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

Standing above the boundless sea, Jiang Yuchuan watched the giant waves recede before turning and leaving.

Although Jiang Yuchuan had anticipated that taking the pearl from the whale's body would cause some turmoil in the Wuhui Sea, he did not expect the turmoil to be so great, even affecting the fishing villages far away on the coast.

If he hadn't used an array to seal the power of faith within the dragon statue, it would have been too late by the time he discovered it and took action.

If thousands of innocent lives are lost because of him, Heaven will surely hold him accountable for this debt.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the power of faith accumulated within the dragon statue came into play, and with his timely discovery and assistance, a disaster was averted.

Ultimately, it is the villagers themselves who should save the fishing village.

If their faith in the dragon were not so sincere and unwavering, the power of their faith would not have accumulated so much in just a few years, enough to withstand the towering waves for so long without anyone controlling them.

"It seems I'll have to be extra careful when retrieving the remaining two spiritual items in the future."

Jiang Yuchuan did not return to Dali, but instead went directly to another country, Dayong, along the Wuhui Sea.

According to Jiang Yuchuan's deduction, after he took away the orange flame hidden deep beneath the Ye Shi mine, there should no longer be any spiritual objects in the Da Li territory.

Based on the current distribution of the three spiritual objects that Jiang Yuchuan has obtained, the remaining two, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be hidden within the borders between the Dayong and Daqian kingdoms.

With Xiaoqing by our side now, finding the remaining two spiritual items is only a matter of time.

As evening fell, Jiang Yuchuan landed in front of a town called 'Luohe Town' located on the border of Dayong.

Jiang Yuchuan walked into Luohe Town and was greeted by a desolate scene. Looking around, there were hardly any people on the streets.

Soon Jiang Yuchuan saw an inn with its doors closed but lights on inside.

Jiang Yuchuan walked towards the inn and knocked on the door.

A few moments after the knocking, footsteps were heard inside the inn. Soon after, the waiter opened the door a crack. He was visibly taken aback when he saw Jiang Yuchuan's appearance, then quickly opened the door, peeked around, and, seeing no one nearby, pulled Jiang Yuchuan into the inn.

"Young sir, please come inside quickly!"

Jiang Yuchuan looked at the waiter who nervously locked the shop door again and asked, "Why are you in such a panic? Has something happened in town?"

At this moment, there were only one or two tables of guests in the inn, and all their eyes were focused on Jiang Yuchuan.

"Young sir, are you from out of town?" The waiter asked Jiang Yuchuan again after locking the door.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded. "I'm from Daqian. I'm going to Dayong to look for something."

After leading Jiang Yuchuan to a seat, the waiter said with a serious expression:

"What you are looking for in Dayong, young sir, is not for me to inquire about. But if it is not something extremely important, I would advise you to leave this place and return to Daqian as soon as possible! Our Luohe Town is very unsafe lately, especially for a handsome young man like you!"

"Oh? Why is that?" Jiang Yuchuan asked curiously.

Before the waiter could speak, an old man sitting at another table interjected, saying bitterly, "That's because a few months ago, a demon known as 'Red-Clad Man' appeared in this area! This Red-Clad Man is extremely skilled in martial arts and specifically targets boys and girls under the age of fifteen to abduct. Countless children from the surrounding villages and towns have already been captured by this demon!"

"The man in red?"

Jiang Yuchuan looked at the old man and asked, "I wonder why this man in red is capturing so many young men and women?"

"That damned demon! What kind of evil arts are they using to practice on these innocent children?!"

The fat middle-aged man sitting opposite the old man continued through gritted teeth, "All the children captured by that demon had their blood drained and their hearts ripped out by Fang Fang! The remaining unused corpses were all dumped in the woods behind the mountain!"

"This man in red is so arrogant, treating human life like dirt. Does the Great Yong Dynasty intend to send someone to deal with him?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yuchuan raised the question again.

The old man sighed, "Why didn't they send anyone? But those who were sent either couldn't find the Red-Clad Man's hiding place, or they were no match for him and died tragically at his hands. Most importantly, when the Red-Clad Man captures people, he never targets the children of high-ranking officials and nobles; the victims are all ordinary people like us!"

"The officials and soldiers sent by the imperial court, seeing how difficult the Red-Clad Man was to deal with, and that we, the victimized civilians, could not offer any decent compensation, eventually stopped putting in any effort. Whenever a child went missing, these officials and soldiers would just go through the motions and didn't bother to investigate at all."

The old man's words silenced the hall once again.

At this moment, the waiter served Jiang Yuchuan several hot dishes. "Young sir, don't go anywhere tonight. Tomorrow morning, before dawn, quickly leave the town and return to Daqian along the small road!"

The waiter's tone was particularly sincere. Although Jiang Yuchuan wouldn't leave, he didn't refuse the waiter's kindness and nodded with a smile.

Time soon came to late at night.

Jiang Yuchuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, slightly curled the corners of his lips, and then lay down pretending to be asleep.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing, who was crawling around the room, immediately scrambled into Jiang Yuchuan's sleeve and hid.

Half an hour later, a blurry figure appeared on the window paper of Jiang Yuchuan's room. Then, a small hole was poked in the window screen, and a thick cloud of white smoke poured into the room through the hole.

A few moments later, the window was quietly opened, and a figure dressed in red climbed through the window into the house, picked up the unconscious Jiang Yuchuan, jumped out of the open window onto the street, and ran towards the outskirts of the town.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the man in red carried Jiang Yuchuan into a dense forest. At this moment, several other figures dressed in the same clothes appeared one after another.

Each of these people was carrying a boy who looked to be about the same age as Jiang Yu on their shoulders.

After the group of people in red gathered together, they did not exchange any words and followed a hidden path in the forest to the foot of a large mountain.

The leader in red stepped forward a few steps, reached out and pushed hard on a seemingly ordinary stone wall, and a loud "boom" immediately rang out not far away.

As the stone gate slowly rose, a huge opening soon appeared before everyone's eyes.
