"The Golden Palace Secret Realm is of the same origin as the White Jade Capital Secret Realm." Luo Baiyuan continued, "It is said that in ancient times, it was designed to allow immortals to ascend to heaven."

"The immortal has ascended to heaven?" Xu Yinglian frowned and asked, "Hasn't the immortal already ascended to heaven? How can he ascend to heaven again?"

Qiu Changtian did not ask any further questions, but looked thoughtful.

"Qiongying, the previous 'ascension to the immortal world' is not the same as the current 'ascension to the immortal world'." Luo Baiyuan sighed and said, "Ascension means ascending to the immortal world."

"Fairyland?" Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were both confused.

In the sect, there are often terms like "human world" and "cultivation world". It refers to the world where the human race lives today, which is independent of the Eastern Emperor Realm, the Nine Netherworld, the outer world, etc., and is not connected in space, requiring special methods to travel between them.

But the "immortal world" that Luo Baiyuan mentioned at this time only existed in the records in the classics, and there was no further description - no one had ever returned from the immortal world and then wrote a travelogue to describe what the immortal world was like, so many cultivators believed that the "immortal world" was just a fictional ideal world.

But from what Luo Baiyuan said, this fairyland seemed to really exist.

"I was originally going to tell you these things when you are about to form a Nascent Soul." Luo Baiyuan said seriously, "If a Nascent Soul cultivator can reach the level of a celestial being or higher, then everything from the body to the soul will undergo a transformation, and they will no longer be able to stay in the world, but will automatically ascend to the immortal world, which is called 'transmigration'."

"Nowadays, the immortals of the major sects, or the wandering immortals, all use special methods to stay in this human world."

"Why do you want to stay in the human world?" Xu Yinglian asked curiously, "If the immortal world really exists, according to the classics, it is a holy place for cultivation and a Taoist paradise. It should be superior to this world in every way."

"In short, everyone has their own reasons." Luo Baiyuan shook his head. "Some people are worried about the sect, some still have concerns about the human world, and some are even afraid of bad things happening in the immortal world... None of these are important. What's important is that you only have one chance to choose."

"If you choose not to ascend and stay in the human world when you ascend, then if you regret it later, you won't be able to ascend to immortality anymore."

Then Qiu Changtian immediately understood:

For example, it's like your college entrance exam score is high enough to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, but you didn't go when you filled in your application form. No matter what the reason is, you want to go again after a few months? Sorry, the enrollment is closed!

"It is said that in ancient times, the human world and the fairy world could travel to each other." Luo Baiyuan continued, "But later something happened, causing the passage between the two to be torn apart."

"From then on, there were only two ways to go from the human world to the fairy world: one is to use the power of ascension to naturally ascend; the other is to wait for the opportunity for the intersection of the celestial sphere and go through the ascension ceremony again in the human world. This secret realm of the Golden Palace is one of the keys to the ascension ceremony..."

"What is the intersection of the celestial spheres?" Qiu Changtian asked suddenly.

"I don't know." Luo Baiyuan replied, "From what Master said, it seems that a great catastrophe occurs every once in a while."

A great catastrophe in the world? Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other, and each of them read a little uneasiness in the other's eyes.

"Ajing, Ajing!" Qiu Changtian asked hurriedly, "What exactly is the intersection of the celestial spheres?"

"This..." Kunlun Mirror hesitated.

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask Master Ziwei and it will be the same." Seeing that she was a little shaken, Qiu Changtian immediately struck while the iron was hot and threatened, "Even Senior Sister Luo already knows about this, so my master will definitely not hide this from me."

"But if the one who gives me the answer in the end is Master Ziwei instead of you, then I have to think about whether Kunlun treats me better or you and I have a closer relationship!"

"Alas." Kunlun Mirror said helplessly, "Things like the intersection of the celestial spheres are very complicated to explain. I don't know how to explain it to you."

"To use an analogy: if the human world is the water in the cup, and the fairy world is the air above the water, then the essence of an individual's ascension is to accumulate energy and transform oneself from water to air, so that one can move from the human world in the water to the fairy world in the air."

"The immortals who are stuck in the human world are like tiny bubbles dissolved in water. They have no way to go to the immortal world for the time being."

"The intersection of the celestial spheres is equivalent to the heating of water in a cup. After boiling, the tiny bubbles dissolved in the water can be released into the air. The reason why those immortals set their sights on the Golden Palace Secret Realm is to allow themselves to be 'released' by this world."

"Then why is the intersection of the celestial spheres a great catastrophe for the world?" Qiu Changtian asked puzzledly.

"Are you willing to live in boiling water?" Kunlun Mirror asked, "Although the intersection of the celestial spheres will reduce the difficulty of ascending to heaven, it will also bring great chaos and destruction to the human world."

"If you fail to mend the sky on time, the reason why the sky leaks in the future is that the spiritual energy of the human world becomes too violent, and it breaks through the weak points of the sky to release pressure. The damage to the sky will bring greater trouble." At this point, Kunlun Jing sighed and said, "There is no point in discussing that. Anyway, you just need to work hard to mend the sky."

"As long as the sky does not leak, even if the celestial spheres intersect, it will not lead to the destruction of the human world. As long as your cultivation strength is sufficient, you don't have to worry about any catastrophe."

After saying the last sentence, A Jing fell silent again and became the Shut-Up Mirror.

"Anyway, I'm not very clear about it either." Luo Baiyuan sighed and said, "Master said that only those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage are qualified to know these things."

"If you haven't reached a certain level of cultivation, knowing this will only cause you to be frightened and add more obstacles to your path."

Xu Yinglian was speechless for a long time before he said:

"In the final analysis, you still have to practice diligently."

"That's right." Luo Baiyuan praised, "Only if you get the Tao, you can have a chance of survival."

"Senior Brother?" Seeing Qiu Changtian was in a daze, Xu Yinglian called him and asked.

"That makes sense." Qiu Changtian recovered and agreed, "The catastrophe is too far away. I only focus on the present."

"Since the sect has decided to take over the Golden Palace Secret Realm, we, as Kunlun Immortals, should go all out."

"Of course." Luo Baiyuan continued, "In addition, according to what Master said, the opening of this ascension ceremony will not only allow the immortals stranded in the human world to ascension again, but the immortal spirit energy leaked out can also bring us supreme benefits."

The ultimate benefit? Qiu Changtian was surprised. This was a bit exaggerated.

"There is the breath of Tao in it." Luo Baiyuan added.

Now both of them could no longer hold their expressions.

What is "Tao"?

Tao is the ultimate truth itself.

For example, if Luo Yan mastered the "art of formations", then in theory he had mastered all the formations in the world, and had reached the supreme realm of "omniscience and omnipotence" in terms of formations.

Even just a hint of the aura of "Tao" is enough to attract countless Nascent Soul elders to scramble for it.

No wonder both the orthodox and evil sects are eyeing the secret realm of Golden Palace!
