Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"Only by reaching the peak of the Dao Integration stage can one be considered completely in harmony with the Heavenly Dao..."

She turned her fingers back, and as the light and shadow subtly fluctuated between the meridians, the spirit candle returned to a state where it was half-burned.

　Looking at his own appearance and pondering for a moment, Xi Heng closed his eyes again and tried to fold time through his meridians, sending the power of time back a few seconds.

Through the power of time, a top-grade spirit stone carved into the shape of flowers and birds was retrieved from the past and placed on the table.

With his mind returning to normal, he opened his eyes and saw that the spirit stone was already in his hand.

The shelf behind it, which was used to display this item, was now completely empty.

"That was so relaxing..."

With just a thought, one can send the power of time drifting to the past and the future.

Even if one does something so far beyond the norm, there is no need to use spiritual power.

After being resold, the carved spirit stone returned to its original state in the past.

The back shelves also seemed to have remained unchanged, returning to their previous state.

Xi Heng then tried other spells and learned that although he still could not use time folding to travel to the distant past and future, he could at least use the power of time to drift to any point in the surrounding year.

You can go to either the past year or the future year.

Although it is impossible to teleport the main body, it is still possible to use the power of time to construct a special clone at another time for action.

After a moment's thought, she used the power of time flowing through her meridians to send it to the future.

A year later, a ghostly, pale golden, transparent figure turned to his future self, who was still in the cultivation room, and asked about the method to become an immortal.

The only answer was: Since I am still in this world's future, I have naturally not yet embarked on the path to immortality.

If you want to see any change, you must first embark on the path to immortality.

My future self's understanding of becoming an immortal will not be much different from my current self.

Therefore, Xi Heng was unable to obtain information about becoming an immortal through such a simple and crude method.

However, during the spell, she also sensed that she was now connected to her past or future self on some indescribable level.

By breaking through just one more subtle limitation, one can achieve complete interconnection between one's past, present, and future.

At that time, perhaps one will attain some kind of 'transcendence'.

However, for now, we still need to be down-to-earth.

There is no way to obtain the method of becoming an immortal from one's future self through shortcuts.

The road ahead still needs to be walked step by step by oneself.

Xi Heng silently withdrew his thoughts of finding a shortcut through time, and instead closed his eyes to sense the time and heavenly way within his body that had now completely merged with his own.

As the spiritual light was activated, the ring of realm behind the neck reappeared, undergoing slight changes due to the true power of time, and containing strands of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao.

During the observation, various time-related techniques and dragon-patterned characters appeared in my mind.

Even without actually casting spells to activate it, one can clearly feel that all the powers related to time have been greatly amplified upon contact with the central axis of the Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, all the powers of time and the heavenly way have seeped into her nerves and bone marrow, and she can easily control them without the need for spiritual light as an intermediary.

Because of this ability, even if she suddenly loses all her spiritual cultivation in the next second, she can instantly regain it all through the Time Current spell.

Even if one encounters an insurmountable enemy in reality, one can easily hide in the passage of time.

Xi Heng even began to wonder—what methods could be used to deal with a Time Cultivator of his level?

My thoughts lingered, yet I couldn't conceive of any possibility of complete annihilation.

Based on my current understanding, I could never have imagined it.

"Even if something goes wrong when I undergo the tribulation to become an immortal, I shouldn't suffer any real harm from the tribulation now."

She had a premonition—as long as the concept of time exists in the world, she will be immortal.

No matter what kind of collective creation it receives, or even if all vitality is instantly wiped out, as long as the laws of time and nature still exist, it can be easily reconstructed.

"My lifespan has probably increased to an unimaginable level by now; at least my physical body is perfectly capable of living as long as time and the heavens," she thought.

As for the lifespan of one's mental state, it is equally difficult to estimate.

"Perhaps, it can already be called immortality."

The peak of the Dao Integration Realm is the highest realm in this void.

Even someone like Yueyi, who had reached the Dao Integration stage, only endured an incomplete tribulation and was unable to advance further.

In terms of actual strength, it is not much different from the peak of the Dao Integration stage.

"But even if we've truly grown up, we still have to keep going," she said softly.

She could see that her path of cultivation was not yet complete, that there were still steps ahead to climb, and that she had not yet truly stepped into the realm of immortals.

"The vague connection I felt just now with my past and future selves seems to be the realm of immortal power."

Xi Hengxin had a hunch—when he becomes an immortal and steps into this realm, all his past, future, and present 'selves' will be completely integrated.

All aspects of the self at all times will merge into one, undivided by time.

There will no longer be a Qi Refining stage in the past. Even the girl who was gathering herbs on Medicine King Mountain will become an 'immortal'.

The unification of the Three Realms and Six Paths means that becoming an immortal is a permanent proof.

"Only by truly becoming an immortal can one fulfill those fleeting, personal thoughts and wishes from back then."

"So even if one has already attained immortality... if there is a path to immortality ahead, one should continue."

After a brief moment of reflection, Xi Heng's mind became increasingly clear.

She spoke in a calm and even tone:

"Save this file."

As a result, time in the world came to a standstill, as if the gears had been suddenly frozen and jammed.

This time, however, time could not pause her in the moment.

Xi Heng has prevented the system from pausing time, allowing him to move freely in this frozen world.

He got up, turned around, and tapped the 'OK' button to save the file.

She continued on her way, closing her eyes and letting time ripple and tremble.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the gray save/load space.

The words "load save" floated before my eyes, along with some messy personal data.

Xi Heng didn't pay much attention—what she was about to do had nothing to do with this kind of data.

Simply save a bottle of the new soda from the Spirit Creation City, then move your finger to click and load the save.

The pale blue handwriting formed a series of images that fell into view.

After scanning for a moment, a hint of reminiscence surfaced in his slightly reddened eyes.

These archived images all mark some of the more profound stories of the past.

As those past scenes flowed through her mind, the white-haired girl unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth.

Then, in a more relaxed tone, he uttered two more words:

"Let's go."

As the voice faded, his fingertip tapped the second-to-last archive—the very one from the doomsday void where he had made a pact with the mortal corpse to return and ascend to immortality upon reaching the peak of the Dao Integration Realm.

Then, the scene before her eyes slowly rotated, transforming into a familiar, swirling force of time that calmed her mind.

She felt a warm, gentle current lifting her up from behind, and when she opened her eyes, she was back where she had been.

Inside the Jade Toad Realm, there is a spacious living room.

Xi Heng was sitting in a chair at a round table. She opened her eyes and saw several orange peels scattered on the table next to her. There was also a black-haired girl who looked similar to her and had a lazy expression sitting next to her.

The mortal corpse was already before him, and he continued peeling a fresh little orange.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 439, The Trial of Mortal Heart

The mortal corpse was already before him, and he continued peeling a new small orange.

As Xi Heng arrived, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and glanced at the white-haired girl beside her.

"You're back?" the black-haired girl asked casually.

"Hmm...you're back." This was the first time Xi Heng had been greeted after reloading a save file, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. He subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"

"A sudden change in temperament and realm is noticeable to anyone with a discerning eye... Besides, although I am a mortal corpse, my understanding of the Heavenly Dao of Time is no weaker than yours, a peak Dao Integration expert," the other party said with a light smile.

Then he tore open half a segment of the orange and tossed it to Xi Heng.

The white-haired girl raised her finger to take it and casually brought it to her lips.

"You've brought back so many more karmic ties this time. Don't you find it troublesome?" the other person said casually.

"It's alright. Without so much karma, one couldn't advance in cultivation so quickly. Besides, to save this world, one must inevitably be entangled in a great deal of karma." Xi Heng waved his hand.

"...You've already saved the Void once?" The other person blinked.

"Yes, we used the Calamity of Death and the Calamity of Light to balance the void situation over there. Even if we leave it alone, it will be peaceful for at least a thousand years," the white-haired girl said.

"This is something even we can't do," the other person said, their tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness.

Xi Heng only said:

"It's all the same person. If I've done it, then I've done it all."

"So modest?" The other person smiled again. "I never noticed that before."

"Actually, I've always been very humble," Xi Heng said shamelessly.

After a brief chat, he got down to business: "In short, my cultivation has been completed, and I am only one step away from becoming an immortal. However, among the ancient books on immortality that I have collected over the past few hundred years, there is not a single method for becoming an immortal. Today, I have come here to ask you how to sever the three corpses."

The other person listened, but pretended to be troubled.

She raised a finger to her cheek, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Although I am willing to have it cut off, I am still just a mortal and don't really understand these things about becoming an immortal..."

Xi Heng also thought that the mortal corpse might not know anything, and continued, "Then let's ask the immortal corpse. She should know, but I wonder what her attitude is towards my becoming an immortal?"

"Who knows? That guy has no humanity."

The black-haired girl propped herself up, randomly found a glass mirror in the living room, tapped it with her finger, and handed it to Xi Heng.

"She should be in the mirror."

Xi Heng accepted the mirror, placed it on the table, and displayed his own image.

He then asked his reflection in the mirror how he should sever the three corpses.

Then the reflection in the mirror suddenly moved on its own, opening its lips with an extremely calm demeanor, not answering, but instead asking:

"You have successfully saved the world?"

"Why is everyone so concerned about this? I guess you could say you've succeeded," she replied.

"You possess the power of humanity that has already been perfected, and you have already been involved in countless karmic consequences due to your act of saving the world. Now, becoming an immortal is no longer just a matter for you alone," the other party said calmly.

"So, after saving the world, will the path to immortality change? Will it be for better or worse? Will it be more difficult or easier?" the white-haired girl asked in succession.

"With the blessing of humanity, the content of the calamity may be somewhat more mundane."

“That’s a good thing.” Xi Heng nodded.

The girl in the mirror's eyes flickered slightly, as if some thoughts were brewing within them, but when she came to her senses, she didn't say anything more.

The mortal corpse beside him tilted its head and waved to the immortal corpse in the mirror, saying, "Long time no see."

The other party still did not answer, but continued to say day and night: "Moreover, you have no regrets or remorse, which alone can ease the difficulty of becoming an immortal. Now that you have the power of humanity, you may be able to succeed in one go."

"Of course it's possible. I've never failed to get promoted," Xi Heng said confidently.

"Now you're not humble anymore." The mortal corpse next to him reminded him again: "When you were trying to advance to the Dao Integration Realm before, you failed many times due to the tribulation of lightning."

"It's good that it's ultimately successful." Xi Heng stuck out his tongue, then returned to the original question:

"How exactly does one sever the three corpses?"

"It can be done at any time. Draw your sword and slash at the mortal heart beside you, and the calamity will truly begin." The person in the mirror said it quite simply.
