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

Chapter 289 Going Home
Gan Rushuang arrived not long ago, along with Nascent Soul cultivators from Nascent Soul level forces such as the Giant Sword Sect, the Pure Void Sect, and the Blade Transformation Valley.

However, it was too far from Han Li's side, about two hundred miles away.

The Emperor's Dew will only appear for a few breaths.

Even if Gan Rushuang flew away at all her might, she couldn't catch up with the baptism of this wave of imperial dew.

Yan Xuanhao, Master Hongfu, Cheng Tiankun, Lü Luo, and others were the same.

It's not that he didn't want to bring the others along.

Rather, those few people simply missed out on this wave of benefits.

Next time, next time, next time for sure.

"Perhaps this could be listed as one of the benefits for the Xuantian Sect in the future?"

...

"Husband, what's going on? Wasn't the Icefire Wolf dead?"

Why did it come back to life?
Yuan Yao was completely baffled by this.

"What was obliterated by the tribulation lightning was not the Icefire Wolf's primordial spirit, but Fellow Daoist Xiao Cha's divided soul."

Han Li took out a Soul Control Banner from the Void Heaven Cauldron.

The operating principle is actually very simple.

That is: the Icefire Wolf first abandons its physical body, and its primordial spirit leaves its body.

Inside the Void Cauldron, the primordial spirit can leave the body unharmed. One can stay inside for three to five days, or even for several years. This is because one of the cauldron's major functions is to nurture the primordial spirit, a point on which Silver Moon is highly qualified to speak.

Once the Icefire Wolf's primordial spirit has abandoned its physical body, Xiao Cha's ghost cultivator's divided soul will then possess and control the Icefire Wolf's demonic body.

In other words, the previous five days were not only the time for the wolf's body to recover from its injuries, but also the time for Xiao Cha's divided soul to skillfully control this body.

Xiao Cha, as a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, possessed sufficient cultivation level, and the strength of his split soul was significantly greater than that of the Icefire Wolf's primordial spirit. Furthermore, he had previously nurtured the Demon Crown Serpent and later analyzed the physical structure of an eighth-level Thunder Whale Beast. Five days was more than enough time for him to possess and control the Demon Wolf's body.

After possessing, one will be able to unleash even greater resilience.

"So, the one who just died was Brother Xiao's split soul?"

Barbarian blinked, looking puzzled.

"Ghost cultivators can split into multiple soul fragments and possess bodies infinitely. Moreover, any soul fragment destroyed can be regenerated through cultivation. Given this, we should naturally make good use of it."

Han Li smiled.

This was actually a backup plan he had prepared for the little black dragon back then.

It's just that Xiao Mo didn't need it.

That said, even Xiao Cha's Nascent Soul level primordial spirit couldn't withstand the damage from the ninth wave of tribulation lightning, which shows just how fierce this tribulation lightning was.

Moreover, he always felt that the power of the heavenly tribulation had been amplified.

The ninth wave of tribulation lightning from the black dragon did not reach such a brutal intensity.

Fortunately, before Xiao Cha's divided soul was obliterated, he preserved the last vestige of life in the Icefire Wolf's physical body using the Ghost Dao Secret Technique and precious items such as pure liquid and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid.

It was thanks to this glimmer of hope that the Icefire Wolf's main soul, after returning to its body, quickly rekindled its life force.

"You can do that? Does this count as a substitution?"

Qingyi's eyes widened.

He paused in stroking his beard, and then, without thinking, tugged at it, pulling out a few of the whiskers he had always treasured.

"Why can't we substitute for the tribulation? Even if that's not possible, we can still cut off the tribulation lightning and let the Ice-Fire Wolf's primordial spirit return to its original body inside the Void Heaven Cauldron, right?"

Han Li shrugged.

There are operations that cannot be performed by substitution.

It would be best if it could replace the calamity.

It's just an attempt anyway.

It was at this moment that the Soul Banner began to stir.

A surge of gray, sinister energy appeared, and Xiao Cha's figure materialized:

"Based on this test, I am quite certain that the transformation of demonic beasts into human form can be used to replace tribulations. Although the tribulation lightning of a demonic beast's transformation also targets the primordial spirit, it primarily targets the physical body. Otherwise, how could the demonic beast's essence remain in beast form?"

"However, in the future, such good things can be entrusted to Ji Yin or Ximen. Their abilities are no less than mine."

Xuan Gu Shangren Xiao Cha's soul was much weaker at this moment.

It was clearly a significant sacrifice.

After that, decades of recuperation and conditioning are inevitable.

"You deserve credit for this."

Han Li reassured him.

He then looked at the rapidly fading moonlight and starlight around him:

"Alright, everyone, absorb the Emperor's Essence first. This stuff will dissipate completely soon."

The group heeded the advice and naturally wouldn't miss this great opportunity.

When all the halos disappeared, another child appeared in the center of the four. He was a little boy who looked about six years old.

The little boy had long silver hair, a crescent moon between his eyebrows, blue eyes, and two demonic markings on each cheek, one ice-blue and one red. He wore a wolf-fur shawl with three tails extending from the end, which swayed and flicked in the wind as he walked.

Unlike Xiao Mo's fair skin, the little boy's skin had a more rosy complexion.

This is the human form of the Icefire Wolf.

"Huh? Icefire Wolf, why do you only have one head when you transform into human form?"

Han Li touched his small head with silver hair and asked in surprise.

In wolf form, the Icefire Wolf actually has two heads.

How come after taking human form, all that's left is a head?

“Master, I originally only had one consciousness. When I advanced to the second level, my body experienced a rejection reaction, causing it to split into two consciousnesses. These two consciousnesses respectively govern the ice and fire within my body. After this tribulation, the two split consciousnesses merged again, resulting in their current state…”

After being baptized by the Emperor's Dew, the Icefire Wolf not only became stronger and gained the ability to transform into human form, but also gained a great deal of intelligence, becoming comparable to that of an ordinary person.

At this moment, she pounced on Han Li, grabbed his arm, and began to explain in a crisp voice.

The blue eyes were exceptionally beautiful when they blinked.

Yuan Yao, who was standing to the side, couldn't resist and picked up the little guy, stroking his fluffy wolf fur a few times.

"That's my tail, don't touch it, it tickles."

The little guy resisted fiercely.

"I thought these were your clothes..."

Yuan Yao exclaimed in surprise.

They got even more excited.

After a bit of playful fighting, the little boy jumped onto Han Li's left shoulder, then plopped down on his bottom, panting heavily. Once settled, the three white tails at the end of his wolf-fur coat kept swaying.

Following Xiao Mo, another pet has taken human form and occupied a special seat.

...

"Alright, everyone, how do you feel after absorbing and refining the Emperor's Essence?"

Han Li asked the people who had previously contributed their efforts.

"Very good, my physical strength has increased again. Although the increase is not much, it is already commendable that I can still improve at my current level."

Barbarian Beard clenched his fist and then grinned.

He was both surprised and delighted by this achievement.

"I feel much younger."

While feeling sorry for his beard, Qingyi said with renewed vigor.

Because he formed his Core and Nascent Soul later than other cultivators of the same level, his body was actually quite old. However, after receiving the baptism of the Emperor's Essence, he seemed to be infused with a unique vitality. Although it did not increase his lifespan, his vital energy was indeed enhanced, like a withered tree blossoming in spring.

Yuan Yao feels that her body is stronger and more resilient.

"The reason why there is not much change is because we have absorbed too little of the Emperor's Essence."

"but…"

"If enough demonic beasts and spirit beasts survive the tribulation of transformation, the quantitative change will eventually lead to a qualitative change."

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Yuan Yao remained unchanged, but Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi's eyes lit up simultaneously.

They were well aware of the benefits of this.

Barbarian Beard immediately glanced at his spirit beast pouch.

Qingyi also had the idea of ​​taming and raising spirit beasts.

After all, you can't always rely on Han Li for help.

"Sect Master, do you mean to help the Spirit Control Sect?"

"Adding a few more demon cultivators to their ranks isn't a big deal, as long as they can satisfy some of our appetites..."

It's such a waste to use the Five Elements Spiritual Infants to cultivate five Nascent Soul stage cannon fodder characters with only five hundred years of lifespan.

Using the second Nascent Soul secret technique, he was assimilated, Yuan Yao was assimilated, Gan Rushuang was assimilated, Man Hu Zi was assimilated, and Qing Yi was assimilated.

Once they reach the level of "five people and ten Nascent Souls", their small group can truly roam freely in the south.

The three great cultivators didn't back down at all, even when facing each other.

Furthermore, the lifespans of both Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi will be indirectly resolved due to the appearance of the second Nascent Soul.

The lifespan of the second nascent soul is very different from that of the original nascent soul; the two exist independently.

Moreover, the lifespan of the Wood Spirit Infant is far more than a thousand years!

At least two thousand years!
If Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi fail to find the longevity elixir in the Fallen Demon Valley, and fail to break through their cultivation to extend their lives in time, they will have no choice but to use the Second Nascent Soul Technique to change their way of life. Although their memories remain unchanged, many aspects have changed.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he still hoped that Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi would not come to that point.

all in all.

He was determined to obtain the Five Elements Spiritual Infant.

"By the way, Yuan Yao, what brings you here? Weren't you keeping an eye on the Fiery Old Monster and the others at the Hundred Crafts Courtyard?"

"My husband, how can you leave me out when you're on a mission?"

"Ah."

Han Li nodded, very pleased.

After withdrawing his gaze, he glanced at the direction of Yunmeng Mountain to the north of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

At this moment, how could he not notice that no one from Baiqiaoyuan had come?

He understands Hyakko-in's situation.

It's highly likely they don't want to get involved in the conflict with the demonic path.

After all, they had just tricked the Demonic Path earlier.

If they start causing trouble again, they will surely be hated by the major sects of the demonic path.

Also.

They might have other ulterior motives.

For example, if their group were to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the Old Demon Hehuan, all perishing in the Eastern Yu Kingdom or the Heavenly Luo Kingdom, then the two unfinished Nascent Soul level puppets currently being crafted would naturally belong to the Hundred Crafts Academy.

The principle is simple, and the approach is straightforward, isn't it?
...

After that, Han Li made an appointment with the three members of the Yu Ling Sect, agreeing to meet a year later near Taiyue Mountain, on the border between Yuanwu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom.

The details of the transaction between the two parties can be discussed later.

He had nothing to say about the other sects of the demonic path.

This time, he inflicted a heavy loss on the demonic sects, but he couldn't completely eradicate the five major demonic sects. There was still a significant gap in strength between the two sides. If the Joyful Union Sect and other sects were truly pushed to the brink, the five major sects would resort to desperate measures, and he wouldn't be able to develop peacefully.

therefore.

From now on, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities.

As for the teleportation array?
If the demonic path knows, then so be it.

What else can we do to him?

Everyone is tacit.

He had no obligation and no inclination to explain anything to anyone.

Anyone who wants to know about the teleportation array...

Yes.

Let's beat him first.

...

There wasn't much to say about the righteous path either; they just exchanged a few pleasantries.

At the Heavenly Alliance, Han Li solemnly thanked the three members of the Luoyun Sect and the Long Han and Feng Bing couple from the Luanming Sect, thanked the middle-aged man surnamed You and the elderly man surnamed Chen with red nose, and thanked the others who had traveled thousands of miles and risked their lives to go deep into the Tianluo Kingdom to help him.

Such as Hundred Flowers Valley, Rainbow Cloud Mountain, Qi Family, Chaoyang Sect, Ancient Sword Sect, and other forces...

Although the Ancient Sword Sect arrived later than the previous three sects, they still managed to come.

He would visit each of the members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance later to express his gratitude.

...

Then came the Nine Nations Alliance.

"Gentlemen, would you be willing to travel to Dongyu Kingdom for a discussion?"

"good."

Throughout the journey, Han Li continuously transmitted his voice.

First, greet each of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who arrive later.

When they greeted Gan Rushuang, they smiled at each other.

When greeting the three old monsters from the Giant Sword Sect, the Pure Void Sect, and the Blade Transformation Valley, he was very polite.

These three sects are all ones that Gan Rushuang has been trying to win over over the years. This time, they were invited by Gan Rushuang to come to Tianluo Kingdom to join in the fun.

It should be known that entering Tianluo Kingdom is a very dangerous undertaking, yet the Nascent Soul stage monsters from the three families still came.

The old monsters of the three families, knowing Han Li's achievements and witnessing his lineup firsthand, especially after learning that Han Li had demanded the entire Yue Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom, all had their own ambitions.

"Do the three of you intend to move the mountain gate back to the Yue Kingdom?"

"Of course! Fellow Daoist Han, is that alright?"

The three of them looked on with hope.

Han Li was naturally pleased with this.

The three families are now facing a generational gap, and none of them have more than a hundred years left to live.

The old monster of the Giant Sword Sect, due to a severe injury, has less lifespan than Patriarch Linghu, with only thirty or forty years left. Even more critically, the disastrous defeat at Golden Drum Plains during the demonic invasion severely weakened the Giant Sword Sect from its very core. In the following decades, the sect lost many outstanding disciples and several Core Formation cultivators in the grassland battlefield. Only in recent years, after things have gradually stabilized, has it managed to cultivate two new Core Formation disciples.

Once this person's time comes, the Giant Sword Sect will exist in name only.

The situation of Qingxu Sect is exactly the same as that of Huadaowu.

All because too many talented young talents perished on the battlefield of Jingu Plain, and because the grassland wars took away many of the core members of the sects, now the three sects, let alone newly promoted Nascent Soul stage cultivators, even have only one Nascent Soul seedling in the late Core Formation stage combined.

therefore.

He certainly didn't mind that the three factions moved back.

The fact that these three families moved back to the Yue Kingdom would not only not become obstacles to his establishment of power, but would also leave him with three considerable fortunes.

Once they fall into Yue's trap, everything will eventually belong to them.

but.

There are some things that need to be explained.

And he didn't need to rush to invite him.

These three companies are the ones who should be worried.

then.

Han Li bargained with the three old men for quite a while.

The final result was that although the three families could move back to their former mountain gates, the resources they could share were far less than when the seven factions of Yue Kingdom were at that time. The resources that the three families could obtain together were only equivalent to the resources of any two of the seven factions back then.

In addition, these three individuals must each offer ancient treasures and other valuables as "bargains for returning home."

Even so, the three were still incredibly grateful:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han."

"Han Daoyou is benevolent and righteous."

The three of them felt a warmth as if spring had arrived and flowers were in bloom.

Go home.

I can finally go home.

No more being stuck in that wretched place, Beiliang Kingdom, barely surviving.

If one is to die, one should return to one's roots.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Could it be that they couldn't guess Han Li's idea of ​​"eating the spoils of the childless"?
The three old foxes were certainly fully aware of the situation.

But so what?
If they come back, there is still a glimmer of hope for a miraculous recovery.

Staying in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance means certain death.

War is coming again.

The century-long period of recuperation for the Mulan people of the grasslands is coming to an end.

...

"Fellow Daoist Han..."

At this moment, Elder Linghu also came over.

When he learned from his three old friends that the three factions could return to the Yue Kingdom, he was envious and tempted.

If Huangfeng Valley can return to Taiyue Mountain in the Yue Kingdom and establish itself, it is not impossible for it to sprout new buds.

Lei Wanhe's chances are probably gone; too much time and effort have been wasted. But Li Huayuan, who is only 360 years old, still has a slight chance.

Back then, Li Huayuan used two invisible needle talismans from Old Monster Qiong to kill four other Core Formation stage cultivators of the same level, accumulating considerable wealth. He was quite wealthy. His cultivation level also increased to the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm through spending spirit stones and consuming pills.

If one can reach the late stage of Core Formation before the age of four hundred, there is still some hope of reaching Nascent Soul.

For Yellow Maple Valley.

He will work hard to cultivate Li Huayuan.

The prerequisite is that Huangfeng Valley can move back to Yue Kingdom and obtain a relatively stable cultivation environment.

Therefore, he sought help from Han Li.

"Fellow Daoist Han, congratulations..."

　Should we take in Huangfenggu?
