Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

Indeed, the true reason Chen Yan chose to establish the North Pass Sect was to once again go to Heavenly Summit Mountain and participate in the Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent, the grandest cultivation gathering in the cultivation world of Chenping Continent held once every ten years.

Ten years have already passed since the last Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent.

It can be said that the previous Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent cast a great shadow over the entire cultivation world.

Countless heaven-chosen talents from various cultivation sects across Chenping Continent perished on Heavenly Summit Mountain, leading to a severe generational gap in young talents aged between twenty and thirty in today’s cultivation world compared to ten years ago.

And the architectural complex on Heavenly Summit Mountain has also largely been reduced to ruins.

Over the past ten years, the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent have spent millions of high-grade spirit stones, hundreds of millions of taels of gold, and an incalculable amount of silver to rebuild and repair the structures on Heavenly Summit Mountain.

Naturally, the Kongshan Sect bore the lion’s share of this expense, as all of this originated because of them.

And now, the Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent will be held as scheduled.

Chenping Continent is vast in territory. For the Five Great Sects to extend their influence to every corner within their respective spheres of influence, even if the talents of their inner disciples were higher and their cultivation deeper, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve.

Because they simply cannot be everywhere at once, having no time to attend to everything.

Under such circumstances, the importance of each sect’s outer court to the extension of their influence becomes apparent.

With the reputation and prestige of the Five Great Sects, before the Heavenly Summit Mountain Cataclysm, they could achieve control over more than eighty percent of the Chenping Continent’s cultivation world relying on their outer sect disciples distributed in every corner of the continent.

However, after the Heavenly Summit Mountain Cataclysm ended, some reckless individuals who didn’t know their own limits began to attempt challenging the authority of the Five Great Sects, thinking that the Five Great Sects would be like the first-rate sects they knew of, weakened by the consequences of the cataclysm and too preoccupied to bother with small fry like them.

The most typical examples Chen Yan knew of were the Spirit Snake Cliff and the Biqiu Sect located in the Southern Region of Chenping Continent.

Incidents like these have been occurring constantly from various corners of Chenping Continent over the past ten years.

For this reason, the Five Great Sects desperately need an opportunity to flex their muscles to the cultivation world, and this Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent has become the best stage for the Five Great Sects to display their strength.

For Chen Yan, this is also clearly an opportunity to make contact with the Five Great Sects.

In the eyes of the outside world, his current identity is the founding patriarch of the North Pass Sect, a great power of the Unity realm.

According to the etiquette of the Chenping Continent cultivation world, if Si Chen, as a Unity realm cultivator, wanted to visit the Five Great Sects, then the Five Great Sects would also have to send cultivators of equivalent realm to receive him.

This means that, assuming Chen Yan were to visit the Kongshan Sect, the person responsible for receiving him might be Sect Leader Yun Yichen, or a certain Unity realm Grand Elder from among the Four Supreme Courts.

Using the characteristics of the Hidden Immortal Art and the Great Derivation Art to deceive cultivators of the Lower Three Realms and the Middle Three Realms is one thing.

But to truly try to deceive Upper Three Realm cultivators would risk fooling himself into a trap.

As for how he managed to intimidate those two Unity realm cultivators of the Lightning-Severing Sect back then, to the point of making them dizzy-headed, and even maintaining a relatively friendly relationship between the North Pass Sect and the Lightning-Severing Sect to this day, it was all thanks to Mr. You and the face afforded by his high-grade magical instrument.

Since the establishment of the North Pass Sect, Chen Yan has never met those two Grand Elders of the Lightning-Severing Sect. All matters have been negotiated by sending his subordinates to deal with the Lightning-Severing Sect’s people.

Naturally, Chen Yan will not participate in this Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent under the identity of Si Chen.

During these three years of being active in the Northern Region of Chenping Continent, Chen Yan did not only have the one identity of Si Chen.

He raised his hand and retrieved another human skin mask from his storage magical instrument.

North Pass Sect, External Affairs Hall Elder, Qi Sea Realm cultivator, Chen Cheng.

This was the identity he fabricated for himself while wearing another mask.

Over the past three years, aside from developing the sect, Chen Yan devoted all his energy to impersonating the North Pass Sect’s External Affairs Hall Elder, Chen Cheng, to gather intelligence as much as possible.

Chen Cheng was a name Chen Yan casually made up, simply because it rolled off the tongue easily, with no particular meaning.

And it was precisely as Chen Cheng that Chen Yan intended to lead a team to participate in this Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent.

Chen Cheng’s mask was not a product of the Mirage Palace, but an imitation manufactured by rogue cultivators in the world. Its craftsmanship was completely not on the same level as masks produced by the Mirage Palace.

No matter.

Chen Yan had a solution for this as well, which was to use the Hidden Immortal Art to blur the boundary between this mask and his true self, achieving an effect so realistic it could pass for genuine.

Unlike the three Dao Inquirer slots allotted to the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent, cultivation sects of the scale of the North Pass Sect, which Chen Yan single-handedly founded, could only send one Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquirer.

The selection criteria for a Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquirer had strict restrictions.

First, the cultivation realm must be the Martial Spring Realm.

Second, the age must absolutely not exceed twenty years old.

Within the North Pass Sect, only one person could satisfy these two conditions.

That was Si Youyou.

As mentioned before, the establishment of the North Pass Sect primarily relied on the allegiance of rogue cultivators.

Among these rogue cultivators, those under twenty years old who had reached the Qi Circulation Realm were already quite rare, let alone those under twenty in the Martial Spring Realm.

Si Youyou was the only one.

This little girl, now only nine years old, has already reached the peak of the Martial Spring Realm in cultivation.

In the previous cycle of reincarnation, Si Youyou, as the chief disciple of Qingjin Peak of Wind Ravine Valley, was also at the peak of the Martial Spring Realm.

However, there are differences between these two cycles.

In the previous cycle, the reason Si Youyou’s cultivation stagnated at the peak of the Martial Spring Realm was because Wind Ravine Valley wanted her to participate in the Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry, hence suppressing her own speed of realm breakthrough.

Just like Qin Qingyu.

In this cycle, Si Youyou’s cultivation is at the peak of the Martial Spring Realm because that is the highest she has currently cultivated to.

The gap in cultivation resources between the North Pass Sect and Wind Ravine Valley is simply too vast.

But if we only consider combat power, Chen Yan does not believe that Si Youyou in this cycle would lose to Si Youyou from the previous cycle who was the chief disciple of Qingjin Ravine of Wind Ravine Valley.

Because Chen Yan taught Si Youyou the Purple Mansion Record.

Although among the three major cultivation arts currently mastered by Chen Yan, the Purple Mansion Record is the most unremarkable one.

However, when compared to ordinary cultivation arts of Chenping Continent, or even top-tier cultivation arts, the Purple Mansion Record’s leading advantage is not just a little bit.

Therefore, Si Youyou, who is currently practicing the Purple Mansion Record, can unleash effects far surpassing her former self from the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry, whether it be the Thousand Clouds Transformation, the Piercing Sun Rainbow, or the Xun Wind Step.
