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

Chapter 226 Jin Kui: The intelligence is inaccurate!

The connection must be clearly severed.

He was also curious as to what Jin Kui was doing here.

The spiritual energy sun behind that guy was practically blinding to the eyes of all the low- to mid-level cultivators on the island.

"I have a feeling that...they don't have good intentions."

Han Li thought to himself.

After pondering for a moment, the bearded man stood up and cracked his neck:

"Brother Xiao, please wait here for a moment. Qingyi and I will go out and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi stroked his beard and nodded.

Han Li had no objection to this:
"Then, I'll leave Jin Kui to you two to deal with."

He's definitely better suited to be a surprise attack from the shadows.

"By the way, I'll lend you these two treasures for now. I think Jin Kui's intentions are not good, so it's always good to be on guard."

As he spoke, he tossed a pendant to the bearded man.

He tossed Qingyi an antique pendant.

"Wan Tianming's Pure Moon Pendant? That's a treasure. Qingyi didn't want it last time, Brother Xiao, are you planning to give it away again?"

"Dream on, you'll have to pay me back later."

Han Li said irritably.

Although he is generous, he wouldn't go to such lengths as to offer equipment away.

The ancient pendant is another high-level ancient treasure that was found inside the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Defensive.

It can be used after a little refining.

If the wearer encounters danger, the wearer will spontaneously protect them, demonstrating a high level of spirituality.

"Thank you."

Qingyi accepted the ancient pendant, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

Not long after the two left, they had an unpleasant encounter with Hoshimiya, the third-ranking figure.

The main point is that Jin Kui immediately used his power to intimidate others, demanding to trade for the Longevity Fruit or the Elixir of Immortality.

It's not a request, it's a demand.

The kind of forced transaction.

This immediately displeased the bearded man who was trying to please him, and he refused on the spot.

The contradiction arises from this:

"Barbarian Beard, Qingyi, you two should think this through. The two saints only want to exchange two longevity pills. It's fine if you two reach a deal with me, but if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for settling accounts later."

"Kim Kyu, are you... threatening me?"

When the muscular, bearded man asked this question, he deliberately drew out his voice.

"It's not that I'm threatening you, but that I'm stating a fact."

Jin Kui said calmly.

As the third most powerful figure in the Star Palace, he doesn't have the bad habit of begging for deals with others.

Moreover, he has the endorsement of two saints this time.

He was looking for a powerful figure to test the power of this top-tier treasure bestowed by the two saints.

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi, both mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, served as stepping stones.

If he could fight two against one, his reputation would be even greater. In the future, if the two saints stepped down, there would be a vacuum period of several decades for him and his niece Ling Yuling.

Whether I can turn my life around and get my fill of certain things depends on whether I can establish my authority by taking down someone of importance this time.

If one can truly establish their identity as "the number one person below the four great cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea," then there are some things that are not impossible to obtain.

"If the four great cultivators of the Star Sea pass away one after another, I will lead the Star Palace to make it great again!"

therefore.

He made no attempt to be tactful whatsoever.

Such domineering and arrogant behavior naturally angered the barbarian.

"Good, very good. But Jin Kui, you take yourself too seriously."

After exchanging a glance with Qing Yi, the bearded man curled his lip and said:

"If the two saints were to come in person, I would still show them some courtesy. But what are you? You are just a perennial third-ranking official, not even a formal third-ranking official of the Star Palace. You can only mobilize a few people. And you think you can use me to establish your authority and force me to submit? Hmph."

If he were all alone, he might accept defeat.

After all, the size of the Star Palace is what it is, and with his lifespan not long, he really doesn't want to get involved in those ridiculous power struggles and "territory battles."

Furthermore, the elixir of immortality was no longer of any use to him.

Trading the two remaining pills with Kim Kyu for some good stuff wouldn't be a bad deal.

What's a little loss of face in exchange for some necessities? Most people don't even have the opportunity to gain such a benefit.

But the situation is different now.

First, he had Qing Yi as a ally who would stand by him through thick and thin. Second, their new ally, Xiao Cha, was watching from inside the cave. As the saying goes, even if you lose the battle, you can't lose face; if he lost his composure in front of Jin Kui, he feared his old friend would look down on him. Third, he, Man, still owed Xiao Cha a piece of Gengjin and a Longevity Pill.

I just didn't have time to give it to them because we were talking about other things earlier.

If the Longevity Pill is given to Jin Kui at this time, what will he use to satisfy Xiao Cha later?
How can I give that old friend an explanation?
It should be noted that this Longevity Pill was one of the bargaining chips used by the other party to help him compete for the Heaven-Mending Pill during the cooperation between the three parties at the Void Heaven Palace; it was the final payment.

Even though he suffered a "silent loss" in the transaction for the Heaven-Mending Pill, he never thought of breaking the contract.

Furthermore, according to what he learned from certain people, the one who spread the false information that "the Heaven-Mending Pill can increase lifespan" was none other than the Star Palace!

They are the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Stars!
Regardless of Xinggong's motives for releasing this false information, he is the one who is most hurt.

Grass.

The Heaven-Mending Pill that he had gone through so much trouble to obtain had no effect on prolonging life at all; he had been made a fool of by the Star Palace.

Tolerable or unbearable.

Finally, and most importantly, is the overall strength of one's own side.

He, Qing Yi, and Xiao Cha were all mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!

Then there are Xiao Cha's two concubines who have only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage, but whose Nascent Soul foundation is already very solid.

Five people in total, are you afraid of Jin Kui alone?
Do they really think they're the two saints?

"Hmph, Jin Kui, let me tell you, there are no more Longevity Pills. Qing Yi and I used them all up long ago."

"If you want it, go to the Void Heaven Palace to pick it yourself more than two hundred years from now."

These words caused Elder Jin Kui's face to gradually darken.

Fortunately, the mask concealed his embarrassing moment, so outsiders couldn't see it.

"Barbarian Beard, have you thought this through?"

Kim Kyu maintained his calm tone.

just.

However, it always gives people an increasingly oppressive atmosphere.

"I have nothing to offer, but you can take my life if you want. Come and get it if you dare. Anyway, I don't have many years left to live, so it's good to take someone down with me before I die."

The bearded man grinned.

He revealed a set of snow-white teeth that gleamed with a cold light.

Such recklessness made Kim Kyu slightly uneasy.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

"This guy…"

Jin Kui was secretly furious.

However, we must be cautious.

Given the nature of the bearded man, he might actually do something as despicable as dragging others down with him before he dies.

But that fleeting feeling of unease quickly subsided.

As a disciple of the previous generation of the Twin Saints and a follower of the current generation, he is also considered exceptionally talented. He formed his Nascent Soul before the age of three hundred, reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage at over five hundred, and now, at over eight hundred years old, his cultivation has reached the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage. He surpasses his other fellow disciples by a great margin.

Previously, he had no ulterior motives and dared not think too much. But if he could really get a longevity pill, his lifespan, which was originally only about three hundred years, would be extended considerably. Perhaps he could live until after the two saints passed away?
At that time, anything is possible.

"I cannot back down. I came here not only for that young palace master, but also... for myself!"

As Jin Kui pondered, he also glanced at the old man in blue robes beside the bearded man and said indifferently:
"Qingyi, what about you? Would you be willing to exchange two Longevity Pills for the Twin Saints?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum:

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you are far too overestimating me. How could I possibly have any more Longevity Pills?!"

"Back then, my strength was weak, far from being a match for that guardian mountain demon. During the opening of the Void Heaven Palace, I only managed to get a few Longevity Fruits by following Brother Man. If you need ripe Longevity Fruits, there are still several on the tree that haven't been picked yet..."

In other words, more than two hundred years later, you, Jin Kui, will have to go and retrieve it yourself.

In short, it was a polite refusal.

of course.

Compared to the tough tone of the barbarian, Qingyi's tone was much gentler.

"Very well, you really are just good at making fun of me."

Jin Kui shook his head.

He knew this would happen.

“Fellow Daoist Jin, I am not trying to make fun of you, but I really don’t have any more Longevity Fruits or Longevity Pills left.”

The old man adopted a very humble posture and tone.

"Qingyi, why are you wasting your breath talking to him? If we join forces, are we afraid of him?"

Even a dog will bite when cornered.

Not to mention they aren't afraid to take action at all.

"Very well, let's see if your mouths are tougher, or your bones are tougher..."

Standing in mid-air with his left hand behind his back, Jin Kui touched the mask on his face with his right hand, his voice gradually turning cold.

They won't give it to you? Then you'll have to take it by force.

Above their heads, the small sun, which had expanded to a thousand feet, suddenly fell!
It hurtled toward Toyotama Island.

"So brave."

The bearded man flew into a rage.

A golden statue, hundreds of feet tall, appeared and rose from the ground.

One step forward, and you step into the void.

He swung his fist fiercely, striking the falling golden sun.

"Now that you Star Palace are in such a predicament, do you still dare to be so arrogant and domineering?"

Qingyi was also furious.

Do you really think he's an honest person who's easy to bully?
First Wan Tianming, and now Jin Kui has arrived.

They're all going too far, one by one.

With a cold snort, he joined his index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger, and summoned his natal magic weapon, the Azure Needle, from his sleeve.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A blue rain curtain instantly formed from below, sweeping back towards the golden sun crashing down from the sky.

...

"Husband, they've started fighting."

Yuan Yaoyan exclaimed in astonishment.

"That shouldn't be the case. Given Xinggong's current situation, they shouldn't be making enemies everywhere. Why are they being so aggressive?"

Gan Rushuang was also puzzled.

Han Li thought for a moment, then sighed softly:
"Power can move people's hearts. For their own personal gain, the interests of the Star Palace can be temporarily put aside."

Clearly, he had guessed Kim Kyu's ambition.

It also makes sense now that, more than two hundred years after the original trajectory, the two Heavenly Saints had only been gone for twenty or thirty years, so why Jin Kui and the other direct descendants of the two Saints were nowhere to be seen.

The direct descendants of the previous generation are ultimately not the direct descendants of the new generation of Star Palace Masters.

If this person and the other two did not take the elixir of immortality, they most likely reached the end of their lifespan and passed away peacefully. Or, they were too arrogant and domineering and were killed. If Jin Kui was fortunate enough to have taken the elixir of immortality, he was most likely eliminated by the Twin Saints of Tianxing before they self-destructed, as they were considered unstable factors.

It can only be said that this person underestimated Ling Xiaofeng's ruthlessness.

They also overestimated the importance of the "little follower" identity in the eyes of that Palace Master Ling.

"With the deaths of Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu, coupled with the deaths of several other mid-Nascent Soul experts from the Reverse Star Alliance who were killed by the self-destructing Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, the remaining external enemies of the Star Palace are no longer a threat. Ling Yuling has also received the empowerment and gained mid-Nascent Soul cultivation. Moreover, Ling Yuling has her own mid-Nascent Soul core group. At that point, the older generation like Jin Kui will seem superfluous..."

Having figured all this out, Han Li sighed.

This game of power is really not fun.

"Husband, should we make a move?"

Yuan Yao asked.

"Although Jin Kui is not a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he must have some powerful methods. Let's not go in yet. Let the tough-skinned Barbarian Beard go first and test the waters."

He telepathically instructed the three women to stay inside the cave.

He himself planned to use the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique or method) of the wolf-headed jade scepter to leave silently:

"Fellow Daoist Silver Moon, I beg you."

The wolf-headed jade ruyi emitted an earthy yellow light, and his figure vanished from the spot.

It was the spirit of the artifact that was assisting.

Silver Moon is the spirit of the wolf-headed jade ruyi and also the princess of the "Silver Moon Wolf Clan" in the spirit world. To be precise, she is one of the two souls, a split soul within it.

Many years ago, Han Li had tried to communicate with Yin Yue, who had missing memories.

However, since this woman was only a soul and had no physical body, she remained very wary of him, whose identity was questionable.

After much pleading and cajoling, we finally established a preliminary bond not long ago.

One major reason for this situation was his earlier mention of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. While this earned him the Wolf Head Jade Ruyi's willing acceptance of him as its master, it also aroused Silver Moon's suspicion and vigilance. Furthermore, his help in opening the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron reduced the loss of her primordial spirit power, thus granting her Nascent Soul level divine soul power. Strength determines attitude; the stronger Silver Moon had not yet adapted to her new identity.

Even in the original timeline, it took decades of quiet confinement within the original owner's storage bag before gradually accepting reality and recognizing one's dire situation.

Only then will they willingly acknowledge God.

outside world.

The three of them were now truly enraged.

The battle caused the sea to churn and surge with thousands of waves.

The battle caused the golden sun to explode, scattering thousands of feet of light.

In a two-on-one situation, Qing Yi primarily attacked with his cunning and ruthless flying needle magic weapon, while Man Hu Zi primarily defended with his powerful physique from the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art. The two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, and managed to slightly suppress Jin Kui, who had a higher cultivation level, gaining a slight advantage.

"What's going on with these two? Why do they have so many ancient treasures in their hands?"

Jin Kui grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

They realized that they, and indeed all the high-level cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea, had underestimated the two people in front of them.

It should be noted that even as the third-in-command of the Star Palace, aside from the treasures temporarily borrowed by the two saints, he only possesses one top-tier ancient treasure, three high-tier ancient treasures, and several exquisite ancient treasures with different functions that he finds useful.

But Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi possessed just as many treasures as he did.

For example, the pair of black blades he initially used as a test were absorbed by one of the barbarian's ancient treasures, a disc. The high-level black blades couldn't break free and were forcibly taken away.

For example, he used the high-level ancient treasure [Azure Umbrella] to unleash binding mystic light, attempting to restrict the barbarian bearded man. However, the barbarian bearded man absorbed part of the binding mystic light with an ancient treasure [Cloth Bag], and the rest was brutally dispersed by the spiritual power released by the barbarian bearded man ...

He unleashed a special ancient treasure, the Rope Lasso, which could ensnare the ankle of a Nascent Soul cultivator, restricting their movement or at least slowing them down.

Unexpectedly, Qing Yi took out another [Falling Immortal Rope] and looped it around the Falling Immortal Rope he had made. The two became entangled and tied in a knot.

What's most infuriating is that his top-tier ancient treasure, the [Forget-Me-Not Needle], which he had always considered his trump card, has "gone into the money hole."

Yes, it means exactly what it says.

The metal-attribute flying needle of the top-tier ancient treasure miraculously pierced into a copper coin ancient treasure that Qing Yi had offered up, and then remained motionless!

High-tier Ancient Treasure: [Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin], specifically designed to knock down smaller metal-type treasures.

Don't underestimate this copper coin's limited applicability; once it falls within the scope of its restraint, it can still knock down even top-tier ancient treasures.

"hateful."

Jin Kui was furious.

They brought out another high-level ancient treasure, the Bewitching Bell.

This treasure was bestowed upon him by the previous Star Palace Master, who was also his mentor.

The sound of the bell can shake the soul of a cultivator, shock their mind, and slow down the reactions of cultivators of the same level. Those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm whose spiritual sense is not strong enough may even experience a brief moment of disorientation. And this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for battle.

As for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage?

They were all bewitched and hallucinated, and ultimately left to be slaughtered.

This is also one of the main reasons why Jin Kui acts so recklessly.

However, Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi were completely unaffected by the Bewitching Bell.

Then, a pendant worn around the bearded man's neck began to glow, forming a large, water-like field.

The intrusive ringing was completely neutralized by the water-like field of energy.

"How do you have Wan Tianming's [Quiet Moon Pendant]?"

The high-grade ancient treasure, the Quiet Moon Pendant, can block out most demonic sounds.

The bewitching sound of the bewitching bell is precisely within its target range.

obviously.

Neither Tian Wuzi nor Wan Tianming revealed that Wan Tianming had been humiliated in the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace.

Wan Tianming also cares about his reputation.

After seeing that Master Wan had stopped, Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi were even less likely to spread the matter and incur resentment. Privately, they could say whatever they wanted without consequence; but if things escalated, what if Aunt Wan came to avenge her nephew?
then.

Almost no one knows that Man Hu Zi possesses Wan Tianming's high-level ancient treasure.

Little did they know that Qingyi also possessed Wan Tianming's high-level ancient treasure.

No one would know that the two of them divided up most of the exquisite antiques in Baoguang Pavilion.

These two are now keeping a low profile despite their wealth.

Kim Kyu was simply caught in the crossfire.

They never expected that two people, who were not exactly dirt poor but certainly not wealthy, would suddenly become so rich.

"Barbarian Beard is one thing, but is this Qing Yi even a rogue cultivator?"

"The intelligence is inaccurate."

In the course of several exchanges, Jin Kui was shocked and furious to find that one of his ancient treasures was restricted, two were countered, and even the Black Dragon Blade was taken away by the barbarian bearded man, while Qing Yi took away the top-tier ancient treasure, the Forget-Worry Needle.

They couldn't take it anymore and unleashed their ultimate weapon.

It was a black gourd.

A glance from an outsider gives them the illusion that their mind is being drawn away.

"What's going on? Why does my primordial spirit feel like it's about to fly out of my body?"

Qingyi was greatly alarmed.

"It's the Soul Refining Gourd, one of Ling Xiaofeng's most powerful treasures. Be careful. Don't let the black wind blowing out of the gourd touch your bodies, otherwise, at best your primordial spirit will be damaged, and at worst your nascent soul will be forced to leave your body..."

Han Li secretly transmitted his voice.

I had no choice but to transmit my voice.

Only those who had searched Elder Ximen's soul, or a few others who had fought against Ling Xiaofeng, knew the power of this gourd.

"How did you come to have Ling Xiaofeng's treasure?"

The bearded man looked at Jin Kui, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.

I am furious at the malice coming from the Star Palace.

"You do have some knowledge..."

Jin Kui narrowed his eyes.

　Guys, please give me some votes! ┭┮﹏┭┮
　　I'll take a few days off and then catch up on the updates.
