The dazzling golden light in front of him finally dissipated, and Lu Xianyun was able to take a good look at what the fairyland looked like.
The place where he was standing now was a round platform. It didn't look magnificent at all, but rather plain and simple.
Looking around again, you will find that this fairyland is just a city, right?
Various buildings with carved beams and painted rafters are lined up one after another, and there is a flat road under your feet. Except that the air is filled with a strong fairy air instead of spiritual energy, it seems to be no different from the lower world.
At this moment, Lu Xianyun felt an invisible force enveloping her.
Lu Xianyun naturally had to be cautious with this unknown thing. Just as she was about to cast a spell to shatter this power, she noticed something amiss.
The power circled around her, then conveyed a feeling of confusion to Lu Xianyun, and then dissipated.
So what's going on?
Lu Xianyun was confused, and when he looked forward, his eyes suddenly narrowed!
She saw someone.
There were several people kneeling on the ground, approaching from a distance. No wonder she didn't notice them immediately. These people were kneeling on the ground, wiping the ground of the street!
Do I need to kneel down and wipe the street to clean it?
Even if we're not allowed to use spells, can't we use tools? Can't we just stand and sweep with a broom?
Lu Xianyun was initially skeptical of Cong Zhongxiao's claims. After all, Cong Zhongxiao hadn't even entered the Heavenly Gate; he'd only peeked through the wide-open gate. Could he really see clearly?
But now she believed it, what Cong Zhongxiao said was true!
But why were they enslaved? Who was enslaving them? Were they invincible? Even if all the ascended monks united, wouldn't they be able to defeat them?
Even if they couldn't defeat him, why didn't they just run away? Was this fairyland too small, with nowhere to escape to?
Lu Xianyun's mind is full of question marks now.
She walked towards the person on the side of the road.
As she got closer, she discovered something else: each of these people had shackles on their feet!
There was a piece of chain behind the shackles, but it sank into the air and disappeared.
However, Lu Xianyun didn't think this chain was just for show. It was definitely the magic weapon holding these cultivators captive.
There was a numb look on these people's faces, and even when Lu Xianyun came to their side, they didn't react at all.
Lu Xianyun asked, "Fellow Daoists, what's going on? I just ascended here and don't know what's going on in this fairyland. Can you tell me?"
After hearing Lu Xianyun's words, these people looked up in confusion.
They glanced at Lu Xianyun and didn't react much, but when they looked down and saw Lu Xianyun's feet, they were suddenly stunned.
The numb face finally showed a dramatic change of emotions.
"Why? Why are there no chains on your feet?" they all shouted.
"Uh..." Lu Xianyun was stunned. "Why are there chains on my feet?"
These people looked at her in confusion and said, "Anyone who has just ascended will be sensed by the immortal world and put in chains. From then on, they can only be enslaved by the rulers of the immortal world!"
Lu Xianyun was stunned.
If that's the case, then why aren't there chains on her feet?
Suddenly, Lu Xianyun remembered the force that had attacked her when she was standing on the Ascension Platform. She didn't understand why, but the force had left.
It’s really scary to think about it. If that power were to wrap around her body, wouldn’t chains also appear on her feet, and would she be enslaved by the fairy world?
"But even if I put chains on my feet, will I know where I'm going next? Will I know what job the fairyland has assigned me?" Lu Xianyun asked in confusion.
"Of course not." These people were about to explain to her, but suddenly thought of something and said to her: "Since you don't have chains on your feet, then hurry up and leave! Otherwise, the immortal soldiers will come to catch you soon!"
Although these people had been enslaved for a long time, their psychology had not been too distorted. They were willing to tell Lu Xianyun to escape quickly, rather than feeling jealous and wondering why they were enslaved while others were able to escape.
Lu Xianyun then understood. It seemed that those who ascended were taken away by these soldiers from the fairy world.
"Escape? I'm not familiar with this fairyland. Where can I escape to?" Lu Xianyun asked. Then she remembered something else and asked hurriedly, "Oh, right, someone ascended not long ago. Was that person also chained and taken away?"
These people shook their heads in confusion.
"Ascension might cause a lot of noise in the lower realm, but in this fairyland there would be no sound at all, so we didn't notice it. And we don't clean here all the time, so we don't know."
Lu Xianyun was puzzled again. "If there was no movement during the ascension, how did the immortal soldiers come and take him away?"
The cultivators shook their heads, "We don't know either. The Immortal Realm has its own unique characteristics, so of course they can sense it."
As they were talking, a burst of orderly footsteps suddenly sounded on the street.
"Hurry, they are coming! You should leave quickly!" These people urged Lu Xianyun in a low voice.
From a distance, Lu Xianyun could already see the immortal soldiers. They were clad in golden armor, so their footsteps made a heavy sound as they walked.
Lu Xianyun didn't hesitate any longer and quickly left the spot.
She hid behind a nearby house and watched these people coming over and heading straight for the Ascension Platform.
But they didn't see anyone and were a little puzzled.
"This is strange. Someone clearly ascended, so why can't I see anyone?"
"After ascending, everyone will be chained and unable to move freely. Where can they run to?"
"How am I going to explain this to the Goddess when I get back?"
"Is there a mistake? No one is coming at all?"
"It's possible. Didn't someone just ascend a while ago? How could another one ascend so quickly?"
A soldier saw the people mopping the floor and came over to ask, "Did you see the person who just ascended?"
Lu Xianyun's heart tightened.
But these people raised their numb faces and shook their heads mechanically, "No!"
Lu Xianyun finally felt relieved. He hadn't expected these people to have such good acting skills!
"Forget it, let's go back!" said the soldiers, and walked away again.
Lu Xianyun suddenly thought that the person who ascended to heaven that these soldiers just mentioned should be Mu Yun, right?
It seems that they know where Mu Yun is!
It would definitely be unwise to ask them directly, so Lu Xianyun could only follow them quietly all the way.
I never expected that I would see such a scene just after arriving in the fairyland.
