In a forest filled with dense trees, in a place quite deep in the forest, a young man who looked to be 15 years old, lay weakly with a body full of wounds and clothes soaked in blood.

The young man slowly opened his eyes.

“I.. agkh!” The young man wanted to move but stopped because he felt pain all over his body.

“What.. happened..? Did I fail?” The young man looked around then carefully looked at his body condition. “This.. seems like I.. succeeded, right? I am so Immortal Ye Yuan successfully reincarnated?”

Yes, that young man was Ye Yuan who had successfully reincarnated.

“But..” Ye Yuan frowned, thinking of some strange things. “Ah well, I’ll think about it later, it’s better now..”

Ye Yuan slowly got up, taking a cross-legged sitting position.

Ye Yuan controlled his breathing for a moment, then let out a long breath, reaching the limit of the breath he could exhale, then he breathed in slowly, very slowly and simultaneously took in natural energy through his breath, flowing the energy throughout his body.

Ye Yuan could feel all the wounds on his body warming up, the pain starting to subside. After a few minutes, Ye Yuan’s breathing still hadn’t stopped.

He reached the limit after 5 minutes, and at that moment the bleeding in his body stopped, the pain also disappeared, although it was not yet said to be cured.

“I seem to be a little unlucky, getting a fragile, untrained, weak body and not even having a good cultivation.” Ye Yuan sighed. “But this is strange, how did I reincarnate into someone else’s body? Shouldn’t I be born as a baby?”

The reincarnation rule that Ye Yuan knew was that a person would return to being a baby, but he would resurrect in someone else's body.

“Maybe because I didn’t reincarnate naturally, I created my own reincarnation path so the result was a bit strange. Well, even though I didn’t become a baby, at least I have complete memories from my previous life.”

Reincarnated people should not remember their past lives. Although there are certain situations that sometimes trigger past memories.

“But more importantly than that!” Ye Yuan clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face. “My body has finally broken free from that cultivation technique, and now no one can stop me from having relationships with women!”

Ye Yuan recalled his past suffering of being a virgin his entire life. What a miserable fate, when so many goddesses would willingly give their bodies and souls for him.

Ye Yuan wiped away his tears, his expression firm, filled with determination.

“This time, I won’t end up being a guard for life!” Ye Yuan remembered the 5 women who had previously pursued him, making Ye Yuan smile modestly.

“Little Sister Yunji, Hong Yingli, Tingyun, Xiao Zhiyi, Zhao Ling’er, wait for me, I will return to the immortal realm and marry the five of you! Don’t worry, I will not disappoint you in this life!”

Ye Yuan was determined to meet those five women in the immortal realms. He had no idea that the five of them were also reincarnating.

“But since I resurrected in someone else’s body, what is my true identity? And why did I end up in the forest covered in wounds?” Ye Yuan closed his eyes, trying to search through the memories of the previous owner.

“Ahaha, I didn’t expect something like this to happen to me, how unlucky.” Ye Yuan opened his eyes after getting the answer to his question.

Ye Yuan was an orphan who worked at the Chu Family residence as a horse caretaker.

Ye Yuan's life was very difficult, he only slept in a horse stable with straw as a base, he was not given any wages at all, he was only given food, and even then it was only leftovers.

It wouldn't be wrong to say Ye Yuan was a slave.

Even so, Ye Yuan never thought of quitting his job there. Because if he quit, he would have to become a beggar who might not be able to eat once a week.

Working in the Chu Family was much better than being a beggar, at least he could eat once a day, sleep in a shady place even though it was in a horse stable with a straw floor, but he had a blanket to protect him from the cold of the night.

One night, Ye Yuan woke up because he needed to pee. At that time, he heard a strange sound from somewhere. When he checked, he witnessed one of the Chu Family Patriarch's concubines having an affair with the Chu Family army chief.

Ye Yuan who was caught at that time, ended up being beaten. Because he was afraid that their affair would be found out, Ye Yuan was slandered for raping the concubine and ended up getting a heavy punishment.

He was beaten and then thrown into this forest.

“Well, people like them always exist.” Ye Yuan smiled bitterly.

“Alright, stop thinking about the past, I should treat my body first.” Ye Yuan sat cross-legged, concentrated then began to absorb the natural energy.

Ye Yuan did not absorb the energy into his Dantian to be processed into Qi energy, but instead made the energy enter the wound.

'The energy absorption is so slow because I have no cultivation at all, but since I only have minor external injuries, it won't be difficult to heal.'

Ye Yuan did not use the energy breathing method like before, because that method would cause the energy to not flow optimally into the wound even though the energy absorption was faster.

After 1 hour, Ye Yuan opened his eyes with a big smile. He stood up and jumped up and down, doing some punching and kicking movements.

“My body has fully recovered, although it is still weak and thin.” Ye Yuan looked at his thin arm.

“I should start cultivating, at least I have to break through to the early stage of Qi Foundation.” Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged again.

According to his memory, cultivation was divided into several levels.

- Qi Foundation

- Core Formation

- Silver Core

- Gold Core

- Nascent Soul

Each is divided into 3 stages, from beginning, middle, end.

“The names of the cultivation levels in this world are quite different from those in the immortal realm. Well, since this is just a mortal realm with so many of them, it is natural that each mortal world has different names for the levels.”

Ye Yuan began to absorb natural energy, he used the energy breathing method, breathing to absorb the surrounding energy.

2 hours passed and Ye Yuan finally broke through to the early-stage Qi Foundation level.

This was just a very weak basic cultivation, everyone could reach the early stage Qi foundation easily with just a little effort, that was why Ye Yuan could easily achieve it with his weak body.

*****

*A little explanation.

    Ye Yuan, who only had knowledge of the immortal realm, did not know much about the mortal world, even the most basic things, he could only rely on his new body's extremely limited memories. Ye Yuan successfully reached the initial stage of cultivation, his body now already had flowing energy. With that energy, even if it was just a tiny bit, Ye Yuan could do many things, he could also unlock his cultivation potential. “Just the body of a beggar, but having 1 energy point opened is quite good, meaning this body does have cultivation talent, well, even if it’s only the lowest grade.” Generally, a person's natural cultivation talent is determined based on the number of energy points opened. The human body has 64 energy points, the more that are open, the faster a person will cultivate. And there is no way to open this energy point manually, but cultivators can open it by breaking through, but not every time they break through the energy point will open. But for Ye Yuan, opening th

    People flocked to see the red bear, but they kept their distance, making Ye Yuan not get in the way at all. Upon arriving at the clothing store, the shop owner immediately greeted Ye Yuan because he had heard about the person who brought the red bear fur. “Young master, would you like to sell this red bear?” the shop owner asked with a big smile. “Yes, and give me clothes that are worth the price.” Ye Yuan didn’t know the exact price of the red bear fur, so he might be cheated. But it doesn't matter, as long as he gets the clothes it's enough. “Hoho, so young master wants to barter? Of course, come in I will prepare everything.” The shop owner was so enthusiastic. Ye Yuan put away the red bear fur and was carried by the shop assistant. He also took off the animal skull that he had put on his head, revealing a face covered in blood and dried mud. Ye Yuan did that on purpose. Ye Yuan was prepared with a bathroom and simple clothes. He immediately took a shower, cleaned h

    Ye Yuan felt so satisfied after doing all that. It was as if he had just been freed from a shackle. Ye Yuan left immediately after that because some people came because of the commotion he caused. “I’ve already destroyed their vocal cords so they won’t be able to reveal what happened to them at all. Given that they’re just low-class members, I’m sure the Chu Family won’t bother spending a lot of money to treat them.” Ye Yuan smiled broadly, walking in a small alley that was quite dark in the middle of the night. “Alright, I will infiltrate the Chu Family residence next.” Ye Yuan quickly moved towards the Chu Family residence. He already had a plan on how to retaliate against the two people who slandered him for trying to rape the Chu Family's concubine. ** Ye Yuan was now on a tree with very dense leaves, hiding himself in the dark night, looking towards the Chu Family residence's boundary wall which was not that well guarded. Because there have never been any cases of intruder

    Ye Yuan was now inside the inn room after witnessing how the concubine was executed. “To reach the core formation realm, I must form my energy core which will be an important source of power.” Ye Yuan meditated, closing his eyes, concentrating fully. Energy was concentrated in Ye Yuan's Dantian, creating a concentrated energy vortex to form an energy core. “Before I had a Yang energy core, I already had a deep understanding of Yang energy, because of the Yang element inherent in my body, I was completely unable to accept any type of Yin element from any source..” “..But I have done a lot of research on the Yin element before, so I have a lot of knowledge about it.” Ye Yuan did not lower his concentration. “So I will make both elements exist in my body, Yin and Yang, both will form one unity in a consistent balance.” Ye Yuan's energy core began to form, black and white auras burst out from his body. Ye Yuan's expression was clearly calm, not feeling any pressure at all from the f

    Ye Yuan did not expect to fall into someone's trap. He was now surrounded by 5 early-stage Golden Core cultivators. 'To be chased by 5 Golden Core cultivators, what exactly did that girl do? Ah well, I better finish this matter first.' Ye Yuan channeled energy into his forehead to remove the formation symbols stuck there. Finally, the five people surrounding him were able to see Ye Yuan's true appearance. That's how it should be, right? When they saw that Ye Yuan was not the person they were after, the five cultivators should be shocked, right? But why did they look so ordinary? Was it true that he hadn’t released the formation? But Ye Yuan was sure that he had released the formation. "Hey, look carefully, I'm not the person you're looking for? The girl went that way.” Ye Yuan pointed at the direction where the masked girl left. “Hm! We won’t be fooled by your cheap tricks again!” Ye Yuan paused for a moment then smiled wryly as he realized the situation. It seemed like these

  • Beyond The Immortal   Ch.9 - Information

    Ye Yuan had only trained his physique for 1 month, without the help of any resources, so his physique was now even weaker than an average Silver Core stage cultivator. That is why using the immortal breathing technique which forcibly strengthens muscles and bones will have side effects. Ye Yuan now felt pain in his body, but he hid it with a big smile. Meanwhile, the 2 opponents who were still standing did not immediately attack because their 3 comrades had fallen in just 30 seconds when their fight started. Now they felt doubtful that if the opponent they were facing was a Silver Core level cultivator, surely the young cultivator would be at least one stage above them. “You guys are not bad, be proud that I gave you praise.” While waiting for his body to recover, Ye Yuan wanted to stall for time by inviting them to talk. He also performed the immortal breathing technique, but unlike before which strengthened the body, now the breathing could help reduce pain. So this immortal

    Ye Yuan returned to Green Leaf Town to sell some of the items he obtained from the Red Valley Sect members. Ye Yuan originally planned to go to the capital of Zhou Kingdom, but he would postpone it for a few days. Ye Yuan used half of the proceeds from the sale of the loot to buy herbs. Currently, Ye Yuan was in the inn room, refining a potion that could strengthen his physique. Because the pill furnace was too expensive and even a low quality one would cost Ye Yuan all his money, he didn't buy a furnace and couldn't refine pills. Although the effectiveness of pills would be better than potions, Ye Yuan had no other choice. If he bought a furnace then he would not be able to buy herbs, so it was better to just buy herbs and not buy a furnace. “Besides, the potions are easier to make.” Ye Yuan smiled after finishing his first potion. Without wasting any time, he immediately drank the potion, meditating to maximize the potion's effects. Ye Yuan had enough herbs to make 20 potions

    “Haha, feel what? I don’t feel anything. You’re just a swindler, now quickly roll out of this Pavilion!” Hearing the officer's words, the smile on Ye Yuan's face disappeared. Although he would not mind drinking the potion and would not sue him, it seemed that this person had no intention of resolving it properly. 'Heh, this kind of potion must be very rare and I'm sure he only has one, so he won't be able to prove it.' The officer tried to calm himself down, even though beads of sweat were already rolling down his forehead. “Hey old man, what do you mean? So this is how the Golden Flower Pavilion treats its customers?! What a joke!” Ye Yuan deliberately raised his voice so that the guards in the Pavilion building started to come over. Seeing the guards coming, the Officer smiled faintly. “Guards! This person wants to cause a commotion.” The officer pointed at Ye Yuan. “Quickly throw him out!” Because of the commotion, the other customers started to move away a little and whisper

    When Ye Yuan first saw the Fairy, he didn’t expect it at all. In a world where most creatures fought using aura, a Fairy with a naturally weak physique was incredibly out of place.However, in the vast universe, strange things were not unusual. Ye Yuan wouldn’t be too surprised if something unexpected happened.He decided to save the Fairy, not only out of curiosity but also because she could become a valuable source of information.Currently, Ye Yuan was using his artifact to hide both himself and the Fairy he was holding, staying concealed from the furious giant lizard that had realized it had been tricked."Wow, that lizard seems extremely vengeful. Or maybe you did something that made it so angry it can't forgive you? It even called you a thief," Ye Yuan said, frowning slightly. He knew Fairies weren’t known for stealing."Red-Eyed Lizards have an incredibly short temper. Even if you disturb them just a little, they can become furious. I merely obtained a treasure, and that lizard

    "Eh?" Ye Yuan was confused when he saw the giant lizard leaving, seemingly chasing after something. "Am I just lucky?"Ye Yuan looked in the direction where the giant lizard had gone. Its massive body had already disappeared from his sight. Despite its size, larger than a mountain, it could move with astonishing speed."It seems it was searching for an enemy hiding nearby and ended up sensing my presence. Since it ignored me even after calling me an intruder, the enemy it’s chasing must be far more important." The thought sparked Ye Yuan's curiosity.The beast was clearly hunting its foe, and if a battle broke out, it would surely be a fierce one. Ye Yuan was eager to see how high-level creatures in this world fought.Forming a hand seal, Ye Yuan activated the formation array inscribed in his artifact to conceal his presence."With this, the lizard shouldn't be able to detect me as long as I don't make any conspicuous moves." Ye Yuan soared into the air, flying in the direction the gi

    Tempering His Body with Blood Crystal SandYe Yuan's method of using the Blood Crystal Sand was not by absorbing its energy, but by fusing it directly into his flesh, blood, and bones.First, Ye Yuan had to heat both his body and the Blood Crystal Sand until they reached their melting points, only then could he begin the fusion process.At any moment, Ye Yuan’s body could melt from the extreme heat, but thanks to his regeneration abilities, he managed to maintain it, enduring excruciating pain. At the same time, the corrosive effects of the poison he had consumed further worsened his condition.In his current state, Ye Yuan was extremely vulnerable to any external interference. His body had become far softer than normal, and even a slight attack could penetrate his flesh easily.It could be said that Ye Yuan’s body was at its weakest."Ugh..."

He planned to train in this world before returning to the Tianwu World.Now, Ye Yuan stood atop a mountain, trying to sense the surrounding area with his spiritual sense."The gravity in this world is several times stronger than that of the Tianwu World, so the creatures here naturally possess stronger physiques," Ye Yuan muttered after detecting no dangerous creatures within the radius of his spiritual sense."Each island has its own gravitational field, and it seems the larger the island, the stronger the gravity," Ye Yuan speculated.He then shot through the air, searching for something interesting on this island. It didn't take long before Ye Yuan found it.From a distance, he saw a battle taking place. Ye Yuan spotted two unique-looking creatures fighting— a wolf and a tiger. What made them special was that both had humanoid forms, standing on two legs with arms, each nearly three

This was to keep the beast safe from the threat of the examination participants.Afterward, Ye Yuan approached the artifact that served as one of the array’s core points.He took out several formation papers, performed hand seals, and created a formation that sealed the artifact.Ye Yuan began to manipulate the formation within the artifact.

    Ye Yuan listened to Ye Yunji’s scolding for a full hour without interrupting even once. A smile tugged at Ye Yuan’s lips as he listened; he wanted to embrace the woman right now. Unfortunately, what stood before him was only a holographic recording.From her scolding, Ye Yuan learned how Ye Yunji had traveled from world to world searching for him, never finding any trace, scattering various artifacts across the worlds, waiting and waiting, yet none of the artifacts ever detected Ye Yuan’s presence.After steadying her breathing, Ye Yunji cast a sharp gaze toward Ye Yuan.Even though it was just a hologram, the formation that powered it was extremely sophisticated. It could detect Ye Yuan’s presence and would react according to the pre-programmed instructions."It’s good that you listened to everything. If you had interrupted even once, I would have detonated the artifact to teach you a lesson," Ye Yunji huffed lightly.‘Uh!’ Ye Yuan was startled. ‘It seems she’s really angry at me. We

    Ye Yuan didn’t really care how panicked Yue Xue and the others would be just because he got devoured by a beast. What mattered most was the mission he had to complete—he had other priorities.It would’ve been troublesome to ask for permission to leave the team, so he orchestrated the entire scenario to make it easier to slip away from Yue Xue and the others unnoticed.Once he completed his task, he could simply return to the Yue Empire and inform them that he was still alive.Ye Yuan used a special formation to allow his eyes to see the flow of energy—energy threads that would guide him to the major formation points.“Now it’s clear.” Ye Yuan gently patted the beast that was still loyally waiting by his side. “I need your help again, buddy.”The beast opened its mouth and swallowed Ye Yuan, tucking him inside. Then it dived into the ground, moving like a fish swimming through the ocean.Ye Yuan could control the beast’s direction at will, so he guided it along the path marked by the r

The thick fur covering its body suddenly expanded, then launched like countless spears. There were so many of them that the two were forced to stop, overwhelmed by the rain of fur spears.Seeing Ye Yuan being swallowed made Yue Tian Yu and Yue Xue lose focus.

In a situation like this, where attacks can come from any direction, we have to conserve our strength!”The battle might continue without pause, which was why Yue Xue prohibited using Battle Forms unless things got completely out of control.As Yue Xue and Yue Tian Yu continued fending off the beasts, dozens of formation papers suddenly shot past them from behind.The papers scattered in all directions.
