Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

From within the distorted water curtain, several giant monsters wielding strange, massive tridents slowly emerged.

Behind him, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the previously empty void.

As the golden light flowed, a wild and chilling pressure was slowly released; it was actually an ancient black and gold mirror.

The moment this black and gold ancient mirror appeared, it immediately caused a surge of spiritual energy in the surrounding world, drawing all the Buddhist light and aura within a radius of more than ten miles to converge into a single point. After a moment of condensation, it transformed into strange Sanskrit musical characters.

Magnificent and vast.

Just as Han Li was intently observing, a magnificent voice suddenly rang out:

"You human cultivators haven't changed at all over the years. My merfolk treated you with such hospitality, yet you betrayed me so easily. And this time you even brought so many people!"

Amidst the golden runes filling the sky, a majestic mermaid wearing a light blue and golden crown slowly emerged, coldly glancing at Han Li and the others not far away.

His gaze randomly fell on the strange black ball of light that was struggling and wailing in his hand. The moment the Buddha's light came into contact with the black ball of light, it was as if a chemical reaction was taking place, and puffs of white smoke rose up!

From within came the wailing and pleading of the Barefoot Man:

"Senior, spare my life!!"

Faced with the barefoot immortal's pleas for mercy, the merman progenitor showed no expression on his face. He opened his small mouth and emitted bursts of golden sound waves.

Under the suppression of the Great Sound of Buddhism, the Barefoot True Man could only struggle to hold on, powerless to resist.

The original black sphere of light shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a glacier melting, and in an instant it was only the size of an egg.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and glanced at the several Core Formation demonic beasts nearby, showing no fear on his face.

At this moment, the Mountain-Moving Taoist and the Crab Taoist returned, hovering beside Han Li like two enormous mountains.

A roar that shook the heavens like a thousand thunderbolts.

It has the sound of muscles and bones resonating together, and the power to shake the heavens!

"Hehe, senior is right. Human cultivators are indeed despicable, but do nobles secretly harm others? Is that the behavior of a gentleman?"

Han Li sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist, a flash of purple-gold light appeared behind him, and he suddenly threw a punch into the void.

The surrounding void twisted and trembled, and after a loud cracking sound, the surrounding scenery immediately distorted and collapsed, with golden mirror runes scattered all over the ground.

"What!!"

At this moment, outside the Holy Mirror, the Mermaid Ancestor was utterly shocked.

She never expected that the innate divine power attached to the Holy Mirror, the Mirror Transformation Technique, would be so easily seen through by a human cultivator and destroyed with overwhelming force!

Back then, the Holy Lord, relying on this mirror, even managed to fight against multiple cultivators of the same level without being at a disadvantage.

Even if she couldn't fully utilize the mirror's power with her current cultivation level, it wasn't something an ordinary cultivator could easily break through!

Upon hearing Han Li's voice, the Mermaid Ancestor immediately felt dizzy.

"You, you actually concealed your cultivation level! You're a Nascent Soul cultivator!!"

Looking at the figure in green robes standing in mid-air not far away, the Mermaid Ancestor's pupils suddenly contracted.

This feeling was absolutely correct. Although she had only broken through the mirror's supernatural power for less than a moment, she still keenly sensed the divine consciousness of the person in front of her.

That feeling is like a stream facing a river, lake, or sea—unfathomable and something that a mere Core Formation cultivator could never possess!

If it really is a Nascent Soul cultivator, then it makes sense. After all, with the terrifying divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would not be difficult for them to see through the weakness of this mirror's divine power.

No matter how powerful a magical artifact is, its effectiveness still depends on the user's cultivation level.

Even if the demons, with their Core Formation cultivation, joined forces to use this mirror to destroy the enemy, they would never be able to trap a Nascent Soul expert.

Thinking of this, the primordial mermaid felt a sense of powerlessness.

Although she had long anticipated this day would come, she never expected it to arrive so soon!

Upon hearing what the Ancestor said, everyone present tensed up, staring intently at the seemingly inconspicuous blue figure not far away, as if facing a formidable enemy.

They showed no intention of backing down.

Looking at the tense yet united merfolk around him, Han Li's expression turned strange.

Before anyone could react, the Crab Taoist, who had been lying prostrate to their side, suddenly burst into a brilliant golden light!

The mysterious and complex puppet runes engraved on its body surface were clearly revealed, and after a moment of solidification, several golden orbs of light, each over ten feet in size, appeared from them.

As the golden sphere appeared, a great whooshing sound arose all around.

This sudden turn of events sent chills down everyone's spines. They hurriedly channeled their magical power into the sacred mirror, hoping to use it to defend against the attack.

Just as the demons were on high alert and focused on defense, the expected attack failed to materialize.

Looking up, they saw the golden sphere of light, which had grown to tens of feet in size, gradually dissipate, revealing the figures of a man and a woman.

The man had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were full of determination.

On the contrary, when everyone saw the woman's face, they were all shocked and remained stunned for a long time.

These two people were none other than Yuanxiu and Hanxuan.

"Sister, is it really you? Am I dreaming?!"

Just then, a voice came from the distant sky.

The newcomer wielded a giant trident, wore a five-piece golden armor, stood over ten feet tall, and had long hair that danced in the wind, making him look incredibly imposing.

This person was none other than Longya, who rushed over upon hearing the news!

Behind him were more than ten young men and women, all of whom were at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage.

Even knowing that this battle might be a one-way trip, they still went forward without hesitation.

I thought it would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I arrived.

This caused Longa to loosen his grip on the steel fork slightly.

"Ancestor, Brother Longya, it's me, I'm back!"

Yuanxiu's eyes were already blurry with tears.

She could clearly see everything that had just happened inside Crab Daoist's body.

“Sister, all these years have passed. Do you know how much I miss you? Every time I think of you, I go to Muhua Island because that's where we grew up together. There have even been times when I wanted to go out and find you directly.”

"Because I always believed that you would never get into trouble. It's truly a blessing from heaven that you and I, brother and sister, were reunited."

As Longya spoke, his gaze fell on Han Xuan, who was standing next to Yuanxiu.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, I advise you to release my sister right now, or you'll regret it!"

Although this person has no trace of cultivation, how could someone who has come to this place be someone to be trifled with?

He suddenly raised the giant trident in his hand, pointing it directly at Han Li. The aura of a pseudo-core-level demon beast was immediately released and pressed heavily towards Han Li's location.

Han Xuan had never seen such a sight before, and was so frightened by the oppressive aura that his face turned pale.

"Hehe, you youngsters are quite interesting."

At this moment, a cold snort sounded.

As the voice rang out, Han Xuan, who had been stiff and stunned, finally caught his breath.

At this moment, Han Li appeared beside him at some point, nodded slightly, and slowly stepped out.

An incredibly powerful divine sense swept over everyone present, causing a chill to run down their spines.

"Senior Han, please have mercy. Brother Longya did not mean to offend you. Please allow me to explain to my clan."

Having witnessed the supernatural powers of Crab Daoist and Mountain Moving Daoist, Wanxiu hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy, then slowly released Han Xuan's hand and bowed to Han Li.

Han Li calmly observed the woman before him, his face expressionless.

Upon witnessing this scene, Han Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and also bowed deeply to Han Li.

"Very well, ignorance is no excuse. I will not make things difficult for these juniors. This time, I will help you return to your clan. Firstly, I will see what the atmosphere is like in this legendary, supposedly extinct mermaid clan. It seems that you have not disappointed me."

"As for the second point, young lady, don't forget your previous promise."

Han Li smiled gently, suppressed his aura, and spoke calmly.

"Please rest assured, senior. I will definitely do what I promised."

Wanxiu nodded and responded respectfully.

After saying that, in full view of everyone, she gave Han Xuan a sweet kiss, her body shimmering with spiritual light, and she flew into the air on a flying sword.

Feeling the warmth on his face, Han Xuan turned around and saw his great-grandfather with a half-smile. He couldn't help but blush and feel embarrassed.

Han Li laughed heartily at this, took out a set of chairs and stools from his storage bag, placed them on the Crab Daoist's shell, and sat down without caring what others thought.

"Han Xuan, Han Xuan, come sit next to your great-grandmother!"

While Han Xuan was in a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw that "great-grandmother" Ao Ling waving at him with a mischievous smile.

Thinking back to the "true face" of his great-grandmother that he had seen before, Han Xuan couldn't help but shudder, but he still forced himself to sit on the stool next to Ao Ling, looking extremely reserved.

A short while later...

It is unknown what Yuanxiu said to the merman progenitor and his group, but after hearing Yuanxiu's words, the expressions of everyone present softened considerably, and the previous tension disappeared.

"Fellow Daoists, since you're here, come down and have a chat with me!"

Seeing that the demons had finished chatting, Han Li cleared his throat and sent a telepathic message.

"Our Ancestor, what do we do now?"

Among the elders of the mermaid clan, an old man stroked his beard and spoke calmly.

"Xiuer, so many years have passed, and it should be a happy thing that you have returned safely. But you have seen what just happened. The human race is an extremely fickle race. Even if what they promised you at the time was true, it is hard to guarantee that they will not change their minds later."

"That Fellow Daoist Wang from before was just like that. He promised not to leak any information about our clan, but only a few years have passed, and he has led so many people to invade our clan's territory."

As for that Han Lang you mentioned, putting aside the fact that you two are inherently different between humans and demons, the very difference between immortals and mortals is not something that just anyone can easily overcome.

"He's alright, he's just a mortal, he'll return to dust after a hundred years. But what about you? You still have so much time and youth to live. There are so many talented young people in the clan, why hang yourself on one tree?"

"That's all I have to say. Think it over carefully! As for the other elders, come with me to meet this Fellow Daoist Han!"

The ancestor of mermaids spoke a few words of earnest advice, but when she saw the determination in Wanxiu's eyes, she wisely refrained from saying anything more.

With a burst of light emanating from his body, he took the lead and descended towards the enormous "golden island" that covered a hundred feet below.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the others all became solemn. One of the elders patted Wanxiu on the shoulder with a kind expression and followed suit.

"Brother, do you think the same way they do?"

After everyone left, Yuanxiu finally turned her gaze to the tall young man not far away.

Her pitiful appearance was so touching that it moved everyone present.

"Regardless of what others think, just be yourself. If anyone dares to gossip behind your back, I, Longya, will be the first to punish them!!"

Longya looked around, then at the young prodigy beside him, and gave him a solemn warning.

His body exudes a subtle yet powerful aura that cannot be ignored.

"So, brother, you're agreeing?"

Upon hearing this, Wanxiu immediately showed a look of joy.

"That depends on how your ideal husband behaves."

Longya smiled innocently, his aura subdued, and he reached out to stroke his silly little sister's hair, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, on the golden carapace of the Crab Taoist.

The Mountain-Moving Taoist stood quietly behind Han Li, the sea breeze ruffling his golden hair. As for Ao Ling, she was chatting incessantly with Han Xuan.

The conversation mainly revolved around interesting stories about the human race.

Of course, they also subtly inquired about Han Li's weaknesses.

Han Xuan and Han Li had only met a few times, so how could he know much more? This made Ao Ling feel quite bored.

Just then, Han Li, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Several streaks of light rushed down from the sky, and the mermaid demon's original form shrank rapidly into human shape, landing steadily on the golden island.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a seat."

Han Li smiled and commanded several Foundation Establishment stage puppets to carry out delicious food and wine from the Crab Daoist's cabin, arranging them neatly on the nanmu tables on both sides.

A faint aroma of wine filled the air.

"A century-old insect spirit wine, haha, fellow Daoist is truly generous! In that case, we will not stand on ceremony."

Seeing Han Li's polite manner, the merfolk elders and others no longer hesitated and plopped down on the bench.

Gazing at the amber-colored nectar in the glass, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Hehe, it's just a little thing I brewed myself, nothing to brag about. I apologize for my previous offense, fellow Daoists!"

Han Li chuckled at this.

Speaking of this Insect Spirit Wine, it was brewed back in the cave of Jiaowo Mountain when I had just established my foundation. Now, it has been more than a hundred years. Time really flies!

As he spoke, Han Li took a small sip of the wine in his glass and raised it to indicate that everyone should feel free to drink as they pleased.

"I never expected that, in addition to being proficient in puppetry, you also know how to brew wine. This wine is slightly bitter when you first drink it, but then it is mixed with a hint of sweetness. It has the miraculous effect of turning adversity into fortune and turning the tide."

"This shows the excellence of your brewing skills, fellow Daoist."

The primordial mermaid nodded slightly, a golden light flashing in his eyes, and spoke calmly.
