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

On the other side, Jiang Yuchuan and Yan Guang, who had entered the capital of Beirong before the others, had already penetrated deep into the city center.

Upon entering this city, or rather, the next instant after entering this underground world, Jiang Yuchuan discovered that his divine sense was restricted by a special energy, and the range he could detect was reduced to only a radius of a few dozen feet centered on himself.

This situation immediately perked Jiang Yuchuan up, and at the same time, a sense of excitement welled up in his heart.

The fact that it could restrict his divine sense, which was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, was enough to show that the secret he was looking for was within this glowing city!

Right now, what he wants to go to is the royal palace of the Northern Rong Kingdom.

Yan Guang did not have the same clear goal as Jiang Yuchuan.

He was dragged in by Jiang Yuchuan in a panic, and after entering this city that looked so strange, he didn't dare to leave Jiang Yuchuan's side for even a moment.

As for treasure hunting, he had long since forgotten about it.

Yan Guang believed that he was able to get this far entirely thanks to Jiang Yuchuan. If he could pick up one or two items while Jiang Yuchuan was searching for treasures, that would be ideal. Even if he ended up with nothing, he wouldn't feel any bad emotions.

It is precisely because of this open-minded attitude of "if I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate" that Yan Guang has been able to survive intact in this cruel wilderness to this day.

However, walking through this eerily quiet and deserted city, Yan Guang couldn't help but let his mind wander and scare himself. So he took the initiative to start a conversation, trying to distract himself:

“Young Master Jiang, you say this capital city is truly strange. It has been buried underground for thousands of years, yet it still looks as if it were newly built. In particular, those glowing stones embedded in the walls and roofs have been shining for thousands of years. When I was on the surface, I had never heard of such a thing.”

"The world is full of wonders, this is nothing special."

Hearing Jiang Yuchuan's very calm tone, Yan Guang asked curiously again:

"Young Master Jiang, you must have seen quite a few strange and wonderful places like this, right?" Then, as if talking to himself, he said, "Thinking about it, it seems that some amazing stories that happened in the Great Qian territory did circulate in this desolate desert a few years ago. Among them, the story of the Sea Dragon King undergoing tribulation was the most detailed and sounded like the truth."

Jiang Yuchuan smiled upon hearing this, "I didn't expect the legend of the Sea Dragon King to have spread so far, even reaching the Great Desert Sands."

“Of course!” Yan Guang chimed in, “Not to mention the Great Desert, even in the Great Li Kingdom across the way, you can often hear storytellers recounting the story of the Sea Dragon King. But—judging from Young Master Jiang’s tone, you seem quite familiar with the story of the Sea Dragon King’s tribulation? Could it be that Young Master Jiang witnessed it with his own eyes?”

Jiang Yuchuan nodded and said frankly, "I have had the privilege of witnessing it. It's nothing special, just a thunderstorm with a larger scale. It's not as exaggerated as the rumors make it out to be."

"I think so too."

Yan Guang wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "In my opinion, all those Sea Dragon Kings and immortals are just made-up stories! If such powerful beings truly existed in this world, why would there be no trace of them?"

"Elder Yan is absolutely right!"

After casually agreeing with him, Jiang Yuchuan stopped in his tracks.

When Yan Guang saw Jiang Yuchuan stop, he looked ahead and saw a tall wall made of neatly cut bricks blocking his way.

Seeing this formation, Yan Guang knew that they had arrived at the foot of the royal palace of the Northern Rong Kingdom.

"Is Elder Yan waiting for me here, or is he planning to come in with me?"

Jiang Yuchuan asked this question because the tall palace wall in front of him was different from other parts of the city; it was completely dark and without a single ray of light.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's question, Yan Guang replied without hesitation, "Since I'm already here, I naturally want to go in with Young Master Jiang."

"Alright."

Yan Guang's decision was entirely within Jiang Yuchuan's expectations. "Let's just jump in. The city gate has been closed for so long. If we just push it open, it will inevitably cause quite a commotion."

"Hehe, let's do everything as Young Master Jiang says!"

After discussing it, the two immediately leaped over the tall stone wall and jumped into the palace behind it.

The palace, surrounded by city walls, was like two different worlds from the outside, so dark that there wasn't a single ray of light.

Yan Guang looked at the buildings standing tall and short in the darkness, resembling monsters baring their fangs and claws, and couldn't help but swallow.

"Why is it so dark in here! Shouldn't the imperial palace be the most luxurious and prosperous place? How could it be like this?"

Yan Guang could hardly believe what he was seeing, and at the same time, his heart was pounding with excitement.

"Who knows?" Jiang Yuchuan glanced around and said nonchalantly, "Let's go in and take a look."

The two had barely taken a step when Yan Guang, whose eyes had just adjusted to the darkness, suddenly screamed, pointing in terror to a wall on her left, her voice trembling as she said:

"Young Master Jiang, look, look at that wall, isn't there someone standing there!"

Jiang Yuchuan turned his head and looked in the direction Yan Guang pointed. Sure enough, he saw a thin, ragged figure standing straight facing the wall.

“It is indeed a person.” Jiang Yuchuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he said with interest, “However, it’s a dead person.”

"--dead?!"

Yan Guang still looked shaken. "Could this dead man be a remnant of the Northern Rong Kingdom?" He then shook his head, denying his own guess. "Impossible! How could someone who has been dead for thousands of years have such a well-preserved body! It must be someone who came in before me and was trapped inside!"

"Let's go over and have a look."

Jiang Yuchuan knew from the first glance that the mummified corpse standing facing the wall was not what Yan Guang had guessed, but a person from the same period who was buried under the yellow sand along with this ancient city of Beirong.

Before the two could get close, they saw the mummified corpse start to sway on its own.

"!!!"

Yan Guang immediately stopped in his tracks, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the swaying, desiccated corpse.

"interesting!"

After getting close enough, Jiang Yuchuan immediately figured out why the mummified corpse was moving.

Just then, several screams and cries of alarm rang out from outside the palace walls, completely shattering the silence in the city.
