Chapter 665 - 338: The Immortal Sect Arrives
Spirit Bones in any quantity, a Body Refining Technique that allows mortals to reach Entry Grade within a month, and the accompanying medicinal bath materials.
Foundation Establishment Pills needed by Qi Cultivation Practitioners.
Lifespan Extension Pills for those nearing the end of their lives.
There were even unheard-of "Golden Core Pills" that could also help Foundation Establishment Cultivators successfully form their Golden Core!
And "Nascent Soul Pills" to help Golden Core Cultivators shatter their cores and form a Nascent Soul!
As long as the value of the sacrificed resources was high enough, one had enough Points, and a high enough Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal Level, all of these could be redeemed!
Even as the five of them considered the impact these rules would have on the Cultivation Immortality Realm, they couldn’t help but be drawn to the Nascent Soul Pills!
They, too, wanted to Promote to the Nascent Soul Stage!
And recorded after that was another passage—items for Refining the Spirit and Returning to Void, Refining Void and Merging with the Dao, and Crossing the Tribulation to Become Immortal were also available in abundance!
Shatter the Core, form a Nascent Soul—a thousand-year lifespan!
Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation—a three-thousand-year lifespan!
Refining the Spirit and Returning to Void—a six-thousand-year lifespan!
Refining Void and Merging with the Dao—a ten-thousand-year lifespan!
And the final step, Crossing the Tribulation to Become Immortal, was eternal life!
Who could possibly turn their back on eternal life?
Similarly, the Foundation Establishment Disciples transcribing this content couldn’t suppress their excitement when they saw the Golden Core Pills, copying with feverish excitement.
They had never imagined that the Profound Origin Secret Realm would undergo such a change, or that it would be related to Immortals!
Time ticked by, second by second, as people both inside and outside the passage waited anxiously.
Outside the Ice Cave, a bitter wind howled and snowflakes drifted down, as if telling the story of this mysterious land. The five Immortal Sect leaders, aware of the gravity of the situation, took the transcribed booklets and gave the Inner Sect Disciples a stern warning:
"Guard the entrance and exit well. Keep your mouths shut about what shouldn’t be said! Forbid anyone from entering or leaving! If anyone dares to stir up trouble, kill them on the spot!"
"Yes!" The Foundation Establishment Disciples from the Five Great Immortal Sects all cupped their fists and complied. Their hearts were filled with tension, knowing full well the immense significance of this change to the Secret Realm.
During this process, from within the Realm of Dominator’s space in the Hall of Ten Thousand Races, Cheng Zongyang was closely monitoring the developing situation in territory number two.
’I know that the rules I’ve established will have a major impact on the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm. It all depends on how the various powers of the Cultivation Immortality Realm respond, and whether the people from the Five Great Immortal Sects can resist the temptation to make offerings.’
’If they can resist the temptation and completely lock down the passage entrance, barring entry to ordinary people, Martial Artists, Loose Cultivators, various families, and faction forces, it would mean they are completely blocking the path of advancement for the lower-class powers, common folk, and ordinary Cultivators.’
’When the people at the bottom see this rare chance for promotion get cut off, the consequences will be... unpredictable.’
’Of course, if they try to block the news, I’ll spread it myself. After all, this is my domain; it’s not their place to impose a blockade.’
’In that case, the Cultivation Immortality Realm might just be in for an even greater upheaval.’
He looked forward to seeing how people would behave under the new rules. Of course, this territory number two was also something of a test site for his rules. If there were problems with them, he would simply abolish or revise them.
Sect Disciples stood guard on both sides of the passage. But after the five Golden Core Cultivators left, the Sect-exclusive Teleportation Array in Ice City soon welcomed even more Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, as well as a large number of Qi Cultivation Disciples from the Five Great Immortal Sects.
On the streets of Ice City, people stopped in their tracks to watch, their hearts filled with confusion and unease.
They didn’t know what had happened. After all, only the upper echelons of the Immortal Sects were aware of the rule changes within the Secret Realm. The disciples who transcribed the information had been given a gag order, so nothing had been leaked.
A large number of Immortal Sect Qi Cultivation Disciples from the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels quickly gathered near the Ice Cave. While awaiting orders, they also dispersed the Loose Cultivator factions, Martial Artists, and ordinary people.
The Ice Cave was now completely under the control of the Five Great Immortal Sects!
Finally, after a long wait that felt like an eternity, two hours passed. The invisible barrier slowly dissipated, and the passage was once again clear.
At first, no one noticed. It was only when the disciples outside heard sounds coming from within the Secret Realm that they realized the barrier in the passage had vanished.
The Sect Disciples on guard immediately sent a sound transmission to report up the chain of command.
A moment later, the Golden Core Cultivators from the Five Great Immortal Sects came in, leading all the disciples.
The leading Golden Core Cultivators and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind them all made an attempt to enter.
They discovered that they still couldn’t pass through. Even when one of them used a Secret Technique to seal their Cultivation, they were unable to enter. It was exactly the same as before.
So, they had the Qi Cultivation Disciples try. This time, just like the ordinary people and Martial Artists before them, these Qi Cultivation Disciples passed through the passage without any obstruction and entered the Realm of Ten Thousand Races.
This scene made all the higher-ups of the Five Great Immortal Sects grow excited!
’The rules in the manual are real!’
Next, the Sect Disciples, having received their orders and tasks, eagerly surged into the passage and entered the Realm of Ten Thousand Races. They began to take control of the entire transformed safe zone.
Cheng Zongyang stood in the space of the Realm of Dominator, watching the Sect Disciples’ actions with a slight nod.
’It’s all starting!’
’Now let’s see who will be the first to give in to the temptation of making an offering.’
The Qi Cultivation Disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sects stepped into the Realm of Ten Thousand Races, their hearts a mix of nervousness and excitement.
The very air here seemed to be permeated with a mysterious aura, making them feel both curious and a little uneasy. They had only been ordered to gather quickly in Ice City, receiving their mission afterward.
They advanced cautiously, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings.
Within the safe zone, set among rows of simple, ancient earthen huts, were two rooms.
Inside each of these mysterious altar rooms, a tall Divine Statue stood silently. Below the Divine Statue was a simple, stone platform that exuded an ancient, weathered air. Faint light flickered within the room, as if recounting the ancient stories the Divine Statue carried.
