A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 172

Chapter 169 Old Monster Qiong, what a pity (Added 2k)

“Have you inquired about it?”

Han Li asked.

“Yes, I’ve been in contact with some high-level female cultivators over the years and have learned a bit. I heard that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Void Heaven Palace will open in the next few years.”

Tianxing City is a mixed bag, and the matter of the Void Heaven Palace can’t be kept secret.

It’s not exactly a secret among many high-level cultivators with connections.

“Have you collected any fragments of the Void Heaven map?”

“No.”

Yan Li shook her head:

“However, when I attended an auction before, I saw two fragments being auctioned off separately. But at the time, I didn’t know that my husband was interested in the Void Heaven Palace.”

“That’s quite a pity.”

Han Li nodded.

But he didn’t seem to care.

Anyway, he would get the third fragment from another place.

The first was the legacy of the Yue Emperor.

The second was the legacy of the young master of the Qingyang Sect.

The third was the Xuan Bone.

He could “rescue” people after Jin Qing, Hu Yue, and the others found the place.

That’s just how upright and kind he was.

She couldn’t bear to see innocent people die needlessly.

After over a hundred years of arduous cultivation, finally achieving the Golden Core, finally rising above others, only to die silently in a desolate, remote place.

What a pity, what a pity.

Let’s go save them.

And get some reward along the way.

“Husband, the Void Heaven Palace won’t open for several more years, we still have time. During this time, I’ll keep an eye out at the market auctions,”

Yanli said enthusiastically.

“No need. You and Yuanyao should devote yourselves entirely to cultivation, striving to advance further before the Void Heaven Palace opens, ideally reaching the late Core Formation stage. It’s too risky for you two to venture into the Void Heaven Palace with only mid-Core Formation cultivation; I’m worried about you,”

Han Li’s words warmed the two women’s hearts.

“We…can we?”

The two women’s expressions were complex.

If they hadn’t met their husband, they would have been two low-level female cultivators, only fit to be played with.

Only after meeting their husband could they achieve Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and even their current mid-Core Formation cultivation.

Everything felt like a dream.

They hoped it wouldn’t end there.

The beautiful dream shattered.

“Don’t worry.”

Without him, the chances of these two advancing further in a few years were… negligible.

But since he needed someone trustworthy to assist him and retrieve treasures from the inner chambers of important shrines, why would he be stingy?

After all, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was still too weak; they might not be able to break through the inner chambers’ restrictions to obtain what he needed.

“By the way, before I left, which of the fire-repelling and cold-proof treasures did you find?”

Han Li suddenly asked.

The Ice and Fire Path was a true test of cultivation and resources,

especially with those two old guys from the Star Palace causing trouble.

“Husband, I recently acquired a Fire Yang Crystal from a Star Palace cultivator. It contains immense fire-attribute energy. Within a ten-zhang radius, it can withstand wind, snow, and frost. If it could be refined into a magic weapon, it would surely have an even greater effect.”

“Husband, I also won a large piece of Deep Sea Mystic Crystal at a high price. With some time, I might be able to refine it into a rare treasure, the Cold Glass Bead…”

“Good.”

He remembered that a disciple surnamed Sun from the Extreme Yin sect possessed such a Cold Glass Bead.

Unfortunately

, back then, he hadn’t yet formed his Nascent Soul and didn’t want to risk confronting the Extreme Yin old demon.

“What about your own natal magic weapons?”

“I’ve used the magic weapon materials you gave me back then to forge a Mystic Moon Sword.”

Yanli touched her sleeve, and a large cyan sword wreathed in runes appeared in her hand.

“Husband, don’t be fooled by its broad appearance; it’s actually quite light…”

Despite her petite frame, Yanli wielded the sword with surprising power.

Meanwhile…

Yuan Yao held a sheathed flying sword in each hand, one on her left and one on her right:

“I forged this pair of male and female swords using the magical materials given to me by my husband.”

The left sword was white, the right black.

The black sword was the male sword, and the white sword was the female sword.

Both swords were fitted with magical sheaths, possessing the characteristic of nurturing flying swords.

“Male and female swords, unsheath…”

Two streaks of light, one black and one white, shot out, circling the cave with agility and speed.

“Not bad.”

Han Li observed with great satisfaction.

The crafting methods of these magical treasures were either spoils of war he obtained from killing several Core Formation stage cultivators in his earlier years, or inheritances collected by Yuan Yao and Yan Li after Yuan Yao and Yan Li reached Core Formation.

For example, the inheritance of the Twin Swords came from a once-glorious but now declining sword sect in the Chaotic Star Sea.

It belonged to the top tier of magical treasures.

Yan Li’s Xuan Yue Sword magical treasure inheritance also came from a former Nascent Soul level force.

The crafting methods were easy to find, but the materials were not.

Fortunately, the young master of the Qingyang Sect had been kind enough to offer help.

“I also have a fire-resistant robe here. You can take it too, just in case.”

…

He estimated the time. After

failing to scout out the Golden Green Cave, Han Li went to Red Moon Island. Concealing his cultivation, he sat down with the late-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Stone Butterfly Fairy, for a discussion, and casually left a divine sense mark.

Unless a cultivator’s divine sense surpassed his, they wouldn’t easily detect the mark.

With this mark, he could sense even those hundreds of thousands of miles apart. He

also

greeted Yuan Yao and Yan Li, who were closer to Stone Butterfly on Red Moon Island.

Yan Li had almost become best friends with the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

“I’ll be away for a while. During this time, focus on improving your cultivation. When I return, we’ll go to the Void Heaven Palace together. Also, keep an eye on Stone Butterfly’s movements. If they travel far, you can follow them. Once you track them to their destination, don’t investigate; return immediately,”

Han Li said seriously.

“Yes, my husband.”

…

He traveled to the Starry Sky Palace on the fiftieth floor of the Holy Mountain, then used a teleportation array to go to the outer sea.

Concealing his presence and traversing the high-altitude gale layer, he returned to Biling Island, over 30 million miles away from Silver Shark Island, in just over a month.

His cultivation combined with secret techniques allowed him to appear and disappear without a trace,

without even needing to worry about being tracked.

As soon as he entered the underground spiritual veins of Biling Island, two large white spiders pounced on him. Upon approaching Han Li, they immediately lowered their heads and rubbed against his trouser legs.

“Alright, Little Ling and Little Xing.”

The two little ones were the Blood Jade Spiders he had deliberately left in the underground mines of Biling Island.

At this moment, the two little guys possessed extremely strong cultivation auras,

already at the peak of the seventh level.

Moreover, their auras were even superior to their elder brothers, Little White and Little Jade.

“These two, nurtured within the Spirit Eye Lake, indeed have higher talent and potential.”

Afterward,

he took out the Invisible Needle magic weapon from the middle-aged Lan family and the Invisible Needle inheritance from Old Monster Qiong, and began to study them.

Old Monster Qiong’s inheritance recorded that the highest masterpiece of the Invisible Needle was a set of twenty-seven interconnected Invisible Needles.

The next best was a set of nine.

Secondly, there are three.

The most basic is one.

Even Qiong Laoguai himself, limited by the demanding materials and the limits of his own divine sense and magic power, only managed to gather two sets of six invisible needle magic treasures in over two hundred years. This is one of his greatest sources of confidence in dealing with Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

As for the middle-aged man of the Lan family?

After decades of struggling, he only managed to refine one invisible needle thanks to the family’s financial support.

As for Han Li,

“My divine sense and magic power can certainly control nine invisible needles simultaneously, and controlling twenty-seven at the same time is no problem…”

“And the refining materials I prepared…”

Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the high-quality magic treasure materials left behind by the Lord of the Forbidden Land.

He took one-tenth of them.

That’s right.

One-tenth was enough.

Then, he followed the example and began refining.

This was not a difficult task.

Moreover, he had years of forging experience accumulated in the spiritual veins of Biling Island and years of improving his refining skills, and he had enough room for trial and error.

More than half a year later.

A complete set of twenty-seven invisible flying needles was completed.

“Taking one as the origin, the Lesser Three Talents can form an array, nine forms the Greater Three Talents array, and twenty-seven is the ultimate deduction by Old Monster Qiong…”

Old Monster Qiong, what a pity.

If he could have formed his Nascent Soul, he could most likely have become a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert.

Brothers, please give me your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets! I’m relying on these tickets to maintain the facade.

It’s too difficult.
