Chapter 310: Hundred Generations of Reincarnation (Modified, take another look!)

Three days later.

Litian Holy City, City Lord Mansion.

Eight figures stood within, with Huangli standing to one side.

At this moment, their expressions were all somewhat... peculiar.

"What news have you received?" Lihuo Chengzhuj spoke, looking at the group.

"I dispatched the Lieqiong Squad deep into the Tianmen Kingdom.

The Tianmen Kingdom is now in shambles, with the corpses of the Blood Clan everywhere.

The Blood Prince of the Tianmen Kingdom is suspected to have fallen."

Mentioning this, Lie Cang's eyes held deep shock.

Near his Holy City, the most powerful entity was the Blood Prince of the Tianmen Kingdom; that Prince was a Middle Stage Prince.

Such a powerful Blood Prince had actually been killed in battle.

"The regions where Fengli, Luopo, Tiqiu... and other Princes were located near the Holy City have all been reduced to ashes.

My subordinates are still investigating."

"Same here; the news I received is that at least four Prince kingdoms near the Holy City have been destroyed."

Many City Lords spoke all at once, their voices trembling.

Each of these powerful Blood Clan kingdoms had lasted for over several thousand years.

The destruction of just one would be enough to shock the North Heaven Domain, yet now... at least dozens had been destroyed.

"Three months of time..." one City Lord smiled, "we really are."

"It seems what Senior Xu Ling said is true."

"Even if it were a conspiracy, the price to be paid for this conspiracy is too great."

"I even suspect, did we discuss this for more than three months, or three hundred years?"

The crowd was filled with wonder.

The sword hanging over their heads had just vanished like that.

"Alright, since we have already obtained the results, let us not waste time discussing it further.

Being shocked all day long, what kind of decorum is that?

We are, after all, City Lords of the Holy City."

Lihuo mentioned this, his face deliberately showing a look of disdain.

It was as if he were saying, you little things, you're shocked by this?

"Now, Senior Xu Ling is in a hurry to go to other domains; the Blood Crystals of the North Heaven Domain are no longer enough for the Senior to use.

We must perform a Holy Spirit Baptism for the Senior to improve his strength."

Lihuo Chengzhuj entered the main topic.

"No problem, in two hours, I will arrive at Litian Holy City."

"Me too."

"One hour."

Many City Lords spoke; they decided to perform the Holy Spirit Baptism for Senior Xu Ling.

After all, Senior Xu Ling's strength was far too powerful.

It could be said without shame that Xu Ling was the hope of the Human Race.

Sweeping through the North Heaven Domain's Blood Clan in three months—no human had ever been able to do that.

The current Xu Ling, looking across the Twenty-one Domains, was an absolute powerhouse.

However, compared to the powerful forces of the Blood Clan, this was still far from enough.

The Blood Clan also possessed many top-tier powerhouses.

If they were to unite, Senior Xu Ling's days would not be easy.

Therefore, performing the Holy Spirit Baptism for Xu Ling was very necessary.

Half a day later.

Inside the Commander Mansion.

Lihuo and the other City Lords stood at the side of Xu Ling.

These City Lords were the very top handful of people in the North Heaven Domain.

At this moment, standing beside Lin Chao, they had no airs.

"Holy Spirit Baptism?" Lin Chao looked at Lihuo, his gaze calm.

"Senior, the Human Race is limited by the body and cannot break through to the Eighth Rank.

We City Lords are only able to break through these boundaries by receiving the Holy Spirit Baptism.

Now, Senior is the hope for the rise of the Human Race; we are willing to contribute our meager strength to you!"

Lihuo Chengzhuj's gaze was solemn.

"We are willing to lend Senior a helping hand!" All the City Lords bowed solemnly at this moment.

Lin Chao's gaze was complex: "The Holy Spirit... what exactly is it?"

He was somewhat curious.

Why could the Holy Spirit Baptism improve one's strength?

"The Holy Spirit... according to our speculation, is the remnant soul left behind by the heroic spirits of the Human Race.

Senior, have you heard of the Azure Army?" Lihuo Chengzhuj asked.

"I have." Lin Chao nodded; he had heard of the Azure Army many times from the mouths of the Blood Clan.

"The Human Race of this world has existed for nearly a million years," Lihuo Chengzhuj began, his gaze desolate, "yet, a million years ago, in the endless ages before, ancient humans also existed in this world."

"The Saint Spirits are suspected to be the ancient humans, the heroic souls of the Azure Army."

These secrets of the ancients are known only to these City Lords.

This, too, has been slowly accumulated over so many years.

Lin Chao's gaze was solemn.

He suddenly remembered the woman he met when he first reincarnated into this world.

That woman once said that this place was an Ancient Battlefield.

According to Lihuo Chengzhuj's words, it is very likely that these Saint Spirits and the Azure Army can be traced back to ancient times.

Which is to say, before he had even reincarnated into this world.

These years are somewhat old.

A million years?

Ten million years?

Or even hundreds of millions of years ago?

"Senior, please follow us into the City Lord Mansion; we shall perform the Holy Spirit Baptism for you," Lihuo Chengzhuj said with a solemn gaze.

"This Holy Spirit Baptism, it has some effect on you all as well, right?" Lin Chao mentioned casually.

"Some effect, but not much."

"Nowadays, the Blood Princes of the North Heaven Domain have almost all fallen; we have no powerful enemies in the North Heaven Domain."

"Good." Lin Chao's gaze was profound.

Then he would try this Holy Spirit Baptism.

Firstly, he also wanted to know what this so-called Holy Spirit Baptism was.

Secondly, increasing his strength had always been what he pursued.

Lin Chao followed the many City Lords into the City Lord Mansion.

Inside the vast Palace, the eight City Lords, along with Huangli, sat cross-legged all around.

In the very center was a prayer mat, and Lin Chao sat down upon it.

"Please close your eyes, Senior," Lihuo Chengzhuj said.

Lin Chao closed his eyes and waited with peace of mind.

He was not afraid of any conspiracy.

Even if there were one, he could handle it with his strength.

"Saint Spirits, arise." At this moment, Lihuo Chengzhuj spoke.

"Saint Spirits, arise."

The other City Lords spoke one after another as well.

Within their bodies, a beam of light and shadow appeared.

An aura that was ancient, profound, and vast permeated the air.

For some reason, upon sensing this information, Lin Chao felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Now, these Saint Spirits approached Lin Chao.

Countless friendly auras came over, and Lin Chao felt the Innate Power within his body circulating rapidly.

His strength was climbing continuously.

Having consumed many Blood Crystals from the North Heaven Domain, Lin Chao's strength had already gone very far within the Mid-Level God Realm.

By devouring the remaining Blood Crystals, he would be only one step away from the Upper-Level God Realm.

Now, undergoing the Holy Spirit Baptism, the rise in his strength was actually no less than devouring over a hundred Blood Crystals from Blood Princes.

It was even far greater.

Moreover, this rise in strength did not come from a breakthrough in his cultivation technique, but from his Innate Power becoming more solidified.

This surprised Lin Chao.

These Saint Spirits... seemed to go very well with Innate Power.

Inexplicably, Lin Chao thought of the Innate God.

Could it be... that the two had a special connection?

Just then, however, a sigh of helplessness sounded in Lin Chao's ear.

In Lin Chao's mind, countless images suddenly appeared.

A familiar voice also sounded again at this moment.

"This?"

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He had not expected that such a scene would appear during this Holy Spirit Baptism.

The voice in his ear was unmistakably the voice of the Reincarnation Simulator.

And the images before his eyes were also exactly the same as what he had experienced when he reincarnated as Heize.

Could it be...

【The Netherworld is one of the Ten Lands, where humans, demons, monsters, and Evil Spirits coexist.】

【The Human Race is in decline, resisting the monsters, demons, and Evil Spirits with their own strength.】

【In the 700th year of the Ancient Emperor Era, the Human-Monster War resulted in the defeat of the Human Race, ceding seven provinces of land to the Monster Race.】

【The citizens of the seven provinces all fell into the hands of the Monster Race.】

【The Human Race lost seven provinces, leaving only ninety-three, and the arrogance of the Monster Race grew even stronger.】

At that time, the Ancient Emperor sought immortality and widely recruited alchemists from across the world, wishing to refine an Immortality Pill.】

【0 years old: You were born in a dilapidated village, and your mother died in difficult labor.

Your father named you... Ling Xuan.】

【2 years old: An Evil Spirit caused mischief, and your father was drowned in a water vat.

A wandering Daoist passed through the village and took you away.】

【5 years old: You finally learned to read, and the wandering Daoist was in a good mood, so he took you as his disciple and taught you a breathing technique.】

【11 years old: The old Daoist took you to travel the world, slaying demons and eliminating monsters.

Because the old Daoist slew too many of the Demon Race, the Human Race imperial court dispatched experts to hunt him down.

You and the old Daoist were constantly hiding.

At a temple in the clouds, you found a little girl of seven or eight years old.

The old Daoist named her Yunying and took her as a disciple; you gained a junior sister.】

【13 years old: The old Daoist was slain by imperial court experts, and you fled continuously with your junior sister.】

【15 years old: Seeing a waterfall cascading down, you gained insight into the momentum of Water and comprehended a fist technique.】

【17 years old: You traveled the world with your junior sister Yunying, slaying demons and eliminating monsters, inheriting your master's dying wish.】

【20 years old: You slew a bear demon, and during the battle, you comprehended a set of palm techniques.】

【30 years old: You became famous, and the Black Mountain Stronghold invited you to join them to resist the Demon Race together.

Black Mountain Stronghold is located in Weizhou and is the most powerful force in Weizhou.

You thought about it and joined the Black Mountain Stronghold.】

【32 years old: During an expedition to slay the Demon Race, you saw the strength of the Human Race soldiers and their high morale; feeling moved, you comprehended a powerful technique that can stimulate morale.】

【37 years old: The Black Mountain Stronghold defeated a Demon Race army and broke the siege of Weizhou.】

【43 years old: Your strength grew increasingly stronger, and your prestige within the Black Mountain Stronghold became second only to the ten leaders.】

【72 years old: The tenth leader died in battle, and you became the tenth leader of the Black Mountain Stronghold.】

【120 years old: You snuck into the imperial capital to avenge the old Daoist and slew the imperial court expert from back then.】

【170 years old: The reputation of the Black Mountain Stronghold grew, and it became one of the Ten Great Rebel Armies.】

【190 years old: An Evil Spirit caused mischief, and you were ordered to go out and resolve it.

You slew the Evil Spirit that had defiled a village.

This Evil Spirit was an offspring of the Evil Spirit Royal Family.】

【192 years old: An Evil Spirit royal was furious and dispatched experts to enter the Black Mountain Stronghold, wishing to annihilate it.

The Evil Spirit experts charged into Weizhou, and a great battle began; the Black Mountain Stronghold suffered heavy casualties, with less than three in ten remaining.

During the battle, your junior sister Yunying blocked a sword for you and was in critical condition; you were also severely injured.

However, the Black Mountain Stronghold still slaughtered all the Evil Spirit experts.】

【193 years old: The Black Mountain Stronghold suffered heavy losses, and in order to obtain healing medicine, you went to the provincial capital to borrow medicine from the provincial governor.

The provincial governor made things difficult in every way, but you eventually borrowed some medicine.】

【200 years old: People came from the imperial capital, wishing to incorporate the Black Mountain Stronghold.

The members of the stronghold had different thoughts.

Considering that many brothers were still severely injured and not yet recovered, you did not reject the first leader's proposal.】

【205 years old: The Black Mountain Stronghold was reorganized into the Azure Army.】

【207 years old: Seeing stars falling, you felt moved and created the Star Body Refining Art.

You taught this technique to your troops, and their strength improved.】

【208 years old: The Ninth Prince inspected the Azure Army and discovered that your junior sister Yunying was actually the Eighteenth Princess who had been wandering the streets.

Yunying was taken to the imperial capital.

At the moment of parting, Yunying held your arm, her eyes full of reluctance.】

【251 years old: The first leader was injured and fell, and you became the Grand Commander of the Azure Army.】

【342 years old: The Star Body Refining Art enhanced the strength of the Azure Army in all aspects.

The Azure Army became the most powerful army of the Ancient Imperial Dynasty.

No Demon Race dared to invade Weizhou, where the Azure Army was stationed.】

【463 years old: It was the Ancient Emperor's birthday, and you went to the capital to offer congratulations.

The Ancient Emperor rewarded you with an Inner Nourishing Life Pill, and you comprehended the Reincarnation Method.】

【1001 years old: You defeated the Demon Race's offensive once again.

Among the Human Race, your prestige was extremely high, and many Human Race experts joined the Azure Army just to drive the Demon Race out of Human Race territory.】

【1240 years old: You defeated the Demon Race army again and prepared to take advantage of the momentum to recover the seven lost provinces.

The imperial capital issued twenty-seven military orders in a row to stop you, and the Military cut off the Azure Army's supplies, forcing you to withdraw your troops.

You were incomparably disappointed in your heart, yet you were helpless.】

【1250 years old: The Evil Spirits sent out troops, and the three eastern provinces fell.】

【1270 years old: The Ancient Emperor wished to negotiate peace with the Demon Race.

The imperial dynasty was going to have a princess marry into the Demon Race for peace.

You received this news and remained silent for a long time.】

【1280 years old: News came from the imperial capital that the Eighteenth Princess Yunying would be married off to the Demon Race.

You received this news, and your heart was incomparably disappointed.】

【1290 years old: The Ancient Emperor ordered you to lead thirty thousand personal troops to escort the princess to marry into the Demon Court.】

The world shook, and countless powerhouses of the Human Race were enraged.

Someone came from the Imperial Capital; a court official said: The General should prioritize the big picture.

He mentioned that now that the Evil Spirit have also dispatched troops, the Human Race is facing enemies on two fronts and cannot afford to wage war against the Demon Race again, otherwise there is a sense that the Imperial Court will fall.

You looked at the person who came from the court, and secretly made a decision in your heart.】

【1293 years old: You met your junior sister Yunying; she looked at you, her eyes appearing like a pool of Water.】

【1297 years old: You escorted Yunying deep into the heart of the Demon Court.

Just as you entered the Demon Court, sounds of battle suddenly erupted all around.

It turned out that this marriage alliance was a conspiracy.

The Ancient Emperor had long since reached an agreement with the Demon Race for you to lead the Azure Army deep into the Demon Race's territory.

When the time came, the Demon Race would strike and annihilate you.

The marriage alliance was fake; killing you was the truth.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Your eyes were cold and stern, your face like frost.

Yunying looked at you, her eyes filled with guilt and disappointment.

Numerous experts of the Demon Race charged to Slay you.

You remained calm and composed; in fact, you had already anticipated this trap.

Surrounded by many Demon Race experts, you unexpectedly displayed strength even greater than the rumors, broke through ten thousand troops, and captured the Demon Emperor alive.

You held the Demon Emperor hostage, forcing the Demon Race to stop their offensive.】

【1300 years old: Holding the Demon Emperor hostage, you led thirty thousand of your personal troops back to the Human Race territory.】

【1301 years old: You rebelled.】

【1310 years old: You led your army into the Imperial Capital, Slayed the Ancient Emperor, and severed the Ancient Emperor's hope for immortality.

Inside the Ancient Emperor's alchemy furnace, you saw the pill the Ancient Emperor had always longed to refine... the Longevity Pill.

You looked at the Longevity Pill, and the Reincarnation Method was perfected once more.】
