Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 107 Sixty Years in the Snap

In this lifetime, I cultivate myself in the mortal realm.

Although he had raised his cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage thanks to the blessings and talents of his previous life, Jiang Yun actually had nothing.

They had never even seen a spirit stone, making them poorer than cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

Having killed He Xiong today, I can say I've gained some wealth.

Most importantly, it has a storage bag so you can carry more things with you.

Jiang Yun held an unidentified piece of iron in one hand and a storage bag in the other.

This storage bag is of the second tier and is subject to a divine sense restriction.

To open it, the original owner's spiritual imprint must be erased.

He Xiong's spiritual strength before his death was far inferior to Jiang Yun's.

Therefore, Jiang Yun easily erased the divine imprint on the storage bag.

After erasing the mark, Jiang Yun scanned the contents of the storage bag with his divine sense.

"Six thousand spirit stones, two first-grade high-quality flying swords, two beast finger bone magic treasures, and nothing else."

Jiang Yun shook his head and put the piece of iron into his storage bag.

The material of this iron sheet is unknown, but it has been refined into a magical artifact by successive leaders of the Broken Sword Sect.

Using this magical artifact can grant one the power of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Jiang Yun put the iron piece into his storage bag, lowered his head, and glanced coldly at He Xiong's corpse.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a burst of Foundation Establishment True Fire shot out, burning He Xiong's corpse to ashes.

Jiang Yun guessed that his biological parents in this life were most likely killed by He Xiong, and now he could be considered to have avenged his great enemy.

After doing all this, he couldn't help but lower his head and ponder.

"The cultivation world of Yu Kingdom is ultimately just a small place; I'm afraid there's no chance of forming a core there."

"Next, I will raise my cultivation to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and then cross the Xiyu Mountains to go to the Zhou Kingdom to plan for Core Formation."

"The Broken Sword Sect is located on a mid-grade first-level spiritual vein, so why not recover your cultivation here?"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun was about to open his mouth and say something to Cai Hong.

But then he suddenly remembered something.

Restoring one's cultivation level to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment is certainly important.

However, the cultivation of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation and the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique is equally important.

Now that He Xiong has been killed, the entire Broken Sword Sect will be under Jiang Yun's control.

Jiang Yun plans to use the resources of the Broken Sword Sect to cultivate the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation and the body-refining technique, Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique.

"The Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation has eighteen levels. Each level that is successfully cultivated will allow you to deploy twenty more flying swords."

"Upon reaching the eighteenth level of cultivation, one can deploy 360 flying swords. The higher the grade of the flying swords, the greater the power of the sword formation."

"However, controlling so many flying swords at the same time requires an extremely high level of spiritual strength."

Standing still, Jiang Yun recalled the cultivation requirements of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation.

Once you reach the first level of cultivation, twenty flying swords are not enough to set up the formation; you need thirty-six flying swords.

Therefore, one must cultivate to the second level to be able to set up the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation.

"To cultivate the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation, you need at least thirty-six flying swords."

"Prepare thirty-six low-grade first-tier flying swords first."

A low-grade first-tier flying sword is commonly used by cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining, and each one costs around two hundred spirit stones.

If a disciple of an ordinary sect receives a monthly stipend of two spirit stones, it would take eight years to buy a low-grade first-tier flying sword.

Jiang Yun needs to prepare thirty-six weapons, which requires seven thousand two hundred spirit stones.

"Cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Technique, which tempers the physical body like a magical treasure, also requires a large amount of spirit stones."

"However, the requirements for body-tempering herbs and treasures for the first level of cultivation are not high, so it should be possible to complete it."

With this in mind, Jiang Yun had roughly figured out his next cultivation plan.

They plundered all the cultivation resources of the Broken Sword Sect to acquire flying swords and body-tempering treasures.

Then, while restoring his cultivation, he practiced techniques such as the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation, the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique, and the Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun turned around and walked towards the main hall of the Broken Sword Sect, beginning to plunder spirit stones and treasures.

The Broken Sword Sect is just a small sect with only three mountain peaks.

Jiang Yun searched the sect's main hall but found no treasures.

They did discover many mortal women.

These women were likely brought to the sect by He Xiong through coercion and enticement for his pleasure.

Perhaps because the cultivation world in Yu Kingdom is not large, its female cultivators all come from two other sects and the cultivation family Shi family.

He Xiong dared not offend these sects, so he had no choice but to go to the mortal world to find beautiful women.

"Let's go down the mountain."

Jiang Yun frowned and dismissed all the women.

Then he flashed and flew to another mountain peak.

There are several low-grade spiritual fields on this mountain, where some spiritual rice and herbs are grown.

"How can a sect with a thousand-year history be so poor?"

Jiang Yun shook his head and flew to the last mountain peak.

There is a cave in this mountain.

A small spirit-gathering array was set up outside the cave, where the spiritual energy was denser than outside, presumably the place where He Xiong secluded himself for cultivation.

Jiang Yun broke into the cave and found another storage bag inside.

After erasing the divine sense imprint on the storage bag, they discovered that it contained two thousand spirit stones and an ancient book.

"The Broken Sword Technique, a low-level foundation-building skill."

Jiang Yun didn't take this technique seriously and casually tossed it back into his storage bag.

"Adding these two thousand spirit stones, the total is eight thousand spirit stones."

"That's enough to acquire thirty-six low-grade first-tier flying swords."

"Master the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation first. As for the grade of the flying sword, we can improve it slowly later."

Jiang Yun began to observe the cave, looking for any secret chambers.

After discovering there was no secret room, they flew back to the main hall of the mountain gate.

After his feet touched the ground, he waved his hand, and several beams of starlight entered Cai Hong's body.

This rendered Cai Hong's martial arts almost completely ineffective, leaving him like a helpless mortal.

"Go to the market and give me directions."

Jiang Yun picked up Cai Hong and leaped into the air.

"Senior, fly lower, lower still!"

Cai Hong shouted as he pointed out the direction to Jiang Yun.

According to Cai Hong, Jiang Yun learned that there was only one market town in the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom.

This market town was built a hundred years ago by the Broken Sword Sect, Little Mianshan, Golden Peak Sect, and the Shi family, a family of cultivators.

However, the Broken Sword Sect gradually declined and could not compare with the other three forces.

Furthermore, things became even more absurd after He Xiong became the sect leader.

Gradually, the interests of the Broken Sword Sect in the market were completely divided up by the other three families.

The next day, Jiang Yun arrived at the market.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he chose to disguise himself and enter.

After all, He Xiong was killed yesterday, and some people may already know about it.

In the market, Jiang Yun did not wander around; instead, he began to purchase flying swords and some low-grade body-tempering herbs.

After acquiring these items, almost all of their spirit stones were spent.

After that, he went to Hedong County.

After secretly observing the situation and finding that the Gao family was safe and sound and no one dared to make a move, he took Cai Hongfei back to the Broken Sword Sect.

Upon returning to the Broken Sword Sect, Jiang Yun lifted the restrictions on Cai Hong and addressed the dozens of disciples of the Broken Sword Sect, saying, "You may stay if you wish, or leave if you wish, but please do not disturb my cultivation in the back mountain."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Broken Sword Sect breathed a sigh of relief, and their previous worries completely disappeared.

Some of them left the Broken Sword Sect, while others stayed to cultivate here.

Cai Hong's eyes darted around, and he decided to stay there.

After that, Jiang Yun lived a secluded life in the Broken Sword Sect, focusing on cultivation.

Twenty years passed quickly.

On this day, on the mountain where the Broken Sword Sect grows spirit rice.

Jiang Yun made a hand seal with one hand and looked up at the thirty-six flying swords in the sky.

These thirty-six flying swords, all radiating starlight, hovered in the air, forming a sword formation ten zhang in size.

"The Celestial Star Sword Formation, the Milky Way Falls from the Sky!"

Jiang Yun changed his hand seals and muttered a soft incantation.

Thirty-six flying swords suddenly converged, forming a silver river-like formation, and rushed towards the mountaintop.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, rocks flew everywhere.

The Milky Way formed by the convergence of sword formations directly shaved off half of the mountain.

"After twenty years, I've cultivated the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation to the second level, which can be considered a minor success!"

"If the flying sword were of a higher grade, this small hill would cease to exist."

Regarding the power of this sword formation.

Jiang Yun was extremely satisfied.

Even since he started practicing the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Yin technique.

He then sensed that this technique was not simple.

It can absorb the power of stars, and it also contains a powerful sword formation.

Jiang Yun didn't believe it was just a slightly more advanced foundation-building technique.

"Cultivation techniques exchanged in the Divine and Mysterious Immortal Cultivation World."

"Have I stumbled upon a treasure?"

Jiang Yun began to ponder.

In the mystical world of cultivation, there are wondrous methods for obtaining the Golden Elixir of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, as well as the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Elixir-Shattering Technique.

Perhaps this Zhou Tian Xing Chen Yin (a system for guiding the stars) is also quite powerful.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun noticed someone approaching.

"receive!"

He immediately put away the thirty-six flying swords, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that Cai Hong had come to investigate on a flying magical artifact.

The test of the sword formation just now caused too much noise, which may have alerted him.

"Greetings, senior."

When Cai Hong arrived here, he saw the barren mountain and realized that Jiang Yun was right there.

They immediately realized that the commotion was caused by Jiang Yun's cultivation here.

He was filled with horror.

Twenty years have passed, and this senior's cultivation has become even more unfathomable.

Judging from his magical power, even the late Foundation Establishment stage ancestor of the Shi family might not be his match.

Jiang Yun waved his hand, signaling Cai Hong to step down.

Cai Hong bowed respectfully and left obediently.

The mountain peak fell silent, with only the lingering sword energy remaining.

Jiang Yun began to consider it carefully.

Now that the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation has been cultivated to the second level, it can be used.

So next, the Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique and the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique also need to catch up.

"It would be best to cultivate the Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique to the second level before recovering to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment."

"At that time, the strength of my spiritual sense might be comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator."

"I must also seize the time to cultivate the body-refining method, the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique."

Over the past twenty years, with the help of his past life's blessings and talents, Jiang Yun's cultivation has steadily progressed.

In a few more years, I will be able to successfully break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Now that the sword formation has been mastered to a minor level, the power of spiritual sense also needs to be improved.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to control a higher-grade flying sword later.

Low-grade flying swords cannot unleash the full power of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation.

Therefore, the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique needs to be put on the training schedule.

In addition, there are the Golden Bone Refining Technique and the Crimson Cloud Slash that need to be practiced.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun rested for a few days before returning to his cave to begin his cultivation.

Five years later, Jiang Yun turned fifty-seven and successfully broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, he also completed the first level of the body-refining method, the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique.

During this period, Jiang Yun's strength improved by leaps and bounds.

With his current cultivation level, he is capable of sweeping through the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, and no one is his match.

However, he did not leave the Broken Sword Sect, and was determined to raise his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment before leaving the mountain.

"Focus on your cultivation. With the blessings and talent from your past life, reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment is only a matter of time."

"Once you reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, you won't be able to enjoy this speed of cultivation unless you encounter other opportunities."

Having broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Jiang Yun continued his cultivation in peace.

Thus, thirty-five years later.

Sixty years have passed since Jiang Yun began cultivating at the Broken Sword Sect.

That year, Jiang Yun was ninety-two years old.

"After ninety-two years, I have finally recovered to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Next, I should plan to form my Core."

Behind the Broken Sword Sect, Jiang Yun opened his eyes and gazed into the distance.

His cultivation has advanced to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and he needs to plan for Core Formation.

Over the past ninety years, his achievements have been enormous.

The Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation has been partially completed, the Bi Hai Chong Yuan Shield has been partially completed, the Chao Yuan Chi Xia Slash has been partially completed, the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique has reached its second level, and the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique has reached its first level.

Jiang Yun felt that with his current Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation, he might be able to reverse the process and form the Core.

He then shook his head and began to examine the strength of his spiritual sense.

"Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation, Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique Level 2, I wonder to what extent your divine sense has grown?"
