Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

Still breathing.

Zhou Jinyun looked at the young disciple lying on the bed, dressed in the Ten Directions Tower robe of Mirage Palace, thinking to herself.

Then, she turned around, her gaze falling on Chen Yan’s back as he sat at the table.

“Senior, this is…”

“That special envoy from Mirage Palace who came to Moxu Mountain. His name is Huangfu Han. He’s an Offering Elder of Ten Directions Tower. What do you think? Do you know him?”

Chen Yan didn’t turn around. He remained seated upright at the table, asking Zhou Jinyun.

“No, I don’t.”

Zhou Jinyun shook her head.

“But you should be able to guess. This Elder Huangfu is Grand Elder Jing’s man.”

Chen Yan continued.“…Mm.”

This time, Zhou Jinyun nodded.

She could indeed guess that this Elder Huangfu from Ten Directions Tower must have some connection with Grand Elder Jing.

Because whether it was the incomplete copy of the Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Canon or that seven-thousand-year-old Rain-Lin Pearl Vine, they were all just decoys.

The true purpose of the so-called Mirage Palace envoy group was probably the same as those who went to the Kang Family in Jiangdu Prefecture.

It was just that Protector Huang and the others seemed unaware of the truth behind it all.

“You’re not very familiar with the people inside Mirage Palace, are you?”

“Yes.”

Zhou Jinyun replied.

In truth, all these names had been completely unfamiliar to Zhou Jinyun before now.

After all, as the chief disciple of Weaving Dreams Tower, Zhou Jinyun was only just fourteen years old this year.

Moreover, during her time at Mirage Palace, the vast majority of her time was spent on cultivation.

A fourteen-year-old Martial Spring Realm cultivator who had also made some progress in illusion techniques.

To achieve such accomplishments, even with the aptitude of an Ascending to Immortality talent, it was impossible without hard work and dedication.

Therefore, Zhou Jinyun’s interpersonal relationships within Mirage Palace were extremely limited. The only people she associated with on a daily basis were the direct disciples of Weaving Dreams Tower.

As for disciples from the other five towers besides Weaving Dreams Tower, Zhou Jinyun only knew a few of the most famous elders or prodigies in the sect.

At this moment, apart from focusing his attention on controlling his External Incarnation, which had transformed into the Mirage Palace disciple Fang Yuan hundreds of miles away, Chen Yan’s spiritual sense still enveloped the skies above Moxu Mountain.

When Chen Yan had first arrived at Moxu Mountain with Little Su and Little Zhou, there had been a total of seventy-four thousand, five hundred and forty-one cultivators here.

Now, only four remained.

And that included Fang Yuan, who originally didn’t belong to Moxu Mountain.

The only reason Chen Yan had been able to protect these few people and prevent them from being sacrificed was entirely due to the Hidden Immortal Art.

Completely concealing the existence of those inside this room.

Su Hongzhen sat to the side.

When he saw the young disciple on the bed, tied up like a rice dumpling and dressed in a Mirage Palace robe, there was no hint of surprise in his eyes.

This boy, only just thirteen years old, had already experienced far too much in the last two or three months.

“I need to step out for a bit.”

Chen Yan said to Zhou Jinyun.

At present, the people from Mirage Palace were moving away from Moxu Mountain.

They were already approaching the edge of Chen Yan’s spiritual sense detection range.

Therefore, Chen Yan’s main body had to move in order to keep up with those Mirage Palace cultivators.

The Mirage Palace envoy group consisted of eleven people in total: one Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator, one Spirit Connection Realm cultivator, three Qi Sea Realm cultivators, five Martial Spring Realm cultivators, and one Body Forging Realm cultivator.

The way they left Moxu Mountain was by riding a shuttle-shaped artifact.

It wasn’t very fast, moving about thirty zhang through the air every second.

At this rate, in about half an incense stick’s time, his External Incarnation, transformed into Fang Yuan, would lose contact with his spiritual sense and become an empty, lifeless shell.

Or rather, a corpse.

Chen Yan planned to find a way for his Fang Yuan External Incarnation to die that wouldn’t seem abrupt or arouse suspicion.

When you’re out in the world, even as a cultivator, it’s hard to avoid unexpected accidents.

“One more thing.”

Before leaving the room, Chen Yan turned back and looked at Fang Yuan, who had fallen into unconsciousness:

“You must extract useful information from his mouth. I’m leaving this to you, Little Zhou.”

Zhou Jinyun was the chief disciple of Weaving Dreams Tower, and her talent in illusion techniques was quite outstanding.

She could certainly use illusions to extract useful information from Fang Yuan.

“And then? How do we handle this person?”

Zhou Jinyun asked.

Hearing this, Chen Yan paused slightly and said:

“You two decide.”

If things stopped here, then all leads regarding Mirage Palace would come to an abrupt end.

For history to complete its closed loop, by the time of the Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry, Zhou Jinyun had to become the Daomen Xingzou of Mirage Palace.

But right now, she couldn’t even return to Mirage Palace.

There were still five years left.

For Zhou Jinyun to become the Daomen Xingzou of Mirage Palace, she needed to make a breakthrough in the truth she was currently investigating.

It wasn’t just to have Zhou Jinyun recommend Su Hongzhen for the Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry; helping her become the Daomen Xingzou of Mirage Palace as soon as possible was also one of the reasons Chen Yan was providing her with assistance.

…

The flying shuttle gradually moved away from Moxu Mountain.

Huangfu Han sat at the very front of the shuttle, channeling his true qi to power the artifact.

“What do you think, Elder Huangfu? Will there be any that slip through the net?”

Zeng Qi, a mid-stage Spirit Connection Realm cultivator from Mirage Palace’s Ten Directions Tower, who was sitting slightly behind Huangfu Han, asked this question.

Zeng Qi was very worried about this matter.

According to the original plan, every single cultivator on Moxu Mountain had to be silenced.

The fact that something had already gone wrong with Pavilion Master Shen had put them in a very passive position.

If news of this were to leak as well, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Relax. We still have Grand Elder Jing.”

Elder Huangfu said:

“With Grand Elder Jing overseeing things, not even a fly can escape Moxu Mountain. They’ll all die inside.”

Upon hearing this, Zeng Qi nodded.

That was true.

Grand Elder Jing was a great power of the Upper Three Realms. A mere Moxu Mountain was certainly completely under his control.

He just needed to focus on doing his own part.

“Fang Yuan” sat near the middle-rear of the flying shuttle, listening to the conversation between Elder Huangfu and Zeng Qi.

The time was about right.

Suddenly, the flying shuttle began to tremble violently.

The face of Elder Huangfu, sitting at the very front, tightened:

“Not good. It’s spiritual energy turbulence. How could it suddenly appear around Moxu Mountain…”

Spiritual energy turbulence, under normal circumstances, only occurred in some extremely dangerous places on the Chenping Continent.

One could say it was extremely rare.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators below the Spirit Connection Realm would be in considerable danger when encountering spiritual energy turbulence.

Because their control over true qi wasn’t supplemented by powerful spiritual sense.

In such a situation, the true qi within their meridians could easily become uncontrollable, wildly rampaging and causing damage to their meridians.

In severe cases, they might even explode and die.

But the flow of natural spiritual energy around Moxu Mountain had always been gentle. How could it suddenly become like this?

There was no time to think about it.

Elder Huangfu raised his hand high and slapped it onto the flying shuttle. His innate true energy burst forth in all directions.

“Stop!”

He roared.
