262: The Age of Immortal Cultivation

For the next month, the entire world was in turmoil.

First, the Kunlun Immortal Palace appeared, causing the princes of the six states to vie for discipleship, but none succeeded.

Immediately after, something even more preposterous happened.

Within the Great Qin territory, outside Hangu Pass, someone discovered an ancient Sword Immortal relic on a sheer cliff!

Within that relic, there were no divine Cultivation Techniques or Secret Manuals, only a rusty iron sword and four grand characters inscribed on the stone wall, written with the flourish of a Dragon and Phoenix—

“The Dao of the Sword is the Dao of the Heart.”

Countless swordsmen moved at the news, meditating diligently beneath that sheer cliff, and some truly comprehended a trace of supreme Sword Intent from it, greatly increasing their strength!

For a time, the world was shaken!

But, this was only the beginning!

Within the Great Chu territory, deep in Yunmeng Marsh, someone discovered an ancient water mansion, which contained a fragmented Cultivation Technique called “Canghai Jue.”

Within the Great Qi territory, at the peak of Mount Tai, someone witnessed purple Qi coming from the east for thirty thousand li at sunrise, and from that purple Qi, comprehended an unnamed breathing method.

Great Yan... Great Han... Great Zhao... For a time, the entire world seemed to be filled with Opportunities and relics overnight!

A magnificent era of Cultivation, belonging to everyone, thus unexpectedly began!

Countless ordinary people and Jianghu rogues all scrambled, hoping to find their own Immortal Opportunity.

And the instigator of all this was lying in a rocking chair in the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

“Damn it! System, are you crazy for money?!”

Lu Yuchen pointed at an item labeled “Chaos Jade Butterfly” on the light screen, spitting, “You dare to sell this broken plate for ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand Revered Master-Disciple Points?!”

“Why don’t you just rob me?!”

Just a month ago, his System, which had been idle for a long time, finally received an upgrade.

It not only activated the mall function but also added a currency called “Revered Master-Disciple Points.”

As long as he “established a sect” and spread the Dao throughout the world, if anyone benefited from the “Dao” he passed down, he would receive corresponding Revered Master-Disciple Points.

Since he started taking Disciples in the Tianwu World, he had been busy creating alternate identities and making relics, working tirelessly.

He had accumulated a few thousand Revered Master-Disciple Points.

But when he saw the “Immortal Goods” in the mall, which cost tens of thousands, or even millions, Lu Yuchen’s heart instantly chilled by half.

Poor!

One word, poor to the bone!

He looked for a long time and could only afford a few of the most basic, trashy items like “Detailed Explanation of Basic Artifact Refining” and “One Hundred Examples of Introductory Pill Formulas.”

“Forget it, I’m not buying it!”

Lu Yuchen pouted and directly closed the mall.

He was not the kind of fool who would be swept away by consumerism.

He had his eye on the most expensive and most powerful item in the mall—the Chaos Jade Butterfly!

That was a legendary supreme treasure, said to contain the Three Thousand Great Daos!

“Save money! I must save money!”

“Once I save enough money, I’ll buy it first thing!”

He made up his mind and once again embarked on his grand scheme of “spreading the Dao throughout the world”... The foot of Kunlun Mountain welcomed a special guest today.

An old man, dressed in coarse linen, with a resolute face, looking about sixty years old, was carrying a medicine basket and walking unhurriedly along the rugged mountain path.

He was the King of Great Qin, Ying Ji, who was on a secret inspection, seeking an Immortal Opportunity!

He did not choose to ascend the mountain directly but chose to stay at the foot of the mountain.

He wanted to wait.

Wait for an Opportunity to meet that Immortal alone.

This wait lasted half a month.

During this half-month, he ate simple meals daily and lived with the lowest-level villagers, showing no discomfort at all.

That innate imperial demeanor had long been restrained by him.

Finally, Heaven rewarded the diligent.

On this day, while gathering herbs, he truly encountered the legendary Immortal!

Between the mountain streams, a figure in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, fishing by the abyss.

Beside him was a magnificent white tiger with striking eyes.

The scene was as picturesque as a poem.

Ying Ji’s heart suddenly skipped a beat!

He knew his Opportunity had come!

He did not immediately step forward but stood quietly in the distance, not daring to disturb in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time.

The figure in the green robe seemed to finally notice his presence and slowly turned his head.

“How long have you been waiting here?”

A calm voice sounded.

Ying Ji’s heart tightened at the words.

“Junior has been waiting here for over half a month.”

“Oh?” Lu Yuchen’s face showed a playful smile, “For what purpose?”

“Junior... wishes to seek eternal life.”

Throughout his life, he had been decisive in battle, sweeping across the six states, and had long since become indifferent to life and death.

However, if eternal life was truly possible, who could refuse?

“Eternal life?”

Lu Yuchen scoffed.

“By what right?”

Ying Ji fell silent at the words.

Yes.

By what right?

By his status as a monarch? Or by his so-called grand strategies?

These, in front of a true Immortal, were probably not even worth a fart.

“But...”

“Given your sincerity, it’s not impossible to give you an Opportunity.”

“Are you willing?”

He stared blankly at Lu Yuchen.

“Disciple... Disciple is willing!”

“Disciple Ying Ji, greets Revered Master!”

...One year, fleeting like a blink.

In this year, the entire world had already changed beyond recognition.

Between the six states, there was no longer simple armed conflict.

Instead, it was a battle of Daos among Cultivators!

Countless Geniuses emerged like mushrooms after rain!

“Cultivation is the Kingly Way!”

This sentence became the consensus of everyone!

And on this very day!

Terrifying Spiritual Qi poured down from the Nine Heavens!

Dense!

Pure!

Vast!

Every living being in the entire world, at this instant, clearly felt that their Cultivation speed was more than a hundred times faster than before!

Spiritual Qi revival, a great eruption!

The Heavenly Dao seemed to have finally tasted the sweetness, no longer stingy, directly throwing down all the “private savings” it had accumulated for countless years!

...Three years passed again.

Today’s world was already full of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Qi Refining Cultivators were as common as dogs.

Even the rarest Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses were occasionally heard of.

On this day, outside Linzi City, the capital of Great Qi.

On a newly built arena, a burly man, built like an iron tower, with bulging muscles, was arrogantly surveying the dense crowd below.

His name was Tieniu, the inheritor of the “Powerful Barbarian Sect” relic. His cultivation had already reached the Purple Mansion Realm, and he also cultivated his Physical Body, possessing immense strength, making him invincible in Qi!

“Who else?!”

He roared, his voice like a great bell.

The crowd below was silent, no one daring to step forward to challenge him.

Seeing this, Tieniu became even more complacent, howling towards the sky, his voice full of disdain.

“What a damn Kunlun Immortal Palace! What 'number one in the world'!”

“In my opinion, it’s just an empty name!”

“My Powerful Barbarian Sect is the number one in the world!”

He did not know that his so-called “Powerful Barbarian Sect” was merely a pit dug by a certain unscrupulous Master, who buried a Body Refining Cultivation Technique that he had returned from the Tianwu World.

Just as he was getting carried away, a tiger that had run out of the Kunlun Immortal Palace to play and was passing by in the sky became annoyed.

“Seeking death!”

A beastly roar.

A giant white tiger paw extended from the clouds and descended.

“No—!”

Tieniu let out an unwilling roar!

...“Bang!”

A muffled thud.

A Purple Mansion powerhouse, without even a chance to resist, was slammed into the earth by the tiger paw.

His fate unknown.

“Kunlun, cannot be insulted.”
