The general on the border also met her, and she also encountered the self who summoned a sea of ​​blood in the central part of Yanmeng Kingdom and was known as the Asura.

Some were just simple conversations, casual chats, or questions.

Some would remain silent upon seeing her, directly drawing their swords to exchange a few blows, and then inquire about right and wrong during the battle.

Only his past as the Emperor of Tianzhao made him very welcoming when they met, and he even held a grand banquet in the palace to talk about everything under the sun, and provided her with support without any doubt.

After transforming into a crimson dragon, her attitude underwent a strong change. Xi Heng fought the crimson dragon for a long time before finally gaining her approval.

The past self will no longer linger in the world of Zhao.

Or perhaps there exists a realm of pure fire, manipulating resentful fire and death energy.

Or it could go to the Great Realm of Senluo, transforming into a magnificent white flame phoenix. After a battle, the white phoenix would transform into human form, carrying the activated phoenix bloodline, and discuss the Dao with her for three days and three nights.

All the obstacles she encountered during that time seemed to have become much simpler because of her successful salvation of the world, and all of them could be overcome.

Without a savior act, it might be even harder to gain the support of these past selves, and perhaps some harsh measures would be needed to reverse the situation.

Xi Heng gleaned that those whose mindset and state of mind changed drastically during the early or later stages of cultivation might find it difficult to overcome this tribulation.

Fortunately, although my mindset has evolved, my views have not changed much.

Even when one's realm is close to that of an immortal, one still retains one's mortal nature as always.

Therefore, they were able to successfully overcome many challenges.

The white-haired girl wandered through the gray mist, passing through scene after scene of the past, until she finally arrived at the edge of this realm.

The gray fog opened up ahead, but did not reveal any other areas or past scenes.

Only the gray-white ground extends into a path leading to the edge of the cliff, where a girl with loose black hair sits on the edge in the distance.

She stretched her legs out over the cliff, letting the cold wind brush against her long skirt, making it sway freely like flower petals in the wind.

As Xi Heng approached, he recognized the clothes as the ones he often wore in the modern world.

The other person reached up and combed a strand of hair behind their ear, then turned to look at them.

"Are we there already? That was fast."

“A mortal corpse, huh?” The white-haired girl recognized the aura.

"Yes and no," the other said. "I am the most important part of the mortal corpse, another you that does not exist in this world."

She turned and gazed at the vast, empty gray cliffs, where a cold wind blew and dust billowed.

The wind, passing beneath the cliff, carried a series of hoarse, mournful sounds.

Then he patted the ground next to him and invited Xi Heng to sit down next to him.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 440, The Errors in My Mind

A gray, dusty world, on the edge of a cliff.

Thick gray fog lingered ahead, and a black-haired woman named Xi Heng, dressed in a modern long dress, sat on the edge of the cliff, inviting the real Xi Heng to sit beside her.

The white-haired girl then approached and slowly performed the ritual.

Seeing the other person's profile, my thoughts briefly stirred and then subsided—during which I gleaned something from the melancholy in their eyes.

Listening to the sound of the wind, she then read aloud what she had noticed:

"You don't seem to want to become an immortal?"

The black-haired girl beside him nodded gently and said softly, "I don't want to stray from my original life. I just want to go back, but it seems that only by becoming an immortal can I have a slight chance to return... It's such a contradiction."

“This wish is different from my past selves,” Xi Heng said simply.

“I know,” the other said. “I also know that I am not suited to exist in this world, nor to become an immortal. This mortal nature I have taken is an obstacle to your becoming an immortal, so since you have come here, just kill me.”

"No."

"Didn't you want to become an immortal?" The other person turned their gaze towards them.

"I don't want to let go of any part of my past. If I have to let go, I'd rather not have it at all."

"If you don't want to sever your mortal desires, how can you overcome this tribulation..." the other party asked hesitantly.

"Must there be a distinction between immortals and mortals?"

"Otherwise, why would there be a distinction between immortals and mortals?"

“Perhaps we can be like Yin and Yang, mutually generating and restraining each other.” Xi Heng’s true form reached out to the person beside him, asking them to hold his hand: “As long as you support me, I will try to see if I can go back after becoming an immortal.”

"You want to become an immortal while retaining your mortal nature?"

"Try it."

"Then I won't be responsible for any mistakes that happen during that time," the other party said.

"It's alright. Even if it causes some obstacles, I will be able to overcome them." Xi Heng chuckled.

"It sounds like something very difficult to do, but when you say it, it always sounds convincing," the other person said. "It's as if you alone can definitely do something that others can't."

"Just believe it, don't overthink it." Xi Heng nodded.

“I will believe you, but mortal nature is ultimately of no use to becoming an immortal and transcending tribulations. If you don’t kill me, I will seal myself away.” The other party suddenly changed the subject: “Wait until you truly become an immortal before you awaken me.”

Before Xi Heng could even agree, her appearance instantly faded and became transparent.

"..."

Xi Heng blinked again, and the other person vanished in an instant, leaving not a trace on the ground where he had just been sitting.

It was as if she had never existed in the first place, and the figure seen just now was nothing but an illusion.

She was left alone on the entire gray cliff, listening to the strange howling of the cold wind, seeing the gray mist spreading around her, but she didn't know what to do next...

At the same time, my mind suddenly lost its hazy feeling and became clearer and more transparent.

The path to immortality is now much clearer.

It was as if I was groping my way to the immortal path while wearing thin gauze gloves, but now that thin gauze gloves have been removed, everything I touch has become exceptionally clear.

As her mortal self disappeared, her mortal heart also faded a little... It's hard to know whether this self-sealing done by the other party is good or bad.

Xi Heng pondered for a moment but did not reverse the outcome using the power of time.

Just calm your mind and listen to the gentle sounds coming from the cliff.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but even though the gray fog has been stationary in the distance, the surrounding scenery has been completely and indistinctly changing.

She descended from the vast, gray cliffs into a narrow, dimly lit place.

The hard stone floor where she had just been sitting had been replaced by a soft, sofa-like armchair.

The sound from the speakers in the dimly lit area felt slightly muffled.

A moment later, the entire wall in front lit up, the gray-white screen was illuminated, and animation was produced in conjunction with the sound.

She didn't know when it started, but a black-haired girl holding popcorn appeared next to her.

The popcorn was brought to his lips and easily bitten off.

This scene was quite familiar to Xi Heng—she had been here more than once.

More than once, I saw the black-haired girl next to me watching a movie.

"Is this the true dwelling place of a mortal corpse?" she murmured to herself.

She gradually came to understand that the Mortal Corpse was a unified entity formed by the various mortal selves she had just encountered, connected on some level.

The black-haired girl who resembled her didn't respond. She just grabbed another handful of popcorn, swallowed it with a gulp, and then stretched out her hands, as if asking Xi Heng for something.

It took the white-haired girl a few seconds to understand what this meant.

So he silently opened his inventory and handed over the cola he had saved from his previous life to the other person.

The cola is packaged in glass bottles and is sealed using a time-preserving method, so it is still cool to the touch when taken out, as if it had just been taken out of a freezer.

The mortal corpse took the bottle, flicked open the seal with a single finger, took a sip, and then exhaled a long breath, his posture quite relaxed.

The film begins to play, and exquisite images appear one by one.

Xi Heng watched for a few minutes, and also took a few pieces of popcorn from the other person's arms.

"Why does it look a little blurry?" she asked casually.

"You didn't wear 3D glasses. Have you forgotten this basic common sense after all these years of cultivation?"

"You clearly didn't bring it either."

Although Xi Heng's perception was indeed somewhat blurred due to the temporary retreat of his mortal nature, he still knew what 3D glasses were.

"After watching movies for so long, I've already got it built-in." The other person could easily change their eye color with just a blink, as if they had changed into colored contact lenses.

"Anyway... why did you drag me here again?" Xi Heng sighed helplessly and returned to the main topic.

"You have already passed the trial of the mortal heart," the Mortal Corpse said easily.

"When?"

"The moment you gave me this Coke, it was already done." The other person raised the drink in their hand and said, "Although this Coke is a little different from what I remember, it's still pretty good."

"Isn't it supposed to be cut off...?" the white-haired girl asked.

"The mortal corpse has been severed." The woman beside her suddenly changed her tone to calm.

The next moment, the large movie screen in front of us flickered a few times.

The scene then shifts, the sound stops, and the image shows the mortal corpse, its chest wounded by a sword, gradually dissipating into smoke.

"..."

"My worldly desires have been severed," the other party declared.

"Even if you sever your mortal nature, you can still gain support from every part of your past self, something that other cultivators find extremely difficult to achieve—you are the destined Time Immortal."

Xi Heng looked at the movie screen and felt there was something there, so he subconsciously reached out towards it.

The scene before my eyes and the surrounding environment changed once again.

As soon as the other person finished speaking, the scene abruptly changed back to the guest hall in the Jade Toad Realm before entering the mortal realm for trials.

Before her, the mortal corpse, wounded in the chest by a sword, was reaching out to her.

His figure was slowly fading away, yet he maintained a natural expression and gentle demeanor.

"Please, you must become an immortal."

As their hands touched, a hard object fell into Xi Heng's hands.

Immediately afterwards, the other party's figure turned into a gray-white mist and instantly disappeared into the special object.

Xi Heng looked down at her palm. The item left for her by the other person was a pale silver pocket watch with the second hand still ticking.

The watch case is intricately engraved with phoenix patterns, the color of the case is soft, and the patterns are like an intertwined array of finely constructed formations. A slight vibration is heard inside, almost imperceptible.

From this small pocket watch, she sensed a support from her past mortal life.

By carrying it with you, you can draw power from your past self through the pocket watch and put it to use.

This is something transformed from a mortal's corpse. If I am able to become an immortal in the future, this thing will also become a special immortal artifact.

She silently used her golden light magic to create a bracelet, attached it to her pocket watch, and wore it on the back of her hand.

Because the pocket watch is not large, it feels quite natural to wear it.

Xi Heng raised his right hand and turned it for a moment, seeing the chain watch swing slightly, before responding to the other party:

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

Taking advantage of the momentum, she didn't rest and immediately continued with the second part of the Three Corpses Severing Techniques—My Heart.

Fan Xinshi once said that his soul exists in the sea of ​​time.

And the pocket watch in her hand also had the ability to guide her.

Xi Heng slowly closed his eyes, circulated the power of time within his body, and sent his mind back to the ocean of time that he had not visited for a long time.

On the sea of ​​time, there is a mark she made using the method of fixing time.

When the mind arrives at this realm, it refines the mark into a special avatar of time, and the mind is completely immersed in time through this avatar.

As the view expands, the ocean currents appear to be flowing forward.
