A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 112

Chapter 111 is being targeted again.

Upon receiving the news, Hong Fu was also extremely anxious.

Calculating the time, the six demonic sects’ battle against the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, the reinforcements of Yuanwu Kingdom, and the reinforcements of Zijin Kingdom was scheduled for the next few days.

“Oh no, oh no, the decisive battle is in the next few days! Can I still make it?”

A Core Formation cultivator’s escape technique requires one or two days to travel.

“I should be able to make it, right?”

Hong Fu reassured herself.

She then immediately rushed to the Linghu family’s territory to request an audience with Ancestor Linghu. She then entrusted the primordial spirits of the Yuling Sect cultivators to the sect’s pillar of strength, allowing the Ancestor to conduct a soul search to understand the situation.

Upon this soul search, Ancestor Linghu’s heart sank.

“This is troublesome. I didn’t expect Ling Beast Mountain and Yuling Sect to stage a ruse…”

Initially, to prove their innocence, Ling Beast Mountain used two Core Formation cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the six demonic sects as a pledge of allegiance. However, from the primordial spirit of the Core Formation cultivator from the Yuling Sect, he realized it was all a smokescreen.

The two Core Formation cultivators who died were merely imposters created using secret methods. They

were not true Core Formation cultivators at all.

Their abilities were far inferior to the Li brothers of the Ghost Spirit Sect.

“What should we do, Martial Uncle?”

Hong Fu asked.

“Hmph, this is the work of your disciple!”

Ancestor Linghu sneered.

“Martial Uncle, what do you mean by this?”

Hong Fu frowned.

Ancestor Linghu crushed the primordial spirit of the Yuling Sect cultivator and said coldly,

“This primordial spirit is actually from several years ago. Your disciple captured it years ago. He clearly captured the primordial spirit of this Yuling Sect cultivator long ago. If he had handed over this person’s primordial spirit for me to search his soul a few days earlier, would our Three Kingdoms Allied Forces be in such a passive position

now?” The old man in brocade gritted his teeth, extremely angry.

Hong Fu did not reply.

She had already deduced the logic behind all her disciple’s actions from between the lines.

First, they created multiple pretexts to trick the Red Tassel Mountain lineage into leaving the battlefield and returning to Taiyue Mountain.

Then, they used the pure spiritual energy of the Spirit Eye Spring to “trick” her into seclusion, preparing to form her Nascent Soul.

Next, they used the benefits of the Crimson Forbidden Land to divert her attention, further confining her within the sect rather than immediately returning to the front lines.

Once viewed from this perspective, it’s not hard to see that the spiritual herbs the sect harvested from the Crimson Forbidden Land were practically preparations for future defeat.

Moreover, that child somehow managed to evade the detection of the Spirit-Sniffing Rats and secretly hoarded a large quantity of spiritual herbs!

As for why the news was delivered just days before the decisive battle?

It had the intention of protecting Yellow Maple Valley, a warning to Elder Linghu, and a hidden agenda to elevate the status of the Red Tassel Mountain lineage.

“Dong family girl…”

“Martial Uncle…?”

“Your disciple is truly audacious. Does he think he can control the course of the battle just because he holds a crucial bargaining chip? Why didn’t he reveal this information earlier, but only now? Is he trying to intimidate me?”

Old Monster Linghu narrowed his eyes, a complex and shrewd glint in them.

“Martial Uncle, Han Li definitely didn’t mean that…” Yeah,

right!

Hong Fu retorted.

She wasn’t stupid; she had already discerned that her little disciple’s sense of belonging to the sect was probably almost nonexistent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have revealed it only now. After all, this primordial spirit and this information were a great contribution.

Yet, her disciple didn’t care about this achievement at all.

From this, one could imagine how low her sense of belonging to Huangfeng Valley had fallen.

“Martial Uncle, you’ve chilled people’s hearts, what more do you expect?” Hong Fu sighed inwardly: How could she expect people to have no complaints after her own dishonest actions?

If it weren’t for the prestige of their Red Tassel Mountain lineage, they probably wouldn’t have known this news before the Six Demonic Sects launched their attack.

“Enough of this. I’ll head to the front lines immediately to inform the other five sects and the reinforcements from the two countries. You immediately organize the sect’s direct descendants to prepare. If the front lines suffer a defeat, lead the troops to evacuate Yue Kingdom immediately.”

Ancestor Linghu instructed while simultaneously transmitting his thoughts to Linghu Huiming and Huang Nie, explaining the situation.

At this point, blaming a Foundation Establishment cultivator was pointless.

Now was the time to make the most of their advance intelligence.

“If we can’t reach the front lines in time, we’ll have to cut our losses…”

Hmph.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to harbor resentment towards him, a dignified Nascent Soul ancestor?

He truly had audacity.

If he returned to the sect, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

And Hong Fu, she acted willfully, was poorly disciplined, and ineffective in her teaching. Even though she had the potential to reach Nascent Soul, she shouldn’t be a major investment. It’s more reliable to cultivate one’s own nephews or Lei Wanhe.

Firstly, it’s better to keep the resources within the family. Secondly, the three major sects have supported each other for many years, sharing weal and woe, making them more trustworthy and reliable than other families.

Having decided, the extra cultivation resources will be used to cultivate Huiming and Wanhe first.

…

Old Ancestor Linghu rushed towards the Jin Gu Yuan battlefield without stopping.

However, he received news halfway there that the six demonic sects had suddenly started their final battle ahead of schedule.

After reading the news, the old man in brocade robes immediately turned grim:

“Damn it!”

He was too late.

As expected, the battlefield was one-sided.

Initially, the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, working together in perfect harmony, were able to hold off the vanguard of the six demonic sects.

But as more demonic forces arrived, the seven sects were no match. After all, the six sects of the Demonic Path had an astonishing two to three hundred Core Formation cultivators, over ten thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, and more than one hundred thousand elite cannon fodder at the twelfth or thirteenth level of Qi Refining.

Once this formidable force formed a battle array, even a few Nascent Soul elders caught within it could be brutally slaughtered.

The seven sects were naturally no match for them.

Therefore, they could only rely on the numerous array formations and restrictions they had set up beforehand to buy time.

This did indeed buy the seven sects time, delaying the arrival of reinforcements from the Yuanwu Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom.

Originally…

The combined forces of the three kingdoms, though still weaker than the six demonic sects, had achieved a delicate balance.

However, no one anticipated that Spirit Beast Mountain, which had used the heads of several Core Formation cultivators from the six demonic sects as a “pledge of allegiance,” would suddenly betray them during the direct confrontation! The Core Formation and some Foundation Establishment cultivators of Spirit Beast Mountain not only ceased contributing any spiritual energy to the army’s formation, but also wreaked havoc within the formation from the rear, disrupting the three kingdoms’ formation.

Without the significant reinforcement of their formation, the three kingdoms’ alliance instantly crumbled.

Facing the already powerful six demonic sects, and their premeditated and overwhelming offensive, the three kingdoms’ alliance immediately collapsed.

In an instant, heavy casualties followed.

The defeat was swift and devastating.

The alliance rapidly disintegrated.

In this battle, the elite forces of the three kingdoms suffered heavy losses.

More than sixty Core Formation cultivators perished.

The Chen family patriarch, the Feng family’s Core Formation cultivators, and the Du family’s Core Formation cultivators from Huangfeng Valley all died in the chaotic escape. Only Lei Wanhe, skilled in lightning escape techniques, managed to escape the battlefield with his three disciples.

Unfortunately, Lei Wanhe could only protect his three younger, rear-placed disciples.

He couldn’t even manage to escape with his Foundation Establishment clansmen.

In this battle, the allied forces of the three kingdoms not only lost nearly half of their Core Formation cultivators, but also more than 70% of their Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples.

Especially among the Qi Refining cultivators, less than one percent escaped alive.

More than 99% of the Qi Refining cultivators were caught and killed by the demonic pursuers.

This battle crippled the three kingdoms

and shattered their morale.

After learning about the situation at the front from the defeated survivors, Patriarch Linghu felt a tightness in his chest.

“How could this be?”

How could things have deteriorated to this extent?

Why did the Six Demonic Sects break their agreement and launch the final battle ahead of schedule?

Linghu Laoguai’s heart was bleeding with frustration: Huangfeng Valley’s years of foundation in Yue Kingdom, was it all doomed?

For the first time, he felt a pang of regret.

He regretted his unfair treatment of that four-element pseudo-spiritual root cultivator under Hongfu’s tutelage.

But then, anger followed.

He was enraged by Han Li’s “retaliatory actions.”

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, a mere four-element pseudo-spiritual root, a piece of trash who could never form a Core, how dare he do this? How could he do this?

“You little beast, Huangfeng Valley has looked after you for many years, providing you with Foundation Establishment Pills to help you establish your foundation, bestowing upon you opportunities and fortune, how dare you be so ungrateful?” Linghu Laoguai was furious: “You dog, don’t let this old man catch you…”

At that time, even Hongfu’s pleas wouldn’t protect you.

There would be no place for you in Tiannan.

Why bring it out now of all times? It’s a blatant humiliation.

…

The location of the mine’s teleportation array.

Han Li crawled into a treasure chest.

He secluded himself for almost half a month.

This treasure chest contained the spiritual energy that had dissipated from his body when he dispersed his cultivation.

It turned out that most of his dispersed mana and true essence had been used to expand his meridians in his deep dantian during his third transformation into a higher level. The remaining part was stored in the treasure chest. Now, combined with the Foundation Establishment Pill, it was perfect for restoring his cultivation.

Thus, with this two-pronged approach, his cultivation successfully returned to the Foundation Establishment stage.

“It’s time to repair the ancient teleportation array.”

Restoring his cultivation first, then repairing the ancient teleportation array, would greatly improve efficiency.

Two more days passed, and he made several mistakes, wasting a lot of the materials he had prepared beforehand. Fortunately, he had prepared ten sets of spare materials, so even if he made mistakes, he had enough room for error.

“I wonder what’s happening outside?”

Had the Six Demonic Sects, as in the original timeline, prematurely detonated the Spirit Beast Mountain as a pawn to launch a final battle? Had they caught the Three Kingdoms allied forces off guard?

Just then, a ring of fire pierced through the cave concealing the ancient teleportation array, creating a passage.

The next moment, a beautiful figure flashed out from above the passage.

Upon appearing, she immediately locked onto Han Li on the teleportation array.

“Eh? An ancient teleportation array?”

The white-clad figure, covered in blood and looking somewhat disheveled, was filled with surprise.

“Hidden Moon Sect, Gan Rushuang? What are you doing here?”

Han Li raised an eyebrow.

“I once used a secret technique to leave a subtle mark on your black dragon spirit beast; even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not notice it without careful observation.” Gan Rushuang was quite frank. “

Alright, this isn’t the time for idle chatter. I’m being chased. Since there’s an ancient teleportation array, and you happen to possess the Great Teleportation Token, let’s leave here quickly.”

The woman suddenly changed her tone.

Her aura became ethereal and uncertain.

One moment she’s in the mid-stage of Core Formation, the next she’s in the Foundation Establishment stage, and then she’s even in the Qi Refining stage.

“You have pursuers behind you?”

Han Li’s expression changed drastically.

He cursed his bad luck inwardly.

He immediately poured a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones into the ancient teleportation array, wanting only to activate it as quickly as possible to escape. The ancient teleportation array, receiving ample spiritual energy, immediately lit up with colorful light. Intricate runes and radiance flowed on

the array platform. Seeing this, Gan Rushuang flashed forward, intending to enter the ancient teleportation array and teleport with him.

However…

“Bang!”

She crashed headfirst into the suddenly rising array light screen of the Inverted Five Elements Array.

“This…you…”

“See you again if fate allows!”

Han Li blinked apologetically.

He extremely distrusted this woman, deeply suspicious of her sudden appearance; it was too coincidental and too troublesome. Besides, what time was it? How could he possibly care about her safety?

In short, this ill-intentioned former female lead was better off without her.

This immediately made Gan Rushuang’s face turn red with anger.

Unfortunately,

Han Li wasn’t joking.

The ancient teleportation array, brimming with abundant spiritual energy, didn’t cause a significant disturbance. As the light intensified, his figure quickly vanished from the array platform.

The only thing left behind was a healing pill he had barely managed to toss out of the Inverted Five Elements Array’s range during the teleportation.

This was a specially refined ancient healing pill, highly effective for both treating and suppressing injuries.

Perhaps it could help Gan Rushuang.

“Damn it!”

Grandma Gan was furious.
