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

Chapter 178 Testing the Waters, Random Teleportation, Encounter
Just then, a figure flashed outside the hall, and two elderly men in white robes walked in.

The two men had silver hair and beards, and their clothes fluttered in the wind, making them look like immortals.

He was a Nascent Soul stage elder of the Star Palace.

With the appearance of these two, all eyes turned to them.

"Why are they?"

Some of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths frowned, some squinted, and some had unpredictable expressions.

Only the neutral cultivators breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two from Xinggong.

Of the two, a kind-looking old man stepped forward and spoke gently:
"During this trip to the Void Heaven Palace, the two Holy Lords are in seclusion and are still unable to preside over the event. Elder Jin and Elder Tang have important matters to attend to and are also unable to participate in this grand occasion. Therefore, Elder Ximen and I will be responsible for supervising the event."

"The rules for this treasure hunt are the same as in previous years. If we two happen to encounter anyone who bullies the weak or kills to steal treasure during the treasure hunt, we will intervene to stop them. Those who do so will also be hunted down and killed by our Star Palace. We hope that everyone will abide by the rules of the outer hall."

"Of course, this kind of supervision in my Star Palace is only effective in the outer palace..."

"Once we enter the inner palace, the two of us will no longer interfere in any matters."

"Therefore, cultivators who lack sufficient confidence must stop at the outer hall and refrain from reckless actions..."

These two, Xing and Gong, put on an act of "I'm doing this for your own good," and those who don't understand actually believe them.

In reality, both of these cultivators who were eager to come here to search for treasure were completely dead.

Especially towards high-level cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths, these two were filled with intense malice.

That's the mentality of trying to kill as many people as possible.

therefore.

Han Li, who knew the details of Xing Gong and the other two, didn't listen to a single word.

Both the righteous and the demonic factions didn't listen to a single word.

If they, at the Nascent Soul stage, really wanted to kill a few fools, what could Xinggong and the other two do to them?

To put on airs and act pretentiously.

Humph.

Sure enough, the bearded man scanned the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

This person, merely a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, actually occupies a thick jade pillar alone in the central part of this space.

"That ignorant little fellow."

After thinking to himself, the bearded man flew over as lightly as a swallow and landed heavily on the jade pillar.

His tall and imposing figure exerted an unparalleled sense of pressure on the Core Formation stage cultivator who was originally sitting in meditation and regulating his breath.

The mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was startled awake and quickly opened his eyes to check the situation.

Upon meeting the bearded man's cold gaze, he opened his mouth, only to find it dry and parched.

The next moment, the bearded man spoke.

Simply put, just one word:

"roll!"

The sound waves echoed in the space, exceptionally loud.

The middle-aged man, at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation, felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a bone-chilling fear.

Without any delay, he immediately got up using both hands and feet, and then swiftly flew to the empty jade pillar at the edge of the area.

"At least you know what's good for you."

The bearded man grinned and gave the two men, Hoshino and Hoshino, a defiant look.

It's like saying:

What are you two old dogs?
Do they really think they're some kind of Nascent Soul stage powerhouse like the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars or those from the Star Palace?

Still setting rules?

"You're just at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet I'm already defying the rules. What can you two do to me?"

The two law enforcement elders of the Star Palace exchanged a glance, both shocked and furious.

"Fellow Daoist Man, what is the meaning of this?"

"Nothing else, I just didn't like that little guy and wanted him to move. What, are you two going to argue with me over such a trivial matter?"

The bearded man had an eager expression that suggested he really wanted to fight and get beaten up.

The two elders of the Star Palace gave a soft snort in unison, no longer wanting to make a fool of themselves by dwelling on the matter.

Frankly, even if the two of them were together, they would most likely be no match for Barbarian Beard.

Even with the use of some of the restrictions here, they can only maintain their invincibility.

"That burly bearded man..."

It wasn't just the two wicked old men, Xinggong and his companion, who hated the barbarian bearded man.

And then there was the middle-aged man who had just been chased away to let the pillar pass.

At this age, secretly gritting his teeth:
"Barbarian Beard, you're very good, very good..."

"There are so many empty pillars, why did you have to take mine..."

The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly red, and he felt incredibly wronged.

"I, Bu Xu, have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life!"

"You just wait. When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will settle accounts with you."

The grudges of today will be repaid tenfold in the future.

He firmly believes that he can definitely reach that point.

Back then, he was lucky enough to obtain the ancient "Yuan Dividing Pill" from the belly of a level four demon beast, saving him the hard work of at least a hundred years of cultivation required for dual spiritual roots to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

It was with the help of the Dividing Yuan Pill that he reached the Pseudo-Core Realm at lightning speed.

Then, naturally and smoothly, the golden elixir was formed.

Over the next two hundred years, he not only overcame the bottleneck of the early stage of Core Formation, but is now a cultivator at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation.

If it weren't for the bottleneck that limited him and caused him to waste some time, he would already be a master in the late stage of Core Formation at less than three hundred years old.

His purpose in entering the Void Heaven Palace was to find a spiritual medicine in the outer hall to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.

Then they ventured deeper into the inner palace to search for resources needed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He believed that if he could reach the late stage of Core Formation, and with his remaining two hundred years of lifespan, he would have a good chance of condensing his Nascent Soul.

Barbarian Beard.

Sooner or later, you'll become nothing but bones in a grave.

Han Li neither knew nor wanted to know what Bu Xu, the two elders of Xinggong, and Man Huzi were thinking.

He is now completely focused on the trip to the Extreme Yin Island.

"We need to find a way to tamper with these people."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go up to the fifth floor of the inner hall."

The best way is undoubtedly to follow them closely.

However, if one continues to monitor it with divine sense, it will inevitably be detected by both the righteous and demonic paths.

That would be unattractive.

Moreover, the Void Heaven Palace is heavily fortified, with many areas restricting the effectiveness of divine sense. If he's not careful, he could easily get caught up in the restrictions along the way and waste time.

and so.

If we could tamper with the Core Formation stage cultivators on Extreme Yin Island...

Then you can sneak in and pick up the bargains without anyone noticing.

"I hope I can encounter one or two of them in the first level of the Ghost Mist Trial Zone."

...

After this.

The group waited for another three days.

Until the passage gate closed, this place was completely isolated from the outside world. A white jade teleportation array appeared.

After giving a few more instructions, the two from Xinggong went forward to make adjustments:
"Alright, this random teleportation array works fine. We'll be teleported into the outer hall of the Void Heaven Palace."

"Gentlemen, please take care of yourselves."

As they spoke, the two glanced at Han Li, who was dressed in the attire of the White Water Sword Sect, seemingly unintentionally.

After speaking, they stepped onto the teleportation array one after the other.

After a flash of white light, they disappeared one by one.

Before the others could react, Wan Tianming and the other Nascent Soul cultivators moved first, floating down from the jade pillar without hesitation and arriving at the teleportation array.

The white light flashed three times in a row, and the three righteous cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage were teleported away one after another.

Following that was a beautiful woman holding a sheathed sword, namely Lady Wen.

The woman walked away very quickly, showing no intention of getting involved with Ji Yin and the others.

"You two go too, but be careful not to rush through the Ghost Mist Zone. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator, wait until they leave before choosing a path. If they're really in trouble, throw out the Azure Fire Thunder to buy some time to escape."

Upon seeing the Azure Fire Lightning, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the demonic path would likely hold back.

"If you encounter those three righteous ones, just show weakness."

The righteous old monster still has some sense of shame when he does things, and he doesn't bully the weak.

Unlike the extreme Yin sects of the demonic path, they only pick on the weak.

"Good husband."

Yuan Yao and Yan Li stepped onto the white jade teleportation array.

In that instant, the two unleashed the Spirit Fusion Technique.

Try to see if you can teleport to the same place.

Although it's a random teleportation array, it's not impossible to exploit the mechanism to gain some advantage.

"Ancestor, what...?"

The group from Jiyin Island looked towards Jiyin.

"Let's go. This teleportation array has a limited lifespan and will disappear in a while. It won't reappear for another month."

That was also the moment when the Void Heaven Palace Secret Realm came to an end.

As Ji Yin spoke, he grabbed Wu Chou and put him on the teleportation array.

The remaining three from Jiyin Island followed closely behind.

But just then, Han Li bypassed Qing Yi, who was about to step onto the teleportation array, and stepped into the teleportation array close to the three people behind Ji Yin Island.

Before teleporting, he subtly patted the shoulders of the two people in front of him.

Two divine imprints were respectively imprinted on it.

At the same time, he turned around and smiled.

"what?"

Qingyi Jushi and Manhuzi both exclaimed in surprise.

After exchanging a glance, their expressions both became more serious.
"Nascent Soul stage?"

A Nascent Soul cultivator they didn't recognize!
The key point is that their divine sense was deceived by the other party's concealment techniques!

They only realized what was happening when the other party made their move.

"interesting."

The bearded man grinned and put his arm around Qingyi's shoulder as they entered the teleportation array.

Qingyi Jushi was unwilling to do so, but had no other choice.

It's true, you can't fight city hall.

The bearded man's arms were thicker than his thighs.

What can he do?
"Come on."

"Master Wang of the Miaoyin Sect reminded us."

Zi Ling and Gan Ru Shuang followed closely behind and landed together.

Some mid-stage Core Formation cultivators nearby initially wanted to rush ahead, but upon sensing Gan Rushuang's late-stage Core Formation cultivation, they immediately stopped and tactfully gave up their positions.

"Please, three fairies."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The three women smiled and returned the greeting.

At this moment, Bu Xu felt as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.

When my cultivation advances further in the future, I will enjoy wine and conversation with the three beauties, and admire the autumn moon together.

And then.

It was his turn to teleport.

After a moment of dizziness, he found himself on a desolate and gloomy little hill.

Not far away, there was only one figure.

The other party's cultivation level was the same as his, only at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Strictly speaking, he's not at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm like him; he seems to have only broken through to the mid-stage Core Formation realm a few years ago. Compared to a seasoned mid-stage Core Formation cultivator like him, the other party's foundation in terms of magical power and spiritual sense is definitely inferior.

'Thank goodness, thank goodness it's only the mid-stage of Core Formation.'

Bu Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist, what's your name?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li turned around and glanced at the man, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"This person, I don't recall knocking him unconscious and checking him outside the Void Heaven Palace before?"

It seems like he slipped through the net.

"Fellow?"

Seeing that Han Li remained silent and had a strange look in his eyes, Bu Xu felt a little uneasy.

"My name is Li Feiyu. How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"

“Bu Xu”.

"Ok?"

What was this person's name again?

Bu Xu?

Sounds so familiar.

Just then, another beam of teleportation light descended, and a beautiful figure appeared not far from the two of them.

Upon seeing the graceful figure in purple, Han Li's lips twitched.

This random teleportation array is really random.

How could I run into this?
When Bu Xu saw the newcomer, his eyes lit up:
"Fairy, what a coincidence."

"Greetings, fellow Daoist, greetings..."

After Zi Ling regained her five senses, she first bowed gracefully to Bu Xu.

When she turned to look at Han Li, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up with admiration:
"Senior, we... meet again."

"It's been decades. Congratulations on condensing your Golden Core. Don't call me 'senior'; we're both at the Core Formation stage, so just address each other as peers."

Han Li smiled gently.

"It's been decades, senior. How come you've become a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator again?"

Zi Ling smoothed her hair at her temples, revealing her smooth profile.

"Your aptitude is lacking; reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation is already your limit. My purpose in entering the Void Heaven Palace is to find spiritual herbs to enhance my cultivation. And you? How have you been these past few years?"
