I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 303 - 298: A Gentleman Does Not Stand Beneath a Perilous Wall

’What ulterior motives could I have?’

’I couldn’t care less if you go to the Taihe Sect or the Big Mouth Sect!’

’My future plans don’t require you to do anything. When I’m confident I can brave that passage, just follow me and don’t hold me back!’

Of course, he couldn’t say this out loud.

It was too hurtful.

After sending Jie Yu back to continue her infiltration of the Taihe Sect, Du Youqian fell into deep thought.

Master Wu Ji was the most senior Supreme Elder of the Taihe Sect, while Elder Shi was a Supreme Elder whose word was law in the Holy Blood Sect.

In Momenan, they were Cultivators at the apex of the pyramid, holding immense power.

If they were to get angry, it wouldn’t be something a mere river of blood in the Mortal World could quell. Their rage could change the color of the heavens and earth, toppling mountains and rivers.

So what kind of person could be so arrogant as to boss everyone around, not even giving these two the slightest courtesy? Who could order about these two Golden Core Late Stage Masters—men who could make all of Momenan tremble with a stomp of their foot—with absolutely no respect?

The answer was obvious.

Only Cultivators from the outside world.

But that raised a question.

The Cultivators from the outside world certainly hadn’t come for a vacation.

If they came, it must have been to repair the Teleportation Array.

But Du Youqian had learned through Divination that he couldn’t use that Teleportation Array to travel to the outside world.

And there was no sign that the Holy Blood and Taihe Two Sects were selecting talented Cultivators to send to the outside world.

’Does this mean the Teleportation Array probably isn’t fixed yet?’

’Those Cultivators from the outside world can’t be a bunch of incompetents!’

But if the Teleportation Array wasn’t fixed, then where had Master Wu Ji and Elder Shi disappeared to?

The more Du Youqian thought about it, the more his head ached.

After racking his brains, he simply summoned his Flying Boat and flew out to sea, intending to investigate the Teleportation Array himself and get to the bottom of it.

The cave residence housing the Teleportation Array was deep beneath the sea.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator would naturally be unable to reach it; they’d be crushed into a meat patty before they even arrived.

Only a Core Formation Master could come and go freely, and even then it would take some effort and the aid of a Treasure.

Du Youqian, however, was a Body Refining Cultivator with an incredibly tough Physique. Compared to an orthodox Core Formation Master, you couldn’t say the difference was small—you could only say he far surpassed them.

Plunging into the deep sea caused him no difficulty at all.

The monkey disliked seawater and hadn’t come along. Du Youqian had let Little Wukong roam freely by the shore.

To a Mortal, the deep, dark sea bottom was nothing but pitch black, but in the eyes of a Cultivator, it was a vibrant, colorful world.

All sorts of strange aquatic animals, beautiful swimming fish, and fluorescent corals and giant clams... it was a captivating sight.

But Du Youqian was in no mood to appreciate any of it.

He hurried to the cave residence and, after a moment’s thought, used the Nine Yin Nine Yang Ten Thousand Transformations Hidden Heaven Technique to disguise himself as Nong Jiasong, a True Inheritor of the Holy Blood Sect who had reached Core Formation.

Back in the day, this person had been completely suppressed by Du Youqian within the Holy Blood Sect.

But now, the tables had turned, and he had become a leading figure in the Holy Blood Sect. Truly, the world was unpredictable.

By appearing as Nong Jiasong, no matter who was standing guard—even a Core Formation Master from the Taihe Sect—they would have to be cautious. By the time Du Youqian leisurely inspected the Teleportation Array and left, even if the other party realized something was wrong, they would have no choice but to swallow the loss in silence.

But when Du Youqian entered the cave residence, he found it had been abandoned for a long time, left unrepaired for at least several decades, if not a century.

The dilapidated Arrays, the moss in the cracks, the foul air, the strange insects hopping about, the untreated traces of battle—every detail silently hinted at the ruin of this place.

There was no Core Formation Master garrisoning the location at all.

So, either the Teleportation Array was never fixed...

...or it was fixed and then damaged again.

Based on the battle traces, Du Youqian was inclined to believe the latter.

These battle traces were different from the ones left behind when the Demon Race had ambushed and killed Pang Master during his last visit.

Apparently, this place had been attacked again about a hundred years ago.

The only question was, who were the attackers?

Du Youqian could, of course, use Divination to get some clues, but he wasn’t in a hurry to do so.

Instead, he familiarly made his way to the room containing the Teleportation Array.

The moment he saw it, he let out a soft sigh.

Although he had expected it, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret upon seeing the Teleportation Array, which had clearly been repaired only to be destroyed again.

If it hadn’t been destroyed... he could have saved himself a great deal of effort.

With his talent in this life, he was definitely a peerless prodigy, the kind that appeared only once every few centuries.

If the Teleportation Array were still intact, he wouldn’t need to go to all the trouble of tempering his Physique, reaching Body Refining Core Formation, and braving that passage where death was all but certain.

He could have just gone to the outside world through this Teleportation Array as a chosen genius. Wouldn’t that have been wonderful!

Du Youqian started walking out glumly when a thought suddenly struck him.

He didn’t stop walking, but his mind raced.

’Just now, I must have triggered an extremely well-hidden Array.’

’The function of that Array... it’s like countless tiny sensors.’

’But it’s been improved to be even more covert.’

’It can monitor a person’s movements and sounds within a certain area.’

’Then it can transmit the signals captured by these sensors to a specific receiving point via a Long-Distance Communication Array.’

’Who set this up?’

’Have they discovered me?’

’What’s going to happen next?’

The other party would obviously never guess that he was an Array Master, capable of sensing such a well-hidden Array.

And that he understood its functions perfectly.

Therefore, they would likely come swaggering over to intercept... and ambush him.

If the attackers merely sent a few Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators or a single Core Formation Early Stage Master to match his perceived strength, then there was nothing to say. He’d just kill them.

He had already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection. Killing a Core Formation Early Stage Master wasn’t just easy, it was child’s play.

It would cost him basically nothing.

But if the other party took him seriously and dispatched a Golden Core Middle Stage or even Late Stage Master...

Although in all of Momenan, there were fewer than ten Golden Core Middle Stage Masters, and only two at the Golden Core Late Stage (not counting Shi Shentong and Master Wu Ji).

But you never knew.

Maybe they just enjoyed bullying the weak, using Mount Tai to crush an egg.

If they really sent one or two Golden Core Middle or Late Stage Masters, what would he do then? Cry?

A Golden Core Middle Stage Master would be manageable; if he couldn’t win, he could still escape.

But a Golden Core Late Stage Master... Du Youqian really wasn’t confident he could handle that.

A wise man doesn’t stand under a crumbling wall.

Du Youqian had no intention of gambling with his own life.

So, he could set a trap.

And he had to call for backup... no, call for his monkey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three Cultivators flew over the sea, each riding their own Treasure.

Their Escape Speeds were not fast. They were clearly in no hurry, and even seemed a bit perfunctory.

The one in the lead had white hair and a black beard, and his face was so gaunt he looked like a layer of skin stretched over a skull, with a few blood vessels sandwiched in between.

There seemed to be no other flesh, blood, or organs.

The two behind him flew in a triangular formation.

One was a Kun Cultivator, with a lovely face and fair, radiant skin. Her gaze flowed with what seemed to be deep affection, and her faint smile was like a peerless vintage wine that could intoxicate anyone with a single glance.

She stood on a Red Silk ribbon and wore an elaborate black palace gown that seemed to gather all the colors of heaven and earth onto her person.

The other was a Daoist Nun, dressed in a simple Crane Robe. Curiously, she wore no Daoist Hat, but instead had an extremely ornate Golden Silk Nine Phoenix Tassel in her hair, paired with a Red Plum Hollow Gold Thread Pearl Flower. Around her neck hung a string of flawless, crystal-clear Pink Pearls, each the size of a longan fruit.

Though she was beautiful, her expression was tinged with sorrow.

At first glance, she seemed to be lamenting the state of the world, but on closer inspection, it looked more like she was resentfully blaming it.

The three of them flew while communicating with each other via Divine Sense.

The Daoist Nun complained, "Sending the three of us to kill a mere little thief at the Foundation Establishment Realm... if word of this gets out, people will laugh their heads off. I have no idea what the Master was thinking."

The withered, white-haired, black-bearded Cultivator in front said coldly, "I don’t know what the Master was thinking. But Red Jade Master, if you dare show the slightest disrespect to the Master, I’ll skin you alive first."

A trace of fear flashed in the Red Jade Daoist Nun’s eyes. "When was I disrespectful to the Master?" she said, annoyed. "I just think his arrangements are making a mountain out of a molehill. If you ask me, sending you alone would have been enough, Master Rongku. Doesn’t the Master like using Divination? Why not cast a divination?"

Master Rongku said coldly, "Why would the Master need to explain his actions to the likes of us? But I can say a few words on his behalf. Before sending us, the Master did indeed perform a Divination."

"And the result?"

"..." Master Rongku glared at Red Jade Master with his dead fish-like eyes. "There was no result. That person... is beyond calculation."

The Red Jade Daoist Nun asked, disgruntled, "’Beyond calculation,’ what does that mean?"

Master Rongku fell silent.

After a long moment, he finally said, "In short, there’s something unusual about this person. We need to be careful and not capsize in a calm gutter."

The Red Jade Daoist Nun just wanted to roll her eyes. "Three Core Formation Masters sent to kill one Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Especially when, among the three of us, you and Master Qingqiu are at the Golden Core Middle Stage. I really don’t see how we could possibly ’capsize’."

"In any case, we can’t be careless," Master Rongku said coldly. "Master Qingqiu, do you understand?"

Master Qingqiu, Lin Sha, raised a wide sleeve to cover her delicate mouth and smiled. "Ever since I killed my Foundation Establishment Middle Stage master right after I reached Foundation Establishment myself, I’ve understood that accidents can happen at any time. That’s why I am never careless in battle."

Only then did Master Rongku nod in satisfaction. "Good."

"We’ve flown all this way and haven’t seen him. Could he still be in the cave residence?" Red Jade Master wondered aloud.

Just then, the Treasure beneath her feet suddenly stopped responding. The Magical Power in her body descended into chaos, and she plummeted headfirst from the sky, her world spinning.
