Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

32: Chapter 32 Li Wuyai!Time flew by, and another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yan’s Realm finally achieved a Breakthrough to the second level of the Golden Core.

During these ten years, the ”immortal lord fuzhe” entry still didn’t provide any decent rewards, mostly just some Spiritual Plant seeds.

He casually scattered them into the cracks and crevices of the rocks around the perimeter of his Immortal Cave.

If they survived, they would add some Spiritual Qi and vitality to this place of quiet cultivation.

If not, he would just let them fend for themselves.

Given the current conditions, it was best to just let fate take its course.

Half a month later, someone visited outside the Immortal Cave.

”Junior Brother Gu, your Senior Sister is here to visit. May I see you?”

A clear, smiling female voice drifted up from below the cliff.

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes from his meditation and replied, ”Senior Sister, please come up and let us talk.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure drifted up like a light feather and landed steadily on the platform at the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

The visitor was none other than Lin Wei.

For these years, Gu Yan had been in secluded cultivation, and she had never disturbed him.

Firstly, she did not want to disturb his peace, and secondly, she was also in a critical period of attempting a Breakthrough to the Peak of the Sixth-Turn Martial Immortal.

Only recently had she achieved Perfection and fully stabilized her Realm, which was why she had come to reminisce.

Lin Wei stepped into the Immortal Cave and saw Gu Yan standing quietly inside at a glance.

Their gazes met.

Gu Yan’s appearance remained unchanged, his bearing still elegant and refined.

However, Lin Wei was no longer the young girl of the past.

Her youthful awkwardness had long since faded.

Yet, due to her high position, profound Cultivation, and the nourishment of Medicinal Pills, her appearance was equally bright and beautiful.

It was just that there was now more composure and dignity between her brows than in the past.

”Junior Brother, we haven’t seen each other for decades. Have you thought about your Senior Sister?”

”Naturally, I have.”

Gu Yan answered earnestly, though he felt a bit ashamed in his heart.

For a cultivator like him, once he emerged from deep meditation, time flowed like sand between his fingers, making it truly difficult to feel the longing of a long separation.

But this was something he absolutely could not say.

If his Senior Sister were to make an issue of it, he would not be able to handle it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei’s smile deepened.

She was clearly quite satisfied with this answer.

The next moment, she took another step forward, pushed gently with her fair hand, and pressed Gu Yan down...

...

Half a month later.

Lin Wei leaned against Gu Yan’s side and said softly, ”Junior Brother, although the interior of this Immortal Cave is spacious, it is too simple and desolate; there isn’t even a decent bed.

Next time, how about I have a Disciple send you some daily necessities?

You can’t always be like this in the future, using the sky as a quilt and stone as a mat.”

Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then shook his head, ”There is no need to trouble yourself, Senior Sister. I am planning to excavate a new Immortal Cave myself.

After all, this place was the former residence of the Ancestral Master, and the environment is limited. Some Spiritual Plants I have obtained in recent years are not suitable for cultivation here.”

Lin Wei heard this and looked up at him, ”A new Immortal Cave? Where? You must tell your Senior Sister, otherwise, if I want to find you next time, I will have to go ask the Xuan Chenzi again.”

”Alright, I will definitely inform you, Senior Sister.” Gu Yan nodded.

After sharing a few more tender moments, Lin Wei finally got up, tidied herself slightly, and drifted away.

Gu Yan meditated alone in the Immortal Cave for a few days, stored his few personal belongings into his storage ring, moved his body, and headed towards the main hall of Cloud Mist Peak.

Finding the Xuan Chenzi, Gu Yan stated his purpose directly, ”Xuan Chenzi, I would like to find another secluded place for quiet cultivation and also to Cultivate some medicinal herbs. Is there any suitable location in the Sect?”

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Chenzi immediately smiled and said, ”Since Elder Gu has spoken, of course there is. Please follow me.”

He led Gu Yan to a higher mountain Peak behind Cloud Mist Peak.

This mountain Peak had a natural Immortal Cave, and outside the entrance was a rare, flat open space.

The view was excellent, and one could overlook the magnificent outlines of the three main Peaks of the Taiyi Dao Sect: Danxia, Yunmiao, and Qijian.

Beside the Immortal Cave, there was even a clear spring flowing.

Stepping inside, the space was even more spacious than the previous one, and the stone chambers were well-arranged.

What was even more surprising was that there was a natural hot spring deep inside.

Gu Yan’s eyes lit up, and he silently praised, ”This is my dream Immortal Cave!”

He immediately thanked the Xuan Chenzi and took out dozens of jade bottles he had prepared in advance from his sleeve—or rather, from his storage ring—and placed them on the stone table nearby.

”Thank you for your trouble, Xuan Chenzi. These Medicinal Pills were refined by me recently. They are quite helpful for martial arts cultivation and also have the effect of extending Lifespan and nourishing the essence. Perhaps they can help the Sect add a bit more Foundation.”

The Xuan Chenzi was overjoyed at the sight!

He knew deeply that the Medicinal Pills refined by Gu Yan were miraculous. Previously, the Sect had tried to replicate them, but none were successful.

These Medicinal Pills might be able to create a few more Sixth-Turn Martial Immortals!

He accepted them solemnly, filled with deep emotion.

Thinking back to the days before Myriad Beast Valley, he had once tried to act as an expert and invite this hidden Elder to enter the valley to find an Opportunity.

At that time, Gu Yan probably already looked down on those so-called exotic beasts in the valley.

Suppressing his complex emotions, the Xuan Chenzi bade farewell and left.

Gu Yan then went to Changqing Workshop again and purchased a large amount of herbs and various daily necessities.

Afterwards, he went to find Lin Wei to inform her of the location of his new Immortal Cave.

Hearing that it was another Immortal Cave, Lin Wei couldn’t help but smile, ”Junior Brother, why are you so partial to Immortal Caves? Could it be that you were a hermit practicing in the mountains in your past life?”

Gu Yan smiled and said, ”An Immortal Cave is quiet and close to nature, which is beneficial to my cultivation.

Rest assured, Senior Sister. This time I have purchased high-quality bed and daily necessities, so it will definitely not be as simple as the last time.”

...

Endless Sea Region, Liyang Island.

In a deep and dim hall, nine figures sat cross-legged in the shadows.

They were all the heads of the major families on Liyang Island, and the one with the lowest Cultivation was at the Middle Stage of the Sixth-Turn.

And Xu Yishan was impressively among them.

Sitting at the head was an old man in a black robe, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

His face was withered, but his body faintly exuded an aura that made everyone present feel oppressed.

This person was the true Dominator behind the scenes of Liyang Island.

Xu Yishan’s ability to Breakthrough to the seventh turn was entirely due to his guidance and support.

At this moment, what they were secretly discussing in the hall was the full-scale invasion of the Great Qian Dynasty.

”The trans-oceanic warships have been built, enough to transport 500,000 elite troops, and the resources of the islands have also been allocated and concentrated.”

A family head reported in a deep voice.

Xu Yishan said coldly, ”Since everything is ready, why don’t we send troops to the Great Qian Dynasty immediately?”

”I, Xu, am willing to be the vanguard! First, trample the Taiyi Dao Sect!”

”I second that!” another family head said immediately.

”Several large islands that are still watching from the sidelines have already spoken: unless we take down the Taiyi Dao Sect first, they will never submit.”

”Exactly! If this Sect is not removed, it will always be a major threat.”

”In the last hundred years, they have emerged with several Sixth-Turn Martial Immortals one after another. If they attack from the rear while we are attacking the Great Qian Dynasty, and coordinate with the Great Qian Dynasty, we will surely be caught in a pincer attack.”

”I am willing to lead the elite troops myself to break the mountain gate of the Taiyi Dao Sect first, and then march directly to the Imperial Capital of the Great Qian Dynasty!”

Everyone expressed their stance, and their core demand was surprisingly consistent: the Taiyi Dao Sect must be destroyed first.

Except for Xu Yishan’s personal vendetta, the others were more out of deep fear.

They knew their own affairs well. The Cultivation of the several people present at the Middle or Late Stage of the Sixth-Turn was mostly forcibly elevated by unorthodox means.

Their Foundation was unstable, and their combat power was discounted.

Facing the Taiyi Dao Sect, whose background was unknown and which frequently produced Martial Immortals, they did not have full confidence.

The hall was filled with an aura of killing, and the discussions were heated.

Only the old man in the black robe at the head remained indifferent.

The old man was named Li Wuya.

No one knew that residing in this old body was a Soul from another world.

When he first arrived in this world, Li Wuya was just an orphan whose parents had both died, struggling to survive at the bottom of the Demonic Path, his life as insignificant as an ant.

Yet at that time, something called the [Martial Dao Becoming God System] bound to him.

How domineering and tempting the name sounded.

Becoming a God!

Who wouldn’t crave it?

However, the condition to activate the System was actually to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty and become the emperor of a new dynasty.

But for an orphan of the Demonic Path who couldn’t even guarantee his survival from morning to evening, to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty that had lasted for thousands of years?

In his eyes, this System instantly turned from an awesome Golden Finger into a piece of trash, completely useless.

But once the thought of becoming a God was planted, it was hard to remove.

Since there was no help from the System in the early stage, he would rely on himself!

He was not a good person in his previous life, and in this life, to achieve his goals, he could be even more unscrupulous.

He endured, schemed, plundered, and slaughtered.

To quickly increase his strength, he accepted all kinds of evil Cultivation Techniques and secret methods that harmed the heavens and reason.

He even went so far as to use the essence and blood of living people as resources.

In his eyes, the people of this world were no different from NPCs.

As long as it could help him reach the Peak, it didn’t matter how many were sacrificed.

After hundreds of years of struggling, he crawled out of the endless sea of blood, quietly came overseas, took root on this Liyang Island, developed his forces in secret, and gradually plotted his great cause.

Relying on his ruthlessness and scheming, he integrated the various forces on the island.

He even pushed his own martial arts Cultivation to the shocking Peak of the seventh turn.

Now, his forces were established, the trans-oceanic warships were ready, and it seemed that everything was prepared.

But Li Wuya was suspicious and cautious by nature.

Especially towards the Taiyi Dao Sect, which had been in the limelight in recent decades, and the potentially hidden Foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty, he still had a trace of fear.

Just when the sounds of killing in the hall were getting louder, and everyone was looking at him with fiery eyes.

Li Wuya slowly opened his mouth and said, ”Attacking the Great Qian Dynasty and destroying the Taiyi Dao Sect is a predetermined matter.”

”However, to ensure absolute safety...”

”This seat has decided to first attempt a Breakthrough to the Realm of the Eighth-Turn Martial Saint.”

Eighth-Turn!

This word exploded in everyone’s mind like a thunderbolt!

Even Xu Yishan, who was full of hatred, suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock.

The Eighth-Turn of martial arts was the legendary Realm of truly transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint, touching the rules of heaven and earth!

They had originally thought that their master’s Peak of the seventh turn Cultivation could be called the best in the world.

Unexpectedly... he had already touched the threshold of the Eighth-Turn!

It must be known that the seventh turn was when the mental will was tempered to the extreme, condensing the Martial Soul.

And the Eighth-Turn Martial Saint needed to completely fuse the Martial Soul with the True Qi of the three hundred and sixty-five acupuncture points throughout the body.

Opening up an inner world belonging to oneself within the body.

From then on, every word and action could resonate with the power of heaven and earth.

Forming a near-rule suppression on those of lower Realms, and the Lifespan could reach two thousand years.

However, this step was extremely dangerous. Failure would result in, at best, damage to the Martial Soul and a drop in Realm, and at worst, death and the dissipation of the Dao.

Xu Yishan took several deep breaths before asking in a trembling voice, ”Master... how much confidence do you have?”

Li Wuya’s eyes swept over the silent crowd in the hall, and he said indifferently:

”If I didn’t have ten percent confidence, why would I have made you spend so much effort to collect those ten thousand young boys with pure Yin Eight Characters and young girls with pure Yang Eight Characters?”

As soon as this was said, everyone felt a chill seeping into their bone marrow.

They knew their master’s methods were Li Wuya and his Cultivation Technique was evil, but hearing that ten thousand young boys and girls were so casually regarded as resources still made their scalps tingle.

This master was worthy of being a great Devil Head, truly regarding all living beings as grass and mustard.

”You all continue to train the army, perfect the plan for crossing the sea, and stockpile supplies.”

”This time I will be in secluded cultivation, for as short as twenty or thirty years, or as long as sixty years.”

”The day I emerge from seclusion... will be the time when the Great Qian Dynasty collapses!”

Everyone shivered, and they all bowed and replied, ”We obey the Master’s order!”
