Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

The island was deserted; the once bustling streets were now silent, with only the occasional whistling of the sea breeze carrying sand and dust.

The shops along the street had their doors tightly shut, and the brass rings on the doors swayed in the wind, making a crisp yet somewhat desolate sound.

In the distance, a group of mysterious figures dressed in black robes slowly approached. Their steps were perfectly synchronized, and they exuded a chilling aura. The leader held a longsword that emitted a ghostly light, and with each step, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

The guards on the island were on high alert, gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes revealing tension and determination, and a strong sense of impending doom filled the air.

Just as Han Li was surprised, a loud rumbling sound came. Looking up, he saw a huge warship slowly rising into the air at the center of the Pengsha Island Overturning Sea Formation.

This warship was initially only a few dozen feet in size, but in the blink of an eye it transformed into a mountain as large as a mountain peak. The surface of the warship was covered with countless emerald green vines, which spread wildly and transformed into countless emerald green lotus roots and leaves, just like a lotus flower in bud.

Around the giant ship, protective light screens rose and fell, and countless arrays and restrictions reinforced it. After a huge roar, the giant ship slowly rose into the air, like an eagle soaring through the sky, or like a light flower petal. After spinning around the island a few times, it sped off in a certain direction, turning into a fleeting glimpse of a swan and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This scene unfolded across the 365 spiritual veins of Pengsha Island.

Large and small spirit boats sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, silently hovering throughout the island's spiritual veins, their various colors of spiritual light shining like long dragons in the night, forming a magnificent spectacle.

Various magical artifacts never seen before were displayed one by one, and the sound of huge drums resounded throughout the island's spiritual veins.

Just as Han Li was carefully examining these warships and artifacts, several dazzling streaks of light pierced through the void, revealing six figures of cultivators—the six Nascent Soul experts stationed on the island.

Upon seeing these six Nascent Soul experts, Ao Ling trembled and hurriedly hid behind Han Li.

Countless people raised their heads as if sensing something, their gazes falling on the six figures floating above the island. Although the other party did not deliberately release their aura, the invisible pressure made people tremble in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoists, the Kunpeng Clan has torn up the thousand-year treaty and launched a massive invasion of our human race's seas. At this critical juncture of life and death, our human race should put aside all grudges, unite in hatred against the enemy, and jointly confront them to uphold the prestige of our human race in the seas!!"

At this moment, an extremely majestic voice emanated from Master Caiyun, instantly sweeping across a radius of a hundred miles and clearly reaching the ears of everyone.

"Currently, the battle on the front lines is intense. The Kunpeng clan has adopted a strategy of concentrated attrition. Low-level sea monsters are responsible for fiercely attacking the array barrier to deplete the array's spiritual energy, while high-level demonic beasts are besieging and attacking the core of the Overturning Sea Array. The situation is not optimistic!"

"Once the great formation is broken, countless sea monsters will flood in, and the island will be devastated. Our human race's thousand-year foundation on Pengsha Island will be destroyed. Therefore, I earnestly request that you all come with us to the front line to meet the powerful enemy together!" Caiyun Zhenren's voice was full of heaviness.

As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals, and a beam of light shot out, sending a warship flying towards him. The other Nascent Soul experts also unleashed their supernatural powers, summoning their respective mounts.

"We are willing to fight alongside our predecessors against the enemy!!"

"We are willing to fight alongside our predecessors against the enemy!!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately, responses rose and fell, the sound shaking the heavens.

Ao Ling witnessed this scene, her cherry lips slightly parted, her pretty face filled with emotion.

She had never seen such unity and solidarity within her tribe before, and this feeling of everyone working together to overcome difficulties deeply moved her!

No wonder the human race is so weak, yet it can still occupy a place at sea. There is a reason for this. In comparison, although the dragon race is powerful, it is already corrupt internally, with various factions vying for power.

If our people could be as united as the human race, how could we have been exploited by the Kunpeng clan and forced to flee to the Dragon Transformation Sea as if we were exiled?

Without saying much, Master Yu Ding glanced around and gave a strange smile in the direction of Han Li. He then cupped his hands and transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing into the sky.

"Let's go too."

Han Li naturally noticed the abnormality as well. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed Ao Ling's slender wrist, flying towards the direction of Baili Prefecture.

"Where are we going now? Aren't we going to the front lines to fight off the beast tide?"

Ao Ling was puzzled by Han Li's behavior, but just then, Han Li, who was flying away at high speed, suddenly stopped.

"Fellow Daoists who have received this message, please assemble in Caiyun Pavilion within half an incense stick's time. Latecomers will not be waited for!!"

Han Li stood quietly in front of the gate of Baili Mansion. As soon as he sensed the aura inside, his expression immediately became uncertain.

The next moment, a large hand suddenly pulled him into a side alley.

"Who are you!" Ao Lingfang immediately became alert upon sensing the aura emanating from the other party.

"Brother Han, where have you been all this time? You've made me worry for nothing. And who is this young lady...?" The man in black robes took off his hat, revealing a resolute face. It was Baili Qi.

"She is my younger sister, whom I lost many years ago. We got separated during our previous sea voyage, and I just found her... By the way, what exactly happened in the manor? Why are so many cultivators gathered here?"

Han Li chuckled and didn't reveal Ao Ling's true identity to Baili Qi. After all, he didn't know Baili Qi's stance, and to be on the safe side, he would wait until the beast tide was over before finding a way to tell him!

Bailiqi's gaze first swept over Han Li, then fell on Ao Ling behind him. His eyes lit up immediately. He had never seen such an extraordinary, elegant and refined woman before, and he was momentarily stunned.

"If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!!"

Ao Ling curled her lip, peeked out from behind Han Li, and said fiercely to Baili Qi.

Upon hearing this, Baili Qi shuddered, then belatedly realized what was happening. He gave an awkward smile and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Han Li.

"The story begins more than a month before Brother Han disappeared. Ever since Brother Han sent someone to lure us away from the mountain, quite a few cultivators have secretly visited my Baili family. There are even rumors that my Baili family sent Senior Wuyouzi to impersonate a mysterious person to lure us away from the mountain in order to monopolize the credit for finding the person."

“Originally, my Baili family could have ignored these matters, but we never expected that they would come to our door while the Nascent Soul cultivators on the island were out on a tour, demanding an explanation. We can’t tolerate being bullied like this, so we immediately started fighting with them.”

"Just as things were getting out of control, the senior from Jade Cauldron Pavilion suddenly arrived and stopped the fight in time, thus preventing the situation from spiraling out of control."

Bailiqi shook his head and gave a brief account of what had happened.

"You mean that Jade Cauldron Master from Jade Cauldron Pavilion once paid a visit?" Han Li frowned.

“That’s right. Senior Jade Cauldron Master not only stepped in to dispel these rumors for us, but also severely punished those who came to cause trouble. He even specifically asked to see you. Brother Han, what else are you hiding from me? Why would even a Nascent Soul cultivator personally come to visit you?”

As Bailiqi spoke, his gaze toward Han Li became increasingly complex.

Upon hearing this, Han Li remained silent, but pondered to himself.

In his view, all of this was too strange. A little over a month ago was the time when he and Ao Ling were hiding.

It seems that this Nascent Soul cultivator returned to Pengsha Island after his fruitless search, and just happened to run into someone who came looking for trouble. What a coincidence!

Most likely, this Nascent Soul expert couldn't find anyone, so he orchestrated this whole thing to lure him out.

If he hadn't met Ao Ling and accidentally learned his true identity, he would probably still be in the dark.

Han Li asked himself why he had been targeted by this Nascent Soul cultivator when he had never offended him.

"What then?"

"Later, the senior Yu Ding left something for me to pass on to you, saying that you would understand after reading it."

"what?"

Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this.

"This is it."

After a moment's thought, Baili Qi reached into his storage bag, took out a bronze piece, and handed it to Han Li.
