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

Chapter 246 Searched for by the Two Saints for Decades? Something's fishy! (Bonus Chapter for 1000 Weekly Recommendations)
"Six Extremes True Demon Art?"

At this moment, Zi Ling's heart was pounding.

When he looked up, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She was well aware of its reputation as the number one demonic cultivation technique in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Even if what they have now is just a fragment of a manual that leads directly to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it is still a method that countless high-level cultivators dream of.

"senior…"

The stunningly beautiful girl suddenly looked up.

But by then, Han Li had already left.

Upon seeing this, the girl bit her lip lightly, her expression complex.

Outside the cave, Han Li took a breath of fresh air.

Giving him the Six Extremes True Demon Technique was the path he had arranged for Zi Ling.

Originally, his plan for this girl's growth was to help her cultivate the Yinluo Sect's "Heavenly Fiend True Demon Art," then have her meet the divided soul of the Yuan Sha Saint Master of Kunwu Mountain, attracting the attention of that Saint Master of the Demon Realm. Then, that Saint Master would intervene and escort Zi Ling to the Demon Realm.

But after much thought, I decided to return to the original path and remain under constant threat from another Holy Lord.

Zi Ling is ultimately not suited to take the easier path.

...

Just as he destroyed Wen Tianren's physical body, countless miles away, in a palace hall on a giant island spanning thousands of miles, a middle-aged man who was discussing the Dao with several female cultivators in the late Core Formation stage suddenly changed his expression.

"Your Majesty, what has happened?"

A female cultivator, who was quite favored, asked with a charming smile.

The middle-aged man didn't say much, but simply stood up calmly.

He then prepared to leave the Bronze Sparrow Terrace that he had built.

Inside the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, there were over twenty beautiful women, all of whom were at the Core Formation stage. Among them, twelve were at the late Core Formation stage. Hundreds of years ago, his cultivation was able to advance further to the late Nascent Soul stage thanks to the older generation of maids who had passed away. This new generation of maids helped him reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage even faster.

Therefore, he still had feelings for these female cultivators and was willing to spend some time enjoying their singing and playing of musical instruments.

And just as middle age is taking its second step.

Beside him, a female cultivator at the peak of the late Core Formation stage stepped forward and bound one of the middle-aged man's arms with her jade-like arms and soft breasts:
"Your Majesty, if you are going out, please take me with you..."

This was originally just a common act of vying for favor, but the next moment, terrifying demonic fire ignited on the woman's body.

In just a breath or two, this graceful and voluptuous beauty, this dignified late-stage Core Formation cultivator, was reduced to ashes. The grim-faced middle-aged man flicked his sleeve, and in the end, not even a trace remained of her. Even her golden core was burned away.

The middle-aged man then continued walking away from that place without stopping.

This scene stunned everyone present.

The twenty-odd female cultivators were dumbfounded.

They all shivered immediately.

All the sounds of playing wind instruments and singing vanished instantly.

The whole audience was silent.

Heavy breathing could only be heard in the hall long after the middle-aged man had left.

How could this be?
why?
no one knows.

All the women knew was that the number one demonic cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea was in an extremely bad mood just now, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his temper so much.

...

Not long after Han Li returned to Kui Xing Island.

Following the special mark inside Wen Tianren's storage bag, the Six Paths Supreme Saint tracked down to the vicinity of one of the twelve inner star islands.

A streak of light appeared on the horizon, moving incredibly fast.

Before the light disappeared, a small magical flag could be vaguely seen.

"How come this is Star Palace's territory?"

We arrived at that cave.

Upon entering, the middle-aged man's expression grew even more somber.

With a swift reach, a handful of black ash appeared in his palm.

"This is…"

"The body was destroyed to cover up the evidence?"

who is it?

"Those with the motive and the ability to kill Ren'er are most likely the Nascent Soul stage old monsters of the Star Palace. Moreover, there was more than one perpetrator; they probably knew the route of Ren'er and her group of more than ten people in advance, indicating a premeditated ambush..."

Otherwise, their own disciple would not have perished so silently.

Among those maids, there must have been some who slipped through the net.

"It seems that there are quite a few traitors from the Star Palace hidden within our Reverse Star Alliance. Otherwise, how could the old guys in the Star Palace know Ren'er's movements so clearly?"

"Star Palace, Ling Xiaofeng, you're very good..."

We're not done yet.

...

Tiannan.

Yellow Maple Valley.

Hongying Mountain.

It's that time of year again when wildflowers are in full bloom.

Dong Xuan'er sat alone in the jade pavilion halfway up the mountain, drinking her sorrows away.

"It's been almost two hundred years, and Master and my two senior sisters still come back every ten or twenty years. But my junior brother, he's only come back once. Once..."

As he spoke, he leaned over the stone table, placing the wine cup in front of his eyes. The cup swayed, and several afterimages could be clearly seen.

Reflected in the wine, his eyes were filled with reminiscence and worry:
“Junior brother, ever since I began to fear the Ancestor and formed a mental block, my cultivation has been stuck at a bottleneck for many years. I have never been able to cross the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation. On the contrary, that fellow Tian Buque recently entered the late-stage Core Formation and directly surpassed me.”

"I'm so worried that if things continue like this, we'll just become another bargaining chip for the patriarch's marriage alliance with the Tian family..."

The Tian family boasts three members at the Nascent Soul stage, with Sect Master Tian having even reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Once a marriage proposal is made, Ancestor Yunlu will most likely not refuse the other party's request.

What will she do then?

"Junior brother, when will you come back and take me away?"

"I long to go back to my carefree life..."

The next moment, a hiccup came from inside the jade pavilion.

Then came the sound of snoring.

In the grass outside the jade pavilion, countless empty wine bottles had been discarded and piled up.

Four other mantises, each about ten feet long, with blue markings all over their bodies and golden lines along their backs, lurked among the flowers and plants, concealed by a faint gray mist.

They were four golden-backed mantises.

The aura they exuded was all at the peak of the fourth level without exception.

...

Kui Xing Island.

Upon his return, Han Li received news that left him in a similarly bad mood.

That is: Xinggong has been searching for someone all these years.

Find a Core Formation elder from the White Water Sword Sect named Han Li. "Where did you get this information from?"

Han Li looked at Hu Guang, the head of the intelligence department.

"Reporting to the sect master, the Star Palace has recently offered a high reward, rewarding anyone who can provide useful clues with various cultivation supplies or spiritual materials."

This is practically a bounty.

Do you know who assigned this task?

"They are said to be the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Stars."

Hu Guang replied respectfully.

"Why are Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing looking for me?"

"Wait, could it be that they discovered the hidden dangers of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light in advance, and knew that all five elements are required for the Divine Light to reach its full potential? They came to me because I am in the Core Formation stage with four pseudo-spiritual roots, and I only need to make up for the missing metal spiritual root."

"What exactly are the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Stars trying to do?"

"... "

For some reason, Han Li had a bad feeling.

Suddenly I felt a little restless and agitated.

Realizing something was amiss, he decided to secretly investigate the White Water Sword Sect to find out what was going on.

Before leaving, he summoned Yuan Yao and threw out the soft armor that Wen Tianren was wearing.

"Give."

"Husband, what is this?"

"The inner armor of Wen Tianren, the young master of Holy Demon Island, has a very good defensive effect, no less than Yanli's Royal Scale Armor. You can take it."

He is not one to show favoritism.

"And what about you, my husband?"

"The Gold-Eating Armor is enough for me."

The armor formed by thousands of level 5 or 6 gold-devouring insects has a defensive strength only higher than the Royal Scale Armor and this set of soft armor.

"Thank you, husband."

The beautiful woman smiled radiantly.

Actually, she's happy no matter what the gift is, as long as it's from her husband.

Han Li smiled with delight upon seeing this.

Spending time with Yuan Yaoyan was indeed much more relaxed.

...

Afterwards, he met with Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi and told them some of his speculations.

"Sect Master, do you mean that Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing might be able to break out of Tianxing City? But how is that possible? Aren't they unable to leave because they cultivated the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light?"

Qingyi asked in surprise.

“Normally, it is indeed impossible to leave, but according to my calculations, the Yuanci Divine Mountain has a period of weakness every hundred years. At that time, the restrictions on the two saints are minimal. It is not impossible for them to break out of Tianxing City.”

Han Li spoke up to remind him:

"In short, we must be on guard."

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi stared at each other for a long time.

Can such things really be predicted?
Our sect leader's methods are truly formidable.

"Understood. We will prepare more contingency plans to better deal with the two saints."

It concerns our lives, so we must take it seriously.

"I'll be leaving for a while, at least a month or two, maybe a year or two. Until I come back, I'll stay as low-key as possible. Oh, and don't go to the Reverse Star Alliance headquarters; that's the most dangerous place."

"Alright, go and come back soon. You can rest assured, Qingyi and I will not leave the mountain gate easily."

The bearded man patted his chest and said.

It would be better to send him somewhere else.

Let's forget about sending him to the headquarters of the Reverse Star Alliance to see the Six Paths Supreme Saint.

Don't go there alive but not come back alive.

On Han Li's side.

After leaving the waters off Kuixing Island, they headed straight for the White Water Sword Sect in the northeast of the Inner Star Sea.

The familiar island, the familiar mountain gate—even after many years, his memory remained as vivid as ever.

Because he possessed an identity token and the ability to disguise himself, his infiltration was effortless and easy.

The White Water Sword Sect now appears to have two more Core Formation stage cultivators, him and Lu Changfeng, but it has lost a veteran Core Formation elder.

There are six people in the sect at the Core Formation stage, and three of them are from the master-disciple lineage.

The Lu family line has as many as five members.

The most crucial leader is the head of the Lu family.

Today, the White Water Sword Sect can be described as both a family and a sect.

If you want to know the specific reason why Ling Xiaofeng is looking for someone, it would be best to ask Sect Leader Lu or that cheap master.

After much thought, he approached Sect Leader Lu.

After knocking the person unconscious, they abducted them and left.

Before the White Water Sword Sect could react, they had already moved far away from the important mountain gate area.

He didn't search the soul; the person was still very polite to him.

He was also Master Lu's cousin.

He only used dream manipulation techniques to extract information.

After learning the reason, his mood became even more somber.

"It turns out that Xinggong didn't suddenly want to find me, but had been investigating my whereabouts for more than forty years."

However, nothing was gained.

"Ling Xiaofeng has been searching for me for over forty years?"

why?
It certainly wasn't to thank him for saving Ling Yuling's life.

After all, this public search for him, which also alarmed the Reverse Star Alliance, was practically pushing him into the eye of the storm.

"They think I'm not under the jurisdiction of the Star Palace, but under the jurisdiction of the Reverse Star Alliance, so they're planning to use the Reverse Star Alliance to force me out."

"Furthermore, he promised that anyone who finds me will enjoy abundant cultivation resources up to the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, they will receive a secret medicine made by the Star Palace to help condense the Nascent Soul?"

In the early days, Hoshimiya only secretly searched for his traces.

Now, it's out in the open.

"Why are you searching for me at such great cost? Could it be because..."

As he became increasingly certain of his guess, Han Li grinned.

"It seems that Palace Master Ling has found the correct way to activate the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light!"

"Good good..."

"It's gratifying, it's gratifying."
