Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

A cold wind blew across the edge of Cang Luan Cliff.

Chen Yan’s voice entered Lin Xinyang’s ears with the wind, and Lin Xinyang’s originally calm gaze gradually became one of terror.

“The Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul from Caijun Tower, inside my body?”

Lin Xinyang said.

Chen Yan did not speak, merely nodding his head.

Everything made sense now.

“So, you mean Junior Sister Qin was… because she discovered the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul inside me?”

“Elder He did not come to Heavenly Summit Mountain only after Qin Yue’s death.”

Chen Yan stated:

“He has been on Heavenly Summit Mountain all along. Moreover, everything that has happened on Heavenly Summit Mountain this time was already planned by Elder He, or rather, by Supreme Imperial Law Elder Huo Mu.”

For He Furen to be able to appear on Heavenly Summit Mountain smoothly and logically, carrying the token of the Supreme Imperial Law Elder of Kongshan Sect to take charge of the overall situation, there *had* to be dead people.

And the dead person also had to have a certain status.

“So, you mean whether Junior Sister Qin discovered the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul inside me or not, she had to die?”

Lin Xinyang asked.

“Not necessarily.”

Chen Yan shook his head:

“Me, Chu Xiyao, Qin Yue, or any of the Chief Disciples from the various peaks and branches—whoever died would give Elder He sufficient reason to carry the Supreme Imperial Law Elder token of Kongshan Sect and come to take control of the overall situation on Heavenly Summit Mountain.”

“But, why would Master want to take control…”

Lin Xinyang’s thoughts were extremely chaotic right now.

Even though he had already sensed that his master might have problems.

He had never imagined that He Furen could possibly be the mastermind behind it all.

And the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul…

Lin Xinyang could roughly guess when this remnant soul was implanted into his body.

Because he had lost three days of memories from a year ago.

Lin Xinyang didn’t know what happened during those three days; it was as if it was just… a blank.

Perhaps it was during that blank period that the wisp of the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul from Caijun Tower was implanted into his body.

“Not only that, Kongyuan Mountain’s True Dharma Elder, Elder Wen Hongli, very likely also participated in this scheme.”

Chen Yan continued.

“What?”

Lin Xinyang was still confused.

Then Chen Yan raised his head, looking into the sky, at the barrier above Heavenly Summit Palace:

“This is the cage created by Elder Wen.”

Lin Xinyang also followed Chen Yan’s gaze upward.

“Everyone in this cage must die.”

Chen Yan continued.

“I don’t understand. From the beginning, I haven’t been able to understand…”

For Lin Xinyang, the impact of what Chen Yan was saying was indeed still too great.

“Why must Master, Elder Wen… or rather, Supreme Imperial Law Elder Huo Mu, kill everyone on Heavenly Summit Mountain?”

Lin Xinyang asked.

“No, their goal may not necessarily be to kill everyone on Heavenly Summit Mountain.”

Chen Yan shook his head:

“Rather, the goal they want to achieve cannot leave any survivors.”

This was Chen Yan’s genuine thought.

Almost all the prestigious cultivation sects from Chenping Continent had sent delegations to participate in this Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent.

If all these people were wiped out, the negative impact could be imagined.

But He Furen and the others were willing to bear this risk.

Their goal was definitely not just killing.

So what could the goal be?

Chen Yan didn’t know yet.

“No.”

Lin Xinyang picked up his Xiaohua Sword that he had placed by the cliff edge, then began walking toward the direction below Cang Luan Cliff:

“I’m going to ask Master what exactly is going on.”

“No.”

Chen Yan called out to stop Lin Xinyang:

“Do you think questioning Elder He will stop all this?”

“But…”

Lin Xinyang hesitated.

As Chen Yan’s nominal master, Lin Qifeng, had said, Lin Xinyang’s personality was relatively more indecisive.

“We need you, and the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul inside you, as bargaining chips…”

Before Chen Yan could finish his sentence, a loud explosion was heard from the distance.

Then, a figure flew swiftly toward the direction of Cang Luan Cliff.

*Thud!*

As the figure landed, countless cracks were shaken out of the cliff ground.

The muscles under the visitor’s daoist robe bulged, and he was panting heavily.

It was Kongyuan Mountain’s Dignity Elder, the personal disciple of Yun Yichen, Chen Yan’s senior martial uncle, Zhong Yin.

“Chen Yan, you were right.”

Zhong Yin said.

Chen Yan’s heart sank; he could guess what had happened.

“What do we do now?”

Chen Yan asked.

Zhong Yin didn’t speak, just used his two hands to pick up Chen Yan and Lin Xinyang respectively, then threw them toward the direction of Heavenly Summit Palace:

“Play it by ear!”

Zhong Yin shouted loudly from behind.

…

The vertical distance between Heavenly Summit Palace and Cang Luan Cliff was only a little over a thousand zhang.

Zhong Yin’s immense arm strength was enough to easily throw both Chen Yan and Lin Xinyang onto Heavenly Summit Palace.

The two landed below the steps of Heavenly Summit Palace.

The steps of Heavenly Summit Palace totaled eight hundred and eight.

After ascending these eight hundred and eight steps, one would reach the main hall gate of Heavenly Summit Palace.

But Chen Yan and Lin Xinyang could not enter.

Because of the restriction.

Only the Heavenly Summit Champion could enter Heavenly Summit Palace; this was an unbreakable rule.

Located in the high air over two thousand chi away from Daoyan Arena, with just a little true qi enhancement, Chen Yan and Lin Xinyang could see everything happening in Daoyan Arena very clearly.

Complete chaos.

He Furen was fighting with Yue Chi, while Wen Hongli was entangled in a struggle with Hu Tianyuan and Zhong Yin.

Martial Uncle Yue Chi held the upper hand in his fight against He Furen.

But Star Heaven Sect’s Sect Leader Hu, and Martial Uncle Zhong Yin, seemed very passive when facing Wen Hongli.

They probably couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Not only that, the entire Daoyan Arena was in complete disarray.

Countless cultivators were trying to flee, only to be blasted to death by spells from Qi Sea Realm cultivators, or even Spirit Connection Realm cultivators, chasing behind them.

Moreover, those cultivators attacking the ordinary sects were not just Kongshan Sect disciples.

That’s right, not just Kongshan Sect disciples.

Among the other four great sects, there were also He Furen’s inside agents!

“No, this can’t go on…”

The declining momentum of Martial Uncle Zhong Yin and Sect Leader Hu in front of Wen Hongli was becoming more and more obvious.

Defeat was just a matter of time.

If Wen Hongli, this Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator who had cultivated seven thousand strands of innate true energy, could free his hands, then it would mean the overall situation was decided.

Something had to be done.

Chen Yan looked at Lin Xinyang beside him.

The Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul with Unity Realm combat power was his only bargaining chip.

He had to gamble and try.

“Chief Disciple Chen, Fellow Daoist Lin, it’s been some time.”

Just as Chen Yan was preparing to take action, a young man’s voice suddenly came from behind.

A chill ran down Chen Yan’s neck.

There was actually someone else on Heavenly Summit Palace?

He swiftly turned his head, looking behind him.

He saw a handsome young man wearing a deep cyan daoist robe, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips, and white teeth.

Xiao Bo’an.

He was slowly walking down the white jade steps of Heavenly Summit Palace toward Chen Yan and Lin Xinyang below the steps.

As he walked, he seemed to be fiddling with something in his hand.

When he got a little closer, Chen Yan finally recognized what the small object Xiao Bo’an was playing with was.

It was a ring.
