Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

The battle in the morning was a contest between two cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

One of these two is skilled in basic Five Elements magic, which is extremely simple and crude, such as the most basic fireball spell, wooden spike spell, and water gun spell. Although individually they are not very powerful, their power is greatly enhanced when released according to the principle of mutual generation of the Five Elements.

The other person specializes in earth-based techniques, possessing unparalleled mastery of sand and dust manipulation, which seems to incorporate sharp metal energy, suggesting he is a cultivator from Danyang Valley.

The cultivators of Danyang Valley specialize in earth-based magic and are particularly skilled in alchemy. Han Li's previous incarnations owed his exceptional alchemy skills to joining Danyang Valley.

When earth-based magic is cultivated to its highest level, one can master the laws of gravity and earth. The combination of these two laws often produces remarkable effects.

Unfortunately, very few cultivators can truly master and integrate these two laws. Cultivating even one law is difficult enough, let alone two.

Therefore, earth-element cultivators generally choose one of these two laws to master, while using the other as a supplementary method.

The duel between the two was quite spectacular, but Han Li only glanced at it briefly before looking away.

Of these twenty-odd arenas, only a handful of people truly posed a threat to Han Li.

These individuals are none other than Li Qinglin, a renowned figure from the Zhushan Sect; Xiao Qianjue from the Jinhong Sword Sect; Jiao Fei from the Lihuo Sect; and others.

Han Li had already witnessed Xiao Qianjue's strength when they were at the Imperial Sword Sect ruins. His ability to escape from the pursuit of the demonic sect was a testament to his power.

Those who are sent by their sects to participate in the Ascension Conference are certainly not weaklings.

Besides the top Qi Refining cultivators from the five major sects, the disciples from various cultivation families should not be underestimated.

For example, on the second arena, a burly man in a red Taoist robe was sparring with a short cultivator.

This man was nine feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His muscular body shone with a bronze metallic luster under the spiritual energy. His attack method was very special. He did not use spiritual energy or magic to fight back, but rather engaged in close-quarters combat.

The short cultivator who fought him was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his supernatural abilities and spells were by no means weak. However, he was defeated by that person in just a few rounds, and his protective aura and magic treasures were shattered by a single palm strike.

This person could even shatter high-grade talismanic artifacts and magical treasures. His physical body was already approaching the second level of the Body Tempering Technique. Han Li knew that he was no match for this person in terms of physical strength alone.

Besides these people, there are also disciples from prominent families like the Ni family. These people are no pushovers; it seems they'll have to show some real skills at this Ascension Ceremony.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad. This year's Ascension Ceremony is much better than the last one. Especially that cultivator from the Baili family, who is also at the peak of Qi Refining, couldn't even last ten rounds against him. Your Baili family has really produced a good seedling this time."

In the Lin family, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple Taoist robe smiled, his eyes flashing with purple light as he looked down at the burly man in red who was displaying great power. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you flatter me. The strength of your Lin family member is not to be underestimated. Such a powerful divine sense appearing on a Qi Refining stage disciple is something I would never have believed if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Baili Changsheng said with a smile.

"Who do you think will win the championship this time?" At this moment, the old man in the blue robe stroked his beard and said slowly.

"What are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist Green Snake?"

Ni Zhendong smiled and responded slowly.

"Among these Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators, it's a 50/50 chance. Whether it's the one from the Baili family or the one from the Li Huo Sect, their strength is not to be underestimated. However, in my opinion, Xiao Qianjue's chances of winning should be higher."

"Oh? What makes you say that, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan?" The Lord of Yifeng City smiled and looked at Zhenyuanzi.

"Hehe, I'm sure you all know this. In battles between cultivators, magic treasures, pills, supernatural powers, and cultivation techniques are all indispensable. When cultivation levels and magical power are similar, external forces can often become the key factors in determining the outcome."

"I'm sure you all know a little about what happened at the Imperial Sword Sect. My disciple obtained quite a few treasures from it. Among them, there just happened to be a top-tier magic weapon that suited him perfectly. You should know that the difference between a top-tier talisman and a top-tier magic weapon is not small at all."

"With the powerful enhancement of this magic weapon, how could a Qi Refining cultivator possibly be its match?"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said something that surprised everyone present.

"Hmph, even so, with that kid's Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivation, how could he possibly unleash the full power of a top-tier magic weapon? Even with the support of a top-tier magic weapon, my disciple might not necessarily lose."

Master Cangkun snorted coldly and said.

Even so, Venerable Cangkun couldn't help but feel a little worried.

According to the rules of the Ascension Ceremony, if a cultivator uses their own magic weapon from the five major sects or various cultivation families, they can only bring up to the highest level of top-tier talismanic artifacts. Of course, if a cultivator has their own fortuitous encounter or personally crafts a magic weapon, the organizers will not interfere.

Clearly, Xiao Qianjue's situation was not against the rules, since they had all heard about the matter of the Imperial Sword Sect to some extent.

As for why the news was blocked, it was probably for the sake of saving face for each faction. After all, it was not a glorious thing for those demonic bastards to take advantage of the situation right under their noses.

Of course, only the Nascent Soul cultivators of each sect probably know the inside story as to the specific reasons.

After a hearty meal and drinks, the conference continued.

"The first match this afternoon on Arena No. 3 will be between Hao Le (No. 132) and Peng Fei (No. 156)!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and walked slowly towards the arena.

Upon seeing this, Pengfei's lips curled up slightly, his body radiating spiritual light. He then took a step forward and landed on the arena.

"Jinzhi, look! It's Senior Brother Han!"

Seeing Han Li enter the arena, Feng Yuye was very excited and grabbed Feng Jinzhi's arm, tightening her grip slightly.

"Boy, I'll make you pay for your arrogance."

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Pengfei shouted loudly, giving Han Li no time to catch his breath, and immediately took the initiative to attack.

A fierce wind swept around the entire No. 3 arena.

With a flick of his hand, several invisible energy blades spun and alternated, heading towards Han Li to kill him.

"It's actually a wind spirit root!"

Han Li was also somewhat surprised to see this.

Most cultivators possess the five elemental spiritual roots, and it is extremely rare for them to have unusual spiritual roots such as wind or thunder. However, the spells and supernatural abilities performed by those with such spiritual roots are equally formidable.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, unleashed the Luo Yan Step, and transformed into a ghostly figure, instantly disappearing from the spot.

At the same time, countless fireballs condensed and hurled towards Pengfei.

"it's useless."

Upon seeing this, Pengfei snorted coldly, and his magical power surged forth. Relying on his control over the wind, he actually blew back the fireball technique released by Han Li.

Upon seeing this, Han Li's lips curled up slightly.

A layer of cyan light instantly condensed, enveloping his entire body, remaining unmoved no matter how the fireballs and gale attacked.

In an instant, dust billowed all around, and the two figures disappeared from sight.

Two figures could be vaguely seen clashing violently in the dust and wind, appearing to be evenly matched.

After the smoke cleared, a man in a blue robe was seen kneeling on the ground, looking extremely disheveled, while another man stood motionless in place.

"thump!"

Han Li slowly stood up, his face extremely pale, looking as if he had exhausted himself.

At the same time, Pengfei, who had been standing, suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness.

"Hao Le (No. 132) vs. Peng Fei (No. 156), No. 132 wins!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Han Li stumbled off the stage in a disheveled state.

"We won! We won! Senior Brother Han won!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Yuye was so happy that she danced with joy.

"I never expected this kid to have some skill. But he won so badly in the first match, he definitely has no hope for the next few matches."

Feng Jinzhi pouted, still looking unconvinced even though Han Li had won the match.

"This fellow Daoist possesses astonishing supernatural skills and has a perfect grasp of the battle situation, managing to defeat a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator while only at the Qi Refining Level 7."

As soon as Han Li stepped off the stage, he encountered that Foundation Establishment stage senior.

"Senior is too kind. I was just lucky."

"Hehe, although I don't know how you managed to conceal your aura to such an extent, some things are destined to be impossible to keep quiet. What I didn't expect was that the little guy from back then would have such a high level of cultivation in such a short time. He really has a lot of good fortune."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator chuckled, his gaze towards Han Li filled with admiration.

"Senior, you recognized me?"

Han Li was taken aback.

"I only just recognized you too. But speaking of which, your ability to conceal your aura is truly remarkable. I didn't recognize you at first glance. If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't hide your aura during a battle, even I would have had difficulty detecting you."

"I had some good fortune in my early years, and I apologize for making you laugh, senior." Han Li smiled, subtly sizing up the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Hehe, you don't need to be too nervous. With your cultivation level, winning two matches in a row shouldn't be a problem." The middle-aged man laughed and patted Han Li on the shoulder.
