Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 59 Transformation of Mind and Nature, Introduction to Reincarnation

The Nine Swords Venerable keenly noticed that Lin Yi beside him had disappeared.

"You've exited the virtual universe and left?"

"Lin Yi is really strange."

Next to the Chaos City Lord's Mansion is Lin Yi's Palace.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the palace rooftop with his eyes closed, his consciousness and soul completely emptied...

His mental strength cultivation was approaching the second level, and watching this genius battle had a profound impact on him.

Say those geniuses have lofty ambitions or whatever,

Ignorance is bliss,

Their high morale greatly benefited Lin Yi.

So, there's another way to walk the road...!

"Phew! My mental burden is too heavy, too heavy!"

"Always looking ahead and behind, always worrying about gains and losses!"

"Always view everything from a God's-eye view, and weigh the pros and cons in everything you do!"

"This makes my steps relatively smooth, but it's not suitable for cultivation. Cultivation requires relentless effort and progress!"

Lin Yi felt a sudden sense of enlightenment, and his spirit and will began to transform.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, strands of emerald green threads appeared out of thin air and flowed within it, causing Lin Yi's spirit, soul, and will to rise at an astonishing speed.

As Lin Yi's mental state improved and he entered the realm of mental power, the secret manual "The Reincarnation Sword Scripture," which manifests as a golden card, gradually revealed its amazing side.

Time passed...

Emerald green threads flowed and intertwined within his sea of ​​consciousness...

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt his sea of ​​consciousness surge, followed by a tremendous tremor.

Boom!

Countless emerald green threads exploded and shattered, then reformed, and in an instant, an emerald green crystal core brimming with life appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment the crystal core appeared, Lin Yi felt a sublimation of the essence of life...

At the center of the primordial force star field in the dantian, a sudden collapse began, and a miniature black hole appeared.

With enhanced mental strength, advanced life, and breakthrough to the realm master level, everything will fall into place naturally!

……

Virtual universe, killing space.

"Scene simulation: a black hole in the starry sky!"

At Lin Yi's command, his auxiliary AI quickly sent a request to the Killing Space System. The scene within the Killing Space instantly switched, transforming into a vast starry sky. Within the starry sky, black holes were randomly distributed, exuding gravitational pull and devouring everything, including light.

Lin Yi, carrying a golden battle sword and wearing battle boots, floated in the cosmic sky, gazing at a small asteroid not far ahead.

"With a shift in sword intent, cleave the star!" Lin Yi shouted, and the golden battle sword on his back appeared in his hand.

Then, a large number of fiery red threads began to emanate from the golden sword. The dense red threads gathered together and formed a dazzling sword light directly in front of Lin Yi.

"go!"

Lin Yi pointed his golden sword at a small asteroid ahead. Then, a dazzling, fiery red sword light, like a streak of light, pierced through the dark starry sky and struck the asteroid with tremendous force.

Rumble!

With a series of deafening roars, the mountains on the asteroid shattered, and the seawater overflowed, creating an apocalyptic scene.

"good!"

Lin Yi gazed at the asteroid in the distance, which resembled an apocalyptic scene, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. "At the second level of mental power, the sword intent of the 'Reincarnation Sword Manual,' though only at the first stage, possesses immense power. Even an immortal military lord would find it difficult to withstand this attack!"

This was just a casual strike from him, yet it threatened the military lord's immortality!

"With just one turn, the amplification of his body and sword intent reached 10 times!"

The Samsara Sword Manual encompasses all aspects of swordsmanship. Even at the basic level of Heart Sword and Sword Intent, it can increase Lin Yi's physical body and sword intent amplitude by 10 times!

This is amplitude, not a multiple of force exertion. It's the kind of amplitude that can only be increased through inheritance like that of the Frost God General in the original work. It's a dual enhancement of body, soul, and sword intent.

This is only the basic stage of the Heart Sword and Sword Intent.

Then the sword intent merged, the sword intent became dominant, and the sword path reincarnated...

Each stage is a major stratum, a stratum capable of blocking countless exceptionally talented and powerful individuals.

The "Sword Manual of Reincarnation" truly lives up to its reputation as a tool that allows cultivators to fuse their mental energy with countless sword intents, thereby cultivating the Sword Intent of Reincarnation.

With a single sword strike,

And thus, reincarnation is complete!

It is the pinnacle of the path that transcends ordinary primordial life!

After several years, Lin Yi has finally mastered the secret manual of the gold card extracted from Earth!

……

Inside one of the nine-story towers in Chaos City.

The vast majority of residences in Chaos City are identical, while some special buildings... represent a special status.

The seventh floor of the nine-story tower.

A woman shrouded in a black veil sat cross-legged on the ground. Her lower body was a huge snake tail, which coiled and lay on the ground. Her face was indistinct and could not be seen clearly, but her eyes were as bright as stars, as if they contained a dazzling galaxy, which was mesmerizing.

"Zhenyan, what brings you here?" A hoarse voice came from the snake-tailed woman.

"Haha, I had nothing to do, so I chatted with an old friend."

A burly ape-man, dressed in golden armor and with golden fur on his face, appeared out of thin air inside the tower. He laughed and said, "Yan Xi, you are also a sect leader who founded a sect in my Nine Universe School. No matter what, you should go out and travel more. Even if you don't give lectures, it would be good to learn more about the universe."

The snake-tailed woman said hoarsely, "Zhenyan, you and I have both lived for billions of years and have explored most of the secret realms of the universe. Instead of wasting time outside, it would be better to calmly break through that realm."

"I advise you to patiently retreat into seclusion and cultivate, so you can break through to a higher level soon!"

"Haha, uh~!" The ape-man burly man didn't expect to be scolded by the snake-tailed woman upon their first meeting. As a friend of many years, he knew her personality well, so he laughed it off without taking it to heart.

"Yan Xi, you know my temperament. I'm naturally restless. Asking me to cultivate in peace for tens of thousands of epochs is worse than killing me."

The woman with the snake tail shook her head. It was indeed as True King Yan had said. As a veteran invincible king, he had reached the invincible king realm tens of thousands of years earlier than her. However, because of his carefree nature, he had been unable to break through the final step and become a cosmic venerable.

"Haha... Never mind that, I came to tell you something funny..." The ape-man laughed heartily, "You know about the Genius Battle, right?"

The snake-tailed woman stared indifferently at King Zhenyan with her vertical pupils. Finding herself uninterested, the latter spoke.

"I just received news that Lin Yi, that so-called 'Personal Guard Commander,' who was presiding over this year's Genius Battle hosted by the Nine Swords Venerable, didn't even give me a heads-up before using his oversight authority to monitor the event!"

"Haha, I heard that little guy named Lin Yi is quite a character! After the Genius Battle ended, he left without even saying goodbye to the Nine Swords Venerable, seemingly not fond of him."

"Huh? Really?" the snake-tailed woman asked in surprise.

Yan Xi also became interested.

She and Nine Swords Venerable were both geniuses who entered the Virtual Universe Company in the same year. The difference was that Nine Swords Venerable was the number one at the time and entered the Primordial Secret Realm, while she was the number two and entered the Primordial Secret Realm.

The two began their rivalry in a cosmic-level secret realm, and continued all the way to immortality, eventually becoming kings of immortality.

Neither enemy nor friend, just competitors.

Hearing that his former rival has suffered a minor setback still makes me secretly pleased.
