I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Falling Star Valley, Immortal City Alliance, Ruihan Immortal City.

In the dungeon, a basin of filthy water was splashed onto a young man bound to a torture rack, his clothes tattered and his body covered in bloody marks.

The young man shuddered, his head snapping up as his eyes flew open.

His gaze was slightly dazed at first, but it quickly cleared.

"Sui Xiao, just confess already. Wouldn’t you rather suffer less? What good will it do you to keep holding out?" The interrogator shook his head and set down the bucket.

’Starting this life imprisoned?’

Du Youqian felt a wry smile tug at his lips.

’How has my situation gotten worse with every life?’

’But, looking back on the past few years, I’ve had some incredible luck turning disasters into blessings.’

’Otherwise, my body would have long since turned to ash. I wouldn’t be alive to be interrogated here.’

Du Youqian shook his head with a sigh as he delved into his memories.

’It’s true what they say. Women only slow down the speed of your sword draw.’

’A young man’s lust for beauty will always bring disaster upon himself.’

’Before I broke through the Mystery of the Womb, I ended up in this state all because of a woman who was beautiful and pure on the outside, but venomous as a viper on the inside.’

’It really has the flavor of those fantasy protagonists that were popular on Qidian for a while—the engagement-breaking trope, the betrayal trope, all the elements are here.’

After locating Ruihan Immortal City in his memories and quickly cross-referencing it with some landmarks, Du Youqian got a basic grasp of his current position.

He was about 30,000 li southeast of the Endless Desert Sea.

’Thankfully, for a Cultivator, that distance is nothing.’

This place was even more remote than the Endless Desert Sea, but its resources were decent, leading to incredibly fierce competition between the Human Race and the Demon Race.

Every year, a large number of Cultivators died in battles of all sizes against the Demon Race.

Compared to this place, the Western Domain of the Endless Desert Sea was practically a peaceful garden.

"Hey, are you listening to me? Sui Xiao, you can’t possibly still think you’re the great young master of the Sui Family, can you? If the Sui Family’s Ancestor hadn’t stopped him, your father would have kicked you out of the family and struck your name from the clan registry long ago. Just accept your fate. It doesn’t matter whether you did it or not; just confess for now. If you don’t give everyone an explanation, you’ll just waste away and die in this cell. What’s the point?"

Du Youqian’s thoughts were interrupted. He looked up at the man.

This man was Shen Wu, a Qi Cultivation Late Stage Cultivator and a minor figure from a side branch of the Shen Family, one of the Four Great Clans of Ruihan Immortal City.

In the past, someone like him could only bow his head in Sui Xiao’s presence, not daring to speak unless spoken to.

That was because Sui Xiao was the eldest son of the direct line of the Sui Family, one of the Four Great Clans, and was also doted upon by the Sui Family’s Golden Core Ancestor.

Outside, Sui Xiao was high and mighty, while Shen Wu could only look up to him from below.

But in this prison, Sui Xiao had been dragged through the mud and stomped on. Even a minor character like Shen Wu could now humiliate and bully him.

However, the two had no prior grievances, so Shen Wu wasn’t being too excessive. He was just habitually putting on airs in his own little territory.

Du Youqian spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and smiled at Shen Wu. "Alright."

"I’m just saying, you need to look on the bright side. I know you might have been framed... Wait, what did you say?" Shen Wu’s eyes widened.

Du Youqian chuckled. "I said, alright, I’ll confess. With my status, even if I admit guilt, they can’t do much to me. The worst they can do is exile me to the front lines to fight the Demon Race, right? It’s better than waiting to die in this cell!"

Shen Wu said with relief, "It’s good that you can see things clearly. I’ll get you something to eat and drink in a bit. Once you’ve had your fill, you can sign the confession. This matter has dragged on for too long. It’s time to put an end to it."

Du Youqian lowered his head and smiled. "Yes, it is time to put an end to it."

"Seeing reason is a good thing. You should just rest easy and not overthink it. Living out the rest of your life as an ordinary person wouldn’t be so bad," Shen Wu muttered as he walked away.

A short while later, he returned carrying a food box. Inside were two dishes that, while not exquisite, were packed with meat, along with a flask of low-quality Spirit Wine.

Shen Wu put down the food box and untied Du Youqian.

He wasn’t afraid of Du Youqian escaping. According to the official story, when Du Youqian had attempted to rape the young miss of the Rong Family, he was stopped by the Bian Family’s genius, Bian Youque. Du Youqian had then brazenly tried to poison Bian Youque.

But Bian Youque had counterattacked, and instead, Du Youqian ended up poisoned himself, destroying most of his Dantian Qi Sea.

Now, Du Youqian’s Cultivation had plummeted to the Qi Cultivation First Layer and was still falling, making him almost a Mortal. Even if given the chance, he couldn’t escape.

Du Youqian thanked him and buried his head in the food and drink.

His Dantian was half-destroyed, and as a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, he needed to engage in Refining Essence and Qi to replenish himself. Thus, he desperately needed this food to make up for his body’s deficit.

’As for attempting to rape someone and trying to poison Bian Youque, that was all bullshit, of course.’

’That despicable pair had framed him completely.’

It was all so cliché, so typical of an old-school fantasy protagonist. As Du Youqian recalled these scenes from his memory, he was so embarrassed he could have dug a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

’Before I broke through the Mystery of the Womb, I was so stupid.’

’I was clearly very intelligent, but because I fell in love with that woman, my IQ dropped into the negatives, and I fell for such a simple scheme.’

’Stupid beyond belief.’

’But it doesn’t matter. I have now broken through the Mystery of the Womb.’

’Overturning the verdict is impossible, so I might as well just confess.’

’There’s no point in stubbornly resisting. I’m the eldest son of the Sui Family’s direct line. Even if I had actually raped Rong Panxi, it wouldn’t be a capital offense.’

’Besides, according to the case details, Bian Youque arrived in time to stop me, so it was only attempted rape.’

’The most severe punishment would just be exile to the front lines to fight the Demon Race.’

’Anyway, according to his memories, in a Cultivation Clan like this, as long as I prove my worth, the family will protect me to the death.’

’Restoring my Cultivation isn’t a problem either. My Dantian may be half-destroyed, but how could a trivial matter like that possibly stump me?’

’As long as I confess, get exiled, and gain a bit of freedom, I’ll naturally find a way to recover.’

’Once I’m exiled, I’ll take some time to restore my Cultivation to the Foundation Establishment realm, and then I’ll just kill my way back.’

’When the time comes, I’ll slaughter both Rong Panxi and Bian Youque. If any Golden Core Ancestor dares to stand in my way, I’ll cut them down too. We’ll see who dares to make a peep then.’

Shen Wu watched Du Youqian eat and drink with mixed feelings.

’This guy...’

’He’s clearly a prisoner, and he’s been starving for so long, yet he eats and drinks with such unhurried, elegant posture.’

’Is the temperament of someone from the direct line of a great clan really that different?’

Shen Wu felt a mix of admiration and jealousy.

After a moment’s thought, he also felt a bit of pity.

That Bian Youque was the direct son of the Bian Family, one of the Four Great Clans ruling Ruihan City. His aptitude was outstanding, and he had been highly regarded since childhood.

In those years, before their Spirit Roots had been tested, the young Sui Xiao and Bian Youque were considered the most intelligent and promising children of their generation among the Four Great Clans.

Therefore, just like Sui Xiao, Bian Youque was nurtured from a young age with medicinal baths and gentle Treasures of Heaven and Earth, with their families sparing no expense.

When the two were old enough to have their Spirit Roots tested, Bian Youque was found to possess a Top Grade Wind Spirit Root, making him the most talented individual in the Bian Family in three hundred years.

As for Sui Xiao... he surprisingly only had a Lower Grade Gold Spirit Root, a shockingly disappointing result.

After all, it was the Sui Family’s Ancestor who had insisted that Sui Xiao’s aptitude was exceptional. Who would have thought that the Ancestor could have been so mistaken?

Now, two years after they began their Cultivation, a huge gap had already formed between Sui Xiao’s and Bian Youque’s Cultivation realms.

Sui Xiao was still at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer—no, now he was at the Qi Cultivation First Layer.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Meanwhile, Bian Youque had entered the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage long ago. Now, at only eighteen years old, he was already at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

From Shen Wu’s perspective, based on the interrogations, Sui Xiao wasn’t crazy, nor did he have an arrogant and domineering personality. ’How could he have possibly taken the initiative to attack Bian Youque?’

The matter was riddled with suspicious details.

But Shen Wu had long since received instructions from his family: the Shen Family was not to get involved in this matter.

This was a power struggle between the Bian Family and the Sui Family. Over the past few hundred years, those two families had continuously increased their strength, and they now far surpassed the Shen and Rong Families.

So, the Shen Family would let them fight it out and simply watch from the sidelines.

Therefore, even though he had noticed the suspicious points, Shen Wu kept his mouth shut and just watched on coldly.

Once he finished eating and drinking, Du Youqian carefully examined the confession document Shen Wu had brought, then signed it and pressed his fingerprint.

Then he fell back and was soon fast asleep, snoring soundly.

Shen Wu checked and found that Du Youqian was truly asleep, which made him feel even more admiration.

As someone who enjoyed reading history, Shen Wu knew all too well what such a resilient mindset in an eighteen-year-old young man could mean.

’If this boy survives this ordeal, finds a way to repair his Dantian, and then avoids any assassination attempts the Bian Family might make on the front lines, he could really become someone great in the future.’

After Shen Wu submitted the confession signed by "Sui Xiao," the upper echelons of the Four Great Clans engaged in a series of political maneuvers over the next few days to decide his punishment.

The Four Great Clans, the rulers of Ruihan City, had formed a system similar to that of a Sect. The Cultivation scriptures of the four families were shared for all to read. Cultivators usually addressed each other as "Senior Brother," "Junior Brother," "Senior Sister," or "Junior Sister." They received education and training together, practiced Magic together, went on practical training missions together, and once their Cultivation and Magic reached a certain level, they would go to the front lines to fight the Demon Race together...

The position of City Lord was rotated among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Four Great Clans. The current City Lord was Rong Xilan of the Rong Family, the paternal aunt of "Sui Xiao’s" love interest, Rong Panxi.

But the City Lord was not the true seat of power. The real authority lay with the "Elder Council," whose Elders were the Core Formation Ancestors of the Four Great Clans.

Whichever family had more Core Formation Ancestors naturally held more sway in the Elder Council.

Currently, the Sui Family had three Core Formation Masters, so even if Sui Xiao had truly committed the crime, he wouldn’t receive too harsh a punishment—it simply wouldn’t pass a vote in the Elder Council.

The Bian Family had two Core Formation Masters, while the Shen Family had only one at the Fake Pill realm, and the Rong Family had just one at the Core Formation Early Stage. The three of them combined could barely contend with the Sui Family.

But the Sui Family would never completely fall out with the other three families over such a trivial matter—even if Sui Xiao was the eldest son of the direct line, an eldest son with only a Lower Grade Spirit Root and a ruined Dantian was still just a trivial matter to a Cultivation Clan.

Shen Wu’s guess was the same as Du Youqian’s: the Four Great Clans would eventually reach a compromise and exile Du Youqian to the front lines to fight the Demon Race, forbidding his return until he had accumulated enough military merits.

Therefore, over the past few days, Shen Wu had been constantly trying to curry favor with Du Youqian in small ways, bringing him good food and drink and being completely responsive to his minor requests.

Du Youqian asked with a smile, "Brother Shen, why are you being so attentive to me?"

Shen Wu laughed. "I just feel that you, my worthy brother, are destined for greatness. I hope that after you overcome this trial and soar to success, you won’t forget to give your big brother a hand."

Du Youqian gave him a deep look and slowly nodded.
