Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 772 - 390, Five-colored jade bi, the secret legacy of immortals (please subscribe)_2

"At that time, not only will my Divine Soul collapse, but even your affairs, Xu Shengjun, will be known to that personage," the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator spoke, enduring the pain.

"Soul Curse?" Xu Xing frowned slightly. He didn't know whether the Soul Curse the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator mentioned was true or false, but he had no desire to experience its 'dangers'.

"I can promise you," Xu Xing began after a moment's thought, glancing at the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator's Nascent Soul, "if I one day ascend to the Immortal Realm, and you no longer pose any threat to me, I will spare your life. This is provided you reveal the secrets of the imperial dynasty that you are able to speak of..."

"Now, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. If your companions or the Chiming Imperial Dynasty come to save you, before I die, I will also crush your Nascent Soul," Xu Xing threatened coldly.

"Is what Xu Shengjun says true?" With Xu Xing's threat and inducement, the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator was visibly moved. He quickly asked, fearing Xu Xing would go back on his word.

During his time in the Lang Huan Cave Heaven, he had personally witnessed Xu Xing refrain from slaughtering the cultivators of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, instead granting them a chance at life, thereby upholding his principles of the Righteous Path. Before, he would secretly laugh at such conduct of the Righteous Path, thinking it pedantic. But today, with it being his turn, he was extremely grateful that Xu Xing was a Righteous Monk.

It is well known that Righteous Monks, once they make a vow, will not easily break it unless absolutely forced to. This was unlike Demon repairs, who tore up contracts as easily as eating or drinking.

"What I say will not be false," Xu Xing said coldly.

After speaking, in the presence of the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator, he swore a Blood Oath, pledging that if he were to violate his vow, he would suffer a terrible death.

"Alright, since Xu Shengjun is so forthright, then I, Li Fan, will hide nothing." The Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator nodded in satisfaction, unaware that Xu Xing had cultivated the Mother-Child Twinning, a Demonic Path secret technique. In the Purple Yin Realm, apart from Nan Ling of the Mingquan Sect, who had originally exchanged this Demonic Path secret technique with Xu Xing, perhaps no one else knew this secret.

"Please speak plainly, Brother Li." Xu Xing's expression softened slightly. He nodded, his words showing considerable respect for the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator. This attitude also greatly pleased the Black Bamboo Hat Cultivator. He gave a slight nod and said, "My name is Li Fan, a member of the Shen Ce Army of the Chiming Imperial Dynasty, responsible for guarding the Central Capital."

"But eight thousand years ago, I received an order from His Majesty to come to the East Huang Continent in the Purple Yin Realm to monitor the Flying Feather Immortal Palace and secretly eliminate their Primordial Spirit Cultivators..."

"Eight thousand years?" Xu Xing's heart stirred. The eight thousand years Li Fan mentioned coincided precisely with the time when the Qingzheng Daoist of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace obtained the fragmentary Supreme Resonance Scripture in the Secret Realm.

Combined with what Jiang Yueying had said about the Fortune Virtue Immortal...

"Could it be that the Chiming Imperial Dynasty is worried about the appearance of a Fortune Virtue Immortal in the Lower Realm? Yes, Dao Principles are hard to comprehend, and Immortal Techniques are difficult to master. Only this Fortune Virtue Immortal represents the most probable path to ascension for many cultivators in the Lower Realm..." Xu Xing suddenly had an epiphany.

"The three realms of Refining Void are merely a Left Path. A Fortune Virtue Immortal, however weak, is still an Immortal who has Sensed the Heavenly Heart. If a Fortune Virtue Immortal were to mature, their strength might not match the Chiming Imperial Dynasty, but their significance would be extraordinary, potentially shaking the very foundations of the Dynasty's rule. With a path to becoming true Immortals available, who would willingly cultivate incomplete techniques from the Left Path?"

"So... the Primordial Spirit Saint Monarchs of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace were all secretly murdered by you..." Xu Xing's gaze was profound. At this moment, he largely understood why, among the Ten Major Sects, only the Flying Feather Immortal Palace and the Nanhua Sect had experienced sudden deaths of Primordial Spirit Saint Monarchs, while such incidents were rarely heard of in other sects. The reason, he surmised, was that the Nanhua Sect and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace were allied by marriage for ten thousand years. The Chiming World was concerned that the fragmentary Supreme Resonance Scripture might have also fallen into the hands of the Nanhua Sect. Hence, they targeted Elder Zuo Qiu. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Xu Shengjun, I was only acting on orders..." Seeing Xu Xing's gaze, Li Fan felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine. However, remembering the Blood Oath Xu Xing had just sworn, he pushed this worry to the back of his mind.

"Are there any other secrets? This secret alone isn't worth such a great price from me," Xu Xing said, dissatisfied. If not for the information about the "Fortune Virtue Immortal" he had obtained from Jiang Yueying, what Li Fan was saying now would be practically useless. When Xu Xing had first discovered Li Fan, he had already guessed that Li Fan was the one who had murdered numerous Saint Monarchs of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace over the past ten thousand years.

"Besides that, I also know one more secret. His Majesty is searching for a treasure in the Purple Yin Realm..." Li Fan said after a moment's thought. "That treasure is a Five-Color Jade Bi."

"Five-Color Jade Bi?" Xu Xing raised an eyebrow, puzzled. Since Li Fan had been observing his battle with Chi Yuan and the Gong Family Sage Monarch for so long in the Lang Huan Cave Heaven, it was illogical that he hadn't seen Xu Xing take the Five-Color Jade Bi from Ruan Baimei.

"Could it be..." Xu Xing suddenly thought of something, his heart jolting violently, his expression nearly changing.

"This time, the cultivators who entered the Jade Void Minor World were all at the Primordial Spirit Stage, and the 'item' they sought was the legendary Immortal Relic—the Ten Thousand Evil Stone. He had initially wondered why Mr. Jade Void couldn't find this paramount treasure himself and had to deploy Primordial Spirit Cultivators to search for it. Now, it seemed there was likely only one truth: Refining Void Immortals, or those who had cultivated Refining Void Techniques, could not perceive the existence of Immortal Relics."

Xu Xing had already discerned that Li Fan had begun cultivating Refining Void Techniques. He was just one step away from transforming from a Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit to the Half-step Void Realm. Cultivators practicing Refining Void Techniques gradually develop a "Void Domain" within their Dao Bodies. With this "Void Domain," cultivators can command the Heavenly Dao within a certain range, turning the power of heaven and earth to their use, equivalent to establishing an array formation on the spot. Once they master the "Void Domain" and refine their own Dao Principles into it, they are considered to have achieved the Refining Void Realm, becoming Refining Void Immortals.

Xu Xing had reached the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit stage and could begin cultivating Refining Void Techniques; within the Fire Spirit Sect, he naturally had a clear understanding of this realm's characteristics. It was also because Li Fan had not yet entered the Half-step Void Realm; otherwise, had he unfurled his "Void Domain," Xu Xing, even using the Immortal Technique "Divine Ape Transformation," would have found it difficult to approach his Dao Body, let alone destroy it directly.

"Immortal Relics might conceal a great secret, perhaps a weakness of the Chiming Imperial Dynasty that could be exploited..." Xu Xing speculated silently. Immortal Relics were so highly valued by the Chiming Imperial Dynasty; if they were merely treasures for realm breakthroughs, the Dynasty wouldn't go to such lengths, even hunting down the Heavenly Gate..."

Xu Xing did not reveal to Li Fan that the Five-Color Jade Bi was already in his possession. He changed the subject, asking a few other questions. Only after Li Fan's attention was diverted did Xu Xing inquire about the Immortal Relics and why the Chiming Imperial Dynasty forbade Primordial Spirit Cultivators from using them for breakthroughs.

"I do not know about this matter. I only know that the imperial princes and nobles are extremely guarded regarding Immortal Relics and unwilling to speak of them," Li Fan said, unguardedly pouring out everything he knew about Immortal Relics. "Ah, by the way, the Central Capital Sky Prison holds cultivators of the Heavenly Gate. These are the cultivators who used Immortal Relics to achieve their breakthroughs..."

"Are there any other secrets?" Xu Xing pressed again, his voice deep. "Just now, my questions for Brother Li were routine. If the secrets Brother Li now reveals are of further value to me, I wouldn't mind helping Brother Li recover some of his vital energy. Remaining in such a severely injured state must be very uncomfortable for you, Brother Li," Xu Xing said with a smile.

"There are no more," Li Fan sighed, shaking his head. "I am just an ordinary guard; I do not know much." If he had more secrets, he truly would have liked to exchange them for some Healing Pills to recover his Magic Power. But alas, Xu Xing had already extracted most of what he knew. As for truly important secrets, he dared not speak of them due to the Soul Curse.

"In that case..." Xu Xing mused for a moment. With a flick of his sleeve, he sealed the Jade Bottle containing Li Fan's Nascent Soul, blocking off all senses from it, then casually tucked it into his sleeve. He then employed an Escape Technique, departing from the Butian Sect and arriving at the Demon Domain, the territory of the Yama Palace.

He randomly captured a Nascent Soul Demon repair, placed a Prohibition within its body, and then handed the Jade Bottle containing Li Fan's Nascent Soul to this Demon repair.

「Then.」

Xu Xing instantly teleported a thousand miles away. Controlling the Demon repair's mind, he began to refine Li Fan's Nascent Soul within the Jade Bottle using demonic techniques.
