Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this.

"what?!"

Before he could even speak, Han Xuan, who was not far away, was already stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Senior, what is the reason for this? Did I do something wrong and offend you?"

He thought he had gained the other party's approval, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this. Suppressing the shock in his heart, Han Xuan remained silent for a moment before speaking again.

"It's not a collision, but have you considered that with Xiu'er's current cultivation level, rashly entering the Mingqing Spirit Liquid to cleanse her body would undoubtedly result in a near-death experience?"

"Even if the Holy Mountain has the power to shield the heavenly secrets of the tribulation, it is ultimately not a long-term solution. Do you intend to hide under the Holy Mountain for the rest of your lives?"

The primordial mermaid pursed his lips and responded indifferently.

"Are there any other methods besides this?"

Han Xuan didn't know much about the so-called Transformation Tribulation and other secrets involving cultivators.

Previously, Xiu Niang had told him that as long as they could go home and find the Mingqing Elixir, they could not only repair their physical injuries but also completely transform into human form, so that they could be together forever.

However, he was not told the slightest bit about the dangers involved.

After fully understanding the situation, Han Xuan's originally firm resolve began to waver.

Although he longed to be with Xiu Niang forever, he didn't want her to risk her life to do all this. In comparison, he hoped she could live a good life.

"Other methods...heh, there are some."

"What is it?"

Han Xuan hurriedly pressed for more information.

"Hehe, it's actually very simple. My mermaid clan has a secret technique. With the power of this technique, I am 50% confident that I can completely stabilize my injuries. In that case, there is no need to use the Mingqing Spirit Liquid."

"However, the drawbacks of this secret technique are also very obvious. In addition to consuming a great deal of magical energy, it also requires several rare and unusual spiritual medicines as an aid."

"Once Xiu'er's injuries have stabilized and her cultivation has fully recovered, she can go to the Mingqing Spirit Spring to undergo the Transformation Lightning Tribulation. In this way, all the problems will naturally be solved."

But finding these rare and precious medicinal herbs is no easy task. It could take decades, or even centuries, to complete. You are but a mortal; can you wait that long?

The ancestor of mermaids' eyes flickered slightly, and he uttered something that shocked everyone.

It is obvious that with Xiu Niang's current physical condition, once she enters the Mingqing Spiritual Spring, not only will her cultivation be washed away, but she will also be trapped within the Holy Mountain area forever.

Transforming into human form is no easy feat. Once a demon beast leaves the protection of the sacred mountain, the tribulation lightning of transformation will immediately descend.

The safest solution is what this senior merman suggested, but if they really did that, wouldn't the two of them be...?

Thinking of this, Han Xuan unconsciously clenched his fist.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

Although he loved Xiu Niang very much, he couldn't be so selfish. Perhaps the elder was right: humans and demons are different, immortals and mortals are distinct, and many things are often beyond human control.

He only hoped that Xiu Niang could live a good life and that her life was not in danger. That was enough for him. How could he ask for anything more?

Han Xuan opened his mouth, about to say something, but a clear voice rang out first.

"I do not want to!"

In mid-air, two figures sped towards them from the distant sky.

The visitors were none other than the siblings Longya and Wanxiu.

As soon as Wan Xiufang stopped, she quickly walked up to Han Xuan and tightly grasped his cold palm, immediately feeling a warm sensation.

“Ancestor, I disagree with what you just said. Xiu Niang knows her own aptitude. You always said that all of this was for the sake of immortality and the glory of the clan, but how many people throughout history have actually succeeded in ascending to immortality?”

"Rather than burying your beloved with your own hands for the illusory path to immortality, it's better to live as an ordinary person and stay with your loved one forever, cherishing every day you spend together."

"presumptuous!"

Upon hearing this, the clan elder frowned and sternly shouted. Just as he was about to say something, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Han Li's cold gaze.

Recalling the various methods that the human cultivator had previously displayed, he couldn't help but shudder inwardly, and ultimately could only swallow back the words that were about to slip out.

"Putting aside everything else, just considering the consequences of using that Creation Technique on the caster, the elders should know this better than I do."

"If it weren't for Senior Han's tireless efforts in maintaining my injuries during this time, Xiu Niang would probably have died tragically on the journey, and how could she have returned safely to the clan?"

"Moreover, I promised Senior Han that I would get the Mingqing Spirit Liquid for him as a reward. Right now, there are no demon seniors in the clan who are about to transform into human form, so the only way is to lie down in the Spirit Transformation Pool. Anyway, I will lose my cultivation sooner or later, so what difference does it make whether it is sooner or later?"

Yuanling shook her head, a rare look of determination appearing between her usually gentle and mild brows.

“Sister…”

Longya was taken aback when he heard his sister say that.

My younger sister, in my memory, was a crybaby.

She would be heartbroken for a long time if she accidentally stepped on a passing crab, but she would laugh heartlessly because of the pearl necklace she gave her.

After all these years, this is the first time he has seen his sister look like this.

The adorable little girl from back then has finally grown up!

Having made her own choice, just like him, she was determined to do what she believed in, and even if she encountered setbacks, she could laugh it off.

Despite the ridicule and incomprehension from others in the clan, his steps never wavered, and he forged ahead relentlessly.

"Han Lang, would you like to come with me?"

Just as Longya was in a daze, he suddenly heard Wanxiu's gentle yet earnest voice.

"I'm willing, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Han Xuan looked at the woman in front of him, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse her. Instead, he blurted out these words as if possessed.

Upon hearing Han Xuan's reply, Wan Xiu smiled, a smile that was both captivating and breathtaking.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what do you mean?"

The elders of the mermaid clan present all looked rather grim.

The primordial mermaid looked around and naturally noticed everyone's expressions, then suddenly asked a question.

With everyone present at the Core Formation stage, what difference does it make whether the two agree or not? It's just a matter of using the Bewitching Technique a few more times!

With their cultivation levels, making a low-level demon beast or a mere mortal forget something is easier than drinking water for them.

Therefore, the most important thing is the opinion of this human fellow Daoist Han Li.

"Opinion? What opinion can I have? What's wrong with letting young people decide their own affairs?"

Han Li noticed that the Mermaid Ancestor didn't bother to ask Wanxiu and the other person's opinions, but instead, contrary to his usual behavior, came to ask him.

After a moment's thought, he understood the meaning behind the other person's words, and gently placed the wine glass on the table, making a crisp tapping sound.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was resounding.

“I never expected that you, fellow Daoist, would be such a kind and righteous person. In that case, let’s drop the previous proposal! However, since Xiu Niang promised the Mingqing Spirit Spring, my mermaid clan will not go back on its word.”

"However, I would be most grateful if you would not reveal our whereabouts here!"

"Of course!" Han Li nodded and said calmly.

The Mermaid Ancestor sighed, finished his wine, and slowly stood up. He walked to Han Xuan and the other man, giving them a meaningful look.

"You'd better watch yourselves!"

With that, he patted Han Xuan on the shoulder and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.

The other elders snorted coldly, gave Han Li a perfunctory bow, and then followed.
