Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

At this moment, Xu Xing, who was in a perilous situation, began to speak.

He maintained a calm demeanor, refuting Hua Shu's slanderous accusations.

However, halfway through his words, his voice suddenly became hoarse and grating, exactly like that of an old man deep in his twilight years.

The Yao Dang persona, given today's situation, could no longer be maintained. It can only be discarded!

Xu Xing wanted Hua Shu and the entire Qiming Sect to understand what a grave mistake they had made.

We can be strangers. But if they still want to kill me, then they can't blame me for being merciless.

"This... is this Elder Gongyang's voice?" Elder Wu, one of the three Elixir Mark Realm Ghost Immortals besieging Xu Xing, turned deathly pale upon hearing this and exclaimed in horror, "Is he Gongyang Yi?"

As he spoke, realization dawned on him. He rapidly retreated from the battlefield and fled towards the Qiming Sect's exterior, not daring to even glance back.

An Approaching Yang Realm peak Ghost Immortal could easily kill him in a few moves. Moreover, Gongyang Yi was no ordinary Approaching Yang Realm Ghost Immortal—his might was enough to make the Nangong Ancestor of the Fragrant Fox Sect flee using Blood Escape. He could probably kill me with a single slap.

Xu Xing chuckled softly. "Elder Wu, you were slow to react."

In a flash, he blocked Elder Wu's escape route.

He formed a seal with his fingers. "Surrender." Then, he unleashed three golden flames.

These three golden flames were all Sun True Fire, possessing the utmost firmness and Yang properties. The flames transformed into a fiery cage, instantly trapping Elder Wu.

The Sun True Fire was something that even the Nangong Ancestor, an Approaching Yang Realm Ghost Immortal, dared not face directly. Much less Elder Wu, who had not yet undergone Return to Yang and was merely a Yin Soul. He couldn't possibly withstand the Sun True Fire!

After trapping Elder Wu, Xu Xing employed the same tactic.

Soon, the other two Elixir Mark Realm Ghost Immortals also fell into his hands. These two Elixir Mark Realm Ghost Immortals hadn't even processed why Elder Wu had paled and fled upon hearing Xu Xing's changed voice before they were captured.

All these changes occurred in less than a breath's time. Xu Xing's actions were simply too fast. Such was the crushing advantage of a higher cultivation Realm.

"Soul Searching Technique!"

Upon capturing the three, Xu Xing didn't hesitate. He immediately chose to perform Soul Searching on these three Elixir Mark Realm Ghost Immortals.

He had always preferred to act discreetly. However, once someone became his enemy, he would show no mercy.

He focused his soul search on one question: Where is Great Elder Cai's seclusion for Returning to the Netherworld?

Ghost Immortals self-dissolved too quickly, and their minds were filled with too many thoughts. Therefore, Xu Xing's Soul Searching targeted only one piece of information: the location of Cai Qing's life-death seclusion.

Cai Qing was the Master he had acknowledged when he joined the Qiming Sect. Hua Shu's actions towards him must have been, at least in part, instructed by Cai Qing.

Since this Master was no true benefactor, he felt no obligation to be a dutiful disciple. With the Qiming Sect's experts dwindling, his only remaining concern was Supreme Elder Cai Qing, who was currently in life-death seclusion.

Couldn't find it…

Xu Xing frowned, discarded Elder Wu's Yin Soul, and proceeded to soul-search the other two Elixir Mark Realm Ghost Immortals.

However, searching them one by one was taking too long. He had only managed to soul-search two of them before the third successfully self-dissolved, so dead he couldn't be any deader.

To his considerable disappointment, he couldn't find Cai Qing's whereabouts in the memories of these two either.

The other one's memory probably doesn't have it either. Right, life-death seclusion is too important. Cai Qing wouldn't easily reveal his seclusion spot. Hua Shu probably doesn't know Cai Qing's whereabouts either…

Xu Xing shook his head.

Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid of Cai Qing. It was still uncertain whether Cai Qing could successfully complete his Returning to the Netherworld. Even if he did, Xu Xing was confident that with his strength from cultivating three paths simultaneously, augmented by the power of the Sun True Fire, Cai Qing would be unable to harm him.

In his past life, he had been hunted by Si Lansheng, the Life Determining Ghost Immortal of the Black Mountain Sect, for seven months and still managed to evade him. If the Black Mountain Sect hadn't possessed his Soul Life Tablet from when he joined the sect, they might not necessarily have been able to find him.

Hua Shu, it's your turn now.

Tying the Storage Bags of these three Elixir Mark Realm Ghost Immortals to his belt, Xu Xing's cold eyes flickered as he turned his gaze towards the Qiming Sect's mountain gate, fortified with layers of Large Arrays.

After the Fragrant Fox Sect's invasion, although the Qiming Sect had rebuilt its Sect-protection Array, its presence and effectiveness were far inferior to what they once were.

"Yao Dang…" Inside the array formation, Hua Shu felt Xu Xing's icy gaze. Her heart tightened, and she hastily screamed, "You ungrateful little wretch! If our Qiming Sect hadn't taken you in, you'd still be a mere Freelance Cultivator! You are shameless and ungrateful!"

At this moment, what worried her most was not Xu Xing's killing intent towards her, but the killing intent from the other House Elders within the sect. Indeed, these House Elders had all agreed to eliminate Xu Xing, this potential threat. However, as the Sect Leader, she was directly responsible for this severe miscalculation and could not evade the blame.

The deaths of the three Elixir Mark Realm House Elders were a fresh and terrifying precedent. How could the other House Elders not be afraid?

This bitch…

Hearing Hua Shu's crazed tirade, a few of the Qiming Sect's House Elders exchanged glances. After cursing Hua Shu under their breath, they reluctantly abandoned their plan to turn on Hua Shu to curry favor with Xu Xing.

The House Elders shouted, "All sect disciples, prepare to defend the array!"

The great battle with the Fragrant Fox Sect had just concluded, and its lessons were still fresh in the minds of everyone in the Qiming Sect. Thus, in no time at all, they were prepared to defend their sect.

A House Elder walked to the mountain gate and said apologetically to Xu Xing, "House Elder Yao, Elder Gongyang... Sect Master Hua misspoke. Please, House Elder Yao, don't hold it against her. Since House Elder Yao joined the Qiming Sect, you have completed many tasks and accumulated considerable Merit. The Sect Master's erroneous decision has caused you to suffer grievances…"

They had to prepare for battle while also attempting to sue for peace.

Xu Xing waved his hand, his gaze cold. "Since we are already mortal enemies, say no more."

He glanced at the Qiming Sect's Large Array, then slapped his Storage Bag, and a Green Bronze Piece appeared in his hand.

He intoned an incantation and deployed the Green Bronze Piece. "A few days ago, Lady Nangong used this to break your Qiming Sect's Protective Array. Today, I, Gongyang Yi, can also break it!"

This Green Bronze Piece had been salvaged from the Heavenly Abyss by the Fragrant Fox Sect; it was not an artifact originally belonging to them. Engraved upon it was the incantation to summon a Heavenly Abyss Devil. Therefore, after Xu Xing obtained this treasure, he needed no separate secret technique to activate it.

After a few breaths, droplets of blood rained down from the Heavenly Vault, staining the ground crimson.

Space was torn asunder.

A delicate, jade-white hand reached out from within.

Everyone in the Qiming Sect was terrified. Less than five days had passed, and their previous nightmare was replaying.

A disciple, his face ashen, stammered in horror, "It's not just the hand—She's emerging...!"

He watched in terror as, behind the Jade Palm, a figure partially emerged—a fleeting glimpse of a white-robed, graceful form, like a divine masterpiece. But Her temperament was both angelic and demonic, utterly terrifying. She inspired awe, and no one dared harbor a disrespectful thought.

As She began to emerge further, the spatial rift widened, and the entire heaven and earth seemed on the verge of collapse. The azure Heavenly Vault instantly turned pitch black, and the ground fissured.

It was a scene of apocalypse.

"A pity…" The owner of the Jade Palm suddenly stopped Her advance, sighing softly. "I cannot fully emerge…"

Her Jade Palm then slammed down hard on the Qiming Sect's Protective Array, driving the entire Qiming Sect into the earth.

Next, Her Jade Palm emitted an irresistible suction force, like a black hole.

A coffin from a thousand li away was drawn towards Her.

She declared, "Die!"

The coffin shattered. Cai Qing, white-haired and with eyes tightly shut, was crushed into fine powder, utterly dead.

"Is that the Supreme Elder? The Supreme Elder is dead?"

"Killed by the Heavenly Abyss Devil?"

Deep in the pit, dozens of zhang underground, Hua Shu and the other Qiming Sect House Elders stared blankly at this scene, utterly incredulous.

The Heavenly Abyss Devil seems to possess consciousness? Did It kill our Supreme Elder Cai Qing for Gongyang Yi, eliminating a future threat for him?
