Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"I do have that idea. After all, it's the legacy of an ancient Buddhist cultivator. It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted. But so much time has passed, whether I can actually find it is another matter. Let's leave it to fate!"

Han Li waved his hand, his gaze falling on the shimmering sea not far away, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

His interest in this Buddhist supernatural power stemmed not only from its ability to suppress his malevolent energy, but more importantly, from his connection to the Mountain Moving Taoist.

Since absorbing the Yin Spirit Demon Core obtained from Tianzhu Mountain, the Mountain Moving Taoist seems to have undergone some unknown mutation, enabling him to withstand both the power of the True Demon and the power of the Ancient Buddha at the same time.

If the true reason behind this can be found out, it will be of great benefit to both the Mountain Moving Taoist and himself!

After all, the righteous and the demonic paths have always been at odds since ancient times, and the same is true for the demonic and the Buddhist paths.

That is why no one has ever truly mastered both of these powers at the same time.

There have been powerful cultivators who attempted to completely merge demonic energy and the power of the ancient Buddha, but without exception, they either suffered from qi deviation or perished in the confrontation between the two powerful forces.

Now, Han Li actually saw hope in the Mountain Moving Taoist, how could he not be excited?

Looking at Han Li's indifferent expression, Wanxiu's phoenix eyes flashed with a complex look, and she parted her red lips as if about to say something.

At this moment, Han Li stood up, his gaze calmly fixed on a seemingly inconspicuous, deserted corner, and suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoists have been listening for so long without even saying hello. This kind of uninvited arrival is not a good habit."

Upon hearing this, Wanxiu and the others were all taken aback. They looked around, but on the calm sea, apart from the huge spirit boat floating quietly in front of them, there was nothing else in sight. This made them look at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh? It seems you fellow Daoists are unwilling to come out for a chat. Do you intend for me to drag you all out one by one?"

Seeing that the other party did not make a move for a long time, Han Li slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and his tone suddenly became a bit gloomy.

His body emanated a terrifying spiritual pressure that sent chills down one's spine, as if he were about to make a move at any moment.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, please. We have come uninvited, please forgive us!"

To the astonishment of Wanxiu and the others, ripples suddenly appeared on the previously empty sea surface, followed by a thick fog that billowed out. As the fog churned, a man in hemp clothing with a bare upper garment emerged from it.

As soon as the man in hemp clothing appeared, a burst of light emanated from his body, and he appeared not far from the opposite side of the spirit boat in a flash. He then cupped his hands in greeting to Han Li and the others.

Almost simultaneously, another burst of light appeared in mid-air, and after a moment, a burly man wielding a giant trident appeared. At the beckoning of the man in hemp clothing, he reluctantly cupped his hands to Han Li and the others.

"It's not about atonement, but you two have been following us for so long, is there something you need?"

"Could it be that seeing how remote this place is, they've decided to kill and rob the treasure?"

As Han Li was speaking, he suddenly changed his tone and his voice instantly became sharp.

Upon hearing this, Ao Ling's gaze shifted slightly, and her eyes turned increasingly hostile as she looked at the newcomer.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you jest. I am Wang Qing of the Qingling Sect, and this is Wu Sanxian, the leader of the Sanxian Sect. We are traveling together to hunt some Core Formation demon beasts and just happened to pass by this place. We have no ill intentions towards you."

The man in hemp clothing named Wang Qing chuckled, his gaze casually sweeping over the round wooden table behind the group. He was immediately startled, but remained outwardly calm, continuing:

"Seeing that you are coming from the east, could you also be a cultivator from Ningzhou Continent? If so, that would be wonderful. To tell you the truth, not long ago my brother and I encountered a level six Abyss Shrimp at sea and have been chasing it all the way."

"If you don't mind, fellow Daoist, why don't you team up with us? Aside from this beast, I only want its demon core; you two can split the rest of the demon beast materials equally, how about that?"

Ignoring the burly man's frantic gestures, Wang Qing cupped his hands in greeting and spoke to himself.

"There's no need to hunt monsters. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced coldly at the two of them, flicked his sleeves, and refused to say anything more.

The next moment, a surge of azure spiritual light burst forth, instantly enveloping the entire spirit boat, making it impossible to see anything inside. It then immediately broke through the air and disappeared into the sea.

As the spirit boat gradually disappeared into the distance, Wang Qing's originally smiling face gradually turned gloomy.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what do you mean by this? Didn't we agree to split the spoils equally, with each of us working together to eliminate the people on the spirit boat after we've gathered all the information? Why are you suddenly going back on your word?"

"This person is merely a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation. With our combined cultivation levels, capturing him would be a piece of cake!"

Wu Sanxian frowned, looking in the direction where the spirit boat had disappeared, his eyes filled with killing intent.

In his view, as long as Han Li is dealt with, the rest are no threat!

"Hmph, do you think it's because I didn't want to make a move? I went to great lengths to set up a trap ahead, but I didn't expect this person to discover the clues, and all my efforts were in vain!"

"However, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. If I'm not mistaken, what was just on the table should have been a level six giant crab-type monster, and it looked quite fresh."

"This person was able to kill such a powerful monster all by himself. Who knows if he has hidden his cultivation level? Don't forget the purpose of our trip here." Wang Qing frowned and said calmly.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, it's just a pity about that fourth-grade spirit boat. But speaking of which, is what Fellow Daoist Wang said true? Didn't the mermaid race become extinct in ancient times? How could they suddenly reappear?" Wu Sanxian paused, sighed, and then changed the subject.

"You ask me how I would know? Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I have already contacted several other familiar fellow Daoists. When the time comes, we will know whether it is true or false!"

As Wang Qing spoke, he muttered a few words in a low voice, appearing confident and prepared.

Upon hearing Wang Qing's words, Wu Sanxian's face immediately lit up with joy.

"If they really are merfolk, with so many fish demons, wouldn't we be able to obtain hundreds of demon cores at once? With so many demon core resources, we've struck it rich this time!"

"Judging from the clothes of that person just now, he also seems to be from Ningzhou Continent. He has traveled thousands of miles to come here. Could it be that the news has been leaked?"

"I know a little about the Core Formation cultivators in Linzhou, but this person looks so unfamiliar. He's probably just some random cultivator who popped out of some mountain village!"

"If this person is truly here for the mermaid beast's resources, I wouldn't mind letting him know what it means to suffer the consequences!" Wang Qing snorted coldly, his tone filled with killing intent.
