Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

30: Chapter 30: The Heaven-Burning Cauldron of Blazing Fire – Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage!【Effect of trait ”Immortal Lord Fuzhe - Red” triggered, you have obtained Spirit Realm Low Grade Magic Treasure: Azure Nether Cold Light Sword】

【Azure Nether Cold Light Sword: Refined from Spirit Realm cold crystal, the blade is peerlessly sharp and contains hidden cold energy. It can spontaneously release freezing energy to slow down opponents during combat. (Friendly reminder: Magic Treasures are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade)】

Gu Yan moved his mind, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

The sword was about three feet three inches long, like a solidified streak of azure nether cold light.

In terms of appearance, it was several times cooler than the Shadow Flow Sword that Lin Wei had gifted him years ago.

The most crucial point was that this was a Magic Treasure. Although it was only Low Grade, it had completely transcended the category of ordinary iron weapons.

”Spirit Realm...” Gu Yan frowned slightly.

In this trait description, an explicit prefix for another Realm had appeared for the first time.

”Since this martial arts world has Spiritual Qi, and ancient books occasionally record ancient Yao Beasts... Could it be that in corners unknown to me, there exist cultivators?”

Although he could not verify it, various nested world tropes he had seen in his past life flooded his mind.

Just as there are worlds beyond worlds, this world might only be a remote corner.

This thought made Gu Yan’s heart shiver.

”It seems that I must be more cautious in my actions from now on and not be too high-profile. Otherwise, I might attract unnecessary secret prying, and that would not be fun.”

Another year passed.

【Effect of trait ”Immortal Lord Fuzhe - Red” triggered, you have obtained Spirit Realm High Grade storage Magic Treasure: Sumeru Star Ring】

【Sumeru Star Ring: Contains a hundred-zhang space, can store inanimate objects with a thought, comes with basic refining techniques, and can be bound by a drop of blood or by injecting Spiritual Qi.】

Gu Yan refined it according to the method and probed with his Divine Sense, seeing only a stable, gray, misty space, incomparably vast.

He casually moved the Azure Nether Cold Light Sword into it and retrieved it with a thought, as easily as moving his own arm.

He thought to himself that from now on, he wouldn’t have to stuff everything into his clothes or hide things under the bed.

Thus, another eight years passed.

Gu Yan obtained a treasure through the trait every year.

Most of them were not worth mentioning; the most precious one was a defensive Top Grade Magic Treasure obtained in the fifth year: the departure fire burning heaven cauldron.

【departure fire burning heaven cauldron: Top Grade Magic Treasure, refined primarily from Spirit Realm core departure fire crystal, fused with various fire-attribute precious materials.】

This cauldron was entirely crimson, with three legs and two ears.

Gu Yan had played with it for a long time back then, unable to put it down.

With this cauldron in hand, his offensive and defensive capabilities would be qualitatively improved.

On this day, Gu Yan felt that the liquid Spiritual Qi in his Dantian had been compressed and solidified to the extreme, faintly showing signs of solidifying into crystals.

He knew the opportunity for a Breakthrough had arrived.

He rose to his feet and went to find the Xuan Chenzi, Xuan Chenzi.

”Xuan Chenzi, I need a place that is absolutely quiet and undisturbed to go into seclusion for a period of time.”

Although Xuan Chenzi did not know exactly what Gu Yan wanted to do, remembering the past mystery and generous gifts of this Longevity Daoist, he immediately agreed solemnly:

”Elder Gu, rest assured. Behind Danxia Peak, there is an Immortal Cave suspended in the air. It was a place where the founding Ancestral Master once briefly cultivated in seclusion. It is a secluded location, and ordinary Disciples can hardly approach it. I will arrange it immediately and personally set up a perimeter guard to ensure no one disturbs you.”

”I appreciate your trouble, Xuan Chenzi.” Gu Yan nodded.

A moment later, Gu Yan was already in a natural Immortal Cave halfway up the cliff behind Danxia Peak.

The entrance to this place was hidden, and the interior had its own unique features. In front was a bottomless abyss shrouded in clouds and mist.

Behind was thick, solid mountain rock. More importantly, this place was sufficiently spacious.
