Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

In the end, Qi Yi did not kill him.

As a seventh-realm cultivator, Qi Yi had ten thousand ways to eliminate Chen Yan without a trace in that confined environment of the General Affairs Office, but he did not.

Instead, he gave Chen Yan another chance.

To uncover the so-called true mastermind behind the destruction of the Immortal Gambling Den.

Chen Yan originally thought it was Fu Qian.

But Qi Yi said it was not.

However, the few Kongshan Sect Qi Sea Realm cultivators sent to exterminate the Immortal Gambling Den were undoubtedly Fu Qian’s people.

Could it be that Fu Qian was not the mastermind either, but was being used by someone else?

Unfathomable.

Simply unfathomable.

Kongyuan Mountain, Alchemy Hall.

Chen Yan was sitting in the main hall of the Alchemy Hall, his fingers lightly tapping the counter in front of him, pondering various messy matters.

Some days ago, the Alchemy Hall of Kongyuan Mountain experienced its biggest alchemy accident in nearly thirty years.

An alchemy furnace exploded.

Only one Qi Circulation Realm disciple was injured. Although the injury was severe, fortunately, it was not life-threatening.

However, ever since Lin Qifeng took over the Alchemy Hall and became its Elder, the hall had been severely short-staffed. After all, before this, Zhao Bin, the Alchemy Hall’s First Senior Brother, could do the work of five people by himself.

And as the original Alchemy Hall Elder, Yue Chi, was promoted to Dignity Elder of Kongyuan Mountain, Zhao Bin was also transferred away.

Left with no choice, Lin Qifeng could only have Chen Yan temporarily fill in as well.

“As long as you have a clear conscience…”

Chen Yan muttered to himself, recalling the words Qi Yi said to him that day in the General Affairs Office.

What exactly was this Grand Elder scheming? Was he friend or foe?

“I’ve washed it all clean.”

Just then, Lin Qifeng suddenly appeared before Chen Yan and spoke.

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback.

“What’s washed clean?”

“The things you gave me.”

Lin Qifeng said, then lowered his voice.

“That batch of spirit stones. After washing, 63,000 remain. All went directly through the Alchemy Hall’s accounts. Guaranteed clean, use them however you want.”

Huh?

Chen Yan finally understood what Lin Qifeng was talking about.

It was that batch of 80,000 spirit stones transported from Qiguan Jin.

“Let’s not talk about that for now, Master…”

Chen Yan raised a hand to rub his forehead.

“There’s something I want to ask you.”

“What is it?”

Lin Qifeng asked.

“About some… important figures.”

“Ask away! I’m thoroughly familiar with all the anecdotes of the big shots from the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent these days!”

“It’s related to our sect’s Supreme Imperial Law Court.”

“Isn’t that a bit… too big?”

Lin Qifeng immediately countered.

“How much do you know?”

Chen Yan asked.

“You can try asking first. If I know, I’ll tell you.”

“Alright.”

Chen Yan adjusted slightly, then spoke slowly.

“Qi Yi, this Grand Elder. How much do you know about him, Master?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qifeng hesitated for a moment.

“It’s a long story. Grand Elder Qi is probably over eight hundred years old now, likely from the same generation as my grandmaster. But my grandmaster’s situation was special, as I told you before.”

Lin Qifeng’s grandmaster, the master of Yun Yichen, was once a Grand Elder of Kongshan Sect.

But his more important identity was the reincarnation of Kongshan Sect’s first Immortal Ascension Realm great power, True Person Kongmiao, Yan Yunhe.

“Before Grand Elder Qi broke through to the upper three realms, he served as the True Dharma Elder at Yibai Peak. After stepping down, he served as a patron at Yibai Peak for several decades. It was only about two hundred years ago that he finally gave rise to spiritual energy, became a Unity Realm cultivator, and entered the Supreme Imperial Law Court.”

This was how Lin Qifeng introduced Qi Yi’s past.

“What’s his relationship with Huo Mu like?”

Chen Yan asked.

“Or rather, is there any possibility of enmity between Grand Elder Qi and Huo Mu?”

“The relationships between Grand Elders… not to mention me, even if you asked my master, he definitely couldn’t tell you anything concrete.”

Lin Qifeng said.

“Both belong to the Supreme Imperial Law Court, and Huo Mu, as the Supreme Imperial Law Elder of Kongshan, is the one in charge of the Supreme Imperial Law Court. From that perspective, Grand Elder Qi must obey Huo Mu. But as for their personal relationship…”

Lin Qifeng didn’t finish his sentence, just shook his head.

Chen Yan wore a thoughtful expression and said nothing.

Whether Qi Yi was friend or foe was not important.

What was important was that Huo Mu would absolutely not give up so easily.

…

Kongyuan Mountain, Merit Hall.

“Recently, low-level demonic beasts have been frequently appearing near Xinglin Valley. Fellow Daoists from some small sects around the sect have sent no less than fifty eyewitness reports.”

The Merit Hall’s manager disciple stood at the front, announcing to the disciples below.

“Based on the analysis of the sect elders, some kind of mutation has likely occurred within Xinglin Valley. The specific situation is unknown. To prevent the possibility of low-level demonic beasts escaping from Xinglin Valley and attacking the surrounding mortal kingdoms, we now need to form a team of about forty people to go to Xinglin Valley and investigate the truth. Cultivators at the late Qi Circulation Realm or above can sign up!”

The nearby disciples buzzed with discussion.

Chen Yan just happened to be passing by.

In his previous cycles of reincarnation, Chen Yan had never heard of this.

No wonder, since in the first twenty cycles, he had always been idling away in the outer court.

Even if something similar had happened, it was only natural for Chen Yan to have no impression of it.

Chen Yan only lived the longest in his first cycle.

He spent his whole life holed up in the outer court as a marginal disciple. Although he cultivated very diligently, after a hundred years he had only reached the mid-stage Qi Circulation Realm. Only when his lifespan was about to run out did he go to the Fallen Sword Mountain Range to gamble once.

Then he died.

Immediately after, he began his journey of infinite reincarnation.

After the first cycle, the longest he lived in any subsequent cycle was only five years. He died a full twenty times during the Outer Court Cataclysm in the year Cheng Ziying turned nineteen.

One could only say that he had an obsession back then.

Later, as the reincarnation save points kept shifting forward, Chen Yan had lived until this current point in time.

Chen Yan still clearly remembered the specific date of that Outer Court Cataclysm. However, the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul should currently be dormant within his body, and that Outer Court Cataclysm would absolutely not happen again.

As for the timing of that Outer Court Cataclysm…

Chen Yan began to calculate silently in his heart, figuring out the time until that cataclysm.

“Fifty-three more days…”

Chen Yan muttered to himself.

Fifty-three days…

For some reason, Chen Yan suddenly began to feel this number was strange.

Five days had passed since that day he visited Yuanhua Mountain and encountered Grand Elder Qi in the General Affairs Office.

That’s right, five days.

“No, only fifty-eight days.”

Qi Yi’s face appeared in Chen Yan’s mind.

“In these fifty-eight days, do whatever you want…”

Chen Yan muttered to himself, his hairs instantly standing on end.

“As long as… you have a clear conscience.”
