It was midsummer, and the storm had just stopped.
Pearl-Like water droplets dripped from the lush green leaves.
The small path in the forest suddenly became noisy. A convoy of carriages slowly drove over, breaking the silence.
Dozens of knights in black robes with long sabers at their waists were guarding the carriages. Their temples were bulging, and it was obvious that they were experts in the pugilistic world.
Click!
The carriage wheel in the center suddenly tilted and fell into a puddle, causing the carriage to shake.
Pa!
The carriage seemed to be extremely heavy. The sudden situation caused the horse pulling the carriage to whine.
Not only that, the axle cracked, and the wheel flew out.
The carriage rolled on the ground, causing the 'thing' inside to roll out.
It was a huge iron cage!
And in the iron cage was a brown … giant chrysalis?!
"Not good!"
"Stop!"
"Quickly repair it!"
The carriages in front stopped, and a youth helped an old man with white hair and beard alight from the carriage. They came forward to inspect the carriage.
The old man was called Jiang Yuhe, and he was the imperial censor of Xinwu Country. The youth supporting him was called Jiang Tao, and he was his grandson.
"Is this the chrysalis man?"
It seemed to be Jiang Tao's first time seeing the giant chrysalis, and his eyes lit up. "I've finally seen a real, living Anomaly."
"Master Yi, repair the carriage and let's go quickly. This thing must be delivered to the capital before the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. We can't lose it," Jiang Yuhe said.
"Don't worry, Master!"
A middle-aged swordsman replied with a smile.
His eyebrows were sharp, and his face was resolute. He was' Gale Blade 'Yi Wuji. He was famous in the pugilistic world. His Gale Sand Blade Technique had defeated 18 martial arts experts in a row, and he had even killed several Anomalies. He was famous in Xinwu Country.
Therefore, although he was hired by the imperial censor, Jiang Yuhe, he was more like a guest than a servant.
The other guards went forward to repair the carriage.
The teenager Jiang Tao was outside the iron cage. His eyes lit up and he clicked his tongue. He was unwilling to leave for a long time. "This is the rumored cocoon man in An County! I heard that … when this Anomaly first appeared, it had the appearance of a crazy old man with deep wrinkles. It looked as if it was a hundred years old and crazy … However, after a period of time, it would form a cocoon. This cocoon was extremely hard and could not be damaged by swords, water, or fire. After breaking out of the cocoon, the person in the cocoon would look ten years younger. No matter what injuries it had previously, it would recover completely. However, it would still be crazy … "
"Young Master Jiang is indeed knowledgeable."
Yi Wuji hugged his knife and walked to the side. "I've seen that old man before. He is indeed a madman … But every time he turns into a chrysalis, he can be ten years younger, it is really enviable … Our lives are like the morning dew, fleeting, but he is like a boat sailing against the current, mysterious and mysterious … Because he seems to have the ability to return to his youth, those high ranking officials and nobles all flock to him. In the end, it is our old man who is more skilled … If he is given to the Empress Dowager as a birthday gift, the Empress Dowager will be very happy!"
"Master Yi … I heard that you've killed Anomalies before?"
Jiang Tao asked curiously, "Are they hard to kill?"
"It's hard to say …"
Yi Wuji seemed to think of something and his face twitched. "You also know … Our Xin Wu Country originally only had martial arts, there were no strange supernatural powers … But a few hundred years ago, the world changed and our country actually ascended and merged into the Shushan Celestial Realm. From then on, martial arts became inferior and only immortal cultivation was the right path … However, rumor has it that a peerless demon appeared in the Shushan Celestial Realm and actually broke the reincarnation cycle of this world. From then on, the world was not peaceful and there were many demons and ghosts born. There were also many strange things that were collectively called 'Anomalies'! If we really meet flesh and blood, then there is nothing to say. With true qi and swords, we can definitely fight … But for those real demons and ghosts, I'm afraid that cultivators will have to take action. "
Although the Xin Wu Country merged into the Shushan Celestial Realm, the Celestial Realm was too big and the Xin Wu Country was too small. There was not much interaction.
Even if there were some immortal cultivation techniques that were passed down, they were only at the top.
To the young Jiang Tao, cultivators were still a legend.
"Actually, I know that young master has always wanted to learn martial arts from me, but old master has already considered everything. This time, he risked his reputation to offer the chrysalis so that young master can have a path to immortality."
Speaking of this, even Yi Wuji couldn't help but be envious.
How could practicing martial arts compare to cultivating on a sword and living a long and carefree life?
"Actually … I once heard Great Master Tan Xuan of the Rushi Temple preach. He said that there are 108,000 small chiliocosms, 7,200 medium chiliocosms, and 36 large chiliocosms … Our Xin Wu Country was originally a small chiliocosm, while the Shushan Celestial Realm was a medium chiliocosm. Because they are of the same origin, we were able to ascend and merge when the world changed … Dao, skills, and martial arts are quite similar. For example … the Rushi Temple's' Dragon-Tiger Unbreakable Supernatural Power 'and the Qingyuan Palace's' Imperial Sword Technique 'both have some forms of spells. It is not impossible to cultivate magic!"
Jiang Tao answered.
"Although this is the case, fumbling on one's own can't compare to inheritance."
Yi Wuji sneered. "The Rushi Temple is also raising its own value … Ever since White Tiger Deity, this sect has been on the decline …"
"I heard that before the Xin Wu Country was unified, various countries were at war. The heroes of Jianghu dominated the world, and the Supreme of Jianghu, White Tiger Deity, was a hero throughout the ages. Unfortunately, the wind and rain always blew him away … No matter how heroic he was, his lifespan would be exhausted, and he would still turn to dust … Now that the opportunity is in my hands, how can I not seize it?" Jiang Tao said, "I've decided, I want to cultivate!"
"Yes, young master, you've made a wise decision. Everything the old master has done is for your own good." Yi Wuji nodded in relief.
This world was not peaceful, and strange things happened frequently. If he could cultivate on a sword, he might be able to ensure peace.
At this moment, they saw something happen to the chrysalis in the iron cage.
A pair of white and delicate arms suddenly pierced through the cocoon and tore it apart. A youth who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old appeared.
"Chrysalis … chrysalis! He broke out of the cocoon again. "
Jiang Tao was stunned. Wasn't it supposed to be an old man? Why was it a jade-like youth?
"He formed the chrysalis nine times and became ninety years younger. That's about it …"
Although Yi Wuji was shocked, he was still calm. "Don't be afraid, he's just an ordinary person … He won't be able to break this iron cage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tao saw the youth stretch out his white and delicate hand without a single pore. He grabbed the iron cage and pulled it apart.
The cage, which was said to be made of refined steel, instantly let out a cry of despair as a large hole was torn open.
"Have I been crazy for ninety years?"
Fang Xian looked at the sun in the sky and squinted.
He had regained his senses a moment ago, so he could hear some of their conversation.
He could actually understand this language!
Then, key words such as Rushi Temple and White Tiger Deity attracted his attention.
"This is … the ancient martial world that I've experienced. I'm back?"
"No … Wasn't I breaking through to level seven necromancer?"
He pressed his forehead and felt a sharp pain in his head. He seemed to be going crazy again.
