Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

Talent is cruel.

If you have it, you have it. If you do not, you do not.

Xing Ziang did not live up to his junior’s expectations, he simply did what he should.

If he had cheated to get Xing Zimo through this test, that would have truly been harming him.

Xing Zimo turned and stepped down from the platform. His gaze toward Chen Yan showed a hint of disappointment, but he still smiled, and as he passed Chen Yan he lightly patted his shoulder,

“Keep it up, Yan Chen.”

Chen Yan only nodded to Xing Zimo, then stepped onto the platform.

“Huh?”

When Chen Yan climbed the platform and stood before that transparent orb, a young female cultivator standing behind the white-bearded elder and Xing Ziang made a hesitant sound.

Her eyes lingered on Chen Yan’s face for a moment, revealing a trace of interest.

“Sister Zhu, what are you staring at?”

The young male cultivator beside her asked toward the female cultivator.

“What, Brother Gongsun, don’t you want her looking at other men?”

The young female cultivator withdrew her gaze from Chen Yan’s face and said that to the male cultivator at her side.

Her overly sweet, affected voice made Chen Yan slightly uneasy.

But Brother Gongsun?

What relationship did he have with Biqiu Sect’s sect leader Gongsun Kang?

Chen Yan wondered.

“Behave yourselves while traveling,” the white-bearded elder said with half-closed eyes to the two of them.

“Yes, Elder Wang.”

The young cultivator surnamed Gongsun replied, glancing once toward Chen Yan.

Chen Yan could sense the emotion contained in that glance.

He seemed to feel great disdain for him.

Chen Yan ignored the displeasure expressed at him and simply placed his hand on the transparent orb in front of him.

A strand of spiritual energy leaked from the orb and flowed into Chen Yan’s palm, then along his skin into his body.

Nothing happened.

“Passed, next!”

Xing Ziang handed Biqiu Sect’s token to Chen Yan, then continued calling out.

Chen Yan stepped down from the platform and was met by the gazes of the Xing family disciples, or rather, the envy of everyone except those born into cultivation families.

They all knew what passing the first round meant.

It meant Yan Chen was no longer an ordinary martial disciple of the Xing Mansion, but an Immortal Master, an initiate of Biqiu Sect.

To mortals, that was utterly unattainable, something to look up to.

Facing the admiring eyes directed at him, Chen Yan felt nothing inside.

…

Afternoon.

Biqiu Sect’s disciple acceptance ceremony in Yunyang City had concluded. Among thousands of youths, seventeen passed the first round of testing and selection.

Eight of them were scions of Yunyang City’s cultivation families.

Among the Xing family disciples, none except Chen Yan passed the selection.

Xing Ziang felt a little regret over the result, but he was not surprised.

The Path to Immortality is harsh and elusive, and the vast majority of people in this world are mortals.

Even the slightest cultivation talent is already a rare stroke of luck.

Having come from a martial family, Xing Ziang naturally understood this.

The city lord of Yunyang personally saw the Biqiu Sect Immortal Masters off outside the city, bowing respectfully.

According to Elder Wang, riding an ordinary horse from Yunyang City to Biqiu Sect would take ten days in total.

If one rode a spirit horse, it would take less than three days.

But in the Yunyang City area, spirit horses could not be rented at all.

In fact, the spirit stones required to raise a spirit horse far exceeded ordinary cultivators’ imaginations.

Only the Five Great Sects and a few top-tier sects could raise tens of thousands of spirit horses for their disciples.

There was no choice but to ride ordinary horses and set off for Biqiu Sect.

Once they returned to Biqiu Sect, the sect would hold the second round of the disciple acceptance ceremony.

Those who passed that round would become inner disciples of Biqiu Sect.

The candidates for the second round would certainly be far more than the seventeen recruited in Yunyang City.

After all, there were twenty inner disciple openings in Biqiu Sect.

Elder Wang said that roughly four hundred people might come to participate in Biqiu Sect’s second round of selection.

Of those, more than one hundred would probably give up the chance to enter Biqiu Sect after the inner disciple selection.

Those who gave up were mostly scions of cultivation families.

They rode ordinary horses along the official road of Jin’an Country.

Night fell.

Elder Wang looked ahead and noticed an inn built several hundred zhang in front of them.

Then he turned back and saw the mostly still-young children, all looking exhausted.

That was only natural.

They had started the Biqiu Sect acceptance ceremony early in the morning and then ridden all afternoon until evening.

For these mortal youths, it was truly hard to bear.

Elder Wang decided to stop traveling for the day so everyone could rest.

Shortly after entering the inn, Xing Ziang walked over to Chen Yan.

“You’re from the Xing family?”

Xing Ziang asked.

“Yes, the Xing Mansion has shown me favor,” Chen Yan answered.

“I left in such a hurry this time, so I didn’t even manage to go home to check on things,” Xing Ziang said to Chen Yan, then asked,

“Is everything all right at home?”

“From what I saw, everything’s fine. Master Xing’s health is still quite robust,” Chen Yan said.

“That’s good…”

Xing Ziang nodded.

“If you encounter any difficulties at the sect later that you can’t resolve, come find me. I’ll help where I can.”

“Thank you, Immortal Brother Xing,” Chen Yan said.

“We’re all one family—just call me Brother Xing,” Xing Ziang replied.

…

Night.

Chen Yan was very tired now.

He was only at the early stage of the Body Forging Realm and still needed plenty of sleep to maintain his energy.

Especially after a whole day of travel.

Lying in the inn, staring at the shabby ceiling and the faint moldy smell in the air, he realized there were still nine days on the road.

Images of Biqiu Sect and that surnamed-Gongsun fellow crossed his mind.

Gongsun Sheng.

The son of Biqiu Sect’s sect leader, Gongsun Kang.

For some unrelated reasons, the young man had taken a dislike to Chen Yan.

It had to be said, humility and temperance remain required lessons for some juniors.

But for a spoiled son of a third-rate sect like Gongsun Sheng, who lived in his comfort zone and relied on his father’s power, one shouldn’t expect much.

Chen Yan only hoped he would not be made trouble by him.

With that thought, he slowly closed his eyes and drifted into sleep…
