A Farmer's Journey To Immortality - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: 2nd World Unlocked- Martial World Sharang
Martial World Sharang—a world where martial arts thrived.

In this world, the art of martial prowess reigned supreme, shaping every facet of society and culture.

From bustling cities to remote villages nestled amidst misty mountains, the rhythm of martial moves echoed through the land, intertwining with the very essence of life itself.

In Sharang, martial arts were not merely a means of self-defense or physical exercise; they were a way of life, deeply ingrained in the traditions and beliefs of its people.

From a young age, children were taught ancient forms and techniques passed down through generations, honing their bodies and minds in the pursuit of mastery.

Sharang harbored many secrets and mysteries within itself. Hidden martial temples and secluded monasteries of fighting monks dotted the landscape, housing ancient scrolls and forbidden techniques guarded by enigmatic masters.

Yet, Sharang was not without its conflicts and struggles. Rival schools and factions vied for supremacy, each boasting its own unique style and philosophy. Honor and betrayal walked hand in hand, and alliances were forged and broken in the pursuit of power.

In this world where martial arts thrived, strength and discipline were revered above all else. A strict martial arts-based socioeconomic hierarchy was observed in every part of the world.

Those who were strong could claim various resources for themselves and obtain the best of what the world had to offer, while those who were weak could only struggle to survive.

Comparatively speaking, Martial World Sharang contained relatively fewer dangers than the Dandangar Cultivation World. This was because the martial artists of Sharang did not practice Spirit cultivation. Even the Martial Arts of the world were hugely limited when compared to the long and all-inclusive paths available for Spirit cultivation.

Even some of the most powerful martial artists from Sharang could only fight Foundation Building Experts from the Dadangar world.

Although the Foundation Build Experts were respected in the Dadangar five-kingdom subcontinent, they were nothing much when compared to Core Formation lords or Nascent Soul Kings.

In the Dadangar World past the five-kingdom subcontinent, it was also said that there existed 5th realm Spirit cultivators who were referred to as gods by the mortals and lower-level practitioners. Even thousands of Foundation Building Experts banding together would not be able to pose a challenge to the 5th realm Spirit cultivators.

The level of individual strength wielded by the Spirit cultivators when they crossed a certain threshold in their cultivation paths was unimaginable to think of for the people in Sharang. Even the Argent Body Martial Artists were considered a rare breed in Sharang. They lorded over their respective domains like kings and had thousands of subordinates under their command.

The power of influence wielded by the Argent Body Martial Artists was bigger than the one wielded by the Foundation Building Experts from Dadangar.

Compared to the Dadangar Cultivation World as a whole, the foundations of the Martial World Sharang were relatively weak. The path of martial arts ended at the Argent Body realm, which was the 2nd realm of body cultivation mentioned in the Qi Fusion Arts.

If any Core Formation Lord from Dadangar World were to visit this world, they would instantly become its sole ruler. After all, in Sharang, overwhelming might was not only respected but admired to the point of worship.

Serenity Peak was a city that was located in the Kowaal Kingdom within the Martial World Sharang.

It thrived as a bustling city nestled between towering peaks and lush forests.

Renowned for its vibrant martial arts culture, the city boasted numerous martial academies and training grounds scattered throughout its expanse.

At its heart stood the Grand Martial Hall, a magnificent structure hosting regular martial competitions and tournaments.

The streets of Serenity Peak bustled with life, lined with shops offering martial arts equipment, rare herbs, and mystical artifacts to cater to the needs of both aspiring disciples and seasoned masters.

While officially part of the Kowaal Kingdom ruled by the Kowaal royal dynasty, the true authority in Serenity Peak rested with a council of martial elders.

These elders upheld order among the various martial schools and organizations, ensuring harmony amidst occasional rivalries and disputes among the citizens.

Six months after Aksai had used the barrier-bypass talisman to breach the isolation barrier surrounding the Everwood farm, he found himself within Serenity Peak.

Adjusting to the world’s laws, language, and customs took some time for Aksai.

However, as a Spirit cultivator of considerable skill, he quickly adapted to new environments with ease.

Within just a few months of arriving in Sharang, Aksai achieved a level of proficiency in the native language that allowed him to blend in seamlessly.

Confident that he could pass as a native, he entered Serenity Peak and assumed a new identity, meticulously crafting a persona befitting an original denizen of Martial World Sharang.

How did Aksai manage this identity switch?

Money held immense power in Sharang, as it did in almost every world.

To Aksai’s delight, the currency in Martial World Sharang still consisted of mortal coinage.

In this realm, even a few gold and silver ingots represented a lifetime’s earnings for an ordinary practitioner.

With Spirit Essence scarce in Sharang’s atmosphere and no knowledge of Spirit cultivation, spirit stones were nonexistent. Instead, martial artists and mortals alike revered gold and silver as invaluable commodities.

Aksai swiftly gained recognition as a nouveau riche figure with an enigmatic background upon his arrival in Serenity Peak. Generating mortal wealth posed little challenge for a Spirit cultivator of his caliber.

Utilizing his considerable wealth, Aksai acquired a spacious palace situated in a secluded corner of Serenity Peak, providing him respite from the city’s hustle and bustle while maintaining access to its resources and amenities.

Aksai hired several maids and servants to look after the mundane affairs of the palace. He hired a batch of mortal farmers to help him cultivate some mysterious herbs planted in the palace’s spacious backyard.

In short, an ordinary Spirit farmer from the Dadangar Cultivation World found himself living like a prince in Martial World Sharang.
