Chapter 19: The Mountain of Reincarnation

Through his battle, Xiao Feng found his true self and was able to cultivate a Divine King’s will.
This news spread quickly throughout Li Fei City and then among all the Divine Marshal-level cultivators of Tianfeng Fort, greatly inspiring them. Those who wanted to compete with Qiu Guanyi, Tian Chaoyi, Bai Feiyi, Jin Ziyi, and Gongye Qing became even more enthusiastic.
After all, during the tens of millions of years of previous competitions, none of these Divine Marshal-level cultivators had found their true self or cultivated a Divine King’s will, preventing them from breaking through to the Divine King realm despite understanding the Five Elements laws.
Now, with Xiao Feng as an example, all the Divine Marshal-level cultivators of Tianfeng Fort realized that the five spatial arrays arranged by Qu Yi were indeed useful to them. They would no longer treat competitions carelessly.
The power of an example is infinite. From then on, these cultivators became even more determined to compete with Qiu Guanyi, Tian Chaoyi, Bai Feiyi, Jin Ziyi, and Gongye Qing in hopes of finding their own true self.
Especially the ten leaders of Tianfeng Fort—Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, Zhuo Rui, Qing Yiyi, Yu Deming, Yu Chongxiu, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia—realized that Xiao Feng had already found his true self and was about to cultivate a Divine King’s will, which left them unable to remain calm.
“This can’t go on,” said these ten leaders in their cultivation chambers, deep in thought.
Logically, it should have been these ten leaders who first reached the Divine King realm as Divine Marshal-level cultivators of Tianfeng Fort. But now that Xiao Feng, a member of Tianfeng Fort, had broken through first, their status became awkward, and they could no longer face Qu Yi.
“We must fight fiercely,” they decided. Unable to meditate in peace, they chose to join the competition against Qiu Guanyi, Tian Chaoyi, Bai Feiyi, Jin Ziyi, and Gongye Qing.
Only through battle could they find their true self, and only in life-threatening moments might they awaken it.
Realizing this, the ten leaders immediately took action.
For Qiu Guanyi, Tian Chaoyi, Bai Feiyi, Jin Ziyi, and Gongye Qing, the competition intensity increased even further. There was no chance to rest—how could the fervent desire of Tianfeng Fort’s Divine Marshal-level cultivators to reach the Divine King realm allow these five to rest?

Zong Jing, Xu Miao, Qian Mao, Qi Shen, and Wu Yuan each guarded one of the five spatial arrays. Seeing the enthusiasm of the cultivators at Tianfeng Fort at the Divine General stage, they were all overjoyed and confident that more cultivators from Tianfeng Fort would reach the Divine King realm.

The spatial turbulence was filled with chaotic energy, making it even impossible for the divine senses of Divine Kings to detect anything beyond a limited distance.
At a special location, twenty-three Divine Kings from the Eight Realms gathered together and began cultivating simultaneously.
At that moment, all the Divine Kings opened their eyes, their brows deeply furrowed.
“Damn it! Almost all the native cultivators in our divine realm have been slaughtered. Now, only a few remain, forced to hide constantly. This is a true shame for all native cultivators in our divine realm,” Qiu Yan shouted in anger.
In this space, the chaotic energy flowed in a different direction, and the environment here was just like that of the divine realm—filled with the primordial energy of the Five Elements. Naturally, the Divine Kings of the Eight Realms could cultivate as they did in the divine realm. They could also stay in touch with their subordinates in the divine realm and stay informed about what was happening there.
Bo Rong’s eyes sharpened, a cold aura emanating from him as he said in a gloomy voice, “It doesn’t matter. As long as we survive, the native cultivators of the divine realm won’t disappear. We can always breed a large number of descendants. For now, we just need to keep cultivating until the Cycle War arrives.”
All the Divine Kings knew that once the Cycle War began, all Divine Kings in the divine realm would automatically enter the battlefield, where a fierce struggle would ensue. As long as the Divine Kings of the Eight Realms survived, they could continue to control the divine realm and restore its order.
Sang Yu nodded, a fierce aura radiating from his body as he said firmly, “The three Divine Emperors will definitely not let Qu Yi live. Once Qu Yi dies in the battlefield, we can go all out to kill Zong Jing, Xu Miao, Qian Mao, Qi Shen, and the others. The divine realm will still remain in our hands.”
All the Divine Kings nodded, their eyes gleaming with fury, clearly confident that the three Divine Emperors would take action against Qu Yi.

Yan Yi frowned again, speaking indignantly, “That Qu Yi is truly despicable. Although we have now located him, he has already captured Qiu Guanyi, Tian Chaoyi, Bai Feiyi, Jin Ziyi, and Gongye Qing and kept them in a space, where the cultivators from Tianfeng Fort constantly challenge them, allowing them to refine a Divine King will. If this situation continues, a considerable number of Tianfeng Fort’s cultivators will reach the Divine King realm, which will pose a huge challenge to us as well.”

Undoubtedly, these Divine Kings were also aware of the news that Xiao Feng was on the verge of refining a Divine King will through competition.

The Eight Realms Divine Kings understood that even if they killed Qu Yi in the Reincarnation Battlefield, if a large number of Tianfeng Fort’s cultivators reached the Divine King realm, it would be difficult for them to control the Divine Realm in the future. After all, it was extremely hard for a Divine King to kill another Divine King. By then, the only forces left in the Divine Realm would be these Divine Kings themselves, making it very difficult to control those who had ascended.

“It doesn’t matter. The Reincarnation Battlefield lasts only over 400 million years. How much more strength can these Tianfeng Fort cultivators gain by reaching the Divine King realm? Once Qu Yi is dead, these cultivators will have no leader, and they might even turn on each other. We just need to keep cultivating and wait for the Reincarnation Battlefield to arrive,” Tian Chen immediately said.

At that time, the Eight Realms Divine Kings still didn’t know that if even one of Tianfeng Fort’s cultivators reached the Divine King realm, Zong Jing, Xu Miao, Qian Mao, Qi Shen, and Wu Yuan would surely give them the Boundless Star Beads to help them take control of a cultivation realm in the lower world and gain faith power. Then, these newly risen Divine King-level cultivators from Tianfeng Fort would see their strength rise rapidly.

After hearing Tian Chen’s words, the other Divine Kings also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it made sense. As long as the Eight Realms Divine Kings held the Origin Beads of the eight great divine realms, it would still be easy for them to deal with these Divine Kings from Tianfeng Fort.

“Let’s continue cultivating and focus on waiting for the Reincarnation Battlefield,” Qiu Yan said, realizing that further discussion was pointless.

The other Divine Kings didn’t say much either and immediately closed their eyes to continue cultivating.

※※※

Four hundred million years had passed since Qu Yi was sealed by the Eight Realms Divine Kings. During this time, Zong Jing, Xu Miao, Qian Mao, Qi Shen, and Wu Yuan had fully understood the rules of space. Coupled with their inner beings reaching their limits, the space power they wielded was incredibly strong, rivaling that of the Divine Kings who possessed Origin Beads.

Twenty cultivators at the Divine Marshal stage of Tianfeng Fort had reached the Divine King realm. Xiao Feng was the first to achieve this realm, followed by Yang Guo, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu. Then, ten fort leaders successively reached it, and another six cultivators reached the Divine King realm as well. In the past, not a single Divine King had emerged in trillions of years in the Divine Realm. Yet in just forty million years, twenty new Divine Kings had appeared, which was truly shocking to the entire Divine Realm. At this moment, all twenty Divine Kings of Tianfeng Fort had gathered on Nan Yin Island. In the stone pavilion on the Three Divine Peaks, there were now twenty-six Divine Kings. As the island master, Zong Jing naturally had to warmly welcome these new Divine Kings. He stood up, raised his wine cup, and shouted loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, this first drink is to congratulate you on reaching the Divine King realm!” As Divine Kings, they usually didn’t need to drink alcohol, but since everyone was so happy, they decided to follow the example of ordinary cultivators in the Divine Realm and raise their cups in celebration. “Thank you, island master,” replied the twenty Divine Kings of Tianfeng Fort loudly. Everyone drank their cups in one gulp. Delighted, Zong Jing poured another cup of wine, raised it high, and said with a smile, “The second drink is to congratulate you on mastering a cultivation realm and obtaining faith power. From now on, it’s certain that your strength will reach perfection.” “Haha.” “Thank you, island master.” Hearing Zong Jing’s words, the twenty Divine Kings of Tianfeng Fort all laughed. Over the years, whenever they reached the Divine King realm, they would immediately receive an Infinity Star and go to the lower realms to take control of a cultivation realm, thereby gaining faith power. Everyone drank their cups again in one gulp. Excited, Zong Jing poured another cup of wine, raised it high, and shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Reincarnation Battle is approaching. Our decisive battle against the Eight Realms’ Divine Kings is coming soon. Whether our ascendant forces can eliminate all the native forces of the Divine Realm depends entirely on the outcome of this Reincarnation Battle. I propose that we all follow Qu Yi’s commands on the battlefield and work together to kill the Eight Realms’ Divine Kings.” “Good!” “Of course!” “We must kill the Eight Realms’ Divine Kings!” The Divine Kings in the stone pavilion all had resolute expressions. They quickly stood up, their faces filled with murderous intent, their hatred for the Eight Realms’ Divine Kings filling their hearts. The third cup of wine was drunk in one gulp, and the cups were then smashed on the ground with a loud crash. All the Divine Kings stared at that frozen space in the air, where Qu Yi and Gongye Ming’s bodies remained unchanged.

And at that very moment, a towering mountain suddenly appeared in the sky of the divine realm. It was immense in height, radiating golden light and misty aura, with howling winds and roars of beasts as it slowly moved through the air, fully visible to all the cultivators in the divine realm.
“That’s the Reincarnation Mountain!” Zong Jing suddenly exclaimed.
The Reincarnation Mountain was the place where all divine kings competed, also known as the Reincarnation Battlefield. Zong Jing had participated in a Reincarnation Battle once, so he naturally understood the significance of the appearance of this mountain.
“Divine king cultivators, the Reincarnation Battle will officially begin in ten million years,” an ancient and ethereal voice resounded throughout the divine realm.
