Chapter 620: Intelligence from the Nine Realms - Lan Feng's True Perspective!
Five years have passed, and even though the first batch of passengers numbered only a dozen or so, there were figures like Yuanlong Lanfeng and Tianlong Fozi Bai Chengfeng who were among the top-ranking passengers.
If things go well, the second batch of passengers will not be a problem.
He had already prepared the photo-recording beads, and he would take photos throughout the entire process until he sent them into the True Spirit Realm. This "promotional video" was his core selling point for earning high-end resources.
Refining the Xuanmian crown consumed too much of his wealth.
The Sea Heart Ring is almost an empty shell and urgently needs new resources to fill it. The Nine Condensations and Nine Dispersions are still missing the last three cycles, so this ticket fee is still necessary.
"—Everyone! It's been a long time!"
"Brother Wei."
"Senior Wei."
"Fellow Daoist Wei."
The responses came one after another, with all sorts of comments, but all were very respectful, showing that the battle had truly made him famous.
"You're too kind. The matter we agreed on last time has been settled. The Divine Ship of the Boundary has been completely repaired, and today is the day we set off. We will depart once Fellow Daoist Jueqing arrives."
“Brother Wei is an honest man. In that case, we will wait and see Brother Wei display his great abilities.”
"That's an exaggeration."
Wang Yu treated these money-giving boys with great kindness.
They could talk about anything for a while. This wasn't because he had changed his nature, but because almost all of the first group of passengers came from major lineages in the True Spirit Realm.
One person's weight may not be enough.
However, if the quantity is large enough, he will be able to obtain information from various channels in the future when he is in the True Spirit Realm, and he will have ways to do whatever he wants.
This relationship can only be started now, but it's better to be prepared than not, and it will come in handy sooner or later.
Laying a foundation for social interactions first will give you a reason to bring gifts when you visit someone's home in the future.
The cultivation world is also made up of people. As long as they have normal thinking ability, a huge social network of human relationships will form. Wang Yu doesn't like to think about these things.
However, the situation in the True Spirit Realm is unknown.
What if you're enslaved and forced to mine right after ascending to immortality? Or what if you're captured and forced to sacrifice your cultivation to create "spirit stones"?
certainly.
This kind of paranoia is not unique to him. For cultivators in the lower realms, once they reach a certain level, almost everyone has a sensitive and stress-prone constitution.
Wang Yu took advantage of the free time he still had.
He took the initiative to come to Lanfeng's side and inquire about the situation.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Fellow Daoist Lanfeng."
"Brother Wei, you're too kind."
This half-human, half-dragon cultivator has an extremely strange and handsome appearance. He was born with the [Abyss Water] supernatural power, and his bloodline talent is equivalent to half a true spirit bloodline, but the specific grade is unknown.
Like Qingqing, he also traveled through the True Spirit Realm.
He will go to the Heavenly Demon Realm to cultivate at the mountain headquarters of the Demon Dragon Lineage. This guy is different from those who can only be considered "elite members" and have moderate potential.
Lanfeng possesses the qualities of a great master.
Such potential seeds can receive the most core treatment even in the demon dragon lineage, while in the nine peak human realms, regardless of the strength of the lineage, the number of such individuals is kept at an extremely low level.
This is a method devised by the Celestial Palace to prevent the "privileged class" from becoming too powerful.
Even if you consume a lot of resources, the population is small, and resources are still limited.
With fewer people around, the probability of others offending you is lower, which indirectly increases the probability of a genius from the bottom standing out.
With a small population, even the most greedy person would lack trustworthy and capable individuals. Giving up the management of the Middle Thousand Worlds would be the biggest concession the Immortal Palace could make.
In conclusion.
The original intention of this system was to ensure a smooth path for advancement for the lower classes of the human race, so as to ensure that geniuses and prodigies would emerge in an endless stream. However, there are always ways to circumvent the policies.
The number of people in a lineage is regulated by the Heavenly Laws and Celestial Regulations.
Then support other lineages to form a hierarchical supply relationship, thereby gaining more manpower and resources. The Xuanhuang Battle Immortal Division is the only exception.
That's why.
Lan Feng's background will grant him immense power once he joins an organization, and the importance that the legal lineage places on core members like them is entirely different.
This is why his understanding of the spirit world is more comprehensive.
Wang Yu asked him about this, and it must be true.
really.
Hearing his question and doubt, Lanfeng smiled.
"It seems that Brother Wei has not yet truly entered the core of a certain lineage. If that's the case... there are indeed some things that need to be mastered in advance."
Wang Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
"I would be grateful if you could enlighten me, fellow Daoist."
"Brother Wei, are you aware of the Primal Demon Realm, which is the enemy of the Vast Immortal Realm? Of course, the demons prefer to call it the Holy Realm and refer to themselves as the Holy Race."
"That's natural."
"That's simple. The Celestial Palace generally has two arrangements for ascendants. The first is that if you are skilled in all kinds of arts, you will be assigned to the [Merit and Merit Department] to make talismans, refine pills, and forge war magic weapons. You will usually serve for five hundred years before you are given a real opportunity to join the Celestial Palace's orthodoxy."
"The legitimate lineage of the Celestial Palace?"
Wang Yu frowned.
This was completely different from the Cangmang Immortal Palace he knew. Ninety percent of his knowledge of the Immortal Palace came from the inherited memories of the Ice Phoenix bloodline.
These phoenix-like true spirit races are born to represent auspiciousness and good fortune, which is recognized by the Heavenly Dao of the Universe. Great beings are proud to ride auspicious beasts.
A prodigy who can gain the recognition of a mythical beast as his master is considered to have the potential for great enlightenment. Such a creature is a popular item in the elite circles and a symbol of status, much like certain sports cars with collectible value in the previous life.
Nowadays.
Most of the True Spirit Beasts live peacefully in the [Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm], with twelve True Immortal Realm True Spirits guarding it and countless Mahayana powerhouses under its command. It is a truly peaceful and happy place.
The Phoenix Clan of the Wutong Realm is one of the leaders of the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Domain. Yan Ling and others are truly separated from them by countless worlds and a vast cosmic sea.
For Wang Yu, the Ice Phoenix's inherited memories represent the perspective of the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm. The Phoenix's understanding of the Vast Immortal Palace is based on a relatively high level of insight, but is rather superficial.
This led to Wang Yu's understanding of the Immortal Palace and various lineages being tinged with the Phoenix Clan's "prejudice," which was... fairness.
Because of his humble origins, Lan Feng didn't even know his true background before he gained the attention of the Demon Dragon lineage.
When he suddenly acquired the identity of "second-generation dragon," he viewed everything from the perspective of the lower class, which made it seem...real.
This was exactly the information Wang Yu needed.
therefore.
Hearing his question about the meaning of the Celestial Palace's orthodoxy, she gave a matter-of-fact explanation.
"Yes, the so-called orthodox lineage is the successor of the Nine Heavens."
"The cultivation holy land created by the Nine Immortals of the Human Race corresponds to the [Tai Xuan Heaven] in the True Spirit Realm. Ordinary ascendants can only exchange one opportunity for creating value for the Immortal Palace for five hundred years."
"Successful people naturally rise to the top in one step. The status of the Nine Heavens Successor is a notch higher than that of the Myriad Paths Lineage. However, there are very few successful people. Those who fail the test can only start from the bottom as Heavenly Soldiers."
Wang Yu silently processed this information, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.
"What about the second one?"
"The second type is those who don't have any special skills, but should be good at fighting. They will arrange for you to join the Xuanhuang Battle Immortal Department and enter the vast front line where you confront the demons, with battle merits as the standard of measurement."
"You will also have one chance to exchange your battle merits for the Nine Heavens Assessment. If you fail, you can only slowly climb up from the Battle Immortal Department until the Immortal Palace appoints you as a Realm Lord and grants you a world as your fiefdom. Only then will you be considered to be in a high position."
In this situation, it's not really fair to call it a good thing.
It's hard to say, but he did provide a complete promotion ladder.
But for those who ascend, who wasn't a powerful ruler before ascending? They've been in control of the lives and deaths of countless beings, used to being high above others. If you asked them to start from the bottom, they might not be able to adapt.
This kind of person.
They have no shortage of talent, intelligence, and strategic vision. The Celestial Palace is underestimating them too much. After all, many things in the world cannot be summed up by talent alone.
"Does the True Spirit Realm not have any independent cultivators? Or forces other than the Immortal Palace?"
Lan Feng sighed.
"No, there really isn't. The Celestial Palace's Heavenly Laws and Regulations prioritize the human race, and all regulations are designed to strengthen the human race and cultivate more immortal beings."
"Brother Wei actually sees the division of the Nine Realms as nine different cultivation strategies. The True Spirit Realm places particular emphasis on internal strife and has the largest number of people in it."
"The Demon Realm follows the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and believes that the strong should rule everything. Therefore, those who emerge from this place are all extremely powerful cultivators."
"The Heavenly Demon Realm follows the ancient laws of bloodlines, prioritizing talent above all else and regarding bloodlines as the highest honor. There are quite a few rogue demon cultivators here, and those with insufficient bloodlines are generally left to their own devices..."
Lan Feng said a lot, and Wang Yu was also thinking about the path that suited him.
The decision to have him join Tai Xuan Tian was made by the True Immortal Xuan De.
It now seems that joining... is the assessment.
His expertise in human alchemy and blood alchemy was clearly unsuitable for the True Spirit Realm. There were no materials for him to use, and normal alchemy techniques lacked inheritance, so he was stuck at the early stage of the fifth rank.
Therefore, the first path is not suitable for him.
The second path requires fighting against the demons, risking your life for battle merits, and in the end, you still have to exchange for the Nine Heavens Assessment opportunity yourself. What's the difference between this and paying for your own job?
Risking your life for a chance doesn't guarantee a proportional return.
It would be better to just kill him.
The dangers of war are self-evident. There is no rule against bullying the weak here. If you encounter a demon who is comparable to a Dao-Merging expert, you can easily crush him, just like Kong Kongzi.
This path is not suitable for him either.
While pondering, Wang Yu asked again.
"What Fellow Daoist Lanfeng just mentioned were ordinary ascendants. Are there any special ones?"
"nature.
"The successors of the Dharma lineage can be assigned positions in the eight departments of the Immortal Palace based on their status in the lineage. They have a lot of freedom, and their cultivation is mostly arranged by themselves."
"I see. So he roughly understands the structure of the Vast Immortal Palace." Seeing his thoughtful expression, Lan Feng mentioned the second special channel.
"Descendants of powerful beings, this is specially prepared for the second generation. Generally, only those with the bloodline of Mahayana can receive the preferential treatment of the Immortal Palace. After all, their fathers have sacrificed their lives for the human race, and this is what they deserve."
"However, this is only the second generation; the third generation will have to rely on themselves."
"Just these two special channels?"
"Otherwise what?"
"What about those of us who ascend on our own, or those rogue cultivators who enter the upper realm without following the orthodox path..."
"This type could be considered the third category, albeit with some difficulty."
"Those with connections need not be told; they can simply report to their respective lineages. If they ascend unexpectedly, they can follow the local rules no matter where they go in the Nine Realms, except in the True Spirit Realm."
“The True Spirit Realm is considered the headquarters of the Vast Immortal Palace. These ‘unexpected people’ are regarded as lucky and start as celestial soldiers without having to enter the front-line battlefield.”
This conversation proved to be very beneficial to Wang Yu.
He rarely expressed his sincere gratitude, and after acknowledging this favor, he weighed the pros and cons and felt that the True Immortal Xuande had presented him with a difficult problem.
Furthermore, the fact that the Immortal Palace headquarters is located in the True Spirit Realm somewhat confirms the strength of this immortal, who is definitely among the top, or even the number one, powerful True Immortals among the Nine Immortals.
Resisting such an arrangement given by a powerful force inevitably causes anxiety.
But if you actually follow the arrangements, you'll inevitably feel frustrated.
"Bitterness..."
A sigh escaped my lips as I pondered a solution.
The Ruthless Ancestor Li Chunyi finally arrived, and Wang Yu quickly composed himself and put on a smile again.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you've finally arrived. May I ask about borrowing the coordinates of the ascension passage?"
"Brother Wei and I are close friends, and we have often traded these coordinates, so there is absolutely no problem with them."
“I have not only the coordinates of the True Spirit Realm, but also the coordinates of the other eight realms. This is not a secret. It’s just a pity that the ascension passage of the Mountain and Sea Realm was set up by the Forgetfulness Lineage, so it can only be accessed from the True Spirit Realm.”
Li Chunyi rattled off a whole bunch of nonsense.
Wang Yu, however, astutely extracted the keyword "transaction".
It seems that others who take the smuggling route also buy coordinates from Xiaoji Palace. They have coordinates from all nine peak upper realms. They really know how to make money.
"Fellow Daoist Li is righteous, and I, Wei, will not be stingy either. When I return, I will help you try the mortal world's heart-refining test three more times, how about that?"
"Very well, very well, Brother Wei is truly a kindred spirit!"
The two of them were putting on an act, feigning politeness.
This truly shocked everyone.
Even Lan Feng and Tianlong Buddha were speechless, looking at the two people over and over again as if they were getting to know them all over again.
After reaching a consensus.
The group followed Li Chunyi to the ascension passage. The layout here was very similar to the ancient teleportation array that Wang Yu had seen before, but it was based on the celestial constellations.
"Each activation of this Flying Immortal Star Chart requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, which even the Mountain and Sea Realm, after numerous modifications, cannot supply for a long period of time. Therefore, each activation requires a hundred years of accumulation."
Li Chunyi also gave a brief explanation, instructing Wang Yu to take out the Boundary-Opening Divine Ship and directly imprint the star map onto the ship's control center. He also thoughtfully marked the locations of the other eight realms for him.
In this way...
The Boundary-Breaking Divine Ship can then automatically navigate to its destination.
He added his instructions.
"The star map route from the Mountain and Sea Realm to the True Spirit Realm has been used countless times by predecessors, and its safety performance reaches 99%. Just follow the star map route."
"But if Brother Wei wants to go to other upper realms, he needs to carefully consider the route and try to take the route with existing ascension channels."
"I understand, thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Li."
"It's alright, you're my confidant!"
Seeing that the two had arrived again, Lan Feng couldn't help but urge them on.
"Now that everything is ready, Fellow Daoist Wei, let's set off. If Zhao Mo finds out about this, he will inevitably cause trouble."
"good."
Wang Yu readily agreed, tossing out the Boundary-Opening Divine Ship for everyone to board. He then waved to Li Chun, activating the power supply core to draw power from the Chaos Spirit Pearl.
In an instant, it broke through the spatial layer and plunged straight into the cosmic sea.
