A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 206

Chapter 202 The situation is unpredictable and ever-changing.

“Well done, Qingyi Jushi! Well done, the Demonic Path! They actually hid a Nascent Soul cultivator among a group of Core Formation cultivators? Good, good, good, good calculation…”

Tian Wuzi watched the scholar-robed old man who had taken the ancient copper coin, then flicked his sleeves and withdrew from the battle.

His senior brother Tian Yuanzi’s tortoise was put back into his spirit beast pouch.

On the other side, the dark-skinned old man, after defeating Ji Yin and putting away the white ancient pendant, shook his head:

“A miscalculation, a miscalculation.”

Who could have imagined that the Demonic Path had a fourth Nascent Soul cultivator?

Initially, they were more worried about Madam Wen getting involved in the inner hall’s struggle. Unexpectedly, Madam Wen’s move was just a feint; the real blow came from this unknown, unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator in front of them.

“Ji Yin, your Demonic Path is still a cut above the rest.”

The dark-skinned old man said admiringly.

Of course,

he only admitted to losing the overall battle, but in terms of individual combat, he was slightly better than Ji Yin. Sure

enough, the white ancient pendant that flew out of the Void Heaven Cauldron had already been obtained by him.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yin’s already gloomy face became even more unsightly, so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

At this moment, he was undoubtedly as surprised as Wan Tianming and the other two.

“Damn it.”

Damn it.

Nascent Soul stage? How could it be the Nascent Soul stage?

The Nascent Soul figure within his body was already contorted and twisted with rage.

He was not only furious that the ancient treasure had been snatched away by the dark-skinned old man in front of him, but also enraged that Han Li had concealed his cultivation level without his knowledge.

After all, if Han Li were a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, he, as the “master,” would naturally not be able to demand the Wolf-Head Jade Ruyi and a large number of puppet parts from that so-called “precious disciple.”

Just thinking about how he had worked for others along the way, actively helping to clean up the puppets in the inner hall, filled him with a burning rage.

The thought that the treasures he had initially given away, such as the Bodhi Pearl and the Profound Yin Ring, would likely be lost forever filled him with heartache and a feeling of wanting to vomit blood.

The thought that all his previous calculations had failed, and that he had been made a fool of by this suddenly appearing Nascent Soul cultivator and the barbarian, filled him with shame and indignation.

“Outrageous! Outrageous!”

However,

he couldn’t show his displeasure yet.

He had to smile and watch the barbarian and Han Li.

Because if he turned against them now, all his previous silent investment would be wasted. The treasures he could retrieve from the Void Heaven Cauldron would also be out of his reach.

Therefore, he had to endure. He

absolutely had to endure.

Even if he wished the barbarian and the other party would die, even if he cursed their despicable behavior in his heart, at least on his face, he had to remain calm, appear enlightened, and even show understanding and appreciation.

In short, he had to appear pleased, not displeased.

And for him, wasn’t this another kind of torment?

As for the most bewildered person in the entire room? It

was naturally Wu Chou.

“Nascent Soul stage? Han Li is actually a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?”

At this moment, Wu Chou’s face turned deathly pale.

Did he just yell at an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage? Did he even order the other party to hand over the ancient treasures he had obtained? Before that, he even revealed his covetousness for Yuan Yao to his ancestor in front of the other party?

Thinking of this, a chill ran down Wu Chou’s spine, and he shivered.

He then silently hid behind his grandfather, the Extreme Yin Ancestor, behind the two Heavenly Capital Corpses.

As the only Core Formation stage cultivator in the entire room, he just wanted to be invisible.

…

“Surprised? Unexpected?”

Someone deliberately sent a secret telepathic greeting.

Wu Chou was so frightened that his scalp tingled, and he felt as if his soul had flown away.

…

Wu Chou, just a clown in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Everyone knows his background. A

mere ant, not worth mentioning.

Easily killed in one or two moves.

For the three righteous cultivators, such a small fry is not worth their attention.

They are currently only troubled by Wan Tianming’s loss of his physical body.

That is the real problem.

“Barbarian Beard, what do you intend to do?”

In the arena, Wan Tianming, holding the Five-Colored Heaven-Mending Pill, had a face full of resentment.

“What do you think?”

At this moment, Han Li had already brought Barbarian Beard’s physical body and reunited with Barbarian Beard’s Nascent Soul.

Barbarian Beard, whose Nascent Soul had returned to his body, twisted his neck, feeling even more confident about certain people and certain things:

“Now, I’ll count to three. If you don’t throw the Heaven-Mending Pill over, I will destroy your physical body. You should know very well what the consequences will be.”

“One…”

“Two…”

Barbarian Beard gave Wan Tianming no room for bargaining or careful consideration.

“Wait!”

Han Li called out in time.

“What’s wrong?”

Barbarian Beard asked, puzzled.

“Make them hand over that ancient pendant as well. After all, on our side, only Fellow Daoist Wu hasn’t gained anything yet. Let’s give that ancient pendant to Brother Wu.”

Upon hearing Han Li’s words, Ji Yin was stunned on the spot, then secretly delighted, his previous resentment lessening considerably.

“Fellow Daoist Yuan, I suppose you don’t want Sect Master Wan to have any accidents, right? If Sect Master Wan unfortunately perishes this time, it will all be your fault.”

This moral blackmail made the dark-skinned old man extremely uncomfortable.

He had fought for the white ancient pendant; why should he hand it over?

But he couldn’t help but consider the many consequences that would result from Wan Tianming losing his physical body.

“Tsk tsk, brilliant.”

Not greedy, not dissatisfied. This threat was just right.

The barbarian bearded man, who was in a good mood, suddenly stopped worrying.

As long as Wan Tianming’s physical body was in his hands, why would he be afraid that the Heaven-Mending Pill would run away?

Furthermore, as long as the level-four Blood Jade Spider is still there, they can continue to open the cauldron to retrieve treasures.

Therefore, even if he misses out on this Heaven-Mending Pill, he can still open the cauldron to retrieve treasures again.

“Sect Master Wan, Yuan, what’s your decision? I don’t have time to waste here with you.”

“One, two…”

The barbarian’s counting voice rang out again, like a death knell.

“Fellow Daoist Yuan, give them the ancient pendant, and I’ll give you another high-grade ancient treasure later.”

Wan Tianming’s Nascent Soul gritted his teeth.

The dark-skinned old man felt relieved upon hearing the telepathic transmission.

“Alright, here you go.”

As he spoke, he took out the white ancient pendant from his storage bag and threw it at Han Li.

Wan Tianming, on the other hand, threw out a five-colored Heaven-Mending Pill.

Seeing this, Man Hu Zi and Han Li, one to catch the pendant and the other to catch the pill,

respectively. Ji Yin, who had been eagerly awaiting the ancient treasure, was immediately displeased to see it thrown at Man Hu Zi and Han Li instead.

Anyone with eyes could see that the righteous path was using this opportunity to sow discord among the four demonic cultivators

. They wanted to use this highly spiritual, high-level ancient treasure to undermine their unity and cooperation.

This was an open scheme,

not particularly clever.

However, to the surprise of the three righteous cultivators, Han Li didn’t throw the pendant at Ji Yin’s location; instead, he grabbed it directly.

This caused Ji Yin’s expectant smile to vanish instantly.

His heart sank again, like a rollercoaster.

“How could this be?”

the three righteous cultivators wondered.

Were the four demonic cultivators truly only outwardly friendly but inwardly hostile?

“Opportunity.”

“Attack.”

Just then, Tian Wuzi and the thin, dark-skinned old man exchanged a glance and acted again.

Qing Yi sensed something and immediately warned,

“Be careful, they’re going to kill the Blood Jade Spider and the alien fire python!”

“Quick, stop them!”

Qing Yi in his scholar’s robe and Ji Yin in his black robe were both extremely anxious.

But it was too late .

Admittedly, Nascent Soul cultivators are incredibly fast, and it’s generally difficult to hit an opponent in a fight between Nascent Soul cultivators, but no Nascent Soul cultivator would willingly become a meat shield for a spirit beast.

Thus,

under the indifferent gaze of the bearded man, the bloodshot eyes of Ji Yin, the great regret of Qing Yi, and the horrified gaze of Wu Chou…

and under Han Li’s unexpected but eagerly awaited…

several Nascent Soul level attacks struck the Blood Jade Spider and the two alien fire pythons, which were being dragged along by the Void Heaven Cauldron and unable to move.

The violent spiritual energy tore through the Blood Jade Spider, causing the several-zhang-tall Blood Jade Spider to be instantly torn to pieces, beyond any hope of survival. Furthermore, the corpses were in extremely poor condition, beyond repair even by the secret techniques of corpse control, making them unusable even with temporary restoration.

“Clang…”

The Void Cauldron, having lost its pulling force, crashed back into the cave below, carrying with it the azure ice flames, causing the entire platform to tremble violently.

The two alien fire pythons were dragged by the recoil and fell directly into the deep pit in the center of the platform, instantly engulfed by the azure ice flames.

Now, Ji Yin couldn’t even collect the corpses of his own spirit pets.

“Tian Wuzi, you…bastards!”

Ji Yin was furious, his eyes bloodshot.

“Wan Tianming, you let Tian Wuzi and that Yuan fellow do this, aren’t you afraid I’ll destroy your physical body?” The bearded man

, holding the refined middle-aged body, spoke coldly.

Wan Tianming’s nascent soul immediately shook his head in denial:

“I didn’t intervene; I even used telepathy to dissuade them.”

Telepathy?

What a dissuadement! “Damn,

she seems to be stopping me, but she’s actually reminding me, isn’t she? “

everyone thought to themselves.

“Barbarian Beard, I’ve given you the Heaven-Mending Pill, and that ancient pendant too. Shouldn’t you return my physical body to me now?”

“Forget it, forget it. What I’ve gained this time is enough,” Barbarian

Beard grinned.

He had the Heaven-Mending Pill in his hands; he had achieved his biggest goal. So why should he fight to the death?

Besides, if he really killed Wan Tianming, that crazy woman, Aunt Wan, would hunt him down to the ends of the earth.

He couldn’t possibly defeat Aunt Wan, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Come to think of it, weren’t the three of them the ones who had figured this out, understanding his intention not to continue the fight, which was why they had the courage to kill the Blood Jade Spider and the alien fire python?

“Alright, alright, here’s your physical body back,”

Barbarian Beard said, preparing to throw Wan Tianming’s body out.

But Han Li intervened a second time:

“Wait!”

“Hmm?”

What now?

“They, the righteous path, killed my Blood Jade Spider, ruining our chance to continue obtaining treasures. How can we just let it go like this? I think we should use Sect Master Wan’s storage bag as a small compensation.”

With that, he snatched the storage bag from Wan Tianming’s physical body.

“You dare?”

Wan Tianming’s expression changed drastically.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? If you want my storage bag back, then you’d better compensate me with a level four Blood Jade Spider first!”

Han Li said in a deep voice.

“My Blood Jade Spider, it died so tragically…”

“My Void Heaven Cauldron’s secret treasure, I can no longer open it…”

“Wan Tianming, tell me, should I seek compensation from you three righteous path members for my losses?”

As he spoke, he pulled down three treasures hidden in Wan Tianming’s sleeve.

These were a mirror, a personal pendant, and a token.

Since these three treasures were all ancient artifacts, they couldn’t be carried by Wan Tianming’s nascent soul like a natal magic weapon.

Therefore…

Many treasures, including the Xuanhuang Mirror, fell into Han Li’s hands, becoming compensation for the Blood Jade Spider’s death.

“You…”

“Fellow Daoist, leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. Don’t go too far.”

After his Nascent Soul returned to his physical body, Wan Tianming, knowing he was in the wrong, still tried to argue with a dark face.

His response was Han Li taking out the Xuanhuang Mirror, ready to activate it at any moment:

“Sect Leader Wan, would you like to experience what it’s like to be reflected by the Xuanhuang Mirror?”

The three righteous cultivators immediately fell silent.

They knew how powerful the Xuanhuang Mirror was.

Especially Wan Tianming, who was intimately familiar with its specific power, and immediately felt a pang of pain in his heart, his breath catching in his throat.

“Hahaha…”

Seeing this, the bearded man burst into laughter, then stood firmly beside Han Li.

Seeing this, Qingyi also came closer.

Only Jiyin was in the most awkward position.
