Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

Kong Yang’s fall did not cause any excessive disruption to the normal operations of the Kongshan Sect.

Because ever since the day during the Great Chaos of the Immortals when he personally ascended Heavenly Summit Mountain and fought all-out against Pure Dust True Person Qiu Siruo and Realman Lingxuan Gu Jing, the life of this third-generation Ascended Steward of the Kongshan Sect had already entered its final countdown.

Twenty-three years passed after Chen Yan quelled the Great Chaos of the Immortals before True Person Caiyun finally fell.

This pace was far faster than Kong Yang himself had anticipated. He had originally believed that his dao rhyme could withstand several hundred years of erosion, and the facts had indeed proven that to be true.

But the backlash and injuries Kong Yang had suffered were simply too severe.

To the point where the speed of his dao rhyme erosion far exceeded even his own imagination.

Twenty-three years.

During those twenty-three years, the Kongshan Sect had been making preparations for the era after Patriarch Kong’s fall the entire time.

Therefore, after Kong Yang’s death, the sect remained as orderly as ever from top to bottom.

Another eleven years passed. Du Cang calendar, year thirty-four.

Apart from the pitch-black rifts in the sky continuing to expand, everything on the Chenping Continent remained calm and tranquil.

No, that couldn’t quite be said either.

For the cultivation world of the Chenping Continent, this year was still somewhat different.

Chu Xiyao, Li Haowen, Bai Jinye, and others had all seen their cultivation realms step into the late stage of the Myriad Transformations Realm.

Among them, the fastest progress still belonged to Chu Xiyao, who had already cultivated over nine thousand five hundred strands of innate true energy, and was expected to challenge the upper three realms within the next three to five years.

As for Li Haowen, the gap between him and Chu Xiyao had been growing smaller and smaller. He had already cultivated over nine thousand two hundred strands of innate true energy, and barring any accidents, the time he began his assault on the Unity Realm should be roughly consistent with Chu Xiyao’s.

As for Bai Jinye, due to the severe injuries he had once suffered, he had been left behind by Chu Xiyao and Li Haowen. He had only cultivated over six thousand eight hundred strands of innate true energy thus far, and at his current pace, it would likely take at least another ten years or so before Bai Jinye would have the opportunity to step toward the upper three realms.

These cultivators who had obtained the status of Guardians of the Dao during the first Du Cang Mountain Dao Discussion were clearly ahead of the juniors who came afterward.

But among those juniors, there was no shortage of cultivators whose talent surpassed that of Chu Xiyao and Li Haowen, and some could even be said to hold hope of Ascending to Immortality.

And in the thirty-fourth year of the Du Cang calendar, the most extraordinary major event that occurred was that the Chenping Continent gained another Ninth Realm great power—

Qin Qingyu had achieved Dao Union.

......

Du Cang Hall.

A young man clad in plain white daoist robes, along with another young cultivator dressed in plain-colored daoist robes, stood within the great hall.

”Thirty-four years, from the Myriad Transformations Realm to Dao Union, ha...”

Mr. You softly sighed with such emotion as he shook his head.

Even Immortal Venerable Fusheng, universally acknowledged throughout the history of the Chenping Continent as the number one figure of its immortal path, was rendered speechless by Qin Qingyu’s utterly astonishing cultivation speed.

Thirty-four years, from the Sixth Realm to the Ninth Realm.

And what’s more, Qin Qingyu, who had now stepped into the Dao Union Realm, still showed absolutely no sign of slowing down in her cultivation speed.

The prospect of stepping into the Immortal Ascension Realm within a mere fifty years had nearly become a reality.

Not just becoming a reality—Qin Qingyu currently even had a high possibility of achieving Immortal Ascension ahead of schedule.

”What does Master think?”

Observing Mr. You’s reaction, Chen Yan asked him thus.

”What do I think?”

Mr. You said this while simply shaking his head continuously:

”Unheard of. Even if this little one from the Star Heaven Sect could freely command all cultivation resources on Du Cang Mountain without any restrictions, crossing more than three major realms in over thirty years, and even having hope of Ascending to Immortality within a decade, is truly far too astonishing.”

Chen Yan thought the same.

He had long known how terrifying Qin Qingyu’s cultivation talent was. Back at the Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry, the duel between Qin Qingyu and Chen Yan had already made him recognize the gap between himself and her.

Fighting with everything he had, he still could not win.

”If that’s the case, then so much the better. After all, the original intention behind establishing Du Cang Mountain was precisely to see more prodigies emerge, to help bear the pressure of the Chenping Continent’s future.”

”While that’s true, judging by the talent Qin Qingyu is currently displaying, her aptitude for the immortal path might even surpass my own. If she Ascends to Immortality, then what do you plan to do?”

Mr. You’s tone was laden with profound meaning.

Chen Yan fully understood every implication concealed within the ”profound meaning” of Mr. You’s tone.

Chen Yan had established Du Cang Mountain, investing nearly unlimited cultivation resources into the Chenping Continent’s cultivation world, with the purpose of cultivating power capable of confronting the ”Mystic Maiden” spoken of by the Tianji Sage, and the existence behind her, when they made their move against the Chenping Continent.

Because Chen Yan was well aware that the ceiling of the current Immortal Ascension cultivators on the Chenping Continent was exactly where it stood.

There was virtually no room for improvement.

But Qin Qingyu was different. Qin Qingyu was currently the only cultivator on the Chenping Continent whose ceiling no one knew.

Mr. You even believed to a certain extent that Qin Qingyu’s talent might possibly touch the Sage Realm in the future.

Qin Qingyu’s cultivation talent was a blessing for the Chenping Continent.

But...

”So what if she Ascends to Immortality?”

Chen Yan replied calmly.

An Immortal Ascension cultivator was something Chen Yan could handle with ease.

Setting aside for the moment the fact that Chen Yan’s cultivation talent, after multiple coefficient rewards from the Cycle of Reincarnation, had become completely unrecognizable compared to when he first embarked on the path of immortality—far surpassing even the average standard of the Chenping Continent’s cultivation world.

Simply relying on the superiority of the techniques and arts that Chen Yan commanded was enough to overwhelm any cultivator of the same realm as him in the present day.

Even Qin Qingyu.

The One Hundred Thousand Immortal Artifacts derived from the Great Derivation Art alone could easily crush Qin Qingyu.

”But merely Ascending to Immortality is far from sufficient.”

Mr. You continued.

That was indeed true. The crisis currently facing the Chenping Continent was absolutely not something an Immortal Ascension cultivator could resolve.

Even a True Lord of the Returning to Void Realm would have no solution.

Just as mentioned before, the current cultivators of the Chenping Continent still did not know where Qin Qingyu’s ceiling truly lay.

But judging by Qin Qingyu’s current trajectory, the Immortal Ascension Realm was absolutely impossible to be the terminus of her immortal path.

Just how far this one and only genius hailed as having ”aptitude for Ascending to Immortality” in this era of the severed immortal path could go—at this current moment, no one knew.
