Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 103 Twelve-Year Coincidence

The talent bestowed upon him in his previous life will lose its effect when Jiang Yun's cultivation reaches the level of his previous life's end.

To have any effect again, you'll have to wait until the next life.

Therefore, in this life, once Jiang Yun raises his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation aptitude and speed will return to normal.

However, during this period, he can find a loophole.

This loophole is to cultivate advanced techniques and condense more refined and powerful liquid mana.

This will make it more advantageous when attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage.

With this in mind, Jiang Yun began to select advanced foundation-building techniques.

There are three advanced foundation-building techniques that I brought with me from my previous life: Zhou Tian Xing Chen Yin, Bi Hai Chong Yuan Gong, and Yi Qi Chao Yuan Sword Technique.

The Zhou Tian Xing Chen Yin is suitable for those with metal or earth spiritual roots to cultivate. It can absorb the power of stars and includes a Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation technique that is extremely powerful.

The Azure Sea Replenishment Technique is suitable for those with water or earth spiritual roots. The true essence cultivated is long and profound, and the magical power is inexhaustible. Among them is the Azure Sea Replenishment Shield Technique, which has an astonishing defensive power.

As for the One Qi Returning to Origin Sword Technique, it is actually slightly inferior to the previous two techniques.

Therefore, Jiang Yun first ruled out the One Qi Returning to Origin Sword Technique.

However, there is a technique in the One Qi Gathering Technique called the Crimson Cloud Slash of Gathering Origin.

The Crimson Cloud Slash can certainly be cultivated, but its power will be greatly reduced when used with other techniques.

"I possess the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and earth, and can actually cultivate both the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Yin and the Bi Hai Chong Yuan Gong."

"However, this Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation is truly enviable."

"If one mainly cultivates the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Technique, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation will be greatly reduced."

"Similarly, if one focuses on cultivating the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Guiding technique, the power of the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Shield will be greatly reduced."

Soon, Jiang Yun made a decision.

That is, he mainly cultivates the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Guiding technique, while also mastering the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation and the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Shield, two profound techniques.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun recalled the cultivation technique of Zhou Tian Xing Chen Yin.

The entire technique was engraved in his mind, and now that he had successfully established his foundation, he could easily recall it.

Following the instructions, Jiang Yun began his cultivation.

First, the transformation of the cultivation method takes about a hundred days.

After completing the transformation of his cultivation technique, Jiang Yun did not plan to return to the Gao family.

Over the years, he has been treated very well by the Gao family.

Gao Yuanshan and his son Gao Cai were aware of Jiang Yunxian's identity as his son and attached great importance to him.

Therefore, no one in the entire Gao family dared to show Jiang Yun any disrespect.

After Jiang Yun turned eight, he often slipped out of the imperial city alone to cultivate in the desolate mountains and wilderness.

Sometimes they would be gone for months at a time, during which they would eat their fill by hunting and picking wild fruits.

Over time, the Gao family got used to Jiang Yun's behavior.

Now that Jiang Yun has reached the Foundation Establishment stage and can practice abstaining from grains, there is no need for him to frequently visit the Gao family.

As for Jiang Cheng and Su Zili, they haven't come to the Gao family to pick up Jiang Yun for so many years, so they must have already been poisoned by He Xiong, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Broken Sword Sect.

Jiang Yun began to consider it carefully.

Since he wasn't going back to the Gao family, he would continue cultivating and restore his cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop, while also cultivating divine sense techniques and spells.

"To raise one's cultivation level to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, one must also cultivate the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique to enhance the strength of one's divine sense."

"We should find a market town then; it's not right to keep practicing in the secular world."

"I don't have a single spirit stone or magic weapon, let alone the ability to refine pills."

"Furthermore, without a flying sword, the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation and the Chao Yuan Crimson Cloud Slash cannot be cultivated."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun closed his eyes again and began to cultivate his internal energy.

Besides improving his cultivation, he also practices the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique and the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Shield.

Twelve years later.

Jiang Yun was thirty-two years old. He condensed sixty-one drops of liquid mana within his body and successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, this liquid mana was extremely pure and powerful.

"After twelve years of arduous training, I have achieved some success in the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Shield technique, and I have also broken through to the first level of the Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique."

"My spiritual strength is now comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

In this lifetime of cultivation, Jiang Yun not only has advanced foundation-building techniques to help him lay a solid foundation, but also divine sense methods to enhance the strength of his divine sense.

Jiang Yun began to release his divine sense to check the strength of his divine sense, which had just broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and was now at the first level of the Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique.

It went from one hundred zhang to two hundred zhang, and finally stopped at two hundred and sixty-four zhang.

"I remember in my previous life, when I broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, my spiritual sense was only 135 zhang strong, but in this life it's 264 zhang, a full double!"

After checking the strength of his spiritual sense, Jiang Yun looked at the sky and realized it was the middle of the night.

He planned to return to the Gao family early the next morning, bid farewell to the Gao family members, and then go to the market where the monks gathered.

The next morning, Jiang Yun destroyed the cave dwelling, erased all traces, and then left the desolate mountain, flying towards the imperial city.

As they approached the imperial city, Jiang Yun discreetly landed and walked into the city.

After crossing the main road within the imperial city, we arrived at the gate of the Gao family mansion.

A bustling scene unfolded in front of the Gao residence, with numerous horses and carriages parked on the road, ready to depart.

Judging from its size, the leading carriage must belong to Master Gao Yuanshan of the Gao family.

Beside the carriage, his son Gao Cai mounted a fine horse, then waved his hand to order the caravan to set off, as if the whole family were migrating.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun slowly walked forward.

"Greetings, Immortal Master." Gao Cai saw Jiang Yun and immediately ordered the caravan to stop, dismounted, and bowed.

Thirty-two years later, he found that Jiang Yun still looked like he was in his teens or twenties, with an ageless appearance and an awe-inspiring presence.

Considering that Jiang Yun has been frequently missing since he was eight years old, he must have gone off to cultivate immortality.

Then Jiang Yun must be a celestial master.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly, preparing to take her leave of the Gao family.

At this moment, Gao Yuanshan stepped down from the carriage and bowed, saying, "Immortal Master."

Thirty-two years have passed, and Mr. Gao is now over seventy years old.

However, he took a Rejuvenation Pill many years ago, and has been free from illness and disaster throughout his life. He is still in good health now.

"Grandpa Gao, what's going on here?" Jiang Yun asked, puzzled.

"I am getting on in years. In my younger days, I was fortunate enough to be granted the position of Minister of Revenue by the Emperor's grace," Gao Yuanshan said slowly. "Now I am retiring and returning to my hometown in Hedong County."

Jiang Yun glanced at the convoy and realized that they were retiring and returning to their hometown. No wonder there was such a commotion.

He nodded, then suddenly felt a jolt.

"Yu State, Hedong Commandery, Gao Family."

"Could it be—what a coincidence?"

Jiang Yun's heart stirred slightly.

He recalled his first life.

In that life, he had no spiritual roots and was just an ordinary person. Later, he met Gao Fan and they became sworn brothers.

Gao Yuanshan's hometown is actually in Hedong County. Could he be a descendant of Gao Fan?

Over the years, although Jiang Yun knew he was in the Yu Kingdom, he did not believe that this Yu Kingdom was the same as the Yu Kingdom of the first era.

Furthermore, since he devoted all his time and energy to cultivation, he was completely unaware that the Yu Kingdom had a Hedong Prefecture.

Now he had a guess: perhaps the fifth incarnation of the Hundred Generations Book was reincarnated in the kingdom of the first incarnation.

Upon this suspicion, Jiang Yun immediately vanished in a flash.

Gao Yuanshan and Gao Cai were amazed; the immortals truly came and went without a trace.
