The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

A Bai Clan member from behind Bai Lu suddenly bellowed, “What do you think you people are doing?! Do you really want to go against our Bai Clan and Sword Pavilion?!!”

However, his words fell on deaf ears as the battle intent of the Blacksmith disciples was already ignited. To calm them down now was impossible.

Dong Fu’s right leg stomped on the ground causing it to tremble as he dash towards Bai Lu and sent out his sledgehammer-like fist towards his face.

Bai Lu was similarly burly as Dong Fu, from being a member of the Bai Clan, so he confidently sent out a fist of his own back by his physique.

A huge shock wave was produced from their fist colliding. The result was Bai Lu being knocked back a step. In his shock, he stared at Dong Fu with a solemn expression.

Dong Fu was only a 7th stage Foundation Realm expert but his strength was able to match him who was in the 8th stage. Only a few disciples in the Academy were known to have the ability to show such strength, and sadly, aside from Fei Yin, none of them were on the Inner Disciple Rankings.

These people were the hidden talents of the Academy, that chose to keep their accomplishments out of the spotlight and stay within the dark corners of the Academy going unnoticed by all the disciples.

Bai Lu had been skeptical about this fact and chose to believe the most powerful Inner Disciples were those on the Inner Rankings, but looking at Dong Fu who no one was talking about showing such strength, he started to believe those rumors were true.

Who those hidden disciples were, who deemed the Inner Disciple rankings meaningless, he didn’t know.

Seeing Bai Lu being knocked back by Dong Fu, the Bai Clan members became pale in the face. They had been relying on Bai Lu to get them out of this mess but seeing that he got his hands full, their backs began to soak with sweat when they felt the hundred or so Blacksmith disciples staring at them.

Suddenly they began to rush towards them.

Chaos had now broken out in front of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, with Bai Lu and Dong Fu exchanging blows a distance away. They were the only Foundation Realm cultivators in the area, the rest were just Sea expansion Realm cultivators so their battle wasn’t as flashy as Bai Lu and Dong Fu’s.

No swords were drawn obviously, just fists and legs were flying about causing the scene to look extremely chaotic. It looked as if was a one-sided all-out brawl between two street gangs. One could say this was extremely unbefitting of Celestial Academy disciples to act, but don't tell those Blacksmith disciples that.

The way how the hundred or so of them were coordinating to take turns in waves to pummel the twenty or so Bai Clan members, would leave someone with shivers. It was an absolutely brutal beating, with the Bai Clan members' heads resembling a pig's.

At the edge of the crowd, the youth that was sent flying by Bai Lu was seen limping away but at the corner of his lips, a small smirk could be seen and his eyes had a glint of excitement in them as he watched the chaotic fighting going on.

Hearing the wretched screams of the twenty Bai Clan members, he almost burst out laughing. However, he kept up his facade as he slowly left the area without no one noticing.

However, as he made his way some distance away from the battle scene, the youth couldn’t help but turn to his left to see someone else sneaking away from the area.

The youth recognize him as the person who had incited the Blacksmith disciples to fight the Bai Clan members after his emotional speech.

Seeming to notice someone else as well, that youth turn to look at him.

They both of them stared blankly at each other for a moment, before their gazes simultaneously glanced towards the scene of fighting. As if they were on the same wavelength, they both turn back to look at each other before giving the other a thumbs up. It was as if they were congratulating each other on a job well done.

After that, the youth with the fake injury scurried off towards the forest.

The other youth stared as he went for a moment before he too turned in another direction and headed for the forest. After a brief moment, Xi Shen’s figure dressed in white robes could be seen appearing in another area some distance away.

As Xi Shen walked out of the forest, he couldn’t help but glance back in the direction the youth who was faking the injury went in.

‘Who was that person? I can’t believe we both were planning the same thing. But what kind of grudge did he have with Bai Lu or the Bai Clan. He doesn’t seem to be from the Blacksmith Division either.’

Xi Shen was planning to get the Blacksmith disciples to fight against Bai Lu and his group, but he had never imagined that before he could execute his well-thought-out plan, someone else had gone ahead before him.

So Xi Shen just went along with it and after inciting the conflict between the two groups he thought he should make the first move, and slap that disciple to get things going.

Even though it wasn’t what he had planned, the results were the same so he couldn’t complain.

Now that his status was no longer a deterrent for the Major Clans and the strength he could show was only a Soul Cultivator at the Foundation Realm, he had no other way to teach Bai Lu and his followers a lesson other than to use a third party's help.

But in the future, when his Faction becomes stronger, as well as his own Soul Cultivation, he’ll have the deterrence of strength so he won’t need to rely on outside help like this time.

Since he had revealed a bit of his Soul Cultivation by defeating Lin Bei, word would start to spread of him becoming a Soul Cultivator, as well as him creating a Faction. That was the first step on the path of his new dream of creating a powerful legion of Sword and Soul Cultivators!

Xi Shen was really wondering what would become of this if he continued along this road. He’ll obviously face resistance from the Seven Major Clan's Factions in the Sword Pavilion and even ones in other Divisions, but it should be nothing he couldn’t handle with a bit of scheming.

However, there was still the matter of Fei Yin’s family coffins in the Bai Clan. He might have stalled the situation in the Academy somewhat, but he was thinking of personally heading to the Bai Clan to retrieve Fei Yin’s them.

While he was there he was also planning to do a bit of snooping as to what was going on between the Bai and Lin Clan. He really wanted to get his hands on that pill furnace and study it. He had his speculations that it was something that had to do with the God Era, or else how come Chaos Qi was involved? But then again, in his past life, he had never heard of pill concoction before.

This profession as well as numerous others was something that had developed in the Spirit Era. If that’s the case the pill furnace wasn’t something from the God Era. But that makes the situation even weirder because how did Chaos Qi, something that Xi Shen had speculated to be extinct in this Era due to it splitting up to form the different Qis, come into contact with that pill furnace?

Xi Shen shook his head a little to clear his thoughts.

‘The only real way to find out is to get my hands on it. It might be tricky and a bit hard, but I’ll have to come up with something.’

As Xi Shen thought that to himself, he saw Yang Su and the rest heading in his direction.

“Young master Shen your here.”

Yang Su said, but his eyes held a faint hint of knowing.

Xi Shen nodded at Yang Su’s words and seeing the knowing look in his eyes, he wasn’t that surprised he had figured out it was him in the crowd.

Tai as well as Little Snow's illusions were very powerful. Everyone’s soul had a unique soul signature that they released, with this, no matter how great your outer appearance disguise was if you were near someone familiar with you who was extremely powerful they would be able to tell it was you.

But Tai and Little Snow's disguises weren’t to be looked down upon, they were so potent and strong that they could even disguise a person’s soul signature to match someone else’s. Because it was in the realm of law manipulation, or rather a sort of Dao Comprehension manipulation, their ability was extremely profound that it could fool anyone. Though like it was said previously, it was weak enough at the moment that Soul Transformation Realm cultivators Divine Wills' would be able to see through it, as their manipulation and understanding of laws had reached great heights.

However, his pets wouldn’t be called a God Beast if their power was so easy to see through. Even though Xi Shen’s pet cats weren’t suited for combat, their ability to create stable pocket spaces was completely unmatched. Even a Soul Transformation Realm expert who was on the path of comprehending spatial laws and the Dao of Space, wouldn’t be able to discover their pocket dimension.

But with all of that said, Xi Shen’s soul was still the same so he could understand how Yang Su discover him since a small piece of his soul had fused with him, giving him the ability to sense a weak connection with him.

However, he had no fricking clue why Ling Xia was staring at him so suspiciously. Xi Shen was screaming in his head that this girl couldn’t possibly have known it was him. But seeing her eyes looking at him probingly, he was completely stupefied by her unnatural sixth sense.
