Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

"A hundred years..."

Xu Xing fell silent for a moment.

Honestly, it was hard for him not to be moved by a talented female cultivator of high status offering herself to him.

However, the Profound Female Physique of Saintess Wumu of the Starfall Sect, although excellent, might not necessarily be the best option for him.

With the time difference in the Instance World, and his own abilities, breaking through realms isn't difficult for him. Basically, he doesn't need the Yin Element assistance from the Profound Female Physique.

"If, after a hundred years, Crow Saintess still wishes to be engaged to and marry me, I... will seriously consider it and give a response..."

Xu Xing took a deep breath and replied.

Within a hundred years, if he chooses the Family Line, he will marry into a family, which would be an indirect refusal to Wu Miao.

If he chooses the Master and Disciple Lineage, then he will become a "homeless dog."

His status and background will vanish completely.

At that time, if Wu Miao is still willing to find him, it would show the strength of her feelings...

"Then I will wait for a hundred years."

Wu Miao slightly nodded, breaking into a smile through her tears. At this moment, she carefully looked at Xu Xing's appearance a few times, as if to engrave the image of the youth in the green robe into her heart. After a few glances, she just then realized how bold her words had been. Her face turned red, and her ears were flushed.

"The Crane Emblem Country is named after cranes that admire each other. If lovers make a lifelong commitment, a pair of male and female cranes will dance in front of them. It is said that the crane dance is very beautiful..."

"Unfortunately, we are far away from our country now."

After just expressing her innermost thoughts, Saintess Wu Miao felt shy speaking now, but her words also contained less reservation.

Xu Xing only nodded, not wanting to say more.

A young girl's feelings are always poetic.

Obviously, although Crow Saintess has cultivated for a long time, her experience in the mortal world is quite limited.

As for him, with several lifetimes' worth of experience accumulated, he has long been indifferent to worldly affairs and finds it hard to resonate.

"If we are fortunate in the future, I am willing to go to Crane Emblem Country with Crow Saintess to watch the crane dance."

Seeing Wu Miao's longing gaze, Xu Xing frowned slightly and shook his head secretly. But he didn't want to upset her, so he went along with it.

Not spending much time on Blue Sacred Island, Xu Xing took a sea-crossing flying boat to the Sealed Demon Island in the West Sea area of ​​Wangchuan Sea.

His goal for returning to East Huangzhou this time was twofold. Firstly, to sell the Cold Sword Gang Aura Vein to exchange it for resources and then plan to obtain the Yellow Court Pill needed for the Yellow Court Realm at Flying Feather Immortal Palace.

Secondly, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch's days were numbered, and he was about to die.

The death of a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord is vastly different from that of a bottom-level cultivator.

It seemed that Giant Sword Daoist Monarch still had about fifty years left, but during these last fifty years, he would die on Sealed Demon Island's blessed land...

And his cultivation will return to the Flying Feather Immortal Palace.

"You're back?"

As soon as he disembarked the sea-crossing flying boat, Xu Xing was about to enter the Sealed Demon Pan Palace to pay respects to Giant Sword Daoist Monarch. Unexpectedly, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch was already waiting for him at the end of the dock.

"Master."

Xu Xing quickly stepped forward to greet him, not daring to show any disrespect.

"I was born in the Country of Flowing Light under the governance of the sect. When I was young, I was a martial artist, the second disciple of the martial arts sect... Later, I was taken into the sect by a Celestial Messenger and luckily embarked on the Immortal Journey..."

Instead of asking where Xu Xing had been for more than twenty years, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch led Xu Xing towards the Sealed Demon Pan Palace.

As he walked, he recounted his own past experiences to Xu Xing.

"The Immortal Journey... is so lonely. We cultivators are called Immortals by mortals, but in the end, we haven't even seen the faces of real immortals..."

Xu Xing followed Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, serving as a good listener with the manners of a disciple.

When they reached the lecture hall of Pan Palace, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch stopped. He looked at Xu Xing and said, "Decades ago, you asked me why the sect let us struggle with each other. I told you... it was because they didn't want to become the stepping stones for others to cross the river. Now... I have lost and become the stepping stone for others."

As he said this, his face showed a mixture of desolation, relief, and contentment.

The losers on the Immortal Journey will become the nourishment for others' cultivation. This is unavoidable, even for a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord.

"But I don't resist it. Do you know why?"

Giant Sword Daoist Monarch looked up at the many buildings of Pan Palace, filled with emotions. Years ago, he studied the Dao here, and later, he taught here. Compared to the unfamiliar sect, Sealed Demon Pan Palace felt more like his sect.

"Your disciple doesn't know."

Xu Xing shook his head. Although he had some guesses in his heart, it wasn't the time for him to display his cleverness.

"The sect stipulates that when a Dao Lord has sixty years left, they must stay in the sect to wait for their death, unless they have other important matters."

"If they leave the sect, they must hold the Sect Leader's personal order to do so."

"However, if I truly want to leave, there should be no one in the sect who can stop me, other than the two Sage Monarchs..."

Giant Sword Daoist Monarch was confident. Although he was no longer the young and vigorous man he once was, and only appeared as an old man carrying a sword now, his words still conveyed an unimaginable boldness.

Hearing this, Xu Xing found it highly plausible. A dying Dao Lord would act without scruples. Even if other Dao Lords could stop them, they likely wouldn't try. Especially a Dao Lord like Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, renowned for his offensive capabilities. Once his killing intent surged, it wouldn't be difficult to ensure one Dao Lord perished and several others were gravely injured.

"Let me tell you."

After a brief silence, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch spoke again. He considered his words for a moment before saying, "Cultivation is like crossing from one bank of a river to the other. Cultivators are passengers on a boat, and the sect serves as that boat... As the boat moves, there will be wear and tear. Conflicts arise to prevent oneself from sinking into the river."

"In the three realms of Immortal Base, Returning Core, and Dao Pill, you have no right to choose. You can only be forced to become the planks of the sect's boat, as resources for others. But when you reach my Dao Lord level, you have the freedom to choose."

"Abandon the boat, or willingly sacrifice yourself. Either option is possible."

"However... I have spent most of my life in the sect, except for a few short decades in the mortal world. The passengers on this boat have long been on the same journey with me..."

With these words, the expression on Giant Sword Daoist Monarch's face turned stern, and he made Xu Xing kneel before him.

When the master teaches, the disciple obeys.

Xu Xing acknowledged the order, lifted the front part of his robe, and kneeled down to listen.

"Now, this boat is in danger of capsizing. As a first-class true lineage disciple of the Giant Sword Lineage, what should you do?"

Giant Sword Daoist Monarch questioned sternly. With his questioning, he used a Mind-Bewilderment spell to seek Xu Xing's true intentions.

"Disciple should wield his sword to protect this boat," Xu Xing replied solemnly.

Fortunately, he held sincere feelings for his Master and Disciple Lineage, and indeed had thoughts of saving the sect from disaster. With this query, he did not blurt out any inappropriate words.

Furthermore, his spirit, energy, and soul were in perfect harmony, protected by the indestructible substance of the Outer Dao Golden Body.

He had the strength to resist a mind-bewilderment spell of Returning Core level.

If the level of Giant Sword Daoist Monarch's spell was slightly higher, perhaps he would have had no power to resist.

Of course, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch would not do such a thing. Doing so would shake the very foundation of his direct disciple's divine soul, potentially hindering his Immortal Journey in the future. It would be a counterproductive move.

Xu Xing was not offended by Giant Sword Daoist Monarch's actions; being questioned upon entering the sect's lineage was reasonable.

"Good!"

Seeing Xu Xing's answer, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch's face eased, and he continued, "More than forty years ago, I personally went to the Flying Immortal Hall to seek justice for you, to protect your journey."

"At that time, I told them about your 'Human Emperor Body'. Sect Master Ren Yuanrui..."

He recounted the past.

As Giant Sword Daoist Monarch explained, Xu Xing finally understood.

As early as decades ago, or even over a hundred years ago, Sect Master Ren Yuanrui had already noticed the abnormalities within the Flying Feather Immortal Palace's two lineages...

However, Ren Yuanrui was powerless to reverse the situation.

Although he tried his best to maintain and strengthen the Master and Disciple Lineage, the Family Line's rise to become the ruler of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace was already an unstoppable trend.

Further struggle would be futile.

However, Xu Xing's 'Human Emperor Body' gave Ren Yuanrui new hope.

A Human King physique had great fortune in the mundane world, while a 'Human Emperor Body' could establish an Immortal Dynasty, boasting an extraordinary physique with immortal luck.

"During the first Fate Deduction, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch didn't tell me about this. It was because at that time, I was hiding in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace instead of going to the Sealed Demon Pan Palace. Later, I joined the Family Line..."

"So what happened during the second Fate Deduction?"

Xu Xing frowned, feeling puzzled. He compared the two Fate Deductions and the variables that had appeared in his current experience.

"It's... the Starfall Sect Saintess..."

In an instant, he realized something.

Logically, redeeming Saintess Wu Miao of the Starfall Sect should have had no impact on the internal affairs of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace...

However, it was often these seemingly small matters that could reveal his true nature.

At that time, he had borrowed money from Elder Zheng for reasons of benefit. But later, when Elder Zheng reported to the sect, he slightly altered a few words, which changed the meaning behind the redemption, thus highlighting Xu Xing's shrewdness and chivalry...

To carry on the sect's inheritance, they obviously couldn't choose someone too clever.

"Foolish people" were the best choice for continuing the sect's legacy.

"I, on behalf of the 16th generation Sect Master Ren Yuanrui, announce the Sect's Immortal Order..."

With a solemn expression, Giant Sword Daoist Monarch took out a white silk scroll from his sleeve, held it in both hands, and then said solemnly, "Xu Xing of the Giant Sword Lineage, you possess the 'Human Emperor Body', capable of shouldering the sect's responsibility and inheriting the sect's Immortal Veins... You are tasked with protecting the inheritance, waiting for the right time..."
