Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"What, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, do you know this young friend Hao?"

Yi Xiangtian paused, then chuckled, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"We met once before."

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard, picked up the spirit wine on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hehe, what a coincidence. My Ni family also has a connection with this young friend, and we know more about him than you do. However, I can assure you that although this young man is a bit cautious, he is definitely not a demonic cultivator. You can all rest assured."

Ni Zhendong pursed his lips and said slowly.

Although I don't know why Han Li changed his name and appearance, it's probably to avoid things like murder and robbery. He doesn't even admit it himself, so why should I bother?

However, even Ni Zhendong himself did not expect that the little guy back then not only had amazing attainments in supernatural skills and techniques, but also had strong cultivation talent and unique understanding of formations.

Without guidance from a master, he would never have believed that a rogue cultivator could have reached this level on his own. It seems the young man has had quite a bit of good fortune since leaving the Ni family!

The thought that this little guy in front of him might be related to Wei Wuji, the legendary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, made Ni Zhendong's eyes burn with desire.

"Hmm, judging from the talent and abilities this little fellow has displayed, he is indeed very suitable for our five major sects. However, we shouldn't break the rules; let's see how his destiny unfolds!"

In the past, anyone who could win the Ascension Assembly, as long as they were a rogue cultivator and regardless of their cultivation level or aptitude, could be admitted through special privileges.

Han Li now possesses the qualifications, but besides Han Li, there is another rogue cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining who has entered the top three.

Judging from his appearance, he is probably around thirty-five years old. This is his last chance to participate in the Ascension Conference and join one of the five major sects, so he cannot afford to miss it and is prepared to give it his all.

To Han Li's surprise, he was fortunate enough to receive a bye in the next three-way battle. And the opponent of that rogue cultivator was none other than Baili Qi, who was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

In this epic battle, Bailiqi, relying on his powerful physique and a variety of supernatural abilities and techniques, unsurprisingly defeated the rogue cultivator.

Baili Qi was born into the renowned Baili family, a family that has focused on physical cultivation for generations, with various physical cultivation techniques passed down within the family, emphasizing the principle of overcoming all techniques with brute force. This has led many to mistakenly believe that the Baili family is not skilled in magic or supernatural abilities.

But seeing it today, it seems that this is not the case.

Baili Qi is extraordinary in both physical skills and magical treasures. He is no weaker than Xiao Qianjue, and Han Li knows he is no match for him on this arena.

Because of his previous bye, Han Li effortlessly became the runner-up. As for his battle with Bai Liqi, he surrendered and admitted defeat, which caused an uproar among the audience in the stands.

In what used to be an incredibly difficult battle for the top three, one player suffered a complete defeat and another surrendered, making it only natural for Bailiqi to take first place.

"Young friend Hao, are you sure you want to surrender and admit defeat?"

Upon hearing Han Li's answer, the middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator was taken aback at first, and then asked again.

"This Fellow Daoist Baili possesses astonishing physical strength and supernatural abilities; I know I am no match for him... Does the Ascension Conference not allow surrender?"

On the giant arena, Han Li clasped his hands in a fist salute, looked at the burly man in red in front of him, and showed a hint of shyness on his face.

"No, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

"Everyone, since Fellow Daoist Hao has voluntarily surrendered, I hereby announce that the champion of the 32nd Ascension Tournament is Baili Qi from the Baili family of Guangling City! The second place goes to the rogue cultivator Hao Le, and the third place to the rogue cultivator Li Guang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience erupted in applause and firecrackers went off.

Below the stands, Feng Yuye danced with joy, linking arms with Feng Jinzhi, her face beaming with excitement.

Seeing this, Feng Jinzhi pouted, still looking unconvinced even though Han Li had achieved second place.

As the giant arena continued to rise, it eventually reached the stands where the Core Formation stage cultivators were located.

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator walked gracefully to the three of them, carrying a small bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills covered with a red cloth and a storage bag.

"Grandson, you did well. Winning the championship at this Ascension Conference is enough to prove your skill in the Qi Refining stage. However, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity and strive to successfully establish your foundation as soon as possible."

Baili Changsheng smiled, then patted Baili Qi on the shoulder, and then unveiled the red cloth, handing Baili Qi a small bottle containing three Foundation Establishment Pills and a storage bag containing spirit stones.

His aged face was full of smiles.

"Hehe, young friend, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Just as Han Li was in a daze, a hearty laugh rang out, and Zhen Yuanzi and the others stepped forward with smiles on their faces, looking Han Li up and down and nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

"Junior Hao Le greets all seniors!"

Han Li dared not presume and immediately bowed.

"Hehe, you kid, with your Qi Refining Level 10 cultivation, you've made it into the top three. This is unprecedented in the Ascension Tournament, which has been around for hundreds of years."

"With the talent you've shown so far, being a rogue cultivator is no longer suitable for you. How about you consider joining one of our five major sects to learn more advanced techniques?"

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard, showing no anger at Han Li for defeating his disciple. Instead, he extended an invitation.

In fact, the cultivators of the five major sects all knew that it would be detrimental to them if someone from a cultivation family won the championship. However, fortunately, two promising talents emerged this time, especially Han Li.

Although Han Li ultimately surrendered, it was to be expected. After all, the difference in cultivation level was undeniable. If Han Li had also reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, the outcome would have been far from certain!

In particular, Han Li's age is significantly younger than the other person, which undoubtedly increases his chances of success in Foundation Establishment.

But if they knew Han Li's qualifications, I wonder if they would still be able to laugh.

"Yes, young friend, you must know the hardships of being a rogue cultivator. If you could join our five major sects, not to mention, there are plenty of rare medicinal materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Our sect also has quite a few secret techniques for advancing to the Core Formation stage, which are enough to improve the quality of the Golden Core by several times."

"You must know that Core Formation is of paramount importance. If one is below the sixth-grade Golden Core level, even if one is lucky enough to form a Core, one will have no chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

"However, if one can form a Golden Core of Grade Six or above, it will greatly benefit one's spiritual root aptitude, affinity with spiritual energy, and cultivation speed."

Master Green Snake smiled and said.

"Hehe, with your talent, young friend Hao, if our Star River Sword Sect didn't only accept female disciples, I would never have given up so easily."

Fairy Xuanlian smiled, her beautiful eyes scanning Han Li up and down. She nodded, then sighed and said...

"Young friend Hao, have you thoroughly investigated the possibility of our five major sects joining us?"

The elder of Danyang Valley smiled and asked.

Joining one of the five major sects has certain requirements regarding gender, such as the Star River Sword Sect only accepting female disciples.

The Jin Hong Sword Sect values ​​comprehension. If one can comprehend the contents of the sword tablet and successfully enter a state of enlightenment, one can join the sect.

The Zhushan Sect prioritizes spiritual root aptitude; only those with qualified spiritual root aptitude can join.

The Li Huo Sect values ​​a cultivator's perseverance. This is because the sect is located near a volcanic cluster, where the abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy, coupled with extreme heat, makes it impossible to persevere without sufficient strength and willpower.

Secondly, we look at qualifications.

As for Danyang Valley, it mainly focuses on talent in alchemy.

"I have already found my place in my heart and wish to become a disciple of the Li Huo Sect. I humbly request the permission of you seniors."

Han Li cupped his hands in greeting and expressed his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Cangkun glared triumphantly at Zhen Yuanzi, let out a hearty laugh, patted Han Li on the shoulder, and said:

"You've got good taste, kid. Joining my Fire Sect is the best decision you've ever made."

"Now that you have joined the Li Huo Sect, as your grandmaster, I naturally cannot remain silent."

"This item is called the Fire Cloud Pouch. It is a top-tier magic weapon suitable for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Consider it a gift from your senior uncle. If you encounter that brat Xiao Qianjue again, beat him to a pulp. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"

Han Li clutched his shoulder in slight pain, looking flattered, and accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill, spirit stones, and the top-tier magic artifact, the Fire Cloud Pouch, from Cang Kun Shangren.

He hadn't expected his grandmaster to be so generous. However, seeing Zhen Yuanzi's disgusted expression and recalling what Cang Kun Shangren had said, he roughly guessed what was going on and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

However, he showed no sign of anything amiss. He bowed to Cangkun Shangren and Zhen Yuanzi, put away his belongings, and then stood silently with his hands clasped.
