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

Chapter 63: What? Zhao Min’s Immortal Fate Came from Bai Chen?

“He is the monstrous genius Bai Chen?”

“Who is Bai Chen? Is he famous in the Ming Empire’s martial world?”

“I’m from the Ming Empire, and even I’ve never heard of him!”

As Shangguan Haitang recounted Bai Chen’s past, the surrounding martial artists quickly learned bits and pieces about him. Yet, most of them still wore expressions of confusion.

Even some warriors from the Ming martial world had never heard of Bai Chen before. Only those who had previously encountered Bai Chen were left utterly shaken.

“No wonder!”

“I was wondering why he had gone back to Qixia Town!” Lu Xiaofeng murmured in disbelief.

He met Bai Chen two years ago, and still remembered his shock upon seeing him for the first time.

A young man with no background whatsoever, who had already reached mid-stage Grandmaster Realm of Celestial Phenomena at twenty-two was fantastic.  Lu Xiaofeng had never witnessed such raw talent before. That being said, their encounters had been few and brief. He had last heard of Bai Chen in a tavern, where someone mentioned that Bai Chen had returned to Qixia Town six months ago.

At the time, Lu Xiaofeng had considered paying him a visit. Bai Chen’s potential was terrifying. Hence, it would have been a waste for him to stay hidden away in a small town.

Now that he had seen Bai Chen again, everything suddenly made sense. Bai Chen was the first person in the Five Great Empires to obtain an immortal inheritance. That was why he had left the martial world behind, to focus entirely on cultivation.

The moment Lu Xiaofeng thought of this, he fully believed it.

Otherwise—

How else could Bai Chen have become this powerful?

…………………………………………………………………………………

“But even so, Bai Chen’s talent is far too terrifying!”

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, letting out a bitter laugh. He had never denied Bai Chen’s raw ability. Even without any background or support, Bai Chen had reached the Grandmaster Realm of Celestial Phenomena at twenty-one. But to reach his current level after just six months of immortal cultivation suggested  only two possibilities—

Either Lu Xiaofeng had completely underestimated Bai Chen’s talent or Bai Chen’s inheritance was far beyond what anyone could imagine.

And yet, the fact that Bai Chen was here meant that the Profound Heaven Sword Sect still held value for him. This meant that his own immortal inheritance might not have been as supreme as it seemed.

Perhaps, Bai Chen’s monstrous growth wasn’t because of his inheritance— But simply because his talent was beyond comprehension.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“Ximen, your greatest opponent has arrived.”

Nearby, Sikong Zhaixing shot Bai Chen a wary glance before turning to Ximen Chuixue. To Sikong Zhaixing, Bai Chen was frightening. After all, he had once been defeated by Bai Chen himself. Unlike Bai Zhantang who had encountered Bai Chen when he was still at Finger Profundity Realm Sikong Zhaixing had faced Bai Chen when he was already a Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena. The outcome had been disastrous for him. Had Lu Xiaofeng and others not intervened, he might not even be alive today.

“So you’ve finally come…”

Ximen Chuixue’s sword aura flared violently. He had once fought Bai Chen before. Back then, he hadn’t taken Bai Chen too seriously.Yet, Bai Chen’s swordsmanship had caught his attention. That day, Ximen Chuixue had made up his mind—

Given enough time, Bai Chen will become my true rival.

But even he had not expected Bai Chen to reach this level in just two years.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“You’re no longer a match for him.”

Hua Manlou shook his head and said gently. Although blind, his senses were sharp beyond measure. He could feel the sheer terror that was Bai Chen.

“And what of it?”

“As long as I can still hold my sword, I will never lose.”

Ximen Chuixue was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly. He was well aware that he could not defeat Bai Chen. But he did not wish to compete in cultivation or raw power. What he sought was the pure mastery of the sword. And in the Dao of the Sword, he would never allow himself to be defeated.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“So you do know him.”

A short distance away, Li Xunhuan smiled faintly.

He had met Bai Chen once before.

And from that single encounter, he knew Bai Chen was a monster in human form. At first, he had wondered why Bai Chen was not here. Without any warning, he had arrived in the most spectacular fashion.

“Big Brother!”

“You’ve met Bai Chen before?”

Standing beside him, A Fei, gazed up at Bai Chen with deep admiration. He was a pure swordsman who lived for power. And Bai Chen who had defeated the Demoness Wanwan with a single glance was the closest thing to absolute power he had ever seen.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“Hey!”

“You’re Bai Chen, right?”

At that moment, a female voice rang out.

Zhao Min had suddenly appeared beside him.

Her expression was… complex.@@novelbin@@

She did not understand—

Bai Chen is from the Ming Empire.

Then why was he in the Yuan Empire when she had met him?

Knowing that Bai Chen was far stronger than herself

Zhao Min couldn’t help but question:

Did he really just “accidentally” drop that jade pendant?

…………………………………………………………………………………

“You knew all along, didn’t you?”

“The jade pendant you left behind contained an immortal inheritance.”

“So why did you give it to me?”

“Don’t say it was an accident.”

“Even if I can’t see through your strength, you are at least late-stage Qi Transformation.”

“A cultivator of your level would never lose something so precious by mistake.”

Zhao Min’s eyes locked onto Bai Chen’s, searching for an answer. Even she didn’t fully understand what she wanted him to say.

…………………………………………………………………………………

“What?”

“I must have misheard…”

“Princess Shaomin only obtained an immortal inheritance because of Bai Chen?”

“But they don’t even seem close. Why would he give her such a thing?”

The warriors below erupted in disbelief.

Even Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, both immortal cultivators, looked utterly shocked.

After all—

Who in their right mind would willingly give away an immortal inheritance?
