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

Chapter 287 What am I doing here?

Realizing this, Han Li quickly made adjustments.

The Icefire Wolf will inevitably face the eighth wave of lightning tribulation, and may even suffer the baptism of the ninth wave of tribulation lightning.

Therefore, one must never attempt to undergo tribulation while injured.

He must first recover from his previous injuries and get himself in good condition before facing the subsequent tribulation.

"Elder, Second Elder, Yuan Yao, protect me."

As he spoke, he flew to the top of the Icefire Wolf, which was healing and recovering, and summoned dozens of lightning-absorbing beads and took out several more Thunder Whale Cannons.

He needs to buy enough time for the Ice and Fire Wolves.

The next moment, the Soul Refining Gourd appeared, spreading out a circle of Soul Refining Ghostly Wind.

The thirty-six Golden Magnetic Bee Cloud Swords and the Void Heaven Cauldron reappeared, and the Ice Fire Wolf was directly absorbed into the Void Heaven Cauldron.

At the same time, he restarted the arrangement of the Great Geng Sword Formation.

Even now, no normal person would dare to offend him and cause such a public outcry.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Once the sword formation was complete, he turned to look at the dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators who had come to witness it:

"Everyone, please retreat at least two hundred miles from this place immediately. Otherwise, I'm not sure if the upcoming tribulation lightning will accidentally injure you all..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, and then their expressions turned strange.

Everyone wasn't stupid; they noticed the situation with the Icefire Wolf and then understood Han Li's intention in doing so.

This is to prevent anyone from playing dirty tricks.

"Interesting, this Fellow Daoist Han is quite cautious."

Someone clicked their tongue in disapproval.

"He probably wanted to use those purple stones to buy time for his spirit beast to recover. At this time, he naturally couldn't afford to be disturbed, otherwise all his efforts might be in vain."

Others have offered speculation and explanations.

"Speaking of which, how does he ensure his magical power remains abundant by consistently using such methods?"

then.

Some clever people quickly guessed that he might have ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid, but they didn't know exactly how much he possessed.

The crowd quickly split into five major camps.

The Heavenly Alliance, allied with Tianhen Old Monster and his group, along with Jin Wuhuan, Huolong Tongzi, and others who arrived later, comprised over thirty Nascent Soul stage cultivators. The righteous path, with over ten members led by Zhiyang Shangren, declared neutrality. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance, with eight members arriving successively, led by Wei Wuyai, remained completely neutral. The demonic path, with over forty members led by the weakened Hehuan Old Demon, was currently exchanging subtle messages, their behavior ambiguous.

In the end, Han Li and the other three gathered at a table.

...

Seeing that the four sides on the periphery were mutually restraining each other, and no one seemed to intend to cross the two-hundred-mile boundary, Han Li felt deeply regretful.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

His original intention was to set a trap and catch some fools off guard.

But until the eighth lightning bolt struck, no one made a move, nor did anyone cross the line, which greatly disappointed him.

"Sure enough, the same trick can hardly fool someone twice."

therefore.

He could only put aside his ulterior motives and focus on dealing with the upcoming tribulation of transformation.

Compared to the previous round, this round of lightning tribulation is undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with, with a significant increase in intensity.

The relentless lightning strikes forced him to simultaneously absorb the heavenly lightning with the Lightning Absorbing Pearl and use the Thunder Whale Cannon to channel the lightning power within the Pearl, releasing all the lightning. The target was no longer the ground, but the empty space high in the sky.

A single Thunder Whale Cannon shot traveled horizontally for hundreds of miles.

This scene opened the eyes of the many cultivators on the periphery who were observing the lightning tribulation with their vague Nascent Soul level divine senses.

...

"Good means."

"Doesn't that mean that any lightning strike technique is ineffective against Fellow Daoist Han?"

"Not only will it be ineffective, but it may also be used against us."

"That kind of stone is practically Lei Xiu's nemesis..."

On the righteous side, there was much discussion.

"Brother Zhiyang, this Han fellow is truly remarkable. Are we really going to let him associate with Tianhen Old Monster and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhiyang's face flashed with displeasure, yet he still responded with a single word:
"This person has unknowingly gained considerable power. Why should we antagonize him? Let the demonic cultivators keep him in check. Besides, I've already received some inside information from Wei Wuyai. Although he's from Tiannan, his lineage comes from the Great Jin Dynasty, from a place called Xiling Mountain. If we force our way in and offend the younger generation, the older generation might just jump out."

"It's already this troublesome to deal with this kid. If we alert that late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Xiling Mountain, the trouble will be even greater."

They should just be good local tyrants.

The fact that the Old Demon of Hehuan was injured and the demonic path was weakened is already excellent news for the righteous path.

"understood."

...

On the side of the Heavenly Alliance.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, why are you and Fellow Daoist Jin so late? You're more than ten days behind Fellow Daoists Cheng Tiankun, Lü Luo, and Hong Fu..."

The Fire Dragon Child, who was being questioned by Long Han, seemed not to have heard the question and did not respond at all.

Jin Wu Huanmian, however, remained unfazed and began to speak:
"My junior brother Lan and I were delayed on the way due to some things."

"delay?"

Long Han was stunned for a moment.

The three sects of Yunmeng are right next to each other, so their departure times should not differ too much. What could have caused such a long delay?
And then there's the Hundred Crafts Courtyard, no one has come yet, which is even stranger.

Not right.

However, upon further reflection, he understood the awkward situation among the three sects of Yunmeng, and therefore did not ask any further questions.

If he asked any further, he felt that Jin Wuhuan, the hot-tempered and thin-skinned Fire Dragon Boy, was about to roll his eyes at him.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Han was a disciple of Yellow Maple Valley back then, just like Fellow Daoist Hong Fu, wasn't he?"

Long Han changed the subject and looked at the three people from Luoyun Sect.

They were mainly looking at Hong Fu.

"Indeed."

Hong Fu nodded.

"Yellow Maple Valley truly produces many talented individuals. First there was Fellow Daoist Hong Fu, then Fellow Daoist Yan, and then Fellow Daoist Han..."

Someone praised.

Yan Xuanhao of the Yan family was also from Huangfeng Valley for a period of time.

This is easy to investigate.

"Unfortunately, it seems Fellow Daoist Linghu cannot retain talented people."

Some people glanced at Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo, then at the direction of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and managed to suppress their laughter.

After exchanging a silent glance, Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo both looked toward the Nine Kingdoms Alliance camp, where a hunched old monster stood with a very gloomy expression.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Fu, it is said that Fellow Daoist Han only has the aptitude of a pseudo-spiritual root. Is this news true or false?"

Within the Heavenly Alliance, some people were extremely curious about this.

"Do you think a pseudo-spiritual root can form a core?"

Hong Fu didn't answer but instead asked a question.

"So difficult, so difficult, so difficult..."

No one with a pseudo-spiritual root can pass the test of mana purity. Even if their cultivation reaches the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, they are still far from meeting the standard for Core Formation. Continuing to take drugs is futile.

"If that's the case, why do you think Han Li has a pseudo-spiritual root?"

Hong Fu gave this person a deep look.

"Then what is Fellow Daoist Han's spiritual root...?"

"do not know."

With a flick of her sleeve, Hong Fu...

Then came an explanation that was both surprising and seemingly reasonable:
"Actually, Han Li was already a Nascent Soul cultivator back then. He was severely injured and lost his cultivation, forced to disperse his Nascent Soul and choose to start over. I don't know why he became Dong's disciple. I was blind at the time and failed to see his situation, truly believing he was just a small-time rogue cultivator with four pseudo-spiritual roots..."

As he said this, he gave a perfectly timed wry smile.

"Is that so?"

"I see…"

"I knew it! A pseudo-spiritual root can't even form a core, let alone a nascent soul."

"Rumors are indeed unreliable."

A potential crisis was quietly resolved.

This explanation was undoubtedly given to Master Hongfu by Han Li.

It is precisely because the rise of pseudo-spiritual roots is too outrageous that a more reasonable explanation is needed.

While this method of dispersing the nascent soul and rebuilding is equally absurd, it is not without its feasibility.

It caused far less of a stir than the pseudo-spiritual root Nascent Soul formation.

If the pseudo-spiritual root formation into a nascent soul were to become a reality, even those at the Nascent Soul stage would want to slice Han Li into pieces.

"Sister Hongfu, Fellow Daoist Han shouldn't be over four hundred years old, right?"

A female cultivator transmitted her question telepathically.

Hong Fu turned her head and saw a female cultivator with an exceptionally beautiful appearance and a faint halo around her face.

This woman is the Hundred Flower Fairy of Hundred Flower Valley, who came with Old Monster Qi, who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. She is young but exceptionally talented. She condensed her Nascent Soul at just over three hundred years old, and now, at over four hundred but not quite five hundred, she has already reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

He has been single for hundreds of years.

He has never had a Daoist partner.

It's unclear why this woman asked her this, but it's always best to be cautious.
"Sister Baihua, Han Li should be around 410 or 420 years old now. What, are you interested in him?"

When Hong Fu publicly teased her, the Hundred Flower Fairy not only showed no embarrassment, but also readily nodded in agreement:
"Fellow Daoist Han is indeed exceptionally talented. I truly intend to become his cultivation partner. I wonder if Sister Hongfu would be willing..."

"I don't want to!"

Hong Fu snorted coldly.

In their anger, they forgot to use voice transmission.

The Flower Fairy was stunned, and asked in confusion:
"Sister, why?"

It's clearly a powerful alliance, so why not go for it?
"Hmph, no reason why. Also, don't call me 'sister' anymore..."

Her grand-nephew-in-law, that wild woman outside, go away.

Everyone: "..."

This Fairy Hong Fu seems to have overreacted.

Even the old demon Yunlu, who was not far away, seemed to sense something and cast his gaze in this direction.

...

As for the demonic path?

The three members of the Yuling Sect inquired about the losses of important personnel from the five major demonic sects in a concerned tone.

The five major sects sensed a faint schadenfreude in the so-called concern and then inquired about the Yuling Sect's attitude towards Han Li.

In the entire demonic path, no one trusts anyone else now.

In short.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives.

However, the Old Demon of Hehuan lowered his eyes and seemed thoughtful after hearing some of Hong Fu's words:
"Could it be that the man surnamed Han is after the secrets of the Crimson Forbidden Land?"

It was extremely dangerous there; he went three times, returning wounded each time…

"So, did he bring any secrets out of the forbidden area?"

...

Finally, there are the eight members of the Nine Nations Alliance.

Besides Wei Wuyai of the Huayi Sect, there was also Ye Laoguai of the Beiye Sect, and several other Nascent Soul cultivators including Linghu Laoguai and Tianjing Zhenren.

Wei Wuyai and the others naturally overheard the conversation among the people of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

We were not far apart.

So, they all turned to look at Elder Linghu.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly skilled."

Old Monster Ye of the Beiye Sect smacked his lips, still wanting more.

"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Ye?"

Linghu Laozu took a deep breath and laughed.

"I've heard that you've trained three disciples from your own clan over the past few hundred years?"

Upon hearing this, even someone as composed as Elder Linghu couldn't hold back his composure.

Without him.

Over the centuries, he personally cultivated more than twenty members of the Linghu family, not just three. Unfortunately, only three ultimately achieved the Core Formation stage. One of them reached the Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage several decades ago, while he wholeheartedly supported his clansman in achieving Nascent Soul. In the end, his desperate attempt to achieve Nascent Soul failed, and he was severely weakened, passing away more than a decade ago.

The two who came after him received nearly two hundred years of his cultivation; one was in the early stage of Core Formation, and the other was in the middle stage.

Let alone the prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul stage being far off, even the possibility of reaching the late Core Formation stage is uncertain.

Even more upsetting things.

originally.

Give Lei Wanhe more care; Lei Wanhe actually has a considerable chance of achieving Nascent Soul.

After all, he was a 300-year-old late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

They have had over two hundred years to hone themselves, strengthen their spiritual senses, and enhance their inner strength.

However, after joining the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, he made another terrible mistake: entrusting Lei Wanhe with the position of sect leader and sending him to the front lines of the grasslands to lead the Yellow Maple Valley forces in their struggle against the Mulan people for decades. With so many years of neglect, there was simply no time for cultivation, and unsurprisingly, Lei Wanhe's potential greatly diminished. His original 20% chance of success has now dwindled to less than 10%.

By the time he finally realized that his clansmen were hopeless and that he had been too biased, it was already too late.

Lei Wanhe was ruined by him.

But that's not all that happened.

Another embarrassing thing is that over the course of several hundred years, he cultivated more than twenty clansmen with good aptitude, but only three of them successfully formed their core.

Lei Wanhe, although he only recruited three disciples with dual spiritual roots and different spiritual roots, trained them all to become Core Formation cultivators.

Then there's Hong Fu, whose six disciples all achieved the Core Formation stage.

Well, he admits that his ability to cultivate talent is not as good as Hong Fu's.

But he actually lost to Lei Wanhe. How could he bear this?

Compared to these two, he is simply a negative example.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it.

In short.

Whenever he heard outsiders say that he had spent a lot of money to raise three good-for-nothing members of his clan, his old face would burn with shame, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Then he thought about how he was the first to abandon the Hong Fu lineage, and how Hong Fu not only didn't fall into trouble after leaving him, but actually flew better and went more smoothly, which made him feel suffocated.

He remembered that decades ago, when he learned that Hong Fu had achieved Nascent Soul in Yunmeng Mountain, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was originally a promising talent from our own farm.

He is the successor of Huangfeng Valley.

Later, upon learning that Yan Xuanhao of the Yan family, who had switched allegiance to the Hidden Moon Sect, had successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he could no longer hold back and actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was originally meant to be his successor in Huangfeng Valley.

It was destined to protect Yellow Maple Valley for hundreds of years to come.

Just because of a moment of anger that day, and for the sake of saving face, Hong Fu's heart was chilled.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Linghu family, the Yan family members were sent to the front line in large numbers to fill the gaps, and the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills was also reduced, which chilled the hearts of the Yan family and forced the hidden lineage of the Yan family to leave.

Two promising companies were lost just like that.

"Ugh…!"

At last.

He would occasionally glance at the area shrouded in lightning and thunder, and whenever he saw that dashing and radiant figure, he would be filled with complex emotions.

Every time he turned his head and saw the solemnity and fear in the eyes of the three great cultivators, he felt even more annoyed! He was filled with regret! He was so regretful that he felt like his guts were turning green.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu, what's wrong?"

Someone smiled and said with "concern".

"nothing."

Linghu Laozu responded with a smile.

Instead, a bitter taste filled my mouth:

What am I doing here?

His original intention was to come and lend a hand and ease tensions.

In retrospect, it was completely unnecessary.
