Chapter 451 A Passerby in a Fallen Immortal Family (Part 3)

The cultivation levels in this world are similar to those in the previous world. Before becoming an immortal, one progresses through Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Body Integration, Mahayana, and Tribulation Transcending. After transcending the tribulation to become an immortal, one progresses through True Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Golden Immortal. Whether one progresses further or to Taiyi is unknown to Jiang Yue. Beyond that, there are no further records in the family.

The only way to transfer power is to transcend tribulation and become an immortal. After becoming an immortal, spiritual power will be transformed into higher-level immortal essence/immortal spiritual power. Immortal essence can be converted into spiritual power, which can then help those below the level of true immortals to improve their realm. However, the converted spiritual power carries the mark of an immortal. If the person receiving the power does not become an immortal, the mark in the spiritual power cannot be erased, so they cannot improve their strength.

Although Jiang Yue knew the reason, she was still confused. After all, having more spiritual energy does not necessarily lead to an improvement in cultivation level. If that were the case, wouldn't it be better to just capture spiritual energy and have someone refine it? Besides, spiritual energy will eventually run out, so wouldn't there be no mark left after using up the spiritual energy and starting cultivation again?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue dispersed her spiritual energy and cultivated again. As a result, after the new spiritual energy was absorbed, the spiritual energy in her dantian was directly marked with the imprint of the person who transmitted the power. This was very strange. Jiang Yue did not know the principle or how it was done. She would wait for Bai Ze's analysis results to come out before she could see.

So how exactly did that realm improve? Fortunately, Jiang Yue had the original owner's memories. Jiang Yue extracted those memories and then immersed herself in them several times. However, since it was something from the past, Jiang Yue could only repeat the feeling the original owner had back then. Because the original owner's aptitude was too poor, everything during the transfer of power was passive, and she had no feeling at all.

After experiencing the power transfer several times, Jiang Yue understood a little. This power transfer should be part of the body-seizing process, or it could be said to be a product of a failed body-seizing. However, this failure was artificially controlled. In the final step of the body-seizing process, the immortal actively reincarnated his true spirit. This is the essence of the power transfer.

However, the immortals weren't so kind. In Jiang Yue's eyes, the person who received the power was more like a great medicine. Once the reincarnated immortal broke through the mystery of the womb and improved his realm to a certain level, he could directly refine the great medicine and reclaim the Dao fruit from his previous life. It couldn't be more comfortable.

So the reason why it's hard for those who receive the power to improve their cultivation level has been found. Jiang Yue guessed that their entire body, including their soul, has the mark of an immortal. Everything they have belongs to the immortal. Isn't it normal for the mark to be included after refining spiritual power? When Bai Ze's test results came out, it was indeed the case.

Knowing the reason makes it easier to solve. Thanks to the fact that Jiang Yue transmigrated, many of the imprints in her primordial spirit were assimilated during the operation of 8888. The rest is just a matter of spending time to assimilate them slowly. Once her entire body is assimilated, Jiang Yue should be able to directly ascend to the True Immortal realm.

However, relying on Jiang Yue to slowly grind things down is too slow. Technological means are needed to speed things up. The only concern is that a reincarnated immortal might suddenly return, not giving Jiang Yue any time. After experimenting for half a year, they felt it was a bit tricky because the level of the immortal essence was too high, and Jiang Yue's previous methods were no longer effective.

However, Jiang Yue eventually came up with a solution: using the two immortal artifacts she had on hand. This was an inspiration that came to her while researching immortal artifacts. The aftershocks of their collision would obliterate the immortal imprint in her physical body. Although this would result in Jiang Yue being seriously injured, she had many ways to heal herself. When she had used up most of the high-level healing medicine in her space, most of the problems in her physical body were resolved.

Jiang Yue didn't plan to use this method for the remaining amount. Watching the things she was reluctant to use disappear so quickly, Jiang Yue felt extremely distressed. The main thing was that now that the hidden dangers in her body had been eliminated, even if an immortal were to reincarnate and return, they couldn't do anything to Jiang Yue. She would just have to spend time grinding down the remaining 20%, which would take about 20 or 30 years.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yue emerged from seclusion once. She checked on her family's situation and realized that having a powerful backer would save her a lot of trouble when collecting things in the future. This time, Jiang Yue paid attention to the protagonist. Decades had passed, but his cultivation level had not improved. She scanned him but did not find anyone like Yao Lao. Could it be that she had mistaken him for the protagonist? In the end, Jiang Yue gave up observing him. Solving her own problems was the most important thing at the moment.

Before going into seclusion, Jiang Yue collected a batch of alchemy materials and then gave the immortal artifact to the clan leader. The clan leader has now broken through the Tribulation Transcending stage, and he might be the next immortal. Jiang Yue doesn't understand the immortal artifact yet, so she'd better keep it for him to protect himself.

Twenty years later.

Jiang Yue has resolved the hidden dangers in her body. Her current realm should be pseudo-immortal. She has immortal essence but no immortal understanding. Reaching this level is already quite good, because Jiang Yue was not completely possessed. Her primordial spirit is still essentially herself. She can still choose to undergo tribulation to become an immortal. If she can successfully pass the tribulation, she will be a genuine immortal. Moreover, after becoming an immortal, she will save a large part of the time for converting immortal essence and immortal body.

Over the past twenty years, Jiang Yue has picked up alchemy and weapon crafting again. Although the world has changed slightly, Jiang Yue's vision remains the same. She learns alchemy and weapon crafting faster and faster as time goes on. In twenty years, her skills have reached the peak of mortals. The main reason is that her family does not have the recipes for immortal pills or the blueprints for immortal weapons, which restricts her.

After twenty years of seclusion, Jiang Yue did not choose to emerge but instead continued her seclusion. She re-examined her own strength, realizing that everything she had previously possessed belonged to others and that the original owner of this body had not fully grasped it. It took Jiang Yue thirty years to master all of the original owner's abilities. Unexpectedly, when she was about to emerge from seclusion, she had another epiphany, which took her a hundred years. After completing this epiphany, Jiang Yue spent another fifty years organizing her gains. Now, Jiang Yue can be said to be extremely strong, capable of defeating dozens of her previous selves.

Not only that, Jiang Yue felt that her chance to become an immortal had arrived. She had a feeling that her tribulation would be in a hundred years. Jiang Yue did not have the immortal artifacts and pills needed for the tribulation. It was time for her to come out of seclusion and prepare for the tribulation. Otherwise, she would not be able to pass the heavenly tribulation under the current circumstances.

After leaving the pass, he first went to the clan leader to learn about the family's situation, and then went to see the person who seemed to be the protagonist. It turned out that 200 years had passed and he was still alive, and his cultivation level had even reached the Integration Stage.

Then there was a necklace around her neck. Jiang Yue was quite puzzled because she couldn't scan the necklace with her divine sense, but she could see it with her naked eye. Wasn't this blatantly telling everyone that there was something wrong? Did everyone not care?

However, Jiang Yue didn't meddle. She didn't know what kind of person the other was. What if Jiang Yue exposed him and he accused her of already having a death wish? The best solution was to pretend she hadn't noticed. Besides, what reason would Jiang Yue give for reminding him? Why would a clan patriarch pay such serious attention to a clansman? Although the protagonist was a bit special, that wasn't a valid reason.
