Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Somewhere in the northern section of the Qing Shi Spiritual Vein.

A ripple appeared in the void, and a young man with a sinister face staggered out of the void, his expression extremely ugly.

He never expected that Han Li, who was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, would have such powerful methods.

If I hadn't prepared a backup plan, I probably would have perished in the Azure Stone Spirit Vein just like those others.

What angered him even more was that his cultivation partner, Xueyan, had unexpectedly perished in this person's sneak attack.

I, Han Xu, swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this!

Han Xu remained expressionless, a surge of blood-red light erupted from her body, she glanced deeply at the azure stone spiritual vein behind her, then transformed into a streak of blood-red light and vanished into the vast天地 (heaven and earth) in a few flashes.

Meanwhile, at the front-line garrison.

Tens of thousands of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators stood in the cold winter snow, their cold gazes fixed on the approaching army of demonic cultivators not far away.

In mid-air, various flying boats and magical artifacts hovered, bursting forth with colorful spiritual light, and the astonishing spiritual pressure caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

Directly in front of these spirit boats stood several figures, coldly watching the leading Nascent Soul cultivators in the snowy region.

The surrounding mountains were riddled with potholes, the damaged and crashed warships were burning fiercely, and corpses were everywhere.

Swords clash and horses gallop; war rages on.

"Kill!"

As the bugle call sounded, all sorts of magical artifacts burst forth, whistling as they rushed toward the opposite side.

Those Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, one by one, rode flying swords and swooped down fearlessly.

Approaching them were countless ice and snow monsters, as well as all sorts of overwhelming magical treasures and magical artifacts.

The booming explosions continued incessantly.

“Master Cangkun, I have already experienced your supernatural powers. Now it is my turn.”

Seeing this, the Nascent Soul experts rose up one by one, taking a step and appearing in the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters as if they had teleported.

The spiritual energy and magical power that had been suppressed within his body surged out unrestrainedly at this moment, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the wind and clouds to change color in an instant.

Both sides attached great importance to this battle, and each sent seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators to deal with it.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator who supported the Star River Sword Sect from the Li Huo Sect, Venerable Cang Kun was inevitably drawn into the conflict.

Since the recent negotiations failed, the great battle between cultivators from the righteous and demonic paths has officially begun.

In just over ten days, the number of participants on both sides has exceeded 100,000.

One hundred thousand may not seem like a lot, but you should know that the vast majority of these are cultivators at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, and they are practically giving it their all.

After several battles, the Nascent Soul stage experts who participated in the battle could no longer sit still and fought each other for a few rounds, with both sides winning and losing.

Defeating a Nascent Soul cultivator at the same cultivation level might not be difficult, but killing another Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level is practically impossible.

After all, who among those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in the human realm is easy to deal with?

Unless there is a significant difference in strength, or they are ganged up on by multiple Nascent Soul cultivators, they will not easily perish.

Besides Venerable Cangkun, those who participated in this battle included Fairy Ningshuang from the Star River Sword Sect, True Man Qingshe from the Bamboo Mountain Sect, Zhen Yuanzi from the Golden Goose Sword Sect, Geng Yezi from Danyang Valley, and two Nascent Soul stage elders from the Qingxia Sect and Guyue Village.

However, the opposing team's lineup was not bad either. In addition to the Nascent Soul cultivators from the three major demonic sects, there were also two early Nascent Soul cultivators from the Cambrian Kingdom to support them.

"You're neither human nor ghost, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Master Cangkun snorted coldly, his body radiating spiritual light. He flipped his palm, and a fire cicada appeared in his hand, swelling in the wind to become a hundred feet in size.

This fire cicada is none other than the natal magic weapon of Venerable Cangkun, the Hundred-Shedding Heavenly Cicada.

Seeing this, the other Nascent Soul cultivators all summoned their own natal magic treasures, such as long swords, flying blades, or flying needles and flower baskets.

The auras of more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators were released without any concealment, causing the entire world to tremble. Fortunately, it was at an altitude of ten thousand meters. If it were near the mountains, their pressure alone would probably have crushed everything!

The battle between the two sides is about to break out!

Just then, a golden streak of light sped in from the distant horizon.

Looking at the words on the communication jade talisman, Venerable Cangkun frowned.

Just then, the bugle call to retreat sounded.

"withdraw!"

On the battlefield below, after hearing the horn signaling the retreat, the cultivators glared angrily at the demonic cultivators not far away, each one gritting their teeth.

Led by Core Formation stage cultivators from various sects, they reluctantly withdrew.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Cangkun made a grabbing motion with his five fingers in the air, and the originally hundred-zhang-long fire cicada transformed into a golden fire robe, which merged into his body.

As the Hundred-Transformation Heavenly Cicada merged into his body, Venerable Cangkun's aura surged. Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward and instantly disappeared from his original spot.

Seeing this, the others exchanged glances, watching the demonic cultivators with wary expressions, before transforming into streaks of light and shooting away.

......

Two months later, in a temporary cave dwelling somewhere in the Qing Shi spiritual vein.

A streak of azure light flew out from the spiritual vein cave, revealing the figure of an ordinary-looking cultivator in a green robe.

This person was none other than Han Li, who had been in seclusion at the Qing Shi Spirit Vein for two months to recuperate.

During these two months, Han Li did not rush back to the front line. Instead, he found a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy near the Qing Shi spiritual vein and began his seclusion.

If his deduction is correct, the moment the matter of the Azure Stone Spirit Vein is exposed will also be the moment the battle begins on the front lines.

Therefore, under the guise of healing and recovery, Han Li decisively opened a temporary cave dwelling near the Azure Stone Spirit Vein.

During this period, Master Cangkun hinted to Han Li more than once that he should return as soon as possible.

Han Li pretended not to know about this and tried to postpone his participation in the front-line battle as much as possible.

With his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, whether he could survive the chaotic battle was another matter entirely, so naturally he wouldn't risk his life lightly.

However, this expedient measure can only delay things for a while, not forever.

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but frown.

The next moment, a streak of light blue light shot out, revealing a female cultivator in a blue palace dress. The newcomer was none other than Gan Rushuang.

"Senior Brother Han, I just received news that two months ago, the demonic path began a large-scale invasion of our borders, and the battle on the front lines is now critical. Master said that there are very important matters to discuss with us, and we must return immediately."

Gan Rushuang examined the communication jade talisman in her hand and slowly spoke.

"Don't rush, there's something we need to do before we go back."

Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. As his thoughts raced, he flicked his finger, and a beam of azure light shot out, landing on the stone door of the cave.

The moment the green light entered the body, the heavy stone door of the cave, weighing a thousand pounds, slowly closed. Streams of white smoke billowed out from all directions, covering the entire cave entrance. Under the cover of the falling snow, there was not a trace of anything unusual.

Han Li nodded in agreement, a flash of azure light appeared on his body, and he shot off in various directions of the Azure Stone Spirit Vein.

After leaving the Spirit Vein Cave, Han Li did not rush to the front line. Instead, he went to the vicinity of the outer array of the Azure Stone Spirit Vein, took out the Dragon Coral Grass that he had secretly hidden in the array, and put it into his storage bag.

Looking at the Dragon Coral Grass in his hand, which had lost much of its spiritual power, Han Li narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

After doing all this, the two hurried back to the front-line camp.

"It must be Senior Han and Fairy Ru Shuang. Ancestor Cang Kun and Senior Xuan Lian have been waiting in the tent for a long time."

Just as they returned to the camp, a female cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining rushed over and greeted the two of them with clasped hands.

"I know, you go down first!"

"Yes!"

The female cultivator nodded, bowed respectfully to the two men, and left the tent.

"Senior Brother Han, let's go too!"

"Ah."

The two knew the way well and quickly passed through the camp, arriving at their destination.

Compared to a few months ago, there are significantly more cultivators patrolling the area. In addition, there are significantly fewer cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage inside the camp, indicating that a major battle has taken place, resulting in the loss of all their elite forces.

Considering what had happened before, Han Li felt a vague unease.

Pushing open the tent door, one could see Venerable Cangkun and Fairy Xuanlian sitting at the head of the table, their faces showing signs of exhaustion.

Seeing the two return safely, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Disciple Han Li greets Master and Mistress!"

"Disciple Gan Rushuang greets Master and Senior Uncle Cangkun!"

Upon seeing the two, Han Li immediately smiled and bowed to the two seated at the head of the table.

"Han Li, I've heard about the Azure Stone Spirit Vein. To be honest, I didn't believe it before, that you could kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with your supernatural abilities. But this trip to the Azure Stone Spirit Vein has completely changed my opinion of you."

The news that Han Li had single-handedly killed four Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Azure Stone Spirit Vein had already spread far and wide, which greatly increased his prestige among Foundation Establishment cultivators and brought considerable prestige to Venerable Cang Kun.

"Master, you flatter me. My success this time is entirely due to the great help of all my fellow Daoists. I dare not take credit for it. It's just a pity that my fourth senior brother perished at the hands of the demonic cultivators..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Rushuang's eyes reddened.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean to blame you. Not only will I not punish you, I will also reward you."

As they spoke, Fairy Xuanlian and Venerable Cangkun exchanged a glance, then each took out a square box from their storage bags and transferred it to their hands with spiritual energy.

"This...this is...the Gathering Peak Pill!"

Upon opening the sealed purple wooden box, a purple pill came into view.

The Gathering Peak Pill, an essential elixir for breaking through to the Core Formation stage, is not only valuable in itself, but its refining materials are also extremely scarce. Even the five major sects can only refine a handful of these pills every ten years!

More than ten years ago, at the Foundation Establishment stage auction in Wuling City, Han Li had the good fortune to see a Gathering Peak Pill, which sold for tens of thousands of spirit stones at the time.

You should know that the average Foundation Establishment cultivator only has a few tens of thousands of spirit stones in their possession!

This shows how precious the Gathering Pill is.

But now, they have only carried out a spiritual vein mission, why would they need such a reward?

"Master, this Gathering Peak Pill is too precious. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. This disciple is truly unworthy of it!"

After carefully examining the box and confirming that it was indeed the Gathering Peak Pill, Han Li closed the wooden box and bowed slightly.

"Yes, Master, we were just carrying out a spiritual vein mission, why bother..."

Gan Rushuang's beautiful eyes flickered uncertainly as she cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Fairy Xuanlian.

"Hehe, who said this was a reward from the Azure Stone Spirit Vein?"

"Not a reward from the Bluestone Spirit Vein? Then Master, this is..."

Han Li and Gan Rushuang looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

"Han Li, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. The best decision I ever made in my life was taking you as my disciple."

Master Cangkun laughed heartily, then slowly stood up and patted Han Li on the shoulder.

"You always know how to speak in riddles to your disciples. Let me explain it to them!"

Fairy Xuanlian pouted and said irritably.

It turns out that Han Li's previous judgment was correct.

The Qingxia Sect and Guyue Village are indeed problematic. On the surface, these two sects are on good terms with the five major sects, but in secret they have already sided with the three demonic sects.

Very few people knew about this matter. The leaders of various factions vaguely sensed something, but due to the lack of substantial evidence, they could only give up.

After Han Li and the other man escaped, they reported the situation of Gu Luo and Qi Yue as quickly as possible.

You should know that Qi Yue's identity is not ordinary.

His betrayal, in a sense, confirmed the fact that the Qingxia Sect had defected.

Following this lead, they quickly found substantial evidence of the Qingxia Sect's patriarch's betrayal of the five major sects, and then, under the siege of the five major sects' Nascent Soul cultivators, the hidden danger was completely eliminated.

"The battles between Nascent Soul stage cultivators are no small matter. If a real fight had broken out on the front lines, the sudden betrayal of these two could have had incalculable and serious consequences."

Fairy Xuanlian paused, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

"I see!"

Having understood the whole story, Han Li nodded.

He never imagined that his mere precaution would have such a significant impact on the front lines.

"Han Li, besides the two of you, Jiao Fei and Yun Qiulan also escaped from the Azure Stone Spirit Vein."

"The only ones who could carefully analyze the current situation and make timely judgments and reactions after surviving such a disaster are the two of you!"

"Don't worry, no one else besides you will know about the Gathering Pill!"

Master Cangkun laughed heartily, becoming more and more satisfied with his disciple.

"In that case, I shall accept your offer without hesitation."

Hearing this, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.

That being said, if many people knew that he possessed a Gathering Pill, and someone were to harbor malicious intent, it would be a great loss.

Compared to the Gathering Pill, my own life is more important.

Subsequently, Han Li and Gan Rushuang took out Yang Xiao's and Murong Ying's storage bags respectively and handed them to the two of them.

Fairy Xuanlian and Venerable Cangkun nodded in agreement, indicating that they would hand over the storage bag to their descendants.

Given their status as Core Formation and Nascent Soul stage individuals, they wouldn't stoop to fabricating such matters.

Han Li had a good impression of Yang Xiao.

Unfortunately, the path to immortality is never smooth sailing, and he could only wish his fourth senior brother a safe journey to the underworld.

"Han Li, there is another important matter I have called you here today."

Just then, Venerable Cangkun paused and slowly spoke.
