and expands. It is a continuous and steady decline, with little visible fluctuation.

Many cultivators also want to reverse this situation and have made many efforts.

But people's power is too weak to have an impact on the overall situation.

Like the Dust Bell Realm, shrouded and eroded by filth and calamity, where demons and cultivators cooperated with all their might to fight off the enemy, but ultimately could not reverse the situation.

In the end, they each left the realm and sought another place to live.
