Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 695 - 353, Cross-realm transmission, finally arrived at the upper realm_2

In my Fate Deduction, the other end of the Ascension Platform shouldn't have looked like this...

It seems there was an error in this transmission?

Before I fainted, did a great force push me from behind? Is that what made me unconscious?

Xu Xing furrowed his brows.

In his numerous Fate Deductions, including the most recent one for the Destiny of the Nascent Soul Realm, there had been no errors in ascending to the Chiming World. Yet, this time, his ascension had gone awry.

Was it Elder Stone Monkey?

Was it related to the True Demons in the Tianyi Sect Secret Realm?

Or was it... someone else?

Xu Xing pondered.

After all, a Fate Deduction using the Bronze Ancient Mirror was just that—a deduction. Once it manifested in reality, deviations could occur.

The cultivators in this transmission, especially, were all extraordinary—top cultivators from the Lower Realm.

Accidents were quite common.

Consider Elder Stone Monkey, for example. If he had truly explored the Tianyi Sect Secret Realm and been influenced by the True Demon Body... then his ascension this time would not have been a self-inflicted trap, leading him straight into the hands of Chiming Imperial Dynasty cultivators to die.

Enough of that for now. First, I need to find out where this place is. Xu Xing flicked his sleeve robe, performed a concealment technique, and then scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense.

However, to Xu Xing's surprise, his Divine Sense penetrated this Great Hall and several nearby halls without finding any trace of a cultivator's aura.

Could it be... I've accidentally entered a treasure land within a Secret Realm?

Xu Xing secretly guessed.

Only a Secret Realm would be devoid of people or resident cultivators.

The pill furnaces in this Pill Hall operated and were maintained by array techniques and Puppets, not cultivators.

Next, Xu Xing abandoned his Divine Sense and began to carefully search the remaining halls of the Cave Mansion with his naked eyes.

Sometimes, Divine Sense could deceive cultivators.

As an array master, Xu Xing knew that some Sect Protecting Great Formations could deceive a cultivator's Divine Sense.

Divine Sense might not detect anyone, but the naked eye could.

One quarter of an hour later, Xu Xing shook his head, confirming no one was in this Cave Mansion. He also confirmed that this Cave Mansion existed within some kind of barrier array technique, hidden in a special space. Leaving would be difficult without breaking the Cave Mansion's array.

All signs indicate this is a Secret Realm.

It seems I have indeed stumbled into some Secret Realm...

Still, I'm lucky to have entered this Secret Realm rather than some dangerous place...

This can be considered a blessing of Immortal Luck.

A smile touched Xu Xing's lips as his gaze fell upon the Three-Legged Pill Cauldron.

This Pill Cauldron had intricate Prohibitions and was made of extraordinary Spirit Material; it was at least a fifth-grade Taoist Treasure he could use.

Moreover, Pills refined by a Fifth-Grade Pill Furnace would surely be precious treasures!

At this thought, Xu Xing activated his Innate Immortal Qi Shield, instantly appeared beside the Three-Legged Pill Cauldron, and simultaneously probed inside with his Divine Sense.

However, what he saw made Xu Xing freeze.

Inside the Fifth-Grade Pill Furnace, there wasn't the precious Pill he had anticipated. Instead, there was a young woman.

The woman floated within the Pill Cauldron, wearing a Golden Face Mask. She wore a Light Yellow Straight Collar Buttoned One-Piece Dress, with a Mud Gold Soft Satin Tube Top over it.

Her three thousand strands of black hair were not tied up but cascaded over her chest.

A wound on her left abdomen bled continuously.

Sensing Xu Xing's Divine Sense, the Woman with a Golden Mask frowned slightly. Her closed Double Pupils trembled as if about to open.

It seems this isn't a Secret Realm, but a place where this person is healing...

A hint of alertness flashed in Xu Xing's eyes.

A cultivator capable of recuperating on such a grand scale was definitely no ordinary person; her Cultivation was likely even higher than his.

Although the woman hadn't moved, it didn't mean she lacked the power to counterattack.

"I, Xu, accidentally entered this place due to an issue with the Teleportation Array. I was unaware this was a place where a fellow Daoist was recuperating. Please forgive my intrusion, fellow Daoist," Xu Xing cupped his fists in salute and said.

After speaking, contrary to what the Woman with a Golden Mask might have imagined, Xu Xing didn't continue to probe. Instead, he uncharacteristically launched a ruthless attack, summoning a magical sword and thrusting it straight at her.

What a vicious heart...

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, the Woman with a Golden Mask could no longer feign unconsciousness. Her Double Pupils snapped open, glaring wide with anger, as she casually summoned a flower basket-shaped Artifact to intercept the magical sword.

She would never have imagined that Xu Xing, who had the appearance of a Scholar, could act so ruthlessly and without any regard for propriety.

However, to the disappointment of the Woman with a Golden Mask, her summoned flower basket only withstood Xu Xing's magical sword for a few exchanges before being overcome.

"An Immortal Sword?"

"No, it's a Half-Immortal Artifact!"

The Woman with a Golden Mask was aghast, her face paling.

But before she could risk worsening her injuries to charge out of the Pill Cauldron, the magical sword Xu Xing had summoned had already passed through the Pill Cauldron's wall and lay against her neck.

"A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall," Xu Xing said, a cold glint in his eyes. "I was discourteous. Please do not take offense, fellow Daoist."

This time, he had indeed been discourteous first, and then had brazenly attacked the Woman with a Golden Mask.

But in the Cultivation World, this was the prudent course of action.

Regardless, Xu Xing would never entrust his life to an enemy's mercy.

"Xu Daoist?" The Woman with a Golden Mask harrumphed coldly, her eyes tinged with displeasure. "Xu Daoist, you trespassed into my Cave Mansion and now you're threatening me with a weapon. This is hardly reasonable, is it? Leave my Cave Mansion, and we shall consider today's matter settled."

She spoke firmly.

Hearing this, Xu Xing's eyes flickered, but he didn't reply.

He was no greenhorn new to the Cultivation World.

He wouldn't easily lower the sword in his hand based merely on a few words from the Female Cultivator.

Seeing Xu Xing's unyielding stance, the Woman with a Golden Mask frowned slightly. "Xu Daoist," she said, "Concubine is willing to make a solemn oath not to pursue the matter of your trespass into my Cave Mansion today. We've had our clash; perhaps now we can sit and talk? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Please make your Dao Oath, fellow Daoist," Xu Xing replied.

Hearing this, Xu Xing nodded, accepting her proposal.

"Concubine, Wen Renlan, hereby swears a Dao Oath: If I pursue any grievance against Xu Daoist for trespassing in my Cave Mansion today, may I suffer a terrible death and fall into the Endless Hell for eternity!"

After swearing the Dao Oath, Wen Renlan looked at Xu Xing. "Xu Daoist, the Dao Oath has been made. You can put away your magical sword now, can't you?"

"Not yet."

Xu Xing shook his head.

"A Dao Oath may bind cultivators, but for those who do not sincerely follow the Great Dao, such an oath is meaningless," Xu Xing said. "First, hand over your Storage Bag and relinquish control over the Prohibitions of this Pill Cauldron. After all this is done, I may let you live."

Wen Renlan's Cultivation was somewhat unfathomable, even to him. If he hadn't tricked Wen Renlan and relied on the might of the Tide Feather Sword in a full-powered strike, he wouldn't have subdued this Female Cultivator so easily.

The Tide Feather Sword was a Half-Immortal Artifact. Once a Nascent Soul Cultivator was injured by its Sword Qi, recovery would be difficult in a short time, even with Longevity Immortal Energy.

"This..." Wen Renlan gazed deeply at Xu Xing, then gave a slight nod of her Qiufu.

If Xu Xing had killed her, he could still have obtained her Storage Bag and this Fifth-Grade Pill Furnace. There would have been no need to deceive her like this.

"Concubine will trust you this one time," Wen Renlan said.

With that said, Wen Renlan didn't hesitate. She immediately removed the Storage Bag from her waist and relinquished her control over the Pill Cauldron's Prohibitions.

"Thank you for your understanding, Immortal Wen."

Xu Xing smiled faintly. With a wave of his sleeve robe, he took Wen Renlan's Storage Bag. Then, his Divine Sense entered the Pill Cauldron, and he began refining this Fifth-Grade Pill Furnace.

Next, Xu Xing kept his word and withdrew the Tide Feather Sword.

Wen Renlan walked out of the Pill Cauldron and casually struck up a conversation with Xu Xing, showing no sign of enmity. "Xu Daoist, you mentioned earlier that an issue with a Teleportation Array caused you to end up here. May I ask what sort of issue it was?"

"'A Cross-State Teleportation Array!'" Xu Xing's eyes flickered as he told Wen Renlan a half-true, half-false account of his origins. "'I... ascended from the Lower Realm.'"

Although this ascension had met with a mishap, he was certain he had now arrived in the Chiming World.

In the Lower Realm, the Nascent Soul Stage was the apex. This wasn't because cultivators from the Lower Realm were less talented than those in the Chiming World. Rather, the environment of the Lower Realm itself did not permit the existence of cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage. Heaven and earth acted as Shackles for Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Here, however, Xu Xing no longer felt those Shackles from heaven and earth. The speed at which his Nascent Soul was transforming into a Primordial Spirit had also increased severalfold.
