Martial Arts Crossover: Me, the Immortal Venerable, Opens a Pawnshop in the Martial Arts World

This achievement is something he can be very proud of.

But right now—

Long Yang, ranked third on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, was only two places above him.

At the age of eight, he actually reached the Nascent Soul realm, a level he never dared to even dream of.

Such talent, yet the difference is as vast as the ocean!

Even with his resolute will, Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of despair.

Deep within the palace on a secluded island in the East China Sea, in the Great Qin Dynasty.

Xu Fu was already slumped on the throne, his face pale and his eyes vacant.

Only one thought remained in his mind—

Horrible...so terrifying!

Xu Fu was audacious and reckless throughout his life. He came from humble origins as a street urchin, yet he dared to meet with Qin Shi Huang, and even dared to betray the emperor's authority.

But what he saw today completely shattered his ambitions and delusions.

Long Yang's talent is truly extraordinary!

From then on, he never dared to have any improper thoughts again.

After devouring the essence of the phoenix and entering the realm of celestial beings, Xu Fu's ambition spread like wildfire, giving rise to a wild desire to devour the universe and dominate all things.

But now...

Longyang.

The life trajectory of just eight years has shattered the mind and broken the will of this once powerful man who once dared to dominate the world, so much so that he dares not even have a single distracting thought!

Deep within the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Tribulation of Transformation into a Divine Being..."

"To have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of eight?"

Xiao Sanxiao stared at the scene that appeared in the Ten Directions True Martial Technique and immediately recognized the true origin of the dark clouds that covered the sky.

He breathed slowly, trying his best to suppress the turmoil churning within him.

How long has it been?

Since consuming the essence of Xuanwu, gaining immortality and breaking through the limits of heaven and man, he was utterly devastated after his wife's death—

More than two thousand years have passed like flowing water, without stirring up even the slightest ripple.

However, since the appearance of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking and the sudden emergence of Long Yang's name, his state of mind has been shaken to the extreme.

The cognitive system that had stood firm for four thousand years crumbled under the information shock brought by Long Yang!

It can be said,

Longyang's life had only just begun.

Yet it is far more vast and awe-inspiring than anything Xiao Sanxiao has experienced and witnessed over four thousand years!

It's not that Xiao Sanxiao has a narrow perspective.

Having lived for over four thousand years, he has seen countless heroes and powerful figures, reaching the pinnacle of the world. His knowledge and experience make him the most knowledgeable person in the entire land.

What's truly astonishing is that Longyang achieved godhood at the age of eight—it's simply too shocking!

The shackles between heaven and man that he could not overcome even after two thousand years,

Longyang broke through at the age of three. Not only that, but at the age of eight, he crossed the Nascent Soul stage and entered the Divine Transformation stage!

This is tantamount to trampling Xiao Sanxiao's arduous cultivation and glory into dust and grinding them into powder!

Just as Xiaoyaozi, Xu Fu, and Xiao Sanxiao were lost in thought and doubting their own path to immortality because Long Yang was about to undergo his tribulation,

High above, countless mortals were still unaware of what had happened.

Suddenly, the thick, dark clouds that had covered the sky burst open, revealing a myriad of strange phenomena—birds soaring and dancing, beasts roaring in unison, and heaven and earth resonating in harmony, as if the scene of Longyang's descent into the world had been recreated!

As the strange phenomenon unfolded, the thunderclouds that had covered the sky dispersed at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the sky returned to normal, and the sky was clear and blue. There was no trace of the devastating signs that had appeared before.

Everything returned to calm.

at the same time,

A line of dazzling golden script materialized from the void, illuminating every pair of eyes across the Nine Provinces:

[Long Yang broke through to the Celestial Realm at the age of three, entering the Nascent Soul Realm; at the age of eight, he successfully overcame the Heavenly Tribulation and achieved the position of Deity Transformation!]

That dazzling golden light was not only imprinted in the pupils of all living beings.

It's more like a merciless, sharp blade, piercing straight into the heart and soul!

The pain caused countless warriors across the land to blush with shame and be speechless for a long time.

Nascent Soul! Deity Transformation!

They may not understand its meaning.

But they could see it clearly—it was a "breakthrough to the heavens and man"!

At the age of three, he had already surpassed the level of a celestial being!

What kind of monster is this?

It should be known that those above the heavens and men...

Before the appearance of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking and the emergence of Long Yang, even Xiao Sanxiao, who had lived for more than four thousand years and was comparable to a legend, could only stop at the limit of the Heavenly Man!

Before the Heavenly Ranking was created, there were very few masters in the world, as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

now--

Long Yang, before he was even out of his swaddling clothes, had already reached the level of a celestial being.

This can no longer be described as "extraordinary talent"; it is defying the heavens and defying the wrath of gods!

And then there's the lightning tribulation...

Just now, the sky was filled with dark clouds and thunder roared, as if the end of the world had come—could that have been the legendary heavenly tribulation?

That saying, which only exists in ancient books, goes like this: When cultivation reaches its peak, it will trigger the thunderous punishment of the nine heavens. If one can overcome this punishment, one will transcend the mortal realm and become a saint, ascending to immortality.

And that "transformation into a god"—could it be... the realm of immortals?

Before Longyang's past was revealed,

Everyone in Kyushu believed that Long Yang was an even greater successor to Xiao Sanxiao.

They had long anticipated that Long Yang's strength would be astonishing.

But who could have imagined that he would reach the Nascent Soul stage at the age of three, surpassing even the celestial beings;

······

At the age of eight, he survived the legendary heavenly tribulation, joined the ranks of the Deity Transformation, and became a true immortal...

Eight years old!

At this moment, Longyang was just an eight-year-old child!

He has actually surpassed Xiao Sanxiao, who is ranked third on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, by a full two major realms!

And how terrifying must Long Yang, who still exists today, be in terms of strength?

Unbelievable! Absolutely unfathomable!

Countless martial arts practitioners across the world were completely blank at this moment. No matter how hard they tried, they could not fathom what level a genius like Long Yang would eventually reach if he were to remain undefeated for a thousand years!

because……

In their limited understanding, the celestial beings are the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation!

As for Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation... they are merely higher realms that one only learns about after breaking through existing knowledge, and even the pinnacle of the cultivation path!

In the imperial garden of the Tang Dynasty.

"The Nascent Soul Realm, the Deity Transformation Realm."

"Above the celestial beings, there's actually a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Entering the Nascent Soul stage does not yet grant one an immortal body; only upon reaching the Deity Transformation stage can one be called an immortal?"

"This Immortal Longyang... actually reached the ultimate realm that countless martial artists across the Nine Provinces pursue throughout their lives at the age of eight?"

"I originally thought that the top three strongest on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, even if they were astonishing, were nothing more than celestial beings..."

"At most, it's just a little bit higher, but above the Celestials is the limit of the Nine Provinces."

"Who would have thought... that the immortal Longyang, who was only ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, had already broken through the insurmountable supreme realm in the old Taoist's heart when he was only three years old."

"At the age of eight, he directly transcended tribulation and ascended to immortality, achieving the path of immortality..."

Yuan Tiangang muttered to himself, appearing like a madman, his expression dazed, his mind on the verge of collapse.

Having lived for over three hundred years, his experience is among the best in the entire land.

That's why his shock at this moment was so intense!

He even began to doubt whether what he had seen and heard over the past three hundred years was just a superficial illusion... as if the Kyushu of the past three hundred years was not real!

"well……"

Li Shimin, sitting opposite Yuan Tiangang, looked at Yuan Tiangang's distraught appearance and was about to offer words of comfort.

But he found that his heart was also shattered by Long Yang's deeds.

In the end, all I could do was sigh, filled with helplessness and powerlessness.

The power of the divine beings was something that no dynasty could withstand.

Nowadays, the strongest individuals on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking are becoming increasingly outrageous.

Long Yang, who was only eight years old at the time and had surpassed the realms of Heaven and Man, could overturn the world's order with just a word once he appeared!

The Qin Dynasty, the Yin-Yang School.

Donghuang Taiyi gave a bitter smile, which grew increasingly bitter.

"The Mystery of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon..."

"Instead of clinging to this, we should follow in the footsteps of the immortals."

"Above the Celestial Realm is the Nascent Soul stage. After the Nascent Soul stage, one must undergo a tribulation of lightning to become an immortal and advance to the Divine Transformation stage..."

"Long Yang, ranked third on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, is only eight years old, yet he has already reached the Divine Transformation stage!"

"This person's potential is far greater than what he has achieved!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng, who had witnessed Long Yang's transformation into a deity at the age of eight, nodded silently, deeply agreeing.

Even though he once longed for the existence of immortals in the world.

But Longyang's existence was far beyond what was expected!

Moreover, the concepts of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation are unprecedented!

After a moment of contemplation, his gaze swept over the rewards given to Xiaoyaozi on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, and he suddenly murmured:

"From the Nascent Soul stage onwards, it is no longer within the scope of martial arts."

"Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation... these should be the realm of immortals, or rather, the path of 'cultivation' that transcends martial arts!"

Donghuang Taiyi staggered backward, his eyes vacant, gazing at the sky for a long time.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, he finally managed to open his mouth, his voice dry and cracked:

"The realm of celestial beings..."

"Although it is elusive and difficult to find, there are still clues to be found."

"But these Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages... there isn't a single record of them anywhere in the world!"

"Only scattered legends mention the scene of immortals undergoing tribulations."

"Perhaps... beyond the realm of celestial beings, the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stages... no longer belong to the martial arts."

"It is the path unique to immortals!"

"The Path to Immortality!"

Deep in the dense forests of the Song Dynasty.

Dugu Qiubai, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, and with his usually cold and indifferent demeanor, finally collapsed.

Uncontrolled bursts of sword energy erupted, tearing through the mountains and forests, roaming freely.

At this moment...

Even a legendary swordsman's heart was utterly thrown into turmoil!

Outside of Yong'an Pawnshop.

"The Nascent Soul Realm... The Deity Transformation Realm..."

"Unheard of! Absolutely unheard of!"

"The title of Grandmaster... it turns out, is nothing more than that..."

"So, what Immortal Lingtian said earlier was entirely true..."

"That Blazing Fire Technique, capable of transcending two major realms above Celestial Being, is actually just a low-level cultivation method..."

Standing in front of Ling Tian, ​​Yao Yue gazed at him, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

However, because she had personally practiced the Blazing Fire Technique and experienced its earth-shattering power firsthand,

Therefore, a sliver of clarity remained in his mind—even the attack method that Ling Tian called "low-level" could help people break through the shackles of heaven and man and ascend to a higher realm once again!

For this reason, although the shock in her heart was still overwhelming, it was far more restrained than that of Lianxing, Bai Zhantang and others.

At this moment, more than her astonishment at Long Yang, she felt a profound awe and curiosity towards Ling Tian!

With her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, Yaoyue glanced at Ling Tian's figure without making a sound, and sighed quietly in her heart.

"Long Yang, ranked third on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, was born with extraordinary talent, achieving Nascent Soul at the age of three and Deity Transformation at the age of eight; what kind of heaven-defying and unparalleled past must the even more astonishing Ling Tian Immortal have?"

"In the path of cultivation, how many realms are there? And how unfathomable are they?"

this moment,

Yaoyue couldn't help but feel secretly glad that she hadn't shown any arrogance in front of Ling Tian.

Otherwise, with Ling Tian's power that transcends the mortal realm, he could probably crush her, a grandmaster, like an ant with just a flick of his hand!

Even more effortlessly than killing an ordinary person!

……

Above the nine heavens, the golden script appeared, and Longyang's aura was completely stabilized.
