Chapter 117: Quota for Entering the Immortal Realm

This response surprised Jiang Cheng. "Is it hard to enter the Void Immortal Realm?" "It’s not that it’s hard to enter, it’s that it’s impossible to find." Lan Ti sighed, "The Void Immortal Realm is hidden within the void, its location constantly shifting, and even if found, specific magical treasures are needed to open the entrance." "What kind of magical treasure? Could it be the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron?" Lan Ti looked speechless. "How could it be? If the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron were that powerful, it would have been taken by other sacred lands hundreds of years ago—it wouldn’t have come to us." She continued, "To find the Void Immortal Realm, you need to gather the nine inheritance treasures of the Nine Tribes of the Immortal Remnant Race." "And to open the entrance to the Void Immortal Realm, those nine treasures must also work together." Jiang Cheng immediately understood: "Those nine magical treasures were left by the nine immortals who descended back then?" "Exactly." Lan Ti nodded. "Before they left, each left behind an inheritance treasure, and the Bone Refining Banner of my Witch Division is one of them." Jiang Cheng asked with interest, "What grade is this treasure?" Lan Ti proudly said, "The Bone Refining Banner is a top-grade magical treasure that can forcibly plant a curse seal on an enemy across a great realm. If I could wield it, I would fear nothing even in the Ascending to Saint Realm!" Although Jiang Cheng didn’t quite understand witchcraft, he knew what it meant to surpass a great realm. Top-grade magical treasures are, indeed, different. "Aren’t you the clan leader? You’re the highest in the Witch Division. Isn’t the Bone Refining Banner in your possession?" Mentioning this, Lan Ti immediately became downcast. "Three million years ago, the then clan leader of the Witch Division was swayed by outsiders, tricking the Bone Refining Banner away, and it has never been reclaimed since." Acts of murder and treasure-snatching happen every day in the cultivation realm, leaving Jiang Cheng at a loss for words. "My condolences." My condolences, you say? Is that how you speak? Lan Ti, who was initially a bit sad, almost collapsed because of him. "Without the Bone Refining Banner, our Witch Division lost not only a powerful weapon but also had its inheritance incomplete, causing our decline." "So you keep mentioning the Three-Eyed Tiger, hoping it would help you reclaim the Bone Refining Banner?" "No, the thief who took the Bone Refining Banner is now a Saint Tier existence..." Lan Ti regretfully shook her head, "Senior Demon King, having crossed domains, is already suppressed by the rules and cannot reclaim it." "I was initially hoping for Senior Three-Eyed Tiger to help me acquire the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron." "Luckily, it’s already been obtained." Jiang Cheng curiously said, "What use is the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron?" Listening to her, it seemed the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron was of a lower tier and unrelated to the Void Immortal Realm. "After the nine immortals ascended back, the Nine Tribes of the Immortal Remnant Race once jointly opened the Void Immortal Realm and entered it." "And then? Did they ascend?" "No, a lot of tribal members died during that entry." Jiang Cheng was startled, "Was there an enemy inside?" "No, it’s just that the Void Immortal Realm is between the Immortal Realm and the Lower Realm, with very unstable space and disordered rules. Without the protection of the nine great magical treasures, none might have survived." Lan Ti added, "They only entered that once. After the departure of the nine immortal ancestors, the tribal members gradually developed conflicts, leading to different fates and never cooperating to open it again." Jiang Cheng finally understood completely. "You want the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron to rely on the power of faith inside it to protect you when entering the Void Immortal Realm?" "Yes, the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron, with its bestowed fortune, can offset most of the erosion from the power of rules." Now that she has obtained this Treasure Cauldron, her goal is fulfilled. The next step is to wait for the Void Immortal Realm to open and then enter it. "But didn’t you say the Bone Refining Banner was taken? How can the Immortal Remnant Race gather all nine magical treasures to open the Void Immortal Realm?" According to her, without gathering the nine magical treasures, the Void Immortal Realm cannot even be located. Mentioning this, Lan Ti coldly said, "The thief who took the Bone Refining Banner knows this secret. He has been secretly contacting the other eight tribes over the years, and they’ve already agreed." "Counting the days, there’s less than a year left until they open the entrance." Jiang Cheng wanted to say, if that person stole the treasure from your Witch Division, he should be an enemy, so how could the other tribes cooperate with him? But then again, it’s an opportunity to become an immortal. Without the Bone Refining Banner, the other eight tribes of the Immortal Remnant Race with their eight magical treasures are useless. And without those eight magical treasures, holding the Bone Refining Banner is also useless. People on both sides might have been stuck in the Saint Tier for millions of years, ultimately having no choice but to cooperate. "You’re still in the Daoist Palace Realm, far from the Saint Tier. Even if you can enter the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t you still be at the bottom?" "The Immortal Realm isn’t all immortals; those immortals have descendants. If they can survive, so can I!" Lan Ti’s eyes were resolute. In any case, cultivating in the Immortal Realm is certainly much better than in the Lower Realm. "You tell me these things, are you inviting me to enter together?" "Yes, this chance might be lost forever if missed. The Four-direction Primordial Cauldron is ultimately just a lower-grade magical treasure and can only protect three people at most. The power of fortune inside the Treasure Cauldron needs Ningti to activate, so there’s one spot left." She smiled, "You can ascend with us." Jiang Cheng couldn’t understand this girl. She doesn’t want to be one of ’her own,’ but seems to treat him quite well. If this third spot were offered to the public, many would go crazy for it, agreeing to any condition. And yet, she’s giving it to him? Actually, Jiang Cheng might not need magical treasure protection to enter the Void Immortal Realm. If worst comes to worst, he can die once after entering, and let the system solve the rest. But he could still feel Lan Ti’s good intentions. "So what are your plans next?" He didn’t immediately decline her goodwill. "I’ll go back to the Witch Division first, what about you?" "I also need to return to the Feixian Sect; you know I’m the sect leader, and there are many things to handle." "Alright, there’s still quite some time until the opening day; I’ll come find you then." Watching her gradually disappearing figure, Jiang Cheng turned around. Activating the transmission, with a flash, he appeared directly at the Feixian Sect. Level 4 teleportation is unbelievably convenient. "Sect Leader!" "The Sect Leader is back!" "He didn’t return with that Princess Ningti, did he?" The disciples happily flew over. Jiang Cheng noticed how much their realms had changed in just a few days. All the Second Generation Elders had advanced to the Soul Splitting Realm. All the Third Generation Disciples had reached the Gathering Yuan Realm. Lin Ning had reached the Spirit Platform Eighth Layer, while Ji Linghan had broken through the bottleneck of the Celestial Fate Realm, reaching the First Layer. Checking the system records, it was evident that they earned advancement points during this time. Especially Ji Linghan, who gave 300,000 points upon breaking through. Even with the support of the Feixian Sect’s Level 5 Spirit Vein and an abundance of pills and spirit stones, their progress was still a miracle. Cultivation with only spiritual power and no realm comprehension would only be stagnant. He glanced at Elder Mo Chen, who was smiling while stroking his smooth beard, realizing it was undoubtedly his doing. Having an immortal guide a group of low-tier cultivators in the lower realm is truly a luxury."
