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

Chapter 213 Got it
Could the other party really be a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage?
The thought of this possibility caused a bead of sweat to appear on Jin Kui's forehead.

But then I thought:
"wrong!"

"If he were truly a great cultivator, he should have come out and used his power to intimidate others long ago. Why would he hide his face and keep a low profile?"

"Or perhaps, they are afraid that the two saints will ambush them from behind, so they refuse to show themselves?"

Xinggong knew that the elders of the Twin Saints, who were unable to leave the Holy Mountain due to their cultivation of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, were few in number.

Outsiders would have no way of knowing.

Unless the other party searches Ling Yuling's soul, they cannot possibly know this.

Just as he was about to withdraw his divine sense, a terrifying surge of divine sense swept across the sea and sky, creating a massive waterspout thousands of feet high and over four hundred feet thick! It then hurtled towards him in a waterspout-like manner!

"Divine consciousness taking form?"

Is this person trying to compete with me in spiritual awareness?
Jin Kui narrowed his eyes, then nodded slightly:

"Alright."

A battle of wits is indeed dangerous.

But he still didn't believe that the other party could be a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Since the other party won't show themselves, he'll just use his divine sense to measure them.

Normally, the divine consciousness does not lie.

then.

Behind Jin Kui, a golden sphere of light appeared.

Ten zhang, one hundred zhang, three hundred zhang...

The sphere of light grew larger and brighter.

They didn't stop until they reached nine hundred feet.

Like a little sun.

This level of spiritual power has already reached the threshold of the Great Cultivator level.

This has always been one of his greatest sources of pride.

The next moment, the enormous waterspout collided with the divine consciousness mini-sun.

"Zizi..."

The area spanning dozens of miles between the two suddenly became a scene of turbulent winds and clouds, with lightning and thunder.

Clouds seemed to follow the dragon, a dragon's roar echoing through the dark clouds, leaving trails of lightning. In the void, lightning intertwined, and swathes of electric snakes danced wildly. At the points of collision, the wind howled, and the void rippled like concentric waves.

As the tremor spread, the once calm sea quickly erupted into a series of giant waves, some several meters or even tens of meters high.

Even at the bottom of the ocean, there are turbulent currents, and for a moment, undercurrents are surging.

The clear blue sky suddenly turned dark.

Looking between the two, the massive waterspout and the small sun were locked in a tug-of-war, neither able to gain the upper hand. The scene seemed evenly matched.

The radiance of the golden sun evaporates some of the water vapor from the waterspout, causing it to shrink. The water vapor from the waterspout also extinguishes some of the intense heat of the golden sphere, causing it to shrink as well.

The more entangled the two become, the more their overall size diminishes.

And this is precisely the purest and most brutal contest of divine consciousness.

The shrinking of both the waterspout and the miniature sun signifies the depletion of their spiritual energy.

"Ok?"

Jin Kui, who stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, let out a soft exclamation upon seeing this scene.

Immediately, I felt relieved:
"So, you're nothing special after all."

He felt he had a firm grasp on the opponent's cultivation level. Judging solely from his divine sense, the opponent was at most a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. As long as it wasn't a powerful cultivator, he had no reason to be timid.

With a shout, he swept his sleeve and forcefully suppressed the remaining divine sense.

The golden sphere expanded again, rapidly growing larger, almost overwhelming the waterspout.

He wanted to give the person on the other side, who was hiding their true intentions, a taste of their own medicine.

After all, it was the person in the shadows who initiated the battle of spiritual senses; it was the other party who provoked him. If his spiritual senses were defeated, he could only say that the other person was less skilled, and he couldn't afford to get angry or ashamed, could he?

"The majesty of the Star Palace...cannot be insulted."

The small sun, which had shrunk to six or seven hundred feet, suddenly expanded to nearly a thousand feet, and then pressed down on the dragon sucking water with all its might.

In this battle of spiritual awareness, he's bound to win.

"So, that's all you're capable of?"

Suddenly, this light, airy voice echoed in the void.

Kim Kyu: "Huh?"

Just as Xinggong, the third-ranking figure, was filled with doubt, the waterspout opposite them, which had shrunk to four thousand feet high and three hundred feet wide, suddenly expanded into a terrifying hurricane ten thousand feet high and four or five hundred feet wide.

His spiritual awareness increased dramatically!

That was a divine sense that was even slightly stronger than that of an ordinary great cultivator!

The golden sun, which could have stood its ground against the hurricane, quickly dimmed and shrank in the face of this hurricane, rapidly shrinking and becoming only eight hundred, six hundred, five hundred feet in diameter!

"what?!"

This person's spiritual sense is actually this strong?

Jin Kui quickly released his magic power and withdrew his divine sense, otherwise he would have really suffered a great loss.

Han Li's hurricane water tornado did not entangle them completely.

And as long as he doesn't show himself or reveal his true cultivation level, he's already giving the other party enough face.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are truly skilled."

Jin Kui, who had been carrying his hands behind his back like a wise man the whole way, unusually clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the void.

Han Li, on the other hand, went straight to the point:

"Did you bring the goods? Was the deal reached?"

“Of course.” Jin Kui waved his hand, and nine pieces of Geng gold appeared in front of him.

The big ones are as big as a fist, and the small ones are as big as a peanut.

It weighs about twelve or thirteen pounds in total.

"This is all the Gengjin that my Star Palace can offer. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving that child, Yuling. As for the remaining Gengjin, the Twin Saints believe it can be exchanged for an equivalent amount of other top-grade spiritual materials. Would you be willing to accept this?"

As Jin Kui spoke, he took out five pieces of ten-thousand-year-old golden magnetic spirit wood, a large piece of copper essence, several ten-thousand-year-old ironwood, and several pieces of demon cultivator leather, among other top-grade materials.

These are all excellent spiritual materials that can be used to refine magical artifacts.

Han Li, hiding in the shadows, was quite surprised to see such a large pile of precious items.

Because he had previously been asking for an exorbitant price.

That's asking for the moon.

He didn't expect the Star Palace to agree to the price he offered.

Even if he only gets a third or a quarter of it in the end, he feels like he's made a huge profit.

But clearly, he underestimated Ling Yuling's position in the hearts of the two saints.

They underestimated Ling Yuling's importance to the Star Palace.

"As expected, exploiting the second generation is the fastest and most stable way to make money!"

Ahead, there were unruly women and others who rescued people from suffering in the blood-red forbidden land.

Wang Chantian, who was in the middle of the country, was never short of food.

Shortly after, the young master of Qingyang Sect came to offer his assistance.

Now, even more, the daughter of the two saints, Ling Yuling, has had her Gengjin tree heart replaced…

Each one brought him very substantial and important benefits.

"Working yourself to death in dungeons is not as good as robbing a second-generation cultivator."

He even suspected that even if he took advantage of Xinggong's weakness to raise the price, as long as the increase wasn't too much, Jin Kui would probably accept it reluctantly.

However, he was not one to push his luck or be greedy. Since he had set the price himself and was certain to profit, there was no need for him to create further trouble.

"Fellow Daoist, simply hand over the item to that puppet."

Han Li's voice transmission suddenly rang out again from nowhere.

"As for your esteemed palace's young master..."

At that moment, the Foundation Establishment stage puppet handed over a restriction token from its waist:
"Fellow Daoist, you can follow the markings on the token to search underground on the coral island below, about a thousand feet away. Rest assured, I always keep my word. I did not make things difficult for the child during the search; she is unharmed and sleeping soundly."

The "cash on delivery" scheme is prone to backfiring, so he buried the person under the coral island.

It was protected by array formations and restrictions.

If Xinggong plays dirty tricks on him, he wouldn't mind giving Xinggong another big surprise.

After receiving the array token, Jin Kui looked at the puppet with its hand outstretched towards him, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

Finally, he handed over the storage bag.

The deal was struck, and Jin Kui headed straight for Coral Island.

This island is dozens of miles long, making it difficult to find people normally.

However, if you search by following the aura on the token, it's very easy.

After finding the person, a quick check revealed that they were indeed unharmed.

Jin Kui also breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he began to feel the special marks he had left on certain items in the storage bag.

As expected, they were all completely wiped out by the other party.

"If I can't preserve my mark, surely the extremely subtle mark left by the two saints using the Star Palace Secret Technique can be preserved?"

Jin Kui narrowed his eyes and murmured.

He immediately took out another special magical artifact given to him by the two saints. This artifact could sense the extremely hidden special mark inside the storage bag, and it was effective within a range of 10,000 miles.

To his surprise, the artifact did not react at all.

"Huh? How come?"

Jin Kui stood there, stunned.

That was a hidden mark left by the two saints. The two saints had sent him a telepathic message. Even renowned great cultivators like the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu might not have noticed it if they weren't careful.

Furthermore, Senior Brother Ling said that even if the other party is indeed a great cultivator, it would be impossible to erase the mark in a short period of time.

How did they manage to do that?
Finally, he tried again to find traces of the puppet, especially by using his divine sense to probe the vast ocean. All his efforts yielded nothing.

"Good means."

...

Amidst the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, Han Li's escape technique moved with incredible speed.

He himself was unaware of the extremely well-hidden mark left by the two saints.

But just in case, he put the item into a golden treasure chest and sealed it away as soon as he got it.

The ancient restrictions on the treasure chest can isolate the perception of the ancient wind-attribute array of the Crimson Forbidden Land, and even the perception of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, so that it cannot be taken away by Xiang Zhili and others. It is very effective for hiding things.

With his escape techniques fully activated, even a Grandmaster like Yuan Hou might not be able to catch up with him, even without a few burdens.

Furthermore, since he was traveling through the Gale Layer, his concealment was elevated to an even higher level.

Furthermore, Kim Kyu even explored in the wrong direction…

Jin Kui believed that the person in the shadows was hiding underwater.

In reality, it has always been high in the air.

In other words, from the very beginning, Jin Kui was misled by Han Li's subtle actions, such as "the puppet emerging from the water."
