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

As soon as the secret technique was used, Xuanxi felt the scene before her suddenly change, as if she were in another world.

In this world, everything is crimson, with vast expanses of clouds burning and scorching like flames in the sky.

Below is an endless expanse of surging lava, and above the lava stands a towering black mountain that pierces the sky.

Xuanxi stared blankly at the scene before her, which looked like the end of the world, her shock beyond words!

He rarely used this secret technique, but it was not the first time he had ever encountered such a scene!

After regaining her senses, Xuanxi activated the secret technique again, and the scene before her slowly faded away and changed.

At this moment, Xuanxi felt as if she had suddenly shrunk a lot.

He looked up at the towering trees that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the colorful exotic flowers and plants that were several meters or even tens of meters tall. He felt as insignificant as an ant.

However, Xuanxi quickly realized that it wasn't that he had shrunk, but rather that the plants in front of him were too big!

This vast and strange scene, like the crimson flames filling the sky and the magma scorching the ground just now, was something he had never heard of or seen before!

The former belongs to 'fire' and represents the past, while the latter belongs to 'wood' and symbolizes the present.

Fire and wood are opposites, so how could they both appear in the same person?

Just as Xuan Xi was shocked and puzzled, the scene before him changed again. This time, however, the change had nothing to do with Xuan Xi, because he had not used any secret techniques.

The giant tree and flowers disappeared in an instant, and Xuanxi's field of vision suddenly opened up.

What unfolded before Xuanxi's eyes was a vast, verdant grassland, with a cloudless blue sky overhead.

Although the scene that appeared this time was not as shocking as the previous two times, it made Xuanxi feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

He even considered staying there permanently.

Xuanxi instantly stiffened and banished such a strange thought.

He soon discovered the unusual nature of this place. There was sky, earth, and light, but no sun!

Just as Xuanxi looked up at the blue sky above, a sudden change occurred!

Two enormous golden orbs of light slowly appeared in the sky.

The moment the ball of light appeared, Xuanxi instantly had the illusion that she was being watched.

--wrong!

This is not an illusion!

Someone was really watching him!

Xuanxi immediately looked at the two orbs of light hanging high in the sky!

The moment their eyes met, Xuanxi was shaken to her core, and then everything went black as she returned to reality.

The events that just happened seemed long, but in reality, they occurred in the blink of an eye.

Upon returning to reality, Xuanxi's face instantly turned deathly pale, and she appeared several years older.

"That one glance just now almost cost him his life!"

Xuanxi inwardly groaned.

He really lost out this time.

Who would have thought that such a terrifying figure existed in this small town of Qingyang! Just a single glance from him caused him to lose more than ten years of his internal energy!

He is, after all, a veteran master who has been famous for nearly a hundred years. His strength, if not the best in the world, is enough to rank him in the top five!

Even so, when he used the secret method to calculate this person, he still suffered such a severe backlash, which shows how terrifying this person's cultivation level is!

Could it be that this person's realm has surpassed that of a Grandmaster?!

However, no one has reached the realm above Grandmaster for over a thousand years, so how could they possibly appear here so easily now?

That doesn't make sense!

I can't figure it out either!

Xuanxi simply didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

"Master, are you alright? You don't look too well. This divination—maybe we shouldn't do it."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's voice, Xuan Xi slowly came to her senses and looked over with a guilty and nervous expression. "I am truly ashamed. Your destiny is extraordinary, and I must forgive my meager abilities, which prevent me from seeing through it."

Xuanxi did not reveal what he had witnessed. The senior in front of him, who appeared to be above the Grandmaster level, was clearly traveling the world as an ordinary person. Why would he bother to point out the other party's identity?

But knowing something and remaining silent is completely different from being ignorant and fearless. Therefore, Xuanxi immediately changed her way of addressing him and her attitude.

Even if this senior expert didn't care about these things, he still had to maintain the corresponding respect.

Upon hearing Xuan Xi's answer, Jiang Yuchuan smiled slightly and asked, "Then will Master Gua Jin still accept this?"

Xuanxi waved her hands repeatedly: "Of course I won't accept it."

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and nodded, said nothing more, got up, slung his bamboo basket over his shoulder, and left.

Watching Jiang Yuchuan's departing figure, Xuan Xi couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She quickly tidied up the things scattered on the ground and got up to return to the inn where she was staying.

Today's experience was so terrifying and bizarre that it almost shattered his Dao heart.

He needs to go back and rest properly, and also take care of his injuries.

……

After parting ways with the old Taoist priest, Jiang Yuchuan returned to the courtyard by the same route.

In fact, when the old Taoist priest used his secret method to divine for him, he vaguely sensed a pair of seemingly invisible eyes probing him.

Since the gaze that was spying on him was so weak that he didn't sense any threat, he didn't stop it.

Even though he allowed those eyes to spy on him recklessly, the old Taoist still suffered a backlash.

It must be because his spirit was too powerful that the old Taoist priest, unaware of its depths, touched upon it too deeply, and was thus overwhelmed by his spirit.

After all, mortal martial artists cultivate only the body, not the soul. No matter how strong they are, their power is limited to the body. Once they perish, they will completely disappear. Cultivators, on the other hand, cultivate both the body and the soul. Even if the body is damaged or perishes due to an accident, the soul can survive through some means and be reborn. This is the essential difference between the two.

However, it is truly remarkable that the old Taoist priest could achieve such a feat with a mortal body.

As for the final divination result, Jiang Yuchuan was no longer very interested in knowing; the old Taoist priest's suffering from the backlash was the best proof of that.

Even if the old Taoist priest did see something in him, it was only the tip of the iceberg.

What he cares about more now is that divination technique that can reveal the secrets of cultivators.

Despite his concern, Jiang Yuchuan would not resort to force or coercion.

If he's not mistaken, the old Taoist priest will most likely come looking for him soon, at which point he'll naturally take the opportunity to inquire about him.

His confidence stemmed entirely from the old Taoist's two drastically different attitudes toward him and the fact that his own lifespan was nearing its end.

Whether mortal or cultivator, everyone shares the same desire for longevity. And the greater one's strength, the stronger this desire becomes.

It is absolutely impossible for a Grandmaster who is about to exhaust his lifespan not to have any thoughts when he encounters a mysterious being whose cultivation level is very likely above that of a Grandmaster.

In fact, Jiang Yuchuan had long suspected that there might be other realms above the Grandmaster level for martial artists in this world.

Judging from the old Taoist priest's various reactions just now, his guess is very likely to be true!

Furthermore, martial artists who reach that level are either extremely rare or practically nonexistent in this world today; otherwise, the old Taoist priest wouldn't have been so shocked and out of control after suffering the backlash!
