The number of cultivators from the lower realms who become immortals is decreasing, but the troubles they face after becoming immortals are increasing.
First, being detached from the world and facing the vast energy of the boundary sea would be extremely uncomfortable.
Secondly, one must go to the fairyland, which is the place where immortals can live in peace, but one must cross this vast sea of boundaries.
Now that the Holy Ancestor has become an immortal, if Ning Qi hadn't been prepared in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to stay in the True Martial Spirit Realm any longer.
Ning Qi and his two companions stayed in Wanzun Mountain and obtained a map of the Great Wilderness Wonderland from the Golden Key.
"The landmark of the Great Wilderness Wonderland is already there, kid, what are your thoughts?"
"The Holy Ancestor inquired."
Ning Qi added some more items to the Enlightenment Square.
A tea table is for appreciating tea, and a meditation cushion is for contemplating the Tao.
He fetched water to brew tea and poured a cup for the two of them.
Ning Qi replied, "Now that the Holy Venerable has ascended to immortality, let us drink a toast in celebration, please!"
The three of them drank Enlightenment Tea and discussed their plans for the future.
Ning Qi continued, "Although Hai Zun and I have not become immortals, we have been baptized by the immortal light. In addition, with the immortal cultivation methods we have studied, I estimate that we should have the strength of a first-grade True Immortal as described in the immortal scriptures."
There are nine ranks of True Immortals, the first three of which are the fruits of immortals' condensation of the Great Dao.
However, True Immortals of the First Rank usually do not yet involve the Great Dao. They have just broken through from the Dao Integration Realm, undergone the baptism of the Immortal Sect, and completely completed the transformation of their physical body and soul. As a result, perfect power is generated in their bodies, which is the foundation of immortal power.
The Holy Ancestor, of course, said nothing. He was a true First-Rank Immortal and still needed to adapt to the new power and stabilize his cultivation.
Apart from not reporting to Wonderland and not staying there, nothing else is missing.
Moreover, the Wanzun Mountain that Ning Qi transformed is rich in immortal trees and herbs, and its vitality is rapidly recovering; it can almost be considered a miniature fairyland.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu were not true first-grade immortals, but their strength had already reached that level.
If the three were truly ranked by strength, the Holy Ancestor would not dare to claim that he was number one.
He wasn't sure if he could beat Ning Qi, after all, Ning Qi had a record of killing the Mountain Ancestor, which was a long time ago.
Therefore, the ranking of strength should be Ning Qi first, Saint Ancestor second, and Sea Ancestor third.
"The Great Wilderness Immortal Realm is too far away, and I am the Lord of the True Martial Spirit Realm, so I will not consider it for the time being. What do you think?"
Haizu pursed her lips slightly, "I have no objection."
The Holy Ancestor took a sip of hot soup and said, "I have no objection either. Going to the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm now would be like walking into a trap."
He was just asking Ning Qi's opinion. If he were really allowed to go alone, then my fate would be in the hands of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
“Since neither of you has any objections, then we shall continue to cultivate within the Ten Thousand Venerables Mountain. The vitality within the Ten Thousand Venerables Mountain has been fully restored, which should be sufficient to support the energy required by the three of us.”
The Holy Ancestor sat cross-legged on the futon, sensing the energy around him.
"We have to thank that guy, the Mountain Ancestor. If he hadn't summoned the remnant of Mount Buzhou from the depths of the Boundary Sea, there wouldn't be the Little Immortal Realm we have now."
He chuckled and said, "If we wait a while longer until the energy of the immortal herbs and trees in this realm begins to circulate completely, I think the three of us won't need to go to any immortal realm at all."
Ning Qi nodded slightly.
"We can only say that we will try our best to improve our own strength. As for the fairyland, we will have to go there sooner or later."
His eyes gleamed, clearly indicating his unwillingness to remain confined within the True Martial Spirit Realm.
The Boundary Sea is boundless. Having finally gained the strength to cross it, I'm determined to explore further into the distance.
Exploration may involve many unknowns and even dangers, but opportunities are always present.
The three then continued their conversation and asked questions.
With the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body available for experimentation, and with the Holy Ancestor's confirmation after becoming an immortal, the group's strength steadily increased.
Of course, they would also occasionally take time to summon a group of cultivators from the True Martial Spirit Realm to Wanzun Mountain to impart knowledge and resolve doubts, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the True Martial Spirit Realm.
...
The Great Wilderness Wonderland.
The acting palace master of Gan Dao Palace said, "I have no words to say, but I personally escorted Li Donglin out of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm in a furtive manner."
Li Donglin's face was pale, and his eyes revealed an extremely reluctant expression.
He thought he had stumbled upon a great opportunity at the Immortal Selection Pavilion, but he never expected that he would be banished to the Boundary Sea by Elder Jiang Shou of the Immortal Punishment Pavilion because of a single sentence.
He turned to look at the acting palace master behind him, his words trailing off weakly:
"Acting Palace Master, I'm sorry, Donglin has disgraced you."
Dao Bujin sneered, "So you know how to be shameful, huh?"
Li Donglin gave an awkward smile, revealing his easygoing nature, unlike the other elders and palace masters who were as rigid and serious.
So his mind started to wander.
"Donglin has been cursed with a top-secret annihilation spell. Can't you, sir, plead with Elder Jiang Shou to spare me?"
Dao Bujin slapped him on the head and said:
"Don't you know Elder Jiang Shou's temperament? He always keeps his word. How dare you hide anything from him? Besides, you asked me to plead for you. If I do you a favor, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?"
Li Donglin lowered his head like a partridge.
"But you, acting palace master, don't need to personally escort me, do you? Who are you to warrant such treatment?"
Dao Bujin glanced back at the magnificent Great Wilderness Wonderland and waved casually.
"Don't you know anything about social etiquette? Couldn't you just drop the 'dai'?"
Li Donglin shrank his neck.
“I would like to remove it, but I’m afraid someone might overhear and say that you’re planning to seize power.”
Words fail me, and another slap follows.
"If you stopped thinking about these schemes and tricks every day, you would have already condensed the fruit of the Great Dao. Didn't you want to wait for an opportunity in the Immortal Selection Pavilion? Now that I'm accompanying you down to the mortal realm, isn't this an opportunity in itself?"
Li Donglin was taken aback.
"Palace Master, are you also going to descend to the mortal realm?"
He had no idea how excited Dao Bujin was after discovering the relics of the Golden Immortal Clan, and how he had already made the resolute decision to go down to the lower realm to investigate.
Even though many people were eyeing the position of the acting palace master of the Dao Dao Palace, he didn't care anymore.
"Stop asking. If you keep asking and some old snoopy guys hear you, I won't be able to leave."
Li Donglin felt his head buzzing.
He had unexpectedly encountered such good fortune; the acting palace master was a celestial being.
With a celestial being by his side, what would he have to fear even if he were banished from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm?
However, Li Donglin seemed to have thought of something else.
"Palace Master, I have been banished from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. Is it possible for me to never return?"
Words cannot express the unspoken feelings.
"With me here, once we've accomplished what we're supposed to do, why are you worried about not being able to come back?"
"Hey, then Donglin has nothing to fear."
"Just lead the way. Do you remember those spatial coordinates?"
Li Donglin nodded quickly.
As soon as the two left the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, Dao Bujin summoned a small space vessel, which appeared in front of them.
The ship was entirely gray-black, quite similar in color to the border sea.
As soon as the two boarded the Boundary Ship, it immediately sailed away from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm and sped off in a certain direction.
The gray-black Boundary Ship completely merged into the Boundary Sea, making it difficult to detect even with divine sense.
...
In the boundary sea.
Others also traveled to District 15 of the Far East Boundary Sea, but these people were much closer.
All that could be seen above the dark, turbulent vortex of the Boundary Sea was a sudden appearance of a five-colored light.
A five-colored treasure boat flew overhead continuously.
On the treasure ship, at the bow and stern, stood two figures.
It was Wei Xian and Lin Chen who also possessed remnants of Buzhou Mountain.
Ever since the Mountain Ancestor summoned the remnant of Mount Buzhou in the Boundary Sea, the two of them, who possessed the remnant of Mount Buzhou, immediately sensed the corresponding fluctuations and rushed towards the direction where it appeared.
Navigating the vast, boundless sea is quite arduous.
Besides the turbulent whirlpools that can be seen everywhere in the Boundary Sea, there are also twisted monsters and ferocious beasts of the Boundary Sea.
Fortunately, this five-colored treasure ship was a treasure ship they had seized from Linglong Mountain. It could sail on the boundary sea without falling into turbulent currents and whirlpools, as if walking on flat ground.
Linglong Mountain was the name Wei Xian gave to the remnant of Buzhou Mountain that he obtained, in memory of his deceased lover.
"Brother Lin, have something to eat."
On the treasure ship, Wei Xian was grilling a ferocious sea beast in the shape of a deer. The meat was sizzling and dripping with oil. He cut off a deer leg and sent it over with his immortal power.
"Brother Wei, how can we have meat without wine?"
Lin Chen looks handsome and young, but he's a complete heavy drinker.
Back then, his entire family died tragically while trying to save Wei Xian. Since then, he, who didn't drink alcohol before, would get drunk on certain days.
Lin Chen took out two jars of fine wine from his storage ring, broke the wax seal, and sent them over using his immortal power.
Who would have thought that these two also possessed the strength of a True Immortal of the First Rank.
The two devoured the ferocious beasts of the Boundary Sea and drank heartily, displaying a carefree and unrestrained spirit as they roamed the Boundary Sea.
Before long, after finishing their meal, the two threw the empty jar containing the remaining bones into the Boundary Sea, watching as the turbulent currents and whirlpools instantly shredded it to ashes.
"Brother Wei, we've been traveling for a month now. How much further do we have to go?" Lin Chen asked.
Wei Xian closed his eyes and secretly activated the Linglong Mountain within his body, sensing the faint, similar aura within the Boundary Sea.
"It should be soon. In five more days, we will be able to reach that place."
Lin Chen's green eyes swept forward.
"I wonder if the other side has sensed us?"
Wei Xian replied:
“We have possessed this fragment of our body for over a thousand years, and we are more adept at controlling it than the other side. They should not be able to sense our presence for the time being.”
"temporary?"
"Yes, for now. Mount Buzhou is a single entity. No matter how much stronger our control becomes, the other side will sense it as soon as we get close."
Lin Chen nodded knowingly.
"So what if they sense it? I think they won't be so ungrateful once they see our strength."
"Hehe, that's for sure. How could someone who just obtained the remnants of Buzhou Mountain possibly fight against us?"
Lin Chen suddenly frowned and asked again:
"Brother Wei, didn't you say there were three pieces of remains? Where is the last one?"
Wei Xian squinted at a certain direction and pointed it out with his hand.
"That piece is in that direction."
Lin Chen seemed surprised. "You've already sensed the location of the other piece? Is it close? If it is, why don't we go get the other piece first?"
Wei Xian shook his head.
"That piece is probably the largest of the three, and we'll likely have a hard time taking it down."
Lin Chen was startled again upon hearing this.
"Brother Wei, what did you sense?"
Wei Xian replied, "A terrifying aura. It seems to have just awakened, but its aura only appeared for a moment before disappearing completely."
"Could it be that the other side has held the fort longer than we have?"
"Probably. After all, Mount Buzhou is so vast. If some of the original forces there are still alive and have continued to this day, they would be a force not to be underestimated."
Lin Chen's originally handsome face instantly gained a hint of murderous intent.
"The other side must have already discovered us. Should we take some measures?"
Wei Xian patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.
"Brother Lin, relax, I'm here for you."
Lin Chen glanced at him, the murderous intent on his face vanishing.
A hint of pity flashed across Wei Xian's eyes.
Ever since his entire family was tragically killed, his brother Lin Chen has been on edge at the slightest provocation.
Wei Xian continued:
"We are closer to the remnant of Mount Buzhou that just appeared, while the enemy is still far away from us and from that place. If we get that remnant first, and combine the two pieces, we might have the strength to fight the enemy."
Even if we can't defeat them, we can still escape safely!
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wei, I trust your judgment."
The two continued to steer the treasure ship, speeding through the boundary sea.
...
In the Boundary Sea further back in another direction from Wei Xianlin Chen.
The five giant ships formed a triangular shape, crossing the border sea like warships.
The giant ship forcefully pushed aside the waves of the boundary sea, and even the turbulent currents and whirlpools could not stop its forward momentum with their terrifying tearing force.
On the five giant ships, two magical treasures were constantly rotating around them.
One is a pitch-black star chart, and the other is a golden jade disc.
The astrolabe is a dim star that can swallow up light, while the jade disc is a fixed star that can release light.
The two are like the sun and moon taking turns; each rotation represents a day or month that has passed.
With this spiritual treasure, we will count the days for the five ships.
In fact, cultivators are extremely sensitive to the passage of time, and even without these magical treasures, they can accurately tell the time.
But they used these magical artifacts to make life on the giant ship more like that in the normal world, for one reason only.
Every time the golden disc rises, shouts erupt from all five giant ships.
"Black Slaughter True Immortal, his magical power is boundless!"
"When a true immortal is born, there are no more immortals in the world!"
These fawning slogans echoed throughout the five giant ships, eventually reaching the even larger ship at the top, where they elicited a domineering and boundless echo.
"Is today's meal ready?"
"Reporting to the True Immortal, everything is ready!"
A servant responded loudly.
"Then why don't you serve it up so that I and my three thousand beauties can feast to our hearts' content?"
At this time, several cultivators would bring the slaughtered, cooked, or roasted young prey from the lower decks of the four giant ships below, and deliver them in large platters to the giant ship where the Black Slaughter Immortal was located.
The louder sounds often came from the bottom of those four giant ships.
"To dedicate oneself to the Black Slaughter True Immortal is to ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
The echoes reverberated continuously above the giant ship, sounding extremely terrifying and chilling.
At the bottom of the giant ship, all were ordinary people.
Their purpose in living was for the monks aboard the giant ship.
Unbeknownst to them, streams of dark, resentful energy spread out, traveling up the giant wheels layer by layer, and then seeping into the largest of the giant wheels.
The Black Slaughter Immortal seemed to be laughing even more merrily inside. (End of Chapter)
