A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 190 Extreme Yin's Small Request

That's really petty.

As high-ranking members of the Star Palace, the two of them could not possibly be unaware of the treacherous situation in the Chaotic Star Sea.

The war between the Star Palace and the righteous and demonic paths is inevitable.

Since we're going to break off relations anyway, why not take advantage of our strengths to proactively break off relations, seize the initiative, and take the lead?
If the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace are utilized, and a two-on-one strategy is employed to eliminate either a lone Nascent Soul cultivator from the righteous or demonic paths, thus disrupting the balance of power between the two sides, then the subsequent struggle for the inner palace will undoubtedly be very different.

Because no one from the Star Palace has ever set foot in the inner palace before!

In this situation, neither the righteous nor the demonic factions will be on guard against the Star Palace once they enter the inner hall!

Once inside, the stronger party, seeing the weaker party showing weakness, is very likely to press their advantage and launch a major attack on the weaker party in order to obtain the treasures within the Void Cauldron.

At that time, it is possible that both sides will fight a fierce battle.

Even if the attempt to start a war fails, what can a few Nascent Soul stage monsters from both the righteous and demonic paths do?
Can't we dismantle the Void Heaven Palace and capture those two?
The two individuals, who possess numerous restrictions and permissions of the Void Heaven Palace, are naturally invincible, possessing the ability to "attack or defend as needed."

The principle is either not to do it at all, or to do it thoroughly.

As a result, they were caught in a dilemma.

They're only using the Black Desert and Blood Ice Forest to deal with some Core Formation stage cultivators?!
Still putting on this fake act.

This is far too short-sighted and lacks courage.

That's too petty.

What good would killing off a few Core Formation stage cultivators do for the overall situation?

It's definitely a thankless task.

Not only did it have no positive significance, it also made people dislike it for no reason, and incidentally exposed the extent to which the Star Palace's higher-ups controlled the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace.

Moreover, this despicable behavior is simply provoking and encouraging the righteous and demonic factions to quickly unite, and making the other independent cultivators and neutral forces increasingly disappointed with the Star Palace, turning them against it and sharing a common hatred for the Star Palace.

It may seem like they're picking on the weak, but in reality, they're making enemies in multiple places.

This is a classic case of "getting nothing done and getting yourself into trouble instead".

"If most of the Nascent Soul stage leaders in the Star Palace are such short-sighted individuals, should I still join?"

Han Li hesitated.

Compare the three people from Luoyun Sect who won over Master Hongfu, especially Master Muli who protected Master Hongfu before his death. Elder Ximen and his companion are nothing more than two vermin from the sewers.

immediately.

He suddenly felt that the facade of the White Water Sword Sect wasn't so appealing anymore.

"What was my original intention in joining the White Water Sword Sect back then?"

...

On one hand, it's for the sake of an identity.

This will make it easier to join the constellation later.

It's nice to have a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade.

On the other hand, it was to obtain sea charts of the outer star sea from the Star Palace, thereby reducing the time spent searching for Biling Island.

Before he could even be introduced to the Star Palace, two Core Formation cultivators from the White Water Sword Sect had already taken care of things for him. A large number of nautical charts of the Silver Shark Island area and the area north of Silver Shark Island came into his possession.

Although the information provided by those nautical charts was not detailed and they were not the detailed nautical charts that the Star Palace possessed, they still helped him a lot.

He remembered the kindness shown to him by the White Water Sword Sect.

That's why I had an initial good impression of Hoshiguma back then.

I think Ling Xiaofeng is quite insightful, has a broad perspective, and is very calculating. Theoretically, Xinggong's foundation shouldn't be too bad.

result.

Elder Ximen and two Nascent Soul stage elders pulled a huge wave of trouble for him, making him seriously doubt the abilities and vision of the Star Palace's higher-ups.

"Forget it, this Star Palace... it's better not to add it."

The worst thing about joining a faction is that it turns into a free-for-all situation.

It should be understood that the Star Palace has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the various families that make up this behemoth have complex relationships and intertwined interests. Even if he joins forces with Ling Yuling to successfully take over such a large Star Palace, the troubles that follow will be enough to consume a lot of his energy.

He shouldn't end up being the only one racking his brains and working hard while everyone else just lies around enjoying themselves; otherwise, his original intention of joining the faction would be distorted.

No sense anymore.

Moreover, with the resources he currently possesses, whether it's the ancient teleportation array connecting the Southern Lands and the Chaotic Star Sea, or Biling Island, they are enough to bring him astonishing wealth and cultivation resources.

With just these two resources, it seems he no longer needs to join or rely on the Star Palace.

Ok.

It's not that it seems unnecessary, but that the constellation is completely unnecessary!

In the Inner Star Sea, whether it's the Star Palace that has the final say or the righteous and demonic paths that have the final say, it doesn't affect him at all.

Furthermore.

In the future, he will most likely gain control of the Crimson Forbidden Land, Seven Spirits Island, part of the Fallen Demon Valley, the Small Extreme Palace in the far north of the Great Jin Dynasty, as well as the Void Heaven Palace and Kunwu Mountain of the Great Jin Dynasty, etc.

Since he possesses valuable information about numerous lands of creation, why is he so eager to join various powerful forces?

Shouldn't it be that all parties are doing their best to win him over?

With these valuable resources at his disposal, or rather, with important intelligence about these resources, why would he bother to stoop down and pick up other people's scraps?
The intelligence he possesses, even just a few pieces, is enough to rebuild a star palace.

"I am no longer in the Core Formation stage."

"We have long since skipped the stage of initial accumulation."

"Joining a deeply entrenched faction will not only subject you to constraints from existing interest groups, but will also bring you all sorts of troubles."

inappropriate.

Why let Elder Ximen, who has different beliefs, values, and interests, drag us down? He's a short-sighted person who's good for nothing but causing trouble.
The Twin Saints of Tianxing would never go all in on him like Cheng Tiankun of Luoyun Sect and Lü Luo did with the original body, nor would they trust him, appreciate him, or think about finding a son-in-law like Master Hongfu did.

The two saints were unaware of his hidden value, and they certainly wouldn't go all in on him.

For a moment.

Han Li thought about it a lot.

I've also figured out a lot of things.

When he looked up at the two elders of the Star Palace again, his gaze was even more amiable!

However, a murderous glint flashed deep in his eyes!
"You two, because of your own calculations and positions, have framed me and my woman. I am a magnanimous person and understand some of your thoughts. Since I have survived, I will not stoop to your level."

"so…"

"For the sake of fairness, I'll also put you two on the same footing because of my position and my personal interests."

"You two...you absolutely must survive."

...

Elder Ximen and Elder Simen of the Star Palace were unaware of the changes in Han Li's mindset.

They wouldn't even notice the "return gift" hidden beneath that smile.

At this moment, the two pointed to the four portals that suddenly opened with a rumble around the space.

"Of these four passages, three lead to a pavilion. Each pavilion contains different items, including ancient treasures, elixirs, and cultivation techniques left behind by ancient cultivators."

"Many treasures are sealed with restrictions, and each person only has one chance to obtain them."

"The moment you obtain any item, you will be immediately teleported to the next level, the [Exquisite Illusion], by the omnipresent teleportation restriction within the attic."

"As for the last passage, it leads directly to the next level. Whoever goes in there is just unlucky and has wasted their time."

"Furthermore, the restrictions here are quite peculiar. The passages do not lead to fixed locations. Once you step into any of them, you will be unable to turn back or return the way you came. If you do not wish to venture into the Mysterious Illusionary Realm, simply refrain from thinking of taking the treasures and wait with us in this stone hall for a while, and you will be automatically teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace."

"Fellow Daoists, please make yourselves at home..."

Elder Ximen smiled kindly.

They showed no intention of getting up and entering any of the passages.

Another elderly man in white from the Star Palace also sat upright and nodded:

"Gentlemen, you'd better take care of yourselves."

Those who belong to the Star Palace will not enter the inner sanctum.

This is the common understanding held by everyone during many explorations of the Void Palace dungeon.

"My husband, how should we choose?"

“Yuan Yao, take the Icefire Wolf and choose any path. If you find the ‘Treasure Pavilion’ where ancient treasures are stored, immediately crush the Forbidden God Token and this Purple Light Sensing Bead, and I will follow you in. If it’s any other pavilion, then forget it and you can take the treasure yourself.”

Han Li transmitted his voice.

When the passage opens, other means of transmitting information are useless, but the death information of certain things transmitted by the Forbidden God Token is timely and accurate. "Good."

Yuan Yao nodded and then left alone.

Yuan Yao possesses a "Spirit Purification Talisman" obtained by the young master of the Qingyang Sect from the Three Yang Old Demon. It is an extremely rare high-level auxiliary talisman.

Carrying this treasure can calm the mind and nourish one's energy, and ward off external evil influences. It is an excellent talisman for resisting illusions.

This was also the greatest reliance that allowed Yuan Yao in the original trajectory to break through the wondrous illusion.

He believed that this woman, with her higher cultivation level and enhanced divine sense from cultivating the second level of the Great Evolution Technique, would not disappoint him.

"My husband, what about me?"

Yanli blinked.

By this time, half the people inside the stone hall were gone.

"No rush, I'll go sound out someone and see if I can get you something better."

As Han Li spoke, he looked at the two elders of the Star Palace and attempted to transmit his voice:

"Seniors, I am Han Li from the White Water Sword Sect. I have come here hoping to acquire a useful ancient treasure. Could you please show me the way?"

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Elder Ximen and Elder Du were taken aback for a moment.

Upon seeing Han Li's eager gaze, he immediately realized what was happening.

The fact that the White Water Sword Sect was a branch of the Star Palace was largely unknown to most outside forces, but those who were high-ranking members of the Star Palace's Nascent Soul stage knew about it.

Therefore, they hesitated for a while.

Just as one of them was about to speak up to refuse this point and assert the fairness and impartiality of the Star Palace, Elder Ximen spoke first:

"Let's take that road. Judging from the pattern, it should lead to Baoguang Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, the other person from the Star Palace showed a fleeting look of surprise in their eyes, but quickly regained their composure and put on a kind smile.

Although he didn't understand why his old friend would deceive the young man from the White Water Sword Sect's branch, he wouldn't expose him at this time.

"Thank you, senior."

Han Li bowed.

He then walked toward the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the demonic path who were waiting for him.

At this moment, Ji Yin was being intentionally or unintentionally blocked by Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi.

Ji Yin was completely baffled by this.

It wasn't until Han Li took out a ball of spider silk and pointed it at Yanli that Ji Yin, whose mood had been terrible, suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if the storm had passed.

Their eyes lit up.

"Young friend, do you mean that the three of you should each contribute a level-four Blood Jade Spider, and then during the treasure hunt at the Void Heaven Palace, all the treasures will be divided into five equal parts? Brother Man, two portions; Brother Qing, one portion; my Extreme Yin Island, one portion; and the three of you at the Core Formation stage, one portion each?"

"good."

Han Li nodded.

"Brother Man has already lent out the Imperial Scale Armor and the Frost Pearl? And Brother Qing has gifted you the Azure Nether Needle Talisman?"

The extreme yin asked again.

"Yes."

Han Li nodded again.

“Alright, I can lend my jewel to that little girl, but you must become my disciple.”

Extreme Yin's heart was moved.

Their desire to take on apprentices is quite obvious.

Han Li: ...?!

Upon hearing this, the bearded man almost burst out laughing.

Finally, he simply grinned, revealing a set of snow-white teeth.

Looking at Ji Yin and Han Li, who was "disguised as Xuan Gu in terms of identity," one had a big eye and the other a small eye.

"Brother Man, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are they twitching?"

Extreme Yin does not understand the Dao.

"I want you to take care of it?"

Barbarian Beard snorted coldly.

Then he looked at Han Li:

Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will hold back and won't laugh.

"Hahaha…"

Did Ji Yin take Xiao Cha as his disciple?
A disciple accepts his master as a disciple?
Hahaha…

Beside him, the scholar in the Confucian robe, Qingyi Jushi, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, what's wrong with you again?"

Extremely confused.

I always felt that Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi were a bit crazy.

"It's nothing, it's nothing...cough cough, cough cough..."

Qingyi waved his hands repeatedly and coughed lightly.

Ji Yin, a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, wants to take another Nascent Soul cultivator as his disciple, all for the other's benefit? Ji Yin really dares to think that way.

However, what Qing Yi found even more unbelievable was that Han Li nodded in agreement after a moment's thought:

"can."

Barbarian Beard: ...?
Can you tolerate this?

"Brother Xiao, you've grown up."

...

The location of the two people in the Star Palace.

"Brother Ximen, the path you pointed out is clearly the one that leads directly to the wondrous illusionary realm but yields nothing, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"Why...why would we lie to that kid from the White Water Sword Sect? He is, after all, a branch of our Star Palace. His actions seem like he wants to ease tensions with us. Wearing the White Water Sword Sect's robes at the beginning was probably to seek some protection, wasn't it?"

It would be one thing if we didn't offer protection, but to scheme against them again and again, isn't that a bit too cruel?

"Fellow Daoist, I also made one wrong step, and then another."

"Is it because of what happened before?"

"Hmm, that kid definitely harbors resentment towards us after what happened in the Ice and Fire Path. If he tells the other high-ranking cultivators of the White Water Sword Sect about what happened here, our reputations within the Star Palace will be ruined. Even if there were some justification..."

There is no room for maneuver regarding the Ice and Fire Path.

I received the purple light sensing bead by pure accident.

But no matter which one it was, it seemed to have ruined the kid's plans.

He had no interest in lowering himself to improve relations with a mere Core Formation stage cultivator; he would be more inclined to do so with a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

He had no interest in testing whether the other party held a grudge against him; it was better to be ruthless than to waste his energy on that.

"Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't want us to be pointed at and gossiped about inside the Star Palace, would you?"

"Hiss. This..."

Since it concerned their own interests, the other person didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

"Furthermore, do you think that Barbarian Beard and his men would intercept our conversations with them?"

Elder Ximen smiled slyly.

The other person immediately narrowed his eyes:
"They'll definitely intercept the conversation. Could it be that you're planning to trick Barbarian Beard and his gang?"

"That's right, I was misleading the barbarian bearded men of the demonic path, making those few demons who were eavesdropping on the conversation gain nothing. The barbarian bearded men couldn't intercept our conversation, but they could definitely intercept that kid's conversation. As long as a Nascent Soul cultivator believes what we said to that kid, tsk tsk."

Even though I'm only at the Core Formation stage, let me shine for the Star Palace one more time.

Ximen's eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless pool.

The other person immediately understood:
"I see."
