Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 647 - 330, Return to East Huangzhou_2

Dai Ji hid within, facing almost no danger to her life.

Xu Xing only discovered this latter point after his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Daoist Lord realm.

Otherwise, no matter how vast the Nanyan Continent and the Wangchuan Sea were, the Cross-State Teleportation Array concealed within them could not have withstood the carpet-like search of Primordial Spirit Saint Monarchs.

Bypassing the palace buildings on the upper level of Small Ring Mountain, Xu Xing activated a mechanism and headed straight for the Earth palace.

"Is that you, Husband?"

Sensing Xu Xing's arrival, Dai Ji, who was in secluded cultivation in the depths of the Earth palace, showed a hint of joy. She waved her sleeve, pushed open the stone door, and walked out, throwing herself into Xu Xing's arms.

"Nearly a hundred years have passed in the outside world. Husband, now that you've returned, does this mean... the turmoil in the Nanyan Continent's cultivation world has subsided?"

After a brief moment of intimacy, Dai Ji rose from Xu Xing's embrace, slightly adjusted her iridescent dress, and inquired.

Staying in this spirit-barren place for nearly a hundred years, although she could study Dao Principles and Divine Powers to pass the time, for a Pride of Heaven like her, wasting almost a century was too cruel.

Before a cultivator reached their "half-age" limit, while their progress couldn't be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, compared to after the "half-age" limit, their speed could definitely be called swift.

The younger a cultivator of the same realm, the faster their cultivation speed would be.

It should be noted that Dai Ji was only just over three hundred years old when she broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

To stay here for a hundred years with no progress in her cultivation was tantamount to torture for Dai Ji.

"Fifty or sixty years ago, the Emperor's Son Pavilion had already concluded its mission to cleanse the major Daoist Sects. However, the Nanyan Continent's cultivation world remained unstable during that time, so I didn't send word to you..." Xu Xing said, shaking his head after taking a seat in the Cave Mansion within the Earth palace.

It is easy to incite turmoil, but to quell it is not so simple.

In the years after the Emperor's Son Pavilion reined in its forces, incidents of Dao Lords being hunted and killed were numerous across the Nanyan Continent.

Rebuilding the order of the Nanyan Continent's cultivation world in a short time was no easy task.

Previously, although the Nanyan Continent's cultivation world was fundamentally ruled by the law of the jungle, indiscriminate killing was still taboo.

Everything required a just cause; otherwise, wanton slaughter would earn one the label of an evil or demon cultivator, leading to eradication by major powers.

But after the Emperor's Son Pavilion threw the Nanyan Continent into chaos, the so-called "evil cultivators" now acted without any restraint, and various atrocities constantly occurred.

"The order of the cultivation world has been shattered. Although my cultivation level is decent, if someone with ill intentions were to target me, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Dai Ji understood the implication of Xu Xing's words. She smiled faintly, showing no hint of dissatisfaction.

With a beaming smile, she nestled into Xu Xing's embrace like a kitten.

Although Xu Xing's actions... treated her somewhat like a caged canary.

But when she first attached herself to Xu Xing, a powerful figure, she had intended to become his concubine, or canary, in order to achieve immortality...

She was overjoyed by Xu Xing's concern for her safety.

"Once we return to East Huangzhou, I will properly compensate you for these hundred years of lost cultivation..."

Xu Xing leaned back in the rosewood chair, his hand sliding under Dai Ji's dress, caressing her skin, as smooth as milk.

In no time at all, Dai Ji's eyes grew seductive. Her breath, soft, moist, and fragrant as an orchid, brushed against Xu Xing's shoulder. Her delicate hands encircled his strong waist, and her Qiufu moved downwards along his legs...

"Not here."

Xu Xing immediately pressed down gently on Dai Ji's lowering head, shaking his own.

He was naturally willing to enjoy the pleasures of dual cultivation, but doing so here would be somewhat of a waste.

"Husband, do you find me distasteful? Or have you found new delights elsewhere?"

Dai Ji flicked her cloud sleeve and sat down on another rosewood chair, casting a mournful glance at Xu Xing, her words laced with discontent.

She was well aware of the ambiguous relationship between Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing.

And Caiyun Fairy at the Five Mountain Market.

"You're overthinking," Xu Xing shook his head and stated bluntly, "During the hundred years I was away, I encountered a fortuitous opportunity and have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, becoming a Sage Monarch."

"Did you forget what I just told you about compensating you when we return to East Huangzhou?"

As his words fell, Dai Ji immediately grasped his unspoken meaning. The grievance on her face vanished, replaced by pure delight.

Each time a cultivator broke through a major realm, it was akin to reforging their physical body, and the first essence produced at this time was exceptionally precious.

Moreover, a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch was close to an Immortal, their physical body already a Half Immortal physique; their first essence was even more potent.

This time, I might break through to the late stage of Nascent Soul... Dai Ji thought.

A single session of dual cultivation with Xu Xing after he reached the Nascent Soul Stage would be enough to compensate for her hundred years of delayed cultivation, and perhaps even surpass it.

"I will activate the Cross-State Teleportation Array now."

Dai Ji walked out of the Cave Mansion, took out a few Spirit Pearls, and, using her Magic Power, embedded them into the Cross-State Teleportation Array.

When Xu Xing was in the Nascent Soul Realm, he was already hailed by the cultivators of East Huangzhou as the foremost individual beneath the Nascent Soul Stage.

Now that Xu Xing had broken through the Nascent Soul Realm to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, becoming a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch, his combat prowess at the Nascent Soul Stage was even more profound than one could imagine.

Following the right person means that even someone with inferior aptitude can get a chance for even their chickens and dogs to ascend to the Heavens, Dai Ji mused as she activated the Teleportation Array. And my aptitude isn't low to begin with... She felt a surge of gratitude for her decision back then to become Xu Xing's concubine rather than defying him.

「In the next moment.」

The Cross-State Teleportation Array activated.

A pale yellow halo enveloped the area for several zhang around them.

"It seems the Cross-State Teleportation Array on Nameless Island hasn't been discovered by Chi Yuan or Flying Feather Immortal Palace..." Dai Ji laughed upon seeing this. She then added, "Of course, Husband, your decision not to return to East Huangzhou for these past two hundred years wasn't unfounded worry. Being cautious on the path of cultivation is better than being reckless."

"Not necessarily." Xu Xing shook his head after hearing Dai Ji's words. "Chi Yuan's nature is to view everyone as chess pieces. With his mindset, even if he had discovered this Cross-State Teleportation Array, he wouldn't deliberately destroy it."

Dai Ji was slightly surprised by his words, her heart filled with doubt. "The Flying Feather Immortal Palace fears you, Husband. If they destroyed this Cross-State Teleportation Array, you couldn't return to East Huangzhou. Wouldn't that be exactly what they want, eliminating their concerns about the Flying Feather Immortal Palace? For his own selfish reasons, to ruin the future of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace... how could Saint Lord Chi be so unwise?"

Since the Flying Feather Immortal Palace couldn't destroy Xu Xing's physical body, destroying the Cross-State Teleportation Array would achieve the same effect. Without Xu Xing, the Orthodox Butian Sect would be nothing but an empty shell, easily toppled. This line of reasoning was why she had been so certain that neither the Flying Feather Immortal Palace nor Chi Yuan had discovered the Cross-State Teleportation Array on Nameless Island.

"People are not always rational," Xu Xing said solemnly.

He had seen Dai Ji's concealment techniques before; they weren't as good as his own. If Chi Yuan could intercept him at Tianyi Gorge, there was no reason he couldn't find traces of Dai Ji. The only explanation for the Teleportation Array remaining intact at this moment was that Chi Yuan had lacked 'rationality'.

"Let's go to the other end of the Teleportation Array first."

"Once we're in East Huangzhou, everything will become clear."

Xu Xing took a step forward, wrapped his arm around Dai Ji's slender waist, and stepped into the Cross-State Teleportation Array.

「A moment later.」

A pale yellow light enveloped Xu Xing and Dai Ji.

After a brief wave of dizziness, Xu Xing found himself in the Nameless Island Underground Palace, the other end of the Cross-State Teleportation Array.

As expected... Chi Yuan discovered this place.

Xu Xing's brow furrowed slightly. He raised the Innate Immortal Qi Shield and looked coldly at Zhongtai Dao Monarch, who was seated cross-legged in the Earth palace.

"It has been over two hundred years."

"Master Xu, I trust you have been well..."

Sensing the activation of the Teleportation Array, Zhongtai Dao Monarch slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xu Xing and Dai Ji, and sighed.

"Where is Chi Yuan?" Xu Xing ignored Zhongtai Dao Monarch's pleasantries and asked coldly.

"Uncle Chi knows that Master Xu is a cautious person, meticulous in every detail..." Zhongtai Dao Monarch shook his head with a smile, his tone relaxed, not at all like someone facing a formidable enemy. "If Uncle Chi were here today, even if he intended to negotiate, Master Xu would not easily trust him. But I am different. I was already defeated by Master Xu in a sword duel back at the Nanhua Sect."
