Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

After quickly packing their belongings in the cave, the two rode their flying swords and sped towards the direction of the Heshan Sect.

With Han Li's current speed, it only took him half a day to arrive at the Burial Mountain Range.

Looking at the dark, creeping mountain range in front of him, Han Li recalled the time he was chased in Heshan. So many years have passed, and he wondered if Ma Laojiu was still alive. If he encountered this person alone in the wild, Han Li would not mind killing him off and ending the matter once and for all.

As for causing trouble for the Heshan Sect, let's forget about it.

With his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was not afraid of the late-Foundation Establishment stage, but if he encountered Old Monster Yan, who was in the Core Formation stage, he would have no choice but to run away.

He didn't believe that with his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, he could contend with a Core Formation stage cultivator.

It should be noted that Core Formation stage cultivators not only have higher cultivation levels, but also possess natal magic treasures. The supernatural combat power enhanced by their natal magic treasures is far superior to that of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

More than a decade ago, Old Monster Yan had just broken through to the Core Formation stage and began his seclusion, presumably to consolidate his cultivation or refine his natal magic weapon; otherwise, why would he have spent so much time on it?

Upon arriving near the Zangyue Mountains, Han Li did not rush in. Instead, he carefully observed the area around the Zangyue Mountains to ensure there was no danger before heading to the valley where the Five Willow Roots had been discovered, based on the information provided by Wan Xiaozhi and the others.

Along the way, Han Li encountered many rogue cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. From them, he learned that the struggle between the two factions had been much calmer in recent years than in previous years.

The reason for this situation is that Old Monster Qi, knowing that his days are numbered, took the initiative to emerge from seclusion and led his disciples to attack the mountain gate, wanting to force Old Monster Yan to make a move and perish together with him.

Old Man Yan was well aware of this; he wanted to eliminate any potential troubles for the Qishan Sect before he passed away.

He wasn't stupid, so naturally he didn't want to clash head-on with such a person. As a result, the Heshan Sect lost several cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment, and its territory shrank rapidly.

The current situation seems to be in the favor of the Qishan Sect, but Han Li knows in his heart that once Old Monster Qi passes away, Old Monster Yan will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will definitely take action personally to unify the entire Zangyue Mountain Range.

In the end, the struggle between the two factions turned into a contest of who could live longer.

"Senior Brother Han, the ghostly supernatural abilities and puppet-making techniques you previously possessed should have originated from the Heshan Sect, right? But why do you seem so wary of a formidable enemy when you enter this area?"

Gan Rushuang was puzzled by Han Li's behavior.

In her mind, since Han Li was able to learn the Ghost Dao technique, he was naturally considered half one of her own. Why then did he proceed with such caution when entering the Burial Mountain Range? This didn't make sense.

Han Li sighed and then recounted how, during his Qi Refining stage, he had infiltrated the Heshan Sect by chance, and how he had been hunted down by the Heshan Sect before escaping alive.

Gan Rushuang was stunned after hearing Han Li's story.

She never imagined that the Heshan Sect would be so ungrateful.

"Although I am no longer the Qi Refining stage cultivator I once was, I still have to be wary of Old Monster Yan. However, in my opinion, Old Monster Yan is most likely still in seclusion. The fact that Qishan Sect is causing such a ruckus shows that Old Monster Yan is nearing the end of his life. He is just a grasshopper in autumn and won't be able to jump around for many more days."

"You must know that the battle between Core Formation stage cultivators is absolutely no small matter. As a newly promoted Core Formation stage cultivator, Old Monster Yan, although he is also at the early stage of Core Formation, has a very low probability of defeating Old Monster Qi without the support of his natal magic weapon. Under such circumstances, he would definitely not fight with him. Therefore, now is the perfect opportunity for us to infiltrate the Burial Mountain Range and obtain the Five Willow Roots."

Han Li paused for a moment, then patiently explained.

Flying along the northwestern edge of the Zangyue Mountains, passing through more than ten mountains, and following the map, we hurried to the area where the mountain turtles were found.

After confirming everything was correct, Han Li waved his hand, sending out seven or eight crimson array flags in succession. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand as he took out the Demon-Attracting Liquid he had obtained in Guangling City.

The Demon-Attracting Liquid is a crucial item for cultivators of Guangling City when hunting high-level demonic beasts at sea. Especially high-level demonic beasts above the Core Formation stage, each possessing intelligence comparable to humans, would be impossible for high-level cultivators to even glimpse, let alone hunt.

The materials used to refine the Demon-Attracting Liquid include a large amount of Demon-Attracting Grass and catalysts. These substances are like delicious drugs that can make demon beasts lose their minds for a short period of time.

Although it's unknown whether it will work on this land monster, there's no other way at the moment, so we can only try anything as a last resort.

Han Li flicked his finger, and a beam of sword light shot out from his fingertip, landing on the rock below.

The moment the rock came into contact with the cyan sword light, it was easily sliced ​​open like tofu, raising clouds of dust. When the dust settled, a pit ten feet in size was revealed.

Han Li nodded, took out the demon-attracting liquid he had purchased from his storage bag, and threw it into the rock pit he had carved below. With a flick of his finger, a cluster of purple flames ignited along the edge of the demon-attracting liquid, emitting a strange fragrance.

The Minor Mystery Formation, the Spirit Gathering Formation, the Entangling Formation, and the Supreme Purity Cave Mystery True Light were all unleashed, causing them to vanish from their original spots in an instant.

Before long, roars echoed through the mountain forests, as a large number of first- and second-tier demonic beasts gathered there.

Unfortunately, although many monsters were attracted by the demon-attracting liquid, none of them were mountain turtles.

Another half day passed, and after the allure of the demon-attracting liquid had burned out and the horde of demonic beasts had dispersed, not a trace of the mountain tortoise was found.

"Could it be that the intelligence was wrong, and there is no Five Willow Root here?"

After the monsters dispersed, the two revealed themselves and stared blankly at the empty pit in front of them.

"This little guy is quite good at hiding!"

Han Li's eyes flashed with a blue light, and he transformed into a yellow light, disappearing into the rock.

The next moment, several beams of light flew out and shot off in all directions.

"Catch the one with green sprouts growing on its back!"

Han Li's voice echoed in Gan Rushuang's mind.

At the same time, countless plumes of smoke billowed out, connecting with each other and completely enveloping the entire valley.

Although the mountain tortoise's speed cannot match that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it excels in agility and is exceptionally swift in small-scale movements. Coupled with its innate earth-遁神通 (earth-遁神通, a type of magical ability), even with the support of a small illusion array, it is still somewhat difficult to catch.

It seems that Wan Xiaozhi and her companions were quite lucky that day, encountering a mountain tortoise that was about to die of old age. Otherwise, given their Qi Refining stage speed, the probability of catching it would have been very low.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Gan Rushuang's body shimmered with spiritual light, the Crescent Moon magic weapon floated behind her, and with a light tap of her toes, she darted toward the scattered mountain turtles.
