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

Chapter 222 You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die.

A few months later.

The group of four traveled thousands of miles to a monster island 20 million miles south of Silver Shark Island.

Of the dozens of monster islands in the outer sea, Silver Shark Island is the northernmost.

However, he wouldn't be so foolish as to walk back to Tianxing City from Silver Shark Island.

I understand everything I understand.

If you have plenty of time, it's much safer to switch to a monster island.

To this end, he also taught the three women the "Nameless Breath Concealment Technique" and the "Shape Transformation Technique" from the Xuan Yin Scripture, allowing them to disguise themselves as late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Han Li himself was at the early stage of Core Formation.

It's really too eye-catching to have three Nascent Soul stage cultivators leading one Core Formation stage cultivator.

A Core Formation stage 1 cultivator leading three Foundation Establishment stage 3 cultivators isn't that conspicuous.

As the group entered the area of ​​White Fish Island, they encountered an increasing number of cultivators along the way.

The outer region, spanning millions of miles, is mostly in the Core Formation stage.

These high-level cultivators primarily hunt high-level demonic beasts.

The malevolent aura emanating from his body was extremely concentrated.

Even with only the half-finished Mingqing Spirit Eye, one could clearly see the thick layer of ferocious aura emanating from the demon hunter.

Just as the four of them began to slow down their escape and travel quietly, three Core Formation cultivators who were in a group approached them uninvited.

From afar, the voice carried:
"Fellow Daoists, would you be interested in hunting demons together? The three of us have discovered a wounded Level 6 Fire Dragon several thousand miles away. We only need one more cultivator of the same level to form the Four Elements Formation. If we can successfully form the killing formation, we will surely be able to trap and kill it."

The three women looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"No, we have important matters to attend to. If the three of you are short of people, you may seek other fellow Daoists."

After Han Li politely declined, he ignored her and continued to fly away on his own with the three women.

“Fellow Daoist, we have been waiting here for several days in search of someone of the same level. Since we have met you, it must be fate. Moreover, time waits for no one. That injured Fire Dragon may go elsewhere at any time, so we must not delay any longer.”

The three of them caught up and continued to try to persuade him to stay.

Their escape techniques are three times faster than ordinary Core Formation escape techniques.

This also meant that Han Li, who was flying with the three women in his airship, could not immediately shake them off.

"The three of you should not force yourselves, lest misunderstandings arise."

Han Li sighed softly.

They simply stopped the airship.

Two of the three people behind were overjoyed upon seeing this.

One person, however, became suspicious.

Instinctively, he slowed down.

Because he always felt that something was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist, it must be very tiring for you to protect three female cultivators all by yourself outside."

"Yes, why don't we team up and protect you together?"

The two flying ahead each spoke a sentence, grinning maliciously.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this.

Originally, when faced with such a calamity, he adhered to the principle of "it's better to avoid trouble" and did not want to interfere or bully the weak.

As long as you don't provoke him, he won't do anything to these tribulations.

Sometimes, however, being low-key and yielding doesn't really bring peace and tranquility.

There's a path to heaven, but these three won't take it.

Hell has no gates, yet I bravely venture forth.

This is truly ironic…

"never mind."

Kill him.

A small gift package for Core Formation stage cultivators delivered to your door—why not take it? Even a small gift is still a gift.

He immediately spread his divine sense throughout the area, covering a radius of nearly four hundred miles.

After confirming that there were no outsiders in the area, he glanced back at the three women and casually instructed them:
"Go ahead, one for each of you."

He himself did not take any further action from beginning to end.

He didn't need to lift a finger.

The purpose of the three sword attendants is simply to help him share his burdens, isn't it?

Gan Rushuang, who had been itching to make a move, released the Vermilion Bird Ring from her hand after receiving a signal.

Upon seeing the magical artifact, the Vermilion Bird Ring, the three pursuers were immediately stunned.

what's the situation?
Wasn't he just at the Foundation Establishment stage?
How did it suddenly become...?

"A Nascent Soul stage ancestor?!"

All three of them looked horrified.

The person who was deliberately a step behind turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Damn it!
He felt that something was off.

It turns out he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in disguise.

escape.

Run away quickly.

I just hope I can escape this calamity.

Essence and blood, burning…

escape!
Blood Escape Technique!
The man was so anxious he was almost crying, and he was filled with deep regret. He was burning his life essence with all his might, without holding back.

Good heavens, three Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

There are three of them.

Three!

What merit or ability do the three of us have to enjoy such bad luck?
"Hmph, now that you're here, you're not leaving."

Yanli and Yuanyao were not slow either.

Yanli raised her hand and presented five rings of different colors.

It is the Five Elements Ring.

The Five Elements Ring slipped from his hand, spun rapidly, and vanished in the blink of an eye. When it reappeared, it was already wrapped around the person at the very back, the one who was also the first to try to escape.

One was put on each of the four limbs, and another was put around the neck.

The Five Elements Ring can restrict the true essence of magic power within the five elements, making it difficult for cultivators to mobilize the magic power within their bodies.

Once a collar is put on, one is almost no different from an ordinary person.

the other side.

Gan Rushuang wanted to kill one and capture the other alive.

As the Vermilion Bird Ring was unleashed, a magical chain lashed out at the second person.

but.

Yuan Yao's attack was delayed but arrived first.

The stunningly beautiful woman took out an antique pipa, and with a gentle touch of her delicate fingers, the sound of the pipa entered their ears:

"The three of you, why don't you stay?"

In an instant, the two early-stage Core Formation cultivators were stunned, their eyes becoming unfocused.

The two were instantly hallucinated by the sound of a pipa and pulled into an illusion.

Exquisite antique: The Illusory Sound Pipa.

The sound of strings has a hallucinogenic effect.

This treasure is one of the finest ancient treasures acquired from the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion in the Void Heaven Palace.

The effect would be even better if used in conjunction with the ancient treasure drum in Yuan Yao's possession.

Gan Rushuang, whose target had been snatched away, raised an eyebrow slightly.

After taking a deep breath, she retrieved the Vermilion Bird Ring and the magic chains.

Compared to the two women's radiant beauty, she was far too slow in some aspects, which definitely put her at a disadvantage.

At this point, it seemed that all three cultivators had been captured.

However, Han Li transmitted his voice to Yanli, who had become somewhat less vigilant:
"Your prey is about to escape."

Yanli was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

She turned her head to look at the cultivator she had trapped with the Five Elements Rings, which was more than ten miles away.

However, at this moment, the cultivator who had previously lost the ability to move and could only fall diagonally downwards into the sea with a splash due to inertia actually began to use water escape techniques.

It seemed completely unaffected by the Five Elements Ring. "What's going on?"

Not only Yanli was puzzled, but Yuan Yao was also puzzled.

"The Five Elements Rings don't just imprison a cultivator's spiritual energy and true essence; they also freeze a person in place, so he shouldn't have fallen into the water. Also, look at the position where he's encircled by the Five Elements Rings—isn't there something separating him?"

Upon hearing this, the three women immediately extended their divine senses over.

The next moment, they noticed that the area encircled by the Five Elements Rings was frozen by a thin layer of frost.

"Ice Armor?"

"I see. This is because the Ice Armor Technique is first used to form a layer of ice armor on the skin's surface, thereby isolating the Five Elements Ring from the confinement of magical essence."

The person was not completely imprisoned.

"Furthermore, the Ancient Treasure Five Elements Ring is specifically designed for the five elements of spiritual power. While it may have some effect on those with unusual spiritual roots, it will be significantly less effective..."

It was due to the influence of two major factors that the Five Elements Ring was unable to fully exert its powerful binding ability.

Gan Rushuang succinctly revealed the key to the matter.

Upon hearing this, Yanli's pretty face flushed slightly.

She was naturally familiar with the Ice Armor Technique.

This is merely a basic to intermediate-level spell that cultivators with ice spirit roots can freely cast.

This is very rare in battles between cultivators because the defensive strength is not high.

Unexpectedly, this cultivator's skillful manipulation of the situation allowed him to escape unscathed.

of course.

At most, it's just a lucky break.

Locked on by the divine senses of three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, escape was impossible within a distance of over ten miles, whether ascending to the heavens or descending to the earth. Moreover, the Five Elements Ring wasn't entirely useless.

However, this experience taught Yuan Yao and Yanli a lesson. It warned them not to be too superstitious about the ancient treasures they possessed.

This person probably just got lucky.

However, those cunning and treacherous Nascent Soul stage monsters might very well use these small details to launch a counterattack.

We must not let ourselves be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

...

Before long, all three were captured alive.

"Senior, spare my life, senior..."

"Senior, we know we were wrong, and we will never be a Tribulation Cultivator again."

"Seniors..."

The three cultivators awoke with faces filled with despair.

Their magical powers were sealed, leaving them at the mercy of others.

"Are you aware of your mistake?"

Han Li asked in surprise.

"Yes, yes, the three of us know we were wrong. We have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise..."

The three wept bitterly, their will to survive was very strong.

"No, I think you don't know you're wrong, but rather that you know you're going to die."

Han Li narrowed his eyes.

"Moreover, you three are at the Core Formation stage, which is fine as long as you have young children, but you also have elderly parents to care for... This is really troubling me!"

Those older generations at the Core Formation stage might actually be Nascent Soul stage monsters.

The three people: "..."

"Senior, that's not what I meant."

"Senior, I really know I was wrong."

Han Li, however, was too lazy to pay attention to the three of them and instead turned to look at Gan Rushuang and Yuan Yao:
“The three of us will each search the souls of one of the three of them to gather information.”

Three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, one to search the soul of a prisoner, and one to capture a captive—it's just right.

Gan Rushuang caught the person tossed to her and nodded in response without the slightest hesitation:

"it is good."

After taking the person, she pressed her jade hand down on the head of this unlucky cultivator.

It was quite refreshing.

Yuan Yao, however, stiffened slightly for a moment.

Han Li saw this but was not surprised.

obviously.

Yuan Yao's behavior stemmed from a lack of experience in the baptism of corpses and seas of blood, and from her lack of experience in brutal struggles, thus exhibiting a degree of womanly compassion. In contrast, the original Yuan Yao, who had endured the pursuit of the Qingyang Sect and various trials and tribulations, possessed an unwavering Dao heart and would not have hesitated in the slightest.

But in this timeline, Yuan Yao was protected by him too well.

That is why Han Li specifically asked him to search the soul.

Three people, each searching one soul.

Only in this way, only by letting Yuan Yao personally search her soul, feel it, and understand what despicable things this tribulation cultivator had done, can her gentle and passionate heart be given an extra layer of protection.

To prevent this girl from becoming an overly kind person.

And the results seem to be pretty good.

Sure enough, after two or three hours of soul-searching, Yuan Yao's eyes were no longer the "foolish clarity" they once had.

It has changed so much since I came out of the Void Heaven Palace.

It became much sharper.

"Indeed, the method of forming an infant and searching the soul is the quickest way to transform a person's state of mind."

Han Li, who was standing to the side, watched this and thought to himself.

He also wanted to keep Yuan Yao and Yanli by his side, but that might not be realistic.

If they don't choose the path of ghost cultivation, the two women must first learn to stand on their own.

"how do you feel?"

Han Li smiled as he looked at Gan Rushuang and Yuan Yao.

"I believe that these few treacherous cultivators who have caused so much harm should be executed."

Gan Rushuang spoke calmly.

Yuan Yao pursed her lips, looking slightly ashamed:

"Thank you, my husband."

She's not stupid; how could she not understand her man's good intentions?
Actually, she wasn't initially reluctant to take action against these three obviously scum of the cultivation world who were undergoing tribulation cultivation, but rather she was somewhat unaccustomed to the methods of the Nascent Soul stage.

Directly searching the soul is still too crude.

"Search a few more souls, and you'll get used to it."

Soul-searching should not be used too often, but it shouldn't be left unused either.

"Also, you should cover your faces a bit more, they're still too beautiful."

Han Li said helplessly.

As they spoke, he easily collected three storage bags.

The three women had actually used the Transformation Technique to change their appearances, making them appear much more ordinary.

But to outsiders, she is still a top-tier beauty.

In particular, the combination of these three different qualities makes them even more captivating.

Moreover, Han Li's unremarkable appearance serves as a foil.

...

A million miles, and it flew by very quickly.

Within a million miles of White Fish Island's waters, this area becomes predominantly populated by Foundation Establishment cultivators and is more active. Some of these cultivators form demon-hunting teams to hunt demons together, while others, with exceptional skills and daring, act as lone wolves or solitary adventurers.

Once you reach the 300,000-mile range, you can even see cultivators in the Qi Refining stage one after another.

"Young Master, shall we take the teleportation array back to Tianxing City now?"

Gan Rushuang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

She tucked each strand of her hair behind her ears.

Han Li smiled and shook his head upon seeing this:

“No rush. Those three Tribulation Cultivators have been away from White Fish Island for almost half a year. In other words, they haven’t updated the current situation in Tianxing City for half a year. Let’s stay on White Fish Island and inquire more about the situation before making a decision.”

The four then split up and acted separately.

They each went to the inns and shops on the island to inquire about information, and then met up again to summarize their findings.
