Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

The fate of a single hair can affect the whole body.

The change in stance of Nascent Soul Saint Monarch Chi Yuan also prompted a shift in the positions of the various Dao Lords within the Master and Disciple Lineage. Under the guarantee of the two Sage Monarchs, they transitioned from the Master and Disciple Lineage to the Family Line, establishing their own Aristocratic Families.

In just five years, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace's original Five Palace Crown Clans, Nine Mountain Great Halls, and Thirty-six Prominent Clans nearly doubled in number.

During this period, the Giant Sword Daoist Monarch's lifespan reached its end, and he died in the Blessed Land of the Sealed Demon Pan Palace.

The resources of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace were monopolized by the major Aristocratic Families. This almost completely cut off all paths for Commoner Disciples.

Of course, for Commoner Disciples with high qualifications, both the old and new Aristocratic Families did their utmost to win them over, ensuring their Immortal Journey remained open.

Xu Xing, as the eighth Chief of the Master and Disciple Lineage, also received an invitation from the Gong Family, the head of the Sixth Hall Crown Surname. If he were willing to marry Gong Yuzhen, the legitimate daughter of the Gong Family Third Branch, as his spouse, he could, like Ruan Baimei, become one of the candidates for Sect Master.

As for the former Sect Master Ren Yuanrui, seeing that the momentum was irreversible, he also chose to join the Family Line and enjoy a high position.

This change of allegiance meant that the Dao Lords of the Master and Disciple Lineage not only avoided losing power but, due to the strong efforts of the Family Line to win them over, actually enjoyed a significantly larger allocation of resources than before. However, the high-level members of the Sect who spoke for the Bottom-level Cultivators were, after all, few in number.

In this gluttonous feast of dividing the Sect's resources, only the Commoner Disciples with low Cultivation and poor aptitude suffered.

In the 132nd year of Tiande, Xu Xing, after careful consideration, decided to form a spousal union with Gong Yuzhen. The Immortal Journey is long, and being overly fixated on disputes of pride is not the superior path. After their marriage, he was selected as one of the new five Chiefs of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. In the same year, he was rewarded by the Sect with a Grade One Yellow Court Pill, allowing him to smoothly enter the first level of the Yellow Court Realm.

Condensing a First-Class Dragon and Tiger Dao Pill required not only the Dragon Pulse of the Human King physique but also a heaping measure of White Tiger Gang Ying for assistance. This White Tiger Gang Ying was found in Zhu Zhu Valley in the North Wilderness of East Huangzhou, condensed from the valley's immortal-grade Gangsha Meridian. The White Tiger Gang Ying produced there had always been divided among the Ten Major Sects.

According to the records of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, someone with the Human King physique was born in their territory approximately every three hundred years. Thus, when they were cultivating Song Knife, they had not accounted for Xu Xing coming after him. The Sect had less than half a measure of White Tiger Gang Ying remaining, and most of it was of inferior quality.

To aid Xu Xing in Condensing his Pill, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace dispatched an immortal envoy to negotiate with the various sects, intending to spend a great deal to purchase their remaining White Tiger Gang Ying. Unfortunately, due to Xu Xing's exceedingly high talent with the "Human Emperor Body", the other sects were wary of him. Even the Nanhua Sect, which had a good relationship with the Flying Feather Immortal Palace and could be considered an old ally, repeatedly made excuses and refused to trade their White Tiger Gang Ying.

In the 135th year of Tiande, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace decided to drain the pond to catch the fish—over-exploiting the Zhu Zhu Valley mineral veins to help Xu Xing in Condensing his Pill. However, the crude ore of White Tiger Gang Ying transported from Zhu Zhu Valley to the Flying Feather Immortal Palace was plundered three times by the Mingquan Sect.

The Flying Feather Immortal Palace and the Mingquan Sect were neighbors; one followed the Righteous Path, the other the Demon way, and they engaged in feuds and killings year after year. As early as when Xu Xing's "Human Emperor Body" talent was revealed, the Mingquan Sect had seen an opportunity. They targeted the Flying Feather Immortal Palace's lifeline and prepared to eliminate its stronghold in Zhu Zhu Valley, regardless of the cost. Decades of relentless infiltration. This stronghold had long ago become as porous as a sieve.

Had it not been for the prior internal strife within the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, the Mingquan Sect would have found it difficult to gain an advantage. But internal chaos did erupt. The high-level members of the Master and Disciple Lineage worried that the Family Line would seek revenge against them later. Consequently, some high-level members had preemptively defected to the Mingquan Sect.

Seeing that the situation was irredeemable, the Sect proposed two solutions: First, wait for the Flying Feather Immortal Palace to clash with the Mingquan Sect again and recapture the Zhu Zhu Valley stronghold. This process could take hundreds, even thousands, of years. Second, a Dao Lord from the Gong Family Third Branch—Gong Yuzhen's paternal grandfather, Gong Ze—would personally go to Zhu Zhu Valley and seize a portion of White Tiger Gang Ying.

The first option was safe. However, it would delay Xu Xing's Cultivation for an unknown number of years. The second option was dangerous. If anything happened to Gong Ze while seizing the White Tiger Gang Ying, Xu Xing would inevitably have to bear a portion of the responsibility.

Xu Xing found it incredibly difficult to ask this himself. Gong Yuzhen, deeply devoted to her husband, personally sought an audience with her grandfather, imploring him to intervene and aid Xu Xing's Immortal Journey on this occasion.

In the 141st year of Tiande, Gong Ze found an opportune moment. He secretly infiltrated Zhu Zhu Valley, preparing to steal a portion of White Tiger Gangsha. Unfortunately, the Mingquan Sect had long ago laid a Heaven and Earth Net in Zhu Zhu Valley. The moment Gong Ze arrived, the Mingquan Sect activated their array technique, trapping and killing him.

「After this battle」

Xu Xing, though still a Chief of the Sect, saw his status and influence within the Sect plummet.

In the 160th year of Tiande, Xu Xing could no longer tolerate the stagnation in his Cultivation, where not even the slightest improvement was possible. Unwilling to compromise by Condensing a medium-to-low grade Dao Pill and thus ruin his innate talent, he bid farewell to the Sect and chose to venture into the Wangchuan Sea to seek opportunities.

The Wangchuan Sea was vast, and the Flying Feather Immortal Palace occupied only a small corner of it. The moment he set out to sea, he encountered various perils. However, Xu Xing seemed to be aided by his Immortal Fate, always managing to turn peril into safety.

In the fifth year of his sea voyage, Xu Xing unexpectedly encountered Jinglian True Monarch of the Mingquan Sect. This encounter initiated a desperate flight for survival. With Xu Xing's solid foundation in the Immortal Base and Returning Core Realm, although his strength was inferior to Jinglian True Monarch, he could still barely evade capture using various methods.

During his flight, while preparing to set up a Level 4 Concealing Breath Array on a Nameless Island to evade Jinglian True Monarch's pursuit, Xu Xing accidentally stumbled upon the sealed body of an Ancient White Tiger Demon Saint in a subterranean cave on the island.
