Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

Only the Flying Immortal Purple Mansion and a few other special types of Purple Mansions could be used as offensive weapons.

In the Immortal Path, I lack methods to combat my enemies. It's hard to find Immortal Path spirit materials in the Emperor Jin World and other parallel worlds…

The Flying Immortal Purple Mansion has filled this gap.

Xu Xing collected the floating Green Bronze Piece and the half-arm that Nangong Ancestor had discarded. He sealed the half-arm using a secret technique and tossed it into his Storage Bag.

"Many thanks to Ancestor Gongyang for his help..."

"I am extremely grateful."

Hua Shu, supporting the heavily injured Pill Seal Realm Ghost Immortal, approached Xu Xing. She bowed deeply and expressed her gratitude.

"There's no need for this..."

"We have a deal."

Xu Xing's expression was slightly cold.

"The Dao Sutra and the Undying Medicine..."

"Are not with me. I ask Ancestor Gongyang to be patient for a while... The Qiming Sect will deliver them in due time..."

Hua Shu hemmed and hawed.

A moment ago, when the situation was critical, she had spoken rashly and revealed the Qiming Sect's foundations. But now that the crisis had passed, she felt there was no need to be so hasty.

Moreover, if she handed over their foundations to Xu Xing now, what if he broke his promise and refused to protect the Qiming Sect for three hundred years? The Qiming Sect would inevitably face another crisis of annihilation.

"So, Sect Master Hua intends to go back on her word and reap the benefits?"

Xu Xing sneered coldly and released the pressure of his Approaching Yang Realm Ghost Immortal cultivation.

He had not met Hua Shu many times before, so he was unfamiliar with her temperament. However, after the events of the past several days, he had more or less figured out her nature.

She could not be called foolish; as a Sect Master, she could be considered shrewd.

But excessive shrewdness bordered on thinking oneself infallible.

Her decision to "drive" him out of the Qiming Sect was a clear example.

If Hua Shu had been as straightforward as Yan Xiling, treating him with sincerity and openly admitting her reservations about him as a Freelance Cultivator, he might have felt uneasy, but he would not have taken it to heart. He would still have appreciated the Qiming Sect's gesture.

Yet, Hua Shu had chosen to deceive him, ostensibly confiding in him and entrusting him with great responsibility, but in reality treating him as an outsider to be dismissed.

This approach was indeed clever, a form of political maneuvering.

But her mistake was that this was the Cultivation World, not the Mortal World. The person Hua Shu was dealing with was not one of her subjects. He was a publicly known Pill Seal Realm Ghost Immortal and, secretly, an Approaching Yang Realm Ghost Immortal.

This wasn't Xu Xing being hypocritical. It wasn't that he couldn't tolerate the Qiming Sect treating him as an "outsider"; after all, he didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Qiming Sect. Rather, Hua Shu's methods were simply too improper. She actually tried to dupe and fool me!

Directly facing the pressure of an Approaching Yang Realm Ghost Immortal, Hua Shu's face contorted in pain. She felt as if her Yin Soul and every single one of her thoughts were about to be crushed by Xu Xing.

At this moment, without the protection of any die-hard Pill Seal Realm loyalists, she could hardly flee from Xu Xing's grasp even if she wanted to.

"Elder Gongyang, Elder Gongyang..."

"This junior is willing to hand over the Dao Sutra and the Undying Medicine. However... I hope Elder Gongyang will honor his promise and protect our Sect's lineage for three hundred years."

Hua Shu gritted her silver teeth and said.

"On this matter."

"This old man will naturally keep his word."

Xu Xing nodded, withdrawing his pressure.

Three hundred years was merely fifteen years in Reality. He could pass this time simply by meditating in seclusion for a while; naturally, he would not go back on his word.

"The Dao Sutra is hidden within this book."

Having been taught a lesson, Hua Shu no longer dared to conceal anything. She took out a booklet from her Storage Bag.

This booklet was a Spirit Grass Picture Record, an extremely common sight in the Cultivation World. It looked nothing like a vessel for a top-secret Dao Sutra.

"Listen well, Senior, this is our Sect's secret language."

"Using this secret language and cross-referencing the Spirit Grass Picture Record, one can find the Sutra of Relief..."

Enduring the pain, Hua Shu relayed the secret language to Xu Xing, bit by bit.

This secret language was passed down through the Sect Master's lineage. Apart from highly trusted House Elders, it was generally not imparted to outsiders.

"The Sutra of Relief..."

The secret language was not complex; Xu Xing mastered it completely in less than a quarter of an hour. Then, he eagerly consulted the Spirit Grass Picture Record to locate the text of the Sutra of Relief.

"At that time, the Heavenly Venerate was in the Holy Land of Chanli..."

"With countless myriads of True Immortals of the Great Dao, all Heavenly Venerates, and all Heavenly Dragons and Ghost Gods, all gathered to accept my decrees..."

"Should there be Good Men and Good Women in the world who suddenly encounter calamities of the year or month—the calamity of red mice infesting cities, the calamity of the Heaven and Earth Net, the calamity of their fated lifespan ending, the calamity of lingering illness... the calamity of earth and stone bridges, the calamity of poisons and curses... after upholding and reciting this sutra, they shall be delivered from the nine hundred and six disasters of Yang, the three declines and nine adversities, and the calamities of the eight hardships and five sufferings..."

After reading the entire scripture, Xu Xing instantly felt his spirit drift away, his soul traveling for an unknown duration until it floated into a Jade Tower wreathed in purple energy.

This Jade Tower was wide and vast.

In its center sat an Immortal Venerable, thousands of zhang tall, as majestic as a mountain. It sat cross-legged, its features benevolent, but upon closer inspection, its face was veiled by a mass of white clouds.

And before the Immortal Venerable's high seat, innumerable cushions were arrayed.

Upon these cushions sat many Feathered Taoists, old and young alike.

"Zhi Xing, you have now heard this Scripture for Overcoming Obstacles. You may return."

"Do not indulge in excessive longing."

The Immortal Venerable's lips moved slightly. With a wave of its sleeve, it expelled Xu Xing's soul from the Jade Tower.

「Emperor Jin World.」

On a nameless hill twenty miles outside the Qiming Sect, Xu Xing's spirit stirred, and he regained consciousness.

"Elder Gongyang, this Sutra of Relief is a scripture that ancestors of our Qiming Sect salvaged from the Netherworld Wasteland..."

"However, this sutra is abstruse, its divine charm difficult to comprehend..."

Hua Shu, observing Xu Xing's expression, said cautiously.

Although this Sutra of Relief is precious, no one within the Qiming Sect has ever been able to comprehend it. Thus, it could only be shelved and treated as a legacy treasure of the Sect.

Her implication at this moment was quite clear.

The mysteries of this sutra were profound and difficult to fathom; it wasn't that she had deliberately given Xu Xing a counterfeit scripture.
