Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Can’t you even make it onto the stage?

Quan Xiaotong and Ling Wuce’s faces were extremely ugly.

It’s not that they thought Chasing Soul was exaggerating. Quite the contrary, they actually agreed with what Chasing Soul said.

Whether it was Yama Hall or the Celestial Dao Sect, either could roam unchecked across the Central Continent.

And these were just the pawns mentioned by Chasing Soul, giving a glimpse of how terrifying these two sects really were!

”What do you think, should I apologize to Xin Zui and the others?”

Han Yu scratched his head and spoke to Chasing Soul.

He really couldn’t handle it anymore!

He had been to the small world of the Celestial Dao Sect, and the mysterious expert inside had taught him a lesson with just a slap. Who knew how many more such experts existed?

The thought of Yama Hall sending someone like that after him made Han Yu’s guts twist with fear.

Chasing Soul’s eyes widened, showing a look of shock for the first time, frozen in place, unable to utter a word.

Are you a devil?

I crossed seas to seek refuge with you, and you tell me to apologize to them?

”Heh, they won’t let you go. You have too many things they want.”

Chasing Soul immediately spoke to quash Han Yu’s idea.

No reason, Han Yu had too many strange aspects and similarities with Yama Hall or what Yama Hall pursued.

Han Yu’s pills could grant others strange abilities and his physical body had created a unique path of cultivation that could accommodate multiple divine techniques.

Not to mention the terrifying ability to strip others of their powers.

”Yama Hall follows a route of pseudo-divine techniques, while the Celestial Dao Sect follows the orthodox cultivation path. But both seek the ultimate in cultivation.”

Chasing Soul looked at Han Yu intently, ”And the path you’re taking, combining physical body and divine techniques, is just the third path, which Yama Hall can’t take.”

Yama Hall breeds divine technique monsters and Corpse Kings, both attempts to take this path in vain.

All along, Corpse Kings with divine techniques have only been seen outside, never a Yama Hall cultivator with a strong physical body also possessing divine techniques.

Isn’t it because Yama Hall can’t tread the path of physical cultivation with a living body? The path of physical cultivation is basically a dead end.

Even using a Corpse King’s body is limited in progress, able only to rampage within the Divine Gaze Realm, unable to go further up, let alone reach the Divine Platform Realm, where just a slap could probably shatter a Corpse King.

Divine techniques? Forget it.

”Yama Hall has attempted to cultivate innate divine techniques but never succeeded, yet you can accommodate several.”

Forced to settle for less, Yama Hall developed ghost series divine techniques, though these had limited potential.

Thus, they conceded again and integrated divine techniques into cultivation techniques, to preserve the abilities and elevate both through entering the Dao.

Listening to Chasing Soul’s discourse on settling for less, the three felt a new sense of awe towards Yama Hall.

Genius, damn it! Chasing Soul made it sound easy, but each aspect was unimaginable, never mind creating a series of divine techniques or integrating them into cultivation techniques and using realm advancement to boost their limits.

It’s beyond imagination.

Can a person think of this?

Han Yu couldn’t help but grumble silently.

”I’m telling you this so you know, Yama Hall will never let you go.”

”Xin Zui and the others are just pawns outside. Once the news returns, all the big figures inside will focus on you.”

No need to say what will happen then.

Chasing Soul looked at Han Yu as he spoke.

Han Yu’s face turned dark, so there was no getting past the Yama Hall hurdle?

”It’s only a matter of time. From what he’s saying, you’ll be targeted sooner or later.”

The Artifact Spirit had no intention of comforting, because it was worried too!

If Han Yu was in trouble, it wouldn’t fare any better.

If Han Yu were captured alive, its fate might be even worse!

Chasing Soul looked at Han Yu, silently.

The biggest thing they had in common was that neither of them had a way out.

Yama Hall would never let him go, nor would they spare Han Yu.

This kind of cooperation was the most suitable.

The Celestial Dao Sect? No way!

Even if he was no longer a split soul, he hailed from Yama Hall, and they would never sincerely cooperate. They might even exploit him till his value ran out and use him as cannon fodder.

Quan Xiaotong quietly walked over to Han Yu, whispering, ”Your trouble is significant, and the Central Continent’s troubles are no small either.”

Han Yu curled his lips, how could it not be significant! Haven’t you heard it’s been shrouded by an unknown array?

”How about you let him cooperate with me, and I’ll give you sixty years of fine brew.”

Quan Xiaotong spoke in the voice of a mosquito.

Damn rich dog, starts at sixty years of Qi Fortune.

Han Yu’s eyes lit up instantly. Now that the Artifact Spirit had transformed, wouldn’t so much Qi Fortune mean he could continue advancing?

”Agree with him; we have no way back.”

The Artifact Spirit quickly spoke in the Sea of Consciousness.

Han Yu nodded imperceptibly, then looked at Chasing Soul and suddenly smiled brightly...

...

Liu Zongyuan stood dumbfounded for a two-hour stretch, then saw the four of them walk out together. Each had quite a happy expression, except for Chasing Soul whose face was twisted...

”Give me some time; I can’t scrape together that much all at once.”

Quan Xiaotong fell a few steps behind, whispering shoulder to shoulder with Han Yu.

”Didn’t you say it would supply me for half a year?”

Han Yu remembered what Quan Xiaotong had said; how did it go again? Oh, he said his Qi Fortune cultivators could supply cooperation with him for half a year.

Quan Xiaotong looked embarrassed, his old face flushed, muttering under his breath, ”I won’t deny it, I did exaggerate back then.”

He didn’t expect Han Yu to be so aggressive, catching so many Yama Hall cultivators in such a short time.

”If you can keep being this fierce, I’m willing to sell pots and pans and do nothing but find these people for you every day.”

Quan Xiaotong said with quite some admiration.

”Then prepare to sell your pots and pans!”

Han Yu felt a wave of joy. If there were truly endless Qi Fortune cultivators to consume Pills, he could simply lie around every day, refining Pills and growing stronger.

”What are you really after by cooperating with Chasing Soul?”

In conversation, Han Yu asked his own question.

”I want to artificially create Divine Platform Realm cultivators. What do you think I’m after?”

Quan Xiaotong spoke without reservation. Chasing Soul was, after all, a Divine Platform Realm expert, and those Nine Sects didn’t have the ability to sit steady at the Divine Platform, right? Here was someone ready to consult.

And Chasing Soul seemed to really have a method.

So it was a perfect match!

As for the additional condition from Chasing Soul, it wasn’t much—just that, within the Central Continent, Han Yu must never turn a blind eye if capable.

”Even when he changes bodies, he’s still afraid of dying the same way.”

Han Yu sneered.

Yet Quan Xiaotong appeared worried. To him, Chasing Soul’s state was not shameful but rather gave him more apprehension about Yama Hall.

After all, if a Divine Platform Realm cultivator feared that much, how powerful could the forces behind them be?

”I’m not leaving for the next few days; I’ll first organize a dispatch of those old ghosts from the Nine Sects to see if they’re willing.”

Quan Xiaotong sighed as he finished speaking, then hurried away, along with Ling Wuce.

Han Yu thought a bit, then left too. He still had a pressing matter to attend to.

Until only Chasing Soul and Liu Zongyuan were left, the scene fell silent.

”Why did you think to cooperate with him?”

Liu Zongyuan was quite curious. Comparing Han Yu with the massive influence of the Celestial Dao Sect, why?

I don’t want to be cleaned out by you all.

Chasing Soul thought silently, but spoke with a hint of a wry smile.

”The reason is simple, if you can’t beat them, join them!”
