Chu Tianyao's expression changed!
Shao Lingyun said she came from the Celestial Realm, which didn't match the information Xiao Ruoli had given her...
From the information Xiao Ruoli described, Chu Tianyao learned that Shao Lingyun had a body in the Upper Realm that he needed to find.
If that were all, then given Chu Tianyao's current strength, it would be a piece of cake!
But if Shao Lingyun is an immortal from the celestial realm, then I need to reassess this matter.
Chu Tianyao remained calm and said, "You said you come from the Immortal Realm, could you be an immortal?"
Shao Lingyun nodded. "I used to be a true immortal, but now I'm just a crippled immortal!"
"..." After a moment of contemplation, Chu Tianyao asked, "Since you are an immortal, why did you leave your body in the Upper Realm?"
"And your soul has even fallen into the Lower Realm, does that make any sense?!"
Shao Lingyun slowly said, "The Immortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm have completely different ecological environments; the latter is far more cruel and dangerous."
"Why is that?" Chu Tianyao frowned. "Aren't immortals already immortal? Why do you say the immortal realm is more dangerous than the cultivation world?"
"The Immortal Realm is vast beyond measure!" Shao Lingyun said calmly. "Below the Immortal Realm are countless Upper Realms, and below the Upper Realms are countless Lower Realms..."
"Countless beings compete for immortality, only those who emerge victorious can become immortals..." Shao Lingyun said calmly, "But within the vast Immortal Realm, the number of immortals is measured in trillions!"
"Even immortals in the celestial realm are divided into different realms, and not all immortals can achieve immortality..."
"The realms in the Immortal Realm, from lowest to highest, are Half-Immortal, True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, and Immortal Emperor. Each of these six major realms also has nine minor realms."
"After successfully transcending the tribulation and ascending from the Upper Realm, one can enter the realm of a half-immortal. A half-immortal... is someone who has the qualification to enter the Immortal Realm for cultivation, but is not a complete immortal."
"The Half-Immortal Realm is a transitional realm where a cultivator completely transforms into an immortal. It can also be seen as the Quasi-Immortal Realm, with a lifespan of 100,000 years!"
"Upon entering the True Immortal Realm, one becomes a flawless immortal. Those in the True Immortal Realm possess an immortal body, master certain immortal techniques and supernatural powers, and have a lifespan of 300,000 years!"
"Upon reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, one's immortal body becomes more refined, and one's immortal techniques are far more profound than those of a True Immortal. One gains a certain status and prestige in the Immortal Realm, and one's lifespan is millions of years!"
"Upon entering the Golden Immortal realm, one possesses boundless magical power, a near-immortal body, and the ability to condense a Great Luo Golden Body or a Dharma Heaven and Earth Manifestation! Immortals in the Golden Immortal realm hold extremely high status and power in the Immortal Realm, and are revered by countless other immortals. Their lifespan is ten million years!"
"The strength of the Immortal King realm is enough to rule over a region of the Immortal Realm and wield powerful Immortal Domain forces. It is also from the Immortal King realm onwards that true immortality is achieved, with no further limitations on lifespan!"
"The Immortal Emperor Realm is the pinnacle of existence in the Immortal Realm. Its strength is unfathomable, and it holds the lifeline of the entire Immortal Realm in its hands."
Shao Lingyun recounted the six realms of the Immortal Realm: "Immortals compete for immortal energy and various opportunities in the Immortal Realm in order to cultivate stronger! The battles and struggles between them are far more cruel than those in the cultivation world."
"Therefore, the Immortal Realm also has major Immortal Sects, and the immortals within these sects support each other and defend against external enemies. In essence, it is no different from the cultivation world and the mortal world."
Shao Lingyun continued, "The immortal sect I belong to is called the Azure Wave Immortal Sect. It's located in the Azure Wave Sea in the southern part of the Immortal Realm..."
"The Azure Wave Immortal Sect is not a major sect, but it is located in a relatively remote area, so it is rarely disturbed by other immortal sects."
"Until one day, a powerful being from the Celestial Realm discovered that there might be a Celestial King-level artifact deep within the Azure Sea!"
"This event caused a sensation... Within a single day, representatives from dozens of major immortal sects arrived at the Azure Sea..."
Shao Lingyun sighed softly, "Our Bilan Immortal Sect is just an ordinary immortal sect. We have never seen such a spectacle before."
"Our sect leader of the Azure Waves Immortal Sect is only at the Celestial Immortal Realm. Faced with so many powerful representatives from other immortal sects, our Azure Waves Sect is treating them with utmost care..."
"But an unexpected event still occurred; the legendary Immortal King-level artifact was not found."
"These immortals who came to search for treasure were unwilling to make a wasted trip... After several discussions, they actually concluded that it was my Bilan Sect that was secretly keeping a Celestial King-level immortal artifact!"
Shao Lingyun slowly said, "These immortal sects represent powerful forces. The immortals who come to search for treasures... are at least at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and there are quite a few Golden Immortal Realm experts as well."
"Faced with such accusations, our Bilan Sect is speechless... Under the pressure of power, our sect has endured the humiliation of allowing these immortals to conduct a search."
"The result was naturally that they found nothing, but they didn't give up."
"After some discussion, they actually attacked our Bilan Sect!"
A hint of sadness appeared in Shao Lingyun's eyes. "Given the vast disparity in strength, the Bilan Immortal Sect is doomed."
"We members of the Immortal Sect scattered and fled. I was chased by a Celestial Immortal... Just when my life was hanging by a thread, the boundary between the Azure Sea and the Upper Realm opened."
"I had no choice but to grit my teeth and rush through the boundary wall, arriving in the Upper Realm..."
"During this process, I was severely blocked by the Heavenly Dao... A True Immortal's body cannot descend to the Upper Realm!"
"At the critical moment of life and death, I hardened my heart and severed my own life... reducing my cultivation level to the half-immortal realm."
"That's how my incomplete immortal body was able to descend into the Upper Realm, but during this process, my primordial spirit was almost annihilated by the impact of the Heavenly Dao's sealing and attack!"
"At the same time, the Heavenly Dao seems to have sensed my presence... Even a half-immortal cannot remain in the Upper Realm for long..."
"When the heavenly punishment descended, my primordial spirit was severely injured once again... My cultivation level plummeted again and again, eventually even falling to the Nascent Soul stage."
"However, it was precisely because of this that my soul left my body and fell to the Lower Realm... The Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm judged me to be dead, so the Heavenly Punishment dissipated."
"My soul wandered in the Lower Realm for many years! By chance, my soul was attached to Xiao Ruoli, who possessed the Extreme Yin Divine Body. The Extreme Yin Divine Body can perfectly support two different souls, and for the next few years, I shared a body with her."
"Chu Tianyao, that's roughly my situation."
After hearing Shao Lingyun's words, Chu Tianyao fell into a long silence.
He knew nothing about the celestial realm...
Because of his weak strength, the system had not previously introduced him to the situation of the Immortal Realm.
Shao Lingyun's explanation gave Chu Tianyao a general understanding of the Immortal Realm...
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly asked, "Where is your mangled body?"
"At the summit of Tiandu Peak," Shao Lingyun said slowly, "judging by the time, the once-in-a-century Immortal Realm Rift will open soon."
"After my soul returns to my remaining body, I will take advantage of the opening of this boundary wall to return to the Immortal Realm."
