A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 67
Chapter 67 Supplement 10: Original Timeline
Chapter 67 Supplement 10: I already compiled the original timeline in my previous book.
Han Li’s timeline differs from that on Baidu Baike; there are some discrepancies.
Baidu Baike’s timeline has some issues.
—
【Han Li】
【10 years old】: Seven Mysteries Sect.
【12 years old】: Zhang Tie disappears.
【13 years old】: Third level of Changchun Gong.
【14 years old】: Discovers the ripening function of the small bottle.
【16 years old】: Kills Doctor Mo.
【18 years old】: Kills Jin Guang Shangren.
A few months later, from the Seven Mysteries Sect in Jingzhou to Jiayuan City in Lanzhou.
Another month or two, Tai Nan Small Gathering + Ascension Conference.
According to the distance on the Yue Kingdom map, this whole process will take at least half a year.
【After 18 and a half years old】: Enters Huangfeng Valley.
【19 years old】: The ten-year grand event of the seven sects of Yue Kingdom.
【20 and a half years old】: End of two years of life in the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Cultivates spiritual herbs for more than two months, then goes to the Huangfeng Valley market to exchange for equipment.
【Approaching 21 years old】: The incident involving Senior Brother Lu and Chen Qiaoqian.
Over a month of recuperating.
This included time spent traveling and restoring mana.
[Approaching 21 and a half years old]: The Crimson Forbidden Land. (Han Li’s original reply to Li Huayuan was that he had been in the valley for almost three years.)
After leaving the forbidden land, three years were spent planting herbs.
Several months were spent refining pills.
Several months were spent establishing his foundation.
(Approximately 4 years in total)
[Approaching 25 and a half years old]: Successfully established his foundation.
Opened the Eye of the Spirit Spring cave.
Planted two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which took another two months.
[After 25 and a half years old]: Tianxing Sect Market.
The Huanglong and Lin Shaozhu incidents of the Thousand Bamboo Sect.
Then, four years of refining talismans.
[29 and a half years old]: The Yan Family Fort incident.
Began cultivating the Great Evolution Technique, for over half a year. (Because there was always travel time involved, and Foundation Establishment cultivators often travel for three to five days within the Yue Kingdom.)
After the mine incident, he reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Afterwards, over a year of battlefield life.
Went to see Qi Yunxiao and made a six-month agreement.
Seven days + seven days + travel, back and forth, and one or two months of delay to repair the ancient teleportation array.
(At least two years of delay in total)
[Approaching 32 years old]: Activate the ancient teleportation array to go to the Chaotic Star Sea. (The time for ultra-long-distance teleportation is incalculable, let’s assume it’s within a day.)
From this point on, there is a huge discrepancy with Baidu Encyclopedia.
—
[Chaotic Star Sea]
The opening of the Chaotic Star Sea is described using time-related terms:
several days and nights, four days, one month, several months, more than a year, about a year, six years, more than a month, several months…
Adding it all up, it’s about nine to ten years.
Calculated based on more than nine years, Han Li would have recovered his cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment, met Yuan Yao Yanli, and would have been at least 41 years old.
He continued his seclusion for more than 20 years (Wang Yu’s “more than 20 years” usually refers to 20 years + a few months, this is his writing habit). Han Li’s main body attempted to form a core, but discovered that liquid true essence could not be solidified, so naturally, he could not form a core.
This is where the biggest discrepancy with the encyclopedia occurs.
The encyclopedia states that Han Li completed the second level of the Great Evolution Technique, reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and created an external avatar in just twenty years.
However, after repeatedly reading this section, I found a problem with this encyclopedia entry.
Han Li, after frantically consuming pills from the early Foundation Establishment stage, took six years to reach the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and only later, through fortuitous circumstances, reached the middle Foundation Establishment stage. Even with ample elixirs, it’s impossible for Han Li to complete the journey from Qi Refining to the late Foundation Establishment stage, or even the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, in just ten years. Otherwise, the claim that Han Li, with the aid of numerous Qi Refining Powders, took six years to reach the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage would be a joke.
Therefore, these twenty years refer to the time Han Li spent progressing from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the peak of Foundation Establishment, excluding the six years spent cultivating the second level of the Great Evolution Technique.
The correct order should be as follows:
1. It took more than two years to recover to the Foundation Establishment stage.
2. The second level of the Great Evolution Technique took six years.
3. In the following months, he cultivated his external avatar.
4. In another two or three years, he recovered to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
5. Over the next ten years, he progressed from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage, and then from the late-Foundation Establishment stage to its peak. Don’t be fooled by this seemingly easy step; for someone like Zhong Lingdao, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with three spiritual roots, it would take a lifetime to reach the peak of the late-Foundation Establishment stage.
Summary: Han Li has been in the Chaotic Star Sea for about 30 years!
[Age 61+]: Met Yanli and Yuan Yao.
The Infant Carp Beast incident lasted over a month.
Went to the Sea Ape Path
for over two months. Secluded himself on Sea Ape Island for four years.
[Age 65.5]: Qu Hun formed his core.
Returned to the small island a little over a month later and obtained the Gold-Eating Insect.
Stayed on an unnamed island for a month or so.
Traveled for several months to Tianxing City.
After finding a cave in Tianxing City, he immediately went into seclusion for two years.
[Age 68+]: Went to the outer sea.
Five years hunting monsters there.
Even without considering travel time, he would be over 73 years old after five years.
Returned after several months.
[Age 73.5]: Returned to Tianxing City.
Two full years spent collecting pill formulas and accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs. Travel time and other miscellaneous expenses are not included.
[Age 76]: Began seclusion to form his core.
Sometime 60 years later.
[Age 136]: Han Li formed his core!
This is 10 years different from the 126 years stated in the encyclopedia! Anyway, it’s definitely not my fault!
In other words, Han Li formed his core at least at age 136! Perhaps even 137 or 138.
The error is within two years.
Continuing.
Next.
The Thunder Bamboo incident, over two months.
Over two years, cultivated the first ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo and collected auxiliary materials for refining the magic weapon “Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword”.
For the next 20 years, he cultivated Golden Thunder Bamboo, forged the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, and honed his weapon-forging skills by running a weapon-forging shop. The word “remaining years” implies a few months’ worth of time before entering. Otherwise, Wang Pang wouldn’t have deliberately used the word “remaining years”; he could have simply stated “a certain number of years.”
[Age 159]: He went with Jin Qing and others to find the sealed location of the Xuan Bone Demon.
Several time-related terms appeared: three months, half a month, several days, one month, two months. They found the island where the Xuan Bone Demon was located after two months.
They broke the formation after three months.
A few days later, they met Wen Siyue.
One month later, they entered the Void Heaven Palace and waited inside for seven or eight days.
Then came the famous scene of Han Li being asked to leave the stone pillar platform by the Barbarian Beard.
Commonly known as “Han Li yielding the pillar.”
[Age 160+]: The Void Heaven Palace officially opened!
In other words, the Void Heaven Palace didn’t open when Han Li was 147 years old, but after he turned 160! This is more than 10 years different from the encyclopedia data!
Following this logic, continuing to summarize the Mortal’s Journey to Immortality chapters and calculating the time of Nascent Soul formation, it’s not the 217 years stated in Baidu Encyclopedia, but approximately 232 years!
Because this book uses Han Li as the protagonist, it demands a higher level of rigor.
Please refrain from negative comments if you disagree.
