Chapter 465 The Great Wilderness Immortal Realm

The boundless sea divides the world into eight directions.

The area where Ning Qi and the others were located was in the easternmost part of the Boundary Sea.

Within this boundary sea lies a unique fairyland, known as the Great Wilderness Fairyland.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Realm is the most powerful force in this realm sea, and it is also the remnant power scattered in this realm sea after the former Heavenly Realm collapsed.

The existence of the fairyland serves two purposes: first, to provide all immortals with a suitable place to live; and second, to resist the invasion of the boundary sea and protect all living beings.

However, as countless years passed, the fairyland never regained its former glory and splendor.

With the ever-expanding nature of the Boundary Sea, they have long been unable to protect all living beings and can only choose to focus on their own well-being.

Within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, there is a special place called the Immortal Selection Pavilion.

The Immortal Selection Pavilion is responsible for checking whether there are still immortals in the lower realm, and then bringing them into the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.

Since the establishment of the Immortal Realm, there has been a specific process for becoming an immortal.

For cultivators in the lower realms to become immortals, they must be recognized by the immortal realm before they are considered qualified to enter it.

Of course, after the Immortal Realm fell apart, the remaining Immortal Realm inherited the rules of the past.

The so-called lower realm of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm is naturally the Far Eastern Boundary Sea where Ning Qi and others are located.

The Immortal Selection Pavilion in the Great Wilderness Wonderland retains an ancient Immortal Selection Inheritance Channel, where two True Immortals reside permanently.

These two True Immortals can then decide whether people from the lower realms are qualified to enter the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.

The two True Immortals stationed at the Immortal Selection Pavilion rotate every ten years.

The two people who have been stationed here for nearly ten years are Li Donglin and Han Song.

In the past, when the fairyland was at its most glorious, serving in the Immortal Selection Pavilion was a highly coveted position. Not to mention true immortals, even celestial immortals would fight for it.

First, they can replenish the personnel of their palace. If they encounter a celestial being or a celestial talent, it will greatly enhance the power of their palace.

Secondly, those who become immortals often possess great fortune and must have many treasures.

So, as the one who brought them into the immortal sect, perhaps they can get a share.

Of course, the word "division" is quite intriguing, with its intricacies and complexities no less sophisticated than those of the imperial court in the mortal world.

Some were assigned voluntarily, while others were not.

Some wisely chose to leave after the fact, while others, lacking pragmatism, ended up with neither people nor money.

Of course, if one encounters a celestial being who has obtained some powerful inheritance, then no one would dare to touch them.

Because behind those inheritances often lies the presence of powerful forces or immortals in the upper realm.

Nowadays, no one in the Immortal Selection Pavilion of the Great Wilderness Wonderland is vying for this position anymore.

Times have changed, and now only two True Immortals remain stationed there, and they are True Immortals of the middle third rank or below.

Li Donglin and Han Songzhu sat cross-legged inside the Xuanxian Pavilion.

The two have been stationed at the Immortal Selection Pavilion for ten years, and after this year, they will be rotated out.

For the first nine years, the two remained seated in meditation, without encountering any disturbances from the lower realms that would affect the immortal sects.

The two simply sat in meditation, competing with each other to break through to the middle three ranks and enter the later three ranks as soon as possible.

Without condensing the fruit of the Great Dao, they are nothing in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm and can only be sent to do this dispensable task of selecting immortals.

The two came from different palaces, or factions, within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.

In the past, the celestial realm often used palace gates to divide areas and spheres of influence.

For example, the legendary Tushita Palace, the Moon Palace, the Sun Palace, the Southern Heavenly Gate, and so on...

Even after the Immortal Realm collapsed, this division of power remained.

Li Donglin comes from the Gan Dao Palace in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, while Han Song comes from the Turtle and Crane Sect.

"Brother Li, I'm afraid we'll be sitting here in vain for ten years..."

That day, Han Song woke up and looked at Li Donglin, who had also awakened from the Dao Realm, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't this normal?" Li Donglin said with a slight smile. "The senior brothers who were on duty before us had never encountered a case of a cultivator from the lower realm becoming an immortal in hundreds of years."

"That's true, but if we really encounter it, it will ultimately be beneficial to both of us. The higher-ups have already said that if we can recruit more immortals while on duty at the Immortal Selection Pavilion, we will receive a Celestial Immortal Lotus as a reward."

"Celestial Lotus Transformation..."

Li Donglin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If we could obtain one, we might be able to advance to the third rank of True Immortal a little earlier."

If Ning Qi and his two companions were to overhear their conversation, they would be absolutely astonished.

Because they discovered the True Immortal Lotus within Wanzun Mountain, they never expected that the Heavenly Immortal Lotus, which differed by only one character, would exist in this Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.

"Yes, it's a pity that among so many worlds in the lower realms, the number of people who can become immortals is getting smaller and smaller!"

Han Song sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We immortals are too busy taking care of ourselves to look after the lower realms. Let alone whether cultivators in the lower realms can become immortals, it's a miracle they can even survive!"

As they talked, they both involuntarily looked at a spherical object in the center of the Xuanxian Pavilion.

The spherical object was crafted from immortal crystals and spirit stones, a specialty of the fairy realm, and was placed in the center of the immortal selection array within the Immortal Selection Pavilion.

As a source of energy, the Immortal Crystal Stones provide the Immortal Selection Talisman Array with information to detect the movements of those who have become immortals in the lower realms.

All those who aspire to immortality must unite with the Immortal Sect and undergo its examination to obtain the Immortal Register and the coordinates to travel to the Immortal Realm.

Only by truly entering the fairyland can one be considered a true immortal.

Li Donglin and Han Song looked at the unchanged Immortal Selection Talisman Array and Immortal Crystal Spirit Stones, feeling slightly disappointed.

Just as they were about to look away and revisit the path of immortality, suddenly, the entire Immortal Selection Array emitted wisps of light, which were injected into the immortal crystal spirit stones.

"Huh, am I seeing things? The Immortal Selection Talisman Array is reacting?"

"Really pregnant?"

The two quickly got up and walked to the Immortal Crystal Stone.

This immortal crystal stone is extremely large, located in the center of the Immortal Selection Pavilion, and is like a small mountain.

Its surface is incredibly smooth, like a mirror, reflecting the shadows of two people.

However, at this moment, the immortal crystal stone also began to glow slightly, becoming crystal clear inside, with a faint light pointing down to the lower realm.

"Someone in the mortal realm has become an immortal?"

Before the two could say much, they noticed that the immortal crystals and spirit stones began to change color in turn.

Bronze, silver, gold...

"My goodness! I remember the last cultivator from the lower realm who became an immortal only managed to condense a bronze immortal gate. How come there are cultivators in the lower realm who can condense a golden immortal gate?"

Li Donglin and Han Song's expressions kept changing.

When these immortal crystals and spirit stones are combined with the Immortal Selection Talisman Array, they can detect the aptitude of cultivators in the lower realms.

The more brilliant the color, the higher the immortal potential of the cultivator from the lower realm.

"The Golden Immortal Sect, this person has at least the potential to become a Celestial Immortal, and is stronger than the two of us!"

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a jolt in their hearts.

If we use the standards before the collapse of the Immortal Realm, if a Golden Immortal Gate is detected, it means that the other party has the aptitude to become a Golden Immortal.

However, this standard no longer applies after the Immortal Realm fell apart.

Because the original selection rules for immortals were subject to some unforeseen circumstances and were no longer as precise as before, and because the immortal crystals and spirit stones were no longer as energy-dense and pure as they used to be, the original standards were greatly compromised.

Therefore, the current level of immortal talent detected by immortal crystals and spirit stones should be reduced by one realm based on the original level, which should be roughly the same.

Li Donglin and Han Song instantly became interested and touched the Immortal Crystal Stone at the same time.

The place where their hands touched aroused the power of the Immortal Selection talisman array within the Immortal Selection Pavilion. The two immediately sensed that somewhere in the lower realm, a cultivator had condensed an immortal gate.

"This person is located in the north of the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Realm, approximately 300,000 immortal li away from it."

The so-called "immortal mile" is a unit of distance used by immortals to calculate distances. One immortal mile is the distance that a true immortal can cross the boundary sea in one quarter of an hour.

For cultivators in the lower realms, it is an immeasurable distance.

After all, cultivators from the lower realms are lucky to even leave the world, let alone cross the boundary sea, let alone cross the boundary sea.

"Three hundred thousand li, that's really far!"

"At such a distance, it would be difficult for the two of us to clearly perceive who the other person is."

After a brief discussion, Li Donglin transmitted a divine message to the immortal crystal.

"Who among you has ascended to immortality in the mortal realm? State your name!"

After a short while, a voice transmission returned from the immortal crystal.

"I am Haoshan, a descendant of Buzhou Mountain."

Li Donglin and Han Song exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up as if a green light had been turned on.

"A descendant of Buzhou Mountain? I never expected that you and I would encounter someone with such a powerful background."

In the past, Mount Buzhou was the only passage connecting to the Immortal Realm. Although it was not a force within the Immortal Realm, it was still a force dependent on the Immortal Realm.

At its peak, its foundation was arguably no less than that of the present-day Eastern Wilderness Wonderland.

This is no exaggeration, because Mount Buzhou has provided countless talents to the immortal realm.

It has also cultivated many immortals. Although it has not formed its own power in the immortal realm, it is scattered in various palaces and sects. Those people must always remember its kindness.

“My Immortal Ancestor of the Gan Dao Palace said long ago that after Buzhou Mountain collapsed, it should have fallen into the Boundary Sea under the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. It’s strange that it hasn’t appeared for so many years. Now it has finally appeared.”

After Li Donglin finished speaking, he took out a token, which seemed to be a magical communication artifact.

Han Song, who was on the other side, was startled when he saw this.

"Brother Li, you must not act rashly!"

Li Donglin said, "Brother Han, it would be really unreasonable not to inform my palace about the appearance of such a lost power as Buzhou Mountain."

Han Song said coldly, "I know Brother Li is anxious, but is my Turtle and Crane Sect any different?"

He pointed to the talisman array in the Immortal Selection Pavilion.

"As long as there is true and valuable information, the three palaces and six gates of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm will know immediately. This is not a message that the two of us can keep secret."

Upon hearing this, Li Donglin immediately put down the token.

"you mean?"

"Let's wait and see. We must verify the authenticity of their identity. If it's fake, reporting it will only make things worse. Brother Li, do you want to be expelled from the Immortal Realm and wander the Boundary Sea?"

Upon hearing the consequences, Li Donglin couldn't help but shudder.

It seems that for him, a true immortal, being expelled from the immortal realm and forced to wander the sea of ​​realms was an extremely terrifying thing.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

So the two of them continued to ask questions.

"Those from the lower realms, do you have any evidence to prove that you are a descendant of Buzhou Mountain?"

This time, the two did not receive a reply. Instead, they saw the golden light on the immortal crystal stone fading and turning into silver.

"What happened?"

"The Immortal Crystal Spirit Stone detected a large amount of Boundary Sea energy hidden within the other party's body, which is why the Immortal Gate level has regressed and shows signs of closing."

Li Donglin was shocked; his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

He couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Han Song.

Fortunately, Han Song stopped him earlier; otherwise, if the information he reported had been incorrect, he would have been in serious trouble.

"How dare these treacherous mortals harbor such malicious intentions? Could it be that they want to find out the location of the celestial realm and invite demons to invade?"

Li Donglin glared at the immortal crystal and spirit stone with resentment.

However, this time the silvery light on the immortal crystal did not continue to fade.

They received another message from the other side.

"You all are trying to stop me from becoming an immortal! Don't forget the agreement on the crossing between immortals and mortals. Besides, what people or things are still unaffected by the Boundary Sea these days? Don't go too far!"

Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback.

"Brother Han, what should we do now? It seems that the Immortal Crystals, Spirit Stones, and Immortal Selection Array cannot sense the Boundary Sea energy on the other side..."

Han Song pondered for a moment, then continued speaking to the immortal crystal spirit stone:

"Prove your identity!"

Soon after, an ancient mountain-shaped mark was transmitted from the other end, reflected on the immortal crystal stone.

Looking at the ancient markings, the two of them frowned simultaneously.

"Given that the other party knows about the Immortal-Mortal Crossing Agreement, and considering the mountain-shaped mark of Mount Buzhou, his identity should be beyond doubt..."

Han Song said, "Alright, let's just register him in the Immortal Register for now. As for whether or not to let him enter the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Realm, that's up to the Immortal Ancestors to decide."

Upon hearing this, Li Donglin waved his hand.

Opposite him, a magic brush and a register of immortals hanging on the wall of the Immortal Selection Pavilion both flew out and landed in front of him.

Li Donglin held the Immortal-Pointing Brush and wrote two large characters on the automatically opening Immortal Record Book.

"Haoshan."

He also added detailed information below it.

"The identity of the immortal who has become an immortal in the Far Eastern Boundary Sea under the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm has been confirmed as the successor of Buzhou Mountain. It is suspected that he has a large amount of boundary sea energy in his body."

After writing this text, the two exchanged spatial coordinates.

"Those from the lower realms who have completed the baptism of the immortal sects should go to these coordinates in this space, and the immortal realm will send someone to guide them."

A joyful sound seemed to come from the other end.

After registering each other in the Immortal Register, the two then cast a series of immortal spells onto the Immortal Crystal Spirit Stone.

Instantly, the immortal crystal and spirit stone erupted with terrifying immortal power, seemingly traversing space and flowing down to the immortal named Haoshan in the lower realm.

If cultivators in the lower realms want to become immortals, they must undergo the baptism of the immortal sects, and these immortal crystals and spirit stones are treasures that provide the energy for this baptism.

"Brother Han, can we report this now?" Li Donglin asked.

Han Song cautiously replied, "Let's wait and see. We can only be completely certain after he completes the Immortal Sect baptism and crosses the Boundary Sea."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two sat down again on either side and waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, a snap was heard from inside the Xuanxian Pavilion.

The two of them opened their eyes instantly.

"The Register of Immortals has fallen. What does this signify?" Li Donglin asked, puzzled, as this was the first time he had experienced something like this.

Han Song used his immortal power to pick up the register of immortals from the ground and turned to the page that Li Donglin had just written.

The two were astonished to find that the words "Haoshan" had automatically disappeared from the text.

"He has clearly undergone baptism, so why has his name disappeared? Could it be that he encountered demons while crossing the Boundary Sea?"
