Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

“Disciple-nephew Chen!”

Upon stepping into the Scripture Hall, the Scripture Hall Elder greeted him with a beaming smile:

“Come quickly, we’ve been waiting for you!”

The Scripture Hall Elder of Kongyuan Mountain was named Wang Shicheng, a cultivator at the late stage of the Passable God Realm.

Even so, he still appeared remarkably attentive and eager in front of Chen Yan.

This, of course, was not because of Chen Yan’s current status as the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain.

Rather, it was due to the achievements he had accomplished on Kongyuan Mountain over the past year.

Chen Yan had already obtained the Purple Mansion Record ten months prior.

Although the grade of the Purple Mansion Record was two tiers lower compared to the Hidden Immortal Art.

Yet, when compared to the Kongshan Art, the Purple Mansion Record was actually two tiers higher.

Therefore, Chen Yan made a rather remarkable decision back then.

That was to use the techniques of the Purple Mansion Record to perform certain optimizations and improvements on the Kongshan Art.

Chen Yan succeeded.

The achievements he made soon overshadowed his past history of “cheating” in the outer court competition.

On Kongyuan Mountain, and even throughout the entire Kongshan Sect, he became a figure of the new generation almost on par with Chu Xiyao and Li Haowen.

After successfully partially improving the Kongshan Art, his selection as the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain also became a matter of course.

Nowadays, Chen Yan even serves as a guest instructor in the Scripture Hall, making an appearance here every half month.

“Elder Wang.”

Chen Yan greeted with a smile.

“So, Disciple-nephew Chen, how was that thousand-year Dragon Saliva Grass I gave you last time?”

Wang Shicheng asked.

“Exquisite.”

Chen Yan replied.

In truth, he hadn’t consumed that thousand-year Dragon Saliva Grass at all, but instead took it to Zhao Bin to exchange for some spirit stones.

The main reason was that Chen Yan’s innate cultivation talent was extremely poor, an unchangeable fact no matter what.

Even if he ate it, it wouldn’t provide much significant boost to his cultivation.

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Wang Shicheng nodded, then lowered his voice:

“I wonder if Disciple-nephew Chen will have time after today’s scripture lecture ends? My unworthy disciple has been somewhat confused about certain passages of the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art recently. I wonder if Disciple-nephew could…”

“My apologies, Elder Wang.”

Chen Yan declined:

“I’m afraid not today, as later on, I need to make a trip to the Rear Cliff.”

Hearing this, Wang Shicheng seemed to have a sudden realization, raising his hand to slap his forehead:

“Today is the day Lin Personal Disciple comes out of seclusion?”

“Exactly.”

Chen Yan nodded.

“Ah, then that must not be delayed! I was inconsiderate!”

“It’s fine, Elder Wang. I will come again tomorrow, and at that time, I will clear up your beloved disciple’s confusion.”

Chen Yan said.

“Then I’ll trouble Disciple-nephew Chen.”

Elder Wang said.

Today was the day Lin Qifeng would be released from the Rear Cliff.

Of course, the reason Yun Yichen wanted to release Lin Qifeng from the Rear Cliff was absolutely not because he forgave him or had a change of heart.

According to Sect Leader Yun’s temperament, he would have even wanted to confine Lin Qifeng on the Rear Cliff for a few more centuries.

Cheating in the outer court competition?

Regardless of whether it was true or false, it had caused Yun Yichen to lose all face.

The real reason Sect Leader Yun would release Lin Qifeng was because someone was about to return.

The previous Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, Yun Yichen’s youngest personal disciple, the Dao Sect Wanderer of Kongshan Sect, Liu Yantang.

Yun Yichen had a total of six disciples.

Among them, Lin Qifeng ranked fifth, while Yue Chi was second.

The previous Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, the current Dao Sect Wanderer, Liu Yantang, ranked sixth.

After she relinquished her position as Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, she had been traveling abroad for fifteen years.

During this time, she had never returned to Kongshan Sect.

Therefore, when Liu Yantang was about to return, Yun Yichen planned to at least have his six disciples, both senior brothers and junior sister, reunite once.

That’s why he intended to release Lin Qifeng from the Rear Cliff.

After leaving the Scripture Hall, Chen Yan headed straight for the Rear Cliff of Kongyuan Mountain.

By this time, someone had long been waiting in front of the Rear Cliff.

“Chen Yan pays his respects to Martial Uncle Yue.”

“Mm.”

The white-haired old man dressed in a Bagua Daoist robe nodded, his hands clasped behind his back.

Chen Yan knew that among Sect Leader Yun’s disciples, Yue Chi and Lin Qifeng had the best relationship.

Sect Leader Yun’s first disciple, that is, the eldest senior brother of Lin Qifeng and Yue Chi, had now become the Dignity Elder of Kongyuan Mountain.

The status and position of the third senior brother were similar to Elder Yue Chi’s; he served as an elder at the Kongyuan Mountain Training Grounds.

As for the fourth senior brother, he had always stayed by Yun Yichen’s side, helping the sect leader convey various orders and decrees.

Then came Lin Qifeng and Liu Yantang.

Lin Qifeng was first exiled from Kongyuan Mountain by the sect leader, then later confined to the Rear Cliff of Kongyuan Mountain for reflection and repentance.

Liu Yantang, as Sect Leader Yun’s youngest disciple, had been deeply favored by the sect leader from the very day she became his disciple.

“After your master comes out, he must go to see the sect leader.”

Yue Chi said.

“Do I need to go along as well?”

Chen Yan asked.

“Yes.”

Yue Chi replied:

“It’s about time you met the sect leader face-to-face. After all, you are the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, and because the trial implementation of the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art on Kongyuan Mountain has achieved a certain degree of success, the sect leader is also very eager to meet you.”

“This disciple understands.”

Chen Yan made a bowing salute with clasped hands.

Up until now, Chen Yan had never met Yun Yichen, the current helmsman of the Kongshan Sect.

This great power at the Unity Realm was now over three hundred years old, yet his appearance still resembled that of a young man in his twenties.

It was said his current cultivation realm had reached the late stage of the Unity Realm, and he could likely break through to the Divine Ability Realm within a dozen or so years.

Even the Grand Elders within the sect held expectations for him, hoping he could achieve Dao Union before reaching five hundred years of age.

As for the Immortal Ascension Realm, no one harbored such extravagant hopes.

Eight thousand years ago, Su Hongzhen successfully ascended to immortality, yet after only a thousand years, he perished in the Fallen Sword Mountain Range.

Since then, no one on the Chenping Continent had ascended to immortality.

There had been a few great powers who reached the peak of the Dao Union Realm, but when they attempted to take that step towards immortal ascension, they all found themselves stuck at a bottleneck.

Five thousand years ago, when a peak Dao Union Realm Grand Elder from Mirage Palace, one of the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent, failed in his attempt to break through to the Immortal Ascension Realm, suffered backlash from the Great Dao, and ultimately perished, he left behind a single sentence:

“The path to immortality on Chenping Continent is severed.”

It was only then that the cultivators of Chenping Continent finally sensed the change in the laws of heaven and earth.

Some attributed the inability to ascend to immortality to Su Hongzhen’s attempt to take that step beyond immortality, which resulted in backlash from the Great Dao, not only severely injuring himself but also grievously wounding the Great Dao of Chenping Continent.

Some believed it was because of that “curse” left behind by the Mirage Palace Grand Elder before his demise.

Others thought it was because of the so-called “Cause of Calamity.”

Chen Yan didn’t know why, but he believed he would uncover the truth sooner or later.

Because he existed within the cycle of reincarnation spanning nearly infinite years.
