Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

1: Chapter 1: Five Elements Spiritual Body, From Now On, You Can Cultivate Immortality![New writer, slightly plain, please be patient, dear readers; you can leave your brains here.]

Great Qian Dynasty, Qingzhou.

The night was as dark as ink. In an independent small courtyard in the outer Sect of the Taiyi Dao Sect, Gu Yan sat cross-legged on his bed.

Suddenly, his body shook slightly.

In his mind, a faint light that had been silent for a long time suddenly lit up.

It then condensed into a bronze roulette wheel.

On the edge of the wheel, seven colored regions—gray, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, and red—were clearly defined.

[Heavens Entry System loading complete]

[This System adheres to the principle of ’what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not destined to be yours should not be forced,’ providing an entry extraction service.]

[Current extraction interval: One hundred years]

[First-time activation, one free extraction chance granted.]

Gu Yan opened his eyes, his expression somewhat dazed.

It had been ten years.

Since he was ten years old, when the shock of his parents’ death triggered the Awakening of his past life’s memories...

This Golden Finger had left a slowly loading progress bar deep in his consciousness.

From the initial ecstatic anticipation to later skepticism, and finally to almost forgetting it in recent years...

He once thought it was just a hallucination caused by the collision of memories from two lifetimes.

As it turned out, it truly existed.

Only...

”Once every hundred years?”

”Whether I can even live to be a hundred is a question. Are you telling me to leave an inheritance for my grandson?”

Gu Yan rubbed the space between his eyebrows, his tone full of helpless complaining.

In his previous life, he was a corporate slave also named Gu Yan. While working a part-time job delivering food on a rainy night, he was sent to this world by a dump truck running a red light.

In this world, martial arts flourished, and Martial Artists could be called Martial Cultivators.

Martial arts were divided from the First to the Ninth Transformation, and each transformation had four minor Realms: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak.

Rumor had it that those at the Sixth Transformation or above could be called Martial Immortals, with a Lifespan of five hundred years.

A Ninth Transformation Venerable could have a Lifespan of up to three thousand years.

His parents were originally Outer Sect Disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect, with a cultivation level at the Late Stage of the First Transformation.

But when he was ten, they died at the hands of Demonic Martial Cultivators while performing a Sect mission.

On the day he heard the bad news, he was overcome with grief and unexpectedly awakened the wisdom of his past life.

Pulling back his scattered thoughts, Gu Yan refocused his attention on the bronze wheel in his mind.

”The first free chance...” With a slight thought, he no longer hesitated. ”Spin it!”

The wheel began to turn slowly, the seven-colored lights flowing incessantly, making one dizzy.

The needle flew past gray, green, blue, purple...

Its speed gradually slowed, and finally, it came to a steady stop in the orange region.

[Extraction successful]

[Obtained Entry: Five Elements Spiritual Body · Orange]

[Five Elements Spiritual Body: Possessing the Innate Five Elements Spiritual Roots of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Can absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Five Elements into the body for cultivation. It is an excellent Aptitude for seeking the Dao and cultivating immortality.]

Gu Yan was stunned.

Five Elements Spiritual Body?

Immortal cultivation?

In his previous life, he had read plenty of novels in his spare time, so he naturally understood the weight of the Five Elements Spiritual Body in the context of immortal cultivation.

But the problem was, wasn’t this a world where martial arts flourished?

Could he Cultivate immortality?

Does this world have Spiritual Qi?

If not, no matter how strong this orange entry was, wouldn’t it just be an illusion?

Gu Yan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Now that he had his cheat, no matter what, he had to try it first.

He reined in all stray thoughts and, according to the descriptions in the cultivation novels from his past life, concentrated his mind to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Having cultivated the basic Mind-Cultivation Technique, ”The First Transformation Chapter of the Grand Unity of Morality Sutra,” for over ten years, he might not have made much progress in other areas.

But he had already practiced the skill of entering a meditative state and calming the mind to a high degree of proficiency.

Soon, Gu Yan entered a state of self-oblivion.

At first, his mind only felt a sense of chaotic darkness all around.

But after an hour had passed, tiny specks of light actually emerged from the darkness.

Gold, azure, blue, red, and yellow.

The five colors intertwined, with a few other colored light spots mixed in between, like mist and haze, quietly floating between heaven and earth.

”This! Could this be Spiritual Qi!”

Gu Yan steadied his somewhat excited mind and tried to use his will to draw in the nearest golden speck of light.

The nearest speck of light trembled slightly as if attracted, slowly floated over, and vanished into the space between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a cool and refreshing breath with a slight sharpness flowed down through his Meridians.

Finally, it sank into his Dantian, turning into a faint warm current.

[Detected that the host has successfully drawn Qi into the body, stepping onto the path of Qi Refining and immortal cultivation.]

[Personal Status Panel function unlocked]

[Gu Yan]

[Lifespan: 20/80]

[Realm: First Level of Qi Refining]

[Entry: Five Elements Spiritual Body · Orange]

A simple interface appeared in his consciousness. Looking at the words ”First Level of Qi Refining,” the corners of Gu Yan’s mouth couldn’t help but curl upward.

”Only an immortal cultivation Realm... That’s right, if one can Cultivate immortality, who would still practice martial arts?”

Even if one became a Ninth Transformation Venerable, their Lifespan would only be three thousand years.

And he vaguely remembered from the immortal cultivation novels in his past life that a Nascent Soul Cultivator could live for a thousand years.

The Lifespans of Soul Transformation and Void Refining Cultivators were even more difficult to calculate.

After cultivating for several more hours, the darkness outside the window faded, and a touch of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon.

Gu Yan stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, which had become somewhat stiff from sitting cross-legged all night.

The blood and Qi of his original Early Stage First Transformation martial arts flowed slowly through his body, clearly distinct from the warm current of Spiritual Qi in his Dantian.

There was even a faint, subtle sense of complementarity between them.

”The Taiyi Dao De True Scripture Cultivates blood and Qi, following a martial path of tempering the Physical Body and stimulating potential.”

”While this immortal cultivation absorbs Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, refining the Divine Soul and spiritual power...”

Gu Yan walked into the courtyard, looking at the gradually brightening sky, his thoughts racing.

”Can the two... be cultivated together?”

There was no answer yet.

But he had to find the answer.

The System only provided an extraction chance once every hundred years; this clearly meant that while the master leads you to the door, the cultivation depends on the individual.

As an orange entry, the Five Elements Spiritual Body undoubtedly gave him an excellent starting point far beyond that of ordinary people.

The rest of the path had to be explored step by step by himself.

Gu Yan returned to the room and pulled out a somewhat old small wooden box from under the bed.

Inside were several bottles of Blood-Qi Pills suitable for First Transformation Martial Artists.

Plus dozens of taels of loose silver and a bronze token.

On the front was engraved ’Taiyi · Outer Sect,’ and on the back were the two words ’Gu Yan’.

”It’s time to report to the Mission Hall.”

Yesterday, he had taken a Sect mission to clean the first floor of the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion, which would earn him five Sect Contribution points.

Before he could completely support himself through immortal cultivation, his martial arts cultivation couldn’t stop, and he still had to continue earning Sect Contribution points.

After all, people need to eat, and ’rice buckets’ like Martial Cultivators have an even greater demand for food.
