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

Jiang Yuchuan spent nearly a day reading through all the books in the stone chamber except those related to array formations.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuchuan was unable to find out why the spiritual energy on this continent was depleted.

However, based on the information he had collected over the years and some clues he found in the ruins, Master Wuzang came to a more reliable guess about this.

According to Master Wuzang, the reason why the spiritual energy on this continent was declining was related to the turmoil in the upper realm.

According to ancient records, the spiritual energy began to show abnormalities ten thousand years ago.

It was precisely on a certain day ten thousand years ago that the portal to the upper realm suddenly closed. Immediately afterwards, the sky collapsed, the earth caved in, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and blood rained down.

This disaster, which covered the entire continent, lasted for a full day and night before it finally subsided.

It was from that time onward that the spiritual energy of this land became less active than before, and gradually began to decline.

And that closed portal never opened again.

The upper realm seemed to have vanished completely, leaving no trace and no news ever coming down.

Due to geographical and spiritual limitations, even in normal times ten thousand years ago, the highest level of cultivators this continent could accommodate was only the Golden Core stage.

All cultivators who wish to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, or those with exceptional talent, will travel through a teleportation portal to the upper realm, a region with a vaster expanse and more abundant spiritual energy, after condensing their Golden Core.

However, since the portal closed, these Golden Core cultivators have been trapped here, unable to leave or break through to the next level. They can only watch helplessly as their lifespan runs out and they perish with resentment.

These Golden Core cultivators did try to re-establish the teleportation portal, but this portal was naturally generated by the heavens and earth, and was only stabilized by the great powers of Nascent Soul cultivators. How could a mere Golden Core cultivator forcibly break it?

Therefore, this attempt was destined to be futile.

Since this path was blocked, some Golden Core peak cultivators who were nearing the end of their lifespan decided to go all out and, with a determined heart, began to break through on the spot.

This action is tantamount to violating the rules of heaven and earth.

When the divine lightning struck, not only were people left unharmed, but even the hardest golden core in the dantian was left without a trace.

Having learned from past mistakes, no Golden Core cultivator dared to try again.

Thus, this continent became a complete prison for cultivators, trapping them within it.

Master Wuzang happened to be the last Golden Core cultivator on this continent.

When Venerable Wuzang was born, the spiritual energy had already begun to decline, and all kinds of spiritual objects and rare treasures had long since ceased to grow. Yet, even so, Venerable Wuzang, as a rogue cultivator, was still able to successfully overcome the tribulation of lightning at the age of one hundred and five and condense a golden core.

With such perseverance and talent, if one can successfully ascend to the upper realm, breaking through the nascent soul and forming the nascent spirit will be only a matter of time.

Jiang Yuchuan believed that Master Wuzang was not exaggerating.

Because at this moment, the remains of Master Wuzang are sitting upright in the middle of the stone chamber.

While examining the skeleton, Jiang Yuchuan had roughly calculated when Master Wuzang broke through to the Golden Core stage. The result was not significantly different from the age he had described.

Whether Master Wuzang's conjecture about the depletion of spiritual energy is true or false, the fact remains that Nascent Soul cultivators are not allowed to appear on this continent.

Jiang Yuchuan had a premonition about this.

Having a premonition doesn't mean he has a solution.

Faced with the natural constraints imposed by heaven and earth, let alone waiting for him to break through to the Golden Core stage, even if he were to recover to the peak Nascent Soul stage of his previous life, he would still be unable to break through the blockade.

"It seems we can only take it one step at a time."

Fortunately, he cultivated the "Azure Origin Creation Technique," which granted him a lifespan far exceeding that of other Golden Core cultivators.

The great road is fifty, the sky is four and nine, and people are one of them.

Jiang Yuchuan firmly believes that there will always be a way to break the deadlock.

He could spend a thousand years searching every corner of this continent; he refused to believe he wouldn't find any useful clues.

After all, given his status as a Nascent Soul cultivator in his previous life, his knowledge and experience far surpassed those of the native cultivators on this continent.

Just because they cannot discover some subtle clues hidden in the world does not mean that he is unaware of them.

After calming himself down, Jiang Yuchuan began preparing for his secluded cultivation breakthrough.

His first task was to bury the remains of Master Wuzang.

As for the location, Jiang Yuchuan chose it directly behind the hill where the cave dwelling was located.

To repay the kindness of Master Wuzang in gifting the island, Jiang Yuchuan specially erected a tombstone for him.

Although Jiang Yuchuan has claimed Fangzhang Island for himself and no one else is likely to set foot there, Master Wuzang is still the first cultivator he has encountered since arriving in this world, so he should at least show him some respect.

After burying Master Wuzang, Jiang Yuchuan took out all the Qi-gathering talismans he had prepared in advance and pasted them all around Fangzhang Island.

Then, dozens of large buckets of spiritual spring water were moved out of the space and placed in the cave.

The Qi-gathering talisman will not produce any effect unless Jiang Yuchuan actively activates it, but the spiritual energy inside the spring water will slowly dissipate if it is left outside for a long time.

To ensure he wouldn't make any mistakes during his breakthrough, Jiang Yuchuan immediately sealed the spirit spring water with his spiritual power after taking it out.

Although Jiang Yuchuan's sealing technique cannot compare with that of Master Wuzang, it can still last for several years.

For Jiang Yuchuan, this period of time was already sufficient.

After making all the preparations, Jiang Yuchuan went straight into the stone chamber and focused intently on breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

To condense a high-grade golden core, Jiang Yuchuan must first repeatedly compress the spiritual energy within his body.

This process is like a slow and steady process; it cannot be rushed or hastily completed, but must be done step by step.

Fortunately, with the Spirit Pearl space, Jiang Yuchuan didn't need to worry about anything other than time when compressing spiritual power.

Cultivation knows no time, and the years pass without a cycle in the mountains.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past five years, Jiang Yuchuan has hardly stepped out of the stone chamber. Through five years of secluded cultivation, the spiritual power within his body has reached an extremely terrifying level after continuous compression.

The Azure Spirit blooming in Jiang Yuchuan's Qi Sea at this moment has already undergone a complete transformation. Both its size and color are far superior to what they were before.

"it's time!"

Seeing that the compression of spiritual energy had reached its limit and could not continue, Jiang Yuchuan suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew from the spiritual pearl space.

After returning to the stone chamber, Jiang Yuchuan first removed all the seals on the wooden buckets containing spiritual spring water in the cave, and then activated all the energy-gathering talismans affixed around Fangzhang Island.

Upon sensing a large amount of spiritual energy continuously flowing towards him, Jiang Yuchuan immediately activated the "Azure Origin Creation Technique".

At this moment, Qing Ling, which was suspended in Jiang Yuchuan's Qi Sea, suddenly burst out with a dazzling blue light.

This incredibly intense azure light not only illuminated Jiang Yuchuan's entire dantian, but also shone directly through his body, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

Bathed in the azure light, Jiang Yuchuan resembled a translucent, emerald-green jade statue, radiating light.
