I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 642 Reincarnation City

Eagle's eyes are sharp as lightning. Even high in the sky, when it scans the area below, Xia Daoming still feels as if it can see right through him.

He tried his best to conceal the surging blood and energy within him, lest the eagle demon discover his extraordinary nature.

The Twelve True Immortals – if they were to truly fight, Xia Daoming was confident he could put up a fight, but it would inevitably be earth-shattering and bring about endless unforeseen events.

Fortunately, the eagle demon's gaze only lingered on him for a moment before it soared into the sky and disappeared at the edge of the horizon.

Qionghua Upper County is vast and boundless, with continuous mountains and rivers, and a magnificent terrain. Xia Daoming rode the Cloud-Maned Leopard, traveling day and night for a full month before finally arriving near the Valley of Reincarnation.

The closer one gets to the valley, the more numerous the True Immortals flying through the air become. Their cultivation levels vary, but they are all heading towards the Valley of Reincarnation.

Soon.

Xia Daoming arrived outside the Valley of Reincarnation.

The period of stability in the Valley of Reincarnation is approaching.

When Xia Daoming arrived, a temporary city called Reincarnation City had already been built outside the valley.

The city is heavily guarded by Heavenly Army soldiers, who oversee this grand event that only occurs once every 3,600 years, to prevent the various True Immortals from fighting each other for treasures and causing the situation to spiral out of control.

The City of Reincarnation was bustling with activity. There were True Immortals from various prefectures, as well as wandering True Immortals from all directions, and even many sect prodigies with gorgeous clothes and illustrious backgrounds.

However, they are mainly immortals from Qionghua Upper County and several nearby middle and lower counties.

The area is filled with shops selling elixirs, array flags, and rare materials. Some even privately sell so-called "secret manuals for entering the valley," the authenticity of which is hard to discern.

Almost all the true immortals who enter the Valley of Reincarnation choose to stay here temporarily.

Firstly, with the Heavenly Court's heavy troops stationed there to maintain order, they didn't need to worry about their personal safety; secondly, there were temporary immortal shops in the city where they could buy the pills and magical treasures needed to enter the valley; and thirdly, they could also find out about the people entering the valley in advance.

Xia Daoming rented a secluded cave dwelling in an inn, where he would go out to explore during the day and seclude himself to cultivate at night, while also nurturing his divine weapon.

Firstly, they wanted to see if they could find anything in the Immortal Market, and also inquire about the True Water and the cultivation techniques after obtaining the Body Refining Divine Weapon; secondly, they wanted to gather information about the True Immortals who had entered the valley, so as to know themselves and their enemy and be victorious in every battle.

With the time to enter the valley approaching, the city was bustling with activity. High-level True Immortals could be seen on the streets from time to time, and each appearance caused a stir.

On this day, Xia Daoming was walking in the market when suddenly the clouds in the distance surged and a fierce wind howled.

In the blink of an eye, a black eagle appeared in the void outside the city, its wingspan reaching hundreds of feet, blotting out the sky and the sun, its feathers as black as ink.

Xia Daoming's heart skipped a beat—it was the same Twelve-Assembly Eagle Demon he had seen along the way!

Above the black eagle, stood a woman with long, flowing hair, dressed in a crimson robe with exquisite patterns. Her skirt swayed like a burning sunset, and her cold eyes swept across the crowd below, like a fairy high above, looking down upon all living beings.

This woman is at the Tenth Realm of True Immortals, yet the aura she exudes is no less than that of the eagle demon beneath her feet!
"It's Zhu Qiluo, the most outstanding rising star of the Zhu family of Danxia Mountain! Why is she here too? It's said that she once defeated a Tenth-Level True Immortal while at the Ninth-Level Realm and even fought against an Eleventh-Level True Immortal! A few years ago, she advanced to the Tenth-Level True Immortal Realm, and her strength is unfathomable, making her one of the most promising rising stars of Danxia Mountain to attain the Golden Immortal Realm." In the market, a True Immortal couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. "I really didn't expect her to come too. Although the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit is precious, with the power and wealth of Danxia Mountain, as well as her status and strength, why would she need to come here personally if she wanted it?"

"Do you think Zhu Qiluo came here for the Reincarnation Fruit like us? She came here to be tempered! As the saying goes, 'One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand.' Every immortal who wants to become a Golden Immortal must undergo countless trials of life and death! Qionghua Shangjun is heavily guarded by the Heavenly Court, so even the forces of Danxia Mountain dare not act recklessly. But it's different once you enter the Reincarnation Valley. Inside, you not only face the dangers of chaotic and unstable space and rampant Nether Flames, but you can also freely seek out people to fight, thus tempering yourself."

"The Golden Immortal forces are indeed different. We risk our lives to enter the Valley of Reincarnation, seeking only a Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit to advance our cultivation to a higher level. But their disciples enter the valley for life-and-death trials!"

"..."

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Xia Daoming's heart sank slightly. He thought to himself, "Shangjun is indeed Shangjun. In the high-level True Immortal stage, there are even geniuses who can fight beyond their level. It seems that I must be cautious and low-key on this trip and not underestimate the heroes of the world!"

The higher the level, the more difficult it is to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Because those who reach a high level all possess extraordinary abilities; there are no mediocre individuals among them!

Before the discussions about Zhu Qiluo had subsided in the market, another strange phenomenon suddenly appeared from the horizon.

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled across the sky, and the clouds churned. Someone commanded an ancient bell to cross the heavens, its melodious sound echoing throughout the world. Wherever the bell's sound reached, many cultivators felt their souls tremble slightly, their breaths quicken, as if they might be suppressed at any moment.

"That is... the Soul-Slaying Bell! One of the twelve immortal treasures of Luoyun Mountain in Qionghua Upper County! It is the natal immortal treasure of Luo Ao, the young master of Luoyun Mountain. It is said that when he was only at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, he was able to use this bell to fight against a tenth-level True Immortal. Now he is a tenth-level True Immortal. There is a legend that a few years ago, he single-handedly used the Soul-Slaying Bell to suppress and kill an eleventh-level True Immortal and two tenth-level True Immortals!"

"Hiss... It's one thing for Zhu Qiluo of Danxia Mountain to come, but the young master of Luoyun Mountain has also come. It seems that this Samsara Valley will be extremely dangerous. I wonder how many people will come out alive!"

Xia Daoming looked up from the street and saw the resounding bell. Although it wasn't aimed directly at him, it caused a slight tremor in his blood and qi. He felt a chill and became even more restrained in his aura.

However, this is not the end.

Three days later, the earth outside Samsara City rumbled, as if mountains were moving. A colossal beast covered in rock armor strode in, carrying a burly man with a bare upper body and covered in tattoos on its back.

"That's Tuoba Gang, the third disciple of the Barbarian King of Stone Bone Mountain!" The crowd erupted in commotion.

"It is said that he has the bloodline of the ancient sage Kuafu, and his body is naturally as hard as rock, with the strength to uproot mountains! In his early years, he killed a Ten-Tier Demon King with his iron fists, and now his cultivation is said to have reached the Ten-Tier True Immortal realm!"

"Such powerful immortal energy, such surging blood and qi! It seems that Tuoba Gang, like me, is also a practitioner of both Dao and martial arts!" Gazing at the giant beast, Tuoba Gang's body was covered in flowing patterns, exuding a terrifying aura. Xia Daoming's pupils shrank slightly, and while he felt a chill in his heart, he also felt a surge of excitement.

Having been in the Immortal Realm for quite some years, this was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful immortal who cultivated both Dao and martial arts!

Suddenly, outside the City of Reincarnation, water vapor surged, clouds turned blue, and the phantom of a vast river appeared in the sky. The river rushed, its roar deafening, as if it were engulfing the entire city.

Amidst the mist, a burly figure slowly emerged.

The man was clad in dark blue armor, surrounded by swirling water, seemingly originating from the same source as the vast river in the void. His brows bore a resemblance to a dragon, and his eyes flashed with a cold, sharp light. Every gesture he made carried the imposing aura of a superior dragon.

　That concludes today's update.
