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

Seeing a large group of mummified corpses rushing towards him with insatiable hunger, Yan Guanggang was somewhat frightened, but he still gritted his teeth, brandished his sword, and charged forward.

To his surprise, the dried corpse that had just been so fragile in Jiang Yuchuan's hands was now so difficult to deal with.

With just one strike, his sword-wielding arm went numb.

The mummified corpse's arm, which it had cleaved with its sword, was almost unharmed, leaving only a deep, long sword mark.

This immense power and terrifying defense are simply inhuman!

But on second thought, it seems that the other party can no longer be considered human.

As more and more mummified corpses surrounded him, and no matter how much strength he used or how much true energy he employed, it seemed difficult to kill the mummified corpses completely and render them unable to fight, just like Jiang Yuchuan had done.

At most, they might cut off the mummies' arms or heads, but this did nothing to stop the mummies from continuing their attack. It seemed that the arms and even the heads were just dispensable ornaments to these mummies.

Having exhausted all other options, Yan Guang immediately sent a distress signal to Jiang Yuchuan, who was leisurely dealing with the mummified corpses one by one not far away.

"Mr. Jiang, please stop playing around and get rid of these guys quickly. If this drags on any longer, I might become one of them."

“Alright.” Jiang Yuchuan nodded in agreement, not forgetting to joke, “When I saw Elder Yan setting up his formation just now, I thought he wanted to stretch his muscles with these mummies.”

Yan Guang hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough. My old arms and legs have had enough of exchanging a few blows with this terrifying guy."

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and stopped teasing Yan Guang.

"Certainly."

As soon as the order was given, all the mummies stopped their attack and were frozen in place.

Before Yan Guangye could even react in shock, he quickly crawled out from the pile of mummified corpses surrounding him and ran to a safe spot.

After freezing all the mummies in place, Jiang Yuchuan flicked his sleeve, releasing a circle of azure spiritual energy.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, all the mummified corpses, along with the black beetles controlling their movements, turned into a pile of dry ash powder, which fell to the ground.

Looking at the dried corpse that Jiang Yuchuan had so casually turned into a pile of ashes, Yan Guang's mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there dumbfounded.

By the time he realized what was happening, Jiang Yuchuan had already entered the main hall.

Yan Guang suppressed his shock and quickly followed.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan was standing in front of a stone sculpture that was more than four zhang tall, standing in the center of the main hall.

The stone statue is bluish-black in color and is carved as a beast-like creature resembling a fierce tiger, with a single horn on its head and five tails behind it.

In the pitch-black hall, one could clearly see streams of shimmering blue light flowing across the surface of the stone statue, making it appear as if it were alive.

After Yan Guang approached and carefully examined the stone statue from top to bottom, he said:

"This is a Zheng! A divine beast worshipped by the Northern Rong Kingdom!"

"hideous?"

Jiang Yuchuan gazed intently at the heart of the stone sculpture.

What he's looking for is hidden there!

Seeing Jiang Yuchuan's expression as he examined the ferocious beast statue, Yan Guang immediately had a guess in his mind.

"Is this what Young Master Jiang is looking for?"

Jiang Yuchuan nodded.

"But—how will Young Master Jiang take such a large stone statue with him?"

Yan Guang was now in a bit of a predicament.

"No need for Elder Yan to worry about this matter, I have my own way." Jiang Yuchuan glanced around the hall and smiled. "If there is anything Elder Yan wants in this hall, Elder Yan had better hurry up and search for it. Once I take this stone statue, it will be too late."

Mr. Yan Guang was taken aback, but when he saw Jiang Yuchuan's serious expression, he realized that the other party was not joking. So he immediately ran to the huge relief pillar that was used to support the main hall.

"Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll be ready soon!"

From the moment he entered the hall, he set his sights on the large pillars, which were carved from pure gold and inlaid with nearly a hundred gemstones of varying sizes.

Upon reaching the cylinder, Yan Guang disregarded everything else and began scraping it with his dagger.

The "click, click" sound echoed in the hall for about fifteen minutes before finally stopping.

Holding Yan Guang tightly in her arms, who was laden with jewels and gold fragments, she returned to Jiang Yuchuan's side, radiant and content.

“I’ve taken everything, Young Master Jiang, you can begin now.”

After saying that, he began to securely fasten the gems and gold, which were tightly wrapped in several layers of cloth, to his body.

Without further delay, Jiang Yuchuan leaped up and arrived at the chest of the ferocious beast statue.

Just as they were taking several steps back, watching with curiosity to see how Jiang Yuchuan would move the huge stone sculpture, they saw Jiang Yuchuan throw a punch, which landed squarely on the stone sculpture.

The seemingly sturdy stone statue couldn't withstand Jiang Yuchuan's punch at all and shattered instantly.

"!!!"

Yan Guang stared blankly at Jiang Yuchuan's astonishing actions, his expression once again one of utter disbelief.

This, this, this—

Could it be that Young Master Jiang was unable to take the stone statue away and, in a fit of rage, decided to rather die than surrender?

Just as Yan Guang was lost in thought, he suddenly saw that after the stone statue shattered, there was still a stone block floating in mid-air, shimmering with a dazzling blue-white light.

"I finally found it!"

Jiang Yuchuan looked at the translucent stone, no bigger than a fist, floating in front of him, radiating a dazzling light, and simply reached out and put it away.

The instant the magical stone disappeared from the hall, the entire hall, or rather the entire underground world, began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse completely in the next instant.

Everything that was happening before his eyes was exactly as Jiang Yuchuan had predicted.

Once he removes what's hidden inside the statue, the underground world that it's kept alive will quickly turn into ruins, returning to its original state.

"Young Master Jiang, let's get out of here quickly! This main hall is about to collapse!"

Yan Guang shouted as he ran out of the hall.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuchuan appeared in front of him in the next instant.

"River--"

"I apologize for offending Elder Yan."

Before Yan Guang could finish speaking, Jiang Yuchuan knocked him unconscious.

Lifting his eyes after fainting, Jiang Yuchuan transformed into a streak of green light and headed straight for the entrance he had come from.

Meanwhile, the people fighting the mummies in the city were completely unaware of what was happening. Suddenly, the entire city began to shake violently, and in the blink of an eye, most of the surrounding houses collapsed.

"Run! This place is going to collapse!"

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?!"

"First these troublesome and terrifying mummies, then the inexplicable tremors—could it be that our actions have angered the immortals underground?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! There are no immortals out there. We should run for our lives!"

Everyone rushed headlong out of the city, disregarding everything else.

Just then, the group of people clearly saw a streak of blue light flash across the sky above them.

"Look! What is that?"

"Baby! It must be a baby?!"

"This treasure can even fly on its own, could it have been left behind by an immortal?!"

As they ran, the crowd stared intently at the blue light.

But their expressions quickly froze, because this 'treasure' had leaped into the top layer of soil and disappeared right before their eyes.

What they were most worried about at that moment was not losing the 'treasure', but how they would get back up through the layer of soil that was hundreds of feet above the ground.

Such a height is beyond the reach of even a grandmaster.
