A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 113

Chapter 112 No, I did nothing wrong.

Wrong “Damn it, how could this guy do this?”

Gan Rushuang said angrily.

Ten years ago, during the Crimson Trial, she didn’t make things difficult for this boy, but only planted a mark on the Ink Dragon.

Ten years later, the front lines collapsed, the three-nation allied forces crumbled, and she happened to sense this mark within tens of thousands of miles at that time. So she came to take a look.

At first, she didn’t think much of it, just came to see what was going on.

But after getting closer and confirming the exact identity of the marked object, she suddenly felt a bit complicated.

She didn’t expect that the Ink Dragon, which was originally trapped in the Crimson Forbidden Land, had actually escaped. The question is, how did the Ink Dragon escape? She wanted to know the truth.

So she came to investigate.

Unexpectedly, she not only saw the Ink Dragon, but also the young man from Huangfeng Valley who had tamed the Ink Dragon.

How did this young man bring the Ink Dragon out of the Crimson Forbidden Land?

At first, she couldn’t figure it out. But then she considered Hong Fu’s sudden return to the mountain gate, and the fact that Elder Linghu had been in seclusion on Taiyue Mountain, with two mid-stage Core Formation experts, Huang Nie and Linghu Huiming, stationed in Huangfeng Valley.

At this point, if she still didn’t understand Huangfeng Valley’s actions, she would be incredibly foolish.

“Huangfeng Valley, could they have secretly opened the Crimson Forbidden Zone?”

The answer wasn’t hard to guess.

The black dragon she had marked was the biggest evidence.

“That Huangfeng Valley, they actually exploited such a huge loophole…!”

The more Gan Rushuang thought about it, the more she felt that Elder Linghu and the others were cunning.

As for how this young man from Huangfeng Valley discovered this ancient teleportation array, and how he obtained a Great Teleportation Token, that was no longer important. What mattered was that he had abandoned her and teleported away alone.

“Damn it…”

Gan Rushuang gritted her teeth, looking at the healing pill in her hand.

Of course, she understood why they had abandoned her. It was just that she couldn’t accept it.

“This place is not safe to stay long, I must escape quickly…”

Gan Rushuang sighed.

After all, her journey hadn’t been smooth sailing; she’d encountered a powerful enemy at the mid-stage of Core Formation and been injured.

She’d only managed to shake off her pursuers and reach this place by using a secret technique.

If she lingered here too long, and the pursuers caught up with her again, her fate would be grim.

“First, I need to escape to Yuanwu Kingdom to find a way to heal my wounds and remove the mark that person from Tiansha Sect left on me as soon as possible.”

Thinking of this crushing defeat, she felt utterly helpless.

Who would have thought that the Spirit Beast Mountain, which had offered its pledge of allegiance, was the biggest traitor within?

“I only hope that Master, Senior Sister, and the sect can pull through this…”

With that, Gan Rushuang flew out of the cave.

Just as she was about to flee, she glanced back at the several dozen feet of opening she had created.

“That young man from Huangfeng Valley might return years later with the key to the core tower of the Crimson Forbidden Land and the Great Teleportation Token. It would be disastrous if outsiders discovered this ancient teleportation array. It’s better to hide it; it might become an opportunity for our sect’s rise in the future…”

“A mere cultivator with pseudo-spiritual roots will eventually run out of lifespan and return home.”

“As for me, I only need to rely on the long lifespan of a Core Formation cultivator and wait for him to come to me.”

Muttering to herself, she tossed out two small Five Elements Talismans.

The talismans took effect, quickly repairing the hole carved open by the Vermilion Bird Ring.

Then, without looking back, she fled far away.

…

The six demonic sects of Tiannan, taking advantage of the betrayal by the Spirit Beast Mountain, ruthlessly outmaneuvered the six sects of Yue Kingdom and the Yuanwu and Zijin Kingdoms.

Through a decisive battle, they managed to deplete most of the resources of over a dozen sects in the three kingdoms.

Those below the Nascent Soul stage suffered heavy losses.

The Three Kingdoms suffered a crushing defeat, and with the situation beyond repair, the six sects of Yue Kingdom immediately prepared to flee this land where their ancestors had cultivated their roots for hundreds and thousands of years.

The six major sects had no intention of using their mountain gate formations to put up a last-ditch resistance.

However, this great escape was no easy task.

With their Nascent Soul stage elders tied down by the powerful Nascent Soul stage monsters of the demonic path, the Nascent Soul ancestors were unreliable. Therefore, cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage could only rely on their own abilities.

At the Qingxu Sect’s location,

“What should we do? What should we do?”

Fuyunzi, who had miraculously survived, was somewhat distraught upon returning to his sect.

On the battlefield, he had been rescued by Li Huayuan.

Li Huayuan used his trump card, sacrificing an invisible needle talisman, to fight his way out. He not only repelled three demonic Core Formation stage cultivators but also killed the mid-Core Formation stage cultivator who led the attack on them, allowing the two to escape safely.

Although he escaped back to Qingxu Sect, only three Core Formation cultivators remained, all of them possessing slightly inferior special physiques and dual spiritual roots, lacking the potential to reach Nascent Soul stage! Furthermore, only a hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators remained, and fewer than four thousand Qi Refining disciples. Most of these four thousand disciples were low-level Qi Refining cultivators, the lucky ones who had stayed within the sect and hadn’t gone to the front lines.

In this battle, most of the Core Formation elites and Foundation Establishment geniuses perished, including the most promising late-stage Core Formation senior brother and two senior brothers with unique spiritual roots.

In other words, Qingxu Sect was severely crippled in the battle.

Most critically, they would become homeless, losing their sacred spiritual mountains and resource-rich lands upon which they depended for survival.

If they couldn’t find a new foothold in a short time, a catastrophic decline of the sect was imminent.

Did Qingxu Sect still have a future? Don’t be fooled

by the fact that the sect’s Nascent Soul stage uncles were still there, maintaining a certain level of influence.

What about two or three hundred years from now?

Once the older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators pass away and no new Nascent Soul patriarchs are born, what will become of the Qingxu Sect?

The sect’s decline and decay will only be a matter of time.

This is why Fuyunzi is bewildered and

disoriented .

“Uncle-Master, what should we do next?”

a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingxu Sect urgently asked.

Even the Core Formation cultivators are panicked, let alone the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

What should they do? They

are completely clueless.

“Head south, to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. The north will likely soon descend into war as well; the offensives of both the righteous and demonic paths cannot be withstood by a disorganized group,”

Fu Yunzi’s senior brother transmitted telepathically to the Foundation Establishment stage manager within the sect.

This was actually the message conveyed by the Nascent Soul elder of the Qingxu Sect.

With the resurgence of the righteous and demonic paths, they would inevitably vie for control of the southern heartland. Heading north would certainly draw them into a new war. Heading south, though restricted by the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, would still require seizing territory and would likely involve facing the Mulan people. However, the Mulan people’s harassment in recent years had not been frequent, allowing them some time to recuperate.

However,

the Nascent Soul elders of the Qingxu Sect and the other sects could never have imagined that the seemingly peaceful border region between the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and the Tianlan Grassland would soon face a massive invasion by the Mulan people.

This was because the southern region was in turmoil.

With the balance of power disrupted by the righteous and demonic paths, internal strife was severe, mutual distrust was rampant, and everyone was preoccupied with their own problems.

This was precisely the perfect opportunity for the Mulan people to launch a full-scale invasion.

As the saying goes, “A single hair can move the whole body.”

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the various factions in the Yue Kingdom had secretly pondered and discussed many things, calculating that a massive war quagmire would form in the north of the Tiannan region. Initially, this was indeed the case. However, no one had anticipated that on the Tianlan Grassland, the Mulan people had been utterly defeated by the Tuwu people, rendering them powerless to reclaim the grassland. Left with no other option, they sent three powerful cultivators to the southern border, attempting to invade and gain a foothold.

The Mulan people currently possess three late-stage Nascent Soul stage cultivators, along with Mulan Sacred Birds comparable to peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators or even Quasi-God Transformation cultivators. The Tuwu people

currently possess four powerful cultivators, and a group of over a dozen mature Gold-Eating Insects comparable to early-to-mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, the natural enemy of energy-based Mulan Sacred Birds. They also have sacred beasts to rely on.

The gap in top-tier combat power was significant, and with years of war, the number of early-to-mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators dying in battle had inevitably increased.

Unable to defeat the Tuwu, the Mulan people could only seek a sense of superiority and territory in the beset by internal and external troubles of the Yan people in the south.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the six Yue sects, including Elder Linghu, never imagined that the Nine Kingdoms Alliance’s hellish challenge was about to begin for them.

…

A decisive battle at Jingu Plain, which began with a betrayal, reduced the initial 50,000 to 60,000 Qi Refining elites of the six Yue sects to less than 500. Of

the more than 3,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators, only 200-300 remained.

Of the dozens of Core Formation cultivators, only about 20 escaped.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from Yuanwu and Zijin kingdoms shared most of the pressure; otherwise, the six Yue sects would likely have been wiped out completely by the main force of the six demonic sects.

Leaving aside the Nascent Soul cultivators… After this battle, the Hidden Moon Sect, which had nearly 30,000 Qi Refining disciples, over 1,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators, and more than 20 Core Formation elders, was reduced to a second-rate sect with only seven Core Formation elders and a mere 10,000 disciples.

Because of the relentless pursuit, they were forced to fight their way out again, suffering further losses.

By the time they reached the Nine Kingdoms Alliance several months later, only a little over 6,000 members remained.

The other four sects averaged only 2,000 to 3,000.

The worst off was the Giant Sword Sect, which had only one Core Formation cultivator left!

The closer they were to the Spirit Beast Mountain, the more devastating the betrayal they suffered.

On the other hand, the Yellow Maple Valley, having received advance warning, prepared for an evacuation, preserving a large amount of its resources, including spiritual herbs, materials, and minerals, as well as over 5,000 members. This propelled the Yellow Maple Valley to second place among the six sects.

Although it had fallen from a second-rate sect overall, the breakthrough in Linghu Laoguai’s cultivation provided it with a better foundation for survival.

Even the Hidden Moon Sect didn’t dare to truly make things difficult for Yellow Maple Valley because of the Blood Forbidden Land incident.

They only privately demanded a sum of Foundation Establishment Pills and cultivation supplies for the Foundation Establishment stage.

…

It was at this time that

Yellow Maple Valley found its new foothold in the Northern Liang Kingdom.

Old Monster Linghu looked north and reflected on the past, only then truly realizing the role someone had played in the overall context.

“The Yanling Fort incident, that kid captured two youngsters from the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Joyous Union Sect, allowing me to use them as leverage to find an opportunity for breakthrough…”

Without Han Li’s “accidental success,” he would have gained nothing, let alone the opportunity for breakthrough. Moreover,

without Han Li, the hidden branch of the Yan family wouldn’t have joined Yellow Maple Valley, and the other group of Yan family members who openly joined the Hidden Moon Sect wouldn’t have befriended Yellow Maple Valley.

Subsequently:

“On the Golden Drum Plain battlefield, that brat allowed Hong Fu and the others to escape the front lines in time…”

Otherwise, Hong Fu would have faced a near-death experience. She

would definitely have been targeted to death by the Six Demonic Sects. It’s important to know that three late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect perished, one of whom was Old Monster Qiong; only one escaped.

Li Huayuan survived because he wasn’t valued and possessed the Invisible Needle Talisman.

Lei Wanhe survived because of his exceptional escape techniques, allowing him to flee with his family.

The mid-stage Core Formation junior from the Yan family’s hidden lineage survived because of the powerful Qiankun Tower Talisman.

Furthermore:

“That kid’s suggestion to secretly open the Crimson Forbidden Land and monopolize the resources has given Huangfeng Valley a large amount of precious cultivation resources, providing the confidence to cultivate more Core Formation cultivators and even a Nascent Soul cultivator…”

Without Han Li’s suggestion and actions, especially leveraging the vanguard of the Six Demonic Sects to further attract the attention of the Hidden Moon Sect and other factions, this wave of forbidden land resources would have been impossible.

“Finally, that little fellow took out the primordial spirit of a cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect a few days in advance, informing us that the Spirit Beast Mountain was an undercover agent, thus preserving half of the foundation and resources of my Yellow Maple Valley…”

If it weren’t for the advance warning, Yellow Maple Valley would have had to cut its losses and survive, and would have suffered heavy losses because it couldn’t transfer its wealth in time.

“This, this…”

The more he compared the heavy losses of the other sects, the more his face burned with shame.

“Was I wrong? Should I have treated that brat surnamed Han like that?”

“No, I was right.”

“Those below the Nascent Soul stage are all ants.” “

For a mere Foundation Establishment stage ant, providing him with protection is already a great favor. How could he dare to harbor resentment? The fact that I didn’t directly rob him of the benefits from his storage bag is already the greatest mercy.”

Old Monster Linghu gritted his teeth and said:

“Besides, all of that little fellow’s contributions were just a lucky accident.”

How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator be so shrewd?

He didn’t believe that Han Li was such a prodigy.

Coincidence.

It was all a coincidence.

Because it was so outrageous, the old monster stubbornly persisted in deceiving himself.

The next chapter will be a little late.
