Chapter 334: Chapter 299 Ascending to the Immortal Realm! (4K)_2
Even stars cannot escape black holes.
Suddenly, a bundle of white light from the Immortal Realm enveloped Lu Changsheng and whisked him into the chaotic flows of space…
When the white light faded, Lu Changsheng had entered the Immortal Realm.
Surrounding him were pristine mountains and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers, groups of Immortal Cranes, not much different from the Mortal Realm, but Lu Changsheng could distinctly feel that the nature’s spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm was much purer, at least twice that of Mount Shu!
Mount Shu was a famous cultivation Holy Land in Xia State, where its Great Formation gathered nature’s spiritual energy from thousands of miles around, yet here in the wilderness, the density of the nature’s spiritual energy was already more than twice that of Mount Shu; in which case, how exaggerated would the spiritual energy be in the Immortal Realm’s Cave Heaven Blessed Lands?
In the Immortal Realm, even disciples from Mount Shu of the Golden Core Realm with mediocre aptitude could manage to cultivate to the Dao Palace Realm.
Release a dog into the Immortal Realm, and it might just cultivate; if it were a Three-Eyed Divine Canine like Daoist Earth Hound, it might even make it into the ranks of the Immortals.
“With such rich spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm, numerous powerhouses are born, I need to be extra careful to survive until achieving sainthood. Moreover, I must find a suitable disciple recognized by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator as soon as possible. Without taking on a disciple each day, I feel as if something is missing, my cultivation speed will also be greatly affected.”
Lu Changsheng concealed his aura, revealing only the cultivation of the Dao Palace Realm.
Only by making people in the Immortal Realm think he was a harmless Loose Cultivator could he survive.
Lu Changsheng took to Sword Flight, searching for signs of habitation.
A massive cityscape came into Lu Changsheng’s view, and carved on the plaque above the city gates were the characters for “Chongwu,” clearly the name of the city.
The city saw many cultivators coming and going on their swords, each with a formidable presence, including many Dao Palace Realm and Void Refinement Realm experts.
Excessively cautious, Lu Changsheng remained outside the city meditating for three days and nights without understanding the true state of the city; assessing the strength of the cultivators coming and going, he estimated the power within the city.
“In three days, only one Unity Realm expert entered the city, which suggests that even in the Immortal Realm, Unity and Void Refinement Realm experts are considered strong among mortals. However, it’s also possible that given the vast expanse of the Immortal Realm, Immortals are still a minority, and mortals are the majority. This is just an ordinary city after all, there shouldn’t be any presence inside that can threaten me. I can enter the city with confidence.”
Lu Changsheng, as an ascended powerhouse, began his journey already at the Earth Immortal Realm, while the natives of the Immortal Realm are still predominantly mortals.
Given the vastness of the Immortal Realm, an ordinary city is unlikely to be overseen by an Earth Immortal.
As a Loose Cultivator, Lu Changsheng entered Chongwu City without attracting any attention.
Lu Changsheng used his Soul Searching Skills, sending several strands of Divine Sense throughout the city to gather information about the Immortal Realm.
This place was originally a city under the Great Qian Dynasty, which a millennium ago, was established by an unrivaled genius who ascended from one of the three thousand minor worlds.
The Great Qian Dynasty began with just a few cities and later expanded to a powerful Immortal Dynasty with a hundred thousand cities and billions of subjects.
“The founder of the Great Qian Dynasty shares some similarities with the Empress of Great Martial, Wu Yue, whom I’ve met. Except that he has been a terrifying entity cultivating for millions of years, absolutely not someone to be provoked.”
After learning about the Martial Emperor’s history of the Great Qian Dynasty, Lu Changsheng thought of an old acquaintance.
Wu Yue once said that once she ascended to the Immortal Realm, she intended to unify it.
The Martial Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was an Earth Immortal a million years ago; after such a long time, his cultivation is unfathomable, one wonders to what realm he has reached, and whether he too has achieved Longevity?
Chongwu City is overseen by a City Protector dispatched by the Great Qian court, with the cultivation of Great Accomplishment in the Unity Realm.
In the Great Qian Dynasty, where strength is paramount, only when one steps into the Earth Immortal Realm can one be promoted to County Protector.
County Protectors are all Earth Immortal level experts without equal.
Strength is paramount, the iron law, within the Great Qian Dynasty, that even prestigious families must adhere to.
Within Chongwu City are three major families: the Xiao Family, Chen Family, and Zhao Family, among which the Chen and Zhao Families are the strongest, with Xiao being the weakest.
All three families have Unity Realm experts, but the Family Head of the Xiao Family holds the fifth layer of the Unity Realm, whereas the Family Heads of the Chen and Zhao Families respectively hold the eighth and seventh layers of the Unity Realm.
Although the Xiao Family is weaker, its influence within the city is not small, sharing Chongwu City’s business with the other two families.
Due to the fact that the eldest son of the Xiao Family is rumored to be betrothed to a Direct Disciple of the “Divine Lightning Sect,” the leading Sect of the Great Qian Dynasty, the other two families are wary of the Xiao’s connections, and even though there had been conflicts, each gave up ten percent of Chongwu City’s share to the Xiao Family.
Lu Changsheng, knowing the grudges of the three major families of Chongwu City, was unconcerned.
The affairs of the three major families of Chongwu City were irrelevant to him.
Even among the families of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Chongwu City’s three major families wouldn’t count as third rate, but they still had Unity Realm experts, which shows the abundance of talent in the Immortal Realm.
He must be even more careful.
“I wonder if Chongwu City has a suitable disciple?”
Lu Changsheng’s purpose was to find a suitable disciple in the Immortal Realm as soon as possible to use the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.
[Ding, the system has searched for a suitable disciple candidate… one has been found.]
[Ding, the system has identified a disciple candidate named Xiao Fan.]
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator suddenly rang with a notification, finally finding a suitable disciple!
Judging by the surname, could it be someone from Chongwu City’s Xiao Family?
Lu Changsheng decided to visit the Xiao Family’s estate to learn more.
With no Earth Immortals in Chongwu City, Lu Changsheng was undeniably the supreme presence in this city.
Even the joint forces of the three major families in Chongwu City were likely no match for him.
