High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan withdrew his divine sense, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

His goal was not to join the Sky-Piercing Sword Sect.

Instead, they wanted to find Chen Tianling.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the soul bond between himself and Chen Tianling.

The invisible thread was still there, but it was much clearer than it had been in the Cangxuan Realm.

The distance has decreased.

This means that the direction he was looking for was correct.

But it's not close enough.

Chen Tianling was not on the Jade Purity Continent, at least not within the precise sensing range bound to his soul.

"Not here..."

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

The upper realm was much larger than he had imagined.

Chen Tianling may be somewhere else.

However, at least one thing is certain: the soul bond is now clear, indicating that their distance is indeed closing.

Next, we just wait.

Waiting for the check-in count to refresh again, waiting to figure out the details of this star field, waiting to find Chen Tianling's exact location.

Chen Yuan snapped out of his thoughts.

Out of caution, he did not use his divine sense to explore the cave of that sect patriarch.

That Immortal Lord of the Void was a powerful expert at the pinnacle of the realm, and he was at the same level as him as a True God.

Although the "All Things Return to Nothingness" technique is exquisite, it may not be foolproof in the face of a strong opponent of the same level.

If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Better safe than sorry."

Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

Just then.

His divine sense suddenly detected a presence.

Someone is approaching his cave.

The intensity of that aura was around the late stage of Martial God, which is the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

He's even stronger than that Elder Luo.

Chen Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He focused his divine sense on the past and saw the appearance of the person who had come.

He was a man who looked very young.

He was dressed in a dark blue elder's robe, with a token representing his status as a core elder hanging from his waist.

He looked to be only in his thirties.

But those eyes revealed a calm composure that comes with the passage of time.

The newcomer stopped outside the array barrier in front of Chen Yuan's cave.

He raised his hand and gently tapped the barrier.

"Are the newly ascended beings from the Cangxuan Realm inside?"

His voice was calm and unhurried, with a gentle tone.

Chen Yuan's mind raced.

Judging from the token on his waist, this person is a core elder of the Sky-Piercing Sword Sect.

He had just ascended to heaven and couldn't have offended the other party. What did the other party want from him?

Chen Yuan stood up warily and walked to the entrance of the cave.

He raised his hand and removed the array's restrictions.

"I was unaware of your arrival, Elder, and have failed to greet you properly."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, his face displaying just the right amount of respect.

The other person looked him up and down.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"No need for formalities."

"I also ascended from the Cangxuan Realm, which means I've been here for over five thousand years."

"I heard that another group of ascendants from the Cangxuan Realm have arrived today, so I came to see the younger generation."

Chen Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

A senior from the Cangxuan Realm? An ascendant from over five thousand years ago?

"So that's how it is."

A look of surprise crossed his face.

"Senior, you also ascended from the Cangxuan Realm?"

The other person smiled and nodded.

"My name is Ji Wuliang. Back in the Cangxuan Realm, everyone called me Wuliang Immortal."

"You can call me Elder Ji, or you can call me Senior Ji, it's up to you."

Ji Wuliang.

Boundless Immortal.

Chen Yuan quickly searched through the information he had gathered in the Cangxuan Realm.

He had already thoroughly investigated those forces that had produced ascendants.

He personally dispatched people to handle all people and things that might have connections with the upper realm.

One of these forces is the Wuji Sword Sect.

The ascensionist from nearly a thousand years ago came from the Wuji Sword Sect.

And more than five thousand years ago...

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered.

The ancient records of the Wuji Sword Sect do indeed mention an ascendant named "Wuliang Immortal".

The communication jade tablet left behind by that ascended being was actually switched by Chen Yi, whom he personally sent to do!

So this is the person right in front of me.

The surprise on Chen Yuan's face turned into even more genuine respect.

"Senior Immortal Wuliang!"

He clasped his hands in a salute, his voice tinged with excitement.

"You are the Boundless Immortal Senior who ascended from the Boundless Sword Sect five thousand years ago?!"

"I heard of your deeds when I was in the Cangxuan Realm! The Wuji Sword Sect still enshrines your ancestral jade tablet to this day!"

Ji Wuliang looked somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He then nodded in satisfaction.

"Oh? The Wuji Sword Sect still has my inheritance jade tablet? It seems those kids do have some filial piety after all."

A look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"Back when I was in the Cangxuan Realm, the Wuji Sword Sect was just a small sect."

"I never imagined that after all these years, it would still exist, and be so powerful?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The Wuji Sword Sect is now one of the six top sects in the Cangxuan Realm."

"The swordsmanship tradition is unparalleled in the Northern Region."

"When I was in the Cangxuan Realm, I had long admired Senior Wuliang Immortal."

Ji Wuliang burst into laughter.

The laughter was full of satisfaction.

"Excellent! I never expected that even after more than five thousand years since my ascension, there would still be people in the mortal realm who remember my name."

"Young friend, what's your name?"

"This junior is Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan turned to the side and gestured for them to proceed.

"Please come in, senior, sit down and let's chat."

Ji Wuliang didn't stand on ceremony and strode into the cave.

Chen Yuan took out the spiritual tea he had brought from his cave and brewed two cups.

The quality of the spiritual tea was average, but it was better than nothing.

The two sat facing each other at the stone table.

Ji Wuliang picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Actually, when you ascended just now, among those who ascended from our Cangxuan Realm, excluding those who perished by accident, only I remained in the sect."

"I happened to be away from the sect just now, running some errands. I just got back when I heard about the commotion at the Ascension Platform, with twelve people ascending at once."

"This is truly a once-in-a-millennium spectacle."

"When I ascended to heaven, I was all alone."

"All alone, without a single companion."

"So I rushed over to take a look."

He put down his teacup and looked at Chen Yuan.

"By the way, were the other eleven people and that demonic beast also ascended from the Cangxuan Realm?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

"They're all with me."

Ji Wuliang sighed.

"That's rare, so many ascending at once."

"I just heard Elder Luo say that your physical constitution test results weren't very good?"

Chen Yuan's face showed a perfectly appropriate hint of shame.

"I am ashamed to say that I am only a three-star talent."

"Most of the other companions are also two- or three-star."

"Elder Luo originally had high hopes for us, but... he was disappointed."

Ji Wuliang waved his hand.

"Samsung's aptitude is not bad either; as long as he can enter the inner sect, that's fine."

"Don't let Luo Yuanzhou's long face fool you."

"He had too high expectations of you, and now he's suddenly fallen from grace, which he can't quite accept."

"Actually, a three-star talent is already considered above average among inner disciples."

"Moreover, physical attributes don't represent everything."

"The fact that you were able to cultivate from a place like the Cangxuan Realm to ascend to immortality already proves your abilities."

Chen Yuan showed a hint of gratitude on his face.

"Thank you for your comforting words, senior."

Ji Wuliang leaned back in his chair, his eyes filled with a touch of emotion.

"Speaking of which, I was quite a reckless young man back in the Cangxuan Realm."

"With a mere cultivation level of the Departing Dust Realm, you dare to call yourself a half-immortal."

"He even gave himself the title of 'Boundless Immortal,' thinking he was invincible."

"After ascending to the Jade Purity Continent, I realized how ignorant I was."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Above the Dao Fusion Realm is the Ultimate Creation Realm, and above the Ultimate Creation Realm is said to be the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Although I am currently in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, I only dare to be a core elder."

"How dare you call yourself an immortal?"

"To claim oneself as an immortal, one would probably need to ascend to the Immortal Realm to be qualified..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Fairyland?

Above the Jade Purity Continent, which is the upper realm, there is actually a Celestial Realm?
