Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

The Four Daluo Sabers!

They are linked to the source of this ancient land, allowing for the harnessing of its residual power.

Only now did everyone finally understand why such divine might was possible.

Repelling Xiao Ming and Yun Zheng was no accident.

Having survived the calamity, after a discussion, only two problems remained.

The first is departure, the second is the Spirit Realm!

"Yun Zheng, that old devil, and Xiao Ming left through the void, seemingly due to the Ancient Immortal Order. At the last moment, that giant stele apparition was bizarre to the extreme, as if it could protect them; when we leave, we can only rely on this Immortal Coffin!"

"Even if we know the anchor point of the Immortal Domain, the journey is bound to be fraught with peril!"

"They said the Ancient Immortals secured a great victory and now control the Immortal Domain. By now, we must all be considered part of the Demon Immortal faction."

Everyone turned their gaze to Xu Yang.

Before this, the line between Ancient Immortal and Demon Immortal mattered little.

All that mattered was becoming immortal.

But in the Immortal Domain, the distinction carries real consequence.

Xu Yang sighed, "I’m not too sure about these things either; we can only make plans after reaching the Immortal Domain!"

"In truth, judging by Xiao Ming and Yun Zheng’s actions, it won’t be so easy to become an Ancient Immortal, even if you wish to."

"The Ancient Immortal Order can manifest that stele apparition; I suspect the Ancient Immortals and that giant stele are closely connected. Xiao Ming and Yun Zheng possess the Ancient Immortal Order—one has a sixth-tier Immortal Foundation, the other a seventh-tier; yet all those who were ferried into immortality are left with first or second-tier low-level Immortal Foundations!"

At these words, everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.

Everyone was clear about the twelve tiers of Immortal Foundations.

"Doesn’t that mean that those who were ferried lost much of their potential; and seeking the Ancient Immortal Order is likely harder than reaching heaven itself!" Shi Feng muttered under his breath.

"Also, so many powerhouses fell on this ancient land, yet only two Ancient Immortal Orders exist; that alone shows how precious and rare they are!"

Zuo Shenzong added.

At this point, all could do was sigh.

Even if you desired to become an Ancient Immortal, the opportunity does not exist.

Ferrying?

Recall those who had betrayed and crossed over earlier—even Saint Monarch Nantian only gained a second-tier Immortal Foundation.

Could one say Saint Monarch Nantian was lacking in talent or potential?

If that were so, he could never have become one of the Spirit Realm’s Celestials!

Though weaker than Yun Zheng, no way would he be granted just a second-tier Immortal Foundation!

All of it was due to the ferrying!

"Once we reach the Immortal Domain, there will be a way."

"Besides, it may not be as difficult as we fear!"

Can Sutian solemnly said, "We are bound for the Immortal Domain regardless, but to return to the Spirit Realm and say our final farewells will not be so easy!"

This was the other problem.

Returning to the Spirit Realm to give their final explanations!

"No matter what, we have to try!" Shi Feng declared.

Yun Zheng and Xiao Ming had left because they had no other choice!

Now, with no more enemies here, so many clansmen and disciples still remain in the Spirit Realm—without a word of explanation, Shi Feng and Zuo Shenzong would find no peace.

"The Calamity Ghost Wind Sea shouldn’t pose much problem; a True Immortal can barely break through, and we have the Immortal Coffin!"

Cen Xinghou looked back at the continuous Ghost Wind Sea and said in a low voice,"Then let’s try."

"With the Immortal Coffin, I need not wield the Four Daluo Sabers; this will save some strength as well." Xu Yang nodded slightly.

To return to the Spirit Realm, he longed all the more!

In Daqian, there are still many friends and beloved ones.

Even in the worst-case scenario, he must leave behind something.

"Then let us depart now."

"Let’s go."

"Let the True Immortals control the Immortal Coffin!"

Once the decision was made, there was no hesitation in action.

All of them leapt into the Immortal Coffin.

From prior inheritance received within, they had mastered the Immortal Techniques, and even learned the full method to operate the Immortal Coffin.

A True Immortal now sat cross-legged within, both hands forming seals; rays of immortal light flowed, the seal skills danced like clouds and mist, striking into the four coffin walls.

Whoosh!

Brilliant golden immortal light erupted and blossomed, the Immortal Coffin suddenly trembled, soaring aloft.

Xu Yang stared in awe at all this.

The seal skill was extremely obscure and profound—his cultivation could hardly decipher it.

"It’s ready."

"With my power, I can operate it for several days; with our fourteen True Immortals, we can shuttle back and forth with ease!"

Saying this, he formed another seal.

The coffin walls grew transparent, allowing one to see the outside world clearly.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Coffin sped toward the Calamity Ghost Wind Sea, plunging straight in.

All around, the dim gray sea of ghost wind pressed in, but the coffin kept it utterly at bay.

This time, the Immortal Coffin was steered by a True Immortal; speed was several times faster than before.

In about half a month, they crossed the Calamity Ghost Wind Sea.

The previous land and abyss were wholly gone, drowned in endless void.

Luckily, the group hailed from the Spirit Realm and had some sense of the Spirit River’s location. Without this, finding the river would have been nigh impossible.

Several more days passed.

In the darkness, a river-like gleam of spirit light appeared before them.

"Found it."

"It’s the Spirit River!"

Within the Immortal Coffin, spirits were instantly lifted.

All felt a thrill as if returning home in glory.

But as the coffin approached, that excitement slowly dissipated, replaced by tension and unease.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

One by one, they flashed out from the coffin, nearing the Spirit River.

As soon as they approached, the river seemed to sense an unimaginably terrifying presence, or suffered invisible pressure, and was suddenly convulsed with violent tremors, shivering as though it were a living thing in mortal fear.

Everyone halted instantly!

Xu Yang sighed, "As expected, this won’t work!"

Now having transcended the Spirit Dao, even he, unascended to True Immortal, had long since transformed; a mere touch would likely shatter the Spirit River.

To return would spell ruin for the Spirit Realm!

"What now?"

"Perhaps we could shake the river, to draw our Martial Artists here."

"That might work!"

"Let’s discuss it first."

...

Xu Yang looked at everyone, "The force left by the Four Daluo Sabers can block the Calamity Ghost Wind Sea for about a thousand years. Before we depart, I can use the Four Daluo Sabers to carve a path through it—if they can reach here, passing the Calamity Ghost Wind will not be a problem."

"Yet we have already taken most of the opportunities here; the remaining immortal energy is, in truth, insufficient to let any newcomer truly ascend to True Immortal!"

"Moreover, as we depart, we must take the Immortal Coffin with us..."

At this, Xu Yang spread his hands, his expression helpless.

Without the Immortal Coffin, even a True Immortal would be hard-pressed to traverse the endless void to reach the Immortal Domain, let alone those yet below True Immortal.

Even if we leave ample information, the remaining power here may not suffice to birth a single True Immortal!

At this, all fell silent, complex expressions on their faces.

Shi Hu glanced at Stone Jade, suddenly patting her shoulder. "Luckily, we siblings both made it."

Stone Jade forced a bitter smile.

Gu Jun, too, was grateful for his choice then.

Having died once already, he yearned to challenge fate once more!

He never expected, it turned out to be a most wise decision.

Can Sutian suddenly said, "What must be done shall be done!"

"At worst, after we reach the Immortal Domain, we’ll record the route and occasionally come back to visit."

Hearing this, Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.

This, indeed, was a solution.

As long as there are anchor points, even if difficult, it will still be possible.

"Everyone, prepare. Record what information you can; let’s toss it into the Spirit River soon."

"As for the Immortal Techniques, no need to leave them here; instead, let’s hide clues in Beili Immortal Mountain for them to search in the future."

"Within the Spirit Realm, the Five Elements Celestial Realm and Star Nebula Infinite Sea are still formidable, but backups yet remain."

Can Sutian bared a smile.

Xu Yang looked astonished—Can Sutian still had more in reserve?

"Wuxiang Celestial Tomb also left some preparations; they should help," Cen Xinghou smiled.

Everyone exchanged glances, inwardly shocked.
