Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 641 - 327、Foreign Demon Attack_2

In the midst of the black qi, there was a monstrous black creature with a sheep-horned head and red pupils that floated up and down continuously.

"Please spare me, esteemed one. I will leave immediately and no longer interfere with your Tribulation Crossing..."

Upon seeing that its true form had been exposed, and with the Immortal Sword of Sun True Fire burning beside it, the Foreign Demon's expression changed, and it immediately pleaded with Xu Xing.

"When we Sky Demons interfere with Cultivators' Tribulation Crossings, it conforms to the laws of heaven... If you slaughter me, the next time you face a Tribulation Crossing, a Sky Demon King will surely trigger the Heart Devil Tribulation, destroying your Dao path..."

After begging for mercy, the Sky Demon changed its tone and uttered these threatening words.

"If I let you go, wouldn't all of Xu Mou's secrets be exposed to your Sky Demons?"

Xu Xing's eyes flashed with a cold light as he urged the Tide Feather Sword and Sun True Fire to encircle and kill this Foreign Demon.

The Foreign Demon interfered with his Divine Soul, taking the forms of Xu Zhang and Zhao Yunniang.

That was one thing. But if this Foreign Demon knew he possessed the Kunlun Mirror... Wouldn't it be a case of an innocent man being found guilty merely for possessing a treasure?

The Kunlun Mirror could traverse time and space, allowing him to practice Cultivation in various Worlds; it was an undeniable treasure. Even immortal gods would likely covet such a Treasure. Therefore, even at the risk of offending the Sky Demon clan, he had to kill this Foreign Demon that had peered into the secrets of his heart.

Shaoqing. Accompanied by mournful howls, the Foreign Demon was soon burned to death, leaving only a black crystal behind.

"This is..."

Xu Xing withdrew the Tide Feather Sword and Sun True Fire. He glanced at the black crystal left behind by the Foreign Demon's death, a puzzled look in his eyes. He did not touch the black crystal recklessly. Instead, he had the Yin Fire envelop it and then stored it within his eyes. His Double Pupils were the Wind Fire Divine Eye, which contained their own space, housing Innate Yin Fire and Innate Bi Feng.

"The Heart Devil Tribulation has passed."

"Next are the Little Three Calamities."

A smile appeared on Xu Xing's face. Of the many calamities involved in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit realm, the Little Three Calamities were what he feared the least. For the Lightning Tribulation, he had the Thunder Ruler given to him by the "Imperial Son." For the Yin Fire Tribulation and Bi Feng's Tribulation, he possessed the Wind Fire Divine Eye, an Innate divine eye that naturally controlled these two Heavenly Tribulations.

...

...

「Seven years later.」

As the last of the Lightning Tribulation dispersed, the hearts of the White Cloud Gate Cultivators leaped into their throats. Now that the Lightning Tribulation had passed, the cultivator in the Cave Mansion who had impersonated Lan Yang had overcome the most perilous stage. All that remained was to open the "Immortal World Bridge" to become a true Nascent Soul Saint Monarch.

"I hope this great cultivator is benevolent rather than malevolent..."

The Cultivators of the White Cloud Gate prayed silently.

In the history of Cangyun Continent, quite a few Freelance Cultivators had impersonated Sect disciples to borrow the Caves of Major Sects for their breakthroughs... However, more than seventy percent of these Freelance Cultivators perished in the Nascent Soul Tribulation, turning to ash. The Wealth they left behind, conversely, was obtained by the Sects, turning into a fortunate windfall. As for the remaining thirty percent of Freelance Cultivators, few followed the Demon way and rarely engaged in large-scale slaughter.

However, they feared the 'what if'—that one-in-a-million possibility. If a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator emerged, the White Cloud Gate, with its strength at This Moment, would be powerless to resist.

"Great Elder, have our Sect's Direct Disciples been evacuated to a safe location?"

The White Cloud Gate Sect Master transmitted her inquiry. Though her expression appeared calm, she was inwardly burning with anxiety.

"They have already been evacuated."

"I have also destroyed that portion of their memories," the Great Elder sighed softly and replied.

"If the calamity from four thousand years ago were to recur, you and I would be the sinners of the White Cloud Gate."

"The Daoist Sect cannot withstand another such upheaval."

A hint of sorrow flickered in the White Cloud Gate Sect Master's eyes. That year, she had been ranked a mere twenty-third among the Direct Disciples of the White Cloud Gate. But after that cataclysm in the Cultivation World, all her Senior Brothers had perished. Only she, the 'little junior sister,' had survived, becoming the sole remaining candidate to lead the Daoist Sect.

One day passed, then two. Several months vanished in what felt like an instant. For the Cultivators of White Cloud Gate, each day dragged on like a year as they awaited fate's final judgment. If the one in the Cave Mansion failed, the White Cloud Gate would inherit his legacy, and the Sect would gain an opportunity for revival. If he succeeded, the fate of the White Cloud Gate—its rise or fall—would be uncertain.

"The Immortal World Bridge is open! He... he succeeded! He has become a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch!"

Five years later, when the Cultivators of the White Cloud Gate saw a corner of the Cave's Heavenly Vault crack open and strands of pure white Immortal Qi descend, their hearts sank with disappointment.

"Prepare the array formation!"

The White Cloud Gate Sect Master stared intently at the Cave Mansion Stone Door, secretly instructing the Sect cultivators within.

「Two months later.」

The Cave's Heavenly Vault had returned to normal.

"The Sect Master of White Cloud Gate greets you, Senior. I beg your forgiveness for our Sect's failure to welcome you from afar..."

The White Cloud Gate Sect Master walked to the Cave Mansion Entrance, bowed deeply, and spoke with utmost respect. For a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to contend with someone at the Nascent Soul Stage, let alone defeat a Sage Monarch by transcending a major realm—such a feat was unprecedented in the annals of Cangyun Continent.

Fighting to the death... was merely the last resort.

"Xu Mou was compelled to borrow your esteemed School's Cave for my breakthrough this time. I hope your School will not take offense..."

The Stone Door of the Cave Mansion opened, and the youth in a green robe emerged. He surveyed his surroundings and then smiled.

"This is your School's Elder Lan Yang."

"Xu Mou did not kill him; I trust your esteemed School is aware of this..."

Xu Xing flicked his Sleeve robe. Instantly, a blue-haired young man appeared on the open ground, sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed. His aura was stable, though a vermilion Talisman was inscribed upon his forehead.

"Thank you, Senior, for holding back..."

"We are exceedingly grateful."

Seeing this, the White Cloud Gate Sect Master breathed a sigh of relief and once again offered her thanks.

"Xu Mou borrowed your precious land for my seclusion this time. This is some Remuneration."

"I hope the Sect Master will not find it wanting."

"Shall we consider all scores settled between us with this?"

Xu Xing pondered for a moment, then withdrew a Storage Bag from his Sleeve and tossed it over.

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare.

"We harbor no complaints whatsoever against you, Senior.

"For Senior Xu to borrow Our Sect's Cave to achieve a breakthrough in his Realm is, in fact, a stroke of fortune for Our Sect."

The White Cloud Gate Sect Master hurriedly shook her head, demurring.

She wasn't entirely dissembling with those words. When Nascent Soul Cultivators established an Immortal World Bridge, drawing Immortal Qi from the Immortal World to temper their bodies, the Cave used for their seclusion also received considerable benefits. This time, the White Cloud Gate Cave had been nourished by some of that Immortal Qi, and its foundational reserves had increased accordingly.

"Sect Master, why not examine the Remuneration first, and then we can discuss other matters," Xu Xing shook his head with a smile.

"Very well." The White Cloud Gate Sect Master nodded, retrieved the Storage Bag, and probed its contents with her Divine Sense. Shaoqing, her expression shifted several times before she gave Xu Xing a long, deep bow.

Inside the Storage Bag, apart from a complete fourth-stage Formation Method, were Xu Xing's written insights on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, as well as some Nascent Soul Realm Pills. Although the White Cloud Gate had once been a Nascent Soul Level Power in Cangyun Continent, its lineage of teachings had long since been broken after the great calamity. These insights from Xu Xing on breaking through realms were precisely the kind of treasure the White Cloud Gate desperately needed.

"Consider all scores settled."

"Xu Mou has imposed upon you. I shall take my leave now."

With a flick of his great sleeve, Xu Xing transformed into a streak of blue-red Escaping Light, breached the defenses of the White Cloud Gate Cave, and vanished from sight.

Fortunately... Fortunately, this Senior does not harbor evil intentions.

A complex look appeared in the White Cloud Gate Sect Master's eyes.

If I had known this earlier, I should have done my utmost to persuade Xu Xing to stay at the White Cloud Gate and serve as our Supreme Elder.

"Go and see how Blue Apprentice is doing," she composed her thoughts and gave the order.

"Sect Master, Blue Apprentice is unharmed, merely that his coma has lasted somewhat longer..." the Great Elder reported back after examining him.

...

...

After leaving the White Cloud Gate, Xu Xing did not linger in Cangyun Continent. Instead, he rejoined the Earth Dragon, returned to the vast ocean, and used a Dragon Lair to depart from the continent.

「Now.」

His Primordial Spirit successfully formed, it was time for him to return to Nanyan Continent and East Huangzhou.

I wonder if Senior Sister Yan managed to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage during her seclusion this time...

Within the Earth Dragon's belly, Xu Xing took out a Brocade Box from his Sleeve. He gazed at the light brown Pill inside, a complicated expression in his eyes. This brown Pill was none other than the Yuan Shen Pill he had obtained from the Emperor's Son Pavilion.

This Yuan Shen Pill, he surmised, might contain a hidden ploy by the Emperor's Son Pavilion. It is a harmful thing. I must be vigilant.

But if she doesn't take the Yuan Shen Pill, Senior Sister Yan will likely find it very difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime... The distinction between benefits and drawbacks is rarely absolute.

He shook his head, returned the Brocade Box to his Sleeve, and carefully put it away.
