Chapter 1, I am a time traveler, and I have an old grandfather with a ring

Not far away, a girl in red was looking in the direction of Wang Qi and said softly, "An unexpected situation, there is a bug that has advanced to the Qi Refining stage here, Senior Brother"

The elder, slightly angered, said: "Cultivating the path of immortality allows one to share longevity with heaven and earth, to move mountains and fill seas with a single hand, and to display miraculous abilities before others, earning the admiration of thousands. If your nature is compassionate and you wish to do good, then with a single thought, you can bring forth the Buddha for myriad families. If you have a penchant for killing, then you can slay one person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles. In short, you can roam freely between heaven and earth..."

It has been fourteen years since he crossed over from Earth to this world, and he has long accepted the reality of the transition, no longer feeling the despair he experienced in the initial years. However, he still finds it somewhat difficult to change his way of thinking from his previous life

But what about Wang Qi? Since the beginning of his cultivation, he has never consumed a single pill, yet his cultivation level can actually rival that of the true disciples of the ancient sects mentioned by Zhen Chanzi.

The old man said: "Do tell, what is it that you truly like? Aside from your jokes and jests, I have not seen you engage in any particular hobbies."

However, the turning point of the situation occurred on the day of Wang Qi's grandfather's burial. While he was digging a grave for his grandfather, he unexpectedly unearthed a ring—a special item that a traverser like Wang Qi should possess.

In summary, Wang Qi's quest for immortality began in this manner

The strands of spiritual energy flowed naturally into Wang Qi's body. Before long, the concentration of spiritual energy within Wang Qi reached its peak

These few sentences churned in Wang Qi's mind for a long time

That night, he had a dream. In the dream, he was sitting opposite an old man in a black robe.

Is it no longer popular to pursue the path of immortality for ordinary people? If I possess extraordinary talent and have an old man with a ring, then logically, I should have an unmarried fiancée coming to me to break off the engagement! However, since the Wang family has not prospered for eighteen generations, it is unlikely that any young lady from a second-rate family with some wealth would be engaged to me. An engagement by proxy? Haha, my mother, whom I have never met, was bought as a child bride; how could I possibly have a good friend who would be willing to sell our descendants' future together? But since the Wang family has not prospered for eighteen generations, it is unlikely that any young lady from a second-rate family with some wealth would be engaged to me. An engagement by proxy? Haha, my mother, whom I have never met, was bought as a child bride; how could I possibly have a good friend who would be willing to sell our descendants' future together?

The old man in the ring sighed: "Clearly possessing unparalleled talent, why is it that one is unwilling to put in the effort?"

In mid-April, it is the late spring season. That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

In the void, a man's voice echoed: "Be careful, what you are doing now involves a legendary figure of great power, do not take it lightly"

Suddenly, Wang Qi's hand techniques transformed, as he tilted his head back and opened his mouth wide, resembling a toad swallowing the sky, taking a deep breath. This breath felt as if he had inhaled a pound of ice-cold strong liquor into his abdomen; while it was refreshing and invigorating, it also infused a different kind of rich power throughout his body! Wang Qi focused his mind, attempting to manipulate this spiritual energy, and simultaneously leaped into the air, executing a set of boxing techniques as if he had practiced it thousands of times.

Wang Qi's previous life was from a place called Earth. Due to an unexpected incident, his soul traversed into the body of a baby in Shenzhou. This life of Wang Qi cannot be considered particularly smooth. His father, born with deficiencies, passed away early, and his mother died during childbirth, leaving him to be raised solely by his grandfather. Aware of his grandson's background, the grandfather chose the character "Qi" for his name. The Wang family was considered a landlord family, with a prosperous household. Although they lost their strong labor force, life still went on relatively comfortably. However, without entering the path of immortality, one cannot escape the fate of returning to dust. The old man Wang enjoyed a few years of family bliss with his grandson before passing away peacefully without illness or disaster.

When Wang Qi asked this question, he had a look of disbelief on his face. The old man in the black robe was quite pleased with Wang Qi's expression. However, he was unaware that what Wang Qi cared about was entirely different from what he was thinking.

What a statement akin to that of a rustic fool... Wang Qi thought to himself. This is comparable to an Earthling climbing Mount Everest, cruising through Guilin, descending the Yangtze River and then ascending the Yellow River, followed by a flight and a dive into the Mariana Trench, isn't it? It's something that can be experienced with just a bit of money and physical strength.

Young Wang Qizheng was meditating in the courtyard under the moonlight

After completing a set of punches, Wang Qi had already mastered the spiritual energy as if it were an extension of his own limbs. Upon introspection, the spiritual energy no longer exhibited the initial chaotic hues, but instead appeared as a pure, translucent black.

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Based on your findings... you should return first. Let's try a gentler approach."

The hallmark of the Qi Refinement stage is the emergence of magical power. During his introspection, Wang Qi sensed the presence of black energy flowing within his body, signifying that he had embarked on the path of cultivation, with longevity within reach

At the beginning of his cultivation journey, Wang Qi began to doubt whether he was the protagonist of a poorly written story. The Spirit Body stage is the most capable of discerning human talent. If one's talent is slightly inferior, it requires the power of elixirs to enhance it; otherwise, without the guidance of an elder, one must spend decades honing their skills through painstaking effort.

The two words I dislike the most in my life are 'effort' and 'keep it up' Wang Qi said淡淡地说道: 'I only wish to do what I like. If it were not for the possibility of immortality, I would not bother with cultivating immortality.

Seeing the attitude of the old man in the ring, Wang Qi said nothing further, but instead fell to the ground and casually remarked: "Boring"

Where did you come up with so many fallacies

At that moment, a jade ring worn by Wang Qi trembled imperceptibly twice, and a cold sensation extended from the ring, piercing towards his head. Then, an ancient voice echoed in Wang Qi's mind: "With the protection of magical power, your energy is self-sustaining, strength comparable to a wild bull, speed akin to a galloping horse. Do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Old man, do you wish to discuss knowledge with me? Do you want to talk about experience? I have ventured through perilous journeys between the most distant planets, I have witnessed the birth of the black sun, I have observed all the dark energies that exist in the real world... ? ... Well, this is the Dark Cathedral of Zelatu, but at least I have seen game CG, haven't I

At this moment, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright moonlight spills into the courtyard, illuminating the scene within. This is the backyard of a large residence, approximately ten square meters in size, yet it is poorly maintained, with overgrown paths and no chrysanthemums. The ground is marked by freshly turned soil, and some shallow ditches, about an inch wide, have clearly just been dug. However, the owner of this courtyard did not dig the earth for the purpose of planting flowers. In the moonlight, it can be seen that the ditches contain a thin layer of vermilion, and the entire arrangement of the ditches forms a bizarre pattern. There are even large pieces of jade at the junctions of the pattern.

Every trick for domesticating livestock, as well as the design of mechanisms, is a culmination of the wisdom of our predecessors. Can it be said that wisdom is also an external force

The old man snorted: "You are already in your teens, how can you still be like a child, thinking only about playing all day? Moreover, with a higher level of cultivation, what is there that you cannot play with?"

Wang Qi silently expressed incomprehensible jokes in his mind, but soon found it uninteresting and stared blankly at the moon

The martial arts not only invigorated Wang Qi's entire body but also stimulated the spiritual energy introduced within. Under the influence of the martial arts, the spiritual energy reluctantly flowed through Wang Qi's meridians, gradually being transformed. Slowly, the flow of spiritual energy began to obey Wang Qi's command

However, regardless of how Wang Qi disparages his own life as clichéd and devoid of novelty, his path to immortality has commenced smoothly and favorably.

The divisions of cultivation realms, from lowest to highest, are as follows: Xuan Zhao, Kai Guang, Bi Gu, Lian Qi, Zhu Ji, Jie Dan, Yuan Ying, Fen Shen, He Ti, and Da Cheng

The young man thought with a sense of helplessness

Wang Qi was taken aback by the question. He gazed at the full moon, lost in thought

This is magic

Wang Qi curled his lips and said: "After three years of hard training, this is all I can do. I feel a bit cheated... The money I spent on medicinal herbs and cinnabar flowers could have bought many plowing oxen and horses. Moreover, if we were to use machinery to harness the power of flowing water, even ten oxen would be no match for it"

Among them, the three realms of Xuanzhao, Kaiguang, and Bigu are collectively referred to as "Ling Shen". This represents a step towards transforming the physical foundation, paving the way for cultivation. At this stage, the practitioner's body gradually becomes stronger, and if not afflicted by the calamities of war, one can live up to one hundred and twenty years. However, due to the lack of magical power, it can only be considered a trial version or an experiential version of immortality cultivation.

Wang Qi originally had a cheerful disposition. Upon sensing a thread of magical power within him, he displayed a hint of excitement and immediately began to command that force to play. However, after a short while of play, his expression turned to one of disdain.

This is the Basic Gathering Spirit Formation, a commonly used formation among low-level cultivators in the Divine Land. It is a classic model that has been in use for seventy thousand years. However, it is not an extraordinary formation; it is merely a simple beginner's array that can slightly gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. For Wang Qi, who has just begun to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is just sufficient.

The elder within the ring sighed upon seeing Wang Qi's demeanor: "Clearly possessing unparalleled talent, why is it that you are unwilling to put in the effort?"

Due to the effect of the Gathering Spirit Array, Wang Qi can see the surrounding chaotic spiritual energy with his eyes closed

You said that your name is Zhen Chanzi, the leader of an ancient sect, and that during a massacre, both your physical body and primordial spirit were destroyed, leaving your lingering soul to survive in this ring. Now you wish to take me as your disciple, hoping that one day I can assist you in reconstructing your body

Wang Qi confronted sharply: "Do you know what I like to play?"

"It's hard to say," the man paused and then asked, "What do you mean by 'termite'?"

To permanently absorb a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine it into one's own unique magical power, this is the first step in cultivating immortality and also the first step in seizing the creation of heaven and earth

The old man exclaimed: "What are you talking about, little brat! Those external forces cannot be compared to the Dao of Immortality! Do not forget that every bit of power from the Dao of Immortality is one's own!"

This is probably the greatest cognitive gap between technological civilization and the civilization of immortality

Is there even a need to ask? In the end, Wang Qi looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Living, isn't it all about seeking something wonderful?"

This martial art is not an ordinary form of boxing. If it is used for bravado and fighting, it may not be as effective as the rough techniques of a ruffian. However, the youth understands that this style of boxing is less about combat and more about guiding energy; it is a practice of cultivating one's internal energy.

The old man instead found it amusing: "I have once ascended Kunlun, toured the Celestial Horse, descended the Heavenly River and ascended the Great River, I have also entered the Azure Void, and have dived into the Nine Nether Regions, even journeyed far to the outer seas. What sights in this world have I not seen?"

What the hell, this is one of the standard rings for time travelers. Didn't the old man say that it hasn't been popular in recent years? Which hack author designed this clichéd plot...

... ...

The battleship ignited and burned at the edge of Orion; C rays shimmered in the darkness near the stargate, all these moments will be submerged in the torrent of time, just like tears in the rain. Wang Qi silently recited lines from "Blade Runner" in his heart

The young man scoffed at the elder's words: "I have witnessed things that you cultivators find hard to believe..."

The young girl shivered slightly and then said, "We are fellow travelers, aren't we?"

What else could it be? The remnants of ancient methods
