Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 78. New World (Seeking More Reads)

Success...

At the cost of dying once through resolving with soldiers, I’ve touched the Threshold of Innate and advanced the Underground Lord Destiny by half a level...

「Reality, Guanxi Road, Court of Xing Tian.」

In the study, Xu Xing sat behind the bookcase. Seeing the three major Destinies coalesce, he pondered.

The reason why the Emperor Purple Fate, Underground Lord, only reached the Half Immortal level wasn’t difficult to guess. It must have been that at the moment he resolved with soldiers, his Soul left his body. Although he felt the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, he didn’t manage to become an Underground Lord and survive in the world. Thus, his Destiny only advanced to Half Immortal...

Resolving with soldiers is still dangerous.

The success rate isn’t much higher than other corpse resolution methods...

It’s merely a choice of last resort for Cultivators facing the calamity of being slain by weapons or warriors.

Fortunately, he possessed the Bronze Ancient Mirror, an Eternal Proof.

Although his "other self" in the Instance World failed to successfully transform into an Underground Lord while resolving with soldiers, the Bronze Ancient Mirror still fixed that "other self" at his peak state at the moment of death.

Next time he resolved with soldiers, he was confident enough to succeed in one attempt.

After all, the difficulty of resolving with soldiers lies in sensing the mysterious opportunity at the very moment of resolution and transforming into an Underground Lord just as the soul is about to scatter.

But he had taken too long in the first step...

Resulting in the second step falling short!

The failure of resolving with soldiers was most likely because my Blood-Piercing Secret Technique emptied all the Essence Blood from my body... Although becoming a Corpse Resolution Immortal is only a lesser method, also called Shedding the Corporeal Form to Attain Truth, the prior perfection of the three treasures—essence, qi, and spirit—is extremely important.

Fortunately, according to my plan, the Emperor Purple Fate, Martial Arts Immortal Talent, was born. So this risky corpse resolution was worth it...

Xu Xing glanced at the Emperor Purple Fate, Martial Arts Immortal Talent, quite satisfied.

He certainly hoped for a higher-level Underground Lord Destiny, but for him now, achieving Innate in Martial Dao was more important.

First, use the Blood-Piercing Secret Technique to bring his external cultivation strength to its peak.

Then, undergo corpse resolution once again, sensing the existence of the Heaven and Earth Bridge...

Three Years, not far off.

Xu Xing focused his consciousness within the Bronze Ancient Mirror. Seeing that the Mirror Surface could no longer project the Instance World of the late Qing Dynasty, he sighed softly.

Then he nodded, agreeing to solidify the Taoist Fruits for the Half Immortal Destiny, Underground Lord, and the Emperor Purple Fate, Martial Arts Immortal Talent.

Instantly, the hundreds of wisps of True Qi stored in his body were completely consumed.

Fortunately, Xu Xing was prepared; about twenty or thirty elixirs for replenishing essence and qi were arranged on the bookcase. He consumed these medicines one by one, and only after ingesting about ten of the thousand-year-old herbs did his body finally stop absorbing their properties.

Rebellion... also had its benefits.

If he had steadily engaged in Cultivation deep in the mountains and old forests, even solidifying a Scarlet Fate with Taoist Fruits would have been difficult for him to bear, let alone the Bright Yellow Destiny or Emperor Purple Fate above it.

With power came wealth, allowing one to use rare folk treasures as if they were mere mud and sand.

Otherwise, even if he risked his life, he would have struggled to find so many potent medicines for his own process of refining essence and transforming qi.

Is this the Faux Innate Maitreya Body?

Reversing cause and effect... it’s nothing more than this...

Even though Xu Xing had experience condensing Inborn Strange Veins, as soon as his body transformed into the Faux Innate Maitreya Body, he immediately sensed how terrifying this Faux Innate physique was.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy, drawn through the Heaven and Earth Bridge he had opened, continuously poured into his body.

His aptitude had increased by more than just twofold or threefold.

At this absorption rate, roughly seven days of Cultivation would be equivalent to consuming a thousand-year-old herb!

Achieving a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm in Three Years was no empty boast.

While using medicinal strength for Cultivation was feasible, over time, not only was it uncertain if the body’s Meridians could withstand the potent effects of ancient herbs, but the sheer price of these old medicines was enough to make anyone balk...

Essentially all the thousand-year-old herbs known on the surface in Guanxi Road were likely now on Xu Xing’s bookcase.

「Half an hour later, he finished his meditation.」

The faint golden sheen on his skin faded completely.

Xu Xing reverted to the appearance of an ordinary, somewhat frail scholar, though he looked slightly more robust than before.

As for... the Bright Yellow Destiny, Righteous Hero, it’s not really necessary to solidify it now. I’d better keep it in the Destiny column and test the ancient mirror’s functions more...

This Righteous Hero Destiny is an unexpected surprise.

When I was assassinating Fang Yun, I didn’t rush to resolve with soldiers because I feared the intense daytime sunlight might affect my Soul as it escaped its shell. That’s why Prefect Yin and the others had me detained in the Prison...

The Prison, a gloomy place, is one of the most suitable sites for resolving with soldiers.

He recalled his actions in the Instance World and abandoned the idea of solidifying the Bright Yellow Destiny, Righteous Hero.

As for assassinating Fang Yun, it hadn’t been particularly difficult.

He was a Student with government financial aid, a scholar, while Fang Yun came from a military background. When Xu Xing, in his capacity as a student of Qin Province, sought Fang Yun’s instruction... Fang Yun would hardly have suspected him of being an assassin or harbored any vigilance against him...

After all, the Elder Brother Association wouldn’t dispatch someone with such a promising future as him to assassinate a Governor.

Thus, he easily seized the opportunity while ostensibly asking for guidance on military texts, revealed his true intentions, and stabbed Fang Yun to death with a single strike of his knife. novelbuddy-cσ๓

The reason he had delayed assassinating Fang Yun for two months was twofold.

First, he was contemplating the method of resolving with soldiers.

Second, he was waiting for the Reform movement to fail and the students of Weijing Academy to scatter...

When the time came, he would be free of future worries.

He still cherished the kindness shown by Teacher Wang and the others and didn’t want them to be implicated because of him. Even though it was just an Instance World, if there was an opportunity... to do things better, why wouldn’t he?

It was an effortless benefit. Simply relying on calculations couldn’t achieve great things.

「In the twinkling of an eye.」

The Bronze Ancient Mirror changed.

[Mirror Master: Xu Hang.]

[Taoist Fruits: Underground Lord (Half Immortal), Thief Official (Yellow), Martial Arts Immortal Talent (Purple), Wenchang (Red), Reform (Red), Broad Knowledge and Strong Memory (White).]

[World: Heavenly Dragon Transforming Buddha (Innate).]

[Descending: Soul.]

[Time Flow Rate: 1 to 36.]

[Fate Grid: Justice Knight (Yellow).]

[Note: The body the Mirror Master descends into is his "other self." After the Heavenly Order is tampered with, the consequences of the Mirror Master’s actions, through a reversal of cause and effect, will be transformed into the Mirror Master’s inherent Taoist Fruits, existing eternally.]

A new world?

Heavenly Dragon?

Xu Xing frowned, somewhat perplexed.

In the first world, the late Qing Dynasty with its multiple heavens, he could at least rely on his historical knowledge from his past life to make plans. But what on earth was this [Heavenly Dragon Transforming Buddha]?!

Could it be...

Xu Xing glanced at his Bright King Body, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.

If there were no surprises, it must be that the Bronze Ancient Mirror, noticing he had cultivated the Buddhist cultivation method, the Eight-Armed Vajra Sutra, and possessed a Faux Innate Maitreya Body, had anchored his next world as the [Heavenly Dragon Transforming Buddha] world.

Yet... he still possessed the Underground Lord Destiny.

Forget it, I won’t bother for now.

Breaking through to the Innate Realm is more important. The unlocking of this new world should be critically linked to my Cultivation level. The Bronze Ancient Mirror remained dormant for so long, only activating after Yunniang brought the Musk Dragon Powder...

Xu Xing shook his head.
