Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

He glanced at one side of the cultivation room. Here, a hidden mechanism that blocked divine sense was set up. Inside the mechanism was the Thousand Miles Teleportation Array he had laid.

Arranging a hundred-mile or thousand-mile teleportation array wasn't difficult. A Third-Level Array Master could construct one successfully at a certain cost. What was difficult were the ten-thousand-mile teleportation array, the hundred-thousand-mile teleportation array, and the Cross-State Teleportation Array. The longer an array's teleportation distance, the more difficult it was to set up.

Within East Huangzhou, teleportation arrays were not rare. Various sects possessed classics detailing such arrays. Xu Xing had placed the teleportation array in the Surging Jade Mansion as a precaution, an extra layer of preparedness.

Of course, relying solely on the Thousand Miles Teleportation Array would hardly be enough to escape the pursuit of a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord from the Immeasurable Sect. What Xu Xing truly relied on was the Cross-State Teleportation Array within Small Ring Mountain. This Thousand Miles Teleportation Array... After two transfers, it could take him near Small Ring Mountain's Cross-State Teleportation Array.

Xu Xing flicked his sleeve robe, closed the teleportation array, and left the Surging Jade Mansion.

"Yin and Yang Harmony Pact" was a top-notch dual cultivation method from ancient times. In the fate deduction, Golden Rainbow Ancestor Yan Luanqing's willingness to humble herself and become his Dao spouse was largely related to this dual cultivation method. This dual cultivation method had qualification restrictions: only cultivators who had formed a Top-Grade Dao Pill could practice it. Any other cultivator who attempted it would explode and die.

It was important to note that even among the Ten Major Sects, True Monarchs with High-Grade Third Rank Dao Pills were few, mostly holding positions as chiefs in their respective sects. The Immeasurable Sect, however, was merely a small sect, where a Dao Pill Daoist with a High-Grade Third Rank Dao Pill was a rarity seen perhaps once in a thousand years. The last cultivator to condense a High-Grade Third-Rank Dao Pill was none other than Golden Rainbow Ancestor Yan Luanqing herself.

Although other sects in North Yue Country also had cultivators no less talented than Yan Luanqing, differences in sect affiliation posed a problem. Regardless of whether Yan Luanqing married into another sect or someone married into hers, one of the two sects involved would likely disagree. Compared to male cultivators from other sects, Xu Xing was far more suitable. He was also an Immeasurable Sect cultivator, so there was no concern that their sect's efforts would end up benefiting another.

As for... chastity? The Cultivation World differed from the Mortal World; strength was paramount. Yan Xiling had countless male lovers, yet who had ever dared to criticize her?

「Golden Rainbow Valley.」

Surging Jade Mansion.

Seeing the Cave Mansion entrance slowly open, Gu Chengbin and Yan Xiling exchanged glances. They hurried from nearby mountain peaks, one after the other, arriving at the Cave Mansion Entrance, ready to congratulate Xu Xing. Following behind them were True Monarchs and True Men of lesser prominence.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chang, on achieving the Dao Pill! From now on, I shall address you as True Monarch when we meet," Sect Leader Gu Chengbin said, cupping his hands with a smile.

Xu Xing had condensed a Top-Grade Dao Pill this time. It was well known that it was virtually impossible for someone with a middle-grade Returning Core to condense a Top-Grade Dao Pill, unless assisted by heavenly and earthly treasures. But Gu Chengbin didn't dwell on that. It was perfectly normal for freelance cultivators to conceal parts of their past. Since he had chosen to accept 'Chang Kun' into the Immeasurable Sect all those years ago, he wouldn't regret it now. 'Chang Kun' had been with the Immeasurable Sect for nearly a hundred years; his membership was an established fact. There was no point in dredging up old issues over such a matter. Doing so would only dishearten the disciples. Besides, which cultivator didn't have a few secrets?

"According to tradition, whenever a new True Monarch emerges, the Six Major Sects of North Yue Country send invitations to other sects, inviting them to attend the celebratory ceremony. However, I see Junior Brother Chang doesn't seem like someone who enjoys ostentation..." After presenting a Thousand-Year Ginseng as a congratulatory gift, Sect Leader Gu Chengbin stroked his long beard beneath his chin and asked Xu Xing about his future plans.

Holding a Foundation Establishment Ceremony meant making a grand display. The sect's subsequent arrangements for Xu Xing would depend on this choice. If he chose not to hold the ceremony, it would signify a desire to remain low-profile, and the sect would help maintain his discretion.

'To achieve wealth and honor without returning home to display it is like wearing brocade robes in the dark of night,' Gu Chengbin mused. Reaching the Dao Pill realm granted a lifespan of fifteen hundred years and a prominent status. Valuing face and desiring a grand display was perfectly understandable in such circumstances. Neither choice was inherently superior or inferior. Endlessly toiling in cultivation with no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul realm would simply be a waste of such a long lifespan. It was unnecessary to become like Fengping Valley through cultivation.

"Chang Mou thanks the Sect Master for his kind intentions." This time, Xu Xing did not choose to remain low-key but agreed to Gu Chengbin holding the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

Ostensibly, the Foundation Establishment Ceremony seemed merely to satisfy a newly-promoted True Monarch's 'vanity.' In reality, the benefits for the new True Monarch extended far beyond that. It was a formal recognition, a symbol of the North Yue Country's Cultivation World accepting a newly promoted Dao Lord. It was the way to officially join their circle!

Moreover, there was another point. Xu Xing didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Although Xu Xing didn't know if Sect Leader Gu Chengbin's offer was a test, he knew that, generally, only those with sensitive identities would choose not to hold a Foundation Establishment Ceremony. Of course, there were some who were single-minded in cultivation and didn't want to hold Foundation Establishment Ceremonies so as not to be disturbed in their cultivation, but such examples were few and far between.

Xu Xing's enemies were in East Huangzhou. In Nanyan Continent, he had no need to be overly cautious and risk arousing suspicion.

"Excellent!" Gu Chengbin's face lit up with joy as he nodded. "I shall immediately send out widespread invitations to all sects."

'Chang Kun' daring to openly hold the Foundation Establishment Ceremony indicated that his identity and background likely had no major issues. Even if there were some, they probably had no connection to North Yue Country, Gu Chengbin thought.

"Sister Yan, please chat with Junior Brother Xu first. I have many duties to attend to, so I must excuse myself for now," Gu Chengbin said, taking his leave. A white cloud formed beneath his feet, and in an instant, he vanished from Golden Rainbow Valley.

"The Ancestor has spoken," Yan Xiling began, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she gazed intently at Xu Xing for a few moments. "She has agreed to betroth Wen Yuan to you, Junior Brother Chang. I wonder, what are your thoughts on this?"
