Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

36: Chapter 36 The Name of the Immortal Lord!Elder Chen’s beard trembled with excitement: ”Little Yan, you... you...”

Gu Yan nodded slightly to the two of them.

Then, he swept out his Divine Sense again. After confirming that the Grand Elder, the Xuan Chenzi, and the others were heavily injured but not in immediate mortal danger, he felt slightly relieved.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon Li Wuya, whose aura was the most terrifying on the field, yet who now looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Li Wuya felt a massive pressure lock onto him, making it almost impossible to breathe.

”This person’s strength is absolutely above mine!”

”Could he have already broken through the pinnacle of martial arts and reached the legendary Nine Transformations?”

Escape!

At this moment, only this single thought remained in his mind!

Li Wuya’s figure suddenly transformed into an afterimage, fleeing rapidly outward.

”You invaded my Sect and harmed my friends and family, and you still think you can leave?”

Gu Yan’s voice was ice-cold. Without any visible movement, a longsword glinting with a piercing cold light was already in his hand.

It was precisely the Low Grade Magic Treasure, the azure nether cold light sword.

He gave a seemingly casual swing toward the fleeing afterimage.

Clang!

A brilliant and frigid sword light caused the entire battlefield to instantly fall into absolute silence and lose all color!

Wherever the sword light passed, Li Wuya’s Eighth-Turn Martial Saint body—which was enough to look down upon the world—was completely annihilated without even being able to let out a scream, turning into nothingness.

At the same time, Gu Yan’s Divine Sense split into thousands, using his Divine Sense to manipulate The Flowing Light Splitting Shadow Sword technique he had learned in his early years.

In an instant, countless subtle yet sharp Divine Sense Sword Intents precisely swept through every corner of the battlefield.

All the invaders currently fighting the Taiyi Dao Sect Disciples, regardless of their cultivation level, froze simultaneously. Then, their eyes glazed over, and their life force was instantly cut off.

With one sword strike, an Eighth-Turn Martial Saint fell!

With one thought, the entire host of enemies was executed!

In the world, only the whistling wind, the heavy breathing of the Taiyi Dao Sect members, and an unspeakable shock remained.

The anger in Gu Yan’s heart had not yet dissipated.

This Liyang Island had attacked his home base while he was in the middle of a Breakthrough; they were practically dancing in his minefield.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has killed the Demons from Beyond the Heavens, Li Wuya.]

[Devour Module activated... Successfully devoured the damaged System ”Martial Arts Godhood System”.]

[Reward: Word Entry draw attempts +1]

Gu Yan was slightly surprised: ”Demons from Beyond the Heavens? System?”

”So this Li Wuya was also someone with a cheat; no wonder he could cultivate to the Eighth-Turn.”

”However, it seems his System’s grade wasn’t high, or it was in a damaged state.”

Now was not the time to look into it deeply.

With a wave of his sleeve, vast spiritual power fell like spring rain, covering the entire field.

All the injured of the Taiyi Dao Sect felt a warm and majestic power surge into their bodies, quickly stabilizing their injuries and repairing their damaged Meridians and internal organs.

”Thank you, Elder Longevity!”

”Elder’s Divine Ability is peerless!”

The wild joy of surviving a disaster and the awe of absolute power caused everyone to bow down one after another, their voices trembling with excitement.

The way they looked at Gu Yan was already like looking up at a god.

Gu Yan, however, had no heart to enjoy this worship.

His figure moved again, and he had already brought Lin Wei and Elder Chen back to the Longevity Manor.

”Junior Brother, you...” The two of them looked at the scene before them, feeling the profound mystery of the spatial shift, their hearts churning with massive waves.

This was definitely not something that could be explained by martial arts methods!

Even a Nine Transformations Venerable probably couldn’t achieve such an act that seemed like it belonged to an Immortal or a god!

Gu Yan waved his hand and carefully examined the two, confirming that it was just an excessive depletion of True Yuan and slight internal tremors, with no major issues. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

”Senior Sister, Elder Chen, what exactly is the situation with Liyang Island? When did they attack my Taiyi Dao Sect?” Gu Yan asked.

Lin Wei calmed her mind and recounted everything that had happened over the past month, including Liyang Island’s attack on the Great Qian and their threats to the Sect.

She detailed the intelligence regarding the suspected Eighth-Turn Martial Saint, the Sect’s resolution, and today’s battle.

After Gu Yan finished listening, he understood the situation but couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

The strength he displayed today indeed far exceeded the norm; it would likely be difficult to explain using ordinary martial arts Realms.

”Forget it, since they’ve all seen it, there’s no need to intentionally hide anything anymore. Anyway, they wouldn’t be able to understand it either.”

Gu Yan felt at ease and decided to just let things take their course.

Before their astonished eyes, he made a casual stroke with his hand, and a Pill Furnace appeared within the Immortal Cave.

Then, with a flick of his finger, his own spiritual power transformed into furnace fire, and he swept his Divine Sense over several medicinal fields on Longevity Peak.

Several rare Spirit Medicines were drawn through the air and tossed into the furnace.

After just a moment, the furnace lid opened, a pill fragrance wafted out, and hundreds of round, translucent healing Spirit Pills flew out.

They were then wrapped in a roll of linen that Gu Yan casually summoned.

Gu Yan handed the linen bag to the dumbfounded Elder Chen and said:

”Elder Chen, please distribute these Medicinal Pills to the more seriously injured Elders and Disciples in the Sect. They should help them recover quickly.”

Elder Chen reflexively took the jade bottle, his lips trembling a few times.

”...Alright, leave it to me!”

Watching Elder Chen leave, Gu Yan turned to Lin Wei and handed her a bottle of Medicinal Pills, saying:

”Senior Sister, you meditate and heal here first. I need to enter a brief seclusion to stabilize my Realm.”

Lin Wei took it.

She gave him another deep look.

Complex emotions filled her beautiful eyes: shock, confusion, and an even more indescribable sense of peace.

A thousand words churned in her heart, but in the end, they only turned into a slight nod.

Gu Yan sat down cross-legged to one side and began to stabilize his newly broken-through Nascent Soul Realm.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, he moved his mind and tried to communicate with the System.

”System, I have one lucky draw attempt now, right?”

[Do you wish to draw a Word Entry?]

A prompt appeared, still without an intelligent response.

Gu Yan wasn’t disappointed; he had long known his System was an artificial idiot.

He thought about it and didn’t plan to start drawing the Word Entry now.

He had just finished a fight; his luck might not be great. He’d wait for another day after bathing and burning incense.

...

Meanwhile, Elder Chen had already returned to the main battlefield on Cloud Mist Peak with the Spirit Pills Gu Yan had refined.

When the linen was opened, the pill fragrance made the spirits of all the injured Elders and Disciples lift.

As the Medicinal Pills were distributed, they melted upon entering the mouth, and the gentle yet powerful medicinal strength quickly traveled through their limbs and bones, stabilizing their injuries.

Many critically injured Sect members soon saw a hint of color return to their faces.

...

Several days passed. After a tragic and fierce battle, the Taiyi Dao Sect entered a period of intense healing and recovery.

In this battle, the outer Sect buildings were severely damaged, and many halls and pavilions in the inner Sect were also broken, presenting a shocking sight.

However, what provided a bit of comfort was that the Disciple casualties were far smaller than expected.

This was thanks to the Sect’s resource allocation in recent years, which had greatly improved the overall strength of the Disciples.

Among them, an Inner Sect Disciple named Ji Yingying performed particularly brilliantly.

With her Fourth Transformation Late Stage cultivation and a set of superb sword techniques, she fought nine Liyang Island Martial Cultivators of the same rank alone without falling into a disadvantage.

She even saved several fellow Disciples at critical moments.

Her calm decisiveness and extraordinary talent left a deep impression on all her fellow brothers and sisters.

And after this battle, the prevailing mood throughout the Sect was not shrouded in sadness.

Instead, a sense of excitement and pride was quietly surging!

Within the Taiyi Dao Sect, there was actually hidden a peerless expert who could easily kill an Eighth-Turn Martial Saint!

While the various Elders were comforting and teaching the Disciples, although they didn’t reveal more of Gu Yan’s background, all the Disciples knew it was Elder Longevity who had turned the tide.

Afterward, everyone’s form of address for Gu Yan changed from Elder Longevity to the more respectful Longevity True Lord.

In the hearts of many Elders and Inner Sect Disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect, Longevity True Lord’s status had already surpassed that of the ancestors of previous generations.

He was catching up to, or even surpassing, the Ancestral Master!

Meanwhile, the Sect’s upper echelon—Xuan Chenzi, Yun Chenzi, Elder Qingquan, and others—felt even more complex emotions and awe when communicating in private.

Whether it was Gu Yan’s instantaneous appearance that day, his destruction of enemies with Divine Sense,

or that sword light that surpassed understanding—none of it could be explained within the scope of martial arts.

A self-evident guess emerged in their hearts and quickly became a consensus.

This Longevity True Lord was indeed... an Immortal descended to the mortal world, or the Reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse!

If it weren’t so, there would be no way to explain those heaven-reaching methods.

However, since Gu Yan didn’t take the initiative to say it, they tacitly remained silent.

They treated this as the Sect’s highest secret.

...

Two months passed in a flash.

Inside the Longevity Manor, Gu Yan woke up after stabilizing his Realm. He had a brief conversation with Lin Wei and learned that her injuries were healed and her cultivation had even improved slightly as a blessing in disguise.

After the two talked for a while.

Gu Yan pondered for a moment. With a thought, the azure nether cold light sword appeared in his hand.

The sharp aura of the Low Grade Magic Treasure made the temperature inside the Immortal Cave seem to drop slightly.

”Senior Sister, this sword is named Azure Nether Cold Light. It has some spirituality and is incomparably sharp. You should take it for self-defense.”

Lin Wei was startled and quickly declined: ”I cannot! Such a divine weapon, how could I...”

Gu Yan, however, wouldn’t take no for an answer and pressed the hilt into her hand.

”Do you remember in the past, when you gave me that sword forged from Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron?”

”At that time, I thought that if I obtained something better in the future, I would definitely give it to you.”

”Now, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Senior Sister, please do not decline again.”
