A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 55

Chapter 55 I Am Different From You

From that day of provocation, it took him nearly eight months to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Then another eight or nine months, at the cost of consuming even more mid-grade spirit stones, he barely managed to reach the eleventh level. From then on, the effects of the Red Jade Pill became extremely weak, and the Yellow Dragon Pill and Golden Marrow Pill were completely ineffective for him.

The remaining half-bottle of Spirit Marrow Pills and a few Blood Spirit Pills were insufficient to allow him to advance further in a short time.

Considering the approaching Blood Trial, he hesitated only for a moment before swallowing the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand.

This Foundation Establishment Pill was certainly important for his subsequent foundation establishment, but he definitely wanted to participate in this Blood Trial and compete for the large number of precious spiritual herbs within the forbidden area.

Taking a Foundation Establishment Pill with him would, if the news leaked, make him a target for all the cultivators from the seven sects participating in the trial, and they would all see him as easy prey. At that time, this Foundation Establishment Pill would not only be of no help to him, but would also make him a target of everyone’s attacks, drawing the firepower of the elite disciples from various sects.

He, who was originally hidden in the shadows, would immediately be revealed to the world.

Going from darkness to light was not a good thing.

Even if the disciples of Huangfeng Valley kept their mouths shut and didn’t reveal any information about him, he would still have to defeat the elite disciples and even seed-level experts of the other six sects, and he would have to survive the Blood Forbidden Zone. However, his Qi

Refining eleventh level cultivation was still too much of a stretch.

Compared to the original owner, his foundation at the same stage was several levels weaker.

The original owner had barely survived a few days in the forbidden zone, let alone him now.

Therefore, he used this Foundation Establishment Pill.

After consuming the pill and refining its medicinal power for over a month, his cultivation successfully advanced to the Qi Refining twelfth level. After another two months of refining the remaining medicinal power and consolidating his cultivation, he finally emerged from seclusion to breathe in the fresh air of the outside world.

Upon emerging, he bumped into Dong Xuan’er, who had been waiting outside for many days.

“Uncle-Master, although I lost and failed this time in Foundation Establishment, I’m sure I can obtain another Foundation Establishment Pill to establish my foundation again.”

Han Li’s response was still firm and powerful.

His eyes didn’t waver.

His belief didn’t waver in the slightest.

The Foundation Establishment hurdle seemed as insignificant to him as eating and drinking.

“Ambitious. But where do you plan to find a new Foundation Establishment Pill?”

Suddenly thinking of something, Dong Xuan’er’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she tentatively asked:

“Do you intend to wait until the sect competition seven years later to win a ranking and make a name for yourself?”

Upon hearing this, Han Li shook his head and denied it:

“No, seven years is too long, I can’t wait.”

Seven years?

What a joke!

In seven years, it would be too late.

Besides, the sect competition held once every ten years could only provide him with one Foundation Establishment Pill.

And if he wanted to establish his foundation, he would need at least eight Foundation Establishment Pills as a backup.

“Then what are your plans?”

For some reason, Dong Xuan’er felt a little nervous.

Because she might have already guessed the plans of the person in front of her.

But entering that place to compete for spiritual herbs in exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills is far too dangerous. She hoped it wouldn’t

be what she was thinking…

However,

Han Li’s answer still made her heart sink.

“I’m going to try my luck in the Crimson Forbidden Land.”

He didn’t say he wanted to, nor did he say he planned to; he was certain he would go.

His attitude was very clear.

“Are you crazy? Haven’t you heard how dangerous that place is? Don’t think you’re so great just because you performed well at the Ascension Tournament. The challenge intensity of the Ascension Tournament is on a completely different level from the intensity of the Crimson Trial.”

Dong Xuan’er’s smile vanished completely, replaced by extreme solemnity

and a hint of worry for Han Li.

“Of course I know the participants in the Ascension Tournament can’t compare to the elites from the various factions in the Blood Trial.”

Han Li’s expression also became serious and solemn:

“In the Ascension Tournament, the oldest participant cannot be over 40 years old, and the highest cultivation level is only the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The tenth level of Qi Refining is already considered a minor expert, and such a person has a great chance of obtaining an Ascension spot. The eleventh level of Qi Refining is an even greater expert, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, their spot is guaranteed.”

“These so-called experts, at most, possess high-grade magic weapons, and most only have mid-to-low-grade magic weapons on their side.”

“In addition, they are all in their twenties or thirties, too young. Those people have only studied magic for ten or twenty years, some even only a few years.”

Like him.

“Moreover, most of those challengers in the arena lack renowned teachers and are all self-taught…”

Han Li paused here before continuing,

“On the other hand, those who have participated in the Blood Trial throughout history are quite different.”

“Their cultivation levels are mostly at the twelfth or thirteenth level of Qi Refining, with very few at the tenth or eleventh level. Even if there are, they are extremely rare.” “

Furthermore, these people are mostly veterans who have cultivated for many years and studied techniques for many years. The older ones may be seventy or eighty years old.”

In the cultivation world, where cultivators abound, the elderly are not a vulnerable group.

Often, the older they are, the stronger and more ferocious they become.

“Furthermore, as far as I know, the elites of the seven sects are not lacking in top-tier magic artifacts.”

“Some seed-level experts even possess more than one or two top-tier

magic artifacts!” “They even wield powerful weapons like talismans!”

“Considering that they have been practicing for many years, studying spells in the various sects’ transmission pavilions for years, and have countless experiences fighting against cultivators of the same level!”

“So…”

“Whether it’s cultivation level, magic artifacts, spell experience, or talismans and talismans, they are far superior.” “

It’s no exaggeration to say that any cultivator participating in the Blood Trial should not be underestimated.”

Most of the elites could easily rank in the top fifty in the Yellow Maple Valley sect competition.

Seed-level experts are even more formidable, ranking in the top ten or even the top five!

To maximize his survival rate during the trial, he should ideally possess the foundation and strength of a top-five sect in the competition.

For example, Chen Qiaoshan, the eldest son of the Chen family.

He appears gentle and refined, yet possesses the combat power of a top-three cultivator in the Yellow Maple Valley competition, capable of single-handedly suppressing two seed-level experts.

“Finally, there’s the threat of demonic beasts within the forbidden area…”

This point cannot be ignored.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan’er was immediately surprised:

“Since you know all this, why are you still going?”

She was surprised by Han Li’s understanding of the Blood Trial,

and even more surprised that Han Li, knowing the dangers, still stubbornly participated in the trial.

Was he tired of living?

“Uncle-Master, I’m different from you. I have no choice but to compete.” Han Li said this with a smile.

But in Dong Xuan’er’s eyes, it was full of bitterness.

She wanted to continue to dissuade him, but then she thought of something and was speechless for a moment.

“Isn’t there any other way?”

Although they were a whole realm apart, they were still friends in private.

Moreover, her gratitude towards Han Li only grew stronger after she reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Because only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage could she clearly understand the huge gap between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Refining stage, and realize how naive the many tricks she played when she was in the Qi Refining stage were.

Those former suitors, those so-called Qi Refining stage elites, what difference is there between them and larger ants in her eyes now? She alone could easily defeat at least five or six of them, and victory was only a matter of time. How perverse would it be to waste time toying with those utterly insignificant ants?

And when her understanding underwent a drastic change, how could she not be moved by Han Li’s earnest advice and the provocation of the bet back then?

He was a truly kind person who didn’t covet her beauty or try to climb the social ladder by relying on her and her master.

He was a friend worth having deeply.

Now, this friend was determined to participate in the secret realm trial known as “blood-red” among the lower levels of the seven sects. What should she do?

Persuasion was futile.

She could only…

try to improve Han Li’s strength.

“There are still more than half a year left, enough time to prepare some things for him.”

…

Han Li, on the other hand, didn’t expect Dong Xuan’er to do anything for him.

In his view, they were just ordinary friends, merely nodding acquaintances and exchanging benefits.

But he overlooked the fact that for many years, only the master and disciple had existed on Red Tassel Mountain. As a third party who abruptly intruded into their world, how could he not be taken seriously if he wasn’t disliked or resisted by the two women?

His intrusion had already changed many things.

Especially his intervention when Dong Xuan’er’s mind was still unsettled had the most significant impact.
