A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: I Have a Hollow Willow Branch

Reincarnated into the Ye family of the Great Jin royal house in the Human Realm, he possessed a special constitution, the Nine-Spirit Sword Body. Sword cultivation techniques and divine abilities came twice as easily to him, and with Dual Spiritual Roots of metal and wood, he was a little prodigy. With his clan's support, Ye Chen cultivated smoothly all the way to the Core Formation Stage. But he couldn't keep his hands to himself and insisted on adding an unknown willow twig to his life-bound flying sword. Then a branch of the Primordial Void Heart Willow drained his cultivation, knocking him down to the Qi Refining Stage and randomly teleporting him to the Blood-Colored Forbidden Zone of Tiannan. Looking at the two Spirit Beast Mountain disciples Han Li had just dealt with, Ye Chen couldn't help but ponder a serious question: how could he leave the Blood-Colored Forbidden Zone without the Core Formation elders of the seven sects mistaking him for a spy and slapping him to death? (This story features merchant caravans, dungeon adventures, and sword cultivation. He grows stronger by relying on the spatial abilities of his life-bound flying sword and the information gap between regions of the cultivation world.)
