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

After several more attempts, Li Tie was finally certain that the kid opposite him was stronger than him in a contest of strength!

But strength is not the same as power. Since he couldn't take the hammer back, he would just charge at it with his bare body!

As a body cultivator, his physical strength is virtually invincible among martial artists of the same realm!

Seeing Li Tie abandon his weapon, tense all his muscles, and charge towards him, Jiang Xiaochuan raised an eyebrow slightly and casually flicked out a few streams of spiritual energy.

As expected, Li Tie did not dodge, but just as these spiritual energies were about to hit him, his skin instantly turned silver-copper.

The spiritual energy struck it, producing several sounds like steel clashing.

"Copper skin and iron bones?"

This was Jiang Xiaochuan's first time encountering a body cultivator, so he immediately became interested, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

"Perhaps I can test the power of my newly mastered aerial talisman drawing technique on this person!"

With this in mind, Jiang Xiaochuan did not end the battle immediately. Instead, he dodged while occasionally using the leaves around him to launch counterattacks against Li Tie. At the same time, he secretly drew talismans in his sleeve with his other hand.

Li Tie was unaware of Jiang Xiaochuan's plans, assuming that Jiang Xiaochuan's strength had reached its limit. The leaves that flew at him were, to him, nothing more than a tickle.

"Boy, if you can admit your mistake right now and kowtow to me three times in public, I will be magnanimous and let you off this time, how about it?"

Li Tie, looking smug, shouted at Jiang Xiaochuan with a loud laugh.

Jiang Xiaochuan ignored Li Tie, because the fire dragon talisman in his hand was already complete.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Xiaochuan shot out dozens more leaves as cover, and then flicked out the runes imprinted on his palm.

Under Jiang Xiaochuan's control, the popped-up rune did not immediately explode, but instead attached itself to one of the leaves.

Li Tie naturally hadn't expected Jiang Xiaochuan to have this trick up his sleeve, so he smiled contemptuously at the leaves Jiang Xiaochuan launched again, completely ignoring them.

"Kid, stop doing pointless things—"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Tie suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

It was only then that he noticed that among the inconspicuous pile of leaves that had come to him, there was a leaf with runes!

—No martial ethics!

Just as Li Tie was about to dodge, the talisman attached to the leaf suddenly exploded, and the huge fire dragon instantly swallowed it.

The sudden change took the onlookers by surprise.

Only a very few powerful martial artists noticed that the fire dragon was planted by Jiang Xiaochuan beforehand; as for the others, they were all completely baffled.

The fire dragon burned for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before it finally dissipated.

At this moment, Li Tie had turned into a lump of charcoal, smoke billowing from his mouth, and fell backward.

But Jiang Xiaochuan could sense that Li Tie, who was burned beyond recognition and no longer resembled a human, still had a breath left.

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't go up to finish him off. After all, he had no grudge against Li Tie, and the small conflict that had just occurred had already taught him a lesson with a Fire Dragon Talisman.

Jiang Xiaochuan only used 40% of his spiritual power to cast that Fire Dragon Talisman. He was quite satisfied with its power.

If it had been a non-physical martial artist, they would probably have been burned to ashes long ago.

Similarly, if he used another ten percent of his spiritual power, it would be enough to take Li Tie's life.

When Jiang Xiaochuan returned to the spot where he had just rested, the martial artists around him looked at him with more scrutiny and apprehension.

Among these martial artists, Jiang Xiaochuan spotted a familiar figure—the woman in disguise whom he had met with Zhuge Jingxing at the town's inn earlier.

Jiang Xiaochuan never expected that he would meet this person again by such a coincidence.

It was clear from the slightly surprised look in the woman's eyes that the two shared almost the same thoughts.

However, neither of them took the initiative to greet the other.

With Li Tie serving as a cautionary tale, no foolish rogue cultivator dared to provoke Jiang Xiaochuan again.

And so, another three days passed.

At this moment, nearly ten thousand martial artists have gathered near the entrance to the secret realm. From a distance, they form a dense, dark mass, which is quite a spectacular sight.

Besides the ground, there were also quite a few martial artists standing in the void, numbering more than a dozen!

These dozen or so Golden Light Realm experts were closest to the entrance of the secret realm, and each of them exuded a powerful aura.

Just then, one of the women, a woman in palace attire with a beautiful face and holding a jade flute, suddenly opened her eyes and looked toward the entrance to the secret manual.

"The secret realm is about to open!"

Sure enough, as soon as the woman finished speaking, the energy fluctuations emanating from the entrance to the secret realm began to intensify.

The portal began to rotate rapidly with the intense fluctuations of energy and expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dozen or so Golden Light Realm warriors retreated in perfect unison, simultaneously channeling their true energy into the spatial gate.

They did this to expedite the formation of the spatial gate and to stabilize it.

All the martial artists stood up at this moment, their faces full of excitement and anticipation as they looked towards the entrance to the secret realm, which had expanded to nearly ten zhang in width.

With the combined efforts of more than a dozen Golden Light Realm experts, the fluctuating energy of the spatial gate quickly stabilized and stopped expanding outward.

"It's open! It's open!"

One of the old, unaffiliated monks shouted excitedly.

The dozen or so Golden Light Realm experts had stopped channeling their true energy. They exchanged glances and then flew into the secret realm.

Next to enter were the major forces, led by the Tianyin Water Pavilion, followed by the powerful rogue cultivators.

Jiang Xiaochuan waited in line for about 15 minutes before it was his turn to go in.

The moment Jiang Xiaochuan stepped into the entrance of the secret realm, he felt a chilling aura wash over him, and then the scene before him suddenly changed.

Although it was a forest similar to the one outside, it was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern directions and the path ahead.

Several other rogue cultivators appeared here along with Jiang Xiaochuan, but they were all very vigilant. The moment they entered the secret realm, they quickly separated and disappeared into the mist.

Soon, Jiang Xiaochuan was the only one left in the spot.

Jiang Xiaochuan looked around, then chose a direction no one had ever walked in and started walking.

"Everyone says this secret realm is full of all sorts of treasures and artifacts. I wonder how much I'll be able to get on this trip..."

Hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's mutterings, Xiaoqing peeked out and analyzed seriously, "This secret realm is of unknown size. If you wander around aimlessly like a headless fly, you're likely to end up with nothing!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Jiang Xiaochuan became humble and easygoing.

Xiaoqing narrowed her eyes and offered her suggestion: "I think you can take a different approach! First, lie low and let others fight and grab, then come out and reap the benefits while they're fighting tooth and nail and both sides are exhausted!"

"Are you trying to make me the main villain?!"

Jiang Xiaochuan said with a strange expression, "If I really did that, wouldn't I become the target of everyone's criticism and be attacked by everyone?"
