Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

From the moment Chen Yan first stepped into the cycle of reincarnation up until today, he had lost count of how many times he had reset his life.

The cycle had granted him four relatively important cultivation techniques as rewards.

Hidden Immortal Art, Purple Mansion Record, Great Derivation Art, Emptiness Annihilation Art.

Of these, Hidden Immortal Art was the most basic technique Chen Yan currently practiced. The pale immortal qi surging in his Martial Spring was entirely induced and generated by Hidden Immortal Art.

Moreover, the unique doctrines of Hidden Immortal Art could completely conceal any cultivator aura Chen Yan possessed, making anyone who sensed him think he was merely a mortal, or allowing others’ spiritual senses to perceive only the cultivation level he wished them to perceive.

Next was Great Derivation Art, the technique Chen Yan was most satisfied with at present. With Great Derivation Art’s ability, Chen Yan could almost derive and transform anything in the world, including immortal artifacts.

It was precisely because of Great Derivation Art that Chen Yan was able to obtain inexhaustible spiritual energy at the foot of Qingxuan Mountain, rapidly regenerate his damaged body, and even do so without consuming his natal spiritual energy.

As for Emptiness Annihilation Art, it was closely tied to the nature of birth and death and to cause and effect. This technique was even more mysterious than Hidden Immortal Art and Great Derivation Art. By isolating causal links, it could even withstand the attack delivered years ago by the Goddess Statue that destroyed Heavenly Summit Palace.

Compared to the three major techniques above, Purple Mansion Record seemed decidedly more ordinary.

Yet it was still far superior to the cultivation techniques currently widespread on Chenping Continent. Now that Chen Yan had become an Immortal Ascension cultivator, he could experience the differences Purple Mansion Record’s operational method had from the cultivation techniques commonly known across Chenping Continent—differences that Qin Yue, Lin Qifeng, and Xiao Bo’an had once mentioned.

One could even say they were completely different.

Chen Yan decided to teach Purple Mansion Record to the six Immortal Ascension cultivators currently on Chenping Continent. This technique could, to some degree, reduce the backlash those Immortal Ascension cultivators suffered when they forcibly broke the limits of the laws of heaven and earth, and it could strengthen their Immortal Platforms, making their foundations more stable.

Chen Yan also hoped that, through the transmission of Purple Mansion Record, new Immortal Ascension cultivators might appear on Chenping Continent.

If there was anyone on Chenping Continent most likely to ascend now, it was not those Dao Union cultivators from the Five Great Sects.

It was a junior whose current realm was only Myriad Transformations.

Star Heaven Sect’s Qin Qingyu.

At present, aside from himself, the other six Immortal Ascension cultivators on Chenping Continent all suffered varying degrees of damage to their Dao Basis because they had forced breakthroughs against the laws of heaven and earth during the Great Chaos of the Immortals.

Among them, the most severely affected was Kong Yang.

By his own account, his lifespan might now be limited to only a few hundred years.

Furthermore, his dao resonance would be worn away entirely, leaving no chance for future reincarnation and retraining.

Dao resonance erosion was a problem every Immortal Ascension cultivator must face.

Like death for mortals, no one could escape it.

Chen Yan was no exception.

Since Chen Yan returned from eight thousand years in the past to this era and ended the Great Chaos of the Immortals, five years had passed.

That meant Chen Yan had been ascended for five years.

Although Chen Yan had not done much in these five years, he could still feel his own dao resonance wearing away slightly.

Chen Yan had once tried to use Great Derivation Art to replenish his eroded dao resonance, but ultimately it was to no avail.

He had also attempted to use Emptiness Annihilation Art to sever the causal links of his resonance to prevent it from naturally deteriorating with time, but that produced no effect either.

Dao resonance erosion was absolutely irreversible.

At least, given Chen Yan’s current cultivation level, it appeared to be so.

This meant that even under the best conditions, the lifespan of an Immortal Ascension cultivator was at most one hundred thousand years.

Chen Yan tapped his forefinger lightly on the white jade chair he sat upon. Immediately, six streams of clear radiance flowed, and abstruse sigils formed in midair, entirely condensed from pure immortal qi.

In the next instant, the six abstruse sigils condensed from his immortal qi transformed into streams of light and flew toward the six Immortal Ascension cultivators standing inside Du Cang Hall.

After confirming that these sigils, condensed from Chen Yan’s immortal qi, were completely harmless, bore no hostility, and served only as information carriers, the Immortal Ascension cultivators inside Du Cang Hall chose to accept them.

As the sigils carrying Purple Mansion Record entered their minds, the Immortal Ascension cultivators quickly understood what Chen Yan meant when he spoke of Purple Mansion Record.

”The way this technique operates…”

Realman Sun-Eroding Liang Huan murmured,

”Simply unheard of, why…”

Not only Liang Huan, but the other Immortal Ascension cultivators, as the full text of Purple Mansion Record entered their minds along the stream of light, immediately performed simulated runs in their heads of how Purple Mansion Record flowed through meridians.

They all clearly recognized Purple Mansion Record’s uniqueness.

One could say all cultivation methods on Chenping Continent originated from the same source; essentially, they were just different paths expressing the same operational principle.

But Purple Mansion Record was different. It represented a completely separate operational method.

Why was that?

The Immortal Ascension cultivators in the hall all turned their gazes toward the white jade seat at the end of Du Cang Hall, where the handsome youth wearing plain white daoist robes sat.

Clear, yet somewhat indistinct.

There were simply too many secrets surrounding the thirty-second Immortal Ascension cultivator of Chenping Continent.

Whether it was his instantaneous ascension, the one hundred thousand immortal artifacts, or the enigmatic alliance between him and that Immortal Venerable, it was like he had been born carrying a heavenly mandate.

...

The Du Cang Mountain Dao Discussion.

Originally, many on Chenping Continent thought the scale of Du Cang Mountain Dao Discussion would only be comparable to the Dao Discussion Conference once organized by the Five Great Sects.

But the reality was far from that.

Now, the seven Immortal Ascension cultivators of Chenping Continent would personally appear on Du Cang Mountain’s Dao Discussion.

And besides these seven great Immortal Ascension cultivators, at least half of the Grand Elders from the other four Great Sects—excluding Mirage Palace—would also show themselves.

Before the Great Chaos of the Immortals, Chenping Continent had roughly a thousand Upper Three Realm cultivators.

After the chaos ended, only a little over seven hundred Upper Three Realm cultivators remained.

At least half of those Upper Three Realm greats would attend this Du Cang Mountain Dao Discussion.

Compared with the old Chenping Continent Dao Discussion Conference, the current Du Cang Mountain Dao Discussion was like heaven and earth apart.

At this moment, on a massive ferry en route to the newly rebuilt Du Cang Mountain ferry dock, a girl in a white long skirt stood at the bow, gazing at Heavenly Summit Palace suspended in the sky.

She had been meant to shine at the final Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry, but...

He Qingling still felt some regret in her heart.
