Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

According to the memories of Jinglian True Monarch.

Xu Xing took out a black cloak from his Storage Bag, put it on, then sat down in the study's high-backed chair and rang the bell on the desk.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

The door was knocked, and after he lowered his voice and said, "Enter," a line of servants dressed in magnificent clothes entered, carrying Wooden Trays.

On the Wooden Trays, besides spirit-enhancing meals that were perfect in color, aroma, and taste, were several intelligence dossiers concerning North Yue Country, the Immeasurable Sect, Shengzhou, and other places.

Unlike the great Sects and small nations of East Huangzhou, Nanyan Continent was a place where various countries coexisted. Each Sect was located within North Yue Country, and when they announced their Sect names, they placed the three words "North Yue Country" before the Sect's actual name.

Unfortunately, these intelligence dossiers were sent by the Immeasurable Sect to Jinglian True Monarch, their House Elder, so the information is rather rudimentary...

In a side hall of the study, Xu Xing perused the dossiers while dining, hoping to get a grasp on the recent changes in Nanyan Continent. However, after he finished looking through the dossiers, he felt somewhat disappointed. The information merely skimmed the surface and did not delve into any deeper details.

I must quickly take control of the Shadowless Pavilion. The Shadowless Pavilion is an organization that Jinglian True Monarch spent over four hundred years building in North Yue Country, comprising both Cultivators and mortals... Xu Xing thought to himself.

Taking control of the Shadowless Pavilion would mean seizing all of Jinglian True Monarch's legacy in Nanyan Continent.

There were no Cultivators in the Small Circular Mountain Cave Mansion, only mortals. Drawing upon Jinglian True Monarch's memories, Xu Xing's disguise was impeccable, revealing no hint of anything unusual.

The Cross-State Teleportation Array was astonishingly valuable. To ensure this secret was not leaked, Jinglian True Monarch exclusively recruited mortals as servants. Otherwise, with the status of a Dao Pill Daoist, it would not have been difficult to select a few low-realm Cultivators as servants. Doing so would also have been a matter of great prestige and ostentation. The various mechanisms from the study to the Ancient Melting Cave, as well as the steep, ladderless slope that was tens of zhang high, were all clear proof of this.

A month later, Xu Xing, dressed in a green robe and making no effort at concealment, arrived at the Yan Mountain Range in northern Shengzhou.

Shengzhou was located in the northwest of North Yue Country and ranked first among its seventeen states in terms of area. This state bordered a western desert and was scarce in resources. However, due to its vast territory, it had given birth to the Immeasurable Sect, which ranked third among the six major Sects of North Yue Country.

The Yan Mountain Range was Shengzhou's only region of concentrated essence, stretching for thousands of miles with perilous mountains and lush forests. The Immeasurable Sect was situated in a Blessed Land within this mountain range.

There were five grades of distinction among Cultivator Cave Mansions: Cave, Blessed Land, Jade Talisman, Xuanjing, and Dan Lu, in that order. For example, each of the Ten Major Sects of East Huangzhou possessed at least one Cave. Only the rich Spiritual Energy produced by a Cave could allow Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs to live long and advance their cultivation. Additionally, each Cave constituted its own heaven and earth, which could protect Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs from the suffering of external tribulations. The reason the Ten Major Sects of East Huangzhou remained evergreen and unyielding was because their Sects contained Caves, enabling Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs to avoid tribulations and greatly extend their lifespans.

Therefore, there was an extremely simple method to judge a Sect's strength: see how many Caves and Blessed Lands the Sect possessed. Although this method was not entirely accurate, it was generally effective for making a rough assessment.

The Immeasurable Sect before Xu Xing possessed only one Blessed Land.

According to the conjectures of both Xu Xing and Jinglian True Monarch, the Immeasurable Sect's strength was at most equivalent to a branch of one of the Ten Major Sects. It had no Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs, and no more than three Nascent Soul Daoist Lords. If there were more than three, the remaining Nascent Soul Daoist Lords would have to seek sustenance elsewhere. Since there were not even three Nascent Soul Daoist Lords, the number of Dao Pill Daoists and Returning Core Lords was also clearly limited, far inferior to the branches of the Ten Major Sects. After all, although the branches of the Ten Major Sects might seem comparable to the Immeasurable Sect in terms of resources, they had the support of their main Sect headquarters for talent cultivation and resource allocation. Thus, the strength of their mid-level members could not be judged by conventional standards.

Therefore, when Xu Xing, a True Man at the early stage of Returning Core, came to the Immeasurable Sect to pay his respects and stated his intention to join, Gu Chengbin, the Immeasurable Sect Master, who was seated on the main ceremonial chair in the Great Hall, was instantly overjoyed.

He reached the early Returning Core stage at two hundred years old. His Profound Light magic power is pure and potent, surpassing those of the same realm by a notch. He's probably around a Fourth Grade Restoring Pill quality, a genius indeed...

Like Jinglian, he should be able to reach the Dao Pill realm within a few hundred years.

After carefully examining the mass of cyan and red Profound Light left by Xu Xing on his visitor's calling card, Gu Chengbin became very interested in Xu Xing, believing he had the potential to reach the Dao Pill realm in the future. It was not impossible that he could later advance to Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord.

A high Third Grade Restoring Pill quality offered the prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul Saint Monarch realm, while a middle Third Grade Restoring Pill quality offered the prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul Daoist Lord realm. As for a low Third Grade Restoring Pill quality, their potential was exhausted. Once they reached the Dao Pill Realm, unless they encountered a great stroke of fortune, it would be difficult for them to advance even a bit further in their lifetime.

As for Xu Xing's identity, Gu Chengbin was not worried. The prerequisite for joining the Immeasurable Sect was to swear a Blood Oath of undivided loyalty to the Immeasurable Sect. Aside from cultivators from outside who were notorious or had provoked powerful enemies, whom they dared not accept, they generally welcomed all other cultivators.

"Ask Junior Brother Bai, Uncle Master Liu, and Junior Sister Yan to come to the Lingxin Pavilion. There is an important matter to discuss..." Gu Chengbin suppressed his excitement, his expression returning to normal. He sent a sound transmission via Divine Sense, summoning the disciples stationed outside into the hall to give his instructions.

Within the Immeasurable Sect, although he was the Sect Master and held the greatest authority aside from the Nascent Soul Daoist Lords, he could not simply ignore their opinions.
