Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"Senior Brother Hui Ming!"

Xu Lei also focused his gaze, watching intently.

He couldn’t place himself within it to experience it directly.

But observing closely from the outside might be beneficial for his own future Tribulation Crossing.

After all, Xu Lei would eventually have to face this day.

Although in this lifetime, Xu Lei felt he probably wouldn’t make it that far.

’But maybe in the next life, or the one after that,’ he thought.

"AHHH!"

「A few minutes later.」

Xu Lei suddenly saw Hui Ming, who was at the center of it all, lose his composure.

His face twisted into a grimace, and an agonized scream escaped his lips.

This made Xu Lei’s heart tremble, and he nearly thought Hui Ming was about to fail just like Chun Yuan had.

That he would be reduced to ashes in the Nirvana Fire!

However, to Xu Lei’s surprise, Hui Ming was not incinerated.

He was still holding on.

No one dared to disturb him.

They could only continue to watch with bated breath.

"Could he be succeeding?"

Suddenly, Zhao Xin’s Martial Aunt couldn’t help but whisper, "He’s actually held on for this long?!"

"Hm?"

Xu Lei’s expression shifted as well. "Senior Brother... his skin..."

At that moment, the wrinkles on Hui Ming’s face, who sat cross-legged in the middle of the Nirvana Fire, were actually fading away.

His once slightly stooped back was now straightening.

The wrinkles on his exposed arms were also gradually smoothed out by an unseen force.

He was growing younger!

Xu Lei was stunned!

In all his time in this world, he had never heard of or seen anyone who could grow younger.

Not even the Cultivators of the Buddhist and Daoist Sects!

Although they could use their Magical Power to extend their lifespans, they still inevitably grew older, bit by bit.

It was said that there were some rare and heavenly Treasures in the world that could aid one’s Cultivation.

But he had never heard of any Treasure that could make a person young again!

Yet now, Hui Ming was growing younger right before his very eyes!

Of course, Hui Ming didn’t revert to a teenager in the end.

He had simply become much younger.

From an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, he had returned to the appearance of a man in his forties or fifties.

"How is this possible?"

Zhao Xin was also shocked, covering her tender lips. "Uncle Hui Chi, could it be that Father is...?"

"That’s right."

Xu Lei said to her, "Your father is likely about to succeed in his Nirvana!"

Just as Xu Lei and Zhao Xin were speaking, all the Flames surrounding Hui Ming suddenly vanished with a POOF.

It was as if an invisible energy swept around him, absorbing the flames completely.

Then, a faint halo of Buddhist light appeared behind Hui Ming’s back.

The onlookers were all stunned.

This was a scene they had only read about in fragmentary records from ancient, legendary texts!

"Hui Ming did it! He succeeded!"

Even the current Buddha’s Head of the Buddhist Sect, the very same person who had once helped Xu Lei capture that Demon Dragon, was overcome with excitement.

He was, of course, also present today.

Back then, Xu Lei had thought the Buddha’s Head was stronger than Hui Ming.

’But now?’

Hui Ming had already succeeded in his Nirvana!

It seemed the Buddha’s Head had not.

Xu Lei didn’t know if Hui Ming had always been stronger than the Buddha’s Head, or if he had caught up and surpassed him in recent years.

Hui Ming had never said much about his specific level of Cultivation.

He truly embodied the principles of a Buddhist Disciple, cultivating in seclusion, remaining low-key, and avoiding karmic entanglement.

Of course, the Buddha’s Head’s Cultivation had surely reached the Upper Three Realms as well.

He just didn’t know which specific realm or what stage within it.

’Perhaps he wants to accumulate a better state and a deeper foundation before attempting his own Nirvana,’ Xu Lei mused. ’Of course, it’s also possible he feels he isn’t old enough yet, so he’s in no hurry to take that step.’

After all, failing to withstand the Nirvana Fire would mean the death of both body and spirit!

And considering the state of his physical body, if his Cultivation went smoothly, he could still live comfortably for many more years.

Naturally, this was all just Xu Lei’s personal speculation.

Xu Lei had never asked Hui Ming about the Buddha’s Head’s specific Cultivation level before.

Additionally, it occurred to Xu Lei that the strongest person in the Buddhist Sect might not even be this Buddha’s Head.

’After all, the Buddha’s Head has to occasionally handle the sect’s affairs. Dealing with such practical matters must consume some of his energy. It’s possible that the truly strongest high monks are all focused solely on their Cultivation. Otherwise, why wouldn’t those Great Demons dare to run rampant and act arrogantly in the Mortal World?’

Even that Male Enchantress, possibly the strongest of his kind and a being of the Upper Three Realms, kept a low profile. He moved stealthily through the Mortal World, not daring to act brazenly.

Of course, Xu Lei wasn’t actually sure which of the Upper Three Realms that Male Enchantress belonged to.

He didn’t know just how powerful the final realm of the Upper Three Realms was.

At the time, Xu Lei had assumed the Male Enchantress was in the final realm of the Upper Three Realms because he had seemed overwhelmingly powerful to him.

A strength that was completely irresistible.

A single strike from afar had been enough to smash his face, break his leg, and shatter most of the bones in his body.

The human experts of the Upper Three Realms wouldn’t waste their Magical Power just to show off for him, so Xu Lei had no way of knowing their true strength.

So, Xu Lei could only guess.

’It’s possible that Male Enchantress was only in one of the first two realms of the Upper Three Realms,’ he considered.

In any case, even the Buddha’s Head was incredibly excited at this moment.

Clearly, Hui Ming’s successful Nirvana had given him a great deal of encouragement.

And just as Xu Lei’s mind was racing with these thoughts...

"HUMMM!"

Suddenly, a seven-colored ray of light shone down from the sky.

It landed directly on Hui Ming’s body.

It resonated with the halo of Buddhist light behind him.

Then, Hui Ming’s body actually began to float faintly into the air.

This wasn’t Hui Ming using his own Magical Power to fly.
