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

Chapter 256 Top-Tier Succubus in the Human Realm: Cheng Tiankun
While the Yue Kingdom's Hehuan Sect was mobilized, Han Li and his party had already left the Yuanwu Kingdom's territory.

Even though the old demon Yunlu personally led a team to the Taiyue Mountains and Xin Ruyin's former residence, searching both places thoroughly, they still couldn't find Dong Xuan'er and her servant Xin Ruyin.

The only thing they managed to get their hands on was a jade slip for transmitting sound.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Yunlu's expression shifted between light and dark.

"The Hongying Mountain lineage, huh?"

However, he believed that Dong Xuan'er would come back to him.

Because only he could give his bloodline descendant the opportunity to form a nascent soul.

Unbeknownst to Yunlu, the knot in Dong Xuan'er's heart, born of fear, had already vanished with the overwhelming confidence Han Li displayed. He had already successfully broken through his bottleneck and entered the late stage of Core Formation with the help of the Azure Flame Wine during his journey.

The remaining four-fifths of the Azure Flame Wine can greatly enhance one's power, saving decades of arduous cultivation.

The opportunity to obtain an eighth-level demon core is something that Yunlu cannot provide.

...

At the Falling Cloud Sect, on Red Tassel Peak, one of the three major peaks, everyone gathered together.

When the master and disciple met, they were filled with emotion.

Originally, Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo planned to activate the mountain-protecting formation and announce to the public that a disciple with exceptional talent was attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage and had entered the final stage of Core Condensation, thus temporarily closing the mountain for three months. This was to sever all communication between the sect and the outside world and prevent Han Li's whereabouts from being exposed.

Han Li waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for a grand display, lest it backfire and arouse suspicion.

Soon, the group arrived at the council hall of Red Tassel Peak.

Above, the three took their seats. Master Hong Fu, who was at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, sat in the center, while Cheng Tiankun, who was also at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and Lü Luo, who was at the ordinary early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, sat on the left and right respectively.

Below, on one side, were the twins Xiuting and Xiulan, followed by the descendants of Master Muli, and Song Yu. All of them were at the Core Formation stage, and were respectively Master Hongfu's eldest, second, fifth, and youngest disciples. Two seats in the middle were empty.

On the other side are six empty seats.

In front of each seat is a small table with spiritual tea and spiritual fruit.

Seeing that the main hall's doors were closed to the outside, making it difficult for his divine sense to penetrate, Han Li patted the human seed bag at his waist, causing the barbarian bearded man and others to emerge from it.

After their heart-to-heart talks some time ago, his level of trust with Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi has reached a new level.

Previously, if you wanted to get Barbarian into the human sack, you would see that guy being all coy and hesitant.

After all, this involves entrusting one's life and fortune, and handing over one's storage bag and spirit beast bag entirely; only someone with absolute trust would do such a thing. In any case, it's absolutely unacceptable for Han Li to hand over his storage bag and spirit beast bag to someone else.

But both Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi took that step one after the other. They were no longer hesitant or reluctant. Whenever Han Li made such a suggestion, there must be some tactical consideration involved. After understanding the pros and cons, Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi not only cooperated actively but also became adept at it.

This is not.

Qingyi entered the human seed bag four times.

This is the third time that Barbarian Beard has entered the race bag.

As the group of people appeared, Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo were so surprised that they both stood up from their seats.

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

"There are three other Nascent Soul cultivators?"

The two brothers looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Carrying a Nascent Soul cultivator with you?"

The four female disciples under their master, who had reached the Core Formation stage, were even more astonished.

Where had they ever seen such an incredible feat?

Doesn't a dignified Nascent Soul Ancestor have any dignity?

result.

Han Li gave them a truly vivid and engaging lesson.

"I've met three fellow Taoists."

Cheng Tiankun, Lü Luo, and Master Hongfu reacted quickly, bowing to the three of them, including the barbarian Qing Yi Yuanyao.

Qingyi and the other two smiled and returned the greeting:
"Greetings, all three of you."

At this moment, Han Li chose the first seat on the other side, instead of taking the empty seats next to his two senior sisters Xiu Lan and Xiu Ting and his two junior sisters. Today, he was not returning to his sect as one of the four disciples of Hongying Mountain, but rather representing the sect leader to discuss serious matters.

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi followed him and took their seats, the second and third seats respectively.

Yuan Yao and Yan Li spontaneously came to Han Li's side, but Han Li still let them sit in the fourth and sixth seats.

The fifth position was marked with a jade plaque, representing an additional person.

Mei Ning stood behind him.

Wen Siyue stood behind Qing Yi.

In this way, the distinction between the two regions becomes clear.

The atmosphere of the scene changed completely.

The original relaxed and cheerful mood disappeared, replaced by a sense of solemnity and seriousness.

"Master, Fellow Daoist Cheng, Fellow Daoist Lü, let me introduce you. These two are my companions, Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi, who are also the First Elder and Second Elder of our sect. Yuan Yao Yan Li is my sword attendant..."

"I have another sword attendant named Gan Rushuang. She was originally a Core Formation cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect, but later broke with the sect's Grand Elder, Ni Cai. Now she has reached the Nascent Soul stage and has reclaimed the Hidden Moon Sect's power..."

These casual words startled Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo, causing their eyes to tremble slightly.

They looked at each other in disbelief, their hearts filled with horror.

Neither of them expected that this disciple with a pseudo-spiritual root under Junior Sister Hong Fu's tutelage would possess such terrifying cultivation and achievements.

The key point is that the followers all seemed to have complete faith in and revere this child.

This is the scariest thing.

They were like a group of suicide bombers, a group of fanatical believers.

Master Hongfu was also deeply shocked.

He was deeply shaken, and his expression was extremely complex.

This disciple, whom she adored and who seemed unremarkable and honest in her earlier years, had somehow acquired such an astonishingly powerful team.

Is this still the silly, country boy she knew?
How could things have changed so much?

Fifth Junior Sister and Sixth Junior Sister Song Yu had stars in their eyes.

"Junior sister, are you and your fourth senior brother very close?"

Fifth Junior Sister asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Song Yu was first taken aback, then felt somewhat embarrassed:
"I only received more care from my fourth senior brother because of that Spirit-Stabilizing Pill."

We wouldn't say we have a particularly good relationship.

However, when she thought of how this senior brother had tricked her and exchanged a large amount of rare resources for the Spirit Stabilizing Pill and the ancient pill formula of the Song family, her hand holding the teacup tightened involuntarily.

She was able to quickly form a Core Formation and reach the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation within a few decades, with one foot already in the late stage of Core Formation, becoming a "genius that is rare to see in a thousand years among the three sects of Yunmeng," largely thanks to the assistance provided by her senior brother.

Keep in mind, she is only a little over a hundred years old.

As long as she doesn't falter and the sect strongly supports her, she has a great chance of achieving Nascent Soul before she turns two hundred.

Achieving infancy before the age of two hundred means having countless possibilities for one's future.

Her senior brother treated her very well.

"Junior Sister, is it really only because of that Spirit-Stabilizing Pill that Senior Brother is taking such good care of you?"

"Yes, definitely."

"Oh dear, if I had known this would happen, I should have asked the old man to prepare a Spirit-Stabilizing Pill for me back then. That way, we could both have received care from our senior brother, and my cultivation wouldn't still be at the early stage of Core Formation."

I'm so envious of my junior sister.

However, how could countless cultivators not envy this ancestor who possessed a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

The two women's telepathic communication naturally did not escape the divine senses of the high-level cultivators present.

Several Nascent Soul stage cultivators interrupted the conversation and couldn't help but chuckle.

Han Li shook his head and chuckled.

Even Yuan Yaoyan smiled.

Dong Xuan'er, on the other hand, looked at Han Li and felt more and more proud: He is indeed the junior brother that I have high hopes for!
Back then, it was she who led her junior brother to Yellow Maple Valley, and it was she who persuaded her great-aunt to accept him as a disciple outside the Crimson Forbidden Land. She was the one with the best judgment.

The next moment, the girl secretly glanced at Yuan Yaoyanli again, feeling secretly depressed and aggrieved. A little voice inside her pouted, her index fingers constantly tapping against her chest.

Despite feeling down, I was mostly happy for my junior.

I also feel proud.

Han Li, on the other hand, stopped listening to the whispers of his senior and junior sisters and instead looked at the three people seated above him to discuss serious matters:

"Master, I have come here to discuss some cooperation with the Luoyun Sect. I wonder if the three of you would be willing to listen?"

"cooperate?"

Lu Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, cooperation. As a gesture of goodwill, there are two pieces of information I can share with the three of you in advance."

Han Li said calmly.

"information?"

Cheng Tiankun squinted.

Master Hongfu didn't say much, but still looked at her disciple with a somewhat dazed expression. She was filled with a mixture of emotions, both admiration and deep satisfaction.

There are two pieces of information.

Han Li didn't hide anything:

"One is that the righteous and demonic paths recently opened an ancient ruin on the border battlefield and obtained a Xuan Tian Immortal Vine that had existed since the creation of this world. However, that vine has withered, and the righteous and demonic experts are trying to save it through various methods. The Spirit Eye Tree, which the three sects of Yunmeng have guarded for generations, or more precisely, the drop of pure liquid that seeps from its roots every two hundred years, is likely to be targeted by the righteous and demonic paths." The pure liquid possesses extremely miraculous healing effects.

It was only a matter of time before both the righteous and the demonic factions set their sights on this place.

Calculate the time.

I am now 206 years old.

In a few more years, the righteous and demonic paths will be plotting against the three sects of Yunmeng.

"Another piece of news is that the late-stage Core Formation cultivator surnamed Wei, whom your sect arranged to go into seclusion near the Spirit Eye Tree, is a personal disciple of the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, one of the six major sects of the Demonic Path."

I wonder if the three members of Luoyun Sect are satisfied with the sincerity of these two messages?

If they believe each other, they can continue discussing the deal.

Whether you believe it or not will not affect what happens next.

"Senior Brother Wei is actually a spy for the demonic path? That's impossible."

The one who spoke was Song Yu.

"Junior Sister, why?"

Han Li asked with a smile.

"Senior Brother Han, Senior Brother Wei joined the sect over two hundred years ago and has been diligent and conscientious ever since. More than ninety years ago, when I had just established my foundation, I received a lot of guidance from Senior Brother Wei. He is humble and polite, and his manners are those of a true gentleman, unlike the arrogant and haughty demonic cultivators, and certainly not one of those hypocrites. Uncle-Master Cheng treats him like his own son and once wanted to entrust the sect to Senior Brother Wei, which shows his character. Senior Brother, is there some misunderstanding with Senior Brother Wei?"

Song Yu bit her lip.

She always remembered those who had been kind to her.

Han Li didn't rush to comment at this moment, but instead looked at Cheng Tiankun:
"Did Fellow Daoist Cheng discover something, which is why he was assigned to guard the Spirit Eye Tree?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Tiankun did not refute, but simply sighed softly.

He did make some discoveries and became somewhat suspicious.

But he has no evidence.

Furthermore, they did not want the sect to lose such a talent with a high probability of condensing a Nascent Soul.

Based on his years of observation, he was quite certain that the young man was not a bad person at heart; he was someone who valued old friendships and was grateful. His reluctance to speak openly likely stemmed from his own difficulties. For example, even though he knew he was being secretly investigated, he didn't immediately betray the Luo Yun Sect to save his own life. Instead, he offered to guard the Spirit Eye Tree and go there to enter a life-or-death seclusion. He vowed not to form a Nascent Soul, not to leave seclusion, and not to harm the Luo Yun Sect.

He cherishes talent so much, and Junior Brother Lü Luo cherishes talent just as much.

After discussing it, the two decided to grant the boy's request and let the troubled boy overcome his inner hurdle on his own.

Seeing the changes in the expressions on Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo's faces, Han Li immediately made a guess:

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Cheng and Fellow Daoist Lü know something about this."

Upon hearing this, Song Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say next.

She really hadn't expected this to happen.

For a moment, I felt somewhat discouraged.

“Junior Sister, there’s no need for that. That Fellow Daoist Wei is indeed a remarkable person, and you haven’t misjudged him.”

Han Li secretly transmitted his voice.

Only Song Yu could hear it.

Upon hearing this voice transmission, the girl looked up abruptly and saw a friendly smile. A look of hope and gratitude flashed in her eyes.

Han Li, with a barely perceptible smile and nod, looked once more at Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo, who were seated at the head of the table:

"Actually, there are shortcuts for the two of you who want to win that person back..."

"Ok?"

Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo suddenly became interested.

"Fellow Daoist Han, do you mean you can make Wei Tian change his mind and completely let go of his obsession with the Heavenly Fiend Sect?"

"I'm somewhat confident, but I can't say I'm 100% certain."

Han Li took a sip of the spiritual tea.

Then he explained:

"The reason Wei Tian is torn between the two is that the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch of the Heavenly Fiend Sect treated him too well back then, and had the grace of raising and training him. On the other hand, your sect has also been kind to him, and after more than a hundred years of getting along, he has developed feelings for the Falling Cloud Sect. If you want to break the balance in his heart, just let that Heavenly Fiend True Monarch dig his own pit and jump into it."

Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo exchanged a glance, understanding the principle but unsure how to proceed.

then.

Then she looked at Han Li.

Meeting the eager gazes of the two men, Han Li put down his teacup:
“Wei Tian definitely has a backup plan left by True Monarch Tian Sha. Once triggered, Wei Tian will be crippled even if he doesn’t die. If Wei Tian happens to be used as a pawn by True Monarch Tian Sha, and True Monarch Tian Sha doesn’t care about the master-disciple relationship at all in order to achieve his goal, do you two think that Wei Tian will still have the same sense of belonging to Tian Sha Sect as before? Will he still be bothered by the kindness he received back then?”

The teacup was placed on the table with a soft thud.

This also resonated in the hearts of Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo.

"Gentlemen, having lost that bond, Wei Tian will likely only feel guilt towards the Luo Yun Sect! At that time, you two should personally intervene and persuade him..."

Go and win them over.

Go and care.

Try to persuade them to stay.

Take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity!

"The final result depends on how well you two perform on the spot..."

He had complete confidence in Cheng Tiankun, who could be considered a "top succubus" in the mortal world.

Look how they won over the original owner!
First, there was no intervention for strabismus.

Secondly, the original owner was granted the same position as a Supreme Elder, and the sect's annual share of one thousand mid-grade spirit stones was paid in full. Furthermore, the sect's channels were used to help the original owner collect various resources.

He then recognized Nangong Wan as his sworn sister.

When Nangong Wan got into trouble, Cheng Tiankun immediately used his connections to gather several friends to help him. He spared no expense in requesting one of the three most treasured artifacts of the Hundred Crafts Academy, and the group formed a team to deal with the elders of the Yinluo Sect. Keep in mind that at that time, Cheng Tiankun had only just recovered from his severe injuries, and his lifespan was running out. Crucially, the original owner of the body had deduced that the Yinluo Sect's greatest enemy was likely a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! Even knowing this, Cheng Tiankun still acted without hesitation.

They still dare to charge into battle...

Afterwards, he handed over the power of the sect to his original disciple, Liu Yu, who later became Liu Mei.

Even someone at the Nascent Soul stage could never achieve this level of skill.

He didn't know these succubus techniques, but he was sincerely learning them.

Study hard.

And so, Man Hu Zi, Qing Yi, Yuan Yao, and Yan Li and the other girls are all considered test subjects.

He can't be a succubus.

Even the succubi of the Falling Cloud Sect couldn't be one.

Then I'll just be a good succubus of the Xuantian Sect.

"Wei Tian has a backup plan left by the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch? That makes sense. But how can we seize the opportunity?"

Cheng Tiankun was tempted.

I'm incredibly tempted.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, do you still remember the first piece of news I just mentioned?"

"Both the righteous and the demonic paths obtained a withered Xuan Tian Immortal Vine?"

Realizing something, Cheng Tiankun's expression gradually became serious:

"So, they will try every means to enter my three sacred sites and obtain the essence of the Spirit Eye Tree?"

"Only one drop of the pure liquid flows out every two hundred years, just a few years from now. At that time, both the righteous and demonic paths will attack, and what the three sects need to do is take this opportunity to expose the many spies within their ranks. What your sect needs to do is, of course, to make good use of that opportunity to completely tip the scales in Wei Tian's mind..."

Han Li said calmly.

In the midst of conversation and laughter, a well-thought-out plan was laid out in its basic framework.

The smooth rhythm made Hong Fu even more dazed.

so similar.

Exactly the same as before.

Han Li at that time also had the same plan.

However, at that time, the child was only in the Qi Refining stage, with only the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, so he only managed to provoke a few Core Formation cultivators within the sect.

This time, however, this child, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, managed to sway several Nascent Soul stage cultivators present, as well as many other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yunmeng Three Sects.

I was wrong back then; I actually thought this kid was honest and simple?!
but.

Such a personality and ability are not bad.

Han Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The information about the cultivator surnamed Wei is indeed my biggest bargaining chip."

Cheng Tiankun cherishes talent.

The Luoyun Sect also needs talents capable of forming a Nascent Soul.

If Wei Tian can win over the hearts of the people and form an Infant, the Luo Yun Sect can truly grow bigger and bigger.

"Using Wei Dong as a fulcrum, we can leverage the power of Luo Yun Sect and even the entire Yunmeng Three Sects, and even leverage part of the power of the Heavenly Dao Alliance to prepare a big surprise for both the righteous and demonic paths. Although it will consume some of Tian Nan's power, it will be within a controllable range."

After all, this is a shortcut to solving the problem of an aging population in the cultivation world of Tiannan.

If the balance of power between the major sects of the righteous and demonic paths doesn't tip, it's difficult to outmaneuver the low-profile Ghost Spirit Sect.

He needs a weakness.
