Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

He immediately put down the fragment of the Heavenly Summit Mirror in his hand and looked towards the direction where the figure had just appeared in the main hall of the Heavenly Summit Palace.

Nothing.

Could it be…

Chen Yan raised the Heavenly Summit Mirror fragment again, aimed it towards the direction where the figure had just appeared, made a few slight adjustments, and once again saw that figure through the fragment.

He was slowly walking within the Heavenly Summit Palace.

In the Heavenly Summit Mirror fragment, the person was wearing a white daoist robe, but its color seemed somewhat different from the pure white robes of the Kongshan Sect.

It seemed more like a moon-white color.

The difference in the daoist robes wasn’t just in the color, but also in the style.

The cords on Kongshan Sect robes were also pure white, but the cords around that figure’s waist were red, and there seemed to be a round piece of jade adorning them.

Just as Chen Yan was observing carefully, the figure suddenly turned around, and his gaze seemed to be looking directly at Chen Yan’s direction.

It seemed like… he was smiling at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan’s pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.

…

“Senior Brother Chen.”

Chen Yan snapped his eyes open, coming back to his senses.

It had only been an instant.

It seemed like just a second ago, he was still in the Heavenly Summit Palace.

But now…

“Wake up, Senior Brother Chen!”

Chen Yan looked around somewhat dazedly, finally settling his gaze on the person who had just woken him up.

A young girl stood there with her hands on her hips, her cheeks slightly puffed out, glaring at him with an expression of dissatisfaction.

Such a familiar sequence of events left Chen Yan momentarily disoriented.

However, the girl’s appearance before him and the environment he currently found himself in were completely unfamiliar to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan directed his gaze to the daoist robe worn by the girl before him.

A moon-white daoist robe, red cords, and on the cords, there was a pale white jade pendant as decoration.

Soon, Chen Yan realized what had happened.

He had crossed over again.

“Senior Brother Chen, you’ve been staring at that spot since just now!”

The girl took half a step back, her pretty face slightly flushed, looking at Chen Yan with some wariness in her eyes:

“I already told you, Elder Shi is waiting for you in the Internal Affairs Hall, telling you to hurry over!”

Elder Shi?

A name he had never heard before.

And as for the Internal Affairs Hall…

Chen Yan looked up, and his eyes immediately sharpened.

A majestic palace of pure white without any flaws floated more than two thousand zhang above his head.

Heavenly Summit Palace.

As Chen Yan moved his body, he suddenly felt something poking at his waist, then looked down.

Hanging from his waist was a token, inscribed with four large characters: “Heavenly Summit Water Mirror.”

Heavenly Summit Mountain, Water Mirror Pavilion.

Which meant his current identity was that of a Water Mirror Pavilion disciple of Heavenly Summit Mountain.

Although Chen Yan hadn’t completely sorted things out, his rich experience allowed him to quickly slip into his role.

“I’ll go right away.”

He said to the girl who seemed somewhat angry before him, then stood up and left the scene.

Chen Yan didn’t immediately head to the Internal Affairs Hall. No matter how late he was, at worst he’d get a scolding or some punishment, but if his identity was exposed, the problem would be serious.

He decided to gather information first.

Completely different from the desolate and tragic Heavenly Summit Mountain of later times, the current Heavenly Summit Mountain was full of vitality and prosperity.

Many cultivators wearing moon-white daoist robes walked on the streets, passing by Chen Yan.

Chen Yan assessed his current cultivation level.

It was the Passable God Realm.

The Hidden Immortal Art, the Great Derivation Art, the Purple Mansion Record, and various other techniques were all completely unrestricted and could be used freely.

Moreover, above his Martial Spring, dozens of strands of Clear Rainbow still hovered.

Chen Yan stepped onto an arched bridge, then turned to look in the direction below the bridge. From the mirror-like surface of the lake, he saw his own face.

It was his original appearance.

Both his cultivation and his looks.

This was something to be very thankful for—not being dropped into this era in the body of a cripple.

When Chen Yan’s gaze swept over the Heavenly Summit Mountain disciples passing by him, he noticed something remarkable.

That was, the vast majority of these Heavenly Summit Mountain disciples’ current cultivation realms were either the Martial Spring Realm or the Qi Sea Realm.

In any of the inner peaks of the Five Great Sects, the number of Qi Circulation Realm disciples would definitely be the largest.

But Heavenly Summit Mountain was different.

Heavenly Summit Mountain at its peak was at least two grades higher than the Five Great Sects, the only sacred land of cultivation on the Chenping Continent.

The reason the Five Great Sects could achieve such high status was at least seventy percent due to the legacy left behind by Heavenly Summit Mountain after its destruction.

Chen Yan began trying to chat with the Heavenly Summit Mountain disciples passing by to gather information about Elder Shi.

His efforts were quite effective.

First, he learned his own identity.

Named Chen Yan, he was a Supervisor of the Internal Affairs Hall of the Water Mirror Pavilion on Heavenly Summit Mountain.

And Elder Shi Shun, the Internal Affairs Hall Elder of the Water Mirror Pavilion’s Internal Affairs Hall, was Chen Yan’s direct superior.

Then, Chen Yan skillfully, easily, and without leaving any traces, shifted the topic to the Heavenly Summit Palace above their heads.

Immediately after, he got the answer he wanted.

Currently, the ruler of Heavenly Summit Mountain was Qinghong Realman, who had been ruling Heavenly Summit Mountain for two thousand five hundred years.

Chen Yan had read in ancient records that Qinghong Realman ruled Heavenly Summit Mountain for a total of just over two thousand five hundred years.

Qinghong Realman was the last ruler of Heavenly Summit Mountain.

Which meant the current era was on the eve of Heavenly Summit Mountain’s imminent destruction.

Chen Yan understood why he had crossed over to this era just before Heavenly Summit Mountain’s destruction.

Because of the Heavenly Summit Mirror.

Mr. You had said that by entering the Heavenly Summit Palace holding a fragment of the Heavenly Summit Mirror, one could see the truth of the Heavenly Summit Palace’s destruction.

But Chen Yan hadn’t expected it would be such an immersive experience.

During his conversations around the area, no one suspected Chen Yan.

Because his ability to think on his feet was sufficient to quickly cover any gaps he might leave in conversation.

Soon, Chen Yan learned why Elder Shi was looking for him.

Because this month, it was his turn to take care of Elder Wen, and he had been delaying.

Elder Shi was very angry.

Even though Elder Wen was now completely just a cripple, his status within the Water Mirror Pavilion remained very high.

Because he was the former Sword Master Elder of the Water Mirror Pavilion, and also a great power at the Dao Union Realm.

In fact, the systems of the vast majority of cultivation sects on the Chenping Continent were completely modeled after the Heavenly Summit Mountain system.

Except Heavenly Summit Mountain didn’t have Grand Elders.

Without exception, all the Sword Master Elders of Heavenly Summit Mountain’s six major peaks were Dao Union Realm cultivators.

Elder Wen was the former Sword Master Elder of Heavenly Summit Mountain’s Water Mirror Pavilion. For unknown reasons, he suddenly went mad twelve hundred years ago and now sat motionless all day in a chair in a courtyard of a detached residence within the Water Mirror Pavilion.

Completely still.

Only at the You hour (5-7 PM) each day would he turn his head to look into the air and utter some strange syllables that sounded completely meaningless.

“Ai sou pu qi wo yi ri shi.”

This was the phrase Elder Wen most often said to the air after going mad.
