Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

"Is this the Innate Realm?"

Feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body, Wu Yan couldn't help but reveal a comfortable and blissful expression, "Truly wonderful!"

Although Wu Yan's voice was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of the two groups of onlookers.

Everyone was utterly shocked that Wu Yan had suddenly broken through to the Innate Realm, a level that hadn't been reached in hundreds of years.

After the initial shock, the Grandmaster on Wu Yan's side, who had been severely injured by Li Chengyin, was overjoyed.

With Wu Yan's successful breakthrough to the Innate Realm, there is no chance for the opposing side to turn the tide in today's battle. And if these Grandmasters present were to die, the entire Great Qian Dynasty, both the imperial court and the martial arts world, would suffer a severe blow!

That will be the time for them to dismantle the Great Qian Dynasty and divide up the land of Qingzhou!

"This is it, we're completely finished."

Standing next to Li Shilin, Li You wore a bitter smile and sighed helplessly.

Wu Yan's side was happy, but their side was about to be wiped out.

The others clearly knew what was about to happen, and they all fell silent, the atmosphere becoming extremely heavy.

"Innate... It seems that the only one who can contend with Wu Yan at this moment is Mr. Jiang."

Xuan Xi shook his head and muttered to himself. Little did he know that Weng Ji, who was standing next to him, would overhear him.

"Who is Mr. Jiang? Why did Daoist Xuanxi say that this person could contend with Wu Yan, who had broken through to the Innate Realm?"

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Xuanxi and Weng Ji.

Xuanxi cursed Weng Ji for being too talkative, and then immediately explained to everyone, "Mr. Jiang is just a senior expert who I met by chance a few years ago when I was traveling in the world, and he is suspected to be in the Innate Realm."

"A senior expert who is suspected to be at the Innate Realm..."

Li Shilin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked Xuanxi, "Does Daoist Xuanxi know where this Mr. Jiang is right now?"

Xuanxi guessed what Li Shilin was thinking and shook her head, saying, "Mr. Jiang is a low-key person who leaves no trace. Finding him in the vast world is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"So what if this Mr. Jiang really is at the Innate Realm?" Li You said with a resigned expression, "Distant water can't quench immediate thirst. Unless he's in the Suspended Sword Pavilion right now, even if we find him, it will be too late, and we'll still die at Wu Yan's hands."

Li You's words were exactly what everyone was thinking.

Unless a miracle occurs, they cannot escape this calamity today.

Aside from Xuanxi and Jingwei, who already knew that Jiang Yuchuan was currently in the Suspended Sword Pavilion, Weng Ji and Fu Yunxue seemed to suddenly remember something and found the title "Mr. Jiang" increasingly familiar.

Weng Ji suddenly remembered the purpose of his participation in this sword-testing tournament.

He remembered that the person he wanted to find and befriend also seemed to have the surname Jiang, and Lu Xuan also called him Mr. Jiang.

"It can't be the same person, right..."

Despite telling himself this, Weng Ji's heart couldn't help but start racing.

As Jiang Jihai's master, Fu Yunxue naturally knew that at the Lu residence, a Mr. Jiang had temporarily suppressed the effects of Jiang Jihai's innate meridian opening.

However, since Jiang Jihai did not reveal in their correspondence whether Jiang Yuchuan knew martial arts, but only praised his medical skills extensively, Fu Yunxue did not connect the two people with the same surname as Weng Ji.

While the group was lost in their own thoughts and wild ideas, Wu Yan finally snapped out of his reverie.

After his strength increased significantly, Wu Yan looked at Li Chengyin, who was standing opposite him in full battle array, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"So that's how it is. This is the price you paid for gaining your full strength, Li Chengyin. It's one thing to be ruthless to yourself, but I didn't expect you to be just as ruthless to your own people. How is your behavior any different from that of us demonic cultivators?"

Wu Yan's words stirred up another storm in Li Chengyin's heart.

This Innate Realm expert is truly terrifying; with just one glance, he saw through my trickery!

"What is the sacrifice of a few clansmen in order to eradicate you evil heretics!" Li Chengyin said solemnly. "Protecting the Great Qian is the inherent mission of every member of the Li clan, and to give their lives for the Great Qian is their honor!"

"What a mission and glory!" Wu Yan sneered. "Today I've finally seen the true faces of you so-called righteous people. Using your own people to refine secret medicines, yet you can speak of it so grandly and righteously. It truly broadens my horizons."

Li Chengyin was too lazy to waste words with Wu Yan, and without hesitation released all the internal energy in his dantian and poured it into every meridian.

He was already a dying man, and facing Wu Yan, who had now broken through to the Innate Realm, he had no chance of winning, but he still intended to fight to the death.

He couldn't let his younger relatives sacrifice themselves in vain.

He wanted to carry on the last glory of these younger generations and use his own life to do his last bit of strength for the Great Qian Dynasty!

When Wu Yan saw cracks appearing all over Li Chengyin's body and strong golden light bursting out from those cracks, he smiled disdainfully.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, you're overestimating yourself! Today I'll show you what the Innate Realm is all about."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yan floated into the air, surrounded by black mist. Just as he reached out his hand to grab Li Chengyin, his hand, which was halfway up the ground, suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face changed from smugness to astonishment and pain.

"—Hua Chengtian! How dare you scheme against me!"

Only now did Wu Yan belatedly realize why Hua Chengtian hadn't shown any resistance or surprise when he captured him, and had even been remarkably compliant. It turned out the boy already knew his secret of keeping him alive, and had secretly poisoned him without his knowledge!

The purpose was to wait until he absorbed it and successfully broke through, then when he used his power, he would trigger the hidden poison to erupt, greatly reducing his strength and revealing his weakness!

"Your scheme is well-thought-out, but you underestimated the power of the Innate Realm!"

Seeing Li Chengyin, who had transformed into a giant golden dragon and was charging towards him, Wu Yan revealed a playful smile, and then gave up resisting. He opened his arms, closed his eyes, and looked like he was about to be captured and give up.

Although Li Chengyin didn't know what Wu Yan was really up to, he was already on the verge of action and couldn't care less about anything else. He simply pierced through Wu Yan's body.

Wu Yan, who had taken the full force of Li Chengyin's attack, was still standing unharmed in mid-air, without even the slightest sign of injury. Even the pained and distorted expression he had shown earlier due to the poison had disappeared.

"how so!"

Looking weak, Li Chengyin clutched his chest and coughed violently while staring incredulously at Wu Yan in mid-air.

"So this is the Innate Realm...?"

It's so powerful it's almost despair-inducing.

After slowly opening his eyes, Wu Yan smiled and looked at Li Chengyin standing on the ground. "I really have to thank you. If it weren't for your timely attack, I wouldn't have been able to so easily neutralize the poison in my body. To show my gratitude, I've abandoned my previous plan and won't torture you anymore. I'll send you on your way without any further trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark light appeared in Wu Yan's eyes. Just as he raised his hand, preparing to make a move to deal with Li Chengyin, his expression suddenly changed.

His perception was incredibly sharp; just now, he clearly sensed an aura suddenly locking onto him.

But when he tried to find the owner of that aura, he discovered that the person had vanished without a trace.

The fact that someone could do this means that the person secretly observing you is definitely no less powerful than you!

—Besides myself, are there any other beings in the Innate Realm who exist in this world?!

Thinking of this, Wu Yan's expression changed again, and he immediately looked around—

In his line of sight, all the leaves around him suddenly shot up into the sky, like a green, towering wave, rushing wildly toward him.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Wu Yan roared and swung his sleeve, unleashing several streams of true energy.

"This is impossible!!"

Seeing that his true energy was instantly dispersed and devoured by these weak leaves, Wu Yan could no longer remain calm.

As long as the green hills remain, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!

Although Wu Yan was unwilling to believe it, the facts proved that the person who made the move in secret was clearly stronger than himself.

I finally broke through to the Innate Realm, I can't just give up here so easily!

Just as Wu Yan turned around to escape, he discovered that his escape route was completely blocked by the flying leaves.
