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

Chapter 312 Unthreatened, Provoked

Wang Changsheng, Liu Mei, Mei Ning, Xin Ruyin, Xiao Mei, and others in the Core Formation stage continued their arduous cultivation here.

Meng Di and Wen Siyue, both at the pseudo-Dan stage, also stayed here.

The remaining Nascent Soul cultivators packed their belongings and prepared to return to the Xuan Tian Sect of Yue Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that during the more than twenty years that Meng Di has been here, with the help of the excellent spiritual environment of Seven Spirit Island and several high-grade spirit stones, he has already completed the second stage of the third stage of the Refined Yuan Realm. He has also mastered the first two levels of the Great Evolution Technique.

The third phase is currently underway.

It seems that it won't take more than ten years to complete the third stage and attempt to form the core.

Before leaving, Han Li met privately with the elder who was his eldest disciple:
"Chang Sheng, what stage have you reached in your cultivation of the Great Evolution Technique?"

"Thanks to the Soul-Nourishing Wood Bead that Master gave me. More than ten years ago, with the help of that bead, I completed the third level of cultivation. In recent years, with the assistance of the Soul-Nourishing Wood Bead, I have been focusing on the fourth level."

The old man bowed respectfully.

I am filled with gratitude for the person in front of me.

"Do you still remember how you embarked on the path to immortality?"

"I remember, my original name was Wang Gensheng. I embarked on the path of cultivation when I was nearly sixty years old, and changed my name to Wang Changsheng after that. However, due to my late entry into the path of immortality, my advanced age, and extremely low cultivation level, I possessed an excellent wind spiritual root, but even the Luoyun Sect was unwilling to accept me into their ranks immediately. Instead, they required me to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining before they could open the door to me. At that time, I thought that it would be difficult for me to even establish my foundation in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, by the grace of Heaven, I was fortunate enough to meet you, Master. With your guidance and the many Foundation Establishment Pills and cultivation materials you bestowed upon me, I not only established my foundation but also condensed my golden core."

The more the old man spoke, the more respectful he became.

Upon hearing this and seeing this, Han Li smiled:
"Your achievements today are inseparable from your own hard work."

"This disciple dares not take credit."

The old man bowed again.

Among cultivators, whose diligence is less than his? Everyone is racing against time to "cross the barrier".

There's only one reason he was able to stand out: the patronage of this benefactor. With the help of this mentor, even a pig could take off from its slump.

He still has this bit of self-awareness.

"A century of arduous cultivation, the Great Evolution Technique has reached its third level of perfection, and your cultivation has reached the late stage of Core Formation, yet you are not even two hundred years old. Changsheng, remember your original aspirations, and do not let these achievements blind you. The Core Formation stage should not be your end..."

"Thank you for your teachings, Master."

"It's not so much instruction as I wish. I simply... don't want to see that stubborn old man with such a steadfast heart eventually fade into obscurity. You've transformed yourself from a frail old man into the vibrant person you are today; you should know very well how difficult that journey was. I won't go into details..."

Han Li paused at this point.

One last thought:
"Chang Sheng, your master will be waiting for you in the Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing this, the old man's heart skipped a beat:
"Master, Master..."

"Go."

"Yes, Master."

The departing old man clenched his fists.

After the old man left, Han Li summoned Meng Di from behind a restricted screen.

Then, with a faint smile, he asked:
"Are you aware of what happened to your senior brother?"

“Master, I have inquired about it, and I was particularly shocked at the time.”

He began cultivating at the age of fifty-two, but only reached the fifth level of Qi Refining at fifty-nine. Before that, he had experienced all sorts of human suffering, including the premature deaths of his children and grandchildren and the passing of his loved ones. Normally, this senior brother's life would have been ruined. But our senior brother did not give up; instead, he continued his arduous cultivation as always.

Such a sincere heart was appreciated by the master before him.

Thus began the path to rise.

He was in his sixties when he began his foundational work.

During the Foundation Establishment process, he took ten Foundation Establishment Pills in a row to improve his physique and gradually expel all the impurities that had accumulated in his body over the years.

With the help of elixirs and a few high-grade spirit stones, he formed his core at over a hundred years old.

One hundred and thirty years old, mid-stage of Core Formation.

It is now in the late stage of Core Formation.

"If your senior brother can reach such a high level, you'd better not let him down."

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and will never let you down."

"And don't waste your own talent and ability."

Han Li added a sentence.

"Yes, disciple, keep this in mind."

The rest.

Han Li summoned Liu Mei and Mei Ning one by one.

When Liu Mei was summoned, she was given ample encouragement:

"Cultivate diligently and advance to the late stage of Core Formation as soon as possible. With your spiritual root talent, you can certainly try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

The Nine-Bend Spirit Pill is made primarily from the ginseng extract of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng. It takes more than ten years to refine one pill without damaging the foundation of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng or harming the little guy's vital energy.

Over the years, he has only accumulated two Nine-Bend Spirit Pills.

Of course, if one uses the Spirit Eye Spring, pure liquid, and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid to aid recovery, ginseng liquid can be collected every two or three years. But he couldn't afford to be so extravagant.

The key issue is that the remaining resources for assisting in the formation of the fetus are limited.

The Spirit Stabilizing Pill is not something you can simply obtain at will.

The millennia-old medicinal herbs needed to refine the Elixir of Immortality also require periodic cultivation. Only a dozen or twenty are produced every two hundred years.

In short, the earlier you arrive, the better.

Furthermore, if he goes to the Great Jin Dynasty, it's hard to say when he will return.

therefore.

It would be best for everyone to reach the late stage of Core Formation before he leaves the Great Jin Dynasty, and then obtain miraculous elixirs; otherwise, they can only wait for his return.

"Sect Master, I will not let you down, and I will not waste this rare opportunity to rapidly improve my cultivation."

Liu Mei, who was already in the mid-stage of Core Formation, bowed and said.

As for Mei Ning?

There's not much to explain.

This concubine's cultivation level had also reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.

However, the Fallen Demon Valley had not expected this woman to achieve Nascent Soul stage.

...

In the heart of southern China, there lies the Xuantian Sect of the Yue Kingdom.

Upon returning to the sect, Qi Yuan, who was in charge of handling sect affairs, handed Han Li a series of jade slips.

These jade slips containing messages were all requests for help.

Han Li took the jade slips, examined them one by one, and then handed them to Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi, among others. He then turned to Qi Yuan and asked, "Where are Junior Brother Tianjing, Junior Brother Yan Xuanhao, and Junior Brother Sun?"

It was only because three people were stationed at the Xuantian Sect that he was able to act as a hands-off manager with peace of mind.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Elder Sun recently acquired a superior Xuanji Stone and is currently using this top-tier material to forge a powerful magic weapon. Elder Tianjing and Elder Yan have led a team to the Northern Liang Kingdom of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance..."

In reality, he was leading a team to support the Linglong Mountain Hidden Moon Sect of the Northern Liang Kingdom.

The Nine Kingdoms Alliance consists of four medium-sized kingdoms: Yu, Tianya, Yanggu, and Fengyuan, and five small kingdoms: Pan, Xu, Shuo, Yun, and Beiliang.

The Mulan people were well-prepared and launched a fierce and swift attack. Meanwhile, Tiannan, lacking the support and early warning from the Nanlonghou squad that had followed their original trajectory, was severely unprepared. Within the first month or so, Fengyuan Kingdom and the largest of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, Yu Kingdom, fell.

In the following three months, both Shuo and Yun fell to the enemy.

Half of the Nine Nations Alliance's territory has already fallen.

The southern gateway to Tiannan will soon be wide open, leaving only the remaining five states surrounding Yu as the final line of defense.

The small state of Beiliang also became part of the front line.

"No wonder the gate is much quieter; it turns out some people have gone to the front lines."

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi frowned together.

"What about us? Are we also heading to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance?"

Everyone looked at Han Li.

After pondering for a moment, Han Li waved his hand:

"No rush. Let Tianjing and the others retreat first."

"what?"

Everyone was utterly puzzled upon hearing this.

"Rushing to offer help will only make some people think that in the face of disaster, we should be willing to sacrifice everything for Tiannan for the sake of our current situation. But in reality, the world is vast, where can't we go?"

Han Li said calmly.

"If the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's last line of defense falls completely, and the gateway to the heart of Tiannan is fully opened, how will the Mulan people treat us?"

Gan Rushuang was somewhat worried.

"The Mulan people wouldn't be so brainless as to target us! Through their spies, they should know about our conflicts with both the righteous and demonic paths, and even that we are not native cultivators of Tiannan. Under these circumstances, they would be too busy trying to befriend us to risk offending us."

Han Li spoke calmly for a few moments.

His message to the outside world was: if most of Tiannan were occupied by the Mulan people, the Xuantian Sect's higher-ups would not care.

In short, he will not take the initiative to provide assistance.

Someone has to come and beg.

"The sect leader is right. If you are too eager to join the war, you will not receive the respect you deserve."

Qing Yi stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming.

Immediately, he tossed out a jade slip.

He was very dissatisfied with the explanation given in the jade slip.

Some people actually threatened them with the righteous argument that the Nine Kingdoms Alliance had been completely overthrown and that the Yue Kingdom could not survive.

Haha, ridiculous.

At worst, the entire Xuantian Sect can retreat to the remote far west, and the higher-ups can simply retreat to Seven Spirits Island. At that point, what can the major forces of both the righteous and demonic paths, along with the Mulan people, do to chase them down to the far west and Seven Spirits Island?
Threat?

What Qingyi hated most was this kind of powerless threat.

just.

Neither Han Li nor Qing Yi expected that the Mulan people, whether they had taken the wrong medicine or were blinded by their successive victories, would not take them seriously and, more than a month later, would send a letter of surrender through a spy planted in Tiannan.

The content is also very simple.

The gist is that Mulan is currently making rapid progress and has a clear advantage. Occupying half of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's territory is just the beginning; they will subsequently take half of the southern lands. And the Yue Kingdom is among their targets.

"What do the Mulan people mean? Are they threatening us?"

The bearded man held the jade slip containing the message, his eyes cold.

The jade slip containing the message explicitly advised the members of the Xuantian Sect not to get involved in the upcoming war.

Alternatively, they could proactively withdraw from Yue to avoid the advance of the Mulan army.

Alternatively, they could surrender to the Muran people.

Otherwise, wherever the army's advance points, nothing can withstand it.

"Tsk, what a boast of being invincible wherever your military might points! How much do you look down on us?"

After examining the jade slip, the three women were all furious.

"Don't be impatient."

Han Li reassured him gently.

A different kind of color flashed in his eyes.

At this time, three old monsters from the Giant Sword Sect, the Blade Transformation Dock, and the Pure Void Sect came to visit with several disciples.

"Greetings to the three fellow Taoists."

"Greetings, Sect Leader Han and fellow Daoists."

Not only that, but Tianhen from the Zijin Kingdom also came to visit at this time with two Nascent Soul cultivators, as if all parties had planned it together.

"Greetings, everyone..."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Tianhen..."

In an instant, the small Xuan Tian Sect mountain gate was filled with Han Li, Man Hu Zi, Qing Yi, Yuan Yao, Yan Li, Gan Ru Shuang, the three elders of the Giant Sword Sect, Hua Dao Wu, and Qing Xu Sect, as well as Tian Hen and his group of three from the Zi Jin Kingdom. Finally, there was Old Man Sun, who was in seclusion refining a magic weapon, making a total of thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators.

Among them, six are in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and seven are in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

A truly luxurious lineup.

After everyone was seated.

Tianhen cut straight to the point and asked:
"Sect Leader Han, what are your thoughts on the Mulan invasion? Will any of you participate in the upcoming war?"

Han Li didn't say much, but handed the jade slip that the Mulan spy had sent to Tian Hen and the others to examine.

With just one glance, Tianhen reached an unexpected conclusion:

"This is probably not the work of the Mulan people; it's more likely a provocation between the righteous and the demonic factions."
