Immortal From The Red Dragon Mountain Range, History Of The National Dynasty

After walking for around an hour, Lin Xuanhao finally reached the small village.

It was almost evening, with the sun beginning to set as many children playing around started to run back to their homes while the shopkeepers and farmers could be seen going back to their homes from time to time again.

There were not many people in this village, less than 300 including the children.

As Lin Xuanhao stepped closer to the entrance of the village, one of the children packing up there noticed him.

"Mama, look, that person is so good looking!"

The child called out to his mother who had come to pick him up and, following his gaze, noticed Lin Xuanhao as well.

Seeing his handsome face and extraordinary bearing, she was momentarily stunned before she leaned down to the child's height and said softly, "Feng'er, Go and tell your grandfather that a prestigious persona has arrived."

The little boy immediately understood and hurriedly left to inform his grandfather.

Seeing this scene from a distance away, Lin Xuanhao seemed to remember something and his gaze softened. He stood there at the entrance and didn't enter the village abruptly, hands behind his back.

Soon after, more than 10 people arrived at the village entrance from inside, including the woman and her son from before.

The person leading them was an old man, seemingly in his twilight years but holding a sharp glint in his brows. He had a crane to support him.

Lin Xuanhao instantly realized that this old man must have been quite an adventurous person back in his youth. Yet, he didn't consider this man "old" at all.

No one could claim to be old in front of him, even though he was the youngest Immortal Emperor.

The old man stepped forward and asked with a hint of vigilance, "May I ask why the esteemed lord has come to my Liu Family Village?"

Lin Xuanhao, not wishing to put on airs, replied in a calm tone of voice, "Village Head Liu, I wish to stay at your village for some time, 3 days at most. I'm a Body Forging Realm cultivator and can not only provide protection from the Iron Fang Brigade, but I can also impart cultivation techniques to your people. How about that? If you're still not willing, then I'll leave and not trouble you anymore."

He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point, placing his conditions in front of them.

He guessed that this old man was the head of the Liu Family Village, and in the confrontation earlier, he had learned that the Iron Fang Brigade had been terrorizing people here for over the last 2 years.

Not just that, he only asked to stay for 3 days, as that would be enough time for him to breakthrough to the Meridian Connecting Realm.

He could sense that the next Dao Fragment was in this Mortal World and even a general direction of where it was, but with his low cultivation right now, it would be a lot more troublesome if he came into contact with the Immortal Cultivation World.

It was better to stay in the secular mortal world till he had at least reached the Meridian Connecting Realm.

However, the 9 or so other villagers had strange expressions on their faces as they looked at Lin Xuanhao.

Don't tell me these villagers don't know of the Body Forging Realm too?

Lin Xuanhao criticized in his heart.

"Body Forging Realm? Protecting us from the Iron Fang Brigade? How more ridiculous can you b—"

Just as a villager was about to finish speaking, Village Head Liu abruptly stopped him, extending his weak arm to the side.

His expression was completely different from that of the others.

There was both surprise and fear, including even a hint of reverence in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xuanhao.

"B-Body Forging Realm, you say..?"

Immediately, Village Head Liu kneeled on the ground, pressing his forehead on the surface. His actions stunned every villager, and even Lin Xuanhao was slightly taken aback.

"I often heard legends in my childhood that the Red Dragon Mountain Range used to be the abode of Immortals over a hundred years ago, and although I expected it to be true after witnessing that event, I never even thought in my wildest dreams that a young Immortal would come to experience the secular world starting with my village.

Deity, please forgive the earlier rudeness of both me and my village!"

Village Head Liu exclaimed loudly while still pressing his head on the ground.

The words that came out of his mouth stunned all the villagers, including the many nearby people going back to their homes.

Lin Xuanhao couldn't help but be surprised again.

Body Forging Realm an Immortal?

So exaggerated?

He questioned inwardly.

"There's no need for such formality, please. I just need to stay here for 3 days."

Lin Xuanhao said calmly before leaning down and helping Village Head Liu up.

"Go and quickly prepare the most spacious house in the village!"

Village Head Liu shouted at the villager who was speaking rudely before, causing the latter to hurriedly run back and do as he said.

"Deity, please come and stay in my house till then!"

With that, Lin Xuanhao decided to stay in the Liu Family Village for some time.

In the meantime, he got to know many things about the history of the Liu Family Village and the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

Village Head Liu actually used to be the commander of the guards of the nearby Prefecture City more than 50 years ago. At that time, the Liu Family Village did not exist.

He had heard legends of Immortals at the Red Dragon Mountain Range, but he never actually believed that Immortals existed.

That was until one day, when a rebellion took place in the Barren Northern Lands and the rebel army was sweeping through all the Prefectures.

The rebel army breached the Prefecture City of Village Head Liu, and with the reinforcements from the Capital still on its way, he couldn't do anything about it.

But shortly afterwards, multiple individuals arrived, standing on flying swords and sweeping through thousands of rebels on their own.

There was no doubt about it. Those were the Immortals.

However, the rebel army also had Immortals aiding them for some reason, and in one such confrontation between two Immortals, Village Head Liu went by unnoticed. Perhaps he had been noticed, but the Immortals simply didn't care.

He then heard the Immortal from the dynasty's side shouting at the other Immortal from the rebels' side.

This scene was still extremely vivid in Village Head Liu's mind.

"Lu Jian, you're barely a peak Body Forging Realm junior and yet you dare to scheme against the National Dynasty decided on by the Immortal Sect! You're simply courting death!"

Village Head Liu didn't hear anything after that as there were countless loud explosions and structures collapsing, but he understood one thing.

Everyone was just a pawn in the Immortals' game!

The National Dynasty could change surnames overnight by the will of the Immortal Sect!

After the rebellion was quelled, Village Head Liu directly gave away all his properties, abandoned his status, and took away his 6 wives and over 20 children to establish the Liu Family Village.

It has been over five decades since then. His wives have already passed away, and his descendents who go to venture out into the world always come back with their own descendents, constantly increasing the population of the village.

At this moment, Lin Xuanhao sat cross-legged in a grandiose house, not big enough to be called a mansion, but also not small enough to be called a house.

He took in everything he learned from Village Head Liu.

It seems the standard of Immortal Cultivation has become quite high that even a Body Forging Realm cultivator seems like an Immortal to mortals. I wonder if it's just in this Mortal World or other worlds too?

He thought silently.

Shaking his head, he started to cultivate and refine the Dao Fragment.

This Dao Fragment could allow his cultivation to recover by quite a bit up to the peak of Foundation Building Realm, but after that, he will have to absorb the next Dao Fragment to progress further.

He decided to cultivate for some time and breakthrough to the Second Stage of Body Forging Realm before sleeping.

His body needed rest as of now too without his cultivation base and Providence.

If he cultivated for 12 hours straight, he might be able to reach the Fourth or Fifth Stage of Body Forging Realm, but that was left for the next day.

After a few hours.

The moon shone brightly in the night sky, and rumbles sounded from within Lin Xuanhao's body, but they were all confined within the house.

He had reached the Second Stage of Body Forging Realm!

Feeling refreshed, he looked at the moon hanging high and realized it was late at night now.

Standing up straight, he stretched slightly again and then went to bed.
