Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 699 - 355, Leave the Secret Realm and head to Sea Monkey Island_2
"I've already recorded this scene with a Shadow Capturing Talisman. It will be difficult for Immortal Wen to explain these matters later on." Xu Xing took out a Shadow Capturing Talisman from his sleeve, waved it in front of Wen Renlan, and then put it into his Storage Bag.
"I wonder if Immortal Wen's betrothed spouse will believe this appearance of hers before me... well, I'm not sure either," Xu Xing added.
When there's a significant gap in Cultivation between spouses, it means that the one with higher Cultivation has a wide range of choices and won't tolerate the one with lower Cultivation making mistakes. For someone like Wen Renlan's betrothed spouse, taking another spouse would not be a difficult matter.
"Daoist Xu, truly impressive methods!" Wen Renlan was so furious that she couldn't help but laugh. Even as his enemy, she had to admire Xu Xing's intelligence and resourcefulness at this moment. She thought that threatening Xu Xing to hand over the Storage Bag would work, but she never expected it to become his countermeasure against her, giving him leverage.
"At present, the only viable option is for me to... retrieve Immortal Wen's clothes from her Storage Bag..." Xu Xing chuckled softly, took Wen Renlan's Storage Bag from his waist, and began to use his Divine Sense to destroy the Divine Sense Brand and Prohibitions left by Wen Renlan in the Storage Bag.
"Your Realm is lower than mine. It's wishful thinking to attempt to destroy my Divine Sense Brand and Prohibitions!" Wen Renlan sneered and spat out a gray Pill. She rubbed it between her jade palms, and the Pill transformed into a White Jade Array Plate. "Apart from the method Daoist Xu mentioned, I have another way. I can open my Cave Mansion and claim that you are a thief who broke into my Cave Mansion!"
She muttered an incantation, and the White Jade Array Plate instantly shone with a multicolored light, gradually opening a Spatial Channel to the outside world within the illusory Pill Cauldron.
Seeing this, Xu Xing didn't stop the formation of the Spatial Channel but instead devoted all his energy to erasing the Divine Sense Brand and Magic Power Prohibitions left by Wen Renlan in the Storage Bag.
As time passed.
「Half a day later.」
Just as the Spatial Channel was about to form, Xu Xing's face broke into a smile. He looked at Wen Renlan and bowed. "You're too slow, Immortal Wen. I have already opened this Storage Bag."
As he spoke, Xu Xing's Divine Sense entered the Storage Bag. He took out a white skirt and sent it to Wen Renlan with his Magic Power.
"In this Storage Bag, there isn't just this white skirt but also Immortal Wen's other personal belongings... Which do you think people outside would believe more: that I am your lover, or that I am a thief?" Xu Xing asked bluntly.
As his words fell, Wen Renlan's face stiffened. After cursing Xu Xing as "shameless," she halted her next move.
"Immortal Wen, since I inadvertently entered this place, everything I've done has been for self-preservation. Where is the shamelessness in that?" Xu Xing said coldly. "On the contrary, it is Immortal Wen who is being utterly shameless by going back on her word!"
Hearing those words, Wen Renlan faltered for a moment, a trace of regret appearing in her eyes. She knew Xu Xing was telling the truth. If he had intended to harm her, he would have done so when she was injured, not waited until now. On the contrary, Xu Xing had even used Sun True Fire to help heal her injuries.
"Daoist Xu... what do you mean by going back on my word? I just wanted to retrieve my Storage Bag before anything else," Wen Renlan defended herself, trying to maintain her composure.
In truth, she hadn't intended to go back on her word from the beginning. It was just that... in her dealings with Xu Xing, she wanted to hold the upper hand. Secondly, it was also to retaliate for Xu Xing taking her Storage Bag while she was vulnerable and healing. However, she had never expected Xu Xing to be so clever, discerning her weakness from just a few words. Furthermore, with his formidable strength, he had managed to erase her Divine Sense Brand and Magic Power Prohibitions on the Storage Bag before she could open the Spatial Channel to the outside world. Truly terrifying!
"It's useless to say so much now..." Xu Xing shook his head. After this experience, he resolved never to easily trust Wen Renlan again, even if her actions were somewhat understandable.
Wen Renlan, at his side, seemed to accept her fate. She took a deep breath and said, "I will honor our previous agreement and help Daoist Xu gain a foothold in the Chiming World." Her personal belongings were in Xu Xing's control. If they were exposed... even if her explanations were perfectly reasonable, other cultivators wouldn't believe her. Outsiders would be more likely to believe that Xu Xing was her lover rather than the truth. After all, her Cultivation was by no means weaker than Xu Xing's, perhaps even stronger; how could she be so easily subdued by him? Similarly, her betrothed spouse would not easily risk choosing to trust her in this matter.
"As soon as I am safe, I will leave without bothering Immortal Wen." Xu Xing nodded.
「One quarter of an hour later.」
With the help of the Cave Mansion Array Disk, Wen Renlan took Xu Xing out of the Cave Mansion and into the outside world.
"The Cloud Dream Secret Realm is on Six Ships Island. It's not my Cave Mansion but a Secret Realm controlled by the Fire Spirit Sect..."
Upon leaving the Cave Mansion, what Xu Xing saw was not the interior of the Fire Spirit Sect, but an endless, vast ocean of green waves. The island under his feet was shaped like a ship, about ten miles in circumference, resembling a lone boat in the green sea.
Hearing Wen Renlan's explanation, he was taken aback, realizing he had been deceived by her from the start. His initial guess had been correct; the Cave Mansion was indeed a Secret Realm. If he had known earlier that the Cave Mansion was a Secret Realm, he wouldn't have needed to be constrained by Wen Renlan.
This woman is deeply cunning; it's better to provoke her as little as possible. After I gain a foothold in the Chiming World, I should distance myself from her... Xu Xing thought. Clever people dislike dealing with other clever people; one never knows when they might fall into another clever person's trap. If not for his strong Divine Sense, allowing him to open Wen Renlan's Storage Bag in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"The Cloud Dream Secret Realm is a previously developed Secret Realm. It's preserved because Green Li Spirit Flame is stored beneath it..." Wen Renlan explained. "The Green Li Spirit Flame is of great use to my Fire Spirit Sect."
"I wonder how far Six Ships Island is from the Fire Spirit Sect?" Xu Xing asked composedly, extending his Divine Sense. His Divine Sense range, which could cover thousands of miles in the Lower Realm, was only one to two hundred miles in the Chiming World. Finding another Spirit Island with such limited range would not be easy.
"About three thousand miles," Wen Renlan replied. As she spoke, she hesitated for a moment, then looked at her Storage Bag on Xu Xing's waist. "There's a Sea Map in this Storage Bag; Daoist Xu, you can check it yourself..."
Hearing this, Xu Xing didn't take out the Sea Map from Wen Renlan's Storage Bag but pondered for a short while.
"This is your Storage Bag, Immortal Wen. I won't go back on my word," Xu Xing said, taking the Storage Bag from his waist and handing it to her with his Magic Power. "As for your other personal items, I'll hold onto them for now to ensure you don't try anything."
"Daoist Xu... you are a man of your word. It was I who wrongly assumed ill intentions from a gentleman..." Wen Renlan looked at him, a surprised expression on her face. She accepted the Storage Bag and bowed to Xu Xing in apology.
A moment later, Wen Renlan took out the Sea Map and handed it to Xu Xing. Then, with a flick of her Cloud Sleeve, she transformed into a streak of Escaping Light and headed southwest.
Xu Xing followed closely behind her Escaping Light. After several hours, he finally caught sight of a huge island, as large as Lu Continent, rising majestically from the azure ocean.
This must be Sea Monkey Island, where the Fire Spirit Sect is located... Xu Xing looked down at the entire island, comparing it with the Sea Map in his hand, and mused to himself. The Sea Map in his hand not only detailed the terrain of Sea Monkey Island but also the distribution of various powers on it. Sea Monkey Island was home not only to the Fire Spirit Sect but also to two other sects of comparable strength.
The Fire Spirit Sect alone has a Refining Void Realm cultivator. Since the other two sects are comparable in strength, it means each of them also has at least one Refining Void Realm cultivator... That means there are three Refining Void Realm cultivators on this one large island. The Chiming World... it truly lives up to its name as an Upper Realm! Xu Xing sighed inwardly.
