NOVEL WEB Chapter 282: Immortal Realm Opens_2
Li Qian thought of another matter.
Back then, Emperor Chi Chi even gave him a rare book for this matter.
It was this rare book that allowed him to gain the Law of the Frosty Seed.
"Master, will this matter be difficult for you?"
Xingzhui asked.
After all, to retrieve a Refinement Returner from a force like Lihuo Palace was surely not that simple.
"Let's give it a try first."
Li Qian said.
After leaving the Divine Sword Sect's base, Li Qian directly went to the station of Lihuo Palace in Evergreen Immortal City.
Lihuo Palace's station looked quite grand and luxurious.
It was a vast expanse of connected buildings.
The senior members of Lihuo Palace and their families lived here.
Li Qian, with his identity as a servant disciple of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, easily found the Vice Palace Master of Lihuo Palace.
As for the Palace Master of Lihuo Palace, they weren't an Immortal Register Disciple but a servant disciple of another Daoist School.
Regarding the Vice Palace Master, they weren't even a servant disciple.
But even if not a servant disciple, they must have strong connections, deeply associated with that Immortal Register Disciple.
"May I know what brings you here, sir?"
The Vice Palace Master of Lihuo Palace warmly welcomed Li Qian, clasped his hands, and asked.
"Palace Master Chu, speaking of which, I have quite an affinity with Lihuo Palace. I used to be a Refinement Returner of Lihuo Palace, and later, was fortunate enough to pass the servant disciple selection of the Immortal Sect."
Li Qian said with a smile.
The Vice Palace Master was quite surprised.
"I've come this time simply to take away a Refinement Returner. May I know what the procedure would be?"
Li Qian explained his purpose.
Palace Master Chu of Lihuo Palace was not surprised upon hearing this; after all, the Refinement Returners from the Lower Realm were interconnected, and Li Qian, becoming a servant disciple, wanting to take away another Refinement Returner, was considered quite normal.
"Sir, under normal circumstances, it's actually very difficult to take away a Refinement Returner. The higher authorities have very strict inspections on this aspect, and Refinement Returners cannot leave the Returning Void Land. But... since you are a servant disciple of the Immortal Sect, it's a different matter."
Palace Master Chu thought for a moment and then said, "How about this? One Immortal Crystal for each Refinement Returner, this way I won't be under duress, and the higher authorities will be pleased – a win-win situation. What do you say?"
Is one Refinement Returner worth one Immortal Crystal?
Certainly not.
After all, it takes numerous Refinement Returners over a long period to create the wealth of a single Immortal Crystal.
If one Immortal Crystal could exchange for a Refinement Returner, it would be quite a lucrative deal.
Li Qian was quite speechless – it was really a lion's mouth.
However, he was already mentally prepared, as he only needed to retrieve one Refinement Returner.
As for the others...
It's temporarily unnecessary.
After all, the Refinement Returners of the Divine Sword Sect would either ascend or not ascend, and even staying in the Upper Realm wouldn't have much meaning.
Thus, Li Qian spent one Immortal Crystal and pulled out the Ancestor Emperor of the Eternal Royal Family from Lihuo Palace.
One day later.
Li Qian, with Xingzhui, returned to the base of Lihuo Palace.
Here, the two met the Ancestor Emperor of the Eternal Royal Family.
With white hair and resolute eyes.
This was the first time Li Qian saw the famous Ancestor Emperor in the Longevity Realm.
However, in this Upper Realm, the Ancestor Emperor seemed quite insignificant.
"Thank you, Daoist friend."
Wen Yuan of the Eternal Royal Family bowed respectfully.
He was merely in Returning Void Perfection.
While Li Qian before him was not only a Void Immortal level powerhouse but also a servant disciple of the Yuhua Immortal Sect – a disparity that was immeasurable.
"Daoist Wen, no need for courtesy."
Li Qian chuckled lightly.
"Ancestor."
Xingzhui also hurriedly bowed.
"Xingzhui, I truly didn't expect us to reunite in this Upper Realm."
Wen Yuan said with a light smile.
During Xingzhui's leadership over the Divine Sword Sect, despite the close ties with the Eternal Royal Family, it was merely official exchange between forces, completely disconnected from the initial plan that sent Xingzhui to the Divine Sword Sect, leaving Emperor Chi Chi quite mistaken.
Indeed, he was quite puzzled about how Xingzhui achieved Ascension.
After all, to ascend, apart from reaching Returning Void Perfection, one needed the Grotto Heaven and Half-Immortal Body.
Xingzhui could meet the first two requirements.
But how was the Half-Immortal Body accomplished?
Returning to the Divine Sword Sect's base.
"Daoist Wen, this is the situation. The Divine Sword Sect here corresponds to the Lower Realm's Divine Sword Sect. Although you have left Lihuo Palace, if you wish to stay in the Upper Realm with an identity, joining my Divine Sword Sect is the only option."
Li Qian said.
The Ancestor Emperor of the Eternal Royal Family pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "In the Upper Realm, there is no distinction between Divine Sword Sect and Eternal Royal Family. It's a rarity to find a place for Longevity Realm cultivators to settle. Greetings, Sect Leader."
In the end, Wen Yuan bowed respectfully.
Thus, the Upper Realm Divine Sword Sect had two members.
One was Xingzhui, and the other was Wen Yuan.
Li Qian left behind some cultivation resources for Xingzhui and then departed the Divine Sword Sect's base.
Of course, he only left ordinary cultivation resources, not Immortal Crystals.
After all, he was also short on those at the moment.
...
More than a year later.
Li Qian was cultivating in his Immortal Mansion when he suddenly received a message from his master via paper kite.
In over a year of cultivation, he had successfully reached the second level of Earth Immortal.
This speed was terrifying.
Of course, it was mainly because he absorbed Immortal Spirit Qi daily and was constantly in an Enlightenment State.
With this speed of cultivation, he had no doubt that perhaps in fifty or sixty years, he could reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Upon arriving at the Great Hall, Li Qian noticed two uncles and the senior brother were present.
Normally, the three were rarely seen.
The two uncles, one named He Kun, was said to be at the sixth level of Earth Immortal.
Yet remained stuck, unable to break through.
Moreover, Uncle He, like the master, was also from the Longevity Realm as a Refinement Returner.
The other Uncle Tian, although also from the descendants of Longevity Realm Refinement Returners, was born in the Upper Realm.
Her cultivation was slightly less, roughly at the fourth level of Earth Immortal.
The senior brother's cultivation was at the third level of Earth Immortal.
Regarding the cultivation of the other disciples of Luoyuan Taoist School, most were between the fifth and twelfth level of Void Immortal.
In Li Qian's impression, it was rare for Luoyuan Taoist School's people to gather more than once a year, estimating something important was happening.
"The Eclosion Immortal Realm, which opens every three hundred years, will open in three months, and even servant disciples are eligible to enter. For all disciples and followers, it's considered an excellent opportunity."
Tianlan Hall Master spoke.
"Master, I heard there are Heavenly Immortal opportunities within the Eclosion Immortal Realm?"
Third Brother Chang Yu eagerly asked.
"Not to mention Heavenly Immortal opportunities, even Profound Immortal or Golden Immortal opportunities exist..."
Tianlan Hall Master chuckled lightly, "However, such opportunities are hard to come by, and even if they do appear, the competition will be fierce. To obtain them is like ascending to heaven."
Having entered the Eclosion Immortal Realm multiple times, apart from minor opportunities, he hadn't even seen a Heavenly Immortal opportunity...
So he hadn't even contemplated obtaining Heavenly Immortal opportunities from the Eclosion Immortal Scripture.
"Many of you have never entered the Eclosion Immortal Realm, so you need to remember certain important matters. The Eclosion Immortal Realm is not safe; there are risks from various sources. Not just from fellow disciples, but also unknown ones. Each time the Eclosion Immortal Realm opens, numbers of personnel casualties appear. It includes not just servant disciples, but also Immortal Register Disciples, just as during my first entrance into the Eclosion Immortal Realm – a Master of Profound Immortal Mansion mysteriously disappeared..."
Tianlan Hall Master said solemnly.
Then he conveyed detailed instructions.
Such as avoiding misty areas and refraining from rushing after opportunities beyond your strength... In summary, ensuring personal safety is the most important.
"Master, will everyone in the Immortal Sect enter during this opening of the Eclosion Immortal Realm?"
Li Qian curiously asked.
If everyone entered, wouldn't the outside be empty?
"Yes, but it's divided into time segments. Each opening lasts approximately three months, and everyone can stay inside for a maximum of ten days. Once ten days lapse, they will be transmitted out. Moreover, each entrance is randomly allocated by drawing lots from above."
Tianlan Hall Master responded.
Li Qian found it reasonable.
Everyone could only stay for ten days, plus the random allocation by drawing lots – this way, the disciples entering the Immortal Realm would have staggered times.
