Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 702 - 357, Selecting the Immortal, Heavenly Saber Sect’s Su Family

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

After clearing his name, Xu Xing had been staying in the Cave Mansion rented by Huang Longzi for quite some time. During this period, Xu Xing received two more messages from Wen Renlan on the Jade Talisman.

Of these, the first message urged him to hurry to Sea Monkey Island, stating that she would leave the Fire Spirit Sect for important matters in a few months, and the next time she returned, it might be a hundred years later. The second message was Wen Renlan informing Xu Xing that she had already left.

Wen Renlan is clever; the credibility of these two messages isn't very high...

After receiving the messages, Xu Xing didn't go to the Fire Spirit Sect immediately. Instead, he decided to find a suitable excuse to stall Wen Renlan. Without investigating Wen Renlan's true background and disposition, Xu Xing dared not go to Sea Monkey Island rashly.

If he went to Sea Monkey Island to find Wen Renlan now, he would only be "begging" for her kindness, hoping she would give him an opportunity to gain a foothold in the Fire Spirit Sect and the Day Sky Ocean Region; the consequences would be uncertain. But if he waited for the opportune moment to meet Wen Renlan, the outcome would be significantly different. With different statuses, the magnitude of the rewards would naturally vary. For the same merit of saving the Emperor, a commoner would only receive money and titles, but a minister could use this achievement to gain immense power and influence.

"Initially, due to an unforeseen issue with the Cross-State Teleportation Array, I mistakenly stumbled upon the place where Immortal Wen was recuperating. One year ago, I managed to contact the Chiming Imperial Dynasty through the Emperor's Son Pavilion."

"As for going to Sea Monkey Island, I will do so when another opportunity arises."

Xu Xing pondered for a moment and wrote these sentences on the Jade Talisman.

Wen Renlan is as astute as he is. Therefore, a clever person like her wouldn't be easily put off by excuses he casually fabricated. However, while deceiving her is difficult, finding a reason that would make Wen Renlan wary and hesitant to intervene isn't hard…

Regarding the Chiming Imperial Dynasty, even if Wen Renlan and the Fire Spirit Sect harbored suspicions, they wouldn't dare investigate, risking the sect's annihilation. Furthermore, the Fire Spirit Sect would also find it difficult to investigate matters concerning the Emperor's Son Pavilion.

I'll set aside Wen Renlan's matter for now. First, I need to use the identity of Huang Longzi to fully integrate into Heavenly Star Island and join either the Heavenly Saber Sect or the Kui Star Gate…

Xu Xing made his decision.

Previously, I paid so much attention to Wen Renlan for two reasons: firstly, her "background" could help me establish a foothold in the Day Sky Ocean Region, and secondly, I was worried that her return to the Fire Spirit Sect would be detrimental to me. Now, using the new identity of Huang Longzi, I've successfully rented a Cave Mansion on Heavenly Star Island without arousing suspicion, which, in a way, accomplishes the first objective. Therefore, at this moment, there's no longer much need to expend extra energy on Wen Renlan.

The quickest way to integrate into a new place is to marry a local cultivator and become their spouse… However, apart from that, forming a community of shared interests with local powers is also a viable method. Xu Xing mused.

The first method of integrating into Heavenly Star Island, in the long run, has more drawbacks than benefits. After all, humans aren't unfeeling creatures, and this method of integration is too absolute; extricating oneself later would be very difficult. I've already experienced the Starfall Sect's 'rebellion' within the Butian Sect once and don't wish to go through it a second time. Besides, compared to the Chiming World, Heavenly Star Island, and even the entire Day Sky Ocean Region, are merely minor locales. There's no need to invest too much energy in such places. Ultimately, my breakthrough to the Refining Void Realm is within sight, unlike other cultivators who often spend thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years to break through this realm.

...

...

Since he had a temporary plan to integrate into Heavenly Star Island, Xu Xing wasn't going to just sit idly in his Cave Mansion doing nothing.

He left his Cave Mansion and followed the flow of people in the market, heading towards the large shops in the outer city of Heavenly Star Island.

Before long, Xu Xing paused in front of a brokerage. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Although Heavenly Star Island was merely a Spirit Island, it was home to tens of thousands of cultivators and an even greater number of mortals, making this Spirit Island comparable to a large mortal kingdom. Unlike the Lower Realm, Heavenly Star Island didn't have a system of strict separation between immortals and mortals; instead, immortals lived among mortals, and mortals among immortals.

With immortals and mortals influencing each other, over time, the major mortal families, the aristocratic cultivation families, and the top-tier cultivators on Heavenly Star Island must have developed intricate connections… These connections might not be useful in everyday situations, as the great families have far too many descendants… However, if such a connection could be established with a cultivator of extraordinary strength, it would be an entirely different matter.

Standing before the brokerage, Xu Xing's eyes glinted thoughtfully.

After neatening his attire, Xu Xing stepped into the brokerage. He took out his Cave Mansion token from his sleeve and placed it on the brokerage's counter.

Although the Cave Mansion token didn't explicitly state the cultivator's cultivation level, the serial number of the rented Cave Mansion was irrefutable proof of Xu Xing's impressive realm and status.

"Senior, welcome to my humble establishment. What brings you here today? Are you looking to rent a shop, or perhaps to buy or sell servants?"

Upon seeing Xu Xing's Cave Mansion token, the brokerage manager, who was tallying accounts at the counter, looked up at Xu Xing. A single glance was enough for him to sense Xu Xing's powerful realm. The manager's expression shifted instantly, and he adopted a respectful demeanor.

To the ruling sects of Heavenly Star Island, the Kui Star Gate and the Heavenly Saber Sect, a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord wasn't particularly significant; their sects had eighty, if not a hundred, such Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, for this particular establishment, Xu Xing's cultivation level was by no means low.
