A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1308: Jin Tong’s Past Life

"Sorry about that," Violet Spirit apologized in an embarrassed manner.

"It's fine. How do you feel?" Han Li asked.

A slightly dejected look appeared on Violet Spirit's face in response to his question, and only upon seeing this did he notice that her cultivation base had plummeted from the pinnacle of the High Zenith Stage back down to the mid-High Zenith Stage.

"Your cultivation base!" he exclaimed.

"It's fine," Violet Spirit said with a shake of her head, and she didn't appear overly surprised by this outcome.

"Her cultivation base was forcibly elevated, so her foundation wasn't very stable. Hence, it's no surprise that she's lost some ground after taking a trip through the cycle of reincarnation," the Reincarnation Palace Master said.

Han Li cast an inquisitive gaze toward Violet Spirit upon hearing this, and she explained through voice transmission, "Daoist Xie used a secret technique to strip cultivators using similar cultivation arts to ours of their law powers before forcibly injecting those law powers into our bodies. That's how Shi Chuankong and I were able to make such significant strides in our cultivation. Hence, this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Han Li nodded in response, but at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder exactly what past memories she had seen through the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate. Whatever she had seen, it had to have had quite a profound effect on her to cause this drop in her cultivation base.

"Who's next?" the Reincarnation Palace Master asked.

"I'll pass this time," Shi Chuankong said with slightly furrowed brows.

Han Li knew that Shi Chuankong's cultivation base had been elevated through the same illegitimate means as Violet Spirit, so he cautioned through voice transmission, "Brother Shi, I know that both you and Violet Spirit had your cultivation bases enhanced through the same method.

“With such an unstable foundation, your future cultivation could be compromised, so I don't think it's a bad idea for you to take this opportunity to consolidate your foundation, even if it means losing some cultivation base in the short term."

"If I accept a regression in my cultivation base now, who knows when I'll be able to return to the Great Encompassment Stage? Daoist Xie has told me that as long as I continue to work hard in my cultivation, I'll be able to gradually consolidate my newfound cultivation base over time, so that's what I plan to do."

Han Li made no further attempt at persuasion after hearing this.

"It looks like I'm the only one left then," Jin Tong said.

"You are the one who's most justified in using the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate out of everyone here," the Reincarnation Palace Master remarked.

Jin Tong wasted no time with words as she waded into the pond in an excited manner, and before long, she had also slipped into an unconscious state.

All of a sudden, she erupted out of the water with a loud gasp, only to discover that she was hovering in the air above a turbulent sea.

Immediately thereafter, she heard a thunderous, rumbling noise, and it was as if the entire surrounding space were about to be shaken apart.

Even though there were no true shockwaves sweeping toward her, she was still left feeling a little shaken and dazed.

Right at this moment, a cold and authoritative voice rang out in the heavens above like rumbling thunder.

"There's nowhere left for you to run, Qu Lin! If you continue to refuse to surrender, then you will be erased from existence!"

Jin Tong's ears were ringing from the deafening sound, and she hurriedly looked up to discover a gargantuan man standing several hundred kilometers away.

The man's entire body was as green and translucent as jade, and he stood hundreds of thousands of feet tall.

He had a head of short hair and a body of rippling muscle, while behind him was a yellow halo that was giving off a fiery glow, as well as bursts of earth law power fluctuations more formidable than any Jin Tong had ever felt before.

Looking at the gargantuan figure from afar, she was struck by the feeling that was staring at an almighty, ancient deity, one that possessed the power of all of the mountains under the heavens combined.

Is that a Dao Ancestor?

Jin Tong felt as if she had been plunged into a glacial pit, and for the first time in her existence, she learned what true pressure felt like. However, as opposed to evoking any fear, this sense of pressure only pushed her into an enraged state.

Right at this moment, a goading voice rang out from the other side of the sea.

"Come get me, Xuanyuan Jie! Try as you might, you'll never get me to submit to your Heavenly Court! If you didn't have all these pesky flies to hide behind, I would've already eaten you up like a snack!"

Jin Tong hurriedly cast her gaze in the direction that the voice was coming from, and right as she did so, the surface of the sea there bulged as an enormous entity rose up from the depths, raising gargantuan waves hundreds of thousands of feet tall.

Jin Tong was swept up by the massive waves, and she hurriedly rose up to a higher altitude.

From there, she was greeted by an astonishing sight.

As it turned out, what she had thought to have been the sea was actually a lost continent that was drifting through space, and the edges of the continent were very jagged and uneven, clearly indicating that it had been broken off by force.

All that remained of the clouds in the sky was a thin layer, and beyond that was a boundless, pitch-black space with thousands of powerful Heavenly Court cultivators littered throughout, all of whom were giving off tremendous earth law power fluctuations.

There was a layer of azure light around all of them, forming a gargantuan city in the heavens that looked as if it had been chiseled out a single, colossal piece of jade.

There were hundreds of incredibly thick chains hanging down outside the four sets of city gates, and they trailed all the way down to the broken continent below to connect it to the jade city.

This was an unfathomably powerful subjugation array, and it had clearly been set up as part of a meticulous plan.

Right at this moment, bursts of thunderous rumbling came ringing out incessantly from the continent down below, and the giant bulge that had emerged over the surface of the sea began to turn extremely murky.

At the same time, a series of enormous cracks began to appear on the edges of the broken continent, and it began to disintegrate bit by bit.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as the continent finally completely shattered, and a golden beetle that was over a hundred thousand feet in size burst out of the giant bulge in the sea.

Its six golden wings were flapping incessantly, sending almighty whirlwinds sweeping through the air in all directions.

Jin Tong was immediately able to tell that this golden beetle was also a Gold Devouring Beetle, just like herself, but it possessed the cultivation base of a Dao Ancestor.

However, at the moment, the Gold Devouring Immortal's golden exoskeleton was severely ravaged and broken, and large chunks of its wings were missing. At the same time, enormous, jade chains were wound around all parts of its body, and they were the very same chains hanging down from the city above.

As soon as the golden beetle appeared, the chains hanging down from the jade city in the sky instantly stretched taut, and the entire city began to descend upon it.

At the same time, the azure giant by the name of Xuanyuan Jie stepped forward and raised a fist, and bands of green light converged from all directions, forming an enormous, green vortex that came crashing down upon the golden beetle.

The golden beetle remained completely unfazed as it rose up in a fearless manner to bite down onto Xuanyuan Jie's gargantuan fist.

A loud crack rang out as half of Xuanyuan Jie's arm exploded violently, and the jade chains bound to the golden beetle's body clattered and rattled incessantly from the resulting shockwaves.

At the same time, the jade city finally fell upon the golden beetle, upon which it began to glow with blinding, azure radiance.

The golden light around the golden beetle's body exploded, and countless golden scraps began peeling rapidly off its body like scraps of paint from an old and dilapidated wall, presenting a miserable sight to behold.

"Xuanyuan Jie, you're dreaming if you think you can claim my body! The day I return to the Heavenly Court is the day that you and those six other scoundrels meet your collective demise!"the golden beetle chortled as a burst of blinding, golden light appeared over its body, and a burst of incredibly fearsome shockwaves erupted in all directions.

A series of cracks appeared over the surface of the jade city as the almighty, golden shockwaves swept over it, and the hundreds of Heavenly Court cultivators within the city instantly perished as their bodies exploded into countless pieces.

"You're not getting away!" Xuanyuan Jie roared.

At this point, his destroyed arm had already fully regenerated, and he raised both hands to conjure up a huge, green net that encompassed the vast expanse of golden light.

Right at this moment, a tall and elegant woman appeared within the golden light, then raised her hands to the heavens before bringing them apart, tearing open the giant net and the jade city above.

Even the broken sky was parted by her almighty power, creating a gargantuan spatial rift.

Countless tiny rays of light that held swarms of infantile Gold Devouring Beetles surged into the spatial rift like a golden river, where they were then scattered in all directions by the spatial turbulence within the rift.

These beetles were like dandelion seeds, and no one knew where they were going to drift to.

Jin Tong could feel her own blood boiling in her veins as she witnessed this sobering scene. Only now had she come to learn that her previous incarnation had been forced to detonate her own body and scatter herself across the realms as individual swarms of Gold Devouring Beetles.

After the final ray of golden light faded away, the projection of the woman also began to gradually fade.

In a fit of fury, Xuanyuan Jie threw an almighty punch, unleashing a burst of unfathomably vast power that completely dashed the projection of the woman into smithereens.

The residual specks of golden light drifted down from the heavens on to Jin Tong before finally completely fading away.

Having just witnessed the tragic and unjust fate that had befallen her previous incarnation, Jin Tong was unable to contain her rage as she sped directly toward Xuanyuan Jie as a streak of golden light.

However, the space up ahead suddenly began to ripple and warp, and she flew headfirst into it, following which the entire world began to spin around her in an indistinguishable blur.

By the time she returned to her senses, she found herself floating face-up in the pond, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate above had come to a rest.
