Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

She was, after all, a woman in her thirties.

"Living Buddha!"

That evening, she dressed up specially, bathed, and lit incense. Kneeling before Xu Lei, she tied up her hair, licked her lips, and said in a seductive voice, "Tonight, let Ling’er serve you well!

Before Ling’er gets too old!"

Xu Lei said nothing, simply accepting Shen Ling’er’s service.

But unexpectedly, three days later, Xu Lei suddenly heard news that Zhi Jian was about to pass away.

Xu Lei went to see him.

"Martial Uncle, thank you!"

Zhi Jian grasped Xu Lei’s hand. "Martial Uncle, tell me, if I..."

His words stopped abruptly, and his hand fell.

Xu Lei said nothing, but he understood what Zhi Jian had left unsaid. He was likely wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t chosen to give up his Cultivation back then.

But there are no ’what ifs’ in life.

「A dozen or so days later.」

Xu Lei returned to the hometown of his current life.

Zhi Jian’s death had made Xu Lei think of his own parents.

When Xu Lei arrived, he discovered that his parents had already been dead for over a decade.

His younger brothers and sisters were all married now.

Xu Lei did not go to see them.

He simply went to his parents’ graves.

He said nothing, only laid out some offerings for them.

After staying for a while, Xu Lei departed.

Unexpectedly, as he passed by the Shen Family’s estate, he saw they were holding another funeral.

He asked around and learned that the Shen matriarch had also passed away.

Xu Lei only went to offer some incense at night.

「Another year later.」

Xu Lei, living under the identity of Hui Chi, had returned to Celestial Zen Temple to live and cultivate.

Over the past year, he had spent time living at the Mu Prince’s Mansion, as well as with Su Chun, Yiyi, and Xu Yan’er in their respective homes. Only after that did he return to Celestial Zen Temple.

「One day.」

Xu Lei went down the mountain to see Young Master Zhao.

He learned from Young Master Zhao that disciples of the Zhao Family had once again spotted two Enchantresses entering the city.

However, when he had lit the signal flare, Xu Lei had not come.

The two Enchantresses later left the city on their own.

Another opportunity to strike had been missed.

Xu Lei also found it to be a pity.

Without the aid of Demon Cores, Xu Lei’s Cultivation progress was slow.

This was especially true as he tried to advance from the Late-stage Bodhisattva Tree Realm to the next Great Realm, the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm.

It seemed to be a very difficult breakthrough.

But there was nothing to be done. He had missed his chance and could only wait for the next one.

After bidding farewell to Young Master Zhao, Xu Lei returned to the temple and continued his Cultivation.

「In the blink of an eye, more than eight years had passed.」

In a flash, a decade had gone by since Xu Lei had first captured Hui Cheng.

Hui Cheng was still imprisoned in Xu Lei’s cellar.

Over the years, Xu Lei had successively brought some of his children who had decent aptitude to have Hui Cheng implant a Dao Seed in them.

By now, Hui Cheng was truly old and decrepit.

He was far weaker than he had been before.

Xu Lei still hadn’t killed him.

After all, imprisoning him like this was arguably more torturous than a swift death.

To kill him would be to grant him release.

As for pity? Compassion? Xu Lei felt none at all!

Hui Cheng had brought this upon himself by scheming against Xu Lei back then.

’This is what he deserves!’

’To the victor go the spoils—there’s nothing more to be said!’

After leaving the cellar, Xu Lei returned to the Cultivation Room above.

He sat cross-legged and resumed his Cultivation.

Ten years had passed. Xu Lei was now sixty-one years old!

But he still looked like a man in his mid-thirties.

He hadn’t gained any weight, so the only real change was an increase in the wrinkles on his skin.

Xu Lei wasn’t too concerned about the changes to his appearance.

What he did care about was that in all these years, the Enchantresses had not appeared in the Mortal World!

They must have been staying in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.

As long as they didn’t come out, Xu Lei could only wait in silence.

It was a game of attrition, a question of who could outlast the other.

He was certain they would eventually enter the Mortal World again!

Until then, all Xu Lei could do was become as strong as possible.

However, relying solely on his own Cultivation, he still hadn’t reached the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm after all this time!

This left Xu Lei feeling a bit frustrated.

Of course, because he could reincarnate endlessly, his spirit wasn’t broken.

He simply continued to cultivate peacefully, day after day.

VMMMM!

Finally, on this day, as Xu Lei was deep in his Cultivation, the Magical Power in his body began to surge restlessly.

’I’ve finally broken through to the Bodhisattva Fruit Realm!’

After a long while, Xu Lei opened his eyes, a smile gracing his lips.

Turning his senses inward for Introspection, he saw that a fruit had condensed on the Bodhisattva Tree within his body!

Within it, a Little Sumeru Space had even formed.

The space in his Lower Dantian was the same as before; it hadn’t grown any larger!

For all these years, the storage capacity for his Magical Power had remained unchanged.

But now that the Bodhisattva Fruit had condensed!

Because it formed another storage space for Magical Power within itself, it instantly increased Xu Lei’s Magical Power capacity by a large amount!

Moreover, the overall quality of his Magical Power was also better than before.

When he touched the fingers of his hands together and drew out a thread of Magical Power, he could see faint, transparent filaments mixed within it.
