Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

Chapter 421 - 228, A hundred years ago, the abandoned purple ribbon gold seal, personally witnessed by Master Chi Yuan_3

However, it was not difficult to identify whether the auras were of the same origin.

"It’s this Azure Fire Wolf Spider."

The female cultivator was extremely surprised upon comparing them.

"I have a grandson from the same sect who sneaked out and took the spider thread..." Xu Xing readily spun a tale, fabricating a background for his persona in the Pill Cauldron Sect’s Lingzhi Courtyard.

Seeing this, the female cultivator invited Zhao Xian, who was responsible for weaving the Seven-Star Robe.

"Brother Yao and I traveled together..." Zhao Xian recounted past events.

At this moment, she was filled with immense regret. Had she known earlier that "Yao Dang’s" grand-uncle was a True Monarch, she would never have deceived "Yao Dang", no matter what.

"He was actually in the Lingzhi Courtyard?"

"I just left the Lingzhi Courtyard... Unfortunately, I have urgent matters to attend to in the South Yue Nation. Here are some resources; I’ll have to trouble Miss Zhao to deliver them to my grandson."

Xu Xing tossed a Storage Bag to Zhao Xian.

This Storage Bag contained various pills and resources beneficial for those at the Immortal Foundation Realm. It was worth several hundred thousand Spirit Shells.

He wasn’t worried that Zhao Xian might be tempted by the wealth. Setting aside the difficulty of breaking a True Monarch’s Magic Power imprint, Zhao Xian simply couldn’t bear the consequences of offending a True Monarch. Even if she did become greedy, it wouldn’t matter; it was merely a pawn he had casually placed.

With these resources, "Yao Dang’s" rapid growth in the Lingzhi Courtyard would be perfectly logical and reasonable.

"This..." Zhao Xian caught the Storage Bag, her expression a little dazed. She and "Yao Dang" had some past grievances, so acting as a messenger to deliver something to "Yao Dang" felt rather inappropriate.

"My grandson is inherently mischievous; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sneaked out... If he has caused any offense, I hope Miss Zhao will not hold it against him." Xu Xing consoled Zhao Xian.

"I dare not blame Senior..." Zhao Xian replied hurriedly, startled.

"The remuneration is in the Storage Bag; Yao Dang will give it to you then."

After saying this, Xu Xing nodded slightly, as if approving of Zhao Xian’s attitude. Then, with a flash step, he departed from the Embroidered Clothes Pavilion.

「... ...」

「Leaving Xuan Turtle City.」

A few days later, Xu Xing returned to Crane Mountain Marketplace in North Yue Country, showing himself before Kang Han and his companion, thus dispelling their concerns.

However, immediately afterward, Xu Xing used a Teleportation Array to leave Crane Mountain Marketplace, arrived at Small Ring Mountain, and then used the Cross-State Teleportation Array to head towards East Huangzhou.

「On Huge Mastiff Island.」

Xu Xing soon found out that in the year or so since Song Knife’s death, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace had remained silent and had not issued a warrant for his arrest.

"More than a hundred years have passed since my Master died. For self-preservation, I buried the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal here..."

"Now that the Flying Feather Immortal Palace isn’t pursuing me, it’s time to unseal this Purple Ribbon Gold Seal and let it see the light of day once more."

Xu Xing arrived at the location where the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal token was hidden—a mortal island named Cold Smoke Island. This island was situated in the Sea Area bordering the Mingquan Sect and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Golden Blood enveloping the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal was instantly drawn back into his Pill Bottle.

"Unseal!"

Xu Xing removed the Prohibition on the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal, revealing the Positioning Array within it.

He was not sure if the Flying Feather Immortal Palace harbored any ill intentions towards him. However, if they did, since this place was located at the juncture of the two sects, he could immediately escape to the Mingquan Sect’s territory, thereby evading any action from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace.

Presently, the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal trembled slightly.

A three-inch-tall Elder in Black Robe emerged from it. His hair was streaked with black and white, a Crane Hairpin adorned his topknot, and he possessed an air of refined detachment.

"Xu Xing, you’ve finally decided to open this Purple Ribbon Gold Seal." The Elder in Black Robe stepped out of the Gold Seal, his form expanding to normal human size, appearing as if forged from light and shadow.

"Your growth has surpassed my imagination..." He looked at Xu Xing, who stood before him with a guarded expression, a faint smile touching his lips as he spoke softly.

"Who might you be, Senior?" Xu Xing frowned, his hand, concealed within his sleeve, produced the last two Giant Sword Talisman Treasures, ready to fight at any moment.

He had studied the array techniques and Prohibitions of the Purple Ribbon Gold Seal; it definitely lacked the ability to transport even a portion of a cultivator’s ’fission soul’. In other words, this Elder in Black Robe could only have reached him through his own Divine Power and spells. The formidability of this person... It absolutely surpassed that of any powerful enemy he had ever encountered.

"This humble one... is Chi Yuan." The Elder in Black Robe paused for a moment before stating his name.

As his words fell, he seemed to perceive Xu Xing’s alarm and shook his head, adding, "Rest assured, Old Man has no ill intentions towards you, Younger Generation. After all, you are a disciple of Our Sect; consider yourself one of my grand-disciples."

Hearing this, Xu Xing nodded and continued to retreat another two hundred paces.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Even if Chi Yuan spoke the truth at this moment, he dared not recklessly believe it. Retreating at this time served two purposes: first, to probe Chi Yuan’s intentions, and second, to ensure a timely escape should the unexpected occur...

"Grandmaster Chi, why have you sought me out?" After retreating five hundred paces and seeing Chi Yuan had no intention of pursuing, Xu Xing paused, offered Chi Yuan a bow, and then inquired.

"Manifesting my form from your Purple Ribbon Gold Seal is a spell called the Mirror Light Technique; it cannot be used for actual combat," Chi Yuan shook his head, saying this first.

Then, he got straight to the point, his voice solemn, "Xu Xing, do you know why I chose to transition from the Master and Disciple Lineage to the Family Line?"

"For descendants? For the evolution of the Sixth Hall of the Outer Five Halls?"

"Neither."

With each statement, Xu Xing’s impression of Chi Yuan began to change. A Nascent Soul Saint Monarch wouldn’t need to make excuses for himself over such trivial matters.

"Your Master must have told you that seven thousand years ago, the Master and Disciple Lineage had three Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs, while the Family Line had only two... Yet, in a mere two thousand years, the Sect lost three Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs..." Chi Yuan sighed softly. The Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, with a lifespan of only five thousand years, never witnessed the Flying Feather Immortal Palace’s glorious era. But he, Chi Yuan, had experienced it firsthand.

"This..." Xu Xing was also stunned upon hearing this.

For esteemed Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs to fall one after another within two thousand years, there must be an unfathomable secret. He had suspected as much when listening to the Giant Sword Daoist Monarch recount these events. However, he didn’t believe he was qualified to learn such a profound secret. After all, even his Master wasn’t qualified to know.

Sure enough, Chi Yuan did not reveal this secret to Xu Xing. Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Due to this, the Sect was forced to change. My entering the Family Line was to accord with the turn of destiny and preserve the Sect’s entire heritage."
