Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 262: Another One

The oppressive sensation of spiritual energy weighed heavily on the heart of every cultivator atop Floating Light Summit.

The ability to directly manipulate spiritual energy was the fundamental difference between cultivators of the Upper Three Realms and those below the Unity Realm.

Just like during the Heavenly Summit Mountain Cataclysm seven years ago, when Chen Yan, with his Martial Spring Realm cultivation, derived and wielded that wisp of spiritual energy, he could easily pierce through He Furen’s innate true energy and kill Ye Xiu.

Now, Chen Yan’s cultivation had already reached the Passable God Realm.

Whether in terms of precision in controlling true qi or the sheer vastness of the true qi itself, compared to his Martial Spring Realm self, he was no longer on the same plane of existence.

The moment Chen Yan stood on the arena platform and revealed his vast spiritual energy, no one could doubt his cultivation level.

This was absolutely a cultivator of the Upper Three Realms.

The vast majority of people on Floating Light Summit, at this very moment, silently assumed that Chen Yan standing on the platform was a cultivator of the seventh realm, the Unity Realm.

Because Divine Ability Realm cultivators were far too rare. Looking across the entire Northern Region of Chenping Continent, including Wind Ravine Valley, the number of Divine Ability Realm cultivators was only around a dozen.

It could be said that each of these Divine Ability Realm great powers was renowned and illustrious.

But even a Unity Realm cultivator’s strength was absolutely not to be underestimated.

In a previous cycle of reincarnation, the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul, which caused the deaths of tens of thousands of outer sect disciples within seven breaths, possessed Unity Realm cultivation.

And that was merely the demonic aura pressure naturally released by the Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul in an unconscious state.

A true Unity Realm cultivator was far more powerful than an unconscious Black Flood Dragon Remnant Soul.

One must know that the successive sect leaders of the Five Great Sects were also all Unity Realm cultivators.

Therefore, the moment Chen Yan’s spiritual energy pressure dispersed across Floating Light Summit, the expressions of Chang Yongfeng and the five Daomen Xingzou, who were originally seated at the highest point of the viewing stand, all changed.

No one could have imagined that a Unity Realm great power would suddenly appear at the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry.

Moreover, the final champion of the inaugural Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry had actually been won by the sister of this Unity Realm cultivator.

It could be said they had stolen the limelight completely.

However, were the two standing in the arena platform really siblings?

According to historical records in Chenping Continent, the youngest Unity Realm cultivator was ninety-six years old.

That was the last master of the Heavenly Summit Palace, Qinghong Realman.

Even if measured against Qinghong Realman’s standard, the age difference between this so-called “brother and sister” pair would be a full ninety years.

Unless both of their parents were cultivators.

And considering the age gap between this “brother and sister,” their parents would at least need to be Qi Sea Realm cultivators for it to be possible.

In reality, in this world, cultivators above the Qi Sea Realm rarely formed Daoist couples.

For cultivators above the Qi Sea Realm, their long lifespans rendered the vast majority of love, familial affection, and friendship in this world utterly pale in comparison.

Matters of love and affection would only hinder the path of seeking immortality and inquiring into the Dao.

The heavens and earth were vast, allowing one to soar freely.

Only those with low cultivation, who could not advance further in this lifetime, would wallow in romantic entanglements all day long.

This kind of theory was very common within the cultivation world of Chenping Continent.

Of course, some cultivators did choose to have offspring, such as the current Sword Master Elder of Kongshan Sect’s Qingchan Peak, Chu Chen, or the Sect Leader of Biqiu Sect, Gongsun Kang.

But such people were ultimately a minority.

As for whether the relationship between Chen Yan and Si Youyou was truly that of siblings, it wasn’t important. The most important thing was that behind Si Youyou stood a great power of the Upper Three Realms backing her.

Chang Yongfeng remained seated steadily on the viewing stand.

Even though the cultivator standing in the arena possessed cultivation far above his own, being a cultivator of the Upper Three Realms, he still sat firm as a mountain.

Because he was a Peak Elder of Wind Ravine Valley, and also the host of this Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry.

Wind Ravine Valley was one of the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent. Its current Sect Leader, Feng Yinghua, was also at the Unity Realm. Above the Sect Leader, there were nearly forty Grand Elders, each with cultivation at or above the Unity Realm.

Furthermore, the current Supreme Pivot Elder of Wind Ravine Valley, Jiang Chao, was a Dao Union Realm powerhouse, one of the six pinnacles of the current era.

For Chang Yongfeng, who was at the Myriad Transformations Realm, Chen Yan standing on the platform might be a notable figure.

But for Wind Ravine Valley, which Chang Yongfeng represented, the weight of a mere Unity Realm cultivator was clearly not that significant.

“So it turns out Your Excellency is a cultivator of the Upper Three Realms. I, Chang, was presumptuous earlier.”

Chang Yongfeng, seated on the viewing stand, spoke.

“Elder Chang, you are too serious.”

Chen Yan placed his hands behind his back and retracted his aura.

As Chen Yan’s pressure dissipated, the cultivators gathered around the arena platform all felt the stagnant true qi in their meridians begin to flow smoothly again.

Chang Yongfeng no longer insisted on having Si Youyou join Wind Ravine Valley.

After all, her identity was not that of an ordinary rogue cultivator, but the “sister” of a Unity Realm great power.

On the viewing stand, Xiao Bo’an, sitting to the side, gazed towards the direction of the arena platform, slightly narrowing his eyes while the corners of his mouth curled up.

Soon, after roughly the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, the Nine Revolutions Chaos Heaven Tempering Meridian Pill was retrieved from Wind Ravine Valley and brought to Floating Light Summit.

That thumb-sized, shiny, pale golden pill lay quietly within a jade box held on a tray by a Wind Ravine Valley disciple.

“Your Excellency’s meridians are only slightly damaged. Presumably, they can be restored to their original state after a period of recuperation.”

Chang Yongfeng spoke:

“Since that is the case, does Your Excellency still only want this single pill, and not exchange it for something else?”

Having Wind Ravine Valley fulfill a wish was undoubtedly a rather attractive condition, even for a Unity Realm cultivator.

But Chen Yan merely shook his head:

“This is a token of my sister’s affection for me, so I will only take this pill.”

“Good!”

Chang Yongfeng nodded, then waved his hand towards the Wind Ravine Valley disciple holding the jade box, signaling him to present the Nine Revolutions Chaos Heaven Tempering Meridian Pill to Chen Yan standing on the arena platform.

Chen Yan took the jade box presented by the disciple. Originally, he intended to give a light flick of his sleeve to store it away in his storage magical instrument.

But he quickly remembered he didn’t possess a storage magical instrument. Then, an idea struck him, and he handed the jade box to Si Youyou.

Then, Chen Yan raised his hand again and gently patted Si Youyou’s little head, speaking softly:

“This is what you won.”

Si Youyou looked up at Chen Yan a couple of times. The emotion expressed in her eyes seemed to say, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

There was also a reason why Chen Yan ultimately chose this Nine Revolutions Chaos Heaven Tempering Meridian Pill instead of exchanging it for a wish.

The reason was that profound Clear Energy he had released back when he was at the Tomb of the Star-Paying Respects, fighting that giant Scorpion Demon, by deconstructing and deriving the Clear Rainbow of the Hidden Immortal Art.

There might be a time when he would need to use it again. Even though his current cultivation realm had broken through once more, reaching the Passable God Realm.

He still could not guarantee that, when activating that profound Clear Energy, it wouldn’t cause his own meridians to shatter again.
