Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Ha～Te

When the nine old men gathered together, Han Yu also hid to the side.

As midnight arrived, the Glazed Bottle trembled, and soon a pill was spat out.

Han Yu’s mind followed the pill, and soon he was staring at it intently.

Self-Binding Pill: After consumption, the user weaves a cocoon using life force. The cultivation speed inside the cocoon triples. Side effect: The weaving process occurs daily, drawing three days of life force each time. It cannot be interrupted until life force is exhausted.

Continuously extracting life force to supply cultivation.

Isn’t this like drinking poison to quench thirst?

Han Yu glanced at the group of death-fearing old ghosts beside him. This thing was not only unrelated to them but just looking at it would make them explode.

His cousin suddenly tugged at him, sneaking closer.

Before the outing, he didn’t understand Han Yu’s series of actions.

The Corpse Refining Lineage is clearly setting him up. Why not hide properly instead of jumping out?

Qi Bai wasn’t wrong; if these sects don’t have a thunderous means, they will linger like maggots on a bone, especially since Han Yu is alone with no deterrence for them, they will be even more unscrupulous.

Like him, a young master of the Mo Family, no sect dares to intercept him to demand artifacts.

”Why don’t you come back to the Mo Family with me after dawn, they probably wouldn’t dare run wild there,” his cousin said to Han Yu.

You just need to hide for a while until things calm down before coming out again.

Now, waves of people are only stirred by the appearance of the pills. Once they get enough time, they won’t be able to hide the pill’s side effects.

With all sorts of outrageous aftereffects, how many people would dare to swallow the pills?

When they find out that the stronger the efficacy of Han Yu’s pills, the more ridiculous the side effects, most people would likely give up their efforts.

Not to mention, they should take a look at what happened to the Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower.

He gained sixty years of life, experiencing over twenty thousand renewals and deaths.

This is practically torture; getting these sixty years, the old man would soon regret it.

Without mentioning how long it’s been, the old man, although looking like a young man, has a face that seems he’s about to die any moment.

Han Yu shook his head, politely declining his cousin’s good intentions.

”The Corpse Refining Lineage wants to make trouble, and so does the Inspectorate, can I really hide forever?”

Even if it’s not today’s Dongling City, as long as he goes to any place, unless he doesn’t appear, once he shows, it will inevitably cause a chase from these people.

”Cultivators are human too, and humans are strange beings; the more you hide, the more they think you’ve got something good on you.”

”Don’t they like pills? I just happen to like giving them pills. Since that’s the case, I openly give them, let them eat if they dare.”

His cousin fell silent, not considering Han Yu’s actions reckless; perhaps he was exactly right.

With so many cultivators brewing constantly, it would be troublesome.

If cultivators from all over the world are looking for him, eventually, there will be chaos.

”Try not to kill anyone.”

This is a damn near impossible task; the cultivators of the world cannot be killed off entirely.

You can kill people, but you can’t kill human greed; as long as greed exists, Han Yu will never be done with people wanting pills.

”By the way, can you really rival the Realm of Transcendence?”

His cousin then recalled Han Yu’s deeds on the walls of Dongling City yesterday; his expression turned strange.

The Realm of Transcendence! It’s not the Divine Gaze Realm.

Even they, disciples of the Nine Sects, dared not imagine if they could enter this realm. The number one prodigy in Piaomiao City, now at twenty-three years old and at Divine Gaze Great Perfection, might not cross into the Realm of Transcendence even in ten years.

This is despite the sect’s substantial support.

”When Qi Bai broke through to the Realm of Transcendence before fifty, it caused quite a stir among the Evil Path.”

His cousin sighed, although on the Righteous Path, the sect’s resources ensure each generation is stronger than the previous, none had broken into the Realm of Transcendence by thirty.

No… if Han Yu is counted in, possibly a record of reaching the Realm of Transcendence at twenty has been created.

The Divine Gaze Realm is the pinnacle for mortals, where even those of average talent can enter after a lifetime.

The Realm of Transcendence! That’s where the true extraordinary begins, a transformation from the mundane to the ethereal, from Divine Gaze to Transcendence.

From True Essence to Spiritual Power, they are incomparable in both. Even their methods differ greatly, as seen from the simple exchanges between the Great Elder and Qi Bai.

The illusion of that mountain equaled an actual mountain, and Qi Bai’s giant axe seemed like a Divine Soldier.

If they let loose and fought, Dongling City would surely be destroyed.

”You’re a complete monster,” his cousin said with a hint of envy, sighing.

Their conversation actually reached the ears of others around.

Regarding Han Yu’s advancement, they were the most astonished of all.

”Could body cultivation be faster?”

The Elder of Langya Mountain mused aloud. They are one of the two sects out of the Nine that incorporate body cultivation, although they promote body strengthening through Cultivation Techniques.

Yet body cultivation shouldn’t be harder?

The path of Body Cultivation has been explored, but the biggest challenge is finding enough external forces to perfectly stimulate the body and nourish it.

In contrast, mainstream cultivation has the traditions and achievements of predecessors, following the steps is a broad and open road.

”Could your Galan Temple’s Vajra Indestructible achieve such a level?”

He then looked at the old monk, as the little monks from Galan Temple are renowned for their resilience among the Nine Sects, making them the most credible.

The old monk frowned, shook his head, and sighed.

Vajra Indestructible depends on the comparison; against mainstream cultivators, indeed, Galan Temple’s Vajra Indestructible Technique can strengthen the body to a level others can only dream of.

But compared to Han Yu...

”Vajra Indestructible Technique cannot break into the Realm of Transcendence.”

The elderly monk spoke tactfully, ”Even the patriarch who created this technique couldn’t break into the Realm of Transcendence with it. What is there to compare?”

”Then forget it.”

The elder from Langya Mountain abandoned the idea of promoting body cultivation after returning to the sect. Even Galan Temple couldn’t do it, so the technique of body cultivation doesn’t seem suitable for them.

”Could this guy have achieved it by taking pills?”

The elder from Qinglan Sect glanced at Han Yu and speculated.

”If you had that many pills, wouldn’t you take them?”

The elder from the Nanli Sword Studio chuckled and retorted.

”But this person is hard to discern between good and evil. He is already comparable to the Realm of Transcendence. In a few more years, I’m afraid no one in the Cultivator Realm will be able to stop him.”

The elder from Star Moon Pavilion suddenly reminded with a grave expression.

At twenty, reaching the Realm of Transcendence, what were they doing at twenty?

Perhaps still bickering with their junior sisters or competing with their fellow disciples.

Or maybe being punished by their master to cultivate.

At most, they would only argue with seniors in the Divine Gaze Realm; they hadn’t even seen cultivators in the Realm of Transcendence at that time.

”Worrying about things that don’t concern you.”

The great-uncle of the Mo Family snorted derisively, mocking a group of old fellows already halfway into the grave, who wouldn’t have anything to do with it in the future.

”Of course, you don’t have to worry.”

The elder from Dragon and Phoenix Palace rolled eyes at him. The relationship between Young Master Mo and Han Yu is quite close, so no matter what, the Mo Family’s future relationship with Han Yu won’t be bad.

They are not so much discussing issues of the Cultivator Realm as they are concerned about their sect’s future relations with Han Yu.

”The Inspectorate did well here; since the person has shown no malice, why assume a villainous role?”

The old man from Piaomiao City pondered carefully, then nodded, seemingly approving of the Inspectorate’s approach.

”Discernment between good and evil? Once reaching the Realm of Transcendence, can one still distinguish between them?”

For a group of people like them, who have surpassed worldly concerns, can the worldly definitions of good and evil still apply to them?

”Moreover, the people you old ghosts have cultivated over the years are probably only stronger, not weaker. I’ve watched all of you hide your strengths tightly.”

This remark drew a round of rolled eyes. If it’s about hiding, Piaomiao City is the one most skilled at it among the sects.

The name Piaomiao truly isn’t just a joke; the other eight sects still cannot see through the true strength of this leading sect.

”Aren’t you guys tired? Is probing each other like this fun?”

The great elder, after donning his long robe, spoke with a mocking tone and then lamented as he stretched his body.

The clothes were extremely ill-fitting. In his youth, he was too robust, now the simple robe was tight-fitting.

He probably needs to carry plenty of clothes to be ready to change at any time.

Everyone is all about probing each other’s bottom line, speaking nonsense as if without a care.

With the Nine Sects passing down from generation to generation, who wouldn’t have some ace in the hole? No matter what, it wouldn’t get to the extent as described.

They are truly all old foxes, wily and cunning.

”Instead of probing, why not focus on the corpse refining lineage? What do you all think?”

Although disciples from the Nine Sects participate in guarding the imperial court, it doesn’t mean they really step in.

If the Nine Sects were to step in personally, their action would certainly be a thunderous strike.

”It has somehow ruined my Mo Family’s business. Though they do not dare to harm people openly, the Mo Family will certainly demand an explanation.”

This essentially represents the stance of the Mo Family.

”These folks hide their heads and show their tails, probably with no small intentions. Back then, the matter of annihilation, the sect has no record of it, truly bizarre!”

After speaking, the great elder frowned tightly, mystified by this issue.

Regarding the annihilation of the corpse refining lineage, such a significant event has no mention in the sect’s records.

”I’ve also investigated, and my Dragon and Phoenix Palace also has no record of the annihilation of the corpse refining lineage.”

The elder from Dragon and Phoenix Palace spoke in astonishment. He thought it was only Dragon and Phoenix Palace that had this issue.

But unexpectedly, a series of responses began to rise continuously.

”You’ll find it hard to believe, but my Nanli Sword Studio also doesn’t have related records.”

”Langya Mountain also doesn’t.”

...

At last, they all turned towards Piaomiao City.

Amid the Nine Sects, only Piaomiao City was left.

”Let me ask you a question, when did the Corpse Refining Sect get annihilated?”

The elder from Piaomiao City asked the crowd with profound eyes.

”A century ago, perhaps...”

”Two centuries, probably...”

”I recall the most widespread in the Cultivator Realm is that it happened before the previous dynasty, wasn’t it?”

The voices mixed, and the final conclusion was surprisingly inconsistent.

The annihilation of the corpse refining lineage is a given, but there isn’t a unified point in time when it happened.

It’s absurd, especially considering that the Nine Sects haven’t any related records, plus those involved back then must exist, yet no word has leaked out.

Such a major event, the Nine Sects must have been involved somehow.

”I find it all a bit of a stretch. If the corpse refining lineage was just controlling corpses to roam, why would it matter to my Nanli Sword Studio enough to get involved?”

Indeed!

What exactly did the corpse refining lineage do? The reasons for its demise, if merely as rumored, what would make the Nine Sects take action?

”If you want to find out, stick to that guy and observe what others intend to use him for.”

The elder from Piaomiao City glanced at Han Yu, who was conversing with his cousin in the distance, and said heavily.
