A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 222

Chapter 218 Gan Rushuang’s Secret

“How are you feeling?”

Beside Gan Rushuang, Han Li withdrew his gaze from Yuan Yao’s cave.

Yuan Yao had already completed the Shattering Core and Condensing Nascent Soul stage, only the inner demon hurdle remained.

And the inner demon hurdle, in the blink of an eye, influenced by the rules of this world, usually ended in an instant.

Outside, it was only a moment.

But within the inner demon world, many years might have passed.

Outsiders couldn’t interfere at all.

If Yuan Yao succeeded, everyone would be happy.

If she failed, he had already done his best.

Therefore, he was now concerned about Gan Rushuang’s state of mind.

He hoped she wouldn’t get emotional because of this unexpected rise to power, and wouldn’t leave any unresolved issues due to momentary mental turmoil.

After all, this woman’s apparent talent and previous cultivation were still superior to Yuan Yao’s, especially her talent, which was clearly far superior.

Yet, she had been overtaken.

An ordinary female cultivator might not be able to maintain her composure.

But Grandma Gan was indeed Grandma Gan; what storms hadn’t she weathered?

Even on the battlefield of Jin Gu Yuan, a bloody path could be carved out.

“What do you mean, ‘how about’?”

Gan Rushuang raised an eyebrow.

“Seeing Yuan Yao form her Nascent Soul, do you have any thoughts?”

Thoughts?

“When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.”

The woman’s tone was extremely calm.

It seemed that she didn’t take Yuan Yao’s Nascent Soul formation to heart at all.

In fact, her fighting spirit not only didn’t diminish, but her heroic spirit increased instead.

“Your thoughts… are quite interesting.”

“Isn’t that how it is?”

What other thoughts could she have besides this?

Gan Rushuang blinked, then smiled:

“Don’t worry, young master, I’m not that petty. And thank you for your concern…”

Having his thoughts exposed, Han Li wasn’t embarrassed, but smiled knowingly and nodded slightly:

“Very well.”

He had underestimated this woman.

…

Yuan Yao also passed through the inner demon test with lingering fear.

Fortunately, both the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill and the Bodhi Bead took effect, allowing her to instantly regain her senses in the world of inner demons. She then decisively severed those illusions, whether sad or beautiful, and defeated her inner demons in time.

“Junior Sister, what did you experience with your inner demons? Why do you seem so scared?”

Yanli asked curiously.

“Senior Sister, you must be careful when you face your inner demon tribulation in the future. And, it’s best if we don’t stay together; I’ll transfer my power to you beforehand…”

“Huh?”

Yanli was stunned.

Her questioning gaze seemed to ask, “Why?”

Yuan Yao, on the other hand, was still filled with lingering fear.

Because during her inner demon tribulation, she encountered several extremely challenging tests of her willpower.

First, when her senior sister was forming her nascent soul, she tried to steal all her cultivation.

At that time, temporarily losing some important memories in the world of inner demons, she was completely bewildered.

Why?

Wouldn’t it have been better to help her senior sister after she had overcome her own tribulation?

Why did her senior sister betray her?

Years of getting along, years of close intimacy, and it turned out to be all a deception? Her heartfelt devotion was met with betrayal; had her heart been ripped out?

At that moment, she couldn’t understand, she simply couldn’t. She

almost became withdrawn.

Her Dao heart almost shattered.

Fortunately, the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill took effect, granting her a brief period of clarity, allowing her to recover the “affected memories” from her inner demon tribulation, and discovering some oddities about that “senior sister.”

It was because of this that she persevered.

Afterwards,

in a new inner demon illusion,

her husband betrayed her, intending to use her and Yanli for sustenance.

He was only raising them to exploit them.

“My husband isn’t that bad.”

“If he wanted to exploit us, he would have started at the Core Formation stage.”

Believing this, she could overcome the obstacle.

Then, in

another inner demon illusion,

when she and her sister were at the Qi Refining stage, they weren’t lucky enough to encounter their husband on Kui Xing Island; instead, they had to find another way.

During the years she was temporarily separated from her senior sister, she fortuitously achieved Foundation Establishment.

Senior Sister Yanli was deceived by a powerful second-generation member of the demonic sect, tricked into returning to her sect.

This man was extremely handsome, with a dashing demeanor and extensive knowledge, a rarity among independent cultivators, making a very good first impression on Senior Sister. He showered her with sweet words and promises, such as swearing an oath to grant her the status and benefits of a dual cultivation partner.

However, once back at the sect, he immediately reneged on his promise, turning on

her as a vessel for his sexual exploits.

Senior Sister was trapped, utterly helpless.

Years later, when she encountered her again, Senior Sister was incredibly haggard, having become a plaything of that demonic second-generation member.

What saddened and terrified her even more was that Senior Sister had deceived her!

She had been tricked and almost returned to the demonic sect with the second-generation member!

Once caught in that trap, she would undoubtedly suffer the same tragic fate.

Fortunately, she resisted the temptation and regained a sliver of clarity, ultimately ignoring the promises made by the second-generation demonic cultivator.

The fourth scenario that led her astray was when her husband, Han Li, discovered that her senior sister possessed a special constitution that allowed her to rapidly advance her cultivation by practicing specific techniques.

In contrast , she

had no such special constitution.

Therefore, she was abandoned.

Her senior sister also gave up on her. She was so heartbroken

that she almost despaired and

nearly gave up on herself.

Fortunately, her indomitable spirit helped her regain her strength and break free from the illusion of her inner demons.

These kinds of mental trials are terrifying.

A single moment of carelessness could lead to the invasion of inner demons and the annihilation of one’s soul.

The vast difference between the Nascent Soul and Core Formation stages is not without reason.

Fortunately,

everything was a test.

She endured the hardships and finally reaped the rewards.

She achieved Nascent Soul formation. She

became a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator. She

became one of the top figures in this world, capable of deciding the lives of countless cultivators at will.

“Finally, I’m no longer a burden…”

Yuan

Yao’s Nascent Soul formation is a cause for celebration.

However, newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators need time to consolidate their cultivation.

He didn’t disturb them.

Instead, he swept around Meteor Island to make sure no high-level demonic beasts were nearby causing trouble, and then took the Ink Dragon to another uninhabited island.

Demonic beasts don’t need spiritual veins to assist them in undergoing their transformation tribulation.

What they need to overcome is the tribulation lightning.

“Ready?”

The Ink Dragon nodded confidently, indicating that it had enough preparation.

Its confidence was unprecedentedly high.

“Alright.”

Han Li took out a handful of pills to restore mana and another handful to heal injuries, and fed them to the sixth brother.

Then, he took out a lightning-absorbing bead.

This lightning-absorbing bead came from the level eight transformed lightning whale.

It contained part of the power of the ninth tribulation lightning when the lightning whale underwent its tribulation.

“Go.”

Crack…

The tribulation lightning within the lightning-absorbing bead was released, striking the proud sixth brother directly.

At first, the dragon’s scales shone brightly, brimming with spiritual energy.

But the next moment:

“Awooo… Ouch! Ouch!

Ouch! I’m going to die!

I’m going to die! “

Struck by half of the tribulation lightning within the Thunder-Absorbing Pearl, the sixth dragon was instantly jolted violently, its brain going blank for three seconds.

What followed was excruciating pain coursing through its body, its entire body charred and emitting blue smoke, its scales losing their luster, and a deathly sense that made even its demonic soul tremble.

It felt as if its great-grandmother from the Flood Dragon Clan was beckoning to it.

“Awooo… Awooo…”

Master, I can’t take it.

I’m not ready.

Han Li, seeing the sixth dragon’s pathetic state, sighed inwardly.

This was nothing!

As a member of the Flood Dragon Clan, the sixth dragon’s tribulation lightning wouldn’t be weaker than the transformation tribulation lightning of an eighth-level Thunder Whale.

Previously, it had only faced a portion of the ninth transformation tribulation lightning, less than a fifth of the complete version, yet even that greatly diminished lightning had injured the sixth dragon, leaving it barely clinging to life.

If it faced the complete tribulation lightning, could it possibly survive?

“You good-for-nothing!”

Han Li cursed the sixth brother, then put away the Lightning Absorbing Pearl.

Confirming he wouldn’t have to undergo the lightning tribulation, the sixth brother was overjoyed.

He immediately came over, full of energy, and rubbed against Han Li’s leg:

“Awoo awoo…”

Master, you’re so good!

Han Li: “…”

The dragon he raised wasn’t a domineering dragon at all; it was clearly a silly husky.

“Alright, I’ll prepare some more for you.”

Next, the sixth brother obediently accepted the lightning tempering to increase his lightning resistance. At the same time, he continuously honed and tempered his physical body, strengthening his physique.

This guy’s transformation wasn’t in a hurry.

…

Several years later.

Gan Rushuang attempted to form her

Nascent Soul. Although the external items she prepared weren’t as abundant as Yuan Yao’s, she still had the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill, the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, and the Bodhi Pearl, and she also used a secret treasure made from Soul-Nourishing Wood to nourish her primordial spirit for a period of time.

Gan Rushuang didn’t disappoint him; she truly shattered her primordial core and formed her Nascent Soul in one go.

Han Li was very pleased with this.

What surprised him even more was that Gan Rushuang told him a secret.

A secret about the *Su Nu Reincarnation Technique*.

Part of this technique came from ancient cultivators.

Another part was Gan Rushuang’s own reading of numerous documents left by Nascent Soul cultivators, which she then adjusted, supplemented, and created based on her own circumstances, resulting in some unique auxiliary techniques.

“Young Master, do you know why I chose this technique back then?”

“For the benefits within the Blood Forbidden Land?”

Han Li smiled.

“That’s only part of the reason. Another reason is that my special physique is the same as the true creator of the technique. Therefore, as long as I follow the steps and supplement it with some necessary spiritual medicines, I can at least cultivate to the late Core Formation stage, and I have at least a 30% chance of replicating the path of that ancient predecessor and entering the Nascent Soul stage. Back then, during the era of the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom, becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator was my greatest dream.”

Gan Rushuang sighed slightly as she spoke.

Even she hadn’t expected that after seeing such a vast world, forming a Nascent Soul wouldn’t be as difficult as she’d imagined.

Especially after accepting the man before her.

Her journey had become even smoother.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this.

He thought of Lei Wanhe and Li Huayuan. Uncle Lei had toiled for so many years, all to reach the late stage of Core Formation.

Li Huayuan was even worse off. He’d wasted

thirty years, all for a single dragon’s inner core in the treacherous Panlong River. He’d spent

ten or twenty years refining iron, and a single gamble could send him back ten years.

Had these people ever considered forming a Nascent Soul?

They certainly had.

Yet, they struggled to even reach the late stage of Core Formation, or only barely managed to touch it.

“Ru Shuang, you called me so solemnly, you didn’t just want to tell me this, did you?”

“Of course not.”

Gan Ru Shuang then smoothed her hair and smiled gracefully.

“Oh? Then you…”

“Because my cultivation technique has always had a great secret.”

“A secret?”

“I know you have no shortage of cultivation resources, but encountering a bottleneck in cultivation is inevitable. My cultivation technique—to be precise, the one I cultivate—allows me, while my primordial yin is still intact, to greatly diminish my cultivation to help specific Nascent Soul cultivators break through their bottlenecks and advance further.”

“Hmm?”

Han Li narrowed his eyes.

What did he just hear?

Diminishing one’s own cultivation to help others break through bottlenecks? The

Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique can do that?

It feels…

like the Six Paths Supreme Saint’s Phoenix Cultivation Technique?

And the effect is very similar to the Ice Phoenix’s primordial yin.

“The Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique allows me to readjust the attributes of my magical power during each period of self-sealing. My constitution possesses both wood and fire attributes, meaning I can change my magical power from fire to wood…”

It’s similar to resetting skill points.

“Although there is some loss, it’s not much.”

“Young Master, you cultivate a wood-attribute technique. As long as I convert my magical power to wood during the reincarnation period and adjust my own magical power’s characteristics according to the characteristics of the magical power within your body, I can maximize the transfer of power.”

In other words, the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique can be considered a kind of “Wedding Dress Divine Technique. ”

“Of course, the premise is that it can only be done the first time! It can only be transferred to the person who stole my virginity!”

Because at that moment, the magical power within my body remembers the other person’s magical power attribute.

Only then can it be simulated 99%.

Without the virginity, this characteristic will completely fail.

Transferring power again is impossible.

Han Li: “…”
