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

Behind the black iron door was a closed, secret room.

The secret chamber wasn't very large. As soon as Jiang Yuchuan entered, he saw a fist-sized ball of orange flame floating in the air, constantly surging and leaping, enshrined on the central cylindrical stone platform.

Around this ball of fire were six smaller, crimson flames.

These six wisps of crimson fire burned silently, like guards, tightly protecting the orange-yellow flame.

The moment Jiang Yuchuan saw that orange flame, he had a feeling similar to that of seeing that mysterious stone in the ruins of the ancient Northern Rong Kingdom.

"It seems this ball of fire is what I've been looking for!"

Time was of the essence, so Jiang Yuchuan didn't think twice and immediately moved closer to the cylinder.

Just as Jiang Yuchuan took a few steps, the small red flames surrounding the orange flames began to become restless, contrary to their usual behavior.

That was as if it were a warning to Jiang Yuchuan not to get any closer.

Jiang Yuchuan was not intimidated by a mere six wisps of flame and did not slow his pace. However, he was prepared to strike at any moment as he advanced.

As if sensing that Jiang Yuchuan was still approaching the cylinder despite the warnings, the six restless flames suddenly rose into the air, and their shapes expanded tenfold as they moved, turning into clusters of red fireballs as large as washbasins.

The six large fireballs blasted towards Jiang Yuchuan the moment they took shape.

Jiang Yuchuan was prepared. Seeing the six large fireballs flying towards him, he immediately flicked his sleeve and released a burst of spiritual energy.

The six fireballs were immediately blasted away the moment they clashed with this spiritual energy.

However, Jiang Yuchuan's attack seemed to have completely enraged the six fireballs, causing them to merge together the moment they were repelled and transform into a huge crimson fire dragon.

The fire dragon roared at Jiang Yuchuan, twisting its blazing body as it charged forward once more.

Jiang Yuchuan formed hand seals, and a circular cyan magic circle was suddenly drawn in front of him.

The completed magic circle shone brightly. Just as the crimson fire dragon was about to charge, several arm-thick vines shot out from the magic circle and tightly wrapped around the fire dragon in the blink of an eye.

These vines, capable of withstanding the fire dragon's attacks, are naturally Jiang Yuchuan's natal magic weapon, the Golden Silk Green Thunder Vine.

The fire dragon, firmly bound and imprisoned by the golden silk green thunder vine, roared to the sky, urging the red flames burning on its body to become even more vigorous and intense.

Sensing the fire dragon's struggle and resistance, the Golden Silk Green Thunder Vine tightened its grip while releasing a large amount of lightning from the strands of golden silk surrounding it.

Under the constant bombardment of lightning, the fire dragon let out mournful cries, and the flames that had been burning brightly on its body quickly subsided, leaving it in a listless state.

Jiang Yuchuan had no intention of killing them all, so after seeing that the fire dragon had lost its desire to attack, he retrieved the Golden Silk Green Thunder Vine and canceled the magic array.

As expected, the fire dragon did not attack Jiang Yuchuan again. Instead, it twisted its body and floated in mid-air, staring at Jiang Yuchuan.

In fact, Jiang Yu had already discovered when he took action that this fire dragon had not developed any intelligence. All its actions seemed to be driven by some kind of instinct, and it would attack any living thing that came near it.

But seeing that the fire dragon seemed to be wary of him, Jiang Yuchuan changed his mind and turned his gaze to the seemingly harmless orange flame floating in the center of the pillar.

"I underestimated you. I never expected that such a sentient being could be born in this world."

Before Jiang Yuchuan could finish speaking, the orange flames hovering above the cylinder visibly trembled.

Seeing that its disguise had been exposed and sensing that Jiang Yuchuan was approaching it again, the orange flames seemed to have made up their minds and flew to the top of the fire dragon's head in a flash, merging with the fire dragon.

"Resisting stubbornly."

Jiang Yuchuan sneered, watching the fire dragon regroup and charge at him again. He flicked his hand, took out the jade hairpin, and launched it away.

The jade hairpin split into six beams of azure light, and with lightning speed, it pierced into the fire dragon's body before the dragon could react, pinning its entire body to the wall.

The jade hairpin was controlled by Jiang Yuchuan's spiritual power. Once the runes engraved on it were activated, they immediately appeared, like chains shimmering with blue light, binding the fire dragon tightly.

Under the dual suppression of the jade hairpin and the array patterns, the fire dragon completely lost its ability to resist, and even moving its head was extremely difficult.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuchuan nodded in satisfaction, flew to the front of the fire dragon's head, stretched out his palm, and sucked out the ball of orange flame hiding inside.

After being caught by Jiang Yuchuan, the flame's form shrank several times in an instant, becoming unusually obedient and docile.

Since this fire possesses sentience, it must know many things.

Once we're out, he'll have to interrogate us thoroughly.

To prevent this rather cunning flame from causing further trouble, Jiang Yuchuan sealed it with his spiritual power before storing it in his spatial storage.

But the instant the orange flame disappeared from the secret room, the entire secret room, or rather the entire underground space, suddenly trembled, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Jiang Yuchuan had anticipated this, and immediately crushed a top-grade Ice Soul Pill and flew away.

At this moment, the stone wall above had been completely shattered by the violent tremors, and the magma that had accumulated above crashed down, completely engulfing this space in an instant.

Protected by the Ice Soul Pill, Jiang Yuchuan suffered no injury in the surging lava.

As previously planned, Jiang Yuchuan, who was engulfed by the lava, did not stop at all and rose rapidly.

Jiang Yuchuan soon returned to where he started.

The tremors did not stop as Jiang Yuchuan rose; instead, they became increasingly intense.

A huge crack appeared above Jiang Yuchuan's head.

Through the crack, Jiang Yuchuan could even see the moonlight shining down from the sky above the ground.

Looking at the magma surging and leaping like boiling water in front of him, Jiang Yuchuan felt a headache coming on.

Judging from the current situation, this large area of ​​lava will probably erupt completely soon.

If this lava were to erupt, the miners on the mountain and the civilians living nearby would face annihilation.

All of this is inextricably linked to his seizure of that orange flame.

Jiang Yuchuan was not an evil cultivator after all. If he did nothing and let these mortals die tragically because of him, the lives of these innocent zombies would become obstacles to his future cultivation and even his inner demons.

After all, even if mortals are weak in the eyes of cultivators, they are still rare intelligent beings in the world, naturally favored by the Heavenly Dao.

If there is no karmic connection, once a cultivator harms innocent mortals, he will be marked with an invisible mark by the Heavenly Dao, and will be held accountable when he breaks through tribulations or even ascends to immortality.
