Chapter 915 Reborn
"Fine, considering you beasts have accompanied me in my cultivation for hundreds of years, get out of here..."
Jing Yu waved his hand, signaling the sandworms to leave.
Several sandworms, as if granted a pardon, quickly burrowed into the sea of sand and disappeared.
Jing Yu took a deep breath and carefully sensed the changes in her physical body.
"After hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, and having exhausted countless rare and precious materials from the Zhong family's secret treasury, I have finally managed to cultivate the [Bitter Crossing Treasure Body] to the [Inner Realm]."
The blood river that blotted out the sun, the continuous mountain of bones, and the divine shrine that appeared in the world just now were all caused by Jing Yu manifesting his physical body as an inner landscape.
Each of the five viscera shrines enshrines a viscera deity, and each one possesses the combat power of an ordinary early-stage cave heaven. Once Jing Yu cultivates his body refinement realm to the mid-stage of the inner realm, these viscera deities will also be upgraded to the mid-stage of the cave heaven.
This means that Jing Yu always has five cultivators of the same level assisting him anytime, anywhere.
When the spirits of the internal organs reside within the viscera, they can nourish the five internal organs at all times, providing Jing Yu with a continuous source of physical strength, which is not much inferior to the power of the cave heaven in the [Foundation Foundation Elixir Path].
It can be said that Jing Yu can now traverse the void solely with his physical body and not worry about running out of true essence. In a sense, the spirits of the five internal organs have replaced the cave heaven as a backup energy source, continuously providing vitality, blood and other physical strength.
After carefully sensing the changes in his body and confirming that his physical foundation was completely solidified, Jing Yu flew away from the sea of sand and spent several hours returning to the Zhong family's residence.
Passing by the Zhong family's secret vault, they saw Zhong Yuanyi coming out of the vault holding a vault token, clearly having received some spiritual resources.
"Yuan Yi, what treasure did you receive?" Jing Yu asked with a smile as he descended into the distance.
Zhong Yuan saw Jing Yu, and with a start, his expression changed slightly. He thought to himself, "Goodness, here we go again?"
It's no wonder that Zhong Yuanyi had some psychological trauma from Jing Yu; after all, over the years, Jing Yu had almost completely swept away all the body-refining treasures in the Zhong family's secret vault.
I originally thought that the Zhong family was a powerful celestial force, with a large and wealthy family, so supporting a Nascent Soul cultivator would be more than a matter of course.
Little did anyone know that Jing Yu was like a glutton, consuming rare and precious materials at a terrifying speed. The body-refining treasures spent on Jing Yu over the years would probably be enough to create a body refiner at the Mahayana level!
The Zhong family is, after all, a newly established Celestial Immortal power that has only existed for a few thousand years. It cannot compare to the old Celestial Immortal lineages that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It is understandable that they feel a little pained to have Jing Yu create such a mess for them.
Jing Yu seemed to have noticed Zhong Yuanyi's embarrassment and smiled, "I came here to inform you that my body refining realm has reached the Cave Heaven level. Next, I will focus my energy on opening up the Cave Heaven within my body, and I will no longer need to come to the Zhong family's secret vault to retrieve rare body refining treasures."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuanyi inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, then said with lingering fear, "This is a good thing... No, what I mean is, you should quickly open up your cave world, this is a good thing."
"What are you doing?"
Zhong Yuan said, "Recently, I have refined my true essence to the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and am preparing to open up my inner cave heaven soon."
"Where is Brother Yuanqi?"
"Fifth Brother emerged from seclusion a few years ago and has now reached the Mahayana realm."
Zhong Yuanyi said, "His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Cave Heaven realm for many years, and he also gained some insights in the Jianghuai Heaven, so breaking through to the Mahayana realm was almost a natural progression."
“Zhong Yuanqi is also a Mahayana cultivator!” Jing Yu thought to herself.
Although the Zhong family had previously advanced to the Heavenly Immortal level, they were actually only maintaining their status by having Zhong Hedao, a sword cultivator at the early stage of Heavenly Immortal. The only Mahayana cultivator under their command was Zhong Yuanshen.
Now that Zhong Yuanqi has also advanced to the Mahayana stage, the Zhong family is visibly thriving, and Jing Yu is happy for them.
Zhong Yuanyi said, "I need to consult my father before I open up my cave heaven. Would you like to come with me?"
Jing Yu pondered and said, "I have been cultivating my body for hundreds of years and have been almost isolated from the world. It has been a long time since I have seen a Dao-Merging Immortal. I should indeed pay him a visit."
So the two of them simply walked side by side, riding two streaks of light to the place where Zhong Hedao was cultivating in seclusion.
Upon opening the door, one would find that in addition to Zhong Hedao holding a long sword, Zhong Yuanshen and Zhong Yuanqi were also present in the courtyard.
"Oh? Xuanjing has arrived?"
Zhong Hedao tilted his head and glanced at Jing Yu: "It's been a long time since I've seen you."
"I must also thank you for the unlimited supply of body-refining treasures, senior."
Jing Yu cupped his hands and said, "I have made some progress in refining my body using the Xuanjing technique, and now I am coming out of seclusion."
"Just right."
Zhong Hedao said, "I originally intended to contact you, but I didn't expect you to come with Yuan Yi, which saves me trouble."
"What are your instructions, senior?" Jing Yu asked, puzzled.
"No, but I have some news for you."
Zhong Hedao's expression turned solemn: "Don't reveal your talent."
Jing Yu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
The primordial spirit beside him added softly, "Xuanjing, your comprehension is unparalleled throughout history. Even among the many Golden Immortal lineages in the Third Heaven, you are an outstanding existence. Fortunately, you have kept your talents hidden and have not revealed them to anyone except us."
“We originally planned to make a name for you after you reached the [Cave Heaven Realm], and then send you to join a true immortal lineage, so that we wouldn’t have wasted your potential… But now it seems that this path is not feasible for the time being.”
"What do you mean?" Jing Yu asked.
"In recent centuries, many [reborn individuals] have appeared, specializing in hunting down the prodigies of various Dao lineages."
"A reborn person?" Jing Yu looked puzzled. "Is it the kind of reborn person I understand?"
Zhong Hedao's voice was deep: "These so-called 'reborn individuals' carry the memories of their previous lives, and have been reborn back to the 'past' to cultivate a new life."
"Some people are reborn back to their childhood, and more recently, they have been reborn back to [a few days ago]."
"It has been confirmed by important figures in the Celestial Court that these [Reborn] individuals are not truly reborn, but rather have had a false memory implanted into them."
"No one knows how these [Reborn] people came to be, nor does anyone know who stuffed that bundle of memories into their minds."
"The only common point is that these [reborn] individuals were almost all persecuted to death by certain people in their [previous lives]."
"In other words, they all have one or more enemies."
"Interestingly, these 'enemies' are all exceptionally talented individuals, unparalleled throughout the ages!"
"This is a premeditated hunt targeting all the geniuses of the Immortal Realm."
"To date, quite a few promising talents have been killed."
"Among them are even true disciples of the Golden Immortal faction!"
Jing Yu was incredulous: "Even the prodigies of the Golden Immortal realm weren't spared? As far as I know, prodigies of this level usually have a protector, right?"
Zhong Hedao said in a low voice, "The [Guardians] are not omnipotent. They can protect against external harm, but they cannot protect against the lovers of a prodigy... As far as I know, there was a prodigy who was killed by his Daoist partner."
