Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 767 - 388. Ways to Break Through the Wonderland (Seeking Subscription)

"Sir, you've been spying for quite a while now. Isn't that a bit impolite...?"

After leaving the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, Xu Xing halted in mid-air, looking back at a particular spot in the void. His eyes grew cold as he spoke icily.

The reason he hadn't dealt further with the Aristocratic Cultivators within the Flying Feather Immortal Palace earlier was not only because he didn't want to kill indiscriminately but, more importantly, because he was wary of this hidden enemy.

A single battle would decide everything.

He had expended considerable Magic Power after killing the Gong Family Saint Lord, with less than 40% of his power remaining. Moreover, he couldn't use the Divine Ape Transformation continuously as he hadn't fully mastered it yet; there was a certain cooldown period. So, he remained hidden, biding his time. Only when his Magic Power had mostly recovered did he decide to expose the enemy lurking in the shadows.

"Xu Shengjun..." Ripples spread through the void as a Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator stepped out and greeted Xu Xing.

"Xu Shengjun, you fought and defeated two Sage Monarchs from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. You must be severely weakened now. Why not turn a blind eye instead of insisting on making an enemy of me...?" The Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator glanced at Xu Xing and sighed.

As long as Xu Xing didn't expose his presence, he, by convention, would not have attacked. A wounded tiger, even weakened, can still mount a fierce final counterattack that is difficult to withstand. Furthermore, Xu Xing's realm was no weaker than his, perhaps even slightly higher.

(In the Chiming World, the highest realm Nascent Soul Cultivators can typically reach is the Nascent Soul Sixth Tribulation. To enter the subsequent Transcendental Realm, Feather Transformation, and Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation, one must consume a Transcending Mortality Pill or possess sufficient talent to overcome this tribulation.)

"A cultivator from the Chiming World?" Xu Xing frowned, scrutinizing the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator for a few moments before asking.

Those capable of lurking within the Flying Feather Immortal Palace as Nascent Soul Cultivators were generally only from the Chiming Dynasty; it could be no one else. The Ten Major Sects of East Huangzhou weren't so extravagant as to dispatch Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs to monitor other Daoist Sects' schools.

"Chiming World?" The Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator was taken aback. "Xu Shengjun, you seem to possess a great deal of information. You even know I'm a cultivator from the Chiming World? Could it be you've been there?"

In the Lang Huan Cave Heaven, Chi Yuan's conversation with Xu Xing before his death was conducted entirely via voice transmission. Therefore, the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator had not heard Chi Yuan's last words and thus didn't know Xu Xing had been to the Chiming World, nor that Chi Yuan had already identified the mastermind behind the assassinations of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace's Nascent Soul Cultivators as the Upper Realm—the Chiming World.

Xu Xing pondered for a moment, then asked, "With Refining Void Immortals present, Nascent Soul Cultivators in lower realms like the Purple Yin Realm are hardly worth mentioning... Moreover, the Refining Void Realm is not the pinnacle in the Chiming World. Above it, there are Immortals in the Unification and Tribulation Crossing Realms..."

Through Fate Deduction, he had only gained a cursory understanding and didn't know why cultivators from the Chiming World were so obsessed with hunting Primordial Spirits from the Daoist Sects of the lower realms. Arriving in the Chiming World, he truly understood the vast disparity between Refining Void Immortals and Nascent Soul Cultivators—a gap sufficient for the former to easily crush those in the Nascent Soul Stage.

So, what exactly was the Chiming Imperial Dynasty afraid of? Were they worried that if ants grew too strong, they had to be crushed preemptively? No, it wasn't just that. Xu Xing knew that many cultivators from the lower realms had also ascended to the Chiming World. These cultivators weren't rejected but were, in fact, accepted by the Chiming World.

"You're asking too many questions." Hearing Xu Xing's inquiry, the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator's expression quickly darkened. He produced a fishing rod and flung the Silver Fishing Hook attached to it towards Xu Xing.

The Silver Fishing Hook was extremely fast and undetectable by Divine Sense; under Divine Sense, it was as if it didn't exist.

Seeing this, Xu Xing frowned deeply. He quickly formed a hand seal, and just as the Silver Fishing Hook arrived, he used the Mirror Turn Divine Skill to swap positions with the Earth Dragon.

The Silver Fishing Hook struck the Earth Dragon, its Nascent Soul instantly snared by the hook and pulled from its Dao Body.

"This Taoist Treasure is truly insidious," Xu Xing thought with a surge of lingering fear. Even with his Mother-Child Twinning technique, he would likely have struggled against this Silver Fishing Hook. Fortunately, the Earth Dragon had bought him some time.

Xu Xing channeled the Tide Feather Sword, directing it with his will to engage and entangle the fishing rod in the hands of the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator. He then reactivated the Divine Ape Transformation, an Immortal Technique, transforming into an azure ape to fight with his Physical Body.

The Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator seemed not to have expected Xu Xing to still possess the strength to use this spell. He was stunned for a moment, allowing Xu Xing to close the distance. Under the azure ape's divine power, the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator suffered successive heavy injuries, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

"How is this possible? How did he recover his strength so quickly?" the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator thought, increasingly panicked. If it weren't for Xu Xing being so depleted earlier, I would have fled the moment he spotted me, rather than fighting him here.

"I must retreat first..." he thought, forming a hand seal, intending to retract the fishing rod Taoist Treasure and withdraw.

But unexpectedly, in that brief moment of distraction, Xu Xing seized the opening and punched through his chest.

"No! Don't..."

The Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator looked horrified. He continuously spat out several mouthfuls of Essence Blood, attempting to use a Blood Escape technique to flee the battlefield.

But it was all too late.

A Nascent Soul, about three feet tall, was forcibly extracted by Xu Xing from the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator's Dantian and imprisoned in his palm.

"Now, Daoist friend, you should be able to continue discussing our previous topic..."

"Why do cultivators from the Chiming World, or rather, the Chiming Imperial Dynasty, harbor such an obsession with hunting Nascent Soul Cultivators from the lower realms?"
