Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

The opening of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

The Qingyang Sect became even more lively.

Within the secret realm, Foundation Establishment cultivators are fighting to the death for opportunities, making it even more lively.

However, at Qixia Lake, everything is peaceful and serene.

The cultivators from the three major cultivation families all obeyed their ancestor's orders before leaving, and no major conflicts occurred.

Of course, minor, unnoticed conflicts still occur frequently.

Since that day, the three Foundation Establishment ancestors of the Chen, Song, and Jiang families have ascended to heaven on clouds.

Jiang Yun then began to devote himself to cultivation, without any distractions.

Ten years as one day.

His cultivation level has already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he is now striving towards the ninth level.

Spring of the eleventh year.

Tragic news came from the clan.

Jiang Fuying, the eldest son of the Jiang family, passed away at the age of 114.

The entire nation mourns.

The following year, Jiang Fuyuan, the eldest son of the Jiang family, passed away at the age of 112.

The entire clan mourned, wearing mourning clothes.

When the burial took place, all the Jiang clan members from Qixia Lake went to attend the funeral.

Jiang Yun was no exception.

In the funeral procession, Jiang Yun saw on the other side that there was also a funeral procession for the Chen family.

Clearly, an important elder of the Chen family had also passed away, and both families chose to hold their funerals on the same day.

these years.

The heads and elders of the three major families, Chen, Song, and Jiang, passed away one after another.

After the funeral, the Jiang family began to elect a new clan leader.

Jiang Fuyuan had two sons, the eldest son Jiang Yitao and the second son Jiang Yiping.

After much discussion among the elders, the eldest son, Jiang Yitao, was ultimately appointed as the clan leader.

Two years later, Jiang Fuzhou, the second son of the Jiang family, passed away.

Another year passed, and Jiang Fuzhu, the illegitimate son of the Jiang family, passed away peacefully in his sleep.

At this point, all four sons of Jiang Shun, the foundation-building ancestor of the Jiang family, had perished.

Jiang Fuzhu was born out of wedlock.

The funeral held after his death was naturally not of a high standard.

Jiang Yun is a descendant of Jiang Fuzhu.

On this day, Jiang Yiming, Jiang Anbai, Jiang Lin, Meng Yu, Jiang Yun, and others gathered at the mourning hall.

The Jiang family was born out of wedlock.

Jiang Fuzhu gave birth to Jiang Yiming, who had a son and a daughter.

Son Jiang Anbai, daughter Jiang Lin.

Meng Yu married into the Jiang family and had a son, Jiang Yun, with Jiang Lin.

Among these people, Jiang Yun has the best aptitude and the highest cultivation level.

In terms of cultivation, Jiang Yun's status in the family has surpassed that of his grandfather, Jiang Yiming.

In the mourning hall, Jiang Yiming asked sadly:

"Jiang Yun, do you know why no one in my Jiang family has achieved Foundation Establishment in recent years?"

Jiang Yun shook her head.

Apart from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor Jiang Shun, no other member of the Jiang family has achieved Foundation Establishment.

Not only the Jiang family, but also the Chen and Song families were like this.

"Alas," Jiang Yiming sighed, "The Jiang family's foundation is too shallow; they can't even produce a single Foundation Establishment Pill."

"It's not just my Jiang family, the Chen family and the Song family are the same."

"With the opening of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, the three Foundation Establishment ancestors joined forces to venture into the secret realm in order to compete for opportunities and treasures, and exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills at the Qing Yang Sect, hoping to produce a second Foundation Establishment cultivator in their family."

"Otherwise, with the passing of our ancestor, the Jiang family will have no successor. Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator to oversee the family, it will slowly perish."

Jiang Yiming spoke at length.

Jiang Yun remained silent, but sighed inwardly.

Unless one possesses the cultivation aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root or a dual Spiritual Root, Foundation Establishment will be easily attained.

For those with other spiritual root aptitudes, the probability of successfully establishing a foundation is extremely low without Foundation Establishment Pills or other foundation establishment spiritual items.

This also explains why no one from the Jiang, Song, or Chen families has reached the Foundation Establishment stage in recent years.

Jiang Yun said in a low voice, "I hope that Ancestor can obtain opportunities and treasures in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm and bring back Foundation Establishment Pills."

Until today.

Fourteen years have passed since the Jiang family patriarch entered the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

The Xuan Yang Secret Realm has been open for twenty years, and we will know the outcome in six more years.

Jiang Yun hoped that the ancestor would return safely and bring back the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He predicted that he would be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before the age of fifty.

If the ancestor brings back the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Will this Foundation Establishment Pill end up in his hands?

"I hope so."

Jiang Yiming sighed and kept vigil for his father, Jiang Fuzhu.

……

Seven days later.

Jiang Fuzhu was buried.

The following day, clan chief Jiang Yitao summoned Jiang Yun.

"Greetings, Clan Chief," Jiang Yun said, bowing respectfully.

"Jiang Yun, your great-grandfather Jiang Fuzhu served as an elder of the Chuan Gong Pavilion before his death."

Jiang Yitao cut to the chase and ordered, "From now on, you will serve as the elder of the Transmission Pavilion."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Yun nodded in acceptance.

With his current cultivation level, he is perfectly capable of becoming an elder.

However, the position of Transmission Elder is a sinecure with no real power.

"This is the token of the Transmission Elder." Jiang Yitao handed Jiang Yun a jade token. "Take this token to the Internal Affairs Elder to register, and you can take up your post directly."

"OK."

Jiang Yun accepted the token and went to see the Elder of Internal Affairs.

The original head of the internal affairs was Jiang Fuying, the eldest son of the Jiang family.

After Jiang Fuying's death, Jiang Yiping, the younger brother of the current clan chief, took over as the elder of internal affairs.

Family power remains in the hands of the eldest son.

"Elder, the clan leader has appointed me as the Transmission Elder and asked me to come here to register."

Jiang Yun arrived at the Imperial Household Department, took out the Transmission Elder's Token, and handed it to Jiang Yiping for inspection.

Jiang Yiping was also an old acquaintance of Jiang Yun.

Back in the Xiyu Mountains, Jiang Yiping was in charge of the camp's internal affairs, responsible for the distribution of salaries and the management of income from spiritual fields and herbs.

Now serving as the family's internal affairs elder, it can be considered that he has specialized in a particular field.

"Jiang Yun is hereby appointed as the Transmission Elder, and will receive a monthly stipend of five spirit stones and ten catties of spirit rice."

Jiang Yiping took the token, examined it, and then returned it to Jiang Yun.

After that, they registered and recorded the information, reading it aloud as they wrote it down.

Jiang Yun remained silent.

This is probably the elder with the lowest salary.

Five low-grade spirit stones and ten catties of spirit rice per month.

What can you do with such a small salary?

It would take ten years of not eating or drinking to barely accumulate enough to acquire a high-grade magic artifact, and even then, it would be a worthless, unwanted artifact.

And so, from this day forward, Jiang Yun will serve as the Elder of Transmission.

He only found out after he became the Elder of Transmission.

It turns out that the Jiang family's core cultivation techniques only consist of three types—

The Golden Wood Green Origin Technique, the Cold Profound Refining Qi Technique, and the Separating Fire Earth Origin Technique.

These three core cultivation techniques can all support cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and the attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

If one successfully establishes their foundation, then the patriarch of the Jiang family will personally impart the methods of foundation-building cultivation.

Aside from the core cultivation techniques, there are numerous spells for the Qi Refining stage.

As the elder in charge of transmitting skills, Jiang Yun's responsibility is to impart suitable cultivation methods and spells based on the spiritual root attributes of the clan members.

Time flies like an arrow.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Twenty years have passed since the Xuan Yang Secret Realm opened.

The Xuan Yang Secret Realm remained open for twenty years before closing.

If the three Foundation Establishment ancestors of the Song, Chen, and Jiang families are still alive, then they should be able to return to their families in a few days.

Whether or not the Foundation Establishment Pill can be brought back is unknown.

The twenty-year deadline is approaching.

The members of the Song, Chen, and Jiang families all eagerly awaited the return of their ancestor.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This year.

Jiang Yun is forty-seven years old and has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining cultivation.

In the cultivation chamber, he sat cross-legged, and after exhaling and inhaling the breath of a spirit stone, he examined his entire body internally.

"At this rate, I should be able to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in at most two years."
