A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Exhilarating!

“So now, should I first cultivate a few techniques to improve my combat power, then go to the Mo family mansion in Jiayuan City, Lanzhou, to demand an explanation from Doctor Mo, and then wait for the once-in-a-decade Ascension Conference of Yue Kingdom to convene and join Huangfeng Valley?”

“Or should I, after cultivating two techniques to my advantage, take the Ascension Token and go straight to Huangfeng Valley in Taiyue Mountain?”

Han Li was caught in a dilemma.

If he first sought revenge on Doctor Mo, he could definitely vent his anger and incidentally obtain Yu Zitong’s storage bag and that rare and precious “Blood Spirit Grass.”

But this journey would definitely cause considerable delays.

Firstly, even using both water and land routes, it would take at least three months to travel from Jingzhou to Jiayuan City, Lanzhou. Secondly, Doctor Mo might not have returned to the Mo family mansion in Jiayuan City yet. If Doctor Mo wasn’t there, and he then went to Jianzhou in the north of Yue Kingdom, the round trip would take him more than half a year.

And what he lacked most right now was time.

More than half a year of travel, plus at least half a year needed to practice techniques, would amount to more than a year.

Thus, he only had four years left to cultivate before the next Crimson Trial.

Four years of arduous training?

That was far too little.

Venturing into the forbidden area at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining?

That was practically lowering the bar for participants’ cultivation levels.

Therefore, the choice was clear.

…

Heading east, returning to the Seven Mysteries Sect, and once again entering that secluded mountain valley to live in seclusion.

He decided that before heading to Taiyue Mountain to find Huangfeng Valley, he should first master several techniques for protection. Especially the “Wind Control Technique,” which he had to master proficiently, ideally combined with the Luo Yan Step.

The Wind Control Technique paired with the Luo Yan Step would allow him to unleash extremely fast speed.

The Elephant Armor Technique paired with the Luo Yan Step would prevent his stamina from quickly running out.

Furthermore, he also had to learn the “Fireball Technique” and the “Heavenly Eye Technique.” The

Heavenly Eye Technique was the fundamental technique for perceiving spiritual energy.

Only by learning this technique could he make discoveries when encountering other cultivators, instead of being completely unaware that the other person was a cultivator face-to-face. This technique can not only observe cultivators but also detect demonic beasts and spirit beasts, making it an essential survival technique for those seeking refuge in the desolate wilderness of the Spirit Mountain and Great Swamp.

The Fireball Technique is a powerful and practical low-level technique.

Entering the Taiyue Mountains to find the entrance to Huangfeng Valley, one might encounter demonic beasts in the remote wilderness if luck is against them. Without a few lethal techniques to deal with low-level demonic beasts, is he expected to use the Gray Sword Talisman every time?

Leaving aside the extravagant consumption of the talisman’s non-renewable and inexhaustible energy, simply taking out the talisman in front of Huangfeng Valley’s entrance is tantamount to courting disaster.

If possible, avoid revealing the Gray Sword Talisman. “

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.”

As for why he chose a small mountain valley?

Simply because it offered him a familiar sense of security, was sufficiently secluded and quiet, and allowed him to replenish his necessities through Li Feiyu.

Time flew by, and more than half a year passed.

Finally, after countless trials and errors, he mastered the Wind Control Technique. Furthermore, by combining the Wind Control Technique with the Luo Yan Step, he leveraged their strengths to overcome the Wind Control Technique’s lack of explosive speed and alleviated the excessive energy consumption of the Luo Yan Step.

“With the new Luo Yan Wind Control Step, I can now easily retreat from many demonic beasts.”

He was quite confident in the movement technique he had created.

In addition,

he had also mastered the Fireball Technique, also known as the Small Fireball Technique.

With his Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation, he could release a maximum of twelve small fireballs.

In other words, he could fire a maximum of twelve fireballs consecutively using his meager internal energy. While this couldn’t compare to the hundreds fired consecutively by a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator, it still provided him with a certain degree of self-defense.

He also understood how to use the Gray Sword Talisman and the Vajra Talisman.

It was essentially about injecting mana to activate them and using incantations for assistance.

Once he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn’t need incantations at all; his Foundation Establishment True Essence would easily activate them. But he was still just a nobody at the third level of Qi Refining. Activating talismans was fine, as it didn’t require much of his own mana. However, activating a magical treasure was different; he needed the aid of incantations to activate it.

And the extent to which it could be activated depended on his mana reserves.

In short, there were quite a few limitations.

On this day,

Han Li emerged from seclusion.

Feeling that he had gained some skill, he looked up at Jianzhou in the northeast:

“It’s time to set off.”

On the mountain path leading to Chishui Peak, the two walked side by side. One was Li Feiyu, and the other was him.

He chose to take this path mainly because it held too many of his hopes.

His greatest hope was undoubtedly the Heavenly Bottle.

For many years, every time he passed through these roads, he couldn’t help but look down and check the flowers and plants along the way, afraid of missing anything.

Unfortunately, despite his persistence over the years, the small bottle never appeared.

Even so, he had still held onto a sliver of hope.

Just as the two reached the cliff platform where Manager Qian had designed the large kitchen, Li Feiyu stopped first and broke the silence:

“When will you be back this time?”

For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

Hearing this, Han Li looked up, no longer glancing at the grass on the ground, but focusing his attention on his friend:

“Perhaps, I’ll never come back.”

His voice was calm and even, yet it carried clearly to the ears of the person beside him.

“What do you mean?” Li Feiyu was startled.

“Me? I might never come back in this lifetime.” This time, Han Li’s tone was heavier, and a complex, bitter smile appeared on his face.

Without the Heavenly Bottle, could he really ascend?

Let alone ascending to the Immortal Realm or the Spirit Realm, even forming a Nascent Soul or Core would be difficult.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Li Feiyu asked, somewhat annoyed.

“Senior Brother Li, I’m going to pursue my dream.” In that instant, Han Li’s smile brightened considerably.

As he spoke, he reached into his robes and pulled out several small bottles and a prescription:

“These medicines should be enough for you for the next few years. Unfortunately, the herbs in the Divine Hand Valley’s medicinal fields aren’t complete, and the quantity is limited, so I can’t prepare a larger quantity for you. Therefore, you’ll have to learn to prepare medicine yourself from now on.”

He shoved the bottles into his dazed friend’s arms, then suddenly let out a long howl towards the steep cliff and deep valley before him.

The howl carried a hint of reluctance and resolute determination.

Without waiting for Li Feiyu to ask any further questions, he leaped off the cliff!

This time, he didn’t take any safety precautions!

“Senior Brother Li, please look after my family for me, I beg you. There’s a difference between immortals and mortals, the path to immortality is fraught with peril. I don’t know if I can reach that height in this life, but I still want to try, I must try…”

“If I can reach the pinnacle of immortality one day, we’ll meet again in the Immortal Realm!” He used

the Wind-Riding Technique, rising with the wind, riding the wind.

Two hundred feet in the air, Han Li was like a giant bird, instantly moving forward seven or eight feet.

When his descent became too rapid, he lightly tapped his foot, a ripple of magical power spreading outwards. Then, he not only stopped his descent but also moved several feet forward in mid-air.

It was incredibly miraculous.

It was as if he were truly gliding on the mountain wind.

“Goodbye, Immortal Realm, goodbye, Immortal Realm…”

Without the Heavenly Palm Bottle, could he not cultivate immortality?

Without the Heavenly Palm Bottle, could he not overcome the threat posed by Mo Juren?

Without the Heavenly Palm Bottle, could he not leave this small mountain valley to see the wonders of the outside world?

No.

He could.

Even without the Heavenly Bottle, he could travel very, very far.

“I, Han Li, need that bottle to become an immortal!”

“To hell with the Heavenly Bottle!”

A long howl rang out, jolting the stunned Li Feiyu from his utter shock.

“Han Li, you…”

His friend could actually fly?

Could this be the legendary immortal technique?

Meanwhile, Han Li, no longer fixated on the Heavenly Bottle, suddenly felt a sense of liberation, a break from shackles, a clear mind, and sudden enlightenment.

He felt a genuine sense of ease and freedom, as if he had broken free from the super shackles he had placed upon himself.

In that instant, the Everlasting Spring Technique within his body rapidly began to circulate spontaneously. The bottleneck that had imprisoned him for three or four years, hindering his cultivation progress, loosened at this moment and then broke through on its own!

It was like a powerful, gradual accumulation, a natural outcome?

Along with the breakthrough, his internal magical power surged, becoming even purer.

His five senses also became more acute.

Most notably, his spiritual sense underwent a transformation, finally giving birth to his “first wisp of divine consciousness.”

This was also a sign of reaching the fourth level of

Qi Refining. This change nearly brought Han Li, who was preparing to show off in front of his friends and others, to tears of joy.

Then, even more hearty laughter erupted.

“Hahahaha…”

“Ahahaha…”
