Vol 6 Chapter 11: Another Transmigrator

Two months ago.

After Huang Qianyun and Huang Zhixin reported the Zhuge Family, they had been waiting at Penglai Immortal Island for the investigation results.

This matter involved at least two False Core cultivators, so the Dao Alliance's enforcement division could only choose to contact the Dao Alliance Leader, Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong, who had cultivated at Dragon Tiger Mountain since childhood, was the first person in the country to develop true essence after the spiritual energy recovery. He later cooperated with the government to establish the Dao Alliance and possessed formidable strength.

His absence from Penglai Immortal Island this time was because he had been summoned back to Dragon Tiger Mountain by his master.

Although Hu Yousong's master couldn't embark on the cultivation path due to advanced age, his seniority was extremely high, and his influence was immense. Among his disciples were many genuine immortal cultivation experts.

"Yousong, do you still remember your prematurely departed junior brother, Zhu Yan?"

"Of course I remember. We were both orphans adopted by you, Master... Unfortunately, junior brother had poor health since childhood and passed away at just fifteen... Ah."

"Even though I had already reached Foundation Establishment at that time and used my true essence to nourish him, I still couldn't change his fate..."

Hu Yousong regretted deeply, as he had been quite fond of this junior brother.

Zhang Zongsheng nodded and forced a slight smile, saying, "Then Yousong, tell me, who is this?"

The door opened, and a young man wearing dao robes with skin like congealed jade entered. Although this young man looked somewhat different from the person in his memory, Hu Yousong still exclaimed in shock upon seeing him: "Junior brother Zhu Yan? No, how is this possible?"

"Senior brother, you're not mistaken. It's me." The robed young man sighed emotionally. For Senior Brother Hu, it might have been ten years, but for him, it had been over three thousand years.

"Junior brother, is it really you?" Hu Yousong couldn't believe it.

"The genuine article." Zhu Yan smiled slightly: "After I died, I gained a immortal's favor, was revived and taken to a place more suitable for cultivation. Not long ago, the immortal sent me back."

"Immortal? An immortal?" Hu Yousong became incoherent. Do immortals truly exist?

"Then junior brother, your current cultivation level..." He observed this junior brother but found that he couldn't see through the other's cultivation realm at all.

"It should be considered late Void Mystical Stage." Zhu Yan said.

"Void Mystical Stage?" Hu Yousong was puzzled. "What realm is that?"

"Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul Transformation. Only after Nascent Soul Transformation comes Void Mystical Stage."

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, Hu Yousong was inwardly shocked. He was now considered among the first tier of cultivators on Earth, yet he had only temporarily transcended Foundation Establishment through False Core techniques, without having found the true Golden Core path.

This junior brother of his... beyond Nascent Soul Transformation? This was simply too incredible.

"I won't be staying long this time, but before I leave, I'll leave some cultivation resources for you, senior brother, and I'll also help Master embark on the cultivation path. After I leave, I'll entrust Master and the other senior brothers to your care." Zhu Yan said.

With a casual wave of his hand, several storage bags appeared before Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong looked and was utterly astonished, his eyes unable to take in everything at once, gradually believing his junior brother's words.

"Junior brother, all these resources... are they all for us?"

"Yes. By the way, senior brother, there probably aren't others who have returned from other cultivation worlds like me yet. If the Dao Alliance discovers similar cultivators, don't offend them, even if they cause trouble... When that happens, just notify me directly. I'll be at Dragon Tiger Mountain during this time, helping Master... establish his foundation."

After receiving his junior brother's reminder, Hu Yousong soon received Yi's report.

"The Zhuge Family? Hmph, I've long been dissatisfied with the Zhuge Family. Don't worry about the Zhuge Patriarch. Investigate boldly—investigate what needs investigating, interrogate what needs interrogating, judge what needs judging."

If it were before, Hu Yousong might have still been somewhat wary of the Zhuge Family. But now that his junior brother had returned as a Void Mystical Stage expert, he completely disregarded the insignificant Zhuge Family. Among the resources his junior brother gave him were pills to assist in forming golden cores, forming nascent souls, and even achieving Nascent Soul Transformation. Soon enough, he alone could suppress the entire Zhuge Family.

"What? That False Core female cultivator even took my plaque away?"

Hu Yousong was startled and quite angry, but when he heard Yi say that just one day earlier, the female cultivator had been only at Qi Refining fourth layer, and one day later possessed False Core combat power, he immediately calmed down.

Such methods...

There must be a powerful expert behind this Thousand Clouds Temple girl. He suddenly remembered his junior brother's warning—there should be others who, like him, had returned from other cultivation worlds.

Could it be...

Hu Yousong quickly instructed Yi to stabilize the situation while he went to find his junior brother.

"Helping a Qi Refining fourth layer cultivator temporarily obtain False Core power isn't easy, whether through pills or magical treasures. Such pills and treasures might even be comparable in value to Nascent Soul Pills. Unless it's a cultivator above Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, no one could casually take out such treasures to give to others." After hearing this, Zhu Yan's expression changed.

"Senior brother, could you go contact this person for me? Master is advanced in age and approaching his natural lifespan limit. Helping him achieve Hundred Days Foundation Establishment is quite dangerous, and I must personally guard him."

"These are my talisman clones, nine in total, meticulously refined by me. Each one has cultivation equivalent to Nascent Soul Transformation Stage. Take them for protection—you can go anywhere on Earth with these."

"No problem." Hu Yousong excitedly accepted the nine talismans. As expected of his junior brother—truly capable.

The next day, he returned to Penglai Immortal Island, met with the two from Thousand Clouds Temple, and personally led the team to thoroughly investigate the Zhuge Family. With the magical treasures given by the Void Mystical Stage expert, Hu Yousong easily captured the Zhuge Patriarch, who was also at False Core cultivation.

The entire Zhuge Family, from top to bottom, was thoroughly investigated. All family members who had committed illegal acts were detained. Huang Qianyun and Huang Zhixin had completely unexpected this outcome.

"If you two are satisfied with the Dao Alliance's handling, could you take me to meet that senior at Mount Huangshan? inadequate supervision is the Dao Alliance's responsibility, and I would like to personally express my gratitude." Hu Yousong initially estimated that the expert behind Thousand Clouds Temple probably wasn't evil—if they were evil, they wouldn't have asked Thousand Clouds Temple cultivators to report the wrongdoing Zhuge Family.

.....

"This junior, Dao Alliance Leader Hu Yousong, requests an audience with the senior."

After Hu Yousong's anxious waiting, Lin Jing finally withdrew the massive array and appeared in person before Hu Yousong.

After Hu Yousong's anxious waiting, Lin Jing finally withdrew the massive array and appeared in person before Hu Yousong.

"Dao Alliance Leader... are you here to reclaim that plaque?"

"Or are you simply here to report on the Zhuge Family matter?"

"Or perhaps."

Lin Jing said slowly, as if able to see through everything: "Did the Void Mystical Stage cultivator behind you send you to test me?"

Boom.

As Lin Jing finished speaking, Hu Yousong's pupils contracted sharply, and the talisman clone hidden on him also vibrated slightly.

Hu Yousong never expected that the existence behind the two Thousand Clouds Temple cultivators would be so terrifying, able to see through what he was hiding with just one glance.

And that was something refined by a Void Mystical Stage expert!
