Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 651 - 332、Zhongtai Dao Monarch’s Submission, Ascending to Red Dust Pavilion Again_2

Zhongtai Dao Lord remained silent for a few breaths. He then cupped his hands in a salute to Xu Xing, acknowledging Xu Xing's meaning. The Cross-State Teleportation Array was destroyed... Arguing with Xu Xing about this would be meaningless; it's better to comply with his words.

"Please, Daoist friend Zhongtai, go to the Butian Sect first and inform them that I will be returning to the sect soon. This will help ease the hearts of the sect members."

"My return to East Huangzhou is for other important matters, so I will delay returning to the sect for now."

Seeing Dao Lord Zhongtai "submit," Xu Xing nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face, and then instructed him.

He had not returned to East Huangzhou and the Butian Sect for over two hundred years and had no idea what the sect had become in that time.

At this time, having Dao Lord Zhongtai return to the Butian Sect first offered two advantages. First, he could use Dao Lord Zhongtai to awe the members of the Butian Sect. After all, Dao Lord Zhongtai had previously belonged to the Flying Feather Immortal Palace and was also the Acting Sect Leader, a position of considerable status. With Dao Lord Zhongtai backing him, his own strength and prestige would naturally be unquestionable. Second, Dao Lord Zhongtai could act as a "catfish" to stir things up within the Butian Sect, allowing Xu Xing to observe internal changes from the shadows and formulate appropriate countermeasures.

Governing a large sect solely through personal strength is not a sustainable long-term strategy.

"I shall follow the Sect Leader's Order."

Dao Lord Zhongtai accepted the Sect Leader's Order and the Shadow Capturing Talisman from Xu Xing. He nodded, transformed into an Escaping Light, and vanished.

「Nameless Island.」

「Inside the Earth Palace.」

After Dao Lord Zhongtai departed, Dai Ji looked at the shattered Cross-State Teleportation Array, her heart aching with distress.

"Husband, Concubine has not yet managed to retrieve all the power and resources I accumulated in Nanyan Continent. It's such a waste to destroy this..." Dai Ji said, pursing her lips. Based on her understanding, she knew Xu Xing had to destroy the Cross-State Teleportation Array. However, knowing it was one thing; accepting it was another entirely.

"We will discuss this later," Xu Xing said, shaking his head. "East Huangzhou is more than ten times as prosperous as Nanyan Continent." He flicked his sleeve robe and flew towards East Huangzhou.

Dai Ji, seeing this, quickly followed, not bringing up the previous topic again.

A short while later, Chi Yuan's light projection descended into the Earth Palace once more. Upon seeing the shattered Teleportation Array, his brow furrowed in displeasure.

Nanyan Continent... Dai Ji just mentioned Nanyan Continent... Was she being deliberate, or was it a slip of the tongue? Chi Yuan mused.

He knew about the Chiming World's hunt for the Sage Monarch of East Huangzhou, which was why he had been contemplating a path to Ascend by shattering the void. Finding another continent could potentially aid his Dao, which is one reason he hadn't destroyed the Cross-State Teleportation Array. He just hadn't expected Xu Xing to be so decisive, destroying the Cross-State Teleportation Array directly and leaving him no chance to enter Nanyan Continent at all.

When I have time, I'll have a chat with him. Chi Yuan's gaze was profound.

「After leaving Wangchuan Sea.」

Xu Xing did not immediately head for the Butian Sect in the North Wilderness. Instead, he and Dai Ji traveled to the central region of East Huangzhou, where the Red Dust Pavilion was located.

He knew that for Dao Lord Zhongtai to be effective within the Butian Sect, a day or two wouldn't suffice. Of course, his visit to the Red Dust Pavilion, a major sect, served another purpose as well. To maximize the effect of his first expenditure of Primordial Essence after his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, the assistance of Red Dust Pavilion's Cave Secret Realm was indispensable... This matter concerned Dai Ji's Dao, and Xu Xing wouldn't be negligent.

Furthermore, Xu Xing wished to consult the Nascent Soul Level cultivation techniques of the Red Dust Pavilion. He hoped to borrow their Immortal techniques to elevate his Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle to the higher Yin-Yang Principle.

「Two days later.」

Xu Xing and Dai Ji arrived in Qiming Kingdom, a territory under the Red Dust Pavilion's control. They descended from their cloud near the entrance to the Qiming Kingdom's Capital.

Dai Ji, formerly the star of the Red Dust Pavilion and renowned alongside Xu Xing as one of the "Twin Walls of East Huangzhou," immediately drew the attention of numerous Red Dust Pavilion cultivators upon her appearance.

"That male cultivator with Dai Ji... could he be Butian Sect Master Xu Xing?"

"I heard Dai Ji was abducted by Sect Master Xu over two hundred years ago and never returned. But looking at her now, she doesn't seem like she was abducted at all..."

"Sect Master Xu is so powerful, and a Pride of Heaven himself! If it were me, I'd be willing to be 'abducted' by him too..."

On the main thoroughfare and in the pavilions, the Red Dust Pavilion Female Cultivators buzzed with discussion, their gazes filled with envy as they watched Xu Xing and Dai Ji.

Aligning with the powerful was a common practice for the women of the Red Dust Pavilion. Through this, the sect had built an extensive network of connections, establishing itself as one of the foremost Higher Teachings in East Huangzhou.

"We respectfully invite Sect Master Xu to be a guest at our sect..."

Just as Xu Xing had anticipated, less than one quarter of an hour after his arrival in Qiming Kingdom's Capital, a Red Dust Pavilion cultivator approached to welcome him.

"Please lead the way, Immortal," Xu Xing said with a slight smile, glancing at the bun-haired Female Cultivator before him.

A moment later, the bun-haired Female Cultivator led him and Dai Ji to the Qiming Kingdom's Imperial Palace, where they were seated in a Side Hall.

"Sect Master Xu, you've been missing for over two hundred years! Concubine thought you had been killed by the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. I never imagined that after all this time, not only are you unharmed, but your cultivation has actually advanced further..."

Before long, a middle-aged Female Cultivator, cinched at the waist and dressed in a purple satin gown, glided into the Side Hall. She approached Xu Xing with a warm smile.

This purple-gowned woman was Lady Han, the Third Elder of the Red Dust Pavilion, whom Xu Xing had met on his previous visit to Qiming Kingdom.

"Indeed, it has been many years since I last saw you, Lady Han. Seeing you again, Madam, you look as radiant as ever. It seems your Dao has progressed as well..." Xu Xing remarked casually, taking a sip of tea. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"May I ask what important matters bring Sect Master Xu and Dai Ji to our Qiming Kingdom today?"
