Ten days later.
"Brother Han, if we walk a little further ahead, we'll return to the teleportation array in the Immortal City," Cheng Yuzhu said happily.
Since Han Feng joined, Cheng Yuzhu has felt a great sense of security.
It was as if even if the sky were to fall, Han Feng would still be there to hold it up.
Because she had her arms wrapped around Han Feng's arm, she accidentally touched a place she was afraid to touch.
Cheng Yuzhu blushed deeply and quickly let go of Han Feng's hand.
"Thanks to Brother Han's help, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have made it here," Zhu Xu nodded in agreement.
"In any case, helping you is also helping myself. I've been trapped in this wilderness for quite some time now, and I'd like to get out," Han Feng said modestly.
“Brother Han, come with us to Lihuang City. I will definitely contact my great-grandfather to help you get a spot in the Cleansing Immortal Pool, since you are covered in filth.”
Zhao Bufan patted his chest and said.
"Thank you all for your help."
Han Feng's biggest problem right now is that he can't cleanse himself of the turbidity of the lower realm.
In this way, his cultivation will stagnate at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, making it difficult for him to absorb immortal energy and cultivate faster.
The final leg of the journey went smoothly, and the group successfully reached the teleportation array leading to the Immortal City.
The teleportation array was set up in a very secret place, and people who didn't know about it couldn't find it at all.
Moreover, the teleportation array is protected by powerful restrictions, which were likely set up by a Celestial Immortal-level expert.
It's absolutely impossible for Han Feng to break through this barrier given his strength.
In addition, there are many complicated opening procedures, so only the people of this immortal city can use it; no one else can even think about using it.
Han Feng was also relieved about this.
If he hadn't encountered Zhu Xu and his group of treacherous villains, it would have been extremely difficult for him to leave the Great Wilderness.
"Brother Han, the formalities are complete. Let's leave together."
Zhu Xu successfully activated the teleportation array, and Han Feng followed him inside.
Suddenly, the world spun around him, and he found himself in a grand hall.
There was already someone waiting outside the teleportation array, a rather attractive middle-aged woman.
"Master!"
Zhu Xu and the others shouted in unison.
All four of them had red eyes and were on the verge of tears.
"It's good that you're back, otherwise I was prepared to go looking for you myself." The middle-aged beauty Ling Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
"My eldest uncle, eldest brother, and fifth sister... they have all perished," Zhu Xu said, his voice trembling with tears.
"I know everything you've said. It's perfectly normal to encounter danger in the Great Wilderness. You must have come back alive thanks to this fellow Daoist."
Ling Tinglan's gaze fell on Han Feng.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Brother Han. If it weren't for him, we might not have made it out," Cheng Yuzhu said.
"Okay, I understand."
Ling Tinglan said, "You two go home first and let him know you're safe. I have something to tell him."
Seeing that Zhu Xu and the others hesitated for a moment, she continued, "You can rest assured, I won't do anything to him."
"Brother Han, farewell!"
The fact that Zhu Xu and others were able to become Ling Tinglan's disciples is because they all have powerful clans in the Immortal City behind them.
After Zhu Xu and the others left, Ling Tinglan's smile gradually faded.
"Fellow Daoist, you must not be telling the truth. You are not from the Great Wilderness, but rather from the lower realm."
"Since you've already figured it out, I'll just say what's on my mind. I want to enter the Immortal Cleansing Pool. I wonder if you have the authority to do so."
Ling Tinglan's realm is at the mid-stage of True Immortal, which is equivalent to the mid-stage of Tribulation Transcending.
Han Feng possesses the cultivation level of the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so he has no need to be afraid in the slightest.
“You saved my disciple, but the spots in the Immortal Cleansing Pool are not easy to obtain, especially since the checks on cultivators from the lower realms are very strict,” Ling Tinglan said with difficulty.
"If you feel it's too much to ask, that's fine. I can find something myself." Han Feng didn't press the matter further.
"Fellow Daoist, you can also look for it yourself. I can also put in a good word for you. In the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom, it's not a particularly difficult thing to get a spot in the Immortal Cleansing Pool."
"I must thank you, fellow Daoist."
Ling Tinglan arranged a private room in the city lord's mansion for Han Feng to stay temporarily.
After checking in, Han Feng asked the servants in the mansion and learned that Ling Tinglan was the city lord of this immortal city.
Instead of going directly to the private room to rest, he headed towards the Immortal Inn.
Han Feng pretended to be there for a meal and managed to gather a lot of information.
This immortal city is called Lihuang City. It is located on the edge of the Great Wilderness and is considered a very remote place in the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom.
Ling Tinglan possesses the cultivation level of a late-stage True Immortal and is ostensibly the master of the Immortal City.
In fact, the strongest person in the Immortal City is the old city lord, who is also Ling Tinglan's master, and has the cultivation level of a late-stage Celestial Immortal.
The Immortal City possesses a high degree of autonomy, and the city lord is more like a "local emperor."
If the old city lord does not want to be the city lord, he can report to the supervisor and elect a new city lord himself.
If you give enough, the inspector will be too lazy to do any inspections and will simply appoint a new city lord.
Of course, the inspector still had to report to the Celestial Emperor, but a Celestial Kingdom has several hundred Celestial Cities, and the Celestial Emperor usually couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
Ling Tinglan has many fellow disciples, all of whom are at least True Immortals.
The families of Zhu Xu, Zhao Bufan, Cheng Yuzhu, and the other two also possess cultivation levels at the True Immortal level.
The strength of the entire Desolate City ranks among the top five in the surrounding area.
“Ling Tinglan did a good job just now, but she also gave herself away a lot. She wasn’t really sincere about helping me get into the Immortal Cleansing Pool.”
Han Feng felt a familiar sensation in Ling Tinglan.
He often felt this way when he was in Yellow Maple Valley.
He decided to conduct a life simulation to see what Ling Tinglan was really up to.
Han Feng's cultivation level broke through to the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and the number of top-grade spirit stones required for the life simulation also increased a hundredfold.
Fortunately, he plundered enough from the spirit and demon realm, otherwise he really wouldn't have enough to simulate life.
Subtracting the spirit stones from the previous life simulation, Han Feng still possesses 300 billion top-grade spirit stones.
[A cultivation simulation can be performed by consuming 10 billion top-grade spirit stones.]
A month later, you tried many methods but still couldn't find a way to enter the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
Six months later, Ling Tinglan tells you about the chance to go to the Immortal Cleansing Pool, but the price is that you have to give her a fragment of your soul.
You gave your divided soul to Ling Tinglan in exchange for the chance to enter the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
After being cleansed by the Immortal Cleansing Pool, your cultivation level has increased from the late stage of Tribulation Transcending to the late stage of True Immortal. Next, you can break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.
The powerful immortal energy in the Immortal Cleansing Pool has not been completely used up; you can use the remaining medicinal energy to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
Once your cultivation reaches the Celestial Immortal level, you will no longer fear the old city lord of Lihuang City and can forcefully demand the return of your divided soul.
Two years later, you find yourself unable to break through, as if there is an invisible limitation that prevents you from doing so.
After some inquiries, it was learned that a True Immortal needs a complete divine soul to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
You must retrieve the fragment of your soul that you placed on Ling Tinglan before you can break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
