"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten years of internal energy…"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine weapon: Seven-Star Abyss Dragon Sword…"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the immortal-grade technique: Five Elements Spiritual Technique…"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one God-Tier Second Profession Card…"
Immortal-grade technique!
Staring at the Five Elements Spiritual Technique rewarded by the system, Jiang Che's breathing grew rapid with excitement.
The Jiuzhou Continent was vast, filled with myths and tales of immortals. Jiang Che had heard many of them.
To use martial arts as a path into the Dao—only those who reached the legendary Heavenly Immortal Realm could be considered to have truly stepped onto the road of immortality. At that level, one could extend their lifespan by 300 years!
Even those at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm remained within mortal limitations if they failed to break through. At best, they could only prolong their life by around 60 years.
The Heavenly Immortal Realm was the first true step toward eternal life!
Now that he had obtained an immortal-grade technique, could immortality really be within his grasp?
"System, what does the God-Tier Second Profession Card do?" Jiang Che asked, doing his best to suppress his excitement.
"The God-Tier Second Profession Card allows the host to elevate any non-combat skill to god-tier level. This includes skills such as brewing, cooking, music, chess, calligraphy, medicine, and more."
"System, I choose medicine."
Without hesitation, Jiang Che selected medical skills. Among all secondary professions, medical expertise was undoubtedly the most practical.
As for music, chess, and calligraphy—those could wait. There would be plenty of time to indulge in such things later.
"Ding! Beginning knowledge infusion…"
As the system's voice rang out, an immense amount of knowledge—covering countless medical theories, practices, and personal insights—flooded into Jiang Che's mind.
"Ah…"
By the time the moon hung high in the night sky, Jiang Che had finally digested all the information. The process had been intense.
Fortunately, he was already a fifth-level Grandmaster. Otherwise, the sheer weight of that knowledge might have driven him insane!
Now, having fully absorbed god-tier medical knowledge, Jiang Che was confident in his decision.
According to the system's classification, even Xin Baicao—the renowned Medical Immortal of Beili—was only at the Grandmaster level. Jiang Che now surpassed him by an entire tier.
It was no exaggeration to say that there was no illness he couldn't cure. Even bringing someone back from the brink of death was within the realm of possibility!
"System, proceed with the infusion of ten years' worth of internal energy."
"Ding! Beginning energy infusion…"
As the infusion began, Jiang Che's cultivation skyrocketed!
Sixth level of Grandmaster.
Seventh level of Grandmaster.
Eighth level of Grandmaster.
Ninth level of Grandmaster.
...
Only when he reached the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm did his cultivation finally stabilize.
Jiang Che took a moment to feel the surge of internal energy flowing through his body and nodded with satisfaction.
Since it had come directly from the system, he experienced no discomfort or instability.
Now that he had reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, the next step would be entering the Half-Step Heavenly Realm.
Once he crossed that threshold, he would truly break into the Heavenly Realm!
Although Grandmasters were widespread throughout Jiuzhou, cultivators who managed to break into the Heavenly Realm were exceedingly rare.
Many geniuses remained trapped at the Grandmaster level for life, unable to advance without an extraordinary stroke of luck or insight.
Breaking through required a deep comprehension of the world.
Since every cultivator's talent, technique, and path differed, so too did their path to the Heavenly Realm.
Some would suddenly attain enlightenment, stepping into the Heavenly Realm in an instant. Others might train for decades with no progress. Some would find their path in battle, comprehending truth through the sword.
"System, begin the infusion of the Five Elements Spiritual Technique."
At midnight, Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes—filled with shock.
Thanks to the system's infusion, he had cultivated the Five Elements Spiritual Technique all the way to perfection!
(Stages: Entry → Minor Accomplishment → Major Accomplishment → Perfection)
Now I understand why the system classified this technique as immortal-grade…
Once he converted all his internal energy into Five Elements Spiritual Energy, even fighting enemies above his level would be easy!
At its highest level, the Five Elements Spiritual Technique would allow one to turn stones into gold, boil seas, summon storms, and breathe life into dead wood!
It even included a variety of powerful spells, such as:
● Earth Escape
● Shrinking the Ground into an Inch
● Limitless Horizons
● Rain Summoning
● Flame Dragon Art
...and many other mystical arts.
This technique was the perfect Daoist immortal method for Jiang Che to cultivate. By continuously converting internal energy into spiritual energy, it resolved the greatest challenge facing immortal cultivators in this world—the scarcity of spiritual energy.
Now, with his cultivation at the ninth level of Grandmaster, Jiang Che could begin this transformation.
Even if he never broke through to the Heavenly Realm, just cultivating this technique would grant him a lifespan of 300 years!
Ordinary cultivators only achieved such longevity after reaching the HeavenlyImmortal Realm, but Jiang Che had already reached that starting point.
If he did break into the Heavenly Realm, his lifespan would increase by another 300 years!
Not only would he gain powerful supernatural abilities, but his life expectancy would continue to increase—until he finally reached true immortality!
Though he was still only a Grandmaster on paper, Jiang Che now possessed the power and means to surpass his peers with ease.
"System, begin the sign-in."
"Ding! Sign-in successful…"
