A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Brother Xuan’er, you’re too special.

Looking at Senior Brother Liu’s side, he possesses a top-tier magic weapon, the Fire Cloud Sword. Each strike of this flying sword is imbued with a beginner-to-mid-level Fire Cloud Technique.

Layers of fire clouds gather, surging like dragons, their power equally formidable.

He also has a small shield, a high-tier defensive magic weapon.

It was this small shield that repeatedly blocked the attacks of the cone-shaped magic weapon ,

thus creating opportunities for the Fire Cloud Sword to attack.

Unfortunately, although the Fire Cloud Sword’s attacks were fierce, scorching the ground within three to five zhang around Senior Brother Feng, causing crimson lava to flow, the protective barrier remained steadfast. Even when the Fire Cloud Sword slashed down with its blade magnified three times, it couldn’t shake Senior Brother Feng’s top-tier bracelet.

The protective barrier rippled, but it was far from being broken.

However, the small shield that spontaneously surrounded Senior Brother Liu was already beginning to falter under the fierce onslaught of the golden cones.

On the shield’s surface, many small holes were poked, and its spiritual energy was rapidly draining away.

If it held on for even a short while longer, this small, high-grade magic shield would be ready to be sold as scrap.

“Junior Brother Liu, you can’t beat me. Admit defeat,” Senior Brother Feng said smugly

, a slight smirk playing on his lips. Seeing this, Senior Brother Liu gritted his teeth: “Hmph, don’t

even think about it.” He then became

determined, deciding that even if it meant damaging this small, high-grade magic shield, he would consume enough of Feng’s magic power. This would create the most favorable conditions for Junior Brother Ma Song.

Senior Brother Feng naturally realized this as well, and his smile slowly faded: “Liu Mian, why bother doing all this for someone else?”

“What’s wrong with doing all this for someone else? As long as it makes you unhappy, I’m happy. Feng, I’ve been annoyed with you for a long time.”

“…”

Outside the arena.

Dong Xuan’er was chatting enthusiastically with a young man, surrounded by many fellow disciples who had come to admire her.

Not far away, a group of female cultivators frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Just then, a figure pushed through the crowd.

Initially, the male cultivators were on high alert, feeling a new rival had arrived. But upon seeing the newcomer’s appearance and cultivation level, their wariness vanished. The

newcomer’s appearance was unremarkable; he certainly wasn’t a match for their junior sister, Dong Xuan’er. His cultivation was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining; such a nobody was more suited to be their follower.

No threat.

However, Dong Xuan’er’s reaction upon seeing the newcomer was completely different from what everyone expected.

“Eh? Junior Brother Han, you’ve emerged from seclusion?”

Dong Xuan’er stood up, smiled, her bright eyes and white teeth sparkling, her smile sweet and pure.

What was going on?

Everyone was incredulous.

“This person looks familiar…”

“It’s him?! That junior brother who received benefits from both the Ascension Token and the Ascension Conference?”

“So it’s Junior Brother Han Li…”

Then…

everything’s alright!

…

Four-element pseudo-spiritual root.

There’s no word yet on the family behind him.

His wealth was basically bestowed by his grandmaster, Hong Fu.

He’s incomparable to cultivators like them who possess true spiritual roots and have cultivation family backgrounds.

Just considering his pathetic talent with his pseudo-spiritual root, Grandmaster Hong Fu would never allow Junior Sister Dong to become his Daoist partner.

Then, in the next moment, many male cultivators stirred:

“Junior Brother Han, finally we get to meet…”

“Junior Brother Han, I’ve heard so much

about you…” “Junior Brother Han, it’s really not easy to meet you…”

The eager and friendly gazes of the male cultivators were incomprehensible not only to Han Li, but also to Dong Xuan’er:

“Why am I (Han Li) so popular?”

Of course, Han Li’s confusion was only momentary. He quickly put himself in their shoes and immediately understood the reason for their enthusiasm.

The reason was simple: they hoped to befriend him to have more opportunities to meet Dong Xuan’er. Perhaps some were even hoping to befriend him so he could speak well of them to Dong Xuan’er.

As the saying goes, to win over a girl, you must first win over her best friend, right? Befriending her best friend first, then approaching her, often yields twice the results with half the effort.

As for why these people weren’t worried he’d steal Dong Xuan’er’s heart?

Because in their eyes, a pseudo-spiritual root like him had no chance.

The reason is simple: they’re not a good match.

Only a blind man like him, with no future, would make Fairy Hongfu and Junior Sister Xuan’er choose him.

Having figured this out, Han Li felt relieved, and a sense of enlightenment washed over him.

He had prepared himself for the hostility of everyone. But it turned out that despite his shortcomings, his proximity to Dong Xuan’er made him a hot commodity? At least for those male cultivators pursuing Dong Xuan’er.

Befriending him was definitely better than offending him.

Han Li politely responded to the enthusiasm around him.

Then, after glancing at the situation, he went to Dong Xuan’er’s side and said openly, “Senior Sister, Grandmaster Hongfu asked me to summon you back to the mountain.”

Grandmaster Hongfu?

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively backed away.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan’er’s mind flashed with the image of her master’s imposing presence, and her body trembled.

But quickly, she realized what was going on: wasn’t her master in seclusion trying to break through a bottleneck? It would take at least two or three years, how could he possibly emerge so early?

So, Junior Brother Han was lying.

This junior brother was actually using their master’s name to intimidate her?

She gritted her teeth, about to explode in anger, when she saw the young man opposite her wink at her three times in a row.

What was this…?

“I understand, I’ll go back now.”

Dong Xuan’er didn’t expose him, and after apologetically greeting her fellow disciples, she flew away from the martial arts arena with Han Li on their flying artifacts.

Senior Brother Ma stretched out his hand and opened his mouth as if to say something, but remembering that it was Grandmaster Hong Fu who was summoning Junior Sister Dong, he immediately suppressed the urge to stop her.

…

On the way back to Red Tassel Mountain, Han Li didn’t rush to speak.

Dong Xuan’er, unable to contain herself, immediately questioned,

“Han Li, my master hasn’t emerged from seclusion yet, right? You’re using her name to deceive me. Aren’t you afraid of angering me, or incurring the wrath of those senior brothers?”

Han Li smiled gently, then quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute,

“Senior sister, it’s my fault. Those senior brothers were just too enthusiastic. Without using our master’s name, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to get away.”

He didn’t mention his intention to intimidate Dong Xuan’er.

“Not targeting me?”

Dong Xuan’er frowned slightly, looking suspicious.

“Huh? What did I target you for, senior sister? Why would I target you?” Han Li feigned ignorance, looking confused and astonished.

“Hmph.”

Dong Xuan’er snorted lightly, then didn’t pursue the matter further.

“Tell me, why did you call me back? It’s not to celebrate your breakthrough, is it?”

“Yes, it’s to celebrate my breakthrough.”

Han Li nodded.

Dong Xuan’er rolled her eyes.

Did she really think she was stupid?

“Senior Sister, how far do you think you can go in the future?”

Han Li’s smile faded, his expression gradually becoming serious and solemn.

“With my aptitude, forming a Core is difficult, but with Master’s help, Foundation Establishment shouldn’t be a problem.” Dong Xuan’er was confident in this, and also had a good understanding of her own limitations.

“Only thinking about reaching the Foundation Establishment stage? Then Senior Sister, you really underestimate your potential.”

“Do you really think I can form a Core?” Dong Xuan’er was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him like he was an idiot: “Do you know how difficult it is to form a Core?”

“And let alone forming a Core, even Foundation Establishment is very difficult, okay?”

“Yellow Maple Valley distributes Foundation Establishment Pills once every five years. Each time, after a hundred or so Foundation Establishment Pills are distributed, at most ten or so lucky people will succeed in one go. Many need to take Foundation Establishment Pills two or even three times to succeed…” For those

with four pseudo-spiritual roots, there is only a one percent chance of succeeding in one go with just one Foundation Establishment Pill. For those with

three spiritual roots, there is only a one or two percent chance.

“I know Foundation Establishment is difficult, and I understand even more how difficult Core Formation is; otherwise, the sect wouldn’t only have eight Core Formation elders. But Senior Sister, you’re different from everyone else; you’re too special…” “

Special?”

Dong Xuan’er blinked.

Besides having a Core Formation master and great-aunt, what else did she have?
