A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 245

Chapter 241 Maid, Recent Situation, Sixth Brother’s Tribulation

Without hesitation, the two bowed and kowtowed:

“Disciple greets Sect Master.”

“Good.”

Han Li smiled and nodded, immediately keeping his promise and bestowing more than a dozen bottles of precious pills upon Mei Ying. He gave this unlucky fellow who “had never won” and even “should have died in the Underworld” a chance to “win life.”

Mei Ying was overjoyed upon seeing this:

“Thank you, Sect Master, thank you, Sect Master.”

The zombie-faced man, holding more than a dozen bottles of precious pills in his arms, grinned from ear to ear, making his zombie face even more abstract. He then kowtowed repeatedly, extremely excited.

The pills in his arms were all top-grade pills refined from high-level demon cores!

A small half bottle was worth all his wealth.

“Senior expert is indeed worthy of being called senior expert.”

Mei Ying thought to himself.

Originally, having reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty, he only thought of entering the late Foundation Establishment stage when he was seventy or eighty years old. Then he would spend decades honing his magic power, preparing for the final battle.

But now…

reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage at seventy or eighty is too conservative.

He definitely needs to reach the Pseudo-Core stage by then,

and then attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Otherwise, how could he live up to this cultivation?

How could he be looked at differently?

Little sister, you are truly my lucky star.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Mei Ying put away all his pill bottles, then unconsciously touched the clothes he was wearing.

His little sister had sewn them for him herself.

Having such a sister was truly wonderful.

As the middle-aged man was filled with emotion, Han Li added,

“Young Mei Ying, when you reach the Pseudo-Core stage, I will reward you with something else that will greatly increase your chances of forming your Core. Don’t disappoint me. Alright, you may leave now.” The

middle-aged man bowed,

“This disciple takes his leave.”

As he stood up, he nodded to his sister:

Little sister, don’t be nervous, this is a good thing.

Seize the opportunity.

Don’t miss it!

With the middle-aged man’s departure, only Han Li and the flustered Mei Ning remained in the hall.

“From now on, you’ll serve as my maid. Take these cultivation supplies.”

Han Li said, tossing out a storage bag.

Just a maid, not a concubine?

That makes sense.

This is a Nascent Soul stage expert.

How could he possibly be interested in a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator?

Then, glancing at the contents of the storage bag, her eyes widened in disbelief, her hands trembling slightly.

Just then, Yuan Yao entered the hall:

“Greetings, husband.”

Mei Ning cautiously glanced at Yuan Yao, immediately captivated by her fiery beauty.

When she saw this newly arrived Nascent Soul stage expert perform the concubine’s salute to the sect leader above, she was even more shocked.

Her heart was in turmoil.

A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, merely a concubine of the one above?

This… how could it be?

But the truth was undeniable.

…

Maid, added to the list.

Mei Ning’s status wouldn’t be too high.

After all, an extra strand of spiritual energy only provided a small boost. It wasn’t crucial for his later breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage.

The greatest reliance was the Creation Pill refined from the Spirit Candle Fruit.

Secondly, there was the remaining essence of spiritual energy within the top-grade spirit stone.

Then came Gan Rushuang’s transfer of power.

Finally, there was Mei Ning.

Even so, both sides were happy.

Next, Han Li only needed Mei Ning to successfully form her core, ideally reaching the late stage of Core Formation when the “Fallen Demon Valley” opened forty years later. The primordial yin of the late Core Formation stage would offer some slight assistance in breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Time flew by, and another two years passed.

Han Li, who had been waiting for news of Wen Tianren’s departure, finally received it.

“Nephew Hu Guang greets the Sect Master.”

The visitor was none other than Man Hu Zi’s youngest disciple.

“You sent a message saying that a high-ranking member of the Reverse Star Alliance headquarters has gone out?”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

“Let me see more details…”

Hu Guang dared not delay and immediately handed over a communication jade slip.

It contained a great deal of information.

Several points particularly attracted Han Li’s attention.

The Miaoyin Sect Master Wang had gone out more than ten years ago and was captured by cultivators from Holy Demon Island.

Upon learning the news, the young sect leader, Zi Ling, personally went to the site and redeemed her birth mother with her own body, now imprisoned for ten years.

The young sect leader of Holy Demon Island recently went on a trip with a beauty, defeating and even killing several renowned late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled.

“Hmm, continue gathering intelligence on all sides of the Inner Sea, especially the movements of Holy Demon Island and the Myriad Laws Sect.”

“Yes.”

After Hu Guang withdrew, Han Li returned to his mountain cave.

Yuan Yao and Yan Li were both cultivating.

With Yuan Yao providing feedback on her cultivation level, Yan Li had already entered the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm.

However, she was still cultivating the third level of the Great Evolution Technique.

Originally, with Yan Li’s aptitude in soul refining, it would have taken many years to complete the third level. However, with the nourishing soul and strengthening primordial spirit from the Soul Nourishing Wood, cultivating the Great Evolution Technique became much more efficient.

It was believed that in a few more years, she would be able to complete the third level of the Great Evolution Technique, thus increasing her chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

In addition, Gan Rushuang also began cultivating the third level of the Great Evolution Technique.

Rushuang’s aptitude was exceptional.

Whether in terms of magical power or spiritual consciousness, her progress was rapid. In terms of talent for cultivating the Great Evolution Technique, Rushuang, with the aid of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, was second only to him.

Next were Wen Siyue and Mei Ning.

Wen Siyue, beautiful and sweet-talking, was favored by Qing Yi and taken in as his first disciple by this solitary man.

Her cultivation is now at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Mei Ning, even more remarkably, gained over a hundred years’ worth of cultivation power with the help of an ancient pill Yuan Yao obtained from the Void Heaven Palace, reaching the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop, far surpassing her elder brother Mei Ying.

If it weren’t for the need to simultaneously cultivate the first level of the Great Evolution Technique to enhance her divine sense and increase the success rate of condensing her core, she could already be attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Ancient top-grade pills are truly unreasonable.

A year’s worth of refining their power is equivalent to a hundred years of arduous cultivation for a cultivator with dual spiritual roots.

It’s also thanks to Mei Ning’s good character that Yuan Yao Yanli took a liking to her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have enjoyed such benefits.

Mei Ning, once she has mastered the first level of the Great Evolution Technique, will be able to attempt to condense her Golden Core with the help of high-grade spirit stones and various auxiliary spiritual herbs.

This rapid progress has astonished countless people.

Even Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi were amazed,

marveling at the power of the ancient cultivators.

They had even managed to research such a miraculous pill, one pill equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation.

Finally, there was Yuan Yao:

“How is it over there?”

Han Li knocked on the door and entered Yuan Yao’s room.

The beauty had just returned from outside an hour ago and was now emerging from her bath.

The two embraced, sharing a moment of tenderness.

After they separated, Yuan Yao breathed softly,

“Husband, the small sect my senior sister and I used to belong to is gone.”

“Gone?”

“Yes, I heard that years ago, during the Reverse Star Alliance’s operation, they wiped out a dozen or so unruly small sects in the vicinity to establish their authority. Our sect was one of those targeted, and was used as a warning to others by the Void Heaven Palace’s former Ji Yin Island.”

Han Li took out the Soul-Controlling Banner, and Ji Yin, after hearing the details, looked both annoyed and obsequious:

“Master, this wasn’t my order. It must have been those disciples on the island who acted on their own.”

Ji Yin wasn’t lying.

Such petty acts of burning, killing, and looting were all done by his Core Formation disciples according to their abilities.

He only needed to collect a kickback.

“So, I should thank you for eliminating your disciples first?”

Han Li said coldly.

“No need, no need.”

“Hmph.”

After putting away the Soul-Controlling Banner, Han Li hugged Yuan Yao and comforted her:

“Since the sect you sisters belonged to has been destroyed, you should let it go. Let the past be the past.”

“Don’t worry, husband, I understand. I only made this trip to better cultivate the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique. Although there are still some regrets, how can life be without any regrets?”

The fewer regrets, the closer one’s state of mind is to a state of tranquility, which is more beneficial to the cultivation of the Great Evolution Technique.

Yuan Yao’s trip was for this reason.

…

Turning back.

Han Li went to see Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi again.

The three of them sat facing each other, with a teapot, teacups, and a table of spiritual fruits.

“I have to go out for a while. When I come back, we’ll go to Tiannan.”

“Oh? You’re planning to go to Tiannan?”

“In another forty years, the Fallen Demon Valley will open. Let’s go there sooner rather than later. Besides, you two are unfamiliar with the place, so it’s best to go and adapt first. Just appear as independent cultivators of the Great Jin.”

“Okay.”

Speaking of which,

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi had also cultivated the Great Evolution Technique.

After establishing the Xuan Tian Sect, the two of them simultaneously enhanced their magical power cultivation by using high-quality Nascent Soul-level pills refined from the essence of eighth-level demon cores and transformed demon cultivators, while also cultivating the Great Evolution Technique.

Qing Yi’s situation was average.

Even with his superior skills, after so many years, he had only mastered the first level of the technique.

Barbarian Beard, on the other hand, was exceptionally talented, possessing a naturally powerful divine soul far superior to ordinary people, making his cultivation of the Great Evolution Technique twice as effective with half the effort. It was as if this technique was tailor-made for someone with such a naturally powerful divine soul as him. Over ten years, he had almost mastered the second level of the technique.

His talent was even slightly superior to Han Li’s back then.

However,

Han Li, with the Soul-Nourishing Wood nourishing his divine soul, was a different story.

…

In the White Whale Island waters of the Inner Sea.

On this day, more than a dozen streaks of light arrived.

These streaks of light were all red

and surrounded a beautifully crafted and luxurious flying beast carriage.

The carriage, about six or seven zhang long, was entirely crafted from an unknown fragrant wood, its surface inscribed with countless layers of talismans and restrictions, all emitting a faint milky-white glow.

Three strange, azure birds pulled the carriage.

These birds, several zhang in size, had six eyes and four wings, and were ferocious and menacing, all exuding a high-level aura. Without exception, they were all level five spirit beasts.

The group moved with incredible speed, reaching the sky above an unnamed island in the blink of an eye.

Originally, the group did not intend to stop on the island.

But at that moment, a pillar of light shot into the sky from the island, followed by a dramatic change in the wind and clouds, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, eclipsing the world’s color.

A radius of hundreds of miles was shrouded in thunderclouds.

A powerful aura emanated from the island.

A phantom of a dragon flashed by with a roar:

“Roar…”

The powerful aura from the island sent the carriage group flying, overturning its inhabitants.

The three high-level spirit birds trembled and slumped in fear.

The dozen or so red streaks of light were forced to a halt, revealing a group of beautiful but pale-faced young women.

These female cultivators wore uniform light green palace dresses, their black hair piled high, and two swords strapped to their backs.

They all possessed late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Two of them even had early-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Yet, without exception, they all looked towards the island with expressions of terror.

From inside the magnificent carriage, a voice filled with doubt and surprise emanated:

“This is… a Transformation Tribulation?”

An eighth-level demon beast was undergoing tribulation here?

The man was a young man, dressed in hemp clothing, wearing a tall crown, and barefoot. He had a refined and elegant appearance, with a hint of golden light between his brows.

Beside him, a stunningly beautiful girl also showed surprise:

“How could there be a high-level demon beast undergoing a Transformation Tribulation in the Inner Star Sea?”

This girl looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

She wore a white gauze dress, her skin as smooth as jade, and her silky black hair cascaded down her shoulders, each strand delicately ruffled by the breeze. Her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, like a fairy descended to earth, or someone who had stepped out of a dream.

Youth seemed to have remained forever in her youthful state.

However, her fair cheeks lacked a certain rosy color, as if she had been imprisoned for a long time.

“Interesting. I originally just accompanied Fairy Ziling out for a stroll, but I never expected to stumble upon such a wonderful thing?”

The young man rose, his steps creating ripples in the void as he stepped out of the carriage and into the outside world.

His spiritual energy surged, dispelling the terrifying aura that had stretched for hundreds of miles, allowing his maids to recover from the shock.
