A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 197

Chapter 193 Unexpected Turn of Events, Big Gift Package

the fierce and hostile gaze of the barbarian bearded man, the three, including Gan Rushuang, secretly sensed something was wrong.

The three immediately transformed into three streaks of light—one yellow and two red—and rushed towards the inner hall of the stone tower. Once inside, there would be a chance.   ”Still trying to leave?”   The barbarian bearded man sneered, about to unleash three beams of light to kill the three.   The struggle for the Void Heaven Palace within the inner hall was absolutely crucial; it wasn’t unheard of for Nascent Soul cultivators to fight to the death while Core Formation cultivators took advantage of the situation.   Therefore, it would be easier to kill these three unidentified late-stage Core Formation cultivators.   The three righteous cultivators should understand his good intentions.   Furthermore, with the inner hall officially open, the restrictions in this area no longer limited cultivators’ actions. His clearing the area now wouldn’t be hindered by the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace.   But just then, Han Li suddenly spoke up, reminding him:   ”Senior Man, it’s better to keep them alive than to kill them. We can make them hand over part of their primordial spirit, imprison them with a God-Suppressing Token, and then let them go to the inner hall to retrieve the treasure. In the end, the treasure you get will be yours, Senior.”   At the same time, he also transmitted his voice to Man Hu Zi:   ”Ji Yin definitely has a God-Suppressing Token. If you don’t have one, just send a voice message to ask him for one or two.”   ”By the way, Brother Man, keep that girl. She’s one of my people.”   He had one thing on the surface and another   on the surface . He was using a two-pronged approach.   Upon hearing this, Man Hu Zi’s eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to be deep in thought.   As a result, his attack method changed.   Initially, he planned to strike first and kill the three of them with three streams of light. Now, he changed it to taking a single step and using a teleportation ability comparable to that of a Grandmaster of the Primordial Realm. In a flash, he overtook the three people who had escaped with light and blocked the door of the inner hall.   Immediately afterward, a colossal golden giant, tens of meters tall, rose from the ground, its imposing body completely blocking the gate.   It then extended its massive hands, one on each side, towards the two male cultivators at the late Core Formation stage.   The two reacted swiftly, their escape light momentarily halting as they tried to fly back.   But they simultaneously heard the barbarian’s heavy, cold snort.   This snort caused their consciousness to freeze for a moment.   When they regained their senses, they were already gripped by the barbarian’s two massive hands, one on each side.   ”What?”   ”Not good!”   They struggled desperately, but no matter what they did, they couldn’t break free.   ”Behave yourselves. If it weren’t for this young friend pleading for you just now, allowing me to see the last bit of value you possess, you two would already be dead.”   The barbarian grinned as he looked at the two men captured by the golden body.   Looking at Gan Rushuang, who stood frozen in place, drenched in cold sweat and too afraid to move, the beautiful woman felt her mouth go dry and her heart pound like a drum.   ”Senior…”   ”Alright, enough nonsense. Hand over one-third of your primordial spirit, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”   ”But Senior doesn’t have any divine-suppressing tokens…”   Upon hearing this, Man Huzi looked at Ji Yin: “Give me two.”   ”Brother Man, how could I have any?”   Ji Yin initially tried to refuse.   ”Hmm?”   Man Huzi raised an eyebrow, his expression turning unfriendly.   Ji Yin, helpless and seeing he couldn’t refuse, reached into his storage bag and tossed over two tokens:   ”Mere Core Formation cultivators trying to infiltrate the inner palace and fish in troubled waters? I think these two are tired of living. Brother Man, it’s easier to kill these rats than keep them alive.”   Kill them?   How could he possibly kill them?   Man Huzi curled his lip.   He knew perfectly well what Ji Yin was up to.   This was probably because he saw that Man Hu had captured two excellent tools, so he was envious and jealous, thinking of making Man Hu destroy his own tools.   ”Don’t worry, I will let these two enter the inner hall and choose any stone house to break the seal and take the treasure. The treasures obtained will all be mine.”   Ji Yin smiled somewhat reluctantly upon hearing this.   His two Core Formation stage disciples died in the Ice and Fire Path.   Another late Core Formation stage disciple could not resist the temptation of the illusion and died in the Extremely Wonderful Illusion.   This time, he suffered heavy losses. On the other hand   , Man Hu came alone but was able to return with a full load.   He was truly filled with mixed feelings.   In short,   he was extremely unbalanced.   …   On the side of the righteous path, Wan Tianming and his two companions.   Tian Wuzi was extremely angry at what Man Hu had done.   ”Brother Wan, are we just going to watch this barbarian run rampant?”   ”Calm down. These three aren’t from our righteous path anyway, so let’s not cause trouble. We’re here to open the Void Heaven Cauldron and retrieve the treasure; everything else can wait. We just need to make sure they don’t get in the way when they enter the inner hall.”   ”This…”   Tian Wuzi was still somewhat displeased.   ”Brother Wan is right. Since they’re not from our righteous path, why should we help them? If we intervene, we’ll inevitably clash with the barbarian. But before we retrieve the treasure, we shouldn’t let him hold a grudge.”   Among the three, the most taciturn, the thin, dark-skinned old man also spoke up to advise Tian Wuzi.   ”Alright, I understand.”   Tian Wuzi of the Heavenly Mystery Sect had no choice but to suppress some of his righteous intentions.

…

At the entrance to the inner hall.

“You two aren’t deaf, you heard what that brat Ji Yin said, right?”

The bearded man looked at the two people he had imprisoned in his palm and transmitted his voice with a playful tone.

The two late-stage Core Formation cultivators naturally heard everything.

“Ji Yin wants you dead, while I only want you to help me get some things, purely for profit. The choice is yours. If you really don’t want to send part of your primordial spirit into these two divine-suppressing tablets, I won’t make things difficult for you; I’ll just hand you over to Ji Yin. I believe Ji Yin will treat you better.”

After transmitting his voice, he tossed the two aside and tossed one divine-suppressing tablet to them. He

tossed the other divine-suppressing tablet to Gan Rushuang.

His intention was self-evident.

He had checked these two divine-suppressing tablets; Ji Yin hadn’t tampered with them. Even if he had, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Since Ji Yin dared to play tricks on him, he didn’t mind being a little more ruthless and forceful when sending Ji Yin on his way.

The three Core Formation stage cultivators turned deathly pale.

Trembling, they accepted the Forbidden God Tokens, tears welling in their eyes.

If they surrendered a third of their primordial spirit, their lives would be entirely in the hands of the token holder.

If the token was damaged or destroyed, at best their primordial spirit would be severely injured, their minds clouded, leaving them mentally impaired. In severe cases, they would go mad and die in a frenzy.

Furthermore, those with incomplete primordial spirits and clouded minds could never form a Nascent Soul. They

had absolutely no chance.

At this moment, the three were filled with despair.

“Don’t look so miserable, it’s annoying. Hmph, I never said I’d keep your Forbidden God Tokens. After we leave this Void Heaven Palace, you will hand over everything you’ve obtained, and I will return your primordial spirits in full. This is my greatest sincerity.”

“Senior, is this true?”

The three were overjoyed.

“I always keep my word, unlike some hypocrites who say one thing and do another,”

the bearded man said meaningfully.

“Hmph.”

Wan Tianming and the other two snorted coldly in unison, then turned their heads away, not even glancing in their direction again.

Seeing this, Gan Rushuang and the other two knew they had no choice. To survive, for a sliver of hope, they had to surrender parts of their primordial spirits. Afterwards, they would have to complete the barbarian’s task and fulfill his demands.

The barbarian took the two male cultivators’ divine-suppressing tokens, then took Gan Rushuang’s, and amidst the puzzled gazes of many, tossed Gan Rushuang’s token to Yanli.

Yanli then passed it to Han Li.

“?”

Han Li didn’t say much, accepting the token.

However, Gan Rushuang’s eyes changed.

A renewed vitality returned.

Her lips moved, and she pursed them, unsure what to say.

She knew that the primordial spirit she had surrendered wouldn’t cause any problems.

And that was enough, wasn’t it?

…

“We’ve been delayed for so long, and those two from the Star Palace still haven’t appeared. Shouldn’t we leave?”

Wan Tianming urged.

Upon hearing this, Barbarian Beard frowned slightly, then transmitted his voice to Han Li:

“Brother Xiao, are you mistaken? Perhaps the two from Star Palace don’t actually know the teleportation array here?”

It turned out that Barbarian Beard hadn’t suddenly become clever; rather, Han Li had revealed the information beforehand.

“Be patient. How much time has passed? Anyway, we still have over half a month to search for treasure in the inner palace. We don’t need that much time. Advise Wan Tianming and the other two to wait another two hours. By the way, prepare to attack. As soon as the teleportation array lights up, and those two arrive, you six Nascent Soul cultivators should go all out. Even if you can’t wipe out Ximen and his companion in one fell swoop, you can still give them a big surprise…”

Having just teleported over, they were met with several Nascent Soul cultivators waiting

in full force… The two from Star Palace would surely be overjoyed.

“Will it work?”

“The Reverse Star Alliance has been secretly established, and the two leading figures are the Myriad Laws Sect. Guess what Wan Tianming’s attitude is towards these two from the Star Palace? As long as you tell him that Ji Yin and you are both members of it, he won’t disagree.”

As long as there’s a real chance to scheme against the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Palace, Wan Tianming and the others will definitely not refuse.

This is a rare opportunity to clip the wings of the Star Palace.

“Okay, I’ll try again.”

And as Han Li expected, upon hearing the name of the Reverse Star Alliance, Wan Tianming and the others’ expressions changed.

The next moment, except for Qing Yi Jushi, the other five Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly started chatting and laughing, as if they had become a family.

It was that abstract.

Qing Yi: “What’s going on?”

…

“The two from the Star Palace, my grand gift is ready. Are you ready to receive it?”

Han Li’s gaze was fixed on the location of the teleportation array.

…

Another hour or so passed.

The originally dim teleportation array suddenly brightened up again.

“They really came?!”
