Novel Full Chapter 271: Arriving at the Fallen Sword Mountain Range
Reincarnation Ended.
This Reincarnation Rating: C- (All beneath Immortal Ascension are but ants, what’s the use of racking your brains?)
Accumulated Cultivation: Early Stage of the Spirit Connection Realm
Reincarnation Reward: Li Fire Seal
Reincarnation settlement complete. The host will return to the previous reincarnation save point, inherit the accumulated cultivation from this reincarnation, and restart life.
…
Doom descended once more.
Demonic aura rapidly corroded every corner of the world. Whether animals, plants, demon beasts, or cultivators—any living being that came into contact with that aura would instantly lose all vitality.
Only cultivators of the upper three realms could barely hold on for a while.
But when faced with such utter despair, perhaps a painless death was also a form of release.
When Chen Yan regained consciousness, he found himself back at North Pass River.
However, this North Pass River was not yet the North Pass Sect; it was still just the North Pass River Ferry.
This was the small courtyard Mr. You had previously rented.
Beside him, the six-year-old Si Youyou was sprawled by the courtyard well, fast asleep.
Martial Spring Realm cultivators had abundant energy and generally did not need to sleep or eat.
Usually, when cultivators slept or ate, it was merely a preference.
So, this current point in time was…
Chen Yan was now a Spirit Connection Realm cultivator. His spiritual sense had improved significantly compared to before. After searching through his memories, he quickly recalled the current timeline.
After the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry concluded, Chen Yan had brought Si Youyou back to the North Pass River Ferry. They were currently in the planning stages of establishing the North Pass Sect.
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yan decided to abandon this plan.
His purpose for founding the North Pass Sect was to participate in the Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent, and then, during the assembly, reveal the truth about the Fallen Sword Mountain Range in front of all the participants.
But judging from the outcome of the previous reincarnation, revealing the truth early was utterly meaningless.
Just as the reincarnation rating stated, when facing that demon egg within the Fallen Sword Mountain Range, all beneath Immortal Ascension were but ants.
What of the Dao Union Realm?
What of the Five Great Sects?
What of the nearly thousand upper three realm cultivators gathering at the Fallen Sword Mountain Range?
It was all futile.
Next was the reincarnation reward for this cycle.
Li Fire Seal.
The rating for this reincarnation was the same as the one he received back in Taiyun City of Qingque Kingdom when he met Xiao Bo’an: C-.
The reward Chen Yan received that time was the Xun Wind Step.
This time, the reincarnation reward was another new offensive technique: the Li Fire Seal.
Chen Yan tried to activate the Li Fire Seal. As true qi surged through his meridians, a flicker of crimson fire, red as blood and dazzlingly bright—a pinnacle of yang fire—was born from his fingertip.
He could feel the destructive power contained within this crimson flame. Without needing to use the Clear Rainbow from the Hidden Immortal Art or the derivations of the Great Derivation Art, it could elevate his current combat power by another level.
Chen Yan’s cultivation realm had now reached the Spirit Connection Realm. After the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry, in the eyes of the world, he was an upper three realm great power.
As long as he didn’t seek death by doing something that would outrage both gods and men, inviting a crusade from the cultivation world, he could practically walk sideways across Chenping Continent.
Therefore, in his current state, while the Li Fire Seal was a powerful technique, it didn’t provide as significant a boost as one might imagine.
To resolve the crisis eight years later, the trump cards he currently possessed were far from sufficient.
The Five Great Sects and those Dao Union Realm cultivators could not be relied upon. This had already been confirmed in the previous reincarnation.
Immortal Ascension reincarnations.
Chen Yan could only pin his hopes on those great powers who were reincarnations of Immortal Ascension Realm beings.
Historically, Chenping Continent had produced a total of thirty-one Immortal Ascension Realm True Persons. Chen Yan didn’t know if the reincarnation of these Immortal Ascension Realm great powers required specific conditions. He only knew that relying on himself to find other Immortal Ascension reincarnations was nearly impossible.
Unless the reincarnated bodies of those Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators actively sought him out.
Currently, Chen Yan only knew of two Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator reincarnations.
One was Mr. You; the other was the little girl currently snoring by the well, Si Youyou.
After the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry ended, Mr. You had vanished without a trace.
Chen Yan’s gaze fell upon Si Youyou.
If Si Youyou were to step into the Spirit Connection Realm, that would mean she would regain all the memories of Pure Dust True Person.
But then, Youyou would no longer be Youyou.
Chen Yan had lost count of how many reincarnations he had experienced. Although he still possessed humanity and emotions, he was no longer as indecisive as he had been in the beginning.
Rationality outweighed everything.
Otherwise, with the continuous cycles of reincarnation and the intensifying Karmic Backlash, what likely awaited him was another dead end.
This time, there would be no Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul to help him find release.
However, after weighing the options, Chen Yan ultimately decided to shelve this line of thinking for now.
There were two main reasons.
First, Chen Yan did not know Pure Dust True Person well. If she returned to the world, her actions would be completely unpredictable.
Second, even if Pure Dust True Person were to stand on his side, it would still be difficult to solve the problem.
Because the Path to Immortality in this world had been severed for seven thousand years. The peak cultivators could reach was the pinnacle of the Dao Union Realm.
…The Fallen Sword Mountain Range.
It was the source of all the world-ending disasters. To this day, Chen Yan had never set foot in the Fallen Sword Mountain Range again to see for himself what the so-called Great Demon’s Egg actually looked like.
A thought suddenly occurred to Chen Yan.
Mr. You had told him more than once that the reason he chose Chen Yan was precisely to witness the end of the Heavenly Dao Fate.
And in the current cycle of reincarnation, the ultimate fate of Chenping Continent was to be repeatedly eroded and destroyed by demonic aura.
That is to say, was there a possibility…
…
The forest was dense and lush with greenery.
Chen Yan stood alone at the edge of the mountain range. He reached out to touch the space before him, only to be repelled by a semi-transparent barrier.
The Fallen Sword Mountain Range.
The Fallen Sword Mountain Range was now sealed off by the Kongshan Sect. A barrier had been erected using the innate true energy of a Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator from the Kongshan Sect.
But this could not stop Chen Yan, who had now stepped into the Spirit Connection Realm.
He raised his hand and began to activate the Great Derivation Art. True qi surged through his meridians, quickly coalescing into spiritual energy at his fingertip.
Kongshan Finger.
Immediately after, vast spiritual energy erupted from his fingertip, blasting a hole the size of a bowl in the semi-transparent barrier before him.
Several cracks radiated out from the breach, spreading in all directions across the barrier. The cracks multiplied, becoming more and more numerous until they were densely packed.
In an instant, the sealing barrier constructed by the Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator completely shattered and collapsed.
