A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 226

Chapter 222 You don’t know you’re wrong, you just know you’re going to die.

months later.

The group of four traveled thousands of miles to a monster island 20 million miles south of Silver Shark Island.

Of the dozens of monster islands in the outer sea, Silver Shark Island was the northernmost.

However, he wasn’t going to be foolish enough to return to Tianxing City via Silver Shark Island.

Those who know, know.

With plenty of time, it was much safer to go to another monster island.

To this end, he also taught the three women the “Nameless Concealing Breath Technique” and the “Shape-Changing Technique” from the Profound Yin Scripture, allowing them to disguise themselves as late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Han Li himself was in the early-stage Core Formation stage.

It was simply too conspicuous for three Nascent Soul cultivators to lead one Core Formation cultivator.

One early-stage Core Formation cultivator leading three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators wasn’t so eye-catching.

As they entered the White Fish Island area, the number of cultivators they encountered gradually increased.

The outer area, spanning millions of miles, was mostly inhabited by Core Formation cultivators.

These high-level cultivators mainly hunted high-level monsters.

Their aura of killing intent was the most concentrated.

Even with only the half-finished Mingqing Spirit Eyes, one could clearly see the thick layer of ferocious aura emanating from the demon-hunting cultivators.

Just as the four began to slow their escape and travel more peacefully, three Core Formation cultivators, who had formed a team, approached them uninvited.

From afar, they transmitted their voices:

“Fellow Daoists, would you be interested in hunting demons together? The three of us have discovered an injured Level 6 Fire Dragon several thousand miles away, and we only need one more cultivator of the same level to form a Four Elements Formation. If we can successfully form a killing formation, we can definitely trap and kill it.”

The three women looked at him strangely.

“No, we have important matters to attend to. If the three of you are short of people, you can find other Daoists.”

Han Li politely declined and then ignored them, continuing his flight with the three women.

“Fellow Daoists, we have been waiting here for several days in order to find someone of the same level. Since we have met you, it is fate. Moreover, time waits for no one, and the injured Fire Dragon may go elsewhere at any time, so we must not delay any longer.”

The three caught up and continued to persuade him to stay.

Their escape techniques were three times faster than ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

This meant that Han Li, carrying the three women in his flying boat, couldn’t immediately shake them off.

“The three of you shouldn’t force yourselves, lest misunderstandings arise,”

Han Li sighed softly.

He simply stopped the flying boat.

Upon seeing this, two of the three behind him were overjoyed.

The other one became suspicious.

Instinctively, he reduced his speed.

Because he felt something was amiss.

“Fellow Daoist, it must be very tiring for you to protect three female cultivators all by yourself, right?”

“Yes, why don’t we team up and help you protect them?”

The two flying in front said, grinning maliciously.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this.

Originally, encountering such Tribulation Cultivators, he adhered to the principle of “better safe than sorry,” not wanting to interfere or bully the weak.

As long as they didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t do anything to these Tribulation Cultivators.

But sometimes, being low-key and yielding doesn’t bring peace.

There’s a road to heaven, but these three won’t take it.

There’s no gate to hell, but they bravely venture in.

This is truly ironic…

“Forget it.”

Let’s just kill them.

A small gift package for Core Formation cultivators delivered to your door, why not take it? Even a mosquito’s leg is meat.

He immediately spread his divine sense throughout, covering an area of nearly four hundred miles. After

confirming that there were no outsiders in this area, he glanced back at the three women and casually instructed,

“Go, one for each of you.”

As for himself, he didn’t move again from beginning to end.

There was no need for him to do anything.

Wasn’t the purpose of the three sword servants to share his burdens?

Gan Rushuang, who had been itching to make a move, released the Vermilion Bird Ring from her hand after receiving the signal.

Upon seeing the magic weapon Vermilion Bird Ring, the three who had been chasing after him were immediately stunned.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t he just a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

How did he suddenly become…

“A Nascent Soul stage ancestor?!”

All three of them showed expressions of horror.

The one who had deliberately slowed down a step behind turned around and ran away without saying a word.

What the hell!

He had felt that something was wrong.

It turned out to be a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in disguise.

Escape.

Run!

He desperately hoped to escape this calamity.

His life essence burned…

Escape!

Blood Escape Technique!

This man was so anxious he was almost crying, filled with regret. He burned his life essence with all his might, sparing no effort.

Good heavens, three Nascent Soul cultivators.

That’s three!

Three!

What did the three of them have to deserve such bad luck?

“Hmph, since you’re here, don’t leave.”

Yanli and Yuanyao weren’t slow either.

Yanli raised her hand and summoned five rings of different colors.

They were the Five Elements Rings.

The Five Elements Rings left her hand, spun around, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When they reappeared, they were already on the back of the group, the first to try to escape.

One ring was on each of their limbs, and another around their neck.

The Five Elements Rings could restrict the true essence of magic power within the five elements, making it difficult for cultivators to mobilize their internal magic power.

Once someone was ringed, they were almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

On the other side.

Gan Rushuang wanted to kill one and capture the other alive.

As the Vermilion Bird Ring was unleashed, a magical chain lashed out at the second person.

However,

Yuan Yao’s attack, though delayed, arrived first.

The fiery beauty took out an ancient pipa, her jade fingers gently plucking the strings, and the sound of the pipa entered the ears of the two men:

“The three of you, perhaps you should stay.”

In an instant, the two early-stage Core Formation cultivators were stunned, their eyes becoming glazed.

They were instantly hallucinated by the sound of the pipa, pulled into an illusion.

Exquisite Ancient Treasure: Illusionary Sound Pipa.

The strings possess hallucinogenic effects.

This treasure is one of the exquisite ancient treasures acquired from the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion of the Void Heaven Palace.

If used in conjunction with the ancient treasure drum in Yuan Yao’s hand, the effect would be even better.

Gan Rushuang, whose target had been stolen, raised an eyebrow slightly.

After taking a deep breath, she retrieved the Vermilion Bird Ring and the magic chain.

Compared to the two women’s abundant treasures, she was far too slow in some aspects, and was indeed at a disadvantage.

At this point, it seemed that all three Tribulation cultivators had been captured.

However, Han Li transmitted his voice to Yan Li, who had relaxed her vigilance:

“Your prey is about to escape.”

Yan Li was stunned upon hearing this.

She turned to look at the cultivator she had trapped with the Five Elements Rings, several miles away.

However, at this moment, the cultivator who had previously been unable to move and could only fall diagonally downwards into the sea with a splash due to inertia was actually using a water escape technique.

He seemed completely unaffected by the Five Elements Rings.

“What happened?”

Not only Yanli was puzzled, but Yuanyao was too.

“The Five Elements Ring doesn’t just imprison a cultivator’s spiritual energy and true essence; it also freezes a person in place, so they shouldn’t have fallen into the water. Also, look at where he’s bound by the Five Elements Ring. Isn’t there something blocking it?”

Upon hearing this, the three women immediately extended their divine senses.

The next moment, they noticed that the area bound by the Five Elements Ring was frozen by a thin layer of frost.

“Ice Armor Technique?”

“I see. It first uses the Ice Armor Technique to form a layer of ice armor on the skin’s surface, thus isolating the Five Elements Ring from imprisoning the mana and true essence.”

This person wasn’t completely imprisoned.

“In addition, the ancient treasure Five Elements Ring itself targets the five elements of spiritual energy. Although it has an effect on those with different spiritual roots, it will be greatly reduced…”

These two factors are the reason why the Five Elements Ring’s powerful imprisoning ability couldn’t be fully utilized.

Gan Rushuang pointed out the key to the matter.

Upon hearing this, Yanli’s pretty face flushed slightly.

She was familiar with the Ice Armor Technique.

It was merely a basic mid-level technique that ice-elemental cultivators could freely use.

It was very rare in cultivator duels because its defensive strength wasn’t high.

Unexpectedly, this cultivator had used it skillfully, giving her a stroke of luck.

Of course,

it was only a stroke of luck.

Locked on by the divine senses of three Nascent Soul cultivators, escape was impossible within a distance of over ten miles, whether in the sky or on the ground. Moreover, the Five Elements Ring wasn’t entirely useless. However,

this experience taught Yuan Yaoyan a lesson. It warned the two not to be too superstitious about their ancient treasures.

This person might have just gotten lucky.

But those cunning Nascent Soul cultivators might use these small details to their advantage.

They mustn’t be caught off guard.

…

Before long, all three were captured alive.

“Senior, spare us, senior…”

“Senior, we know we were wrong, we will never be a tribulation cultivator again.”

“Seniors…”

The three cultivators woke up with faces full of despair.

Their magic power had been sealed, leaving them at the mercy of others.

“Know you were wrong?”

Han Li asked in surprise.

“Yes, yes, yes, the three of us know we were wrong. We have elderly parents and young children to support…”

The three wept bitterly, their will to survive strong.

“No, I think you don’t know you were wrong, but rather that you know you are going to die.”

Han Li narrowed his eyes.

“Moreover, you three are at the Core Formation stage, having young children is one thing, but having elderly parents… that’s very troubling for me!”

The elders at the Core Formation stage might very well be some Nascent Soul stage monsters.

The three: “…”

“Senior, that’s not what we meant.”

“Senior, we really know we were wrong.”

But Han Li was too lazy to pay attention to the three of them, and instead turned to Gan Rushuang and Yuan Yao:

“The three of us will each search the souls of one of the three of them to gather information.”

Three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, one person searching the soul of one prisoner, just right.

Gan Rushuang caught the person tossed to her and nodded without hesitation,

“Okay.”

She then promptly placed her jade-like hand on the unfortunate cultivator’s head.

Quite swiftly.

Yuan Yao, however, stiffened slightly for a moment.

Han Li noticed this but wasn’t surprised.

Clearly ,

Yuan Yao’s reaction stemmed from her lack of experience with carnage and brutal struggle, exhibiting a touch of womanly compassion. In the original timeline, having endured the Qingyang Sect’s pursuit and various trials, Yuan Yao’s unwavering Dao heart would have prevented any hesitation.

But in this timeline, she had been too well protected.

Therefore, Han Li specifically ordered her soul search.

The three of them, one person at a time, conducted the soul search.

Only in this way, only by letting Yuan Yao personally experience the soul search, feel it, and understand the sordid deeds of this cultivator, could her gentle and passionate heart be further protected.

To prevent this girl from becoming a pushover.

And the effect seems to be quite good.

Sure enough, after two or three hours of soul searching, Yuan Yao’s eyes were no longer the “foolish clarity” they initially had.

Compared to when she came out of the Void Heaven Palace, they had changed a lot.

They were much sharper.

“Indeed, Nascent Soul Soul Search is the quickest way to rapidly transform a person’s state of mind.”

Han Li, watching from the side, thought to himself.

He also wanted to keep Yuan Yao and Yanli by his side, but that might not be realistic.

If they didn’t follow the path of ghost cultivation, the two women had to learn to stand on their own first.

“How do you feel?”

Han Li smiled at Gan Rushuang and Yuan Yao.

“These few Tribulation Cultivators who have harmed many people, I believe, should be executed.”

Gan Rushuang’s tone was calm.

Yuan Yao pursed her lips, slightly ashamed:

“Husband, thank you.”

She wasn’t stupid, how could she not understand her man’s good intentions?

Actually, at first, it wasn’t that she couldn’t bear to deal with these three obviously Tribulation Cultivators, the scum of the cultivation world, but rather that she was somewhat unaccustomed to the methods of the Nascent Soul stage.

Directly searching souls is still too crude.

“Search a few more souls, you’ll get used to it.”

Soul searching shouldn’t be used too often, but it shouldn’t be left unused either.

“Also, you should cover your faces a bit more, you’re still too beautiful,”

Han Li said helplessly.

As he spoke, he casually collected three storage bags.

The three women had actually used a shape-changing technique to alter their appearances, making them relatively ordinary.

But in the eyes of outsiders, they were still top-tier beauties.

Especially with their three different temperaments combined, they were even more captivating.

Moreover, Han Li’s unremarkable appearance served as a stark contrast.

…

A million miles were covered in a short time.

Entering the million-mile radius of White Fish Island’s waters, this area became predominantly populated by Foundation Establishment cultivators and was more active. Some of these cultivators formed demon-hunting teams to hunt demons together, while others, skilled and daring, acted as lone wolves or solitary adventurers.

Within the 300,000-mile range, even Qi Refining cultivators could be seen one after another.

“Young Master, shall we directly take the teleportation array back to Tianxing City?”

Gan Rushuang tucked

a strand of hair behind her ear, brushing it aside.

Han Li smiled and shook his head:

“No rush. Those three Tribulation cultivators have been gone from White Fish Island for almost half a year. In other words, they haven’t updated the situation in Tianxing City for half a year. Let’s inquire around on White Fish Island and see what’s going on before making a decision.”

Afterwards, the four of them split up,

each searching for inns and shops on the island to gather information, before reuniting to summarize their findings.
