Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 754 - 382. Entering the Jade Void Minor World, encountering Refining Void Immortals (seeking subscription, 5K large Chapter)_3
"Shentu Yuan?" Xu Xing noted down the name and nodded.
Advancing to the Refining Void Realm by relying on Immortal Relics was another cultivation path in the Chiming World, one forbidden by the Chiming Imperial Dynasty. In his Fate Deduction, he had joined the heretical sect "Heavenly Gate" and was already familiar with it. Although Xu Xing did not know the exact reason why the Heavenly Saber Sect was looking for the Ten Thousand Evil Stone, he could roughly figure it out. The Ten Thousand Evil Stone was useless for cultivators who followed the regular cultivation path. However, cultivators could hand it over to the Chiming Imperial Dynasty in exchange for merit and rewards. In addition, those cultivators hopeless of reaching Half-step Void Cultivation could also use Immortal Relics to make that crucial breakthrough. Even the Chiming Imperial Dynasty could hardly distinguish a cultivator who reached the Refining Void Realm via Immortal Relics from other Refining Void Immortals.
"If Shentu Yuan reaches the Refining Void Realm within 300 years, I'm afraid that even if the four of us join forces, we won't fare well," Xu Xing said, his expression turning a bit grim, his tone unhappy.
With the Divine Ape Transformation, he had enough power to retreat from cultivators at the Half-step Void Cultivation realm, but it wouldn't be the same when facing those at the Refining Void Realm. The gap between cultivators at Half-step Void Cultivation and those at the Refining Void Realm was even greater than that between humans and dogs. Fighting those stronger than oneself was never an easy task. Even if he were truly capable of it, he would be unwilling to take such a risk.
"We understand Brother Huanglong's concerns..." Yu Tao revealed a smile, as if he had already anticipated Xu Xing's worries. He chuckled and said, "If Shentu Yuan really becomes a Refining Void Immortal, our seeking him out would be no different from suicide. If Friend Huanglong values his life, so do we."
"If Shentu Yuan achieves the Refining Void Realm, Mr. Jade Void will surely know; such a thing cannot be hidden."
"Moreover, 300 years ago, a Nascent Soul Elder from our Sect cut off one of Shentu Yuan's arms. His Dao Body is incomplete and requires considerable time to heal, so how could he possibly achieve the Refining Void Realm in just 300 years?"
Hearing these two assurances, Xu Xing's expression eased somewhat, and he nodded. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivators possess Longevity Immortal Energy, allowing their Dao Bodies to regenerate even if destroyed. However, this is only in theory. Unlike him, not all Nascent Soul Cultivators possess an 'endless' supply of Longevity Immortal Energy. For an ordinary cultivator, recovering from a severed arm would take over a hundred years. Therefore, Shentu Yuan, having suffered such a grievous injury, should theoretically be unable to successfully refine the Ten Thousand Evil Stone and advance to the Refining Void Realm within a mere 300 years.
"This is the arm that Shentu Yuan lost 300 years ago. Friend Huanglong, please use your array technique to find his hiding place." Yu Tao took out a Jade Bottle from his sleeve. He opened the cap, retrieved a shriveled human arm from within, and handed it to Xu Xing.
No wonder... Seeing this, Xu Xing finally understood why the Heavenly Saber Sect had hired him to enter the Jade Void Minor World. Tracking secret techniques to find Shentu Yuan weren't hard to come by. However, given Shentu Yuan's strength, he would surely have taken precautions; ordinary tracking secret techniques were very likely ineffective. The Jade Void Minor World opened once every hundred years. Three hundred years meant the Heavenly Saber Sect had already searched for Shentu Yuan twice. Clearly, both attempts had failed. Compared to tracking secret techniques, tracking array techniques were the superior method for locating an enemy. Of course, the primary reason the Heavenly Saber Sect sought him out was likely because 'Huang Longzi' had lost his physical body and urgently needed a Person Without Spirit for possession. It was a combination of these factors that allowed him to stumble upon this 'opportunity'.
"You three stand guard while I set up a fifth-grade tracking array to find Shentu Yuan," Xu Xing said with a nod. He patted his Storage Bag, took out several Array Banners, and cast them out. The Array Banners hovered in the air, shimmering with five-colored magical prohibitions, appearing exceedingly profound.
Prior to the Fifth-grade Array Method, some cultivators could use Array Banners refined by a Formation Master to deploy corresponding array techniques, making them no different from Formation Masters in that regard. But with the advent of the Fifth-grade Array Method, everything changed. The Fifth-grade Array Method was a watershed, distinct from the fourth-stage Formation Method. Cultivators of the same realm could master a fourth-stage Formation Method with some time. However, a Fifth-grade Array Method, without a corresponding Formation Master to control it, would have its effectiveness greatly diminished. Even Nascent Soul Cultivators would struggle to unleash the full power of a Fifth-grade Array Method if they possessed one.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tao exchanged glances with the Beautiful Woman with the surname Diao and the short-haired young man carrying a long knife. They positioned themselves outside Xu Xing's array technique and began to protect him.
「Half a day later.」
The fifth-grade tracking array took shape. Xu Xing took the shriveled arm from the Jade Bottle and dripped a drop of Essence Blood onto the tracking array. Instantly, the array blazed with light, pointing towards the southeast.
"This distance indicates the Royal Capital of the Grand Moon Dynasty. Shentu Yuan is there, refining the Ten Thousand Evil Stone," Xu Xing said, after pondering for a moment and consulting the map of the Jade Void Minor World.
As soon as his voice fell, Yu Tao quickly rose, transforming into a crimson Escaping Light and rushing towards the Royal Capital of the Grand Moon Dynasty with all his might. This time, they were using Shentu Yuan's Essence Blood to sense his location. Shentu Yuan couldn't possibly be unaware of this, and if they delayed, he would surely be gone. Previously, the Heavenly Saber Sect had used a secret technique to seal Shentu Yuan's arm, isolating his senses. But now, using the tracking array technique to find him, some of his aura would inevitably be leaked. Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivators can sense the workings of heaven and earth. While not to the extent of predicting the Heavenly Machine, they can perceive matters of personal benefit or harm.
"Let's go together!"
The Beautiful Woman with the surname Diao and the short-haired young man with the long knife waited for Xu Xing to finish packing up, then nodded at each other. They activated their Escape Techniques and sped off at full power. It would be too much for Yu Tao to handle Shentu Yuan, a cultivator of the same realm, by himself.
Xu Xing followed the three Escaping Lights from a distance, not exerting his full speed.
He lacked a physical body, and if his escape speed were faster than the three of them, it would arouse suspicion. Everything must be done cautiously.
Soon, Xu Xing fell quite a distance behind the three of them.
Halfway there, the Beautiful Woman with the surname Diao, who was at the rear, grew impatient with Xu Xing's slow Escaping Light. After a brief word to him via Divine Sense, she sped up, leaving him behind to catch up with Yu Tao.
Seeing this, Xu Xing smiled faintly, stopped, opened his mouth, and a youth in a green robe emerged from it.
The Mother-Child Twinning couldn't be separated for too long, much less across Two Realms. To be safe this time, he naturally wouldn't have let 'Huang Longzi' come to the Jade Void Minor World alone. Fortunately, because the Mother-Child Twinning shared the same aura, the fact that his true body was hidden within 'Huang Longzi' had not been discovered.
