Practice begins with immortality

Wang Bai came to the pool and saw that he had reached the end, so he jumped directly into the pool.

"That is--"

Before he could finish his words, a huge creature appeared in the water and pounced towards Wang Bai.

Seeing this, Wang Bai immediately jumped out of the pool, and the giant creature immediately followed.

After coming up, Wang Bo took a closer look and saw that it was a giant python about 20 meters long. Seeing this, Wang Bo immediately rushed towards the python and fought with it.

"It turns out to be a beast comparable to one that has reached the perfection of cultivation, but unfortunately you ran into me."

It only took ten breaths for Wang Bai to kill the giant python.

"There must be a path leading to somewhere under this pond, otherwise it would be impossible for such a large python to be raised there." Wang Bai thought to himself.

He decided to explore this mysterious place. So, he took a deep breath and dived to the bottom of the pool. Sure enough, he soon found a hidden cave entrance.

Wang Bai entered the cave without hesitation. He closed his eyes tightly and groped his way forward with his hands. The water in the cave was turbulent, but he relied on his strong strength to keep moving forward.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Bai finally flew out of the water, breathing heavily with an excited expression on his face.

"It really leads to an underground river!" he muttered to himself.

Afterwards, Wang Bai began to search the surrounding area carefully.

After some effort, he indeed found three stone chambers hidden in the dark.

These stone chambers look a bit old, but there seems to be some lingering breath inside.

Wang Bai cautiously entered the first stone chamber. He carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find any useful clues. However, apart from some ancient stone carvings and a large amount of gold and silver, he didn't find much of value.

Next, he entered the second stone chamber, which was filled with weapons and armor.

Wang Bai counted and found that there were eighty sets of heavy armor alone, and nearly a thousand other weapons.

"I'm afraid they can directly form an army." Wang Bai said in amazement.

Finally, Wang Bai entered the third stone chamber. The third stone chamber was different from the previous two. It looked like a study. Wang Bai glanced through the books on the bookshelf and found that they were all martial arts techniques.

"Thirteen books of internal training techniques, and four books of strength training techniques. But these are probably not the most important things."

After that, Wang Bai searched for a while and finally found a small wooden box in a secret compartment in the bookshelf.

When he opened it, he found a brocade bag, a notebook and a scroll inside.

Wang Bai first opened the notebook and read its contents carefully.

"My name is Li Xuan, and I am the founder of Yama Palace."

"I was born into a military family. Both my parents were bodyguards."

"I've been interested in martial arts since I was young, especially swordsmanship."

"At the age of nine, I finished reading all the martial arts books in my family's collection. At the age of thirteen, I began to practice martial arts. At the age of fifteen, I perfected the family martial arts and became a perfect external martial artist."

"At sixteen, I became a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect's leader and a practitioner of inner cultivation that same year. Six years later, I achieved perfection in my inner cultivation and began preparing for a breakthrough in my strength training. However, my sect was attacked by an enemy, and my parents and teachers were tragically killed. I was lucky enough to escape the disaster because I was traveling. I swore a blood oath to seek revenge!"

"After my master's sect was destroyed, I fled for six years. With my sharp sword in hand, I fought alone across thousands of miles, winning every battle without a single defeat. I also realized something from this, a sword spirit that only exists in legends! With this sword spirit, I even escaped from the hands of a martial arts master who practiced martial arts!"

"At the age of twenty-eight, I broke through to the level of Lian Jin and created the Yama Palace, and began my revenge."

"At the age of thirty-three, after I achieved a breakthrough to the minor success of my training, I led my subordinates to attack my enemies. After a hard fight, I finally got my revenge."

"After that, I began to test my swordsmanship across the world. No warrior of my generation could match me."

At forty-two, I achieved a breakthrough to the Great Mastery of Strength Training. At fifty-four, I achieved a breakthrough to the Perfection of Strength Training. At seventy, I reached the legendary Xiantian realm. At this point, my swordsmanship was divine, and I was a legendary Xiantian warrior. I believed I had no rivals in the world.

"Unexpectedly, when I was eighty years old, I met a strange man. He wielded a strange little sword, had an arrogant look on his face, and called himself an immortal. I fought him, and found that he was... so weak! It only took me three rounds to defeat him and capture him alive. How dare someone so weak call himself an immortal?"

"After capturing that person alive, I learned from him that his name was Zhang Mo, and he was a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Knowing that there was no hope of breaking through and his lifespan was drawing to a close, he came to this place of absolute spirits to spend his remaining years."

"I forced him to ask how he became an immortal cultivator and went to the immortal cultivation world. He said that I had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate immortality."

"I refused to give in, so I continued to interrogate him. He said there was a way to enter the Dao through martial arts. As long as a martial artist reaches the Xiantian realm, they can use the Xiantian true qi as a foundation to guide the spiritual energy into the body for cultivation. But this guy took the opportunity to summon lightning with a piece of talisman paper, severely injuring me. In anger, I killed him."

"I hate it! I'm unwilling to accept it! But I can no longer enter the Dao. Now that things have come to this, I will disband the Yama Palace. In the final moments of my life, I will paint the charm of my life's martial arts into a divine painting to leave for future generations. If you, the future generation, obtain what I leave behind and successfully enter the Dao, please take a look at the world of immortal cultivation for me."
