A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 235

Chapter 231 What a fine fellow Daoist!

“Eh, this Profound Yin Scripture actually has so many exquisite methods? It’s practically an encyclopedia of the demonic path.”

“And this Azure Origin Sword Technique, not only does it have the ability to avoid the three stages of Core Formation, but it also has the Great Geng Sword Formation, which refines thirty-six sets of flying swords and uses the power of the sword formation to overcome superior forces?! Is this the sword formation that the Sect Master used to defeat his enemies? A sword formation that one person can set up, tsk tsk, truly exquisite!”

“This Buddhist cultivation method is also remarkable! It can actually be cultivated directly to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and it has all the great Buddhist supernatural powers…”

Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi exclaimed repeatedly.

Gan Rushuang, Yuan Yao, and Yan Li were also quite shocked.

“Sect Master, are you serious?” You

didn’t hold back at all?

“You are all founding elders of my Xuantian Sect, so naturally I have no reason to hold back. If I were to conceal everything from you, how could the Xuantian Sect ever claim to be the ‘Gateway to the Dao’? How could it accept both the righteous and demonic paths?”   Han Li smiled smugly.

“Furthermore, the Great Evolution Technique of this Divine Sense method is incomplete; I only possess the first four levels. The last three levels are lost; otherwise, it would be a top-tier technique.”   Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi’s eyes flickered with emotion.   They were truly shocked and moved.   Finally,   Barbarian Beard touched his storage bag and hesitantly pulled out a jade slip:   ”Ahem, these are the final three moves of the Heavenly Demon Art. However, even I, Barbarian Beard, haven’t mastered a single move yet. I wonder what level of cultivation is required to learn them? I initially hesitated to reveal them because I worried that future generations might try to learn too much and hinder   their own cultivation…” Barbarian Beard tried to justify his secrecy.   The reasoning was plausible.   Of course, anyone with a brain wouldn’t believe it.   Han Li took the jade slip, examined it, and his lips twitched:   ”The Grand Elder’s consideration for the younger disciples is truly commendable.”   ”Sect Master, you are indeed an upright person,”   Qing Yi praised, stroking his beard.   ”Hmph, Qing Yi, don’t tell me you didn’t hold anything back,”   the bearded man snorted.   This old ghost actually said the Sect Master was upright.   Was he, the bearded man, not straightforward?   If we’re talking about the most cunning of the three, it’s probably you, Qing Yi!   The old man in the green robe immediately spread his hands, empty-handed, a bitter smile appearing on his face:   ”Compared to the two of you, my inheritance is truly insignificant. It’s already the limit for me to cultivate to the mid-Nascent Soul stage; there are really no further methods.”   ”However…”   Qing Yi pondered for a moment, then finally took out a jade slip:   ”My method of concealment and stealth is passable. Against cultivators of the same level, I can even infiltrate within thirty or forty feet before being detected.”   Han Li took the jade slip and his eyes narrowed!   This method of concealment and stealth was indeed remarkable, possessing excellent concealment effects.   Could it be that Qing Yi relied on this method to silently follow Ji Yin without being detected in the original trajectory?   He remembered that Qing Yi was almost thirty feet away from Ji Yin and his original body before Ji Yin, the old demon, sensed him, right?   It should be noted that Ji Yin’s spiritual sense wasn’t weak among the early-Nascent Soul cultivators. Yet, Qing Yi still managed to get to such a dangerous distance. This demonstrates just how powerful this method of concealment and stealth truly is.   A mere thirty or forty feet is covered right under the noses of a high-level cultivator.   Yet Qing Yi still managed to remain perfectly hidden.   ”Such an exquisite stealth technique.”   ”He can fly away silently, creating a disturbance even lighter than a gentle breeze…”   ”No wonder cultivators of the same level are hard to detect.”   After comparing them, Han Li was quite certain that Qing Yi’s stealth technique was far superior to his own Invisible Escape Technique.   The Invisible Escape Technique could be upgraded.   If it could be combined with the “Nameless Concealment Technique” and the “Fragment of the Silk Handkerchief Magic Treasure,” ambushing opponents of the same level would be incredibly effective.   Coincidentally, his fighting style leaned more towards the sinister and underhanded than the open and sweeping style of the Barbarian Beard.   This technique was destined for him.   ”By the way, Second Elder, why doesn’t your stealth technique have a name?”   ”I discovered it when I was reading extensively back then. At that time, I was just a small-time Foundation Establishment cultivator, and I was fortunate enough to find the storage bag of the sole heir of a declining sect. Inside the storage bag were a large collection of artifacts that sect had gathered from ancient times to the present…”   Qing Yi didn’t go into details, leaving it at that, and Han Li and the bearded man didn’t ask any further.   Everyone has their own little secrets.   Let alone such secrets concerning someone else’s past that could change their destiny.   ”That’s it?”   The bearded man blinked.   His eyes seemed to say, “You only have this one trick up your sleeve?”   Upon hearing this, Qing Yi rolled his eyes at the bearded man:   ”I, Qing, always have some good stuff to offer, First Elder, you should be content.”   The three of them fell silent for a moment, then stared at each other.   Han Li was the most impressed.   It had to be him, so magnanimous and righteous. That’s how he moved the bearded man and Qing Yi.   Otherwise, how could these two possibly reveal their true skills?   Alright.   If they continue to hold back and don’t show him anything substantial to satisfy him, he won’t bother with them anymore, much less take them to Tiannan to seek opportunities.   His “sincerity” requires an equal response.   …   The Xuantian Sect has initially established “two academies, eleven halls, and one pavilion.”   These are:   the Elder’s Academy, housing all Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators, responsible for distributing welfare to all high-level cultivators;   the Welfare Academy, where the sect issues tasks and distributes cultivation resources;   the Body Refining Hall, where the First Elder, Barbarian Beard, temporarily acts as the hall master, teaching body refining methods;   the Transmission Hall, where the Second Elder, Qing Yi, temporarily acts as the hall master, guiding Core Formation cultivators;   and the Scripture Repository, housing various inherited scriptures, overseen by Gan Rushuang.

The Dingling Hall is the transmission of alchemy, serving as the sect’s cultivation base for spiritual herbs and medicines, and the refining center for various elixirs.

The Qianji Hall transmits the puppetry techniques of the Qianzhu Sect and later, the puppet soul-binding techniques.

The Leiyin Hall transmits the ancient Buddhist tradition.

The Tianluo Hall transmits the Confucian tradition of the Wanfa Sect.

The Yuling Hall transmits the beast-taming methods and the Five Elements Spiritual Infant methods of the Yuling Sect.

The Shenbing Hall transmits the forging techniques of the Shenbing Sect and various magical treasures and ancient artifacts, with plans to collect more forging techniques in the future.

The Tianzhen Hall transmits the ancient array techniques. The

Tianfu Hall transmits the talisman techniques of the Tianfu Sect and the ancient jade talisman techniques.

The Xuanjian Pavilion transmits the Qingyuan Sword Dao of the Xuanjian Sect, with plans to collect more sword techniques in the future.

Finally, the Wanmiao Tower is the sect’s matchmaking agency.

Wanmiao, Wanmiao…

indescribably wonderful.

Female disciples trained at the Wanmiao Tower are all skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and various musical instruments.

Below the two academies, eleven halls, and one pavilion, the Seven Seas Chamber of Commerce is also established.

These correspond to the seven major sea regions of the human realm:

the Five Dragon Sea, the Chaotic Star Sea, the Heavenly Sand Continent Sea, the future Boundless Sea, the Arctic Ice Sea, the Southeast Sea of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Southwest Sea of the Great Jin Dynasty, and several sea regions between the Chaotic Star Sea and the Five Dragon Dragon Sea.

Furthermore, based on future financial resources, it is planned to establish hundreds or even thousands of affiliated branches similar to the White Water Sword Sect.

Ling Xiaofeng’s move was brilliant.

Unfortunately, cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light ruined the plan.

Above the two academies, eleven halls, and one pavilion, the Inspectorate and the Hall of Military Merit will be established, reporting only to the Sect Master.

The Inspectorate’s task, as the name suggests, is similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard of mortal dynasties.

The Hall of Military Merit will tally merits and exchange them for various resources and treasures stored in the sect’s treasury.

Finally,

he also plans to establish the [War God Hall] and the [Demon Taming Hall].

The War God Hall will be for external warfare weapons and

the sect’s trained cultivator troops,

controlled by the Sect Master’s lineage.

As for the Demon Taming Hall…? The task ahead is to collect demonic energy from the human realm, and then cleverly utilize the demonic energy from the Demon Abyss and even the true demonic energy.

“The demonic energy from the Demon Abyss is indeed hateful, causing the cultivation environment in this realm to deteriorate day by day.”

“But if the cultivators in this realm strive for excellence, they may not be unable to turn waste into treasure.”

The environment dense with demonic energy can actually be utilized.

For example, rare spiritual herbs with both spiritual and demonic attributes can be cultivated.

These herbs are extremely rare and precious in both the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm. They are effective not only for Nascent Soul cultivators using certain special techniques, but also for Void Refinement cultivators. The original body, in the late-stage Integration Realm, and several Integration Realm cultivators who infiltrated the Demon Realm with the original body, collected some.

Their value is even higher than the spiritual herbs cultivated in the Spirit Garden of this realm.

Unfortunately, they can only grow in the Demon Realm.

This is because only the Demon Realm can provide an environment where spiritual and demonic energy can coexist.

Although this realm suffered from the ancient demonic calamity, it has also formed an environment where demonic and spiritual energy coexist for survival and reproduction.

In a sense, it can be called “uniquely blessed.”

If it were truly possible to cultivate rare spiritual herbs with both spiritual and demonic attributes in this realm, the so-called big shots in Tianyuan City would probably be restless.

Some cultivators of special techniques would try every means to re-establish contact with this realm.

Because the cost is nothing compared to the continuous benefits.

Of course ,

even if the human cultivators in the Spirit Realm don’t recognize its value, his descendants can keep it all to themselves.

He has no intention of passing on the Brahma Saint True Demon Art to outsiders.

Therefore, if viewed indirectly,

the Demon Abyss and its demonic energy are actually a treasure of this world! It’s an opportunity that the Demon Realm painstakingly brought to this world!

It’s just that over tens of thousands of years, none of the rising stars of this world have been able to utilize it.

What he wants to do is, after ascending to the Spirit Realm in the future, when his cultivation is complete, send the seeds of spirit and demonic dual-attribute medicinal herbs to the lower realm.

“We cultivators can’t get them from those old guys in Tianyuan City of the Spirit Realm, so we can only use our own brains.”

“When a cultivation method that is compatible with both spirit and demonic attributes appears among the human race, those so-called dross will become the true essence…”

…

Two years later.

Outer Sea.

Qiyuan Island Sea Area.

Miaoyin Sect has already established itself here.

On this day, Han Li, disguised and revealing only his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, paid a visit to the Right Envoy of the Miaoyin Sect, who was in charge of Qiyuan Island affairs.

“This humble servant is Zhuo Ruting, greetings, Senior,”

Han Li nodded.

After some pleasantries, he directly stated his purpose:

“I’ve heard that your sect has a Foundation Establishment female cultivator nicknamed ‘Moon Fairy,’ with a face like warm jade and skin like snow, another beauty second only to your sect’s Purple Spirit Fairy. May I

ask, Fellow Daoist Zhuo, could you introduce me to her?” “Is Senior referring to my disciple, Wen Siyue?”

“Yes, her name is indeed Wen Siyue.”

“Please wait a moment, Senior, I will send someone to fetch her.”

Zhuo Ruting naturally couldn’t afford to offend a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Therefore, she didn’t cause any trouble.

Soon, Han Li met his target.

“Siyue greets Senior.”

Wen Siyue truly lived up to the description in the book—a face like warm jade and skin like snow. Her figure was distinctly voluptuous, yet surprisingly graceful and alluring. Her voice was incredibly sweet, enough to melt one’s bones, and every movement she made exuded captivating charm, a natural allure.

This woman had joined the Miaoyin Sect long ago, and even without his interference, she had miraculously survived a sect plot during the opening of the Void Heaven Palace. It was hard to say whether she was lucky or… unlucky.

“Is your father Wen Qiang?”

“Eh? Senior knows my father?”

The previously timid young woman suddenly looked up in surprise.

“We have a slight connection.”

After all, he was a friend of the original owner’s:

“How is your father?”

“More than thirty years ago, my father perished at the hands of several tribulation cultivators while protecting me.”

The accomplices were none other than the Miaoyin Sect.

“Dead?”

That’s right.

Those who plotted against Wen Siyue were certain members of the Miaoyin Sect. Their aim was to make Wen Siyue obedient and not act like a stubborn little mule. In their line of work, the Miaoyin Sect, there was no reason to feign innocence. To make Wen Siyue obedient, eliminating Wen Qiang, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and depriving her of her only support was a crucial step.

It wasn’t too difficult.

In the original timeline, thanks to his intervention, Wen Qiang and Wen Siyue temporarily escaped that group. However, Wen Qiang later disappeared.

Who was responsible was obvious.

“Do you have a Daoist partner now?”

“Senior, this humble servant…”

“Does this senior have designs on my Siyue?”

Zhuo Ruting suddenly interjected, her eyes lighting up.

Han Li smiled noncommittally.

He then transmitted his voice to Wen Siyue:

“Do you want to completely leave the Miaoyin Sect?”

After a moment’s thought, Wen Siyue hesitated. She wasn’t sure if the person before her was someone her master, Zhuo Ruting, had sent to test her. She feared that a single misstep would lead her into an even worse scheme.

She was afraid.

Without her father’s support, she had to be even more cautious, lest she give the others in the sect any ammunition or leverage.

Han Li, seeing this, already understood.

He immediately patted his storage bag, tossing out a pile of spirit stones:

“Here are one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. I want to take this woman away. Fellow Daoist Zhuo, you have no objections, right?”

“Senior, no way! Our sect has put a lot of effort into nurturing Si Yue.”

Right Envoy Zhuo refused without hesitation.

He was joking.

Wen Si Yue was the second most beautiful woman in the Miaoyin Sect, second only to the young sect master. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but she also possessed the talent of a dual-spiritual-root genius. She had reached Foundation Establishment at twenty and had the potential to become a Core Formation cultivator. She was also diligent in her cultivation, never slacking off, and her cultivation had already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. How could she be sold off so cheaply?

“Senior, our sect has provided her with meticulous protection for many years, otherwise…”

In the chaotic Inner Star Sea, she would have long since become someone else’s plaything.

“Ahem, I even taught her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, imparted the path of cultivation to her, and provided her with cultivation resources and various channels to broaden her horizons…”

Han Li became increasingly speechless.

He glanced at Zhuo Ruting indifferently:

“That mission she was sent to escort supplies, wasn’t that arranged by you, Fellow Daoist Zhuo? You also anticipated that her father would protect her along the way, so you arranged for a Tribulation Cultivator to target this father and daughter, right?”

The Bewitching Technique instantly bewitched Zhuo You Shi, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The vast difference in their spiritual senses left Zhuo Ru Ting defenseless.

“Senior, it was indeed my doing. Who told this disobedient brat? I made her serve others, but she was arrogant, insisting on being a performer, not a prostitute, maintaining her purity. I wanted her to marry my nephew, but she, a widow, still looked down on it. Since that’s the case, I eliminated her support, leaving her helpless and forced to obey…”

These words left Wen Si Yue speechless.

Her eyes instantly turned red, filled with tears. Her lips trembled slightly.

“Father, was he killed by someone you arranged, Master? Just to make me obedient?”

How could this be?

Although she suspected someone within the sect was targeting her because of past events,

she never imagined it was her master, Zhuo Ruting’s doing.

Releasing the spell, Han Li shook his head, thinking to himself, “As expected.”

Zhuo Ruting, awakened from the spell, paled.

She immediately warned the guest elders who were secretly overseeing the area.

The next moment, a Core Formation cultivator appeared, narrowing his eyes warily at Han Li:

“Who are you, fellow Daoist? Why have you come to my Miaoyin Sect to make things difficult for us?”

“Fellow Daoist? You dare call me fellow Daoist?”

The aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly erupted, controlling the room and suppressing the arriving Core Formation cultivator and Zhuo Ruting with oppressive force. The middle-aged guest elder’s face changed drastically, and he stumbled backward, his legs trembling. Zhuo Ruting paled, her face turning deathly white, and then her legs gave way, and she knelt on the ground.

“Senior…”

“No, please continue to call me fellow Daoist,”

Han Li said with a smile, holding up his teacup.

Upon hearing this, the Core Formation guest elder almost burst into tears: “Senior, senior, this junior was reckless, this junior was presumptuous, this junior…”

Zhuo Ruting, meanwhile, felt utterly hopeless and didn’t dare utter a sound.

She never expected that her unpopular disciple would have such a terrifying background as a Nascent Soul expert! (

I’m taking my wife for a prenatal checkup tomorrow morning, so the afternoon update might be a little late.
