Chu Tianyao strolled through the immortal's cave, remarking, "The immortal energy and spiritual atmosphere here are incredibly rich, far surpassing that of the outside world..."
"This is still a basic immortal cave dwelling. If it were a high-level immortal cave dwelling... I wonder how good the cultivation environment would be!"
At the same time, the system's voice rang out again.
"Ding! The host's location is detected to have a very rich immortal energy atmosphere... After calculation and evaluation, the host can obtain a higher amount of immortal essence each day by cultivating here..."
"Ding! The calculation result is that the host can automatically obtain one hundred immortal essence points per day."
At that moment, Chu Tianyao was overjoyed.
"One hundred Immortal Essence Points per day, which is twice the amount of Immortal Essence Points I received before!"
"If that's the case... I only need ten days to break through a minor realm!"
"In seventy-eight days, I can obtain 7,800 Immortal Essence!" Chu Tianyao revealed a look of joy. "That's enough for me to advance directly from the second level of the Half-Immortal Realm to the ninth level!"
"When I advance to the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm, I will have no fear of any opponent in the Fallen Immortal Forest!"
"Whether the opponent is one person, a hundred, or millions, in a battle against equals, I will surely crush them all..."
Chu Tianyao sat cross-legged, circulating his immortal energy throughout his body, and began his cultivation.
......
When Xie Yishang woke up, she found that her storage bag was missing.
This storage bag contains a semi-immortal artifact and more than seventy immortal crystals.
This is Xie Yishang's savings accumulated over two hundred years in the Fallen Immortal Forest.
But now all those savings are gone...
Xie Yishang hadn't recovered from this blow when she found herself demoted to the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm...
She's completely devastated!
"Damn it! Damn Chu Tianyao! Not only did he steal my storage bag... but he also... he beat me... beat me so badly that I fell down to a lower cultivation level!"
Xie Yishang put on her clothes. "This Chu Tianyao is actually unaffected by my charm! Is he... is he even a man?!"
"But if he's not a man...how could he have caused me to fall so low?!" She gritted her teeth and cursed fiercely, "He's a beast!"
The following morning, Xie Yishang went out to search for Chu Tianyao's whereabouts.
She couldn't swallow this insult and was determined to get her revenge!
Xie Yishang first sought out several of his admirers.
A total of seven immortals at the half-immortal realm fell under Xie Yishang's allure...
The one with the highest cultivation level was an immortal at the seventh level of the Half-Immortal Realm!
It's hard to imagine that Xie Yishang could capture an immortal whose cultivation level was so much higher than hers just by using her body.
The seven immortals immediately went to inquire about Chu Tianyao's whereabouts.
Xie Yishang's order was that as long as Chu Tianyao was found, he should be killed without mercy!
Soon, news arrived... Chu Tianyao had entered the immortal's cave!
Xie Yishang's face turned ashen. "Damn it! The immortal's cave is such an expensive place, I haven't even dared to go in myself..."
"Chu Tianyao was able to enter the immortal's cave with immortal crystals, presumably because he picked up my storage bag... Such extravagance and waste is truly outrageous!"
Xie Yishang cursed fiercely, "A celestial abode requires at least ten celestial crystals a day. I want to see how many days you, you dog thief, can hide in there."
Ten days later, Chu Tianyao still hadn't come out.
The immortals guarding outside began to look puzzled.
Xie Yishang was even more surprised and doubtful. "This Chu Tianyao has just ascended to the Immortal Realm. Apart from the ten Immortal Crystals he received and the Immortal Crystals in his storage bag, where did he get so many Immortal Crystals to live in the Immortal Cave all this time?"
"Could this guy have sold my semi-immortal artifact?!"
Thirty days later, no one appeared outside the immortal's cave.
Xie Yishang began to realize that something was wrong. "It's unlikely... If Chu Tianyao takes my semi-immortal artifact to an artifact shop, he can only sell it for five hundred immortal crystals."
"If I were him, there would be no reason to give up a celestial artifact just to exchange for five hundred celestial crystals. Chu Tianyao must have other secrets."
After pondering for a long time, Xie Yishang decided to find other immortals in the Fallen Immortal Forest to cooperate in hunting down Chu Tianyao.
She arrived at a hermitage of immortals.
There was a half-immortal, third-level immortal standing in front of the stronghold. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Xie Yishang, then smiled and said, "Fairy Xie, you've come to sell to our boss again?!"
Xie Yishang wasn't angry. She just smiled and said, "Wang Shuang, call your boss, Shangguan, out. I have something important to discuss."
Wang Shuang chuckled, "What important matter? It's nothing more than that kind of thing... Is Fairy Xie running out of immortal crystals lately and planning to sell some?"
This stronghold is a faction within the Fallen Immortal Forest.
The leader of this force is called Shangguan Nu, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm!
Shangguan Nu is also one of the strongest immortals in the entire Fallen Immortal Forest.
For the past hundred years, Xie Yishang would regularly come here to meet with Shangguan Nu in secret.
Afterwards, Shangguan Nu will give Xie Yishang some fairy crystals as a reward.
Having seen many other immortals in the stronghold, they began to joke around with Xie Yishang.
Xie Yishang was originally a cultivator who ascended from the Hehuan Sect, and she had absolutely no sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame.
Therefore, Xie Yishang didn't care at all about the other immortals' teasing.
But at that moment, she suddenly put on a stern face. "Wang Shuang, I have important business to discuss with Shangguan Nu. Stop joking around."
Seeing that Xie Yishang's expression didn't seem fake, the immortal named Wang Shuang let out a soft "Eh."
Then he said, "Please wait a moment, Fairy Xie. I will ask the boss to come out now."
A moment later, Shangguan Nu came out.
Shangguan Nu, a cultivator at the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm, walked slowly, like a war god who had come from ancient times!
He was surrounded by a faint aura of immortality and a powerful presence.
His figure was tall and upright, standing firm like a pine tree. Every muscle contained explosive power, yet it appeared supple under the influence of ethereal energy.
Shangguan Nu's face was as sharp as if carved by a knife, with sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards to his temples, and deep eyes that exuded an aura of domineering arrogance.
His long, jet-black hair fluttered gently in the wind, with a few strands falling unruly across his forehead, adding to his air of untamed arrogance.
Shangguan Nu was surrounded by faint halos of immortal light, a sign of his ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm cultivation.
His immortal body is almost perfect, which means he is very, very close to the realm of true immortals!
