Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

The pitch-black rifts in the sky continued to spread.

Nearly a quarter of Chenping Continent had now completely fallen into Eternal Night.

Three hundred years had passed since the Great Chaos of the Immortals ended.

Over those three hundred years, one-third of the hundreds of thousands of mortal dynasties that once spanned the vast land of Chenping Continent, stretching tens of millions of li in every direction, had been destroyed.

Not only that, Chenping Continent’s population had now dwindled to less than half of what it had been three hundred years ago.

Cultivators and mortals alike had gradually begun to accept the fact that Chenping Continent was heading toward destruction.

Or rather, they had no choice but to accept it.

After all, even Immortal Ascension cultivators were powerless in the face of Chenping Continent’s end.

Otherwise, Du Cang Mountain would not have been utterly destroyed forty years ago.

......

Chenping Continent, Eastern Domain.

The Radiant Dynasty, Shengjing.

As a secular kingdom bordering Lingxiao Temple, the Radiant Dynasty had long enjoyed Lingxiao Temple’s “benevolence,” and its reign had endured for three thousand years.

Shengjing City was still a thriving place.

That was because the so-called end was still too far away from the Radiant Dynasty.

Furthermore, to this day, neither the Radiant Dynasty nor any of the neighboring mortal kingdoms had taken in refugees fleeing Eternal Night.

The people of the Radiant Dynasty had no idea the end was approaching.

Cultivators, however, were another matter.

On Vermilion Bird Avenue in Shengjing stood a lavishly decorated, four-story teahouse.

A black plaque edged in gold hung over its entrance. Three bold, elegant characters were written across it:

Yulai Pavilion.

It was said that hundreds of years ago, those who came and went through the teahouse known as Yulai Pavilion were all nobles and officials of Shengjing, scions of distinguished families, and Immortal Masters dressed in daoist robes.

But no one knew when it had begun. At some point, the nobles, officials, and young masters from distinguished families could no longer be seen in Yulai Pavilion.

The only ones who still came and went were the Immortal Masters dressed in daoist robes.

Today was no different.

More than forty square tables stood in Yulai Pavilion’s main hall, and cultivators in daoist robes sat beside more than ten of them.

Today, the cultivators who had come from all over were discussing only one topic:

“Have you heard? The North Pass Sect in the Northern Region of Chenping Continent was destroyed five days ago by the Mystic Maiden, who suddenly descended from beyond the sky!”

“Wasn’t the North Pass Sect founded three hundred years ago by that Upper Three Realm cultivator named Si Chen?”

“That’s right. I remember the North Pass Sect had someone named Si Youyou back then, too...”

As he spoke, the cultivator lowered his voice:

“There’s a rumor that Si Youyou of the North Pass Sect was the greatest genius in Chenping Continent back then. She was even said to outshine the Realman Yuexu of the Star Heaven Sect today!”

“I’ve heard that too, but the version I heard was a little different. I heard that Si Youyou was the reincarnated body of Pure Dust True Person, the tenth-generation Ascended Steward of Heavenly Summit Mountain.”

“How is that any different? Why was Si Youyou a genius? Because she was the reincarnated body of Pure Dust True Person, that’s why!”

“If that’s the case, why haven’t we heard a thing about that Si Chen of the North Pass Sect in the past three hundred years?”

“Everything passes like a fleeting cloud. In the cultivation world of Chenping Continent, even an Upper Three Realm great could very well vanish from this world without anyone noticing.”

One cultivator sighed.

“What’s more, in times like these, no one knows how much longer they’ll live.”

News of the North Pass Sect’s destruction had already spread across all of Chenping Continent.

“Yeah. I heard the rift torn open in the sky has already reached the doorstep of the Kongshan Sect.”

A cultivator said:

“Hard to say. Really hard to say.”

“The North Pass Sect’s destruction has had a huge impact on the cultivation sects in the Northern Region, too. After all, the North Pass River Ferry used to be one of the three great ferries in Chenping Continent’s Northern Region.”

“None of that matters anymore. In times like these, you just live one day at a time.”

Another cultivator sighed at last.

With that sigh, the entire teahouse fell silent.

Because he was right.

With the end now approaching, all anyone could do was live one day at a time.

At that very moment, in a corner of the teahouse’s main hall, an old man dressed in the daoist robes of the Star Heaven Sect’s Vast Dome Gate sat by himself.

His expression was calm, his eyes lowered slightly as he rubbed the rim of the teacup before him with the pad of his right index finger.

These days, seeing a cultivator from the Star Heaven Sect in the Eastern Domain of Chenping Continent was a rare sight.

But the tea patrons in the teahouse paid the Star Heaven Sect cultivator little attention.

A few breaths later, the teahouse’s front door suddenly swung open.

The sound from behind drew the attention of several cultivators inside.

A beautiful female cultivator dressed in white stepped into the main hall. Her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, and her bearing was cool and aloof.

Her gaze did not fall on anyone in the teahouse.

She simply walked straight toward the corner of the hall, then took a seat at the square table beside the old man in the daoist robes of the Star Heaven Sect’s Vast Dome Gate.

“Who’s that woman who just came in?” someone whispered.

“Never seen her before. She’s probably a Rogue Cultivator visiting Shengjing City for the first time.”

“Pretty face, exceptional bearing. If I had the chance to get close to her...”

“Young man, you’ve been cultivating for over a hundred years, and you’re already a dignified Martial Spring Realm great. You’re still thinking about that?”

“With Chenping Continent’s Fate nearly exhausted, what’s the point of keeping one’s dao heart pure?”

“Stop running your mouth. Didn’t you see her sit right beside that Star Heaven Sect Senior? She’s probably some important figure, too.”

“So what if it’s the Star Heaven Sect? Is it like we don’t see people from Lingxiao Temple here in Shengjing City?”

“Take another look at the token at that Star Heaven Sect Senior’s waist.”

“What about it? Isn’t that just a disciple token from the Star Heaven Sect?”

“Disciple token, my foot. Look closely. That’s an Offering Elder’s token from the Star Heaven Sect’s Vast Dome Gate. He’s a Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator!”

At those words, the Martial Spring Realm cultivator who had been so flippant turned deathly pale.

If the other man was a Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator, that meant he had heard everything the speaker had just said.

The true qi a Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator exhaled and inhaled in a single breath was enough to take his life!

But his worry was entirely unnecessary.

Because no one would pay any attention to an insignificant nobody like him.

In the corner of the teahouse, the two cultivators seated at neighboring square tables acted as though the other were nothing but thin air, not even glancing at one another.

Until the cool, aloof female cultivator with white clothes and waterfall-like black hair spoke first:

“Your Excellency, are you Fan Mowen, the Offering Elder of the Star Heaven Sect’s Vast Dome Gate?”
