"Reincarnation Immortal King?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred; he remembered that he had once received a reward from this Immortal King.
However, seeing this stunningly beautiful woman, Han Xuanji was still somewhat surprised.
"Was the Reincarnation Immortal King originally a woman?"... But in his memory, it was indeed difficult to distinguish gender, or rather, gender held little meaning for beings of that rank.
"It's somewhat of a Karma."
Han Xuanji noticed that Ouyang Lan, before him, was merely one of the Reincarnation Immortal King's Reincarnation bodies, indicating that this ancient Immortal King likely had many Reincarnation bodies existing in the world.
Perhaps one day, with the Awakening of her Immortal King memories, she could return.
"Will these Reincarnation bodies merge into one being at that time?"
Han Xuanji had some conjectures in his heart, but he didn't dwell on it, instead continuing to comprehend the Great Dao.
On the other side.
Perhaps it was the Nether Crow's reminder that made Ouyang Lan notice Han Xuanji's presence.
However, she quickly felt a bit disappointed.
Because the Qi Han Xuanji displayed was only of Golden Immortal cultivation, not much stronger than her own estimation.
There was no need to implicate this Fellow Daoist.
The Nether Crow, seeing this scene, also felt a surge of emotion:
"Such a sight is rare."
It had witnessed countless things in the Nether Sea, mostly schemes and intrigues.
It wouldn't feel contempt, nor would it experience a twisted sense of excitement; it merely observed everything calmly.
"This crow has no choice..."
Although it said so, the Nether Crow still couldn't bear to witness a cruel scene, so it simply began to curse at the Reincarnation Fiend:
"Caw! You filthy abominations of the Nether Sea! You're ugly but you dream big! Chasing after a little girl, aren't you disgracing the Fiends?!"
The Nether Crow flapped its wings, circling in the relatively safe high sky, cursing with its hoarse voice,
"If you have the guts, come chase your Crow Grandfather! See if I don't peck apart your bits of remnant souls and resentments as snacks!"
While cursing, it carefully controlled its distance, trying to attract the Fiend's attention.
This action, rather than being brave, was more like an accidental "goodwill" born after countless eons and witnessing countless deaths.
Ouyang Lan heard the curses and looked up in astonishment, seeing the Nether Crow trying to "provoke" them; a complex, inexpressible emotion welled up in her heart.
In this desperate situation, she hadn't expected a cursed Nether Crow to help her.
Meanwhile, Han Xuanji, who had been sitting quietly, took in the entire scene.
The Nether Crow's seemingly comical actions made Han Xuanji feel a little amused.
Of course, this wasn't mockery.
"Indeed... rare."
Han Xuanji murmured in his heart.
Although the Nether Crow was immortal, the pain of death was unavoidable.
While this scene touched him somewhat, it also gave Han Xuanji a sense of déjà vu regarding fate.
"Is this the Karma of destiny in the unseen, or the influence of Luck?"
Han Xuanji sighed inexplicably.
At this moment, one of the Reincarnation Fiends was slightly distracted by the Nether Crow's clamor and was about to deal with this noisy little thing.
The Nether Crow also felt helpless, already anticipating that in the next moment, it might be crushed into fragments by the Fiend's Aura, once again enduring the pain of death.
"Crow Grandfather did its best; the rest is up to your own fortune."
Just as it stopped struggling and prepared to bravely face death.
Han Xuanji moved; without changing his cross-legged posture, he slowly lifted his eyelids.
There was no earth-shattering burst of Aura.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, an invisible and formless power manifested, like an ancient slumbering god Awakening, descending with a roar.
The several Taiyi Golden Immortal Rank Reincarnation Fiends, whose ferocious pouncing movements instantly froze.
Their almost indestructible bodies, constructed from endless resentment and Nether Sea Death Qi, directly dissipated.
It was as if their very existence had been directly "negated" by a higher-rank power.
It was merely a glance, taking no more than a single breath.
The winds dispersed, and the world fell silent.
These terrifying Fiends, which had originally come with such ferocity, had vanished without a trace, leaving not even a hint, as if they had never appeared.
The Nether Crow's curses abruptly stopped; it froze in mid-air, its sickly green eyes almost bulging out, staring blankly at the Human Race Cultivator below, who was still sitting cross-legged and had merely blinked.
"Ah?"
Ouyang Lan reacted quickly, soon realizing that she had encountered a legendary mighty being.
To be able to so easily eradicate Taiyi Golden Immortal Rank Reincarnation Fiends, could the other party be a Great Principle Rank powerhouse?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Lan hurriedly said:
"I am Ouyang Lan; many thanks, Senior, for saving my life."
The Nether Crow also muttered:
"I didn't expect Crow Grandfather to be so mistaken, failing to recognize a Great Principle Rank Master."
"Cultivating the Reincarnation Dao to the Great Principle Rank is indeed extraordinary..." Han Xuanji thought to himself.
If it had been before, although he could also easily deal with these Reincarnation Fiends, it wouldn't have been this simple.
These eerie beings could be said to be the original inhabitants of the Nether Sea.
To completely eradicate them, one still had to rely on the Reincarnation Dao.
What seemed simple just now was actually Han Xuanji using his Great Principle Rank Reincarnation True Intent to instantly interfere with and briefly control the operation of the Reincarnation Law in that area, causing these Fiends, who were born from Reincarnation filth, to lose their source of power.
Han Xuanji's gaze swept over the still-shocked Nether Crow and the excited Ouyang Lan, and he nodded slightly as a response.
Seeing Han Xuanji's reaction, Ouyang Lan's reverence grew even stronger, yet she mustered her courage and bowed deeply again, her voice trembling with uncalmed emotion and immense sincerity: "Senior, your great kindness in saving my life, Ouyang Lan will never forget!
This Junior knows her cultivation is low and has nothing of value to offer, making it difficult to repay even a fraction of Senior's kindness.
But please, Senior, tell me your esteemed name; if I achieve anything in the future, I will surely repay you!"
Her words were sincere, her eyes clear, carrying the unique persistence of a young Cultivator.
But Han Xuanji still ignored her, slowly opening his mouth:
"A trivial matter, no need to dwell on it. The rise and fall of Karma are all predetermined. You may go on your way."
He had no intention of becoming too entangled with this Reincarnation body of the Reincarnation Immortal King; the Karma connections involved could be extremely complex. His assistance was already out of a trace of friendship, and he never even considered repayment.
Ouyang Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment upon hearing this.
To befriend a powerhouse suspected to be of the Great Principle Rank held significant meaning for an individual and even a Family.
However, such an esteemed Senior undoubtedly had their own profound reasons for acting, how could she casually speculate or cling to them?
Nevertheless, her yearning for powerful strength and her reverence for this mysterious Senior before her sparked a bold idea.
She bit her lower lip, then suddenly bent her knees, intending to prostrate herself on the spot:
"Senior! This Junior, Ouyang Lan, earnestly requests Senior to accept me as your disciple!
This Junior is willing to follow Senior, diligently cultivate, and serve my Master!"
Upon hearing this, even the Nether Crow, who had just recovered, was startled, flapping its wings and muttering:
"Caw! This little girl certainly has guts... taking advantage and still acting coy."
Han Xuanji's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
The instant Ouyang Lan's knees were about to touch the ground, a gentle yet irresistible force already supported her, preventing her from truly bowing down.
"Our Master-disciple Karma has not yet arrived."
Han Xuanji's voice remained calm, but carried a hint of coldness,
"Forcing it is useless and will only bring burden. Your path must be walked by yourself."
