I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World
Chapter 95 ·Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus, Immortal King, Hong Ting!
Inside the cave abode on Longevity Peak, the scene within the Haotian Mirror before Gu Yan continued to shift.
A fine show was currently unfolding within the mirror.
Somewhere in the Spirit Realm, two old Nascent Soul monsters were fighting fiercely over a thousand-year spiritual ganoderma. One sent out sword qi, the other unleashed a divine ability, shaking the mountains and splitting the earth with their battle.
Gu Yan watched with great interest.
Just as he was watching, his mind suddenly stirred.
A soul transmission crossed endless void and entered his sea of consciousness.
“Main body.”
It was Dragon Lord.
Gu Yan slightly raised his brows.
Dragon Lord, this self body, had always acted independently. If there were no important matter, he would not easily disturb him.
“What is it?”
“I discovered an object within an ancient secret realm. It is rather strange. I ask the main body to use the Haotian Mirror to deduce its origin.”
When Gu Yan heard this, his thoughts moved slightly, and his perception spread along the connection between main body and incarnation.
A moment later, he saw the scene on Dragon Lord’s side.
……
Spirit Realm, an ancient secret realm somewhere.
This was a strange space, with gray mist filling the surroundings.
Dragon Lord stood at the edge of a spiritual pool.
The pool was not large, only about three zhang square, and its water was clear to the bottom.
At the center of the pool grew a fiery red lotus, its petals layered one upon another, emitting a faint red glow.
The red lotus had an excellent appearance. At a glance, it was clearly no ordinary object.
But what truly made Dragon Lord stop was not the red lotus itself.
It was that within the lotus core, there lay a tiny infant.
The infant looked about the size of a newborn, fair and tender, limbs curled up, eyes closed, sleeping soundly.
Dragon Lord’s brows were tightly furrowed.
An infant growing on an unknown red lotus?
This was truly something he had never seen before.
Even stranger was that the infant emitted an extremely special fluctuation of spiritual energy.
That spiritual energy was incomparably pure, yet completely different from ordinary spiritual energy, carrying a kind of… flavor Dragon Lord could not describe.
Dragon Lord cautiously stepped one pace closer.
The infant seemed to sense something and suddenly opened its eyes.
A pair of bright black eyes looked straight at Dragon Lord.
Then, unexpectedly, it giggled.
The infant laughed.
It laughed with innocent purity, its brows curving, its tiny hands and feet waving a few times in the air, as though it had seen something interesting.
Dragon Lord: “……”
He stopped where he stood, his gaze fixed firmly on the infant.
The infant was not afraid of strangers at all. It just stared at him, laughing as it stared, occasionally blowing a bubble.
Dragon Lord pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
“Who are you?”
The infant looked at him and continued giggling.
Dragon Lord: “……Can you speak?”
The infant blew a bubble.
Dragon Lord: “……”
He confirmed it. Other than laughing, this infant could do nothing.
Yet the more this was so, the more vigilant he became.
An unknown red lotus, an infant that could neither speak nor do anything but laugh, and that special spiritual energy aura.
This thing was absolutely abnormal.
He raised his hand, attempting to use Divine Sense to probe the infant’s background.
But the moment his Divine Sense touched the red lotus, it was gently repelled by a soft force.
Dragon Lord’s brows furrowed even deeper.
With his current strength, there were not many things that could repel his Divine Sense.
He did not act rashly again, and instead directly contacted his main body through the soul.
……
Longevity Peak.
Gu Yan withdrew his perception.
He raised his hand, and the scene within the Haotian Mirror shifted, beginning to deduce the red lotus and infant Dragon Lord had seen.
A moment later.
Gu Yan was stunned.
Within the Haotian Mirror, the deduction result was crystal clear.
That infant was not a naturally born spiritual being, nor was it some spirit born from the red lotus.
It was the reincarnated body of an Immortal King from the Immortal Realm.
Its former-life title was Hong Ting.
An Immortal King Realm great power.
Gu Yan rubbed his brow and continued reading.
Hong Ting’s circumstances were somewhat similar to Feng Jiuge’s, yet also somewhat different.
Feng Jiuge had offended the Cang Emperor of the Immortal Court and been cast into reincarnation.
As for Hong Ting…
The Haotian Mirror showed that the one he offended was another terrifying existence of the same realm as the Cang Emperor.
The lord of the Nether Domain, Nether Emperor.
The Nether Domain was another supreme power within the Immortal Realm, standing in opposition to the Immortal Court, neither inferior to the other.
The Nether Emperor was the ruler of the Nether Domain, an existence at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Seeing this, Gu Yan felt endless complaints in his heart.
These Immortal Kings, one by one, why did they all love causing trouble so much?
Was it fun to offend someone a whole major realm above themselves?
He took a deep breath and continued looking.
After Hong Ting offended the Nether Emperor, he was personally killed by the Nether Emperor.
Though an Immortal King was strong, before an Immortal Emperor, it was still not enough.
But an Immortal King was ultimately still an Immortal King.
At the final moment, Hong Ting used a secret method to strip off a wisp of his soul and cast it into a red lotus he had long prepared.
That red lotus was called the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus, an incomparably heaven-defying treasure.
This lotus was something that appeared only once in countless hundreds of millions of years.
Not only could it produce Immortal Spiritual Energy,
it also possessed another heaven-defying function: it could preserve the soul and nurture it anew.
As long as the soul was not extinguished, one could use the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus to reconstruct the body, and once cultivation reached a sufficient level, recover the memories of the previous life.
Hong Ting had cast that wisp of soul into the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus, then used a great divine ability to send it into a secret realm somewhere in the Spirit Realm, waiting for rebirth.
As for why he chose the Spirit Realm,
Gu Yan guessed it was probably because the Spirit Realm was the highest-level existence among the mortal worlds, the closest to the Immortal Realm, and thus the most suitable place for rebirth.
After reading the deduction results, he remained silent for a long time.
This Hong Ting had come at just the right time.
Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus…
It could produce Immortal Spiritual Energy.
Gu Yan was now at the First Layer of Tribulation Crossing. If he continued cultivating step by step, breaking through to Human Immortal was only a matter of time.
But what about after reaching Human Immortal?
Ascend to the Immortal Realm?
He naturally wanted to go to the Immortal Realm, but not now.
Right now, in the mortal world, he was truly invincible.
But once he ascended to the Immortal Realm, it would be a completely different scene.
The Immortal Realm was filled with experts like clouds. There was no need to think to know that Human Immortals walked everywhere, and Earth Immortals were as common as dogs.
No matter how strong Gu Yan was, once he went to the Immortal Realm, he would only be a newcomer.
From dragon to tail of the phoenix?
That feeling would not be pleasant.
So what Gu Yan had always planned was to wait until his cultivation was high enough before ascending to the Immortal Realm.
And now, the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus had appeared.
This thing could produce Immortal Spiritual Energy!
Although the amount might not be great, innate spiritual energy paired with Immortal Spiritual Energy would be enough for him to walk some distance on the road above the Human Immortal Realm.
As for Hong Ting…
Gu Yan looked at the giggling infant in the Haotian Mirror and fell into thought.
Raise him for a while?
That was not impossible.
Gu Yan had also examined Hong Ting’s conduct in his former life through the Haotian Mirror.
This person acted openly and uprightly, never bullying the weak, and had an excellent reputation in the Immortal Realm.
The reason he had offended the Nether Emperor was because one of the Nether Kings under the Nether Emperor had slaughtered innocents and massacred several mortal worlds. Hong Ting could not stand it and acted to kill that Nether King.
Then he was targeted by the Nether Emperor.
A figure like this was worth taking in and nurturing into one of his own people.
However, to be safe, Gu Yan deduced once more to see whether in the future he and Hong Ting would turn against one another and become enemies.
Deduction result: no.
After recovering his memories, Hong Ting would remember Gu Yan’s grace in nurturing him and, in the future within the Immortal Realm, become one of Gu Yan’s most reliable enforcers.
Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
Then it was settled.
His thoughts moved slightly as he contacted Dragon Lord with his soul.
“Transmit that infant here together with the red lotus, using a soul secret method.”
Dragon Lord was silent for a moment, clearly somewhat surprised.
But he did not ask further.
Since the main body had spoken, the main body naturally had his reasons.
“Alright.”
……
Spirit Realm, inside the ancient secret realm.
Dragon Lord withdrew his thoughts and looked toward the red lotus in the middle of the spiritual pool, as well as the infant upon it.
The infant was still giggling, waving its tiny hands and feet, as though welcoming him.
Dragon Lord’s mouth twitched slightly.
This little thing probably still had no idea it was about to be packed up and transmitted away, right?
He raised his hand and formed hand seals.
A mysterious Dao rhythm emerged from his palm and slowly enveloped the entire red lotus.
The lotus trembled lightly, as though sensing something.
The infant’s laughter paused for an instant. Tilting its head, it looked toward Dragon Lord, a trace of confusion flashing through its eyes.
The next moment, light flashed.
The red lotus and the infant vanished together.
……
Southern Sea No. 73 Mortal World.
Longevity Peak.
The space before Gu Yan twisted slightly, and a flash of light appeared.
A fiery red lotus appeared out of nowhere and slowly descended before him.
Within the lotus, that fair and tender infant had its eyes wide open, curiously looking around.
When it saw Gu Yan, it froze for a moment.
But the next instant, it giggled again.
Its brows curved as it smiled, and saliva even flowed out.
Looking at the little thing, even the corner of Gu Yan’s mouth could not help but lift slightly.
“It really is quite adorable.”
He raised his hand and lightly touched the infant’s forehead.
A strand of divine thought entered the infant’s sea of consciousness.
“From today onward, you shall be called… forget it, you can choose your own name later.”
“I’ll raise you first. When you grow up, we can speak of other things.”
The infant seemed to understand and yet not understand, still giggling all the same.
Gu Yan withdrew his hand and looked toward the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus.
Immortal Spiritual Energy…
A good thing indeed.
