Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

“I know this is hard to accept, but why should I deceive a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like you? Although I don’t know why I have been able to exist for so long, I have a premonition that it is all related to this sword.” The old man was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Where did this sword come from?"

At this moment, Han Li noticed that the mysterious rusty sword, which had absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, was no longer the low-grade talisman weapon it once was, but had transformed into a low-grade magic weapon.

In a short time, it has advanced from a talisman to a magic weapon. Could this sword be the natal magic weapon of someone in the Core Formation stage or even the Nascent Soul stage?

Han Li narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the mysterious iron sword in front of him, but quickly dismissed the idea.

Aside from some rust, the sword had no markings that symbolized a natal magic weapon. However, apart from natal magic weapons, Han Li had never seen a magic weapon capable of autonomously advancing.

"I still don't know this fellow Daoist's name!"

After a moment's thought, Han Li asked.

"My surname is Wei! My given name is Wuji. You can call me Old Man Wei."

Wei Wuji paused for a moment before speaking.

"Wei Wuji..."

Han Li stood there pondering for a long time, but he didn't get any information related to it. He could only shake his head helplessly and say, "Fellow Daoist Wei, since you say you are a cultivator, do you have a way to restore your memories?"

"The reason I fell into a deep sleep is entirely because of this sword. This sword is different from ordinary artifacts. If it can absorb enough abundant spiritual energy of different attributes, in addition to advancing its level, it may also awaken some of my memories."

"For some reason, I am currently unable to detach myself from this sword. If I do, I will probably vanish into thin air in an instant. Therefore, I will have to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to find a place where special energy can gather for me."

"Of course, I will not let you do this for nothing. In addition to wielding this sword, I will also teach you some martial arts techniques and supernatural abilities as compensation after I regain my memories."

Wei Wuji paused for a moment, then said.

"Do you have any secret techniques for breaking through to the Core Formation stage?"

Han Li paused for a moment, then asked.

"I don't remember anything right now, only some irrelevant fragments of memory. I have no recollection of the secret technique for breaking through to the Core Formation stage, but I assure you, once I recall it, I will tell you everything without reservation."

"To show my sincerity, I have a divine power here called Sword Qi Technique. This divine power is similar to the Greatsword Technique, but it is completely different from the Greatsword Technique. When you use this technique, you use sword qi as the blade. The more sword qi there is, the greater the power. The power of this divine power is far superior to your sword control technique."

The old man spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, as if he were weighing something.

After careful consideration, Han Li decided to agree for the time being and observe the situation more closely.

However, as the saying goes, one should always be wary of others, so it was impossible to completely believe what the old man in front of me said.

Thinking of this, Han Li waved his hand, and the brush and ink he had prepared for drawing the talisman flew out and hovered in front of the old man.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji extended his illusory hands and picked up paper and pen to draw. Before long, more than a dozen yellowed sheets of paper filled with tiny characters fell into Han Li's hands.

After carefully examining the so-called "Sword Qi Technique," a look of astonishment flashed in Han Li's eyes.

Sword control technique uses sword energy to condense flying swords, and at the same time, it is combined with sword gathering technique to deal high damage. Although the power of the supernatural power is not weak, it has a fatal flaw.

That is, once the flying sword condensed from sword energy is destroyed, the sword energy will also disappear. If you want to use the same number of flying swords again, you can only use the Nine Revolutions Wandering Body Sword and the Hidden Sword Technique. However, this will inevitably waste the extra mana and time to condense sword energy.

Unlike sword control techniques, the Sword Qi Technique borrows the momentum of sword energy rather than directly transforming sword energy into a sword. Therefore, even if the flying sword driven by the Sword Qi Technique shatters, it can still be used without causing the sword energy to disintegrate.

Moreover, this supernatural power is indeed quite strong, and practicing it might not be a bad thing.

After carefully examining the Sword Qi Technique and its accompanying supernatural abilities several times, Han Li nodded and firmly memorized the cultivation method.

"By the way, I still don't know your name, young friend."

Just then, Wei Wuji, who was standing to the side, asked a question.

"My name is Han Li!"

Han Li clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

“Young friend, my body cannot be separated from this sword for long. Moreover, due to the sword’s advancement, my body cannot withstand such a large amount of spiritual energy in a short time. I’m afraid I will have to fall into a deep sleep.”

"Because this sword is special after its awakening, it can no longer be stored in a storage bag. I hope you will carry it with you at all times. In a critical moment, I might be able to lend you a hand... Remember, you must find a place with abundant elemental energy for me..."

Wei Wuji's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, eventually turning into wisps of white smoke and returning to the sword.

Looking at the mysterious rusty sword in his hand, Han Li fell into deep thought. After some attempts, he found that the sword could no longer be put into his storage bag. With a sigh, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the sword.

What kind of sword is this? Why does it absorb spiritual energy and advance on its own? Could it be that the soaring sword intent was not emitted by the Blood Demon Sword, but by this seemingly ordinary iron sword?

Therefore, what those demonic cultivators were searching for was most likely this mysterious rusty sword. Of course, these were all just his guesses, without any real evidence.

However, just to be on the safe side, Han Li used a small portion of the Sword Heart Bamboo that was nearly eighty years old to forge a sword case for the mysterious rusty sword, and then wrapped it with a black cloth that could block divine sense from detecting it. In this way, even if those demonic cultivators were really looking for this sword, they would not be able to find it immediately.

After doing all this, Han Li placed the sword in the spiritual spring in the center of the lotus pond.

Because of Wei Wuji's remnant soul, Han Li dared not leave the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc in the cave anymore.

After all, he didn't know when Wei Wuji had awakened or whether he had discovered the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc's spirit-infusing power. Just to be on the safe side, Han Li decided to keep it with him.

A month later, Han Li emerged from his secluded cultivation room, transforming into a streak of azure light and shooting off towards Tianxing City.

At this point, Han Li had already mastered the Returning Fire and Shifting Scenery Technique and the Sword Qi Technique.

As for the Burning Flame Technique, the Demonic Flame Technique, and the Lesser Yang Technique, Han Li does not plan to cultivate them for the time being.

Especially the Demon Flame Technique, cultivating this technique will consume a portion of one's lifespan. If one wants to cultivate to the first level, one will have to consume at least seven or eight years of lifespan, which makes Han Li hesitate.

After all, the small amount of lifespan gained from cultivating the Longevity Technique is only about five or six years at most. If one were to truly cultivate this Demonic Flame Technique, one would probably only be able to reach the first level at most before being unable to continue. Breaking through to the second and third levels would consume nearly fifty years of lifespan in total!

However, despite this, the cultivation speed gained by sacrificing lifespan in the Demon Flame Technique is still quite considerable. Although it cannot compare to top-tier cultivation techniques, it is not far off, which is why Han Li is conflicted.

Thinking of his mediocre talent, Han Li felt rather helpless. He stared blankly at the tall pavilion in front of him, remaining silent.
