Cultivation begins with planting techniques

I'm happy to share!
Upon hearing Xingchenzi's words, Li Ye and the other two were all surprised, wondering what he was up to.

If you think you can fool them into stopping by saying a few insincere words, you're making a huge mistake!

"Fellow Daoist, are you truly so generous?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "If you can truly bestow upon us the secret technique of your sect's inheritance, the three of us will leave immediately and will not harm your Holy Star Sect in the slightest!"

Meng Jingde and Bai Minghua had no objection to this promise; on the contrary, they affirmed it.

"What Brother Li said is also what we mean."

"This is absolutely true!"

After all, the Holy Star Sect has a profound heritage. Along the way, they have seen many sects and forces, but only this sect's grand formation has made them feel somewhat troubled.

No one knows what other hidden tricks the Holy Star Sect has up its sleeve. Achieving one's goal without breaking ties with them is a good outcome in itself.

"So, you three fellow Daoists have indeed come for this reason!"

Xingchenzi's eyes lit up slightly, as if he was quite pleased.

"I had a premonition and cast a divination, which revealed that our sect seemed to be in danger. That's why I made a special trip back quietly and am waiting here..."

"If we can avoid war, that would be the best outcome!"

Does the Holy Star Sect's cultivation method actually possess such the ability to predict heavenly secrets?
There was no relevant information in Wan Mobai's memory. Did he not know, or did he manage to hide it, just so that he would walk right into his trap?

Li Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

Since they came with malicious intent, they were detected by Xingchenzi's senses and could make preparations in advance.

This explains why Li Ye and his companions came together as a trio, and why they acted rashly without seeing that the Holy Star Sect was empty.

Otherwise, if they rushed in headfirst, they might actually be surrounded and wiped out by the sect's Star Array.

Now that Wan Mobai has regained some of his senses, once this matter is settled, he will inevitably have to interrogate this fellow again!
A series of thoughts flashed through Li Ye's mind, just as he thought Xingchenzi would take out the secret technique.

This person gave a bitter smile:
"However, there is actually no trace of that Transformation Mystic Technique remaining within the Holy Star Sect now..."

The expressions of Li Ye and the other two immediately changed.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this? Are you perhaps toying with us?!"

Bai Minghua snorted coldly, and the Six Desires Demon, who had surrounded Xingchenzi and restrained himself somewhat, surrounded him again.

It seemed as if they were about to take action and capture him without hesitation if things didn't go their way.

"Please, all of you, be patient and let me explain in detail!"

Xingchenzi remained calm and unhurried.

His body shone brighter, and the starlight connected to form various constellations. His supernatural powers completely blocked the black mist and the demon of six desires from getting close.

However, he only offered some resistance and did not intend to retaliate.

Bai Minghua did not press too hard, but the encirclement was no longer restrained.

Seeing that they showed no sign of turning hostile, Xingchenzi continued:

"It is true that my Holy Star Sect possesses the Transformation Mystic Technique, but this technique is an ancient one. Since the sect underwent a change and abandoned its original location, a considerable portion of the sect's heritage has been sealed within the old sect site..."

"There are chaotic restrictions, and the corpses of our sect's predecessors have mutated into a stream of corpse ghosts that wander around. Even if we gather the strength of the entire sect, we still cannot enter!" He smiled, his expression seemingly somewhat helpless.

"Even if all those ancient techniques were recovered, they would be impossible to cultivate under the conditions of the Ancient Huan Realm... Therefore, our sect has never considered recovering them. Even when other fellow Daoists come to us, I respond with the same reason."

"Since the three of you are interested in the secret techniques passed down in our sect, I don't mind taking the opportunity to retrieve all of them... After all, the existence of the mortal realm has given us cultivators a glimpse into the Nascent Soul realm, and this is precisely the time to put this method to use!"

"What do you three fellow Taoists think?"

"Since you need the help of others, why don't you go and find a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Ancient Huan Realm?"

Meng Jingde suddenly asked.

His implication was quite clear.

They were cultivators from the mortal realm, and no matter what, they were far less trustworthy than his fellow cultivators from the ancient Huan realm.

Since Xingchenzi had a plan, there was no reason for him to wait for them before remembering to invite his fellow practitioners to explore the old site of the Holy Star Sect's mountain gate!
There must be something fishy going on here!
However, Xingchenzi merely twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a calm tone:
"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten that I only came up with this idea after the descent passage opened, but by then, cultivators from both realms had already been drawn to it!"

"Especially since there are only a handful of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ancient Huan Realm, and they don't bother to conquer and seize places as rich in spiritual energy as the mortal realm, which fellow cultivator would be willing to join me in exploring the old sites of our sects?"

"Not to mention, some of my comrades have already perished... It will be quite difficult to gather enough people to accompany me!"

That's not wrong at all!
Li Ye and the other two were momentarily speechless.

They looked at each other, exchanged a few words in their minds, and then made a decision.

Meng Jingde said, "Fellow Daoist's words do make some sense. We will believe them for now and are willing to value harmony... I wonder if we can go to your sect's old site immediately?"

"Thank you all for your trust!"

Xingchenzi sincerely cupped his hands in greeting, "The battle at the front is tense, and we should set off immediately!"

"However, I have a small request that I hope you three fellow Daoists will grant..."

"Go ahead and speak freely," Meng Jingde said.

"Although this realm lacks spiritual energy, our sect possesses a method of teleportation using the power of stars, allowing for rapid travel... I hope that after obtaining the secret technique, I can use the descent passage that the three of you have come to take to the human realm."

"Of course, it will only be the next person, and he will absolutely not linger in the southern borderlands!"

Good guy!
Is he planning to use the southern border as a route to the central region and coordinate with his own sect from within?

Looking at Xingchenzi's smiling face, Li Ye couldn't help but secretly admire his idea.

Given the profound heritage of the Holy Star Sect, who knows what supernatural powers this person will unleash once he arrives in the mortal realm.

With the help of both inside and outside forces, it is not impossible for them to invade the Central Plains, seize a place, and establish themselves!
His target was Zhongzhou, and one person alone could not cause much trouble, so there seemed to be no need to refuse.

Such a person still requires extra vigilance and we must not let our guard down!

However, since they only took the Mystic Transformation Technique, yet Xingchenzi gained so much benefit, it was somewhat of a loss for them.

After a brief discussion, Li Ye and the other two demanded that, once they succeeded, Xingchenzi must provide them with a copy of all the books in the Holy Star Sect's collection that were unrelated to its direct lineage.

Such a collection of cultivation techniques from an unfamiliar realm is of great value and can serve as a valuable reference for cultivation.

Xingchenzi agreed immediately after only a moment's thought. (End of Chapter)
