After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

In "The Ancestor of Heavenly Dao", Long Yucheng was accidentally teleported into the belly of Qiongshan Mountain by a one-time teleportation technique he obtained from the system while fleeing for his life, and unexpectedly obtained a pair of yin-yang fish.

In order to leave the mountain, Long Yucheng used his flying sword to dig outwards and eventually found the cave of an inner disciple of the Qiongshan Sect. Long Yucheng simply killed the inner disciple and took his place, hiding his identity within the Qiongshan Sect, thus successfully escaping the pursuit of the Five-Colored Daoist.

Yun Liushui, on the other hand, did the opposite. He found the inner disciple who had been replaced by Long Yucheng, bought the cave dwelling with spirit stones, and dug it out from the inside out.

Unsure of the exact location, Yun Liushui wasted a lot of time taking detours. After leaving the Nine Star Secret Realm, he began digging day and night. After many twists and turns, he finally dug into the belly of Qiongshan Mountain as described in the book.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy inside the stalactite cave, Yun Liushui immediately sat down to meditate and recover her strength without hesitation.

Once he had recovered to his peak condition, he looked at the Yin-Yang Fish Soul that was slowly rotating in the center of the cave.

According to the book, he circulated all his spiritual power, activated the Thunder Dragon Inheritance, and transformed the spiritual power into thunder attribute before infusing it into the Yin-Yang Fish Soul.

After the Yin-Yang Fish Soul came into contact with the pure lightning spiritual power, its trajectory remained unchanged, but its illusory soul body gradually solidified.

Yun Liushui's eyes lit up, and he increased the flow of spiritual energy. He was so focused on the yin-yang fish that he didn't notice that there was another person there.

Huo Yu patiently observed Yun Liushui channeling spiritual power into the Yin-Yang Fish Soul. He was quite curious about how this person knew the secret of Qiongshan Mountain and how he knew how to take away the Yin-Yang Fish Soul.

Moreover, this person possesses mixed spiritual roots of four attributes, yet can release pure lightning spiritual power, clearly indicating that he possesses extraordinary treasures.

If it weren't for the fact that his Heavenly Dao value was special, Huo Yu would have already used the Soul Searching Technique on him.

The drawback of the Soul Searching Technique lies in this: the lower the cultivation level of the target, the less able they are to withstand the Soul Search. With this person's cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, they simply cannot withstand the aftereffects of the Soul Search. Even if they survive, they will become an idiot.

Cherishing the rare subject of his research, Huo Yu abandoned the soul-searching exercise and instead focused his attention on the Yin-Yang fish soul, which was nearly physical.

Yun Liushui also sensed that success was imminent, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed a few pills to continue maintaining the flow of spiritual energy.

Under the watchful eyes of Huo Yu and Yun Liushui, the Yin-Yang Fish Soul finally materialized.

Yun Liushui was overjoyed and, without bothering to recover his depleted spiritual energy, immediately went to take the treasure. But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

A white-robed cultivator appeared in the cave at some unknown time, and the Yin-Yang Fish spirit shot towards him, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

Enraged, Yun Liushui rushed forward to snatch it, but the man gave him a cold look. In that one glance, Yun Liushui's mind was shaken and his sense of crisis was stronger than ever before!

No longer caring about the Yin-Yang Fish spirit, Yun Liushui immediately retreated back to the passage he had come from.

Fortunately, the man did not intend to kill them all. After returning to the cave in shock, Yun Liushui immediately blocked the passage with a boulder and then left the cave, completely sealing off the entrance.

All the planning and effort of the past few days had been wasted on someone else. Yun Liushui felt like vomiting blood, but there was nothing she could do.

The person who stole his opportunity was not anyone he had ever met before, nor was such a person mentioned in the original story.

Yun Liushui wondered if the plot had been altered because he had retrieved the treasure ahead of time. Unable to figure it out, he could only leave reluctantly and make other plans.

After Huo Yu scared Yun Liushui away, he took the pair of Yin-Yang fish souls. Although the pair of Yin-Yang fish souls had solidified into physical forms, they still could not be put into the storage bag and could only be stored in Huo Yu's sea of ​​consciousness.

After observing for a moment, Huo Yu found that his divine sense was unharmed. On the contrary, his nearly depleted sea of ​​consciousness showed signs of recovery as the yin-yang fish slowly rotated.

After collecting the Yin-Yang Fish, Huo Yu did not leave immediately. Instead, he absorbed all the spiritual energy in the cave, and his spiritual energy instantly returned to its state before the Nine-Star Secret Realm.

Feeling the long-lost abundance of spiritual energy, he turned his gaze to the spirit of Qiongshan Mountain.

Although the Qiongshan Mountain Soul was the reason he stayed in the Qiongshan Sect, it was too weak at the moment, and Huo Yu didn't have time to wait for it to grow, so he simply absorbed the Mountain Soul directly.

After devouring the mountain soul, the shattered divine soul's injuries healed almost imperceptibly.

Although this slight healing was better than nothing, it confirmed the conjecture that the item for repairing the soul was effective for Huo Yu.

Before this, Huo Yu's biggest worry was whether the item for repairing the soul could alleviate the strange "phantom pain" he inherited from his previous life.

After receiving a positive answer, a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders.

After taking everything that could be taken, Huo Yu used his spiritual power to manipulate the mountain wall, completely burying the stalactite cave. He then left the mountain and returned to his own cave.

From then on, he had only one goal left to achieve while staying in the Qiongshan Sect.

Soon, the day for the three-faction meeting arrived as scheduled.

Huo Yu and the sect leader rode together on a huge cyan gourd to the Beast Taming Valley.

Long Yucheng, led by Elder Chen Liyun, had already gone to the meeting place the day before.

Elder He was required to guard the mountain gate, so only Huo Yu and the sect leader accompanied him on this trip.

The cyan gourd moved much faster than the Falling Star Veil it had used to reach the secret valley. In just half an hour, it landed steadily at the entrance of Beast Taming Valley.

Beast Taming Valley, as its name suggests, is a secluded valley nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

The mountains on both sides are tall and steep, and the valley is filled with a mystical aura. The richness of the spiritual energy is far beyond what the Qiongshan Sect can match.

A crystal-clear spring flows gently through the valley, and the birds, beasts, insects and fish in the valley seem to be bathed in spiritual energy. At a glance, it is like a fairyland on earth.

The meeting place for the three factions was an exquisite pavilion shaped like a lotus flower in the center of a pool in the valley.

When Huo Yu and the sect leader arrived, two streaks of light, one red and one silver, sped from afar and landed steadily on the white jade steps in front of the pavilion.

The newcomers were two Golden Core stage elders from the Divine Sword Sect. The leader was a red-clad woman carrying two swords on her back with a cold and aloof expression, while the other was the old man who had presided over the opening of the secret realm that day.

The two men, upon seeing the leader of the Qiongshan Sect, remained indifferent, as if they hadn't seen him, and walked straight into the pavilion.

The sect leader, with a gloomy expression, followed closely behind Huo Yu and entered the pavilion.

Inside the attic, four people were already seated.

The head seat was occupied by the host of this meeting, the young man from Beast Taming Valley who had opened the secret realm that day, and beside him was an elder from Beast Taming Valley who was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Elder Chen Liyun had already arrived and was sitting in the second seat on the left, while the two elders of the Divine Sword Sect were on the right.

Kneeling in the center of the main hall was a man with his hands and feet bound; it was Long Yucheng.

After the sect leader led Huo Yu into the main hall, he took his seat on the left side next to Chen Liyun.

As a disciple, Huo Yu was only there to summon a witness and had no right to sit, so he stood quietly behind the sect leader.

Once everyone had arrived, the young elder of Beast Taming Valley announced the official start of the meeting.
