Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

The waiter who appeared to have no flaws said nothing.

He only kept his gaze fixed on the young cultivator in the plain-colored daoist robes standing before him.

This was the Eastern Domain of Chenping Continent, an oasis city in the middle of a desert.

Within ten thousand li centered on this city, there were no cultivators present.

When the shop’s waiter, or rather Xiao Bo’an, saw the young cultivator in plain-colored robes step into the shop, he immediately realized his situation.

And when that young cultivator spoke his true name in that instant, no other emotion rose in Xiao Bo’an’s heart.

Xiao Bo’an remembered the young cultivator in plain-colored daoist robes standing before him.

He had seen this young cultivator once before in the Northern Region of Chenping Continent, when he attended the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry hosted by Wind Ravine Valley as the Mirage Palace’s Daomen Xingzou.

At that time, the young cultivator had been with the reincarnated body of Pure Dust True Person and with the present-day Realman Du Cang who was disguised.

Speaking of Realman Du Cang, Chen Yan, Xiao Bo’an’s feelings were actually mixed. The conspiracy once triggered by Supreme Imperial Law Elder Huo Mu of Kongshan Sect to revive the Black Flood Dragon and restore the Immortal Path had, in fact, received support from many within the other four great sects.

Xiao Bo’an and the lineage behind him were supporters of Supreme Imperial Law Elder Huo.

Only, after the Heavenly Summit Mountain Cataclysm, those within Mirage Palace who had supported Huo Mu had quietly undergone a certain reckoning.

One must admit, back then Xiao Bo’an had indeed treated the chief disciple of Kongyuan Mountain as his formidable rival.

Especially the time in Taiyun City when Chen Yan exposed his true identity with a single sentence— even after Chen Yan’s “death,” the memory often made Xiao Bo’an break out in a cold sweat.

But now, Xiao Bo’an had come to terms with it.

Because the present-day Chen Yan was the Realman Du Cang who essentially controlled Chenping Continent.

One could say that the tit-for-tat of wits and strategy Xiao Bo’an once believed to be evenly matched was, in Chen Yan’s eyes, nothing more than a cat-and-mouse game.

Xiao Bo’an knew very well what the appearance of this young cultivator in plain-colored robes meant.

The time for reckoning had arrived.

Even though he was the only living practitioner in the past few centuries who truly mastered Mirage Palace’s secret illusion technique, the Weaving Dreams Night Sky Observation Mirror.

And the Weaving Dreams Night Sky Observation Mirror was the pinnacle of illusion arts on Chenping Continent.

At the same time, Xiao Bo’an also understood that in the eyes of those Immortal Ascension cultivators, he was nothing more than an ant.

If those Immortal Ascension cultivators did not focus their attention on him, perhaps through the Weaving Dreams Night Sky Observation Mirror he might narrowly escape.

But if someone remembered him…

Xiao Bo’an also knew that any illusion on Chenping Continent, in the eyes of Immortal Ascension cultivators who could even peer into heavenly secrets, was merely a trifling parlor trick.

The Weaving Dreams Night Sky Observation Mirror was no different.

If those Immortal Ascension great powers wished to settle the score with him, they could do so at any time.

Xiao Bo’an still did not directly answer the question posed by the young cultivator in plain-colored robes.

He merely smiled and respectfully cupped his hands toward the other:

“I am a junior of Mirage Palace, Weaving Dreams Tower’s Xiao Bo’an. I pay my respects to you, senior.”

The young cultivator in the plain-colored robes showed a slightly amused smile, then said with a laugh:

“You betrayed your sect and yet still call yourself a disciple of Mirage Palace?”

“You jest, senior. I did not betray the sect back then. I parted ways because I disagreed with certain people within the palace, so I chose to leave and no longer associate with them. But Mirage Palace will always be my root, and that cannot change.”

Xiao Bo’an replied.

“The ‘certain people’ you referred to, who are they?”

the young cultivator asked.

“Those who support Realman Sun-Eroding Liang Huan reclaiming command of Mirage Palace, the short-sighted grand elders.”

Xiao Bo’an’s answer was calm.

“It sounds like you really dislike Realman Liang.”

the young cultivator said.

“I do not dislike Realman Liang. In fact, I hold great respect for Realman Sun-Eroding’s past… but Realman Sun-Eroding does not belong to this era.”

Xiao Bo’an said,

“This era should belong to contemporary cultivators, not to Immortal Ascension reincarnations clawing their way out of graves.”

“So you chose an extreme method to strike back.”

the young cultivator slowly said.

“By helping those two Immortal Ascension cultivators from Heavenly Summit Mountain overturn the history that followed Heavenly Summit Mountain’s destruction.”

“The Heavenly Summit Era was the most vibrant period the cultivation world of Chenping Continent had ever seen. Don’t you agree, senior?”

Xiao Bo’an said.

“Perhaps.”

the young cultivator’s response was vague, neither agreeing with nor refuting Xiao Bo’an’s words.

“I only followed my own principles and made what I believed was the right choice.”

Xiao Bo’an argued with conviction.

“As I just said, you are extreme.”

the young cultivator said.

“Perhaps.”

Xiao Bo’an again replied with those three words.

“So, senior, what do you plan to do with me?”

“What you did will not restore the world to over sixty thousand years ago, when Heavenly Summit Mountain had not been destroyed. Therefore, everything you have done will be deemed a crime.”

the young cultivator answered.

“May I ask, senior, who is it that will pass judgment on Xiao?”

Xiao Bo’an asked.

“No.”

the young cultivator shook his head.

“Realman Du Cang is currently visiting the five great sects of Chenping Continent one by one. How would he have the time to judge a minor Passable God Realm cultivator like you?”

“So…”

Xiao Bo’an hesitated, his gaze fixed on the young cultivator before him.

This young cultivator looked very ordinary; if not for the plain-colored robes he wore, he might have appeared no different from a commoner.

“The one who will judge you is me, but the basis for my judgment is not your deeds in the present age.”

the young cultivator said.

“Then what is it?”

Xiao Bo’an asked.

“Because of the illusion technique you practice.”

the young cultivator replied.

“Are you referring to the Weaving Dreams Night Sky Observation Mirror of Weaving Dreams Tower?”

Xiao Bo’an said, wearing a relaxed smile:

“You must know that Realman Du Cang is now trying to support Mirage Palace’s reconstruction. Currently, I am the only living inheritor of Mirage Palace’s secret illusion technique, the Weaving Dreams Night Sky Observation Mirror.

“I, Xiao, am naturally willing to teach the next generation and continue the transmission of Weaving Dreams Tower’s secret technique. In terms of emotion and reason, now is not the time to mete out punishment to Xiao. I hope senior will consider the greater good.”
