Xie Yishang smiled and said, "These immortals are all queuing up to receive immortal crystals. The immortal realm provides certain support to the geniuses who ascend from the Upper Realm to the immortal realm."
"Every year, each immortal at the semi-immortal realm can receive ten immortal crystals. These ten immortal crystals can be used for cultivation or to purchase resources in the immortal realm."
"But items in the Immortal Realm are extremely expensive... Ten Immortal Crystals can't buy much, so most Half-Immortals choose to save them up."
Chu Tianyao nodded to himself, "Only ten immortal crystals per year. Even if you save them all up, it would take a hundred years to accumulate a thousand immortal crystals..."
"And a thousand immortal crystals can only buy one half-immortal realm immortal artifact..." Chu Tianyao's eyes shifted. "If that's the case..."
He lowered his voice and continued, "Fairy Xie, in the Immortal Realm, both immortal artifacts and elixirs for cultivation are extremely expensive."
"This annual salary of ten immortal crystals is probably not enough! Is fighting and plundering allowed here?"
Xie Yishang's expression changed slightly. She thought to herself, "This Chu Tianyao is quite astute; he realized the danger so quickly. If he could submit to me, he would be a useful pawn..."
You should know that Xie Yishang has been in the Immortal Realm for two hundred years!
For the past two hundred years, she has relied on frugality and the use of the Hehuan Technique to seduce other male immortals.
He had only just managed to acquire one semi-celestial artifact...
She used all the remaining immortal crystals for cultivation, and her current realm is the second level of the Half-Immortal Realm.
Xie Yishang's quick gestures of goodwill towards Chu Tianyao were certainly not out of genuine intention to become his Daoist partner.
Instead, she hoped to control Chu Tianyao through the Hehuan Secret Technique and make him a pawn in her game.
Xie Yishang thought for a moment and then said, "Fellow Immortal Chu is right... Except for the days when immortal crystals are distributed each year, immortals are completely allowed to fight each other and plunder each other's property at other times."
"The only way to leave this area is to break through to the True Immortal Realm... Otherwise, we will face life-or-death crises at any time!"
She looked at Chu Tianyao with a fervent gaze. "That's why I said I wanted to become Daoist partners with Fellow Daoist Chu and fight against any potential crises together."
Xie Yishang thought to herself, "That's why I need more cannon fodder... to help me resist danger. And this Chu Tianyao's physique is so... delicious. If I can use the Joyful Union Technique, it will be of great benefit to my cultivation."
Chu Tianyao fell silent. "So that's how it is... So that's how it is! Damn it, this isn't a beginner's protection zone in the Immortal Realm, it's clearly a breeding ground for venomous insects!"
“Shao Lingyun is right. The Immortal Realm is much more cruel than the Cultivation Realm! When I ascended from the Lower Immortal Realm to the Upper Immortal Realm, I was only assigned to work in the mines... At least, on the surface, cultivators are not allowed to kill each other.”
"But after ascending to the Immortal Realm, this so-called novice protection zone has almost no restrictions on immortals in the half-immortal realm."
"With immortal crystals severely scarce, purchasing power is insufficient to support daily cultivation... the only option is to fight and plunder..."
"Rather than calling this a protected area for half-immortal cultivators, it's more like a dark forest, a kind of battle royale!"
"Is this setting intended to allow outstanding immortals to join the selection process of the immortal sects?"
"When a peerless genius, invincible in the cultivation world, ascends to the Immortal Realm in high spirits... he finds himself surrounded by countless peerless geniuses!"
"These unparalleled geniuses have gathered together... for a no-holds-barred, ruleless battle royale."
"Phew..." Chu Tianyao let out a long sigh. "Is this the survival rule of the Immortal Realm?!"
"If that's the case... isn't it too cruel?"
After pondering for a long time, Chu Tianyao composed himself and said, "This Xie Yishang cultivates the techniques of the Hehuan Sect... Her desire to get close to me is most likely for the purpose of sexual exploitation."
"I possess the Yin-Yang Derivation Heaven Technique, which can break all the secret techniques of the Joyful Union... If she has no ill intentions towards me, that's fine, but if she harbors evil thoughts towards me, don't blame me for being ruthless in forcing her to reap the rewards."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao smiled and said, "Fairy Xie's beauty is unparalleled and admirable. However, I have just ascended and am new to this place... I'm afraid I might be a burden to you."
"If the fairy is truly interested in me, please wait a while."
Xie Yishang smiled gently, "It's alright... Once Fellow Immortal Chu has received the Immortal Crystals, I'll show you around this place."
And so, Chu Tianyao stood in line, waiting for the distribution of the immortal crystals.
He glanced at the crowd in line. "These half-immortals, every single one of them has a look of wariness on their face... You can imagine what the living conditions here are like."
After a long while, it was finally Chu Tianyao's turn to receive the immortal crystals.
The one who distributed the immortal crystals was an immortal at the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm.
He glanced at Chu Tianyao and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you new here?"
"Fellow immortal, I am here on my first day of ascension."
"Hmm... Here are ten immortal crystals, please keep them safe." The immortal distributing the immortal crystals continued, "This place is called the Fallen Immortal Forest, where all the semi-immortal immortals who have ascended to the Immortal Realm live and cultivate."
"To protect the half-immortal realm immortals, no immortals above the true immortal realm will appear here. Once you break through to the true immortal realm here, you can leave the Fallen Immortal Forest."
"There are places selling immortal artifacts and elixirs within the Fallen Immortal Forest... These places are operated by the Immortal Kings of various Immortal Realms! Therefore, you cannot attack these establishments."
"One more thing, all fighting is prohibited on the day when immortal crystals are distributed each year. Apart from that, there are no taboos or other rules in the Fallen Immortal Forest."
The immortal at the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm looked at Chu Tianyao and asked, "Newcomer, did you hear me clearly?"
"Okay, I understand," Chu Tianyao replied.
The immortal's voice was very loud, and everyone around could hear it clearly.
In an instant, Chu Tianyao felt many eyes on him.
Most of them are malicious!
In the Fallen Immortal Forest, newcomers are generally easy prey...
Although there is no true fairyland or immortals of higher realms here.
However, even within the realm of semi-immortals, there are varying degrees of attainment.
For a demigod at the ninth level of the Immortal Realm who has lived in the Fallen Immortal Forest for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, killing a demigod who has just ascended to the Immortal Realm would be an extremely easy task.
Chu Tianyao received the immortal crystals and left in a hurry.
He arrived at a cave almost without stopping.
Before the cave dwelling, an immortal spoke up, "Fellow immortal, would you like to rent an immortal cave dwelling? A basic immortal cave dwelling costs ten immortal crystals per day."
Chu Tianyao was slightly taken aback. "What? This cave dwelling costs ten immortal crystals a day?!"
