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

Chapter 158 Bastard, where is he?
The two women paid their respects to Yunlu and told her that they were going to visit an old friend at the former residence of Yuanwu Kingdom.

Upon hearing that it was the Yuanwu Kingdom, Yunlu's brows immediately furrowed slightly.

However, it quickly relaxed again.

And he agreed to it.

He casually reminded me to be careful on the road.

"Master, this disciple takes his leave."

"Master, this disciple takes his leave."

The two women, one poised and composed, with a calm and unhurried demeanor.

The other one was somewhat afraid when facing Yunlu.

The one who feared Yunlu was not Xin Ruyin, but rather the more favored Dong Xuan'er.

"Senior sister, Master treats you very well, but why do I always feel fear and dread whenever I see him?"

During their flight, Xin Ruyin finally couldn't hold back and asked the question that had puzzled her for so long.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er subconsciously bit her lip.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"Shouldn't we be afraid of someone who can control every aspect of our lives?"

The reason she chooses to meditate in the Taiyue Mountains is not only to reminisce about the past two or three decades, but also to make it easier to avoid this person.

Living under the watchful eye of an ancestor who cared about and paid attention to her in everything was an incredibly oppressive experience.

And this person would kill someone on a whim at the slightest provocation.

I remember that more than eighty years ago, Ancestor Yunlu had four disciples at the Core Formation stage.

But one time, she secretly went out and encountered danger. Fortunately, her senior sister and three senior brothers appeared in time to save her.

Otherwise, she would have been in danger that time.

But this ancestor Yunlu, without asking any questions or trying to understand the details of the matter, directly judged that the senior sisters and brothers had not taken good care of her, and then severely punished the four senior sisters and brothers to varying degrees.

She later heard that three of her four senior brothers and sisters had their souls searched by their ancestor.

Such domineering behavior is one thing if it's used on outsiders, but to use it on one's own apprentice...

This truly terrified her!
She didn't dare to go up and ask why, nor did she have the courage to question it; she could only cower in the corner, trembling with fear.

Even though she searched her soul three times, and only once did she gain something—the truth being that her ordeal was meticulously planned by her senior brother. His aim was to be a hero in her life-or-death situation, to win her favor, and to gain the upper hand. Even after learning the truth, her affection for her ancestor didn't increase much; instead, she felt a deep-seated fear and a sense of alienation.

If there is even the slightest doubt, they will immediately search the soul to understand the true thoughts in one's heart.
The Nascent Soul stage monsters of the demonic path are truly terrifying.

Not long after that incident, the surviving senior sister gradually distanced herself from her. Many cultivators in the sect who had been close to her also distanced themselves from her, keeping a safe distance from her.

This feeling of isolation made her appreciate even more deeply the weight of the love shown by the Yunlu Ancestor.

I sensed the morbidity within it.

What she resented most was this ancestor's extremely strong desire to control her.

For example, her cultivation method must be the one fixed by the Hehuan Sect, and all the Taoist methods she had practiced before have been abolished.

In other words, she was essentially starting over after her cultivation had been completely discontinued.

For example, every three or six months, she must undergo a test of her cultivation level.

Those who fail will suffer mental torment from illusions.

During her Foundation Establishment stage, because she was slightly lazy and slacked off, this ancestor used powerful illusion magic to torment her for three days and three nights. In the illusionary world, she suffered multiple separations from her aunt Hong Fu and her junior brother, experiencing life and death.

But she could no longer live without his protection.

She had considered leaving him and developing her career at the Luoyun Sect. After she reached the Core Formation stage, this ancestor had given her a chance to choose again: whether to go to the Luoyun Sect to follow Hong Fu or to continue staying at the Hehuan Sect.

But after careful consideration, she decided to stay.

Although the Luo Yun Sect is good, and her great-aunt will definitely do her best to cultivate her, the problem is that if she goes to the Luo Yun Sect, she will lose access to the resources of the He Huan Sect. At that time, her chances of breaking through to the Core Formation stage will only increase by 20%.

It's probably not going to work.

If one remained in the Hehuan Sect, the situation would be vastly different.

Whatever the Luo Yun Sect has, and whatever her great-aunt Hong Fu can provide for her, she can enjoy as well. No matter where she is, her great-aunt Hong Fu will fully support her.

At the same time, the Hehuan Sect will do its best to help her cultivate.

Not only can she obtain the subsequent Nascent Soul stage cultivation method of her current main cultivation technique when she reaches the late stage of Core Formation, but she can also receive the power transmission and empowerment from Ancestor Yunlu before forming the Nascent Soul stage, greatly refining her internal mana and true essence, thus increasing her success rate in forming the Nascent Soul stage. She can enjoy all the assistance that the Hehuan Sect possesses to help her break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In short, once she goes to Luoyun Sect, she will lose everything she has in Hehuan Sect.

If she stays in the Hehuan Sect, she can still try to obtain resources such as the Dingling Pill from the Luoyun Sect.

So, how to choose? It's not that difficult, is it?

...

Yuanwu Kingdom.

The former residence of Xin Ruyin.

Guided by Xiao Mei, Han Li made his first in-depth visit.

On his previous visits, he had always passed through the passage three times without entering.

this time.

He entered without much hesitation.

Initially, he waited in the courtyard of the guest room for a few days. During this time, he not only gave guidance to Xiaomei's cultivation, but also to the middle-aged man of the Li family and the young girl of the Han family. He also left some low- to mid-level cultivation supplies for the two children, Han and Li, as a small gift from an elder.

just.

On the fifth day.

He couldn't stay idle any longer.

After much deliberation, he decided to return to his temporary cave dwelling in the outside world.

"Xiaomei, activate the formation. It's better for me to stay outside. How can a guest stay long when the host isn't home?"

Han Li called out to Xiao Mei.

"Senior, is there anything I have done wrong in our hospitality?"

The woman, dressed in green palace attire and without makeup, stepped forward anxiously.

"It's not that you've been unhospitable, but rather that Han's way of doing things has become a habit. So, please don't try to keep me here. It's best if we just go with our own pace. It'll save you trouble, and it'll put my mind at ease."

Han Li said tactfully.

Honestly, being in an unfamiliar formation always made him feel uncomfortable, and Xin Ruyin's elegant residence always gave him a feeling of being in a cage.

And this feeling became stronger as time went on.

He felt uneasy staying in a large group led by others for a long time.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the master and servant.

He also didn't need to worry that the two women would repay kindness with enmity.

Even if the master and servant really wanted to target him, the great formation here couldn't trap him; it would only hinder him for a while.

His desire to leave and go out stemmed entirely from the frustration of losing control of the situation.

"Understood, senior. This way, please."

Both sides should respect each other.

Han Li followed the passage of the great formation to the outside world.

Once he returned to the temporary cave he had created, he completely relaxed. The tension he felt inside Xin Ruyin's former residence vanished entirely.

"After cultivating Tao for over a hundred years, it seems I have finally fallen ill."

The higher one's cultivation level, the more severe the symptoms of persecution complex become.

Nearly ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, his intuition kicked in, and he suddenly looked towards the due south.

"coming."

To the south, dozens of miles away, two figures were rapidly approaching on a pink flying carpet.

After silently scanning the two with his divine sense, Han Li smiled.

But when he habitually extended his divine sense a little further, to more than two hundred miles away, his expression suddenly changed.

All smiles vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

"Nascent Soul stage?"

Moreover, it's not just an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

He is an old monster in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Could it be the Old Demon Yunlu?"

at the same time.

Two hundred miles away from Xin Ruyin's former residence, a handsome figure hidden in the clouds suddenly narrowed his pupils and looked towards the cave's grand formation:
"What's going on? Just now, I had a feeling of being watched..."

It felt like the old demon Hehuan was spying on him from the shadows.

"There are Nascent Soul cultivators here, and there's even one comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

impossible?

Yunlu immediately became extremely alert.

My vigilance suddenly surged.

He suddenly suspected that this was yet another scheme set up against his bloodline and his descendants, and also against him.

After all, Dong Xuan'er is his only perfect successor.

They can inherit his physique and even his cultivation level, and everything else.

If this descendant reaches the mid-Nascent Soul stage before his death, he will bestow upon him all his cultivation, and may even nurture a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. This is the most orthodox and powerful inheritance of the Joyful Union Sect.

The same principle applies on the other hand.

"Luckily, the vigilant ones followed us."

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Immediately.

He looked at Xin Ruyin and her servant with murderous intent in his eyes.

The master and servant, who were a hundred miles away, both shuddered.

Han Li was unsure why Dong Xuan'er and Xin Ruyin were following Yun Lu, but he didn't want to run into them at this moment.

Although his spiritual sense was superior to his opponent's, his overall strength was far inferior.

If they meet, some things may be difficult to explain, and there is a high chance that things will fall apart.

If that's the case, it's better not to meet.

"Why is Yunlu just like Master Hongfu, both of them like to stalk Senior Sister Xuan'er?"

Isn't this controlling behavior a bit too much?

When my senior sister was in the Qi Refining stage, Master Hongfu would accompany her, for fear that something might happen.

Even though my senior sister is in the Foundation Establishment stage, Master Hongfu will not let her go to the battlefield. Whenever she goes out, she will accompany her.

now.

Replace it with Cloud Dew Old Demon.

You should know that Senior Sister Xuan'er is already in the mid-stage of Core Formation, yet this dignified Nascent Soul stage cultivator is still following behind like a peeping tom.

If he were given this kind of care, he would become suffocated and depressed.

"My senior sister's life has truly been like walking on thin ice..."

With a soft sigh, Han Li tossed a storage bag onto the table:

"Fortunately, we had prepared for the worst beforehand."

Next to the storage bag, a communication jade slip quietly appeared.

He then vanished in a flash, concealing his presence before swiftly fleeing into the distance.

He could detect Yunlu in advance, but the other party might not be able to sense him in advance.

really.

Yunlu's divine sense did not extend more than two hundred miles.

This allowed him to leave the area with ease.

When Dong Xuan'er and Xin Ruyin arrived, Xiao Mei led them to Han Li's temporary cave dwelling.

"Huh? Where is Senior Han? Why is his cave completely open?"

Xiao Mei approached and asked in confusion.

Xin Ruyin frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er felt as if the joy she had been suppressing had been doused with cold water.

"Han Li..."

The joy on the beautiful woman's face faded, and she hurried forward.

After rushing into the cave, they looked around and found it completely deserted.

Yes, all that remained were a storage bag and a jade slip on the tea table, as well as a cup of spirit tea that was only half full.

"The senior has left?"

Xin Ruyin, who entered next, frowned even more deeply.

He touched the rim of the teacup as soon as he came up:
"It's hot, so they must have just left a short while ago."

"Why? Why won't he even see me?"

Dong Xuan'er's pretty face flushed red, and her eyes became even redder.

"I clearly saw Senior Han just half an hour ago. He has been waiting for more than ten days. There is no reason for him to leave as soon as you arrived, Miss Dong."

Xiao Mei asked in confusion.

Xin Ruyin was also completely baffled.

why?

"Senior sister, let's take a look at what the jade slip says first. Perhaps Senior Han has his own reasons?"

Xin Ruyin advised.

Dong Xuan'er took a deep breath and nodded:
"it is good."

She picked up the jade slip and pressed it against her forehead to preview it.

My mind sank into it, and soon I heard that familiar yet distant voice:

"Senior sister, it's been a long time..."

"Bastard, bastard!"

What the hell!

What about people?

　I'm a bit busy today. I have things to do this morning and at noon, but there will be another chapter later.
