Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 556 - 11: Another Transmigrator

Over two months ago.

After reporting the Zhuge family, Huang Qianyun and Huang Zhixin had been waiting on Penglai Immortal Island for the results of their report.

As the matter involved at least two fake pill cultivators, Yi An of the Dao League’s Law Enforcement Hall could only choose to contact the Dao League leader, Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong, who had practiced Taoism at Mount Longhu since childhood, was the first in the country to cultivate True Qi after the revival of Spiritual Qi and later cooperated with the state to form the Dao League, wielding great power.

This time, he was not on Penglai Immortal Island because he had been summoned back to Mount Longhu by his master.

Though Hu Yousong’s master was too old to embark on the path of cultivation, he held great seniority and influence, with many true cultivators among his disciples.

"Yousong, do you still remember your young junior brother, Zhu Yan, who died early?"

"Of course, I remember. We were both orphans adopted by you, Master. Unfortunately... junior brother was in poor health since childhood and died at the age of fifteen..."

"Even though I had already established my Foundation and nurtured him with True Essence, I still couldn’t alter his fate..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Hu Yousong was full of regret, as he was quite fond of this junior brother.

Zhang Zongsheng nodded, forcing a slight smile, and said, "Yousong, look, who is this?"

The door opened, and a young man in a Taoist robe with skin like jade walked in. Although the young man differed somewhat from his impression, Hu Yousong was still shocked when he saw him: "Junior Brother Zhu Yan? No, how is this possible?"

"Senior Brother, you’re not mistaken, it’s me," the young Taoist robe-clad man sighed, explaining that although it had been ten years for Senior Brother Hu, for him it had been over three thousand years.

"Junior Brother, is it really you?" Hu Yousong was incredulous.

"Indeed, without a doubt," Zhu Yan smiled faintly. "After I died, an Immortal took favor on me, revived me, and brought me to a place more suitable for cultivation. Recently, the Immortal sent me back."

"An... Immortal?" Hu Yousong was at a loss for words. Could there really be Immortals?

"And Junior Brother, your current cultivation..." He observed his junior brother but found that he could not discern the other’s cultivation level at all.

"It should be considered late-stage Void Profound," Zhu Yan stated.

"Void Profound?" Hu Yousong was puzzled, "What cultivation realm is this?"

"After Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation, comes Void Profound."

Boom.

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, Hu Yousong was shocked internally. He was currently considered one of the top tier cultivators on Earth, yet he only temporarily transcended Foundation Establishment through fake pill techniques and hadn’t truly found the Golden Core Dao.

Yet his junior brother... above Divinity Transformation? It was simply unbelievable.

"I won’t stay long this time, but before I leave, I’ll leave some cultivation resources for you and help Master embark on the path of cultivation. After I leave, I entrust Master and the other senior brothers to your care," Zhu Yan said.

With a casual wave of his hand, several storage bags appeared before Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong glanced at them, deeply surprised, overwhelmed, gradually becoming convinced of his junior brother’s words.

"Junior Brother, are all these resources... for us?"

"Mhm. By the way, Senior Brother, there might be others like me, returning from other cultivation worlds. If the Dao League encounters similar cultivators, do not offend them, even if they cause trouble. Just notify me directly; I’ll be at Mount Longhu during this period, helping Master... establish his Foundation."

...

After receiving his junior brother’s warning, Hu Yousong soon received another report from Yi An.

"The Zhuge family? Hmph, I’ve long disliked the Zhuge family. Don’t worry about their ancestor; investigate boldly. Check what’s needed, try what needs trying, and judge what’s to be judged."

If before, Hu Yousong had been somewhat apprehensive about the Zhuge family, now with his junior brother back, a Void Profound Great Power, he completely disregarded the minor Zhuge family. Among the resources his junior brother gave him were pills that assisted in Core Formation, Nascent Soul Formation, and even Divinity Transformation. It wouldn’t be long before he alone could suppress the Zhuge family.

"What? That fake pill female cultivator even removed my plaque?"

Hu Yousong was surprised and rather angry. However, upon hearing from Yi An that a day before, that female cultivator was only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, but a day later gained fake pill combat power, he quickly calmed down.

Such methods...

The young girl from Qianyun Temple must have had guidance from a master. He suddenly remembered his junior brother’s warning: there might be others like him returning from other cultivation worlds.

Could it be...

Hu Yousong hurriedly instructed Yi An to stabilize the situation while he sought out his junior brother.

"To help a fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivator temporarily gain fake pill power, whether using pills or magical treasures, isn’t easy. Such pills and treasures even rival the value of a Nascent Soul Pill. If it’s not a cultivator above the Divinity Transformation stage, it’s impossible to casually give such treasures to someone," Zhu Yan remarked with a surprised expression after hearing the news.

"Senior Brother, could you go and contact this person for me? Master is old, and nearing his end. It’s very dangerous to establish his Foundation within a hundred days. I must protect him personally."

"This is my talisman avatar, with a total of nine, crafted meticulously by me. Each one is equivalent to a Divinity Transformation stage. Take them for self-defense; no place on Earth is off-limits to you."

"No problem." Hu Yousong enthusiastically accepted the nine talismans, acknowledging his junior brother’s capabilities.

The next day, he returned to Penglai Immortal Island, met with the two from Qianyun Temple, and personally led the investigation into the Zhuge family. As for the Zhuge Patriarch at fake pill cultivation, with the magical treasure gifted by a Void Profound Great Cultivator, Hu Yousong easily captured him.

The entire Zhuge family was thoroughly investigated. All members with any illegal activities were detained. Huang Qianyun and Huang Zhixin were completely unexpected regarding such a result.

"If you two are satisfied with the Dao League’s handling, could you take me to meet the senior at Huang Mountain? Lax oversight was the Dao League’s fault, and I wish to thank them personally." Regarding the expert behind Qianyun Temple, Hu Yousong initially estimated they shouldn’t be an evildoer. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked the cultivators from Qianyun Temple to report the wrongdoings of the Zhuge family.

...

"Junior of the Dao League, Hu Yousong, seeks an audience with the senior."

After waiting patiently, Lin Jing finally put away the large array and revealed himself before Hu Yousong.

Gazing at the young man before him, Hu Yousong felt the same unfathomable depth as when meeting his junior brother.

"Leader of the Dao League... are you here to reclaim that plaque?"

"Or simply to report on the Zhuge family’s matter?"

"Or perhaps..."

Lin Jing spoke slowly, as if seeing through everything: "Did that Void Profound Cultivator behind you send you to test me?"

Boom.

As Lin Jing finished speaking, Hu Yousong’s pupils shrank, and even the talisman avatar hidden on him trembled slightly.

Hu Yousong hadn’t anticipated that the presence behind the two from Qianyun Temple would be so terrifying, able to instantly see through what he had concealed.

That was crafted by a Void Profound Great Cultivator after all.
