Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 569 - 292, Goodbye Yan Luanqing, 40-year Marriage Engagement

「Half an hour later.」

Xu Xing flew on a cloud with Kang Han and Helan Lianjiang to the Immeasurable Sect.

As the three arrived at the mountain gate of the Immeasurable Sect, Sect Master Gu Chengbin had already led a group of House Elders far out from the gate to welcome them.

"To think that after parting from Uncle Chang... by the time we meet again, Uncle Chang has already reached the Nascent Soul stage." Gu Chengbin held his horsetail whisk, his expression complex.

To seclude himself for forty years, advancing from the middle stage of the Dao Pill Realm to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm... such a thing is truly astonishing. Does ’Chang Kun’ take me for a naive three-year-old child? He must be a deeply hidden old monster! If it weren’t for the fact that the Immeasurable Sect was merely a small sect and couldn’t afford to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator... today, he wouldn’t have shown Xu Xing any courtesy.

"Sect Nephew Gu, you are too polite." Xu Xing saw the suspicion in Gu Chengbin’s eyes but paid it no mind. With a faint smile, he attributed his success to the Immeasurable Sect. "My breakthrough this time was merely fortunate. If not for the Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects provided by the Sect, I also wouldn’t know when I might have broken through..."

"Oh, so that’s how it is..." Gu Chengbin’s gaze flickered. "However, for Uncle Chang to break through so many realm shackles in just forty years truly makes this nephew envious," he probed.

With Golden Rainbow Ancestor and Ze Sheng Ancestor, two Nascent Soul Sage Monarchs, as his backing, he dared to utter such slightly offensive words. Moreover, since Xu Xing had returned to the Immeasurable Sect as a Dao Lord, he surely had some request of the Sect. With this leverage, he wasn’t overly apprehensive of Xu Xing.

"Martial Nephew Gu, have you ever heard of Immortal Bodies?" Seeing Gu Chengbin’s intent to get to the bottom of the matter, Xu Xing remained unperturbed, having already prepared for this.

With his cultivation realm, it would have been acceptable for Xu Xing not to explain the reason to Gu Chengbin. However, doing so would inevitably cause the Immeasurable Sect to harbor resentment against him. Gu Chengbin, the Sect Master of the Immeasurable Sect, represented Golden Rainbow Ancestor and Ze Sheng Ancestor, the two Nascent Soul Daoist Lords of the sect.

Xu Xing sighed, looked at Gu Chengbin, and sent a spiritual sense transmission: "To be frank, I possess the legendary Golden Crow Immortal Body. For others, breaking through realms in these forty years might be extremely difficult, but for cultivators with an Immortal Body, it is quite normal."

Cultivators with Immortal Bodies existed not only in East Huangzhou but also in Nanyan Continent. However, Nanyan Continent’s Luck seemed inferior to East Huangzhou’s, and the number of cultivators with Immortal Bodies there could be counted on one hand.

Gu Chengbin was shocked. "Immortal Body? Golden Crow Immortal Body?"

As the Sect Master of the Immeasurable Sect, although his cultivation wasn’t the absolute peak within the sect, his knowledge was certainly not inferior to the two Nascent Soul Ancestors. Every cultivator with an Immortal Body was a legendary Demoted Immortal Being, possessing the aptitude to achieve immortality. Otherwise, they wouldn’t bear the title ’Immortal Body’.

If Xu Xing truly possessed the Golden Crow Immortal Body, then breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in a mere forty years wouldn’t seem so fantastical. Even if the ’forty years’ claim was an exaggeration, at the very least, Xu Xing was definitely not some old monster with malicious intentions towards the Immeasurable Sect.

Now, Gu Chengbin finally understood why Xu Xing had been somewhat secretive. Each Immortal Body was immeasurably precious. Exposing one would not only incite covetousness from other sects but also cause cultivators within their own sect to yearn for it intensely. Moreover, Xu Xing’s original status was not that of an Immeasurable Sect disciple but a Freelance Cultivator. It was natural for him to be wary of the Sect before reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Could it be... Golden Rainbow Martial Uncle discovered Chang Kun’s physique, and that’s why she wanted to become Dao Spouses with him? After all, the Golden Crow Immortal Body is supremely masculine and Yang, and its benefits to female cultivators are self-evident... Gu Chengbin mused silently.

However, now was not the time to unravel the full story. After a moment’s thought, he composed himself, offered an apology, and invited Xu Xing into the Immeasurable Sect’s mountain gate.

"Uncle Chang, please follow this junior to the back mountain. The two Ancestors have also been waiting for a long time."

When they reached Lingxin Pavilion, Gu Chengbin dismissed the accompanying House Elders. Then, he led Xu Xing to the back mountain of the Immeasurable Sect, the location of the Sect’s Blessed Land.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ze Sheng and Senior Sister Golden Rainbow," Xu Xing said, taking the initiative after glancing at Ze Sheng Ancestor and Golden Rainbow Ancestor in the hall upon entering the Blessed Land.

Golden Rainbow Ancestor, Yan Luanqing, appeared just as she had forty years ago, her skin still like snow, breathtakingly beautiful. In contrast, Ze Sheng Ancestor, whom Xu Xing had never met and who had been in seclusion in the Blessed Land, looked ancient and decrepit, suffused with an air of decay.

Ze Sheng Ancestor’s impending passing is different from that of my Master, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, and Martial Uncle Ye Hualian of the Nanhua Sect. It must be due to his continuous consumption of life-extending Spiritual Objects... Xu Xing thought to himself.

The time of a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord’s passing was not fixed; it could vary by ten or twenty years earlier or later. The later they passed, the more the aura of decay accumulated within their bodies. This aura of decay was exceedingly tormenting for Dao Lords. It would gradually obliterate the Dao Principles within their bodies, erode their Divine Soul, wisdom, and the vital essence of their flesh, ultimately leading to death. For this reason, most Daoist Lords did not cling to those extra ten or twenty years of life and would choose to pass on sooner to avoid future suffering.

However, it was clear the Immeasurable Sect lacked the profound foundations of sects like Flying Feather Immortal Palace or the Nanhua Sect. With only two Daoist Lords, they had to exhaust all means to postpone Ze Sheng Ancestor’s passing. Consequently, Ze Sheng Ancestor was now nearly overwhelmed by the aura of decay.

"The Sect Master just informed us by transmission that you, Junior Brother Chang, possess the Golden Crow Immortal Body, which explains why your cultivation has advanced so rapidly..." Seated cross-legged upon the Yuntai, Ze Sheng Ancestor’s double pupils slowly opened. He gazed at Xu Xing, who stood in the hall, and spoke with a hint of emotion in his voice.
