CH 148

There are countless cultivation sects in the Canglan Realm. Everyone pursues longevity and yearns for ascension, but since chaos two thousand years ago that broke the heavenly road, there has been no one in this world who could ascend.

With the passage of time, the spiritual energy in the entire Canglan Realm has become less and less.

The cultivation stage in the Canglan Realm follows after getting spiritual energy into their body and entering the qi refining stage, followed by foundation establishment, golden core, nascent soul, enlightenment, distraction, and Mahayana stage.

The strong mahayana will go one step further and will cross the tribulation. If they succeed in crossing the tribulation, they will be able to ascend to the immortal world and live forever.

Two thousand years ago, golden core cultivators were everywhere in the Canglan Realm, and nascent souls were as numerous as dogs. However, in the present, two thousand years later, the sect with a strong nascent soul was already called a great sect in the Canglan Realm. In the entire Canglan Realm, the strongest person can only be in the distraction stage.

That person is Qingtian Sect, the most powerful sect in the cultivation world, and the martial uncle of the current sect master, Daoist Haoran.

Daoist Haoran is also the only person in the cultivation world who has survived the chaos two thousand years ago.

But now, he has reached the end of his life.

In this world, a cultivator in the Qi refining stage can only prolong their life and strengthen their body, but his lifespan won’t be too long. Only those foundation establishments, who were strong, can extend their lifespan to two hundred years. Those in the golden core stage can live to four hundred years. Those nascent souls can live up to eight hundred years…and the mahayana stage can only live for more than two thousand years.

Those mahayana experts, who experienced the chaos two thousand years ago, are now gone. As an expert in the distraction stage, Daoist Haoran can survive until today because he ate the vermilion fruit that can prolong life in his early years. In fact, Daoist Hoaran has a secret – he possesses a rare pure translucent physique in the world.

In the Canglan Realm, cultivators generally do not eat secular food, because these foods contain impurities, which will affect their cultivation.

But even so, when they eat pills, spiritual beast meat, and spiritual plants, they will also accumulate impurities in their bodies.

If someone uses pills to improve their strength, the spiritual energy in their body will be mixed with it and become impure.

However, pure translucent physique people…they are born with a pure body. When impure spiritual energy enters their bodies, it will be purified into pure spiritual energy, so there’s no impurities in their bodies. When they dual cultivate with others, they could also purify the other person’s body!

Daoist Haoran possesses a pure translucent physique, his body is transparent and pure, so he can live for such a long time.

However, he still died when he reached the mahayana stage.

If Daoist Haoran can successfully advance to the mahayana stage, with his physical condition, he can live for another thousand years, but he failed.

The reason for the failure was the lack of spiritual energy in this world.

If he reached the mahayana stage more than 2,000 years ago, he would definitely be able to advance successfully, but it’s a pity that it’s the present 2,000 years later.

Cultivation goes against heaven. Once a cultivator dies, their soul will be scattered and they will not enter reincarnation…Once Daoist Haoran dies, his soul dissipates instantly.

And in his body, another soul entered.

Yan Jingze — waking up, he found himself sitting in a cave surrounded by stones.

He didn’t know who he was, and couldn’t remember what happened in the past. Fortunately, the memory of this body was still there, allowing him to understand his current situation.

The stones beside him were not ordinary stones, but spiritual stones whose spiritual energy had been sucked clean.

The original owner of his body, Daoist Haoran, took out all his belongings and found a place to break through to the Mahayana stage, but failed. Now, he has become Daoist Haoran.

Yan Jingze looked back at Daoist Haoran’s life, and found that his life was really boring.

Daoist Haoran possesses a pure translucent physique. People with such a physique can not only purify the impurities in their own bodies, but could also purify the impurities in their dual cultivation partner. They can even make it so that their partner has less heart demons. That’s why there are so many people pursuing them, wanting to be their partners.

When Daoist Haoran was young, he had many suitors.

However, he was unmoved and only focused on cultivating.

His parents are both powerful cultivators, and he also has a master who loves him. If he doesn’t want to find a partner, no one can bother him.

He focused on cultivation and became stronger and stronger. During that period, his martial brothers and martial sisters accepted apprentices one after another, but he still cultivated alone.

Possessing great talent himself, he devoted himself to cultivation…He finally became the strongest person in the Canglan Realm.

People around him passed away one after another…Now, he is also the person with the highest seniority in the Canglan Realm!

Although he doesn’t go out very much, nowadays, the cultivators in the Canglan Realm all regard him as an ancestor and respect him extremely.

Yan Jingze is quite satisfied with his identity.

He is invincible and unparalleled in the world, with disciples and grand disciples all over the world…how wonderful!

It’s just…he has a problem now.

The original owner failed to breakthrough, and all his spiritual energy was used to protect his body. Now it’s all disappeared, his whole body is empty.

In addition, he is not the original owner after all, he needs to be familiar with the spells that the original owner knows before he can use them.

Yan Jingze sat down and carefully studied his current situation.

This — studying, he found that he also has an advantage — his soul force, that is, his primordial spirit, is stronger than the original owner, it has reached the mahayana stage. If he really wants to talk about strength, he has reached the mahayana stage, so his life expectancy should also increase by a thousand years.

However, his body is between the distraction stage and the Mahayana stage, so he needs to use his own soul to maintain it…His current strength is at most the nascent soul.

— Must heal the injury as soon as possible!

Yan Jingze was thinking like this when he suddenly felt that the restriction placed by the original owner outside the cave was touched.

Someone approached his cave and wanted to come in!

Yan Jingze immediately used his soul force to investigate, but as a result, his body began to have problems…so, now he can’t take care of it.

Yan Jingze found out that outside his cave, someone was sneakily trying to break the restriction. Besides that, this person is actually a demon cultivator!

In the Canglan Realm, there are not many demon cultivators, but most of them are extremely vicious.

Cultivators have inner demons and obsession, so they cannot be called demon cultivators…The so-called demon cultivators refer to those who use extremely cruel cultivation methods to cultivate.

Existing demon cultivators’ methods generally step on the corpses of other cultivators to climb up to enhance their own strength, and their spiritual energy is often very mixed.

However, if a demon cultivator deliberately hides it, it will be difficult for others to discover their identities, let alone the person in front of him is carrying a special magic artifact…

If the person sitting here is the original owner, he may not be able to tell that this person is a demon cultivator, however, his primordial spirit has reached the mahayana stage, so he can tell at a glance.

The demon cultivator cautiously tested, probably to investigate his situation.

Wait, this demon cultivator actually broke in!

Yan Jingze was a little confused.

The cave that the original owner used to break through to the Mahayana stage was not the original owner’s cave.

The original owner’s cave is located in Qingtian Sect. The original owner needs too much spiritual energy to break through to the mahayana stage, so he may absorb the spiritual energy in Qingtian Sect…For the sake of his own sect, the original owner specially found a mountain outside and arranged an array around it.

The original owner knew that by trying to break through to the mahayana stage this time, he may die, so he simply didn’t notify Qingtian sect, and only hoped that he could hide his death for a long time.

The original owner is the strongest person in the cultivation world, and the second strongest in the cultivation world is a demon cultivator…The original owner has been worried that the demon cultivator will massacre QingtianSect after learning of his death.

Therefore, even if he died, he wanted to die quietly.

He did die quietly, too.

However, when he died, he still made some noise and attracted a demon cultivator in the end. Besides that, because when the original owner tried to break through to the mahayana stage, he sucked the surrounding spiritual energy clean, the prohibition array the original owner set was not very effective, so at this moment, the demon cultivator drove straight in.

This demon cultivator’s strength is not low. He’s only in the early stages of nascent soul but he is so bold…

At this time, it is better to strike first, then to suffer disaster.

Yan Jingze — gritted his teeth, directly mobilized his soul force and gave that demon cultivator a blow.

His powerful primordial spirit directly entered the demon cultivator’s body, crushing the demon cultivator’s soul, then the demon cultivator fell on the ground without a sound.

However, Yan Jingze’s own physical condition is even worse now.

He was able to use his primordial spirit a little before, but now…if he uses his primordial spirit again, his body will definitely collapse.

In addition, all his spiritual energy has been absorbed by this empty body…

In a short time, he can’t use any strength anymore!

No, it’s not that he can’t use any strength. It should be said that in a short period of time, he can only be a weak chicken in the Qi refining period…If he fights with someone in the Qi refining period, he could still be alright.

Yan Jingze tugged at his beard depressedly.

Wait…beard?

Yan Jingze suddenly thought of something — the original owner was really annoyed by being pursued all the time when he was young, so when he reach nascent soul, he deliberately changed his appearance into an old man!

So his current appearance is…an old man with white beard and hair.

The original owner has a pure translucent physique, even if he becomes an old man, he is still a handsome old man, but Yan Jingze is still a little depressed.

He doesn’t want to be that old.

But he’s ‘old’…well, looks don’t really matter that much.

He is also quite good now, his immortal demeanor is very convincing!

Yan Jingze quickly accepted his current appearance.

For cultivators, appearance is secondary.

Among other things, although he looks like an old man, he has no wrinkles on his white-haired and childlike face. His skin is also very delicate, which is completely different from a real old man.

The only troublesome thing is that with him looking like this, many people know him, so if he goes out, he needs to put on some disguise.

Yan Jingze planned to return to Qingtian Sect.

If he continues to stay here, who knows if there will be another demon cultivator? That was too dangerous for him!

When he returns to Qingtian Sect and his own cave, he will be safe!

In the cave over there, there are many inheritances left by him!

Yan Jingze stood up and walked out. After walking a few steps, he saw the demon cultivator’s body.

Wait, this demon cultivator…is wearing the clothes of Qingtian Sect’s outer disciple?

Yan Jingze thought of something, then scratched the face of the demon cultivator…and grabbed a magic artifact in the form of a mask.

Yan Jingze continued to rummage, then found the identity card of Qingtian Sect’s outer disciple in this person’s storage bag, as well as a lot of odds and ends — this demon cultivator should have created an identity for him and sneaked into the Qingtian sect.

Maybe he was aiming at the original owner, that’s why he popped up as soon as something happened to the original owner!

Yan Jingze thought for a moment, and put the mask-shaped artifact on his face.

If he went back to Qingtian Sect with his original appearance, it would be bad to be recognized halfway, but he can use this demonic cultivator’s disguised identity to return to Qingtian Sect!

T/N: I really love and hate xianxia with a passion Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
