Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 298: That's very dangerous.
After the carriage left Boshui City, Chen Yan and Si Youyou traveled northwest.
That was the direction of Yongluan City.
In the Northern Region of the Chenping Continent, there were a total of three major immortal family ferry ports.
They were the Beiguang River Ferry, the Yongluan City Ferry, and the Luning Mountain Ferry.
The Beiguang River Ferry mainly handled ferries to and from the Southern Region; the Luning Mountain Ferry mainly handled ferries to and from the Eastern Region.
As for the Yongluan City Ferry, it was the largest and most prosperous ferry port in the Northern Region.
After obtaining the corresponding intelligence from Boshui City, Chen Yan quickly made a decision.
That was to head to the Southern Region of the Chenping Continent.
The reason was simple: because only the Southern Region had no Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators.
In the history of the Star Heaven Sect, there had been a total of two Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators: Realman Star-Paying Respects and Realman Sun and Moon.
According to the intelligence he obtained from the old man at Yulai Pavilion, a total of four Immortal Ascension reincarnations had been confirmed to have appeared so far.
In order of their appearance, they were: True Person Caiyun of the Kongshan Sect, True Person Xuzhou of Lingxiao Temple, Realman Sun-Eroding of the Mirage Palace, and Realman Shuangyu of Wind Ravine Valley.
The news of these four Immortal Ascension Realm great powers returning to the mortal world had all been deliberately released by their respective sects.
Where was the logic in hiding such a powerful figure sitting within your own sect?
It was rumored that these Immortal Ascension Realm true persons had gathered at Heavenly Summit Mountain half a month ago, and the reason they all rushed to Heavenly Summit Mountain was likely because a certain Steward of Heavenly Summit Mountain had also returned to this era.
The fact that Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators could reincarnate was no longer a secret ever since True Person Caiyun, Kong Yang, appeared at the Fallen Sword Mountain Range nearly four months ago.
It was just that Chen Yan hadn’t expected Kong Yang’s reincarnated body to actually be Lu Li.
When he remembered how Lu Li had bowed and scraped before him back when he was still the chief disciple of Kongyuan Mountain on Yuanhua Mountain, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.
However, compared to himself, the ones who should probably be more restless were likely those two old things on Qingchan Peak who had once tried to use Lu Li as their pawn.
Counting the Steward of Heavenly Summit Mountain who had returned to Heavenly Summit Mountain, that made five Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators.
Mr. You had said that in this current era, there were a total of seven reincarnated bodies of Immortal Ascension Realm true persons.
If the information provided by Mr. You was accurate, then besides the five Immortal Ascension Realm true persons mentioned above, plus Mr. You and Si Youyou beside him, the slots for reincarnated bodies would be all filled.
This also meant that the Star Heaven Sect had no Immortal Ascension Realm great power reincarnation.
The fundamental reason Chen Yan had embarked on this path of escape was to avoid those Immortal Ascension Realm true persons.
He now carried a karmic backlash spanning over sixty thousand years. No one knew what that truly represented; even a True Immortal whose cultivation was above the Immortal Ascension Realm would have their soul scattered on the spot if they tried to touch karma of this level.
To some conservative cultivators, Chen Yan was now like a ticking time bomb.
And to those more radical cultivators, Chen Yan’s existence represented an opportunity.
It was precisely because of all the above reasons that Chen Yan ultimately made the decision to flee to the Southern Region of the Chenping Continent.
However, the distance between Chen Yan’s current location and the Southern Region of the Chenping Continent controlled by the Star Heaven Sect was tens of millions of miles. Relying solely on the carriage he and Si Youyou were currently riding in, reaching the Southern Region would probably take at least several hundred years.
Therefore, Chen Yan decided to go to the Yongluan City Ferry first.
He planned to purchase a small cargo ferry at the Yongluan City Ferry, and then travel from the Yongluan City Ferry to the Southern Region.
The price of a small cargo ferry was at least one thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones or more.
Fortunately, as the sect master of the North Pass Sect, Chen Yan had accumulated some savings over the past eight years.
…
Everything went more smoothly than imagined.
Holding the ship deed he had just obtained from Yongluan City, Chen Yan thought to himself.
This small cargo ferry cost Chen Yan a total of two thousand one hundred high-grade spirit stones.
If he had been willing to haggle, he could probably have bargained the price of this small cargo ferry down to around one thousand six hundred high-grade spirit stones, but obviously he didn’t have the patience for that.
According to Mr. You, the principle by which this carriage could help him evade the deductions of those Immortal Ascension Realm great powers was because it could obscure the workings of fate.
When those Immortal Ascension Realm great powers deduced his location, the position calculated through peering into cause and effect and the heavenly secrets would randomly change.
One shichen.
This was the maximum amount of time he could leave the carriage each day while ensuring he wouldn’t be discovered by those Immortal Ascension true persons.
Walking on the streets of the Yongluan City Ferry, both Chen Yan and Si Youyou wore quite simple daoist robes, looking like ordinary rogue cultivators with cultivation at the Qi Circulation Realm or below that could be seen anywhere.
How powerful was the divine sense of a Spirit Connection Realm cultivator? Chen Yan quickly noticed, among the crowd, certain gazes locked onto him and Youyou beside him.
Those gazes were not friendly.
It seemed things weren’t as smooth as he had imagined.
When he had just purchased the ferry for two thousand one hundred high-grade spirit stones, Chen Yan had already noticed the flash of greed in the seller’s eyes.
It seemed he had been taken for some easy-to-bully sucker.
This world was never short of fools.
Even thinking with one’s toes would reveal that someone who could take out so many high-grade spirit stones in one go was definitely not a simple character.
But clearly, this seller didn’t seem to understand this principle.
To reduce the possibility of unnecessary complications, Chen Yan had even deliberately released a bit of his vast true qi pressure, wanting to inform the seller that he had seen through his intentions and that he himself was not easy to mess with.
Clearly, the other party didn’t seem to have heeded his warning.
Then there was no other way.
Chen Yan certainly wouldn’t waste too much time at this Yongluan City Ferry, because he only had one shichen.
He took Youyou aboard the small cargo ferry, retrieved the carriage from his storage treasure, and began to sail away from the Yongluan City ferry port.
No steering was needed. Chen Yan only needed to ensure the ferry was heading towards the Southern Region of the Chenping Continent.
After roughly the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn.
The ferry suddenly trembled violently several times. Chen Yan slightly raised his eyes, looking towards the direction of the ferry’s deck.
Over ten cultivators were standing on the deck of this small ferry.
They had chased him out from Yongluan City.
The leaders among them were two Qi Sea Realm cultivators; the rest were mostly Martial Spring Realm, with a few individual Qi Circulation Realm ones.
The seller who had traded with Chen Yan at the ferry port was also standing among them.
“Treasure invites calamity, Fellow Daoist! My apologies!”
The seller laughed, cupping his fist towards Chen Yan’s direction, his tone full of mockery.
“Why bother?”
Chen Yan slowly spoke towards the seller’s direction.
“Haha!”
The seller laughed heartily:
“The so-called wealth is found in danger, I…”
His words had only just left his mouth halfway when a strand of true qi pierced through his throat. Blood immediately began to spill from his mouth as he struggled and collapsed onto the deck. After a few breaths, he lost all signs of life.
“That was indeed quite dangerous.”
Chen Yan said expressionlessly:
“Well then, I invite you all to die.”
