Chapter 1603: Ling Spiritual Overlap Fear

Each rebirth increased her cultivation talent. With more reincarnations, she wondered if eternal life would be within reach. Bai Suyue had never imagined she could reach the realm of eternal life one day.

From beginning to end, she had only wanted to save her poor nephew's life.

Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage were considered "immortals" by mortals.

Bai Suyue used a few minor tricks to intimidate the entire village. After Li Fan was settled, although her heart was full of reluctance, Bai Suyue still set out alone, once again embarking on the path to explore the Immortal Extermination Formation.

This time, armed with the experience of breaking the formation from her previous life, Bai Suyue successfully navigated the outermost layer of gale winds, deciphered the flowing light illusions, traversed the inverted layer, and carefully avoided the flowing fire layer, only to ultimately perish in the profound ice layer.

Her ninth life.

According to Kou Hong, after the profound ice lay thunder and darkness.

Bai Suyue felt a surge of excitement, realizing it was coming sooner and proving easier than she had imagined.

Perhaps due to her continuous rebirths and reincarnations, her cultivation talent had accumulated to a considerable degree. The Immortal Extermination Formation, which Kou Hong had described as exceptionally dangerous, now seemed less difficult to breach.

She knew nothing about formations, yet by relying solely on intuition, she had successfully passed through more than half of it.

Bai Suyue stood at the edge of the Abyssal Void once more, but this time she was not eager to break the formation. Instead, she observed from a distance.

Although she had no master's guidance, after observing for a long time, Bai Suyue genuinely began to discern some principles of the formation.

Bai Suyue mused that this must be what a formation was, then leaped down.

She moved like flowing light, breaking through with irresistible force.

She reached directly the deepest dark layer of the Immortal Extermination Formation.

In the profound darkness around her, Bai Suyue sensed many terrifying unknown creatures. Yet, they seemed to bear her no ill will.

After pausing for a moment, she no longer hesitated.

She flew towards the light point below.

When she felt the incredibly abundant spiritual energy around her, Bai Suyue knew she had finally arrived in the cultivation world.

Not getting carried away by her temporary success, Bai Suyue followed her plan, found the cultivators of the Myriad Immortals Alliance stationed on the nearest island, and applied to join.

She did not conceal her origin from a mortal small world, only stating that she had fortunately embarked on the path of cultivation after receiving guidance from an immortal master who had accidentally strayed and gifted her spirit stones.

He Zhenghao smilingly escorted Bai Suyue to Myriad Immortals Island. He remarked that although she was a bit old, it was not too late, and if she worked hard, there was still hope of successfully establishing her foundation. He added that once she did so, her world would be vastly different.

He stated that he knew it was not easy for her, being alone, and offered her five hundred contribution points to help her get started, which she could repay when she had a surplus later.

For a newly arrived Qi Refining cultivator, five hundred contribution points were a considerable sum and could save a lot of trouble. Bai Suyue quickly thanked him.

After this, Bai Suyue settled down on Myriad Immortals Island, aiming to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Kou Hong had said that at least the Golden Core stage was needed to pass through the Immortal Extermination Formation, but Bai Suyue felt that late Foundation Establishment should suffice.

Her realm and insights already met the requirements for breaking through. The only thing lacking now was the rare item needed for Foundation Establishment.

While diligently accumulating contribution points, Bai Suyue also deliberately paid attention to news of cultivators discovering rare Foundation Establishment items in the wild.

She thought that rare Foundation Establishment items often required four or five thousand contribution points to exchange. If each time took several years to accumulate, it would be too time-consuming, so it was best to find them in the wild.

Three years later, the almost sleepless Bai Suyue finally exchanged for a Vitality Lotus in the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

She successfully ascended to the Foundation Establishment realm!

He Zhenghao immediately sent his congratulations. After a brief reply, Bai Suyue continued her cultivation without interruption.

It turned out that the various breakthrough materials required by the new method were the greatest limitation for Bai Suyue.

In seven days, she broke through to mid-Foundation Establishment.

In ten days, she broke through to late Foundation Establishment.

Just one month later, Bai Suyue had already reached the perfected Foundation Establishment stage.

She wished she could always cultivate so quickly.

Bai Suyue muttered to herself that the Dharma-Imparting Heavenly Venerate did not seem like a good person; it was one thing to create a path, but he insisted that everyone in the world must follow his path.

She decided it was time to return home and wondered how her nephew had been doing these past few years.

Bai Suyue used her remaining contribution points to buy a flying boat and several defensive talismans, then prepared for a trip back to Da Xuan.

She happened to run into He Zhenghao.

When He Zhenghao saw Bai Suyue, his eyes lit up, and he continuously offered congratulations.

Bai Suyue did not know why He Zhenghao was so excited, but since he had provided a lot of assistance before, she could not give him a cold shoulder.

After learning that Bai Suyue intended to return to the mortal small world to bring her nephew, He Zhenghao offered to accompany her.

He assured Bai Suyue that he was quite familiar with the matter and that it was absolutely foolproof. He even offered to handle Li Fan's future guidance and recommendation to the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

After some hesitation, Bai Suyue agreed to He Zhenghao's request.

With the combined efforts of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were no accidents along the way. Li Fan was successfully brought into the Xuanhuang World.

Since he was not yet a cultivator, he was temporarily settled on Glazed Island.

After carefully examining Li Fan's body, He Zhenghao slightly shook his head, remarking that he did not see any serious illness in her nephew.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Bai Suyue's eyes as she called it an "intractable disease."

He Zhenghao patted his chest and guaranteed Bai Suyue that once one embarked on the immortal path, all illnesses would vanish. He assured her that if the boy could cultivate successfully, he could defy fate and change his destiny, and that when the Spirit Cleansing Pool formation opened this time, he would personally ensure Li Fan's safety.

Bai Suyue bowed again in gratitude, promising that she would surely repay He Zhenghao's great kindness manifold in the future.

Six months later, Li Fan died suddenly within the Spirit Cleansing Pool formation.

Bai Suyue flew over upon hearing the news. The once relatively healthy Li Fan was now just a pool of blood and flesh.

Faced with the pool of blood, He Zhenghao's face was as pale as paper.

Seeing Bai Suyue's extremely grim expression, He Zhenghao's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily offered his deepest condolences.

He explained that it was all his fault; he had intended to help Li Fan through that hurdle but failed to notice that he had already reached his limit.

After listening to He Zhenghao's account, Bai Suyue took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

She asked if this meant Li Fan, as a mortal, had no talent for cultivation.

He Zhenghao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded, confirming that it seemed to be the case, as only a minority of mortals could embark on cultivation.

Recalling that she herself had only gradually gained the aptitude for cultivation through repeated rebirths, Bai Suyue sighed again.

She concluded that relying on Li Fan alone seemed impossible.

She would have to wait until her cultivation was higher before she could help him change his fate.

Without Li Fan as a burden, Bai Suyue focused solely on cultivation.

In ten years, she achieved the Golden Core realm.

As she accumulated resources and prepared to break through to the Nascent Soul stage,

A disaster descended from the heavens, and she died inexplicably.

Indeed!

Her progress in this life was quite good.

He Zhenghao had been a great help.

Her tenth life.

Bai Suyue, having regained consciousness, still had fear etched on her face.

She did not even know how she had died in her previous life.

She only remembered losing consciousness inexplicably while in seclusion within the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

She recalled that the Heavenly Profound Mirror was supposedly absolutely safe.

She concluded that the words of the Myriad Immortals Alliance indeed could not be fully trusted.

Forcing herself to calm down, Bai Suyue pondered how she should proceed in this life.

She recognized that she could cultivate, but mortals could not.

She calculated that if she were to forcefully change his fate, she would need at least Incarnation stage cultivation.

She also realized that while she could wait, Li Fan could not, and she did not have much time, unless she exchanged for some longevity treasures.

She considered that such treasures were even more expensive than cultivation techniques, making them somewhat impractical.

She had at most fifty-six years to break through from a mere mortal to the Incarnation stage.

It sounded somewhat incredible, but Bai Suyue was very confident.

Now, her cultivation talent was already sufficient; what limited her were merely the various materials required for breakthroughs in the cursed new method.

After taking care of her long-unseen nephew for a month, Bai Suyue once again arrived in the Xuanhuang World.

She again asked He Zhenghao to introduce her.

Although he had inadvertently caused Li Fan's death in the previous life, it had been an unintentional mistake.

Overall, he still earned Bai Suyue's trust.

With the various pieces of information she had carefully recorded from her previous life, Bai Suyue's path to advancement became smoother.

She reached Foundation Establishment in one month and Golden Core in half a year.

She reached Nascent Soul in ten years.

Bai Suyue became a world-renowned genius in the Cloud Sea.

She even gained the attention of the Myriad Immortals Alliance headquarters.

These ten years were not even spent on cultivation, but on performing tasks and earning contribution points.

Bai Suyue secretly resented that if there were no resource limitations, she could have progressed even faster.

Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, she was indeed very fast.

However, the hurdle of the Incarnation stage was not so easy to cross.

Firstly, news of the changes in the birth of heaven and earth was mostly controlled by various forces within the Myriad Immortals Alliance and would not be leaked.

Secondly, when these changes descended, the drastic shifts in heaven and earth would attract the attention of surrounding cultivators, inevitably leading to a fierce struggle.

She resolved that no matter what, anyone who dared to block her path...

A cold glint flashed in Bai Suyue's eyes as she mentally declared, "Die!"

Bai Suyue secretly inquired about the news of the changes in the birth of heaven and earth, while also waiting for the day that inexplicable calamity would descend.

This time, she specifically left Myriad Immortals Island in advance and went to the outskirts of the Cloud Sea to hide.

She wanted to observe for herself.

It was not until that wisp of crimson figure appeared that Bai Suyue finally understood the true source of the so-called disaster.

Instead of fear, she felt joy.

She had not expected it to be the Soul of Heaven and Earth.

She reasoned that this meant as long as she could break through to Incarnation, she also had great hope of entering the Dao Integration realm.

She also considered that at the Dao Integration realm, the probability of mortals having their fate changed would be greater.

Fiery flames consumed the sea, and Bai Suyue perished under the might of the crimson flames.

The superposition of spiritual essence was more terrifying than he had imagined.

With his aunt's current talent, if resources were sufficient, she could achieve true immortality. This was only after ten reincarnations.

He wondered what would happen after a hundred or even a thousand reincarnations.

In the dried-up Cloud Seabed, Li Fan appeared beside Bai Suyue's skeleton, his expression solemn.

He mused that other people's spiritual essence was almost always linked to their cultivation talent.

However, in his own case, infinite spiritual essence seemed to be just that—spiritual essence, nothing more.

He wondered why this was.

Li Fan frowned in deep thought. After a long time, the words "Indeed!" finally escaped his lips.

Her eleventh life.

With the accumulation of the previous ten lives, Bai Suyue finally completed her transformation to the Incarnation stage in twenty years.

This development shocked the Cloud Sea.

Her terrifying cultivation speed eventually attracted the attention of the Myriad Immortals Alliance headquarters.

She learned that she had been ordered to go to the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

Bai Suyue's expression was subtle, but she could not refuse.

Upon entering the Immortal Alliance headquarters, an illusion immediately appeared before her eyes.

It was a scene of the Dharma-Imparting Heavenly Venerate from when he first realized the new method.

She realized that when the Dharma-Imparting Heavenly Venerate realized the Dao, he had not been much younger than her.

She considered that cultivating the new method was truly too troublesome. He could create new methods, but she wondered if she could create an alternative method.

This thought flashed through Bai Suyue's mind.

The Immortal Alliance headquarters had summoned Bai Suyue primarily to investigate her background.

After all, Bai Suyue's cultivation speed was indeed too fast.

Moreover, her methods of acquiring various breakthrough resources were too coincidental.

At first, Bai Suyue was somewhat worried that the secret of her continuous rebirths would be exposed.

But after an inspection by the Myriad Immortals Alliance, nothing suspicious was found.

This made Bai Suyue breathe a sigh of relief.

She realized that this experience had given her a warning.

Bai Suyue secretly jolted awake, thinking that while these Dharma-Imparting cultivators could not see anything, the elusive Dharma-Imparting Heavenly Venerate might; it was said that powerhouses of that level had the ability to peer into people's hearts.

After a series of thrilling but ultimately safe events, she returned to the Cloud Sea.

After much thought, Bai Suyue decided to first try changing Li Fan's fate.

She also invited Island Master Hong Xi to assist.

After a period of torment, Li Fan finally shed his miasma and entered the Qi Refining realm.

Bai Suyue was overjoyed, knowing that the Heavenly Venerate's new method had no talent requirements. She thought that since her nephew could refine qi, as long as resources were sufficient, he could reach Nascent Soul, then Incarnation, and eventually Dao Integration.

As the saying goes, "Having gained one, one desires more." Since she had the ability, she naturally hoped to gain more.

Bai Suyue thought of the crimson flames that would soon appear, and the notion that had been stirring within her grew even stronger.

She was determined to slay the Crimson Flame and achieve Dao Integration.

Bai Suyue had witnessed the power of the Crimson Flame, so to maximize her chances of success, she, along with Hong Xi, invited six other Incarnation stage cultivators and one Dao Integration stage cultivator to bolster their formation.

As for who would ultimately seize the Crimson Flame, it would be up to their individual abilities.

A large net was slowly put in place.

The moment the Crimson Flame descended, everyone used all their means.

After a fierce battle, it was ultimately Bai Suyue who delivered the killing blow.

She became a Dao Integration Immortal Venerate!

When the power of the Crimson Flame transformed into a part of her body, Bai Suyue felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

She gazed down at Li Fan, who was also looking delighted due to her advancement, and a smile appeared on her face.

After this...

A shadowy figure quietly descended.

It killed instantly, then swallowed everything between heaven and earth.

He mused that indeed, no matter how talented one was, they still had to go through this.

He thought his act had been quite good.

Indeed!

Her twelfth life.

Upon waking, Bai Suyue felt that something was wrong with the Xuanhuang World.
