Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"Master, what brings you here this time? Could it be that the plan has changed?"

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Alas, I didn't think things through this duel. I never expected that old bastard Zhen Yuanzi would resort to such despicable means to win this competition."

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, seemingly puzzled.

"The Jin Hong Sword Sect has an ancient cultivation manual called the Chongyuan Revolving Technique. Legend has it that in addition to compressing true essence and profound magical power, cultivating this technique can also compress cultivation level, allowing a cultivator who was originally in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to forcibly compress the magical power and true essence in their body to the early Foundation Establishment stage."

"Although they are in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, their internal mana is no less than that of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. In other words, the opponents you are fighting this time are on the surface about the same level as you, but in reality they are generally a small level higher than you."

Master Cangkun sighed and said something that left everyone speechless.

Han Li had also heard of the Chongyuan Revolving Technique.

It is said that this method, in addition to being both offensive and defensive, also includes a supernatural power similar to the Forging Source Technique. Using this supernatural power can suppress a cultivator's mana and true essence, and to some extent, it can also be helpful for Core Formation.

Unfortunately, this method can only be used by cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage, and each cultivator can only use it once.

If it is used a second time, the body will explode and die because it cannot withstand the compression of true essence and spiritual power.

The Reincarnation Technique is itself an extraordinary divine power that ordinary cultivators cannot master.

Even if those people truly cultivated this divine power, they would only have mastered a portion of the technique for compressing true essence, and it would be impossible for them to have completely mastered the Revolve Reincarnation Technique.

If such a top-tier supernatural power could be easily mastered by a cultivator, that would be a strange thing.

"Isn't what they're doing blatant cheating?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan immediately became displeased.

"I think so too, but the rules set at the time were for battles between cultivators of the same level. There was no rule against using such supernatural powers that suppress true essence, so it doesn't count as a violation of the agreement. It was all our oversight."

"Furthermore, the invitations have already been sent out. If we back down now, the thousand-year reputation of my Fire Sect may be ruined in an instant."

"Fortunately, this technique has many limitations and is ineffective against cultivators in the Pseudo-Core stage, so Yan Xiao and Chen Yao, you two don't need to worry too much. Just perform normally."

"As for the three of you..."

Master Cangkun then shifted his focus to Han Li and his two companions.

"With your abilities, Senior Brother Yan Xiao and Senior Sister Chen, winning two matches shouldn't be a problem. But in this next match, the three of you must win one of them, otherwise I will have lost this bet."

"I know this is a bit too much for you, but I hope you will take it very seriously and not be careless."

Upon hearing this, both Fang Yuan and Yang Xiao were dejected.

Just kidding, they've never been afraid of anyone in a battle between equals, but they're not confident when facing a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who's compressing their true essence in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

At that moment, the flying boat made a loud noise and landed on a hill not far from the Fire Gate.

In an instant, golden and red light shot into the sky from the flying boat, heading straight towards the direction of the Li Huo Sect.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. The official competition starts tomorrow, so go back and rest now."

"Han Li, you stay here... the rest of you, go ahead!"

With that, everyone present took their leave and departed.

Han Li clasped his hands in a fist salute and was about to leave when he was stopped by Venerable Cangkun.

As Yan Xiao and the others passed by Han Li, they patted him on the shoulder, nodded slightly, and then took their leave.

"Han Li, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The reason I've kept you here is to discuss some important points regarding this competition."

"Didn't Master just say that?" Han Li asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm sure you know that this Li Jin competition represents not only the honor of the Li Huo Sect, but also my future marriage. You wouldn't want your master to go back on his word, would you?"

"Don't be so quick to refuse, kid. I know your situation better than anyone."

"You are clearly only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet your magical power is no less than that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. In addition, you won the championship at the Ascension Conference. In terms of combat alone, your senior brother Fang and senior brother Yang can't even match your flattery."

"Of the three of you, you have the highest probability of winning. That's why I'm keeping you here to give you some advice."

"I have already spoken to Xuan Lian about your relationship with Gan Rushuang. If I can get my wish this time, I can arrange your marriage so that you can get married soon. That way, we can become even closer relatives!"

Master Cangkun chuckled, patted Han Li on the shoulder, and his eyes were full of admiration.

Han Li stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.

"This disciple will obey Master's orders and will certainly do my utmost this time!"

"However, Master, although I have some affection for Miss Ru Shuang, I am devoted to the Dao and will not consider such matters in the short term."

"When I have achieved great success in my cultivation, I will personally go to the Star River Sword Sect to explain this matter, so you will not have to trouble yourself, Master."

With Venerable Cangkun's cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, he would certainly not deceive him on such matters.

However, Han Li believed that he should fight for his own feelings rather than rely on others, so he decisively rejected his master's request.

"You little rascal, I really don't know what to say about you."

Upon hearing Han Li's answer, Venerable Cangkun shook his head helplessly.

Although Han Li is skilled in combat, with his cultivation aptitude, reaching the Core Formation stage or even the Nascent Soul stage would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He had heard of Gan Rushuang before; with her dual spiritual roots, she would have no problem reaching the Nascent Soul stage, let alone the Core Formation stage.

Instead of striking while the iron is hot and becoming partners with her, you're saying things like that.

It's good for young people to have ambition, but they must also be realistic!

In Ningzhou, besides the master-disciple relationship, the only reliable relationship is that of a Daoist couple.

Although he is now a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator in Ningzhou, he cannot protect Han Li forever, especially since Han Li has indirectly helped him as well.

If this marriage can be arranged, it will be of great benefit to both Han Li and the relationship between the two factions.

That being said, when Cang Kun met Han Li's resolute gaze, he felt a strange sensation, as if this young man had truly reached that point...

"Alright, alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

A ridiculous thought arose in the mind of Venerable Cangkun, but it quickly dissipated. After giving a few instructions, he left with Han Li.
