Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 625 - 319. The impact of the butterfly effect_2

「The next day.」

Caiyun Fairy also came to the Tiande Pawnshop to renew her lease. Unlike Han Tong, Caiyun Fairy voluntarily increased the price, renewing the lease for her shop for one hundred years at the market price.

"My entanglements with Elder Chang have been settled. From now on, I will keep these matters to myself and never mention them to others again," Caiyun Fairy said.

"May your Immortal Path be evergreen," Xu Xing nodded without saying much and bowed to Caiyun Fairy.

「A few days later.」

Cultivator Ye Yan from Qianhuo Sect visited and returned the Spirit pact to Xu Xing, choosing not to renew the lease for his shop in Five Mountain Market. Xu Xing gladly agreed to this and did not ask Ye Yan to continue renting.

Lingyin Gate's business was crafting artifacts, mainly serving Nascent Soul cultivators. They also occasionally accepted commissions from Dao Pill cultivators, though not many. Renewing for fifty years had been just the right amount of time.

Caiyun Fairy's secret medicine had the greatest effect on those in the Dao Pill Realm, so she had chosen to renew her lease for one hundred years.

As for Ye Yan of Qianhuo Sect, his shop was a pharmacy for treating cultivators' injuries. In recent years, with the ongoing development of the Louhai Secret Realm, cultivators being injured had become increasingly rare. The pharmacy's business was declining, so it was understandable that Ye Yan would terminate the lease.

「Several more years passed.」

With the dwindling number of cultivators entering the Louhai Secret Realm, Xu Xing purchased a Green Gold Token through the Black Market, intending to take advantage of this period to enter the Louhai Secret Realm.

The cultivators on Demon Island paid close attention to Xu Xing, especially those from Tianyi Sect. Over the past 100 years, Li Taiyue had mastered more and more Divine Techniques, but his cultivation had remained stuck at the late stage of Nascent Soul, unable to progress. It is difficult for a Nascent Soul Later Stage cultivator to become a Nascent Soul Grand Practitioner; it was not uncommon for cultivators to be stuck in this realm for a thousand years. However, the high-level members of Tianyi Sect believed Li Taiyue's stagnation was related to Xu Xing, so they kept a close watch on him, waiting for Xu Xing to leave the Market.

Li Taiyue is not to be feared; what's truly worth worrying about are the Yao Saints on Demon Island and the Sage Monarchs of the Human Clan... Xu Xing mused. I have a bit of a reputation. If I enter the Louhai Secret Realm, I will inevitably attract the attention of these Yao Saints and Sage Monarchs...

He planned to release a few smokescreens first to confuse them. Even if it was useless, it was still better than doing nothing.

After a simple disguise, Xu Xing stepped into the Louhai Secret Realm. What greeted him was a vast sea area dotted with a few scattered islands. Similar to most secret realms, the Louhai Secret Realm was like a minor Grotto-Heaven, isolated from the outside world, forming a small world of its own.

Xu Xing's Divine Sense swept the nearby sea area, finding that the places within his sight were devastated, a complete mess! The Spiritual Ore on the seabed had been mined clean. The demonic beasts on the islands had been slaughtered, leaving only a few mortal beasts.

However, after a few initial glances, he crushed the token and left the secret realm.

It wasn't until his third entry that Xu Xing truly began exploring the Louhai Secret Realm. He didn't linger and went straight to his destination.

That must be the Broken Dragon Platform, Xu Xing thought as he dived into the seabed, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the blood-red platform base before him.

This blood-red platform base stretched endlessly, seemingly connected to a mysterious dimension. On its surface, scenes of the Dragon Palace from the past continuously replayed. The images showed a magnificent palace that seemed to be made of crystal. Inside the hall, shrimp soldiers and crab generals stood on either side, while clam and shell girls danced gracefully. Seated on the high seat of the palace was a young man in scholarly attire with handsome features and clear eyes, a silver sword hanging from his waist.

"It's my third cousin!" At this moment, Ao Yuniang, from within Xu Xing's sleeve, transmitted to him excitedly via Divine Sense.

The Dragon Clan's Pride of Heaven who joined the Reincarnation Fairy Gate... Xu Xing was slightly surprised. He told Ao Yuniang to remain calm as he observed the young man in scholarly attire in the image, wondering what was unusual about this Dragon Clan's Pride of Heaven.

A moment later, as the clam and shell girls finished their dance, the young man in scholarly attire transformed into an ancient white flood dragon, its body stretching over a thousand feet, and burst out of the Crystal Palace. When the white flood dragon reached the sky, a golden-armored divine figure reached out and seized its body. Following that, a shirtless man with a red scarf, wielding a large knife, slashed directly at the white flood dragon's head.

As the knife rose and fell, the white flood dragon let out a mournful cry. Its head fell from its body, smashing onto the white jade platform. The blood gushing from the dragon's head dyed the platform red, turning it into a field of blood.

Terrifying! Upon seeing this, Xu Xing was startled, feeling as if his own head had been cut off along with the white flood dragon. He quickly bit his tongue to regain clarity and took a few steps back.

I almost walked onto the Broken Dragon Platform, Xu Xing looked ahead and saw that he was only a few steps away from the Broken Dragon Platform, feeling a lingering fear. It was only then that he realized why the Dragon Ancestor's Shed Skin in the Louhai Secret Realm could not be taken, even by a Yao Saint; they could only watch as the treasure remained there.

There was no other reason. Just one word: difficult.

He had confronted Chi Yuan before and knew the limits of the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch. The Divine Sense attack from the Broken Dragon Platform before him was at least at the Late Stage of the Primordial Spirit, if not higher. If it weren't for his Golden Crow Immortal Body, which naturally restrained evil, he likely wouldn't have been able to escape the "curse" of the Broken Dragon Platform.

No wonder Elder Jiu Ling risked entering this place. At that time, he probably couldn't control himself... Xu Xing shook his head.

"Since the Yao Saints want the Dragon Ancestor's Shed Skin, what does it have to do with this Broken Dragon Platform?" he asked Ao Yuniang.

In the Louhai Secret Realm, only this perilous location remained unexplored by cultivators. Other "pseudo-perilous locations" had been entered by cultivators who had risked danger and obtained treasures.

"The Reincarnation Gate!" Ao Yuniang pondered for a moment and said, "The Reincarnation Gate of the Ten Immortal Sects allows cultivators to die and be reborn, to revive from death."

"This Concubine speculates that after my Third Cousin was beheaded by the Longevity Immortal Dynasty, he used the Reincarnation Gate's cultivation method to live one more life and departed."

"This Broken Dragon Platform illusion is caused by my Third Cousin's shed skin," she said slowly.

The Reincarnation Gate's cultivation method... Xu Xing's brow furrowed. Ao Yuniang meant that the Third Prince Xiaohai had used the dragon head as a vessel and then, by borrowing the Reincarnation Gate's cultivation method, had lived one more life. Therefore, what remained on the Broken Dragon Platform was the shed skin left behind by the Third Prince Xiaohai—the remaining dragon head.

Wait, you said the Third Prince Xiaohai was beheaded by someone from the Longevity Immortal Dynasty? Xu Xing thought. If the shed skin left by the Third Prince Xiaohai rendered even the Yao Saints helpless, how terrifying must the Longevity Immortal Dynasty cultivator who killed him have been?

Xu Xing looked up at the sky, seemingly seeing the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Chiming Imperial Dynasty.

Longevity Immortal Dynasty, Chiming Imperial Dynasty... He intuitively felt that these two great Powers belonged to the same faction. Shallow waters cannot nurture a True Dragon. How could a single Purple Yin Realm possibly give rise to two such terrifying Powers?

"The Longevity Immortal Dynasty has had contact with true immortals..." After Ao Yuniang finished speaking, she fell silent, saying no more.

A moment later, Xu Xing recalled what the White Marsh Demon King had said at the Nine Kingdoms Exchange Meeting. Then, the so-called Ascension Secret of the Dragon Ancestor's Shed Skin... The so-called Ascension Secret is either that the aura of the Reincarnation Gate's cultivation method confused the Yao Saints, or this 'Ascension' is a means to travel to the Upper Boundary Realm... If the Third Prince Xiaohai lived one more life, then he must have gone to the Upper Boundary Realm, he speculated. If Ao Yuniang's remnant soul could survive, the far more powerful Third Prince Xiaohai could not have died so easily.

After witnessing all this, Xu Xing shook his head. No longer lingering, he waved his wide sleeve, left the vicinity of the Broken Dragon Platform, and headed for the sea surface.

However, at that moment, he saw an extremely familiar human-shaped shadow rapidly approaching him.

Truly unlucky, Xu Xing cursed his bad luck inwardly, crushed the Green Gold Token in his sleeve, stepped into the Rune passage, and disappeared.

Half a beat later, the human-shaped shadow arrived where Xu Xing had been.

He escaped again! This Chang Kun is really as timid as a mouse... Li Taiyue frowned deeply. He had received intelligence that Xu Xing was hiding his identity and had come to the Louhai Secret Realm, so he had pursued him into the realm, wanting to confront Xu Xing. Unexpectedly, Xu Xing hadn't even shown any intention of meeting him and had directly crushed the token to leave.

After this scare, Chang Kun probably won't come back to the Louhai Secret Realm, Li Taiyue mused. Forget it. I'll head back to Tianyi Sect for now. I'll settle the score with him at the Immeasurable Sect in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Li Taiyue made his decision.
