Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

He would then get another chance for Fate Deduction.

Having an extra "variable" before reaching the Dao Pill Realm would be beneficial for his Fate Deduction.

The "variable" caused by the Dragon Pulse would better help trigger his potential crises.

Condensing Dragon Vein Qi...

Xu Xing formed a hand seal and began sensing the Dragon Pulse of Siming Country, millions of miles away.

After about two months, a wisp of bright yellow Qi, similar to what he had sensed before, quickly appeared beside Xu Xing, spinning joyfully and excitedly around him.

However, this bright yellow Qi was pitifully scarce; only four wisps manifested, and then no more came forth.

A single strand of dragon Qi is formed by condensing one hundred and eight wisps of dragon Qi.

These four wisps were not even enough to form one such strand.

It must have scattered on the way from East Huangzhou to the Nanyan Continent...

Xu Xing shook his head, not surprised by this.

If it weren't for the special connection between his Human King physique and the Dragon Pulse, spanning an entire continent, he would find it difficult to even sense the Dragon Pulse, much less have it transmit Dragon Luck to him.

For four wisps of dragon Qi to travel across a continent is already quite good.

However, these four wisps of Dragon Luck didn't appear consistently. It seems someone has tampered with my Dragon Pulse...

A profound look settled in Xu Xing's eyes.

「East Huangzhou.」

「Flying Feather Immortal Palace, Imperial City Peak.」

"Xu Xing, you severed my Dragon Pulse back then. Today, I, Song Knife, will obstruct your Dao path this once!"

"With your aptitude, you surely wouldn't be content unless you condense a First-Rate Dao Pill, would you...?"

Inside the living room of his Cave Mansion, Song Knife sat on the main seat. He glanced at the elderly man in a python robe on the secondary seat, a cold sneer on his lips and a frenzied look in his eyes.

More than a hundred years ago, he was punished by Sect Master Ren Yuanrui and locked in the Black Fire Prison for fifty years.

From a dignified Chief, he had been reduced to a mere sharpening stone for Xu Xing.

He had thought his entire life would be ruined because of this...

But who could have expected the Sect's situation to reverse? Sect Master Ren Yuanrui was imprisoned by the Aristocratic Families, and Chi Yuan, one of the two Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs, aligned himself with the Aristocratic Families' faction. From then on, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace underwent a revolution...

He threw in his lot with the Aristocratic Families and married the direct heiress of the Hai Family, one of the Nine Mountain Great Halls.

After this series of events, the Sect's attitude towards him transformed from cold indifference to placing great importance on him.

Although the Sect knew that a disciple once suspected of colluding with the Shadow Assassination Hall would undoubtedly attract criticism if he were to be valued by the Sect again, well... Song Knife had been the first to declare his stance and firmly pick his side...

As long as he made no mistakes on crucial matters of principle, any minor errors from his past could naturally be swept under the rug.

"King Liang?"

A slight smirk played on Song Knife's lips as he glanced at the elderly man in the python robe. "Do you know the relationship between Xu Xing, the Founding Emperor of your Siming Country, and I, this True Monarch?"

There isn't just one method to sever a Dragon Pulse.

Overthrowing a previous dynasty is merely a mortal method to sever the connection between a Human King physique and its Dragon Pulse.

The Cultivation World, after all its development, has long had ways to deal with the Human King physique.

By using a blood relative of the Human King physique, a Secret Technique can also sever the connection between the Human King physique and its Dragon Pulse...

King Liang was precisely such a descendant of the Xu Family's Royal Family whom Song Knife had brought here.

"This humble one... does not know."

King Liang, Xu Zhi, felt his eyelids twitch. He hastily cupped his hands in salute, his tone deferential.

He had come to the Immortal Sect this time hoping to beg for longevity.

He just hadn't expected that after this Immortal, known as True Lord Song, had "coaxed" him into completing a certain ritual, the True Lord's attitude would completely change, shedding all its previous warmth.

"Xu Xing is my, Song Knife's, sworn nemesis!"

"What you did just now..."

"has utterly ruined your ancestor's prospects!"

Song Knife sneered, laying bare the truth.

If Xu Xing were still in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace right now, what I just did would never have succeeded.

The slightest move would have been detected by the Sect's Dao Lords.

But unfortunately, ever since the Flying Feather Immortal Palace's "revolution" fourteen years ago, Xu Xing has been like a dead man, his whereabouts still unknown.

Gradually, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, now controlled by the Aristocratic Families, shifted its stance on Xu Xing from initial attempts to recruit him to complete indifference.

That is also why my actions were successful this time.

"What?"

"Ruined my ancestor's prospects?"

King Liang, Xu Zhi, turned pale with shock upon hearing this.

Inwardly, he was unconcerned.

After all, the future of Grand Ancestor Emperor Tiande had nothing to do with him.

Yet, on his face, he still feigned an expression of utmost fear and trepidation.

"Your filial piety is commendable..."

Seeing King Liang Xu Zhi's demeanor, Song Knife nodded slightly. "Very well. This is a Life Extension Pill. After you consume it, your life can be extended by twenty years."

He took a Pill Bottle from his sleeve and handed it to the Immortal Maiden attending him.

The Immortal Maiden brought out a Wooden Tray, placed the Pill Bottle on the Lacquered Wood Tray, then descended the dais steps and presented it to King Liang Xu Zhi.

"If your ancestor returns within twenty years, you are to present yourself before him and accept your death."

Song Knife stated.

Though he was vengeful and calculating, he also possessed a certain rugged integrity.

He does not kill the filial!

Seeing this, King Liang hesitated for a moment, then accepted the Pill, expressed his thanks, and withdrew.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Law Enforcement Team from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace arrived to hold Song Knife accountable.

The charge was: using a Secret Technique to interfere with the Condensing Pill of Xu Xing, a disciple of First-class genuine transmission.

"Song Knife accepts his punishment!"

Song Knife did not resist, allowing the Law Enforcement Team to take him away.

Accepting punishment was one thing, but he had already made his calculations.

He knew the Sect's disciplinary action against him would undoubtedly be a case of 'turn a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing.'

After all, Xu Xing was practically an official of the former regime now.

How could the sword of the current court be used to strike down one of its own officials for the sake of an official from a bygone era...?

"Go and tell Madam to request that the Dao Lord of her clan intercede and seek clemency for my transgressions."

Before being led away, Song Knife used Sound transmission via divine consciousness to instruct the Immortal Maiden attending him.

One must always have a backup plan.

The Hai Family, one of the Nine Mountain Great Halls, was now his wife's family; they would surely not stand by and watch him suffer severe punishment within the Sect.
