A Record of a Mortal s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 1137: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1133: Deja Vu
 

“I’m afraid this person really has some divine skills; otherwise, how could a late Foundation Establishment Sect cultivator appear so at ease in my presence?” Wen Qing slowly spoke.

“With that being the case, this is quite troublesome. Since we can’t kill him easily, we can only try our best to win him over. But once he joins the Star Palace, how can Ling Yuling suppress him? I’m afraid once we pass away, he will reverse the roles, and the whole Star Palace will fall into his hands.” The man’s voice turned cold, suddenly revealing a sharp murderous intent within his words.

“You mean to say, we still have to eliminate this person! But if by any chance he’s exceptionally formidable, and we don’t land a blow on our first strike, we would then forge a deadly enemy out of Ling Yuling for nothing. The consequences are simply unimaginable.” Wen Qing started to hesitate.

“Hmph, this person has already emerged out of nowhere in the Scattered Stars Sea; if we don’t find a way to deal with it, it will still disrupt the order of the Scattered Stars Sea. Our prospects for the large cultivation sects are dim, so we can’t allow the Star Palace’s lineage to perish at our hands. If this person cannot be used by us, he must be eliminated. Even if we risk something, we have to try,” the man coldly snorted, saying resolutely.

“While what you say makes sense, this matter is of great importance. I still think it would be better to plan for the long term!” Wen Qing shook her head, clearly not agreeing with her partner’s opinion.

“What, are you really so apprehensive? I refuse to believe that with the two of us joining forces and using the power of Yuanci Mountain, he could actually escape from our hands!” the man said arrogantly.

“If the two of us join forces and employ the power of Yuanci Mountain, indeed there is a seventy to eighty percent chance of eliminating him. But this person is extremely cautious and probably won’t come to the top of Sage Mountain on his own. While Yuanci Mountain is unparalleled as a defensive weapon, it is rather clumsy to activate it for the purpose of pursuit. If we want to catch him off guard, the only way would be to envelop the entire Starry Sky Palace with Yuanci Mountain in that instant when he teleports back from the Outer Star Seas. Only then will he have no escape route. Otherwise, once he starts to display his movement techniques and doesn’t clash with us head on, it will be exceedingly difficult to eliminate him,” the woman said in a somber voice.

“I am well aware of that. I heard that you gave him a Guest Elder Token from our palace. That’s good. If he uses this token, we can track his whereabouts and estimate the timing of his return. In that case, setting up an ambush at the Starry Sky Palace is not out of the question,” the man spoke grimly.

Wen Qing’s brows furrowed slightly, she didn’t respond to this statement, but suddenly shifted the topic and spoke a few words that astonished the man.

“Historically, the rulers of the Star Palace have primarily been a husband and wife duo. Ling Yuling, that girl, is already an early Nascent Soul cultivator, but she has yet to choose a partner for dual cultivation. Only by cultivating our palace’s unique secret technique can her chances increase significantly during the advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage. As long as one partner advances to the late stage, they would be enough to deter the trivial. That is also how we secured our positions as rulers of the Star Palace. But now, there are only a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the palace of similar age to Ling Yuling, and she doesn’t seem to consider any of them worthy. This is troublesome! What do you think of Han Li? If he agrees to become husband and wife with Ling Yuling, why don’t we simply hand over the control of the Star Palace to him? This way, whether Ling Yuling is actually in charge of the Star Palace makes no difference. Considering his astonishing rate of cultivation, it’s not impossible for him to advance to the Divinity Transformation stage. Under his protection, Ling Yuling may even have the opportunity to achieve the great Dao.” Wen Qing pondered, sharing the strategy she had been considering for a long time.

“Have him partner with Ling Yuling? That indeed sounds like a perfect solution. However, this person being so young and already a late Foundation Establishment Sect cultivator, probably already has a partner for dual cultivation, or even numerous concubines,” the man hesitated, a trace of relaxation in his expression.

“Even if he does, what of it? How could they compare to Ling Yuling? If we present the grand inheritance of the Star Palace as her dowry, he should clearly know which is more significant. If it comes to it, he can just divorce them and make them concubines. Such incidents aren’t unheard of in our realm of immortal cultivators,” Wen Qing said with a light smile.

“Alright, let’s do it this way. You can give this method a try. If by any chance he does not agree, then we can join forces to eliminate him,” the man nodded decisively.

“Even if he disagrees, there’s no need for us to fall out with him right away. I have another strategy that can make him entangle himself in his own web without any spare time to interfere with the Star Palace’s rule, gradually causing his own downfall,” Wen Qing’s eyes revealed a strange expression as she said with a cold laugh.

“You have such a method? Just don’t outsmart yourself. Someone who can advance to the later stage is not easy to deceive,” the man expressed some surprise.

Hearing this, Wen Qing let out a low chuckle and then began to silently transmit her voice to him.

“To do this! No, I absolutely disagree…” The man suddenly startled and his expression darkened after hearing a few words.

Wen Qing, however, unconcerned, continued to silently transmit her plan. After hearing a bit more, the man’s expression changed, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared, falling silent.

When Wen Qing finished speaking a while later, and the transmission came to an end, the man narrowed his eyes and fell deep into thought.

Whereas Wen Qing simply smiled silently.

Who knows how long passed before the man’s brows lifted, and a resolute look crossed his face:

“Let’s proceed as you suggested. If it doesn’t succeed, we can use other means. In any case, before we pass away, we must resolve this person along with the six golden blades, Wan Sangu, and others, leaving no threat to Ling Yuling when she presides over the Scattered Stars Sea!”

“Of course. We still have over a hundred years of life left, enough to deal with these matters cleanly. There’s no need to rush it. Hehe, as long as he is focused on breaking through to the Divinity Transformation stage, he will fell into our trap without fail,” the woman confidently muttered to herself in conclusion.

While the Heavenly Star Sages husband and wife were finalizing their plans in the Sage Mountain cave, Han Li was in a quiet wooden house on Silver Shark Island, holding the wrist of a frail young girl with one hand, and using a strand of Spiritual Power to probe something uncertain inside her body.

This girl was none other than Wen Siyue’s beloved daughter, a girl named “Tian Qin’er.”

She sat cross-legged on a wooden bed in the room, her face slightly flushed as she raised her half-bare arm, while Han Li sat at the edge of the bed, his face expressionless.

A little farther away, Wen Siyue and that refined man stood with their hands tied, not daring to take a deep breath, but their gazes towards the young girl were extremely earnest.

As for those four Foundation Establishment Stage disciples, they had been waiting outside the house all along, to prevent any outsiders from disturbing the people inside.

“Indeed, it’s rather tricky. This poison seems alive, incessantly devouring the spiritual power within her body and rampaging through her meridians! It’s no wonder that you and your husband are at a loss as to what to do with this poison, having fed her quite a few medicinal pills. Without them, she would have been unable to hold on long ago. But this is only a temporary solution like quenching thirst with poison! The more spiritual energy the poison devours, the stronger it becomes. If this continues, her vitality will surely be cut off within three months if the poison is not removed.” Han Li finally released the girl’s wrist and spoke thus.

Upon hearing this, the complexions of Wen Siyue and her husband changed drastically, and the refined man even asked with a slightly trembling voice:

“Han Li, is it true that with your divine abilities, you also cannot expel this poison?”

“I only said it was a bit tricky; when did I say I couldn’t remove it!” Han Li glanced at the man and said coldly.

“My apologies for the presumption, I hope you can forgive my impertinence!” Mr. Tian finally remembered that the person before him was a great cultivator, not someone he could speak to casually, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Han Li said nothing more, turning his head to give the girl lying on the bed two glances, his eyes flashing a trace of surprise.

From the moment he entered the room, the girl had remained silent. Except for a flush on her face when her wrist was caught, she was unusually calm.

This was very different from ordinary people! Even cultivators would not be able to remain so indifferent to life and death.

What further surprised Han Li was that he sensed a strangely familiar sensation from this young girl. This feeling was somehow familiar yet foreign, ephemeral and elusive. Had he not recently advanced to the late Nascent Soul Stage, greatly increasing the sensitivity of his spiritual sense, he might not have been able to sense this faint feeling from the girl. As for the strange poison in the girl, it was a minor issue for him!

Feeling intrigued, Han Li stared at the girl’s unremarkable face, falling into deep thought.

This time, although Wen Siyue and Mr. Tian felt strange, they exchanged glances and dared not disturb Han Li any further.

Suddenly, Han Li’s figure trembled as if he remembered something, and he again looked at this “Tian Qin’er” with an extremely strange gaze.

“Do you understand the Dao of Formations?” Surprisingly, when Han Li opened his mouth, he asked about something completely unrelated to detoxification.

Upon hearing this, the young girl looked at Han Li with a surprised expression in her big eyes, and Wen Siyue and her husband also showed shocked expressions.

“Senior Han, how did you know that my daughter understands the Dao of Formations?” Wen Siyue couldn’t help but ask cautiously.

“It’s nothing. In the past, I knew someone who was also skilled in the Dao of Formations; your daughter resembles her a bit, that’s all I asked casually.” Han Li replied offhandedly, but in his mind, the image of a graceful, beautiful figure emerged. It was the defiant woman named Xin Ruyin whom he had befriended when his great path was not yet complete.

In fact, the two of them looked completely different, but the unique temperament they both exuded and the feeling they gave him were eerily similar.

Could it just be a coincidence? But a vague premonition made Han Li feel it was not that simple.

His eyes flashed, and suddenly he grabbed the girl’s other palm, flipped it slightly, revealing the palm of her hand.

There, the size of a soybean, a red mole sat right in the center of her palm, as vivid red as fresh blood.

“Impossible!”

Han Li let out a cry of disbelief, his complexion changing dramatically! (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com, where there are more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
