Chapter 306: This Is Not the Immortal Realm, These Immortals Are Strange Immortals
Li Tianwei looked at the surrounding scenery, sensing the aura around him, and came to such a conclusion.
“System, are you certain this is the Immortal Realm?”
Holding onto this doubt, Li Tianwei immediately asked the System within his consciousness.
【According to the remaining information from the Main System, this is indeed the Immortal Realm, but it cannot be ruled out that the information it provided has problems.】
The System immediately replied as well. Having lost the support of the Main System, the System currently had no way to obtain intelligence and information from the Main System, so it did not dare to make a definite judgment.
According to the System’s expectations, normally speaking, shouldn’t the Immortal Realm be like an immortal paradise?
However, the scene before its eyes, whether it was the cultivators or the aura enveloping the surroundings, was completely different from what it had expected.
The System even wondered whether it had stayed with Li Tianwei for too long and had actually started learning from Li Tianwei, randomly imagining things.
The System probably had not expected that Li Tianwei also had the same feeling as it did, which was why he did not dare to confirm it.
Since the System could not determine it, Li Tianwei could only turn around and ask another one.
“Spirit Dragon, Spirit Dragon, come out.”
Li Tianwei had not forgotten that there was another fellow inside his body.
The Golden Dragon Pattern engraved on the back of Li Tianwei’s hand lightly flickered.
The Spirit Dragon, which had originally been sleeping, slowly awakened.
“What happened? What’s going on?”
The awakened Spirit Dragon was also filled with confusion.
“I have already ascended. You need to see whether this place is the Immortal Realm.”
Li Tianwei immediately asked.
“Ascension?”
The Spirit Dragon poked its head out from the back of Li Tianwei’s hand and carefully examined Li Tianwei.
Feeling the aura of the Spirit Transformation Realm on Li Tianwei while combining it with Li Tianwei’s words, the Spirit Dragon also became somewhat confused.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, Li Tianwei was a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator. Could a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator ascend?
The Spirit Dragon had lived for such a long time, yet it had never encountered such a situation before.
However, since Li Tianwei had said so, the Spirit Dragon naturally believed him. After all, this fellow was so strange that anything was possible.
Thinking of this, the Spirit Dragon immediately sensed the aura outside.
“Huh?”
It would have been fine if it had not sensed anything, but once it did, the Spirit Dragon discovered something was deeply wrong. After all, it had already been carrying out the arrangement in the lower realm according to the agreement for hundreds of thousands of years.
During these hundreds of thousands of years, anything could have changed, and the aura of this so-called Immortal Realm was already completely different from the Immortal Realm where it had once existed.
At this moment, the Spirit Dragon even somewhat suspected that there was another Immortal Realm.
The aura here, as well as that energy extremely similar to Immortal Energy, was undoubtedly quite similar to the Immortal Energy of the era it had once existed in.
However! Whether it was the Laws or anything else, everything was completely different.
Similar, but fundamentally different.
“I cannot be certain. The energy aura here, as well as the various rules and Laws, are extremely similar to the Immortal Realm I once lived in, but there are still many differences.”
“If we judge by energy concentration, this place is about the same as the Immortal Realm I once stayed in, but the energy system and everything else have changed.”
“Since I have followed the agreement until now, it has already been hundreds of thousands of years. Perhaps some unforeseen change occurred.”
The Spirit Dragon sensed for a long time before finally raising its head and looking at Li Tianwei, slowly telling him everything it had sensed.
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Li Tianwei also shook his head.
Although he had not obtained an answer, in Li Tianwei’s eyes, he felt that this place absolutely was not the Immortal Realm.
As for why he thought so, Li Tianwei relied on nothing but intuition. If he felt this place was not the Immortal Realm, then it was not the Immortal Realm.
“My intuition has never been wrong.”
At least from Li Tianwei’s perspective, this place was different from the Immortal Realm he believed in, and that alone was enough.
Since he had reached a conclusion, Li Tianwei no longer continued dwelling on it.
Whether this was the Immortal Realm or not was an insignificant matter. The most important thing was that this Immortal Realm at the very least had to conform to the Immortal Realm he believed in.
Only then could it be called the Immortal Realm! In Li Tianwei’s view, the Immortal Realm should be like that.
Meanwhile, on the other side, because of this energy disturbance, the smuggling passage from the lower realm beneath Ascendant Immortal City had been torn apart.
Xu Guqing, who had originally still been calmly evaluating those cultivators, also had his face turn pale, and traces of anger could faintly be seen in his eyes.
“Who dares to ruin the matters of my Supreme Immortal Alliance?”
Xu Guqing took a single step and instantly arrived above the location of the disturbance.
As he rose, that aura which stood above all living beings pressed down upon the many cultivators who had just emerged from the smuggling passage.
“Is this an Immortal?”
“An Immortal?”
Looking at Xu Guqing in the sky, who carried a Circular Radiance behind him, radiated multicolored light throughout his body, and merely standing in the air gave the feeling of Dao Intents resonating, the cultivators present could not help but raise their heads and exclaim in astonishment.
Their eyes were even filled with envy and longing.
After all, what was the purpose of their cultivation? Was it not to become Immortals? As long as they became Immortals, eternal life would be right before their eyes.
Everything would eventually have a good ending.
Xu Guqing naturally would not care about the gazes of those cultivators. Instead, he lightly circulated Immortal Power and wiped his hand across the sky.
The area below that had originally been completely destroyed due to the disturbance and was still emitting thick smoke instantly vanished.
The scene below was revealed. A huge crack carried a destructive aura from Spatial Turbulence.
Seeing this scene, Xu Guqing deeply frowned.
As the most ordinary Human Immortal among Immortals, Xu Guqing could also identify through the Laws and patterns of the world that the energy disturbance below originated from Spatial Turbulence.
“Is it that thing?”
Seeing this Spatial Turbulence, Xu Guqing’s first reaction was that existence which could not be mentioned.
And this existence that could not be mentioned was the great calamity currently faced by the Immortal Realm. This kind of existence, which could not even be mentioned, had already occupied one-third of the Immortal Realm’s original territory.
It was precisely because of this that the Immortal Realm continued expanding outward. In order to complete the missions arranged by those great powers, there was the matter of Ascendant Immortal City going to the lower realm to find cultivators for development.
Of course, Xu Guqing knew that this was merely an excuse. At the very least, before this incident happened, the Supreme Immortal Alliance had always been bringing people up from the lower realm to work.
The undeveloped lands contained massive amounts of resources, as well as blessings that the Immortal Realm would bestow.
Regardless, the Supreme Immortal Alliance had always been doing these things.
Now that he saw traces of this Spatial Turbulence, Xu Guqing also thought that those existences had arrived in the Heaven-Subduing Domain.
“Looks like I need to report this. Let those Great Immortals handle it!”
Seeing this, Xu Guqing had no intention of going down to investigate.
As the most ordinary Human Immortal, he also had a lifespan of more than a hundred thousand years.
As long as he could survive safely, he would basically be able to grow into a Heavenly Immortal.
Therefore, Xu Guqing did not want to die, so he immediately used a technique to record the scene here.
“The Teleportation Formation is now damaged. Those who have already arrived in the Immortal Realm will be assigned work according to the previous arrangements.”
After recording everything, Xu Guqing continued arranging those cultivators brought from the lower realm just as before.
However, when looking at these cultivators, Xu Guqing still regarded them as goods.
In Xu Guqing’s eyes, only Immortals truly counted as having broken free and being able to stand together with him.
Otherwise, whether they were Union Realm or Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators, they were merely consumables.
Take these cultivators who came from the lower realm. Did they not come because the Immortal Realm had enough energy to increase their cultivation speed, give them the chance to ascend into Immortals, and allow them to avoid undergoing the Ascension Tribulation?
Of course, these were merely what those cultivators believed themselves.
As someone who knew the truth, Xu Guqing understood that developing the Immortal Realm was not a good task. Otherwise, if Immortals were clearly stronger and possessed greater power, why would they not go develop it themselves?
Development would not give them resources for free, nor would it give them the blessings of the Immortal Realm for free. The price you paid for development was yourself.
Within the Immortal Realm’s endless void regions, the dark hell where nothing existed, if one wanted to pry it open, the only thing available was one’s own Origin.
Therefore, as long as one went to develop it, they had to use their Origin Power to open it. If they lost their Origin Power, that cultivator could be said to have already been crippled. They would no longer have the chance to become Immortals, and even their lifespan would be shortened.
And this was the price.
Therefore, Xu Guqing laughed at these people for their wishful thinking, truly believing that arriving at the Immortal Realm meant they had become successful and could become Immortals.
If they could not become Immortals below, then becoming Immortals after coming here would only be even harder.
“If not for the fact that both my parents are Immortals, I would not even have the chance to become an Immortal.”
“My Spiritual Root and my aptitude were both carefully selected by my parents and transplanted onto me.”
Xu Guqing grinned, his eyes filled with mockery.
He laughed at these cultivators, these ordinary people who were useless and could not see through the essence of everything in the world.
No matter how hard they cultivated, they would never become Immortals. Everything they accomplished through development would become resources for Immortals.
Even the children they gave birth to in the Immortal Realm, if they possessed good aptitude and Spiritual Roots, would become the foundation for the descendants of Immortals to become Immortals.
This was the true nature of the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, the existence of Ascension caused Immortals from the lower realm to appear from time to time, competing with native Immortals of the Immortal Realm for resources.
This was what allowed the Immortal Realm to maintain its superficial stability. Otherwise, everything in the entire Immortal Realm would become something these Immortals could freely harvest.
Xu Guqing laughed, but he did not notice that there was currently someone below staring at him.
“This is an Immortal?”
Li Tianwei listened to the words of those around him and their descriptions.
Especially when Xu Guqing said that this place was the Immortal Realm, Li Tianwei’s expression became increasingly solemn, even changing violently.
The System within Li Tianwei’s consciousness also noticed Li Tianwei’s sudden change in expression.
It had no idea what Li Tianwei had probably seen this time.
【Someone is about to suffer again.】
The System could not help but think this to itself.
As for Li Tianwei, the moment he saw Xu Guqing, he had already completely determined that this place absolutely was not the Immortal Realm.
That was right, absolutely not the Immortal Realm.
If the Gu Ning he encountered previously within the void had Immortal Light overflowing from his body and even revealed a glow of Merit, then in Li Tianwei’s eyes, he indeed matched the appearance of an Immortal.
But this fellow who had appeared now and was called an Immortal by others, in Li Tianwei’s eyes, was a sinister existence with pus flowing all over his face, covered in endless sins, with countless distorted black shadows surging behind him, a terrifying and vicious being.
As for his constant talk of the Immortal Realm, it further caused Li Tianwei to determine that he had definitely ascended to the wrong place.
This absolutely was not the Immortal Realm. This was a fake Immortal Realm.
“Immortal? I cannot see a single thing that an Immortal should have on him.”
“He is even more sinful than anyone I have seen in the Cultivation Realm.”
Li Tianwei muttered.
“I understand now. They are those unknown existences. They are the ones who turned the Immortal Realm into this state.”
Suddenly, Li Tianwei also gained enlightenment.
The gaze in his eyes, which had originally been unable to determine whether this place was the Immortal Realm, became clear. At this moment, he even felt as if his Dao Heart had become completely transparent.
“It must be like this.”
“Hahaha, damnable Strange Immortals.”
At this moment, toward this strange existence before him, Li Tianwei directly gave him such a name.
As for the words of those around him treating Xu Guqing as an Immortal, Li Tianwei completely ignored them.
In Li Tianwei’s eyes, these people had merely been deceived.
Since he had gained enlightenment and found the answer, Li Tianwei naturally could not watch this Strange Immortal deceive others here.
Thus, while everyone was still exclaiming about Xu Guqing.
Li Tianwei took a single step and directly flew into the air.
Xu Guqing, who had originally been enjoying the various gazes of the cultivators below while feeling fortunate about his uniqueness, saw Li Tianwei suddenly appear. A trace of disgust immediately appeared in his eyes.
“Damnable fellow, flying is forbidden below the Immortal level. Don’t you know that?”
Xu Guqing glared fiercely at Li Tianwei.
“A Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator who doesn’t even know his place.”
Xu Guqing was not a kind person. Facing such provocation from a consumable in his eyes.
He immediately formed hand seals, intending to completely erase Li Tianwei.
“Who is this person?”
“How dare he? That is an Immortal!”
“Immortals cannot be offended!”
“It was this Immortal who brought us to the Immortal Realm and gave us the opportunity to strive toward becoming Immortals. How could we possibly watch him be defiled?”
“Bastard, hurry and come down. That is an Immortal!”
The cultivators below immediately shouted.
Seeing this, Xu Guqing’s hand that was forming the hand seal paused, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Hahaha, too interesting, too interesting.”
Seeing these consumables, who treated someone like him—someone who intended to completely exhaust them and transform them into his own blessings—with such flattery.
Xu Guqing also rarely felt happy.
What could possibly be more interesting than this?
Xu Guqing had already imagined returning to the Supreme Immortal Alliance later and telling the others about these foolish cultivators.
As for Li Tianwei, he naturally would not listen to the words of those deceived people. His target had always only been one.
That was the evil existence before him, with pus flowing all over his face, his entire body wrapped in the appearance of sin, and evil to the extreme.
“Strange Immortal, die!”
Li Tianwei directly shouted, his voice exceptionally clear.
Hearing the title “Strange Immortal,” Xu Guqing was stunned, his face filled with confusion.
“What Strange Immortal?”
Just as Xu Guqing was confused.
The aura on Li Tianwei’s body had already exploded.
Boom……
The harmless Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator in Xu Guqing’s eyes instantly transformed into a terrifying Great Horror.
One Thousand Five Hundred Dao Intents rose into the heavens, the Great Luo Defiled Heaven Art Great Divine Ability unfolded, combined with Li Tianwei’s Heaven-Ending Yin Fiend that had condensed countless explosive secret techniques and evil techniques.
The entire Ascendant Immortal City seemed to be shrouded in sinister darkness.
