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

"Jiang Xiaochuan?"

The two guards exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

They had never heard of such a person in the Jiang family.

But seeing Ling Daochen's extraordinary bearing and amiable demeanor, one of the guards thought for a moment and replied:

"Please wait a moment, Taoist priest, while I go in and announce your arrival."

After saying that, he immediately turned and walked into the mansion.

Ling Daochen wasn't in a hurry; he stood quietly and waited.

The reason he was able to find Jiang Xiaochuan and arrive at this place was because he got the information from Zhuge Jingxing, who had joined Tianyin Water Pavilion.

He had already sent the information about the White Lotus Sect's disturbance back to the Purple Cloud Palace using a secret method, so there was no need for him to worry about the rest.

His purpose in coming to find Jiang Xiaochuan this time was something else entirely.

Meanwhile, inside the Jiang family mansion, Jiang Kai and Jiang Zhenbang were discussing matters in the main hall.

When the guards told them that a Taoist priest claiming to be Ling Daochen was coming to their Jiang family to find a boy named Jiang Xiaochuan, they were all taken aback.

Neither Jiang Kai nor Jiang Zhenbang, as the heads of the Jiang family, had ever heard of such a person in the Jiang family.

"Could we have come to the wrong place?"

Jiang Zhenbang thought for a moment and then said.

Jiang Kai shook his head. "Probably not." Then he frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Ling Daochen... why does that name sound so familiar..."

After hearing what Jiang Kai said, Jiang Zhenbang thought about it carefully and also felt that the name seemed familiar.

"I remember now!"

A moment later, Jiang Kai clapped his hands and said, "Ling Daochen! The Dao Child of Zixiao Dao Palace, it seems that's his name!"

"A Daoist disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace?!"

Jiang Zhenbang was startled, then thought it was unlikely. "It can't be—the same person, can it?"

What kind of sect is Zixiao Dao Palace? To put it bluntly, the Jiang family doesn't even have the qualifications to be given a second glance!

How could someone as dignified as a Daoist disciple, the future head of the Dao Palace, possibly have anything to do with their little Jiang family?

Jiang Kai knew exactly what Jiang Zhenbang was thinking, but he considered another possibility: "Our Jiang family is not qualified to contact an existence like the Zixiao Dao Palace right now, but don't forget, Senior Jiang also has the surname Jiang! Besides, Senior Jiang wasn't in Taiping Town recently!"

"Does the Ancestor mean that that person might be looking for Senior Jiang?"

Jiang Zhenbang felt that this idea was not impossible.

"Come on! Quickly, come with me outside and take a look!"

As he spoke, Jiang Kai immediately led Jiang Zhenbang to the door to greet them.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Ling Daochen, who was waiting outside the door, immediately looked up.

Ling Daochen could see through Jiang Kai and Jiang Zhenbang's cultivation levels at a glance.

One is at the peak of the True Embryo stage, and the other is at the initial stage of the True Embryo stage.

Although these two realms were not considered high in Ling Daochen's eyes, they were extremely rare for the Jiang family located in Taiping Town.

Oh, I know. Generally speaking, bronze-level forces that have reached the peak of the True Embryo stage have been developing and operating for over a hundred years.

As far as he knew, the Jiang family had only recently been promoted to the Bronze level.

The fact that a martial artist at the peak of the True Embryo Realm could be created in such a short time, without any sign of weakness in his aura, is something that deserves serious consideration.

Jiang Kai and Jiang Zhenbang were completely unaware that Ling Daochen had seen through their entire background.

"May I ask if you are Ling Daozi of the Zixiao Dao Palace in person?"

Jiang Kai suppressed his excitement, stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked.

Ling Daochen did not hide anything, and nodded slightly with a smile, "It is indeed me."

Although Jiang Kai and Jiang Zhenbang were already prepared for this outcome, they still couldn't help but feel excited when they heard Ling Daochen admit it himself.

The two then introduced themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Kai asked, "I wonder what the young man named Jiang Xiaochuan that Ling Daozi is looking for looks like?"

"What did he look like?" Ling Daochen recalled, "He was exceptionally handsome, around fifteen years old, and liked to wear a blue robe. Oh, right, he also had a small white snake with considerable strength that could talk."

After hearing Ling Daochen's description, Jiang Kai and Jiang Zhenbang exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Just as I thought!"

Apart from a slight discrepancy in age, the other descriptions are exactly the same as those of Senior Jiang!

Jiang Kai took a deep breath and looked at Ling Daochen, "Since Ling Daozi has come to find Senior Jiang, please wait a moment while I go—"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Kai received a telepathic message from Jiang Yuchuan and immediately changed his words, saying, "Ling Daozi, please come with me."

After leading the person to the forbidden courtyard, Jiang Kai took his leave without lingering due to his curiosity.

Upon entering the courtyard, Ling Daochen paused slightly when he saw that the person sitting in the recliner was Jiang Yuchuan, not Jiang Xiaochuan. He then stepped forward and bowed.

"Junior Ling Daochen greets Senior."

The scene of Jiang Yuchuan annihilating the Purple Lotus Saint Envoy of the White Lotus Sect in the secret realm was still imprinted in his mind.

Although he didn't know or could not tell what realm Jiang Yuchuan was at, based on the battle with the Purple Lotus Envoy, he could conclude that Jiang Yuchuan's realm was definitely above the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm!

Martial artists at this level are considered among the most elite in the current Tianque Continent.

Therefore, this address of "senior" was a respectful one from the bottom of his heart.

"I wonder what brings Ling Daozi to see Xiao Chuan?"

Jiang Yuchuan looked at Ling Daochen with a smile.

At this moment, Ling Daochen had successfully broken through to the Golden Light Realm.

It can be said that Ling Daochen is the person with the most outstanding physical constitution and talent that he has seen since he came to this world.

Even Xiao Xun, who possesses heterochromia, pales in comparison.

Unfortunately, such a prodigy already belonged to someone else and could no longer be used by him.

Ling Daochen replied truthfully, "The reason I came to seek out Hermit Xiaochuan is to invite him to participate in the beast extermination operation in the Wanshou Mountains three years from now."

"Operation to exterminate beasts in the Longevity Mountains?"

These were the first times Jiang Yuchuan had ever heard these two words.

"You haven't heard of it, senior?"

Seeing that Jiang Yuchuan seemed puzzled, Ling Daochen asked directly.

Jiang Yuchuan shook his head. "I have never heard of this. I wonder if Ling Daozi could enlighten me?"

"of course can."

Ling Daochen readily agreed, and then told Jiang Yuchuan about the origin and history of the Longevity Mountains and the beast extermination operation.

Jiang Yuchuan then realized that the Longevity Mountain Range was a very special place on the Tianque Continent, independent of the six continents.

The Wanshou Mountain Range is similar in size to Yunzhou. It has few plains and is full of undulating peaks, hence the name of the place.

The reason why the Longevity Mountains are not well known to the world is that this region is filled with a special kind of energy.

These energies are like a slow-acting poison to humans. Short-term exposure may not be noticeable, but over time, they can be fatal and difficult to cure.

Even powerful martial artists cannot completely resist the erosion of this energy.

While this energy is harmful to humans, it is not only harmless to ferocious beasts and demons, but is also a rare source of nourishment for their cultivation.

Therefore, the ferocious beasts and monsters inhabiting the Longevity Mountains are not only powerful, but also far more numerous than all six continents combined.

Initially, the major sects did not pay much attention to this, thinking that it would be enough to regularly send martial artists to hunt them down and prevent the number of ferocious beasts and monsters inhabiting the area from increasing and affecting humans.

But soon the various sects discovered that these demonic beasts were much smarter than they had imagined!

Not only do they know how to conceal their abilities and bide their time, but they also deliberately feign weakness to create illusions and confuse human martial artists, causing them to lower their guard.

Thus, when the monsters in the Longevity Mountains had accumulated enough strength to shake the Tianque Continent, they finally stopped showing weakness and hiding, and launched a full-scale beast tide to attack humanity.

It can be said that this beast tide of hundreds of millions caught human martial artists completely off guard.

Even though the various forces, led by the four major golden sects, reacted quickly and mobilized their forces to launch a counterattack at the first opportunity, it still caused irreversible and significant damage to all continents.

After thousands of years of recuperation, the strength of the demonic beasts has far exceeded the expectations of the major powers.

In this great battle between humans and beasts, thousands of Golden Light Realm experts died!

Even those at the Danxi Realm suffered over a dozen casualties.

In the end, the human warriors achieved a pyrrhic victory, driving all the remaining ferocious beasts and monsters back to the Longevity Mountain Range.

To prevent this from happening again, the four major powers each dispatched several elders at the peak of the Danxi Realm to join forces with five array masters from the Qianyuan Palace. They spent several months setting up a sealing array to completely seal off the entire Wanshou Mountain Range.
