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

Chapter 196 Using the power of the inner palace's restrictions, a deception
Han Li decisively separated from the three women and turned to retreat to the left side of the crossroads at a rapid pace.

The three women continued along the main road, but their pace was more than twice as slow.

As for the road to the right?
It was left empty, and was also reserved for Elder Ximen's Nascent Soul.

He is a kind-hearted person and never breaks his word.

Since he had already stated that he would only respond to the two from Jingxing Palace once, he wouldn't make things difficult for them regardless of whether they could withstand the attack. He was the kind of person who usually kept his word, unless the other party deliberately made things difficult for him.

This is not.

Unsurprisingly.

Elder Ximen's nascent soul did not choose to pursue the three women, nor did it flee to the empty path on the right. Instead, it headed straight for him on the left side of the crossroads.

Why are you pressing me so hard, senior?

"Lend me your body for a while."

The nascent soul flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Supernatural power: Instant teleportation.

In an instant, he vanished dozens of feet away.

They did this several times in a row, quickly closing in to within three zhang of Han Li.

It could almost immediately possess Han Li's body.

Beside Han Li was a stone hall, its doors closed, shimmering with white light.

This is a treasure trove that has never been opened before.

In other words, anyone who carries the fragment of the Void Heaven Map can use its power to open the portal and enter.

Once someone gets inside, it becomes impossible for outsiders to enter.

Even using other fragments of the Void Heaven Map won't work.

Each stone hall in the inner sanctuary is authentic.

"As long as I possess this mid-stage Core Formation kid and immediately enter the stone hall, I'll be safe for now."

"Barbarian Beard, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi, Ji Yin..."

"You scoundrels of both the righteous and demonic paths, once I have completed my possession and regained my cultivation, I will not let you off so easily."

Immediately, a Nascent Soul level divine sense pressure, significantly weaker than at its peak, erupted.

Although this pressure is much weaker than at its peak, it is still effective against ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

It can slow down or make a late-stage Core Formation cultivator momentarily, or momentarily disoriented.

And that one instant is often enough to determine the success or failure of a possession.

Logically speaking, this method of a Nascent Soul cultivator should be sufficient to deal with a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, let alone a mere mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

really.

The mid-stage Core Formation cultivator from the White Water Sword Sect couldn't withstand it.

I was lost in thought.

The magical shield on his body dissipated.

But what made Elder Ximen's nascent soul extremely uneasy was that, just as he was about to succeed and his nascent soul was about to enter Han Li's body, this seemingly ordinary young man curled up a contemptuous and cold smile on his lips.

The next moment, a magical hand suddenly appeared and covered him.

"what?!"

How could my divine sense pressure be ineffective?
He realized something was wrong and tried to teleport away as quickly as possible.

But at this critical moment, his consciousness inexplicably wavered for a very short time.

When he realized what was happening again, the nascent soul's face was filled with terror:

"A great cultivator at the dual Saint level!"

impossible!
It's impossible!

How could this unknown Core Formation stage brat from the White Water Sword Sect be a great cultivator? How could he possibly possess the divine sense of a great cultivator?

"Elder Ximen, why did you do this?"

You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while insisting on venturing into the gates of hell when there are none.

Holding the nascent soul covered in numerous restrictive talismans in his hand, Han Li smiled slightly.

Ximen, oh Ximen, this is exactly what we've been waiting for—you'll walk right into our trap!

If you hadn't come closer, it would have been difficult for Han to capture your Nascent Soul.

After all, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have difficulty chasing after someone with the ability to teleport.

His Wind Release technique couldn't catch up either.

However, if the other party comes to you on their own initiative, then don't blame them.

He had never seen a Nascent Soul cultivator so eager to throw himself into his arms.

Moreover, it was a Nascent Soul cultivator with a storage pouch.

Of course.

Now is not the time to celebrate.

Opening champagne halfway through a meal is unacceptable.

Barbarian Beard is the best example.

He was furious when Wan Tianming ruined the Nascent Soul he had almost obtained.

therefore.

As he carefully collected Ximen's nascent soul, he summoned the Fiend Core clone from the spirit beast pouch. Then, at the cost of sacrificing a wisp of insignificant divine consciousness, he used the Fiend Core clone of the high-level puppet to activate a fragment of the Void Heaven Map and send it into the stone hall next to it.

Just as they finished doing this, several figures caught up from around the corner a few hundred feet away.

It was Wan Tianming and Man Huzi and his group.

"Where is Ximen Lao'er's Nascent Soul?"

After the six people came before Han Li, Wan Tianming asked in a deep voice.

but.

Barbarian Beard, Qing Yi, and Ji Yin rushed forward and stood in front of Han Li, protecting him behind them.

Their eyes weren't blind; they could see that Han Li hadn't been possessed.

And in that instant, all three of them simultaneously harbored resentment:
Manhuzi: I only protected Xiao Cha because of our friendship back then and the subsequent struggle for the treasures of the Void Heaven Palace. Why is Jiyin so eager to help?
Qing Yi: I did this to conceal this Nascent Soul cultivator's existence, preventing him from being exposed too early, so he could be used as a surprise weapon during the fifth level's treasure hunt, giving the three righteous cultivators a big surprise. Furthermore, the three of them had already divided the spoils, and there was also the matter of their previous relationship, which is why I took the initiative to cover for him. Ji Yin, what's all the fuss about?

Ji Yin asked curiously, "I only stepped forward to protect this boy because he is my disciple, a top-quality Heavenly Capital Corpse material, a great help in obtaining the cauldron, and will receive a larger share of the treasure later. Why are Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi so attentive?"
The three members of the Demonic Path each had their own plans.

The three righteous individuals were united in their hatred of the enemy.

Only after Wan Tianming and the others calmed down did Ji Yin breathe a sigh of relief and ask:
"Han Li, where's that old bastard Ximen? Where did he go?"

"Reporting to Master, in order to protect myself, I had no choice but to use a late-stage Foundation Establishment corpse as my shield. It seems that the elder of the Star Palace possessed that corpse and then used a fragment of the Void Heaven Map to enter this secret chamber of the stone hall."

Han Li was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Upon hearing this, the six people looked on with suspicion.

But take a look at the stone hall beside the passage:
"Someone did go in."

The six of them stared at each other in disbelief.

"Wan Tianming, look at the mess you've made! Because of you, we've lost crucial information about the Star Palace and the Void Heaven Palace."

The bearded man pointed at Master Wan and cursed him.

The three righteous individuals had dark faces but couldn't refute it.

Those who can enter the stone hall must be able to use their magic and carry a fragment of the Void Heaven Map.

Previously, they had personally witnessed three girls walking down the main road, and now, Han Li had not been possessed by Ximen. Therefore, the one who had been possessed must be something else entirely.

Therefore, Han Li's statement is 80% true.

They desperately wanted to search Han Li's soul to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence.

But seeing the way the three demonic cultivators were protecting their own, it was clear that it was impossible.

"Old man Ximen's storage bag isn't here. It seems he really has escaped."

Tianwuzi suddenly said regretfully.

"Did you take the storage bag with you too? That makes sense."

The thin, dark-skinned old man shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity, what a pity. Alas, if the restrictions on the use of divine sense in the inner sanctum were a little weaker, I would have been able to see what was happening here earlier."

Pity.

Master Wan lamented inwardly.

When a Nascent Soul cultivator is here, their divine sense is greatly limited. Although it is not as difficult for their divine sense to leave their body as it is in the Treasure Light Pavilion, it can only extend a few hundred feet.

Even at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it can only spread out to a little over a thousand feet.

This is the restrictive technique used by powerful beings of ancient times.

Han Li dared to deceive the six Nascent Soul stage cultivators because he had this in mind.

Even his divine sense could only extend to a little over two thousand feet, so one can only imagine the situation for the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

therefore.

If he could increase the distance to three thousand feet and avoid the sight of others, he could easily complete the previous operation quickly.

As for where Elder Ximen hid his storage bag?

The fragments of the silk handkerchief magic treasure perfectly concealed the energy of the storage bag!
　Let's post them together, it'll be more enjoyable to read.
