A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 243
Chapter 239 Power, Restoring Strength! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader 1111)
“A level 5 demon core is only worth one or two thousand spirit stones in my Chaotic Star Sea. But over there, its value starts at at least ten thousand spirit stones. The materials for high-level demon beasts are also worth at least five or six times more. And the Chaotic Star Sea has no shortage of demon beast materials.”
“With spirit stones, many things become easier.”
“And this is the main reason why I am so wealthy and able to rise so quickly.”
“So, Second Elder, do you understand the importance of teleportation arrays?”
Han Li took a sip of tea, then put down his teacup, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
“Alright, I’ll find some time to go to Red Moon Island to talk to Shi Kun as soon as possible, but he may not have the technology for long-distance teleportation arrays.”
Qing Yi nodded in agreement.
“It doesn’t matter. Whether it’s medium-distance or long-distance, we need it. As long as it’s much better than the hundred-mile teleportation arrays in Tiannan.”
In the Chaotic Star Sea
, everything below a thousand miles is a “short-distance teleportation array.”
Indeed, the vast ocean, though long for mortals, is too short for cultivators.
Below a million miles lies a “medium-range teleportation array.”
In other words, even medium-range teleportation arrays have different thresholds. A medium-range array only a few thousand miles is practically worthless. But a medium-range teleportation array that can traverse hundreds of thousands of miles is strategically important.
Between a million and a few hundred million miles lies a “long-range teleportation array.”
This is the most strategic of strategic, and has always been controlled by the Star Palace. However, it’s unclear when, but major forces in both the righteous and demonic paths have stolen the knowledge of teleportation arrays ranging from a million to several million miles from the Star Palace. Now, they possess even more advanced long-range teleportation arrays capable of traversing hundreds of millions of miles, returning from the outer star sea to the inner star sea.
As for “ultra-long-range teleportation arrays”?
The ancient teleportation array connecting the Chaotic Star Sea to the Tiannan Mine is an ultra-long-range teleportation array.
Their Xuantian Sect doesn’t need any other ultra-long-range ancient teleportation arrays now; a medium-range one is sufficient.
It’s enough to be of great use in the Tiannan region.
“By the way, if Shi Kun won’t give us the technology, we’ll go to the Reverse Star Alliance headquarters to exchange it. There’s bound to be a powerful force willing to do us a favor in exchange for our goodwill,”
Han Li reminded him,
indicating that there was no need to get too entangled with Shi Kun.
“Sect Master, don’t worry, that scoundrel Shi Kun won’t be ungrateful.”
…
After explaining the Qingyi Teleportation Array, Han Li summoned two of Barbarian Beard’s disciples.
One was a disciple surnamed Lei, in the early stage of Core Formation, specializing in Blood Path techniques, but his techniques bore the shadow of the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art. It was similar to a subsidiary branch of the Profound Yin Scripture.
The other was a formation master surnamed Wu, in the mid-stage of Core Formation. However, this person did not possess the technology for mid-range teleportation arrays.
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
The two arrived trembling with fear.
“How is Fengyu Island?”
Han Li asked.
The disciple surnamed Lei quickly replied:
“With Senior Brother Qi overseeing things, everything is as before.”
The disciple surnamed Qi was the oldest of Barbarian Beard’s seven disciples. He
was already over four hundred years old,
in the late stage of Core Formation.
“What about the Tiandu Street Market?”
“With Junior Brother Xiao Yang overseeing things, everything is safe and sound.”
The disciple surnamed Lei bowed respectfully again.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Han Li nodded.
Then he fell silent.
The seven disciples of the Barbarian Beard…
two late-stage Core Formation cultivators: Qi Xin and Wang
Lei. One mid-stage Core Formation cultivator: Wu Liang.
Four early-stage Core Formation cultivators: Cai Jie, Lei Guang, Xiao Yang, and Hu Guang.
Some of them have families, like Wang Lei. Some
are solitary individuals, like Qi Xin, who is stationed on Fengyu Island.
Others have established businesses, like Wu Liang. He initially founded Jinming Tower, which is quite famous in the Demon Lake Island waters. Now, he works diligently for Han Li and the others.
As for Cai Jie, Lei Guang, Xiao Yang, and Hu Guang:
Fourth Senior Sister Cai Jie only needs to be beautiful and serve the Barbarian Beard well.
Lei Guang is responsible for handling sect affairs.
Xiao Yang manages the market under the sect’s name.
Hu Guang is responsible for intelligence gathering.
These individuals, more than a hundred years after the original timeline, either died from reaching the end of their lifespan, were targeted by the Barbarian Beard’s enemies, or vanished without a trace. Only the two in front of him and the female disciple named Cai Jie, each with their own methods, were still surviving.
Currently, the Barbarian Beard is unharmed, and his forces haven’t scattered, so everyone is fine.
Even so, manpower is still severely lacking.
A sect with several Nascent Soul stage cultivators has only a handful of Core Formation cultivators, which is truly unacceptable.
It seems they need to find ways to cultivate more cultivators with dual spiritual roots, special physiques, and unique spiritual roots.
“It doesn’t necessarily require others to come and visit; we can send people to the mortal realm to check each cultivator’s spiritual roots one by one. As long as the spirit stones are available and the disciples are willing, the sect can also gain talent,”
Han Li thought to himself .
Inside the hall ,
his silence suddenly made it very quiet.
The two below, sensing the eerie atmosphere in the hall, unconsciously tensed up.
At this moment, Han Li spoke up:
“Several years ago, I asked you all to search for that woman surnamed Mei near the Taiyang Sect. Have you found anything?”
“Reporting to the Sect Master, Junior Brother Hu found a suspicious person three months ago. Senior Brother Wang even went to confirm it personally.”
“Oh? There’s been progress?”
Han Li’s eyes lit up slightly.
“The information the Sect Master provided back then was that the woman surnamed Mei near the Taiyang Sect is named Mei Ning, her cultivation level is Foundation Establishment, and she has a close Foundation Establishment elder brother. Moreover, this woman is beautiful. Based on this information, we investigated countless cultivators and finally found someone who met all the criteria in a medium-sized sect.”
“Well done. If the person you found is indeed the one I was looking for, you brothers will certainly receive your share of the benefits.”
Han Li promised with a smile.
He was somewhat confused about which island the Mei family belonged to, but he was certain it was near the Taiyang Sect.
The two below, upon hearing this, brightened up, filled with anticipation for the outcome.
“Thank you, Sect Master.”
“By the way, how’s the transfer of assets from Jiyin Island going?”
“All the assets have been transferred to Kuixing Island.”
He then used his magic to send up a jade slip containing a list.
Taking the slip, Han Li didn’t care much for most of the items, except for a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. Upon seeing it, he sighed,
“After all this time, you’ve still ended up in my hands.”
…
Speaking of which, Jiyin has been dead for so many years, hasn’t Jiyin Island experienced any chaos?
One can only say that Barbarian Beard did a good job.
It turns out that Jiyin was killed, dying in the Void Heaven Palace, a fact few knew.
Of course, his decades-long disappearance naturally aroused suspicion.
But Barbarian Beard declared he would protect Jiyin Island.
He even said that the old demon Jiyin had gone to a secluded place to cultivate and break through a bottleneck, with a good chance of reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage. When this false news came out, few on the demonic path doubted Barbarian Beard’s words. These people hadn’t expected the straightforward and honest Barbarian Beard to tell such a lie.
On the righteous path, Wan Tianming, not wanting to provoke Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi any further, chose to remain silent.
Thus, many high-level cultivators who wanted to seize Jiyin Island and its territory all backed down.
They couldn’t afford to offend them.
Barbarian Beard’s words were quite credible.
Moreover, Nascent Soul cultivators were indeed very difficult to kill.
…
When only Han Li remained in the hall,
the Soul-Controlling Banner, with Jiyin as its main soul, flew out.
“Greetings, Master.”
“I’ve sorted out your Jiyin’s assets for you. Are you sure you want to do that with your disciples and followers?”
“Please, Master, complete the Heavenly Capital Corpse; otherwise, my combat power will decrease significantly.”
“Heh, most people train disciples to do errands and run errands. Besides, at most, they use them as preparation bodies for possession, and usually only one or two receive special treatment. You, however, treat all your disciples as materials for refining the Heavenly Capital Corpse. Jiyin, sometimes, I really admire you.”
No materials, so you train
them yourself.
He couldn’t do that.
At that moment,
another Soul-Controlling Banner flew out from the sleeve, revealing the handsome
and dashing figure of Xuan Gu Shangren, Xiao Cha, with his flowing long hair. As soon as Xiao Cha appeared, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ji Yin with a mocking expression:
“You worthless thing, why do you always think about creating these trashy corpses? You really haven’t improved at all.”
Ji Yin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but didn’t argue, instead sneering:
“Is Master worried that his disciple will complete the eighteen Heavenly Capital Corpses and further increase his strength?”
“Beep beep beep, would your master worry about such a trivial matter?”
Xiao Cha waved his hand, shook his head, and curled his lip, quite disdainful.
Seeing this, Ji Yin played with the two ghostly heads formed from Yin Souls, remaining noncommittal:
“Who knows what Master is thinking?”
The rivalry between master and disciple continued even within the Soul-Controlling Banner.
Han Li, while feeling a headache coming on, secretly sighed.
Having this master and disciple constantly exposing each other’s shortcomings was actually a good thing.
A quarter of an hour later.
In the dungeon of Kui Xing Island.
Several cultivators from Jiyin Island, who had reached the mid-to-late stage of Core Formation using only a fragment of the Xuan Yin Scripture, turned deathly pale and their hearts sank when they saw the Jiyin Old Demon with the Xuan Soul Body.
“Master, no!”
“Old Demon, you will die a horrible death!”
“…”
Jiyin remained unmoved by the pleas and curses.
He only wanted to quickly replenish his numbers as cannon fodder and regain his strength, lest he be completely overshadowed by his master, Xiao Cha.
He knew all too well what would happen to him if he became useless in Han Li’s hands.
“Children, don’t blame your master, I also have a heart that can’t bear it.”
Even raising a dog develops feelings over time.
“Master…”
“No…”
…
More than three months later.
Two timid figures, as expected, appeared before Han Li.
A man and a woman.
The man was burly and strong, with a zombie-like face, at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
The woman was beautiful and dignified, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Sect Master, the person has been brought here.”
Below, an elder in the late Core Formation stage bowed.
Han Li simply nodded, then subtly scanned the early Foundation Establishment female cultivator with his divine sense. He noticed a mark of virginity on her wrist and seemed thoughtful.
“Nephew Wang, here are three bottles of pills, suitable for you, Nephew Wu, and Nephew Lei respectively. Share them with them; they will help you improve your cultivation.”
Taking the bottles, Wang Lei was overjoyed.
He bowed again:
“Thank you, Sect Master.”
This Sect Master really gave something!
If it were a Barbarian Master, he might just offer verbal praise, but not such a practical gift.
And what a generous gesture!
“You may leave now.”
Han Li waved his hand.
Wang Lei bowed and quickly left, leaving only the three of them in the hall. (
