Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

In the blink of an eye, another two weeks had passed.

During the first few days after Chen Yan had just woken up, he had been quite wary of the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul within his body.

But as time went on, Chen Yan discovered that the so-called Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul residing in his body had zero impact on his daily life.

He couldn’t feel the presence of the remnant soul at all.

Chen Yan even began to suspect whether the soul of this Great Demon of Dao Union Realm was truly inside him.

As the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, Chen Yan’s current status within the Kongshan Sect was quite significant, especially after the Chief Disciples of both Mingxiao Peak and Yunyin Peak had also perished on Heavenly Summit Mountain. Two more pillars capable of carrying the banner for the Kongshan Sect’s younger generation of disciples were gone.

Chen Yan walked along the streets of Kongyuan Mountain, and at the end of the road ahead stood a rather imposing and dignified compound.

Kongyuan Mountain, Enforcement Hall.

The current Enforcement Hall elder of Kongyuan Mountain was still Song Wencheng.

Namely, the master of that Qi Yadong who had been accidentally killed by a single punch from Chen Yan during the outer court competition.

To put it bluntly, Song Wencheng and Chen Yan’s master, Lin Qifeng, had never really gotten along. And after Chen Yan accidentally killed Qi Yadong, the relationship between him, Lin Qifeng, and Chen Yan had become utterly irreconcilable.

When Chen Yan had just become a disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, he had always been extremely cautious, fearing he might be deliberately targeted or harassed by disciples from the Enforcement Hall.

In fact, even now, there was absolutely no sign of any improvement in the relationship between Chen Yan and Song Wencheng.

But…

“Junior Disciple Nephew Chen!”

As soon as he stood at the entrance of the Enforcement Hall, a tall and slender figure quickly approached him, a brilliant smile on his face, and a token engraved with “Kongyuan Enforcement” hanging from his waist.

Chen Yan certainly recognized him.

“Elder Song, long time no see.”

Chen Yan said with a faint smile and bowed slightly towards the figure.

The newcomer was precisely the Enforcement Hall elder of Kongyuan Mountain, Song Wencheng.

“Ah, why is the Junior Disciple Nephew being so formal!”

Song Wencheng hurried forward, reaching out to support Chen Yan who was bowing to him.

“Hearing that Junior Disciple Nephew Chen had awakened two weeks ago was the only piece of good news I’ve heard recently. Having a young prodigy like Junior Disciple Nephew Chen is truly a great blessing for our Kongshan Sect!”

Song Wencheng exclaimed with such emotion.

Chen Yan merely continued to smile, his attitude cool and detached, saying nothing.

He certainly knew why Song Wencheng was lowering his own status to flatter him like this, the reason for such obsequiousness.

Although Song Wencheng was still nominally the Enforcement Hall elder, the power in his hands had been almost completely stripped away.

This was solely because the Enforcement Hall was directly subordinate to the True Dharma Elder.

After Wen Hongli’s death, the original True Dharma lineage of Kongyuan Mountain naturally suffered significant repercussions.

The position of True Dharma Elder of Kongyuan Mountain had now been transferred to Martial Uncle Zhong Yin.

As for the Enforcement Hall, although the nominal elder was still Song Wencheng, the actual elder authority had been completely taken over by the Offering Elder whom Zhong Yin had directly appointed and parachuted into the Enforcement Hall.

Offering Elder.

Within the sect, their status was generally higher than that of ordinary sect elders.

But they usually held no real authority.

These Offering Elders were those who had “retired” from elder positions or from the positions of Peak Elders.

Their cultivation had stalled at the Passable God Realm or the Myriad Transformations Realm, ultimately failing to take that step into the upper three realms, and thus unable to elevate their status to that of Grand Elders.

Offering Elders generally did not participate in any sect affairs or high-level decision-making.

They enjoyed great freedom, facing almost no restrictions from the sect, as long as they didn’t do anything too outrageous.

Like that Star Heaven Sect Offering Elder who once traveled across the Chenping Continent and, while passing through Taiyun City, wanted to take Qin Yue as his disciple—he was such a case.

However, when the sect needed them, these Offering Elders also had the obligation to return to active duty.

Just like that Offering Elder whom Zhong Yin appointed to the Enforcement Hall to set things right.

Having lost Wen Hongli as his backer, Song Wencheng was like a stray dog with no home.

For Zhong Yin, his progress had been very smooth; he only needed to marginalize all dissenting voices within the Enforcement Hall to officially take over.

But right at this moment, the Supreme Imperial Law Court suddenly made a move, directly sending a Grand Elder over to oversee the Enforcement Hall’s subsequent work.

No one knew what the Imperial Law Court wanted to do. But Zhong Yin was certain it was definitely nothing good.

Before this, Song Wencheng had already fully prepared himself to be marginalized and removed from his position. Since he hadn’t participated in any of Wen Hongli’s schemes, he thought that after being sidelined, he could live a decent enough life by quietly becoming an Offering Elder.

Until the Grand Elder from the Imperial Law Court parachuted in, throwing Song Wencheng into a panic once again.

Song Wencheng knew all too well what had happened to Wei Mian.

Even the dignified Sword Master Elder of Yuanhua Mountain had been killed just like that.

What chance did a minor figure like himself have?

That’s right, even though Song Wencheng was the Enforcement Hall elder, a Passable God Realm cultivator.

In front of the Supreme Imperial Law Court, he was indeed as insignificant as a blade of grass.

“Where is Grand Elder Qi?”

Chen Yan asked.

Qi Yi—that was the name of the Grand Elder dispatched by the Supreme Imperial Law Court to the Enforcement Hall.

Reportedly at the mid-stage Unity Realm cultivation level.

The reason Chen Yan was here today was precisely because of a summons from Qi Yi.

“Grand Elder Qi is in the main hall inside.”

Song Wencheng said, rubbing his hands together.

“Junior Disciple Nephew Chen, regarding the past conflict between my foolish disciple and you, I apologize to you here. I hope Junior Disciple Nephew Chen can let bygones be bygones.”

Hearing Song Wencheng’s words, Chen Yan suddenly froze in place.

Wait, do you know what kind of nonsense you’re spouting right now?

Apologizing to me?

Although Chen Yan was almost unable to hold back, he didn’t let any emotion show on his face.

“I have actually always deeply regretted what happened with Senior Brother Qi.”

Chen Yan said.

“Junior Disciple Nephew, don’t say such things!”

Song Wencheng waved his hand grandly, then looked up and sighed.

“Everyone has their own fate. That was Yadong’s destiny!”

Chen Yan suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

He just thought Song Wencheng was ridiculous.

Chen Yan was meeting Grand Elder Qi today. Every word he said could potentially decide Song Wencheng’s life or death.

And precisely because of this, Song Wencheng had cast aside all his dignity to butter up Chen Yan like this.

However, Chen Yan knew this matter definitely wasn’t that simple.

He knew who was in charge of the Supreme Imperial Law Court, and he also knew who was the true mastermind behind the Heavenly Summit Mountain calamity.

But there was no way.

Huo Mu had occupied the position of Kongshan Supreme Imperial Law Elder for a full four thousand years.

Apart from Li Haoran, the Kongshan Supreme Pivot Elder from the same era as Su Hongzhen, Huo Mu had the deepest roots within the sect.

Trying to shake this towering tree was absolute wishful thinking.

Just like the recent Heavenly Summit Mountain calamity, the internal self-purification activities within the Kongshan Sect were completely dominated by the Supreme Imperial Law Court.

This sense of despair reminded Chen Yan of a saying:

They’re all my people, how can you fight me?
