Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

The best example is Qingchan Peak.

Of course, in the past, the power struggles on Qingchan Peak had not yet escalated to the extent they have today.

Only when Sword Master Elder Chu Chen, who was poor at political maneuvering and had a weak personality, Martial Elder Fu Qian, who was quite deep and ambitious for power, and True Dharma Elder Bai Qiming, who was crafty and unwilling to be subordinate to others, came together, did Qingchan Peak stage such a grand drama.

Including Chu Xiyao's position as Chief Disciple.

If Chu Xiyao had made any mistake before, Bai Qiming was ready at any time to push Qin Yue forward, to have her replace Chu Xiyao as the Chief Disciple of Qingchan Peak.

In past cycles of reincarnation, Bai Qiming had indeed succeeded.

But now, it is once again impossible.

Chu Xiyao's position as Chief Disciple is unshakably solid.

"I haven't returned to the sect for fifteen years."

Liu Yantang complained:

"This time, taking advantage of the Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent, I finally came back once, only to encounter this kind of thing."

That is indeed the case.

People have died at the Dao Inquiry Assembly before.

However, a Dao Inquirer from one of the Five Great Sects dying on Heavenly Summit Mountain in such an unclear manner is a first.

And it's not just that; since the first Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent was held, this is also the first time Heavenly Summit Mountain has been shrouded by a barrier.

After all, in the past, who would dare to provoke the Five Great Sects?

"Aunt-Master Liu, what differences do you see between the sect now and the sect fifteen years ago?"

Chen Yan tentatively asked.

"Fifteen years, what changes could there possibly be?"

Liu Yantang laughed:

"For a behemoth like the Kongshan Sect, unless another Immortal Ascension Realm great power emerges, even after another thousand years, the Kongshan Sect will still be exactly as it is today..."

Then, she paused briefly:

"Only, the places remain, but the people are gone."

That's right.

Cultivators have long lifespans, especially after reaching the Spirit Connection Realm.

The upper limit of a Qi Sea Realm cultivator's lifespan might be less than five hundred years.

But the lifespan of a Spirit Connection Realm cultivator starts at a thousand years.

A thousand years later, Fu Qian will still be Fu Qian, Zhong Yin will still be Zhong Yin, and Yun Yichen will still be Yun Yichen.

But within the sect, those with the most human vitality are the outer sect disciples and those inner sect disciples with relatively ordinary talent.

Over the course of this thousand years, they have long since been replaced, like wheat, crop after crop.

What does the Heavenly Summit Mountain incident matter? What does the outer court calamity matter?

The sect has never lacked people.

It doesn't lack useless outer court disciples, nor does it lack geniuses.

It's just the vicissitudes of time.

But for the Kongshan Sect, perhaps that is the case.

For Chen Yan, absolutely not.

Because he has died.

And not just once.

Longevity holds no attraction for Chen Yan.

Because the cycle of reincarnation he is currently trapped in is itself an alternative form of longevity.

The Daoyan Arena was buzzing with noise and excitement.

"Alright."

Liu Yantang stopped walking:

"I wish you a victorious start, Nephew Disciple Chen."

"Thank you, Aunt-Master."

Chen Yan said.

...

Chen Yan walked back to his seat on the viewing stand and sat down.

"Chief Disciple Chen, did Lin Personal Disciple have something to discuss with you?"

A cool, clear voice came from beside him.

It was Chu Xiyao.

"Yes, just some minor matters."

Chen Yan said.

"Are they related to Qin Yue?"

Chu Xiyao continued to ask.

"No."

Chen Yan replied. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In truth, he didn't know whether this outer sect disciple's death was connected to Qin Yue's death either.

Most of the truth was still hidden within the mist.

"Senior Sister Chu seems very concerned about Junior Sister Qin's matter."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiyao fell silent for a moment:

"That child... was actually quite pitiful."

As the Chief Disciple of Qingchan Peak, Chu Xiyao understood the conflict between the Qingchan True Dharma lineage and the Martial Discipline lineage all too well.

For Bai Qiming, Qin Yue was merely a tool.

In the more than a year since she entered the sect, everything Bai Qiming did was to have her catch up to Chu Xiyao.

And now, to die in such a manner...

If one had not cultivated the path of forgetting emotions, who wouldn't feel regret over her death?

"How is the situation on the arena platforms now?"

Chen Yan asked.

"A few more rounds have passed. Which platform number are you again?"

Chu Xiyao asked.

"Number seven."

Chen Yan answered.

"Right now on platform seven, the twentieth group's match is taking place."

The twentieth group?

He was in the twenty-first group, so wouldn't he be up next?

"So soon?"

Chen Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Especially the seventeenth group on platform seven, it ended the fastest."

Chu Xiyao said, she seemed to have a rather deep impression of that match:

"I remember, the winner of that match seemed to be from a sect called the Beiyuan Sect."

"Ye Xiu."

Chen Yan said.

"Yes, that's him."

Chu Xiyao appeared slightly puzzled:

"How do you know him?"

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Because he was the one who discovered Junior Sister Qin's body."

There's a problem.

He believed this disciple named Ye Xiu had significant issues.

Including Ye Xiu's attitude.

Even Chen Yan, honored as the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, when facing Chief Disciples of the other four great sects, would respectfully address those older than him as "Senior Brother" or "Senior Sister."

Those younger than him, he would still respectfully address as "Chief Disciple."

But Ye Xiu addressed him as "fellow Daoist."

When identities are unknown to each other, calling one another "fellow Daoist" is harmless.

But in that situation where they had already introduced themselves, for Ye Xiu to address Chen Yan as fellow Daoist, there is only one possibility—

Ye Xiu looks down on Chen Yan.

But he has no reason to look down on Chen Yan, because Chen Yan, prior to that, had shown Ye Xiu ample respect and fulfilled all etiquette.

Then this can only mean that Ye Xiu looks down on the Kongshan Sect.

Or even looks down on the Five Great Sects.

Just like during the outer court competition before, when Enforcement Hall Elder Song Wencheng of Kongyuan Mountain addressed Lin Qifeng not as Elder Lin, but as Lin Personal Disciple.

This is a form of transgression and contempt.

"Could it really be such a coincidence?"

Chu Xiyao said.

"Senior Sister Chu just mentioned, what happened with the seventeenth group?"

Chen Yan asked.

"Nothing particularly special."

Chu Xiyao answered:

"It's just that the gap between Ye Xiu and his opponent was truly too large."

"Is Ye Xiu very strong?"

Chen Yan continued to ask.

"I don't know, because his opponent was too weak."

Chu Xiyao said.

If Ye Xiu truly is very strong, then he, belonging to the same platform number seven, would likely encounter him on the arena platform.

He had even tricked him back at the teahouse on Xuanyuan Street.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but click his tongue.

Would he not be able to defeat him?

"Victory is decided!"

At that moment, an announcement voice came from the direction of platform seven:

"Platform seven, group twenty-one, Kongshan Sect, Kongyuan Mountain Chief Disciple Chen Yan!"

"Versus, Nandou Sect, Sect Eldest Senior Brother, Pu Yuanzhou!"
