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

After leaving the fishing village, Jiang Yuchuan took advantage of the night to begin his journey over the Daqian sky.

During his conversation with others by the campfire, Jiang Yuchuan learned that the emperor, who was critically ill before he set off for Fangzhang Island to go into seclusion, had passed away twenty-six years ago. The one who succeeded him was the old emperor's third son, Li Shu, the third prince who had previously tried to win him over through Shangguan Yulong's message.

In the discussions among the crowd, the new emperor Li Shu was described as an extraordinary figure who had surpassed his predecessors.

Upon ascending the throne, he immediately employed ruthless methods, uniting various martial arts forces to launch a thunderous counterattack against the two kingdoms of Dali and Dayue, which had been constantly harassing the borders of Daqian.

After defeating the two countries, with the full support of the Imperial Household Agency, Yi Shu immediately began to carry out sweeping reforms of the court, eliminating all corrupt officials and promulgating more than a dozen new policies that benefited ordinary people.

After more than 20 years of dedicated governance, the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty has far surpassed that of the other two countries; it is no exaggeration to say that it has undergone a complete transformation.

Jiang Yuchuan left early and ascended into the sky precisely because he wanted to see what the transformed Great Qian Dynasty would look like more than twenty years later.

Since breaking through to the Golden Core stage, Jiang Yuchuan's spiritual sense has recovered to a level comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. Although it is still some distance from his peak in his previous life, it is already sufficient for him to clearly see the various villages, towns, and cities of the Great Qian Dynasty from high above.

As Jiang Yuchuan continued to move, he soon had a complete view of the entire Daqian.

More than 20 years ago, when he traveled with Qi Changqing, although he did not visit all the areas of Daqian, he was still able to glean some information about the situation in Daqian at that time from the places they passed by.

The current Daqian Dynasty has indeed undergone significant changes compared to that time.

Most notably, the Great Qian Dynasty has become even more prosperous and bustling. Even late at night, many cities are still brightly lit, lively, and teeming with people.

This kind of grand spectacle would have only been possible in one of the five major cities like Sheng'an City more than twenty years ago.

Furthermore, some remote villages and towns that were originally sparsely populated and impoverished have been significantly expanded. Not only have the number of residents increased, but the houses have also been replaced from thatched huts with uniform brick and tile houses.

In just over twenty years, Li Shu was able to resolve both internal and external troubles and govern the country to such an extent. It must be said that he was indeed a very outstanding emperor.

After Jiang Yuchuan finished his stroll, the sky was beginning to lighten.

At that moment, he happened to be over Qingyang Town.

Compared to twenty years ago, apart from some old houses being renovated and expanded, there haven't been any major changes in Qingyang Town.

The streets and shops were still the same as they were before he left.

When Jiang Yuchuan's gaze fell on his small courtyard, he noticed that there was a new neighbor next to it.

This neighbor also built a small courtyard house, and in terms of size and layout, it was extremely similar to the small courtyard house I used to live in.

Through a scan with his divine sense, Jiang Yuchuan learned that his neighbor was none other than Qi Changqing, who had grown up.

Looking at Qi Changqing, who had grown into a grown man and was fast asleep, Jiang Yuchuan felt a sense of emotion.

If I were to stand with Qi Changqing again now, to unsuspecting outsiders, their identities would probably be switched.

Jiang Yuchuan landed quietly in his courtyard without alerting Qi Changqing.

He had already checked everything in the courtyard from the air. It was exactly as it was when he left, and it was spotless and immaculate.

Returning to his old haunts, Jiang Yuchuan had little intention of moving back in.

He landed at this moment solely for the sake of the peach tree in the courtyard.

More than twenty years have passed, and the spiritual energy he infused into the peach tree before leaving has been almost entirely absorbed by the tree. In about another year, the peach tree will complete its transformation and develop sentience.

In order not to disturb others when moving the peach tree, Jiang Yuchuan flicked his sleeve and used a burst of spiritual power to isolate the courtyard from the surrounding area.

Then, Jiang Yuchuan raised his palm and gently placed it on the trunk of the peach tree. As a blue light emerged from his palm, the peach tree, roots and leaves alike, vanished from its spot in the blink of an eye.

The peach tree that disappeared from the small courtyard was directly transplanted by Jiang Yuchuan into the Spirit Pearl Space, right near the spirit field where herbs were grown.

Looking at the pit in the yard where the peach tree had been removed, Jiang Yuchuan thought for a moment, then took out the pit from the peach that the tree had specially grown for him and threw it into the pit.

He had already eaten the peach back on Fangzhang Island. The reason he kept the peach pit was that he thought it might come in handy in the future.

That's why it's the perfect substitute for peach trees right now.

They share the same roots and origins, and there's not a single flaw to be found.

After planting the peach pit, Jiang Yuchuan flicked his finger and sent a wisp of blue light into the pit.

Driven by this spiritual energy, the peach pit began to grow wildly at an unimaginable speed. In just a few breaths, it grew to the size of the original peach tree, and it looked much more vigorous than the original peach tree.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded in satisfaction.

Sensing that Qi Changqing, who lived next door, had woken up and was about to push open the door to leave, Jiang Yuchuan did not linger. He immediately concealed his figure and disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, Qi Changqing, having finished washing up, unlocked the door as usual and entered Jiang Yuchuan's courtyard.

In the more than twenty years since Jiang Yuchuan left, whenever he was in town, he would come to Jiang Yuchuan's courtyard at the same time every day, either to clean or to go into the study, sit quietly inside, and read for an hour or two.

This time, as usual, Qi Changqing walked into the courtyard and stood still, his eyes fixed on the peach tree in the yard.

After decades of living together, Qi Changqing was extremely familiar with everything in Jiang Yuchuan's courtyard, down to every blade of grass and every tree.

Therefore, he was quite certain that the peach tree in front of him was definitely not the same one as before!

Although the two are very similar in size and shape, Qi Changqing can still tell the difference between them at a glance.

"Sir, is that you who's back?"

A slightly trembling voice echoed in the courtyard.

His response was the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

Qi Changqing slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the unfamiliar peach tree in front of him. Uncontrollably, memories of the time he spent living with Jiang Yuchuan in the courtyard surfaced in his mind.

Time passed without Qi Changqing noticing the clear footsteps outside the gate, which snapped him out of his melancholy thoughts and turned to look at the courtyard gate.
