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

As his life force was continuously drained away, Wu Yan's youthful appearance, gained from breaking through to the Innate Realm, began to age rapidly.

In no time at all, he went from a vibrant young man to a withered and emaciated old man.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Yue Qian and the others, who had already gathered around Li Chengyin, looked at the huge sphere made of leaves that was floating in mid-air.

During this time, no one spoke, but it was clear from the pairs of eyes that were staring intently that they were all in a state of extreme shock and unease.

Just then, they suddenly sensed a powerful energy emanating from the giant green sphere suspended in mid-air. Before they could retreat, the giant green sphere made of leaves suddenly exploded.

The exploded leaves fell from the sky like raindrops.

Along with the fallen leaves, Wu Yan, who had become extremely old and frail due to the exhaustion of his life force, also fell.

As for Jiang Yuchuan, he had already used an invisibility talisman to fly away when the leaves burst open.

Seeing Wu Yan, who had been so arrogant and seemingly invincible just moments before, now in such a miserable and wretched state, Yue Qian and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with utter shock.

It felt as if the world, which was once familiar, had suddenly become completely unfamiliar.

Although Lee Seung-yoon was also shocked by this, he did not lose his composure like the others.

With Wu Yan crippled, the crisis was over. The Great Qian Dynasty finally had one less powerful enemy and was able to catch its breath.

However, as long as he dies, the other two powers, Dayong and Dali, which are eyeing him covetously, will still make their moves.

He had a little bit of strength left in his body, just enough to do his last bit of effort for the Great Qian!

Li Chengyin looked up at the grandmasters in the distance who were standing on the same side as Wu Yan and were about to turn and run away. He then transformed into a golden dragon and rushed over.

As long as we keep all the grandmasters sent by Dayong and Dali here, even if we can't severely damage the two countries, it will be enough to keep them in line for a while.

After all, cultivating a grandmaster requires more than just money and resources; time is even more important.

The other worshippers present, including Li Shilin, were all juniors related to Li Chengyin by blood, so they were naturally aware of Li Chengyin's physical condition.

When they saw Li Chengyin selflessly use his last strength to transform into a golden dragon, wanting to perish together with the enemy, they were all filled with grief.

They knew that once Li Chengyin left, he wouldn't even leave behind a whole corpse.

The dignified head of the Great Qian Palace, once the number one expert in the world, ended up dying a gruesome death, which inevitably made them, as the younger generation, feel extremely sad.

After this matter was settled, Yue Qian and the others immediately took the now crippled Wu Yan back to the training ground.

When they arrived at the training ground, the righteous side had already reversed the disadvantage and began to launch a counterattack against the Tianyi Cult members.

The Tianyi Cult members, who were still putting up a complete resistance, were thrown into chaos when they saw Yue Qian and other powerful masters appear.

Especially after seeing the pitiful state of their leader Wu Yan, who was being held in Xuan Xi's hands, they were so frightened that they lost their last bit of courage to resist and turned around to scatter and flee.

Yue Qian snorted coldly and unleashed several sword strikes, killing all the Tianyi Sect members and traitors who attempted to escape on the spot.

While cleaning up the battlefield, Jingwei asked Lingzhan and the others about the situation there.

Only then did they realize that the main reason their side was able to turn the tide despite being poisoned by the Fragrant Vein-Corroding Powder was that Qi Changqing had developed an antidote that could temporarily suppress the poison.

Although only a very small amount of the antidote was available due to time constraints, it was enough to restore the strength of the powerful sect leaders and elders of the Suspended Sword Pavilion, enabling them to launch a fierce counterattack and reverse the tide of battle.

Jingwei and Xuanxi were both taken aback upon hearing this. After exchanging a glance, they began searching for Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing in the training ground with perfect understanding.

Lingzhan looked at the two people looking around, and after a moment of silence, he said directly, "Master, Grandmaster, you don't need to look anymore. Senior Brother Changqing has already left. As for Mr. Jiang, he doesn't seem to have appeared on the battlefield from the beginning."

"It never even appeared in the first place...?"

Jingwei seemed to have thought of it instantly and immediately looked at Xuanxi beside her.

"Uncle-Master, Mr. Jiang will—"

Xuanxi glared at Jingwei, interrupting her, then stroked his beard and said with an inscrutable expression, "It cannot be said, it cannot be said. You know it in your heart."

Jingwei immediately understood. At the same time, her heart, which had just calmed down, was once again stirred up.

No wonder my master looked so distressed when he gave me the pills that Mr. Jiang had refined; no wonder my injuries healed so quickly after taking those pills.

Once you connect all the dots, everything makes sense!

Although the righteous side achieved a final victory in the face of the turmoil launched by the Tianyi Sect, it also suffered heavy losses.

Whether it was the Suspended Sword Pavilion or the various sects participating in the Sword Trial Tournament, many disciples and even sect leaders died in the battle between the Yutian Sect members and traitors.

Therefore, those who survived felt no joy of victory whatsoever; all they felt was the relief and fear of surviving a catastrophe.

Regarding Wu Yan's defeat, after discussion among Yue Qian and other grandmasters present, it was ultimately decided to conceal the truth and attribute the credit for defeating Wu Yan and killing a group of enemy grandmasters to the deceased Li Chengyin.

Although they didn't know which hidden master had crippled Wu Yan, the fact that the master hadn't shown himself from beginning to end proved that he didn't want anyone to know his identity and wasn't someone who liked to show off. Therefore, by doing this, they wouldn't offend the master.

Most importantly, they did not want the fact that a legendary Innate Realm expert had appeared in the world to spread.

After this battle, the current state of the Great Qian Dynasty, whether in the imperial court or in the martial arts world, can no longer withstand any further turmoil.

If certain people with ulterior motives were to learn that there are still experts at the Innate Realm in this world, who knows what kind of turmoil it would cause.

Li Chengyin, the pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty, had died, and the current emperor would soon pass away as well.

In order to prepare for the crisis and turmoil that may occur in the coming period, the elders led by Li Shilin did not leave the Suspended Sword Pavilion immediately, but stayed to discuss cooperation with the leaders of the major sects, including Yue Qian.

As long as the major factions, led by the Suspended Sword Pavilion, White Cloud Temple, and Great Buddha Temple, are kept in check, the Great Qian Dynasty will not descend into chaos when the throne changes hands in the future.

Without the support of these powerful figures in the martial arts world, no matter how unwilling or how much they wanted to cause trouble, the princes could not make much of a splash in the hands of the Imperial Household Department.

In order to achieve effective cooperation with the three major sects, the Gongfengyuan directly abolished all treaties that restricted the power of the martial arts world.

Although doing so will only make these underworld forces grow stronger, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Now that Li Chengyin, the number one in the world, has left the Imperial Academy, no one can suppress the three major sects.

In particular, Xuanxi and Daoan became the number one and number two in the world after Li Chengyin and Wu Yan fell one after another.

Although neither of them had any ambition for power and status, it's better to be safe than sorry, so Gongfengin had to make plans in advance.
