In order to live immortal, I changed a martial artist world to a xianxia world-Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Recognised at Last! He is Bai Chen!

Outside the Profound Heaven Sword Sect

Bai Chen stood in mid-air, his expression calm and indifferent. Yet, deep within, he was far from composed. Having lived in this world for twenty-four years, he had long since adapted to its ways. During his past wanderings through the martial world of the Ming Empire, he had witnessed countless grand occasions.

He had once believed himself capable of facing such moments with absolute composure. But now, at the very moment of stepping into the light, a ripple of excitement still stirred within him. Since obtaining the system, he had always operated from the shadows—pulling the strings, orchestrating events. Be it Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang, or even others who had received immortal inheritances— To Bai Chen, they were nothing more than tools, existing solely to aid him in amassing power of destiny. And now, at last—

He had grown powerful enough that he no longer needed to care about prying eyes.

Today, all five great empires shall see that I, Bai Chen, am the strongest of them all!

“My, my… such a handsome young man…”

“Where might you be from?”

Wanwan, also floating mid-air, spoke with a teasing tone.

At this moment, shock filled her heart.

Bai Chen stood there, completely at ease, without releasing even the slightest aura.

Yet to her eyes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounding him was unnaturally active, endlessly flowing into his body. Even the void beneath his feet seemed to bend to his presence, forming a domain that was utterly impenetrable.

In that instant, she realised the truth—

He is a cultivator!

And not just any cultivator—his strength is far beyond mine! But why? Why had such a terrifying existence never been mentioned before? When did he obtained an immortal inheritance?

Even Shi Feixuan and countless warriors below were filled with curiosity. Most of them could not comprehend Bai Chen’s true power. But the fact that he stood effortlessly in mid-air was proof enough that at the very least, he was an Earthly Immortal!

And the expressions on Wanwan and Shi Feixuan’s faces further confirmed it: He was even stronger than them. A wave of shock rippled through the crowd.

“Hm?”

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow, his lips curling slightly.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

Though Wanwan’s words sounded casual, they were laced with a deeply seductive charm, but it was pointless. Bai Chen’s cultivation realm and techniques far surpassed hers. This little trick of hers was completely ineffective.

But Bai Chen was not someone who tolerated provocations lightly.

His eyes shifted and locked directly onto Wanwan.

BOOM!

The moment their gazes met Wanwan felt as though she had been targeted by an almighty being. In an instance, her entire body trembled, her face turning deathly pale.

The energy within her body surged chaotically, nearly causing her to explode from within. Simply standing in mid-air, something that was natural for a cultivator at the Qi Transformation Realm, had become unbearably difficult. She swayed, as though she might fall at any moment.

“Such petty tricks are best kept to yourself.”

Bai Chen withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

Wanwan was undoubtedly stunning, a beauty unmatched but Bai Chen was no simpering fool, swayed by a pretty face. Since she dared to test him, she would have to pay the price. He still needed her to generate power of destiny. Thus, killing her now would be a waste.

But teaching her a lesson? That was entirely justified.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“Haah…!”

The moment Bai Chen looked away, Wanwan felt the crushing pressure lift, gasping desperately for breath.

She had never imagined that this man, who seemed no older than herself, could be so utterly terrifying.

Just a single glance had left her humiliated! Shi Feixuan, standing beside her, was equally shaken. She knew how powerful Wanwan was. Their strengths were evenly matched. Yet Wanwan had collapsed under just a look from Bai Chen. She understood that she wouldn’t fare better if she was targeted.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“This… this can’t be real!”

“Just a single glance, and he subdued the Demoness of Heaven and Earth?!”

“He must be a cultivator! A far stronger one!”

The scene had left the gathered martial artists utterly terrified.

Everyone in the Five Great Empires knew that Wanwan was an immortal cultivator at the Qi Transformation Realm. Even ordinary Earthly Immortals would struggle against her. And yet Bai Chen had crushed her with nothing but his eyes. Just who was he? And if he was entering the Profound Heaven Sword Sect as well, then did anyone else even stand a chance?

“Could he be…?”

At that moment, Shangguan Haitang, who stood behind Zhu Wushi, gasped in disbelief.

“Haitang, do you know him?”

Zhu Wushi immediately turned, his eyes filled with interest. In his view, Bai Chen was undoubtedly a true powerhouse. Perhaps, only Zhang Sanfeng, who had reached late-stage Qi Transformation, could rival him. He had assumed that Bai Chen was some reclusive old monster who had cultivated for centuries.

But now it turned out that Shangguan Haitang actually knew him?!

“Foster Father!”

“He is from our Ming Empire’s martial world!”

“No… I should say he is a cultivator now!”

Shangguan Haitang immediately explained.

As the leader of the imperial secret service and master of Tianxia First Manor, she possessed vast intelligence. She had been ordered to monitor all martial activity in the Ming Empire. Thus, she knew who Bai Chen was. A true prodigy.

Once, she had considered recruiting him for the court. But with the immortal inheritances appearing, the Ming Empire had been far too preoccupied. She had forgotten about Bai Chen. Now she was seeing him again. But he had become someone completely different from what she had known.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“Self-taught… and at twenty-one, he reached the Grandmaster Realm of Celestial Phenomena?”

Zhu Di was dumbfounded.

He knew how arduous martial cultivation was. Even though he himself had reached mid-stage Grandmaster Realm of Celestial Phenomena at twenty-seven, that was only because he had been raised within the imperial family, with limitless resources.

But Bai Chen was born to commoners and had no martial lineage. He had relied only on purchased manuals, mostly third-rate techniques. And yet at twenty-one, he had already surpassed most warriors in the empire.

It should have been Impossible but it had really happened.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“So this is him!”

Zhu Wushi’s eyes flashed with shock. Two years ago, Shangguan Haitang had reported the rise of a martial prodigy. At the time, Zhu Wushi had dismissed the report. Now, that same prodigy had become someone he could only look up to.
