Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

Death Omen.

It was not the case that every person on the verge of death would show a Death Omen on their face.

Or rather, the vast majority of deaths in this world came without warning.

One moment full of vigor and life, the next moment death had already arrived.

Without the slightest premonition.

Only those great powers at the Immortal Ascension Realm and above who excelled at perceiving the ways of cause and effect and destiny, or the extremely rare Dao Union cultivators who possessed considerable talent for understanding heavenly mysteries and cause and effect, could discern a Death Omen.

Despite it being high noon, the terrifying pitch-black rift that blotted out the sky and stretched nearly a hundred thousand li plunged Du Cang Mountain into darkness all day long. Were it not for the many light sources across the mountain’s various building complexes, present-day Du Cang Mountain could be described as so dark you could not see your own hand in front of your face.

After the Great Chaos of the Immortals, as the snows of the former Heavenly Summit Mountain melted, the surrounding secular dynasties and human settlements were all swallowed by floods.

After the vast majority of the floodwaters receded, nations from even farther away began to cultivate and settle the lands surrounding Du Cang Mountain.

But as the pitch-black rift continued to expand, the entire area within a radius of a hundred thousand li centered on Du Cang Mountain had now completely fallen into eternal night. Plants deprived of sunlight ceased to grow, and livestock died in massive numbers due to loss of feed or other causes.Eternal night, for mortals and all manner of living beings in the world, was undoubtedly a catastrophe worthy of being called an ”overwhelming disaster.”

People’s daily rhythms began to fall into chaos, all kinds of supplies began to run short, and clothing, food, shelter, and transportation could not be satisfied in the slightest.

As a result, the secular dynasties descended into unending warfare, and refugees fled in droves toward farther places.

Migrating to places where sunlight still shone.

This migration had already begun roughly fifty years ago. However, as time passed, the pitch-black rift in the sky expanded faster and faster, and the speed at which the refugees fled and migrated toward distant lands gradually became slower than the speed at which the pitch-black rift in the sky expanded.

Countless refugees died on the roads of escape from the eternal night.

Cultivators must not interfere in mortal affairs. This was an established, unwritten rule that Chenping Continent had upheld ever since the Heavenly Summit Era.

But the current crisis facing Chenping Continent made it impossible for the cultivation world of Chenping Continent to continue enforcing this rule.

No matter how lofty cultivators might be, possessing the mighty power to treat human lives as weeds, they could never escape one fact.

And that was that the cultivation world was, in essence, built upon the support of countless living beings.

Chenping Continent spanned tens of millions of li in both directions, its lands vast and boundless. But if those secular dynasties were allowed to continue collapsing and falling into ruin because of the ”eternal night,” then no matter what the outcome of the Final Battle between the current Immortal Ascension cultivators of Chenping Continent and ”that existence” within the spatial rift might be, the cultivation world of Chenping Continent would inevitably suffer grievous damage from losing the support of countless living beings.

To that end, over a hundred cultivation sects led by the Five Great Sects dispatched more than seven thousand eight hundred large ferries capable of carrying tens of thousands of people each, as well as over three hundred giant ferries capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of people each, to transport all mortal commoners within a radius of two hundred thousand li around Du Cang Mountain who were willing to leave to faraway places.

Yet this could only alleviate the crisis for a time. To truly resolve all of this, at the very least, the continued expansion of the pitch-black rift in the sky had to be stopped.

Now, all the Immortal Ascension cultivators of Chenping Continent had gathered on Du Cang Mountain, preparing to face the coming Final Battle.

As for the affairs of the Five Great Sects, each was managed by their respective Grand Elders.

Although seven Dao Union cultivators had emerged from Chenping Continent over the past hundred years, these seven Dao Union cultivators ultimately possessed only cultivation realm and nothing else. They lacked sufficient experience, and they lacked sufficient standing to support them in presiding over their sects’ affairs.

The Sect Leader of the Kongshan Sect had also changed. Zhong Yin, the head disciple of the previous Kongshan Sect Leader Yun Yichen, had taken up the position of the current Sect Leader.

As for Yun Yichen, he now held the position of Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Imperial Law Elder, deliberating jointly with He Zongzhou, who served as the Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Martial Pacification Elder.

As for the position of Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Pivot Elder, it remained vacant to this day.

Following Li Haoran, the Kongshan Sect still had yet to produce a cultivator capable of assuming the position of the Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Pivot Elder.

That swordsman named Ling Lin, who had broken through to the Dao Union Realm a few decades ago and hailed from Yibai Peak, possessed a cultivation realm sufficient to assume the position of Supreme Pivot Elder, but whether in terms of experience or his connections and standing within the sect, he was still far too lacking.

Yun Yichen and He Zongzhou, these two great powers of the Divine Ability Realm who respectively oversaw the Supreme Imperial Law Court and the Supreme Martial Pacification Court, also had no intention of grooming Ling Lin to take up the position of Supreme Pivot Elder.

Now Yun Yichen’s cultivation realm had reached the peak of the Divine Ability Realm, and he had great hope of breaking through to the Dao Union Realm.

At present, most of the functions of the Supreme Pivot Court had already been taken over and managed by Yun Yichen on an interim basis. Once he broke through to the Dao Union Realm, he would assume the position of Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Pivot Elder.

If one day Ling Lin could become the Kongshan Sect’s fourth Immortal Ascension Realm Steward, then Yun Yichen and He Zongzhou would naturally do their utmost to assist him.

It was just that for now, he still had many things to learn.

Chen Yan did not overthink the gaze Mr. You had just cast toward him, because at this moment his attention was entirely focused on the pitch-black rift in the sky.

Although the pitch-black rift overhead had now expanded to roughly twice the size it had been when Heavenly Summit Mountain was destroyed back then, the Seven-Colored Flowing Gold Mystic Maiden Statue had still not appeared.

Chen Yan knew that ”that existence” within the spatial rift must have already sensed Chenping Continent, this world whose domain heavens’ laws had been damaged.

Yet it had delayed and made no move.

It was precisely this eerily extreme silence and stillness that made the cultivators of Chenping Continent feel even more uneasy.

The pitch-black rift in the sky continued to expand.

Just when would it descend?

Or was it that from the very beginning, his conjecture had been wrong?

If no enemy would emerge from the spatial rift, then what awaited Chenping Continent ahead was only that pitch-black rift continuing to tear open, until it reached the limit Chenping Continent could bear, the laws of heaven and earth completely collapsing, and this domain heaven itself turning into nothingness.

Was this not another kind of apocalypse?

It was even more powerless and despairing than the Seven-Colored Flowing Gold Mystic Maiden Statue descending into the world from the rift.

”Master.”

Chen Yan stepped forward, walking toward the area below the Myriad Laws Platform. As he passed by Mr. You’s side, he called out softly, signaling for Mr. You to follow him.
