Revenant Immortal

Chapter 2: Transmigrated into the Xianxia Novel (2)

“I only have 29 days left. Just 29 days to break through fifteen levels of Qi Condensation, kill Elder Mo, and seize the heavenly treasure.”

 

Su Fan spoke as he picked up his iron sword. He left the Grey Bamboo Huts, where the honorary disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect lived. After several hours of climbing Qingyun Mountain, he finally reached the summit, where the heavenly treasure had been buried.

 

Su Fan had been digging for hours. A strange, cold pressure radiated from the spot where he had been digging. There, half-buried in the mud, was a pristine black wooden box.

 

【Congratulations, Host Su Fan, you have acquired the Heavenly Treasure Rank.】

 

【Achievement Unlocked: Heaven’s Chosen.】

 

【Title Granted: Son of Fortune.】

 

【Item Acquired: Martial Twin Soul Ring.】

 

Su Fan stared at the system notifications in disbelief, a wry smile creeping onto his face. “So that bastard Zhao Ye really was incredibly lucky. No wonder the system calls him the Son of Fortune.”

 

He shook his head, unable to hide the irony he felt. “If Elder Mo hadn’t killed him, Zhao Ye probably would have become the main character of this world.” Su Fan quickly shifted his attention to the new title, eager to see its effects and any additional stats he had gained.

 

【Title: Son of Fortune.】

 

【Effect: Greatly increases luck in obtaining treasures, encountering opportunities, and avoiding disasters. The chance of good events is significantly improved.】

 

【Additional Stats:】

 

【Luck +100】

 

【Perception +20】

 

As Su Fan looked at the glowing blue panel before him, his eyes widened in shock. “A hundred points in Luck? That’s insane... Just how lucky am I supposed to be now?” he muttered. “No wonder Zhao Ye got all those opportunities handed to him.”

 

Before he could fully process what had just happened, a gentle, feminine voice resonated in his mind.

 

【Host, it is recommended to open the status window to view your current abilities and items.】

 

Su Fan blinked, surprised by the gentle, feminine voice. For a moment, he stared blankly into the air. “You... you’re a woman?”

 

【Based on the analysis of the Host’s preferences, a female system voice was selected instead of a male one.】

 

【However, the system is ultimately gender-neutral. If the Host wishes, the system’s gender can be changed at any time.】

 

Su Fan quickly waved his hands. “No, no, don’t change it! Ahem... and don’t tease your host like that. By the way, what should I call you?”

 

【The system has no name. The Host may call me whatever you wish.】

 

Su Fan paused, thinking about his little sister from his previous life. After a moment, he smiled softly. “Then, from now on, I’ll call you Xiaoyu.”

 

【Name registered successfully. Thank you, Host.】

 

“You’re welcome, Xiaoyu,” Su Fan murmured, the faint smile still lingering on his lips before fading back into his usual cold composure. “Status window, open.”

Martial Twin Soul Ring

 

Grade: Divine Grade (Sealed)

 

Effect 1: Allows the user to cultivate two martial paths at the same time.

 

Effect 2: Grants absolute concealment of the user's true cultivation rank from any entity below the Immortal Ascension Stage.

 

Description: A broken fragment of an ancient weapon that fell from the Upper Realms. It requires immense spiritual energy or specific Heavenly Stones to unlock its true hidden power.

 

Su Fan looked at the dark ring on his finger, rubbing his thumb against the cold silver engravings. A low chuckle escaped his lips as he grasped the significance of what he held.

According to Zhao Ye's memories, every cultivator could only walk a single martial path throughout their lifetime. Once they chose their martial path, there was no turning back. However, thousands of years ago, there was one exception—a legendary figure known as the Martial God. He was a wandering sword cultivator who roamed the continent, defeating countless experts without ever suffering a single defeat. Unlike every other cultivator, the Martial God was said to have mastered two martial paths at the same time, accomplishing what everyone believed to be impossible.

 

Before ascending to the Spirit Realm, the Martial God founded the Kunlun Sect, an ancient sect said to have inherited the legacy of the True Dragons. During its peak, the Kunlun Sect stood at the pinnacle of the continent, producing countless unrivaled experts. Although the sect eventually disappeared from history, the Martial God's legend continued to be passed down through countless generations.

 

“If this ring truly allows me to cultivate two martial paths at the same time...” Su Fan muttered, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Then it may have some connection to the Martial God.”

More importantly, the ring's concealment effect meant he could grow as strong as he wanted right under Elder Mo's nose without anyone suspecting a thing.

 

“Xiaoyu,” Su Fan asked after a moment of silence. “My status window shows my cultivation rank is Mortal, and it says it is Degraded. What does that mean? Zhao Ye spent twenty years practicing the art Elder Mo gave him, and he reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation before he died. Why did my rank drop back to zero?”

 

A light blue message box appeared before him, and the smooth, feminine voice of the system responded clearly in his mind.

 

【The original owner of this body, Zhao Ye, indeed reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation before his death. However, when Elder Mo forced him to consume the Soul-Withering Bone-Corroding Pill, the violent toxins did not just destroy his heart. They completely melted his active meridians and shattered his spiritual foundation, draining all the Qi he had accumulated back into the atmosphere.】

 

【Furthermore, the Purifying Consuming Art he practiced for two decades is an incomplete cultivation script deliberately distributed by the outer elders to control the labor force. While it effectively purges basic physical impurities and miasma from a mortal body, it also damages the natural spiritual root over time, sealing the body's potential. Because the physical structure has been hollowed out and damaged by both the poison and the flawed cultivation technique, the system has marked your current status as Degraded.】

 

Su Fan squinted, a dark, calculating glint flashing across his eyes. He did not show any anger. Instead, his expression gradually calmed as he processed the information. It made sense. A high-ranking elder like Mo would never hand over a perfect cultivation technique to a common, nameless honorary disciple without a catch. The entire arrangement was meant to turn servants into disposable tools who could cleanse their bodies just enough to handle materials, but never become strong enough to threaten the inner disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.

 

“So the kid was fighting a losing battle from the very beginning,” Su Fan muttered, looking down at his rough, scarred hands. “He thought he was climbing his way to immortality, but he was just digging his own grave every time he cultivated.”

 

He paused, adjusting the iron sword strapped to his waist as the cold mountain wind began to pick up, whistling through the jagged rocks around the summit. The sky above Qingyun Mountain gradually turned a deep shade of purple, a clear sign that night was approaching. If he remained at the peak for too long, the supervising disciples would definitely notice his absence from the Grey Bamboo Huts during the evening roll call.

 

“Xiaoyu, I have 50 SP available on my status window,” Su Fan said as he made his way down the steep, rocky mountain path. “Can I use these points to repair the damage to this body, or do I need another way to repair this Degraded status before I can start cultivating again?”

 

【Host, you can repair your damaged meridians by spending your SP to purchase a meridian restoration pill from the System Store. However, please be warned that the process will be extremely painful, as it will completely replace your broken meridians with new ones.】

 

“Do it. Spend the points and buy it,” Su Fan said without hesitation as he continued walking. Moving quickly down the steep mountain path, he slipped through the shadows of Qingyun Mountain and returned to the Grey Bamboo Hut unnoticed. He pushed open the worn wooden door, stepped into his small room, locked it securely behind him, then sat cross-legged on the cold dirt floor in the lotus position and slowly closed his eyes.

 

【50 SP deducted.】

 

【Item Acquired: Soul Rebirth Pill III.】

 

A dark crimson pill materialized in the palm of his hand, radiating a bitter medicinal scent. Su Fan swallowed it without delay.

 

For a brief moment, nothing happened before an unbearable pain suddenly surged through his body, as though thousands of rusted iron needles were tearing through his broken meridians, ripping them apart before forcefully replacing them with entirely new ones. His body lurched forward, both hands slamming against the dirt floor as his fingers dug deep into the earth while a scream tore from his throat. Veins bulged across his body, cold sweat poured down his face, and every muscle trembled violently as his entire internal organs were destroyed and rebuilt.

 

"ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"
