I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World
Chapter 86 ·Self Body, Dragon Lord! The Return of the Three Qi!
【Congratulations to the host for attaining enlightenment by questioning the Dao within the heart, comprehending the supreme Dao heart 《Endless Dao Path》, reward: +1 entry draw opportunity】
Gu Yan felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Endless Dao Path?
He quickly calmed his mind and carefully sensed just what was extraordinary about this newly obtained Dao heart.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, a trace of realization flashing within them.
This Endless Dao Path, to put it simply, was an endless passive buff.
Ordinary cultivators, upon reaching a certain realm, would either hit a bottleneck and be stuck, or exhaust their potential and find it difficult to advance even an inch further.
Even those peerless geniuses, upon reaching the level of an Immortal Emperor, would mostly fall into the predicament of having no road ahead.
The road had ended—what remained was only standing still.
But this Endless Dao Path was different.
It allowed Gu Yan to always remain in a state where he could still take another step forward.
Even if one day he truly cultivated to the Immortal Emperor realm, even if there were truly no higher realms left in this world, he could still continue to grow stronger.
If there was no realm, then he would carve out a realm himself.
If there was no path ahead, then he would open a path himself.
What did this mean?
It meant that while others were sprinting on a track with a finish line, stopping once they reached the end—
The road beneath his feet would continue extending forward with every step he took, never ending.
It was like others playing a game with a level cap, while he had none.
Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
This thing… was top-tier.
In the future, even lying down and sleeping, he could theoretically grow stronger bit by bit.
Though the speed would certainly not compare to active cultivation, it excelled in steady accumulation over time.
After comprehending the Dao heart, he looked at the other notification.
+1 entry draw opportunity.
The system was quite generous.
Gu Yan had no intention of waiting for an auspicious time. With a single thought—
Draw.
In the void before him, a massive roulette wheel slowly appeared.
On the wheel, seven colored sections—gray, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, and red—were arranged in sequence, their lights flowing.
The pointer began to spin.
Gu Yan watched calmly.
Gray, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, red—seven colors, seven qualities.
Red was the best, gold second, orange next, and purple was mid-tier.
With his current accumulation, he was no longer overly obsessed with entries.
Of course, red or gold would be best, but if not, it didn’t matter.
After all, he already had plenty of good things.
The pointer spun faster and faster, then gradually slowed.
Past gray.
Past green.
Past blue.
It moved forward just a little more.
Purple.
【Draw successful】
【You have obtained entry: 《Dragonman True Body · Purple》】
【《Dragonman True Body · Purple》: Allows transformation into a pure Dragonman form possessing true dragon blood. Physical body strength is greatly enhanced; physical defense, strength, and recovery speed are all comprehensively improved.
Additionally grants divine ability 《Return of the Three Qi》. When in a near-death state, one can draw upon the Qi of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity into the body, instantly restoring all conditions to their peak.
After each use of this divine ability, one will be detested by the Qi of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. During the next tribulation crossing, the power of the heavenly tribulation will greatly increase based on usage count, and karmic burden will intensify, with heavier cause and effect.】
After reading it, Gu Yan nodded slightly.
The effects of this purple entry were quite decent.
Dragonman form, greatly enhancing physical strength.
This thing could serve as a meat shield at critical moments.
As for that Return of the Three Qi…
Instant full recovery from near death—this move was ruthless.
Though the side effects were also significant.
Each use would cause the power of the heavenly tribulation to skyrocket, and one would bear a large amount of karmic burden.
For other cultivators, this divine ability was a double-edged sword—using it once was like planting a mine for oneself.
But Gu Yan was different.
He had two entries that concealed heavenly secrets.
The heavenly tribulation couldn’t find him, and karmic cause and effect wouldn’t fall upon him either.
To him, these side effects were essentially nonexistent.
Equivalent to getting a free revival armor.
The corner of Gu Yan’s lips curved slightly.
Not bad.
Really not bad.
He exited the dream and returned to the cave dwelling.
Sitting cross-legged, he pondered for a moment.
Then, with a thought—
A divine ability was activated.
A figure identical to him slowly stepped out from his body.
External Incarnation, Self Body.
This divine ability that Gu Yan had obtained from 《Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red》 possessed three major incarnations.
The Evil Body, Nether Soul, was now in the Spirit Realm’s Azure Wave Sect as its Sect Master.
The Good Body, Fang Yuan, remained in the mortal world alongside the original body, managing the world.
Now, all mortal citizens had built ancestral shrines for him, and the name Great Love Immortal Venerable was known throughout the land.
Only this last one remained—the Self Body—which had long been idle.
Today, it would finally be used.
Gu Yan looked at the figure before him and said, “From today onward, you shall be called—Dragon Lord.”
The Self Body nodded slightly, its expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
Gu Yan’s mind stirred again.
The effect of the newly obtained 《Dragonman True Body · Purple》 activated.
A beam of purple light descended from the void, enveloping the Self Body.
Within the light, his form began to change.
On both sides of his forehead, a pair of dragon horns slowly emerged, dark gold in color.
His black hair turned deep purple, cascading behind his shoulders like a waterfall.
On his cheeks, neck, and the backs of his hands, fine dragon scales appeared.
The scales were deep purple, with faint golden edges, each one exuding a chilling majesty.
His figure grew three inches taller, and his temperament changed abruptly.
From gentle and refined, to sharp and domineering.
Gu Yan nodded inwardly as he observed.
This appearance—quite handsome.
With imposing dragon horns, flowing purple hair, and a body covered in dragon scales, his entire being radiated an aura of “don’t provoke me.”
The reason he named this Self Body Dragon Lord was simple.
The Evil Body was called Nether Soul, the Good Body was called Fang Yuan.
Now that this Self Body had taken on a Dragonman form, it naturally needed a matching name.
Dragon Lord.
Smooth to say, easy to remember, and carried presence.
“Go,” Gu Yan said.
“Head to the Spirit Realm and gather heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance spiritual energy for me.”
“No matter the grade, the more the better.”
“Spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, spiritual springs, spiritual veins—anything that can increase the concentration of spiritual energy, find a way to obtain it.”
Dragon Lord nodded slightly. “Understood.”
As his voice fell, his figure leapt.
A streak of purple light shot into the sky, instantly transforming into a purple true dragon, scales and claws dancing, a low dragon roar echoing.
The next moment, the purple dragon tore through the air and vanished at the horizon.
Gu Yan withdrew his gaze.
The spiritual energy concentration of the Taiyi Dao Sect where he currently resided was already not low.
Over the years, 《Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red》 had continuously provided many good things.
Spirit-gathering formations, spiritual veins, spiritual springs, and that Illusory Dao Seed of Chaos Planting a Green Lotus, producing large amounts of innate spiritual energy daily.
But… it was still not enough.
The cultivation speed at the Great Ascension Realm was far slower than at the Void Refinement Realm.
If he didn’t want to watch his cultivation speed slow down, he had to continue stacking resources.
More spiritual veins, more spiritual springs, more heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
As for why he didn’t send Nether Soul—
Firstly, Nether Soul had to oversee the Azure Wave Sect.
Secondly, gathering materials would inevitably cause conflicts.
Nether Soul’s identity was the Sect Master of Azure Wave Sect; his every move represented the sect, making it inconvenient to act too aggressively.
Dragon Lord, however, was different.
Newly arrived, with no attachments, and in a Dragonman form—it was only natural for him to act more domineering.
Even if trouble arose, it would be Dragon Lord’s doing—what did it have to do with Gu Yan?
Moreover, he also planned for Dragon Lord to establish a force.
Since the Immortal Realm had an Immortal Court, then in the Spirit Realm… how about creating a Heavenly Court?
Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts and closed his eyes.
Cultivate.
Reach the Immortal Emperor realm as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, halfway up Longevity Peak—
A massive figure coiled at the edge of a cliff, exhaling and inhaling clouds.
It was the true dragon, A Lan.
His current cultivation had reached the Transformation Spirit Realm of human cultivators.
Of course, with a true dragon’s body, his actual combat strength was far beyond that of ordinary Transformation Spirit cultivators.
Just moments ago, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A trace of dragon might had emanated from the cave dwelling atop the mountain.
Though it vanished in an instant, it caused all of A Lan’s scales to stand on end.
That dragon might…
So domineering.
So terrifying.
A Lan swallowed.
It seemed to have come from his master’s cave dwelling?
He shrank his neck, not daring to think further, and closed his eyes again, continuing to breathe in and out clouds.
Better not pry into the master’s affairs.
