Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 700 - 356, Huanglongzi

Three Refining Void Realm cultivators, if they were in the Lower Realms, could easily dominate an entire realm.

However, in the Chiming World, three such Refining Void Realm cultivators could only shrink back and remain confined to this one island, acting merely as Island Masters.

"Of course, this isn't because the Lower Realms and the Chiming World are vastly different, but rather because the Chiming World plundered the resources of the Lower Realms..."

"They not only plundered the resources of the Purple Yin Realm but also those of other subordinate realms."

Xu Xing narrowed his eyes.

Through his Fate Deduction, he had already uncovered some secrets of the Chiming World. He knew it didn't just have the Purple Yin Realm as a Lower Realm; other Lower Realms also existed.

"The Purple Yin Realm alone could not possibly sustain an Upper Realm like the Chiming World."

"We've arrived at Sea Monkey Island, Xu Daoist. Prepare to enter the island..."

Wen Renlan, noticing Xu Xing was lost in thought, couldn't help but remind him.

"Immortal Wen, please enter the island first. Xu Mou will follow shortly..."

"Since you already have a marriage engagement, if Xu Mou enters the island with you, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Then, should your fiancé come to resent me for it, Xu Mou would find it unbearable..."

Xu Xing said.

"Caution is paramount in all things."

"Here in the Chiming World, it's best to avoid trouble if at all possible."

"So cautious... It seems Xu Daoist is destined for a great future..."

Hearing this, Wen Renlan, as if seeing a Cultivator as prudent as Xu Xing for the very first time, covered her mouth with a chuckle and uttered these words.

Xu Xing shook his head, not bothering to explain further.

"First, ensure your own invincibility, then await the enemy's vulnerability."

"This principle applies to both military strategy and Cultivation."

"In all matters, consider defeat before victory."

"Certainly, if he dared not travel with Wen Renlan merely out of 'fear' that her fiancé would cause him trouble, it would make him seem cowardly. But what if her fiancé was indeed a petty, nitpicking sort?"

"In that case, wouldn't he have inadvertently offended a Refining Void Realm expert?"

"Such a possibility could not be dismissed."

"Very well. After this concubine returns to the Fire Spirit Sect, I will contact Xu Daoist again."

Seeing Xu Xing's expression remain unchanged, Wen Renlan no longer had the heart to tease him. Her smile faded, and she spoke with solemnity.

With that said, Wen Renlan did not linger outside the island. She performed a curtsy to Xu Xing, and after they exchanged contact methods, she landed on the island's shore and walked inland.

Once Wen Renlan disappeared from his sight, Xu Xing's brow furrowed slightly. With a flick of his wide sleeve, he swiftly departed from Sea Monkey Island.

「Several hours later.」

In a sea area near Heavenly Star Island, as indicated on the sea map, Xu Xing's Escaping Light halted, revealing his figure.

"So this is Heavenly Star Island. I'll stay here temporarily for a while..."

Xu Xing flicked his sleeve robe, employed a disguise spell to alter his appearance, suppressed his cultivation, and transformed into a dark-skinned old man before walking into Heavenly Star Island.

He had chosen not to enter Sea Monkey Island with Wen Renlan this time for two reasons. Firstly, he was wary of Wen Renlan's betrothed, concerned that a jealous nature might bring him unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, he was also wary of Wen Renlan herself, fearing that once on the island, she might use the Fire Spirit Sect's power to act against him.

"If Wen Renlan, contrary to her claims, did not actually have this betrothed and was unconcerned about gossip, then his entering the island with her would be tantamount to walking into a trap."

Therefore, due to these various concerns, Xu Xing chose to leave Sea Monkey Island first and head to a different Spirit Island.

Only after he had thoroughly investigated Wen Renlan's background and identity, confirming their accuracy, would he return to Sea Monkey Island. Then, he planned to borrow the Fire Spirit Sect's influence to temporarily establish a foothold in the Day Sky Ocean Region.

Shortly thereafter, Xu Xing arrived at the market on Heavenly Star Island. Adopting the pseudonym 'Yin Jie,' he paid the necessary fees within Heavenly Star Island, completed his registration, and rented a Cave Mansion.

The Cultivator in charge of renting Cave Mansions was suspicious of Xu Xing's origins. However, wary of Xu Xing's 'Nascent Soul' Realm cultivation, he refrained from asking too many questions.

"This is the token for the Cave Mansion. Senior Yin, you can use it after dripping a drop of your Essence Blood onto it..."

In the Service Office at Heavenly Star Island's market, a white-robed Cultivator handed Xu Xing a Token engraved with a three-star pattern.

"On Heavenly Star Island, those who rent Cave Mansions for more than one hundred years have the opportunity to become Outer Sect Disciples of the island's two major powers: the Kui Star Gate and the Heavenly Saber Sect."

"If the rental period exceeds a thousand years, there's a chance to become Inner Sect Disciples of these two major powers," the white-robed Cultivator said.

Xu Xing accepted the Heavenly Star Island Token, pondered for a moment, then placed it into his sleeve without immediately dripping his Essence Blood onto it.

"As far as he knew, the Cultivation World possessed methods to detect a Cultivator's cultivation level using their Essence Blood."

"The Magical Artifacts in the Lower Realms were too rudimentary to detect his Nascent Soul Stage, but in the Chiming World, that might not be the case."

"And this method of detecting cultivation, he suspected, might be unavoidable through ordinary means..."

Seeing Xu Xing tuck the Token into his sleeve, the white-robed Cultivator's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. He secretly memorized Xu Xing's name and Cave Mansion number.

"I wonder, is Senior Yin more interested in the Heavenly Saber Sect or the Kui Star Gate?"

"The Heavenly Saber Sect specializes in artifact cultivation and requires pure Magic Power. The Kui Star Gate, on the other hand, is different; it is all-encompassing..." the white-robed Cultivator said with a smile.

"Xu Mou is more interested in the Kui Star Gate... If an opportunity to join the Kui Star Gate arises, that would naturally be an excellent thing..."

Xu Xing's eyes flickered. Stroking his chin, he replied.

He had just observed that these Deacons in the Service Office, while not cold in their speech, were not particularly talkative either.

Now that this white-robed Cultivator was engaging him in conversation, he surmised it was likely because his failure to immediately place his Essence Blood on the Token had aroused suspicion.

"It seems the defenses on Heavenly Star Island are considerably tighter than I imagined..."
