Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

"Captain Shi, long time no see."

Qin Ming smiled slightly, and his figure instantly transformed right before Shi Jin’s astonishing eyes.

Into the appearance of Shopkeeper Lu...

"This...Elder Lu..."

Shi Jin’s mind was swirling, especially when he combined the talks among fellow cultivators over the years and Hua Tianxiong’s exceptionally respectful attitude toward a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

It was not hard to guess that the young cultivator in front of him was probably the renowned True Monarch Wangyue in the Cultivation Realm.

A true Nascent Soul Great Power!

In fact, Shi Jin had met Nascent Soul True Monarchs before, but none had given him this kind of feeling. Qin Ming was the first.

At this moment, considering carefully, when Shi Jin first met Elder Lu over a decade ago, the latter was already at Golden Core Perfection.

Ten to one, he returned to the Southern Wilderness and quietly broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

"So it turns out Elder Lu is actually you, congratulations elder on achieving Great Success in Nascent Soul Formation! Junior pays respects to True Monarch Wangyue!"

"If Elder needs anything, please just command!"

Shi Jin felt both anxious and excited.

After all, Nascent Soul Great Powers are always eccentric, and his life was at the whim of the other party.

Squeezing him to death was easier than squeezing an ant.

Yet what excited him was the unexpected chance to meet such an influential figure in the Cultivation Realm.

"Hmm, no need for formalities. I’m planning to go to the East Sea Cultivation Realm and will be taking your ship," Qin Ming straightforwardly expressed his intention.

"There will be plenty of benefits for you once it’s done," Hua Tianxiong added.

Shi Jin quickly replied, "Being of service to True Monarch Wangyue, rewards are not something I could consider."

"Helping the elder is the greatest honor of my life!"

"Please, both of you, board the ship."

Soon after.

Qin Ming and his companion boarded the Black Sail.

Hua Tianxiong kept examining the shabby ship, doubting whether it could safely take them to the East Sea.

However, when he saw the peculiarly shaped Fishman Race crew, he was as astonished as Qin Ming was back then.

"Rest assured, the Black Sail is renowned for its speed. I’ve experienced it myself," Qin Ming calmly explained to him.

Hua Tianxiong’s face twitched at his words, responding awkwardly, "Haha! Indeed!"

Shi Jin arranged a superior cabin for both Qin Ming and Hua Tianxiong.

Then.

The Black Sail plunged into the deep sea, swimming swiftly like a giant shark.

Hua Tianxiong was left awestruck, greatly expanding his horizons.

Qin Ming called Shi Jin over to inquire about the East Sea Cultivation Realm news.

"You must be aware of the Blood Realm Descent Realm incident, right? How are things on the East Sea side?"

Shi Jin had his men serve a table of good wine and dishes for Qin Ming and his companion and then replied, "Reporting to elder, of course, I’m aware, and I even witnessed the Void Anomaly on an island myself."

"The one descending into the East Sea Cultivation Realm is the Ghost Hall from the Blood Realm."

"However, the East Sea Cultivation Realm is mighty, with the presence of a Divinity Transformation Sect. The demonic descent has not caused much of an impact."

"Divinity Transformation Sect, isn’t Fellow Daoist Shi referring to..." Hua Tianxiong was also surprised.

"That’s right, it’s the Star Palace that governs the vast East Sea Cultivation Realm. Besides the Venerable Divinity Transformation who has stood for over two thousand years, it’s said there are several Nascent Soul True Monarchs, too."

"Below Star Palace are the Penglai Sect, East Pole Island, Ancient Sword Sect, and Crystal Palace, four Nascent Soul Sects, each with a Nascent Soul True Monarch overseeing."

"The number of independent cultivator clan forces on the islands is countless."

Qin Ming nodded, "It seems the strength of the East Sea Cultivation Realm is much greater than that of the Southern Wilderness and Great Jin."

"Haha! Moreover, under the leadership of the Star Palace, the East Sea Cultivation Realm has formed a superpower, the ’Celestial Sea Alliance,’ unified and obeying orders, with no room for defiance."

"Junior also heard that the Celestial Sea Alliance is preparing to dispatch cultivators to support other major cultivation realms in jointly resisting the descent crisis," Shi Jin explained.

After hearing Shi Jin’s words, Qin Ming couldn’t help but sigh.

’The Southern Wilderness truly is too impoverished, with only one Nascent Soul Independent Cultivator...’

’Unlike other cultivation realms, filled with major sects and numerous Nascent Soul Sects, even facing descent, they can easily handle it.’

’With the existence of Divinity Transformation Sects, any Demon Monarch with a sound mind wouldn’t dare to venture recklessly into the East Sea, directly deterred.’

’Even the Sea Race Demon Beasts are exceptionally powerful.’

’Only when the Void Passage opens wide towards the descent’s end could the Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable cross through, I guess.’

’Right now, it’s unlikely, at most just the Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs.’

"I’m not sure what elder plans to do next?" Shi Jin wasn’t clear about Qin Ming’s final destination.

Qin Ming pondered briefly, then asked back, "Where is the most prosperous trade center in the East Sea Cultivation Realm?"

"That would naturally be the ’Celestial Wave Immortal City’ established by the Celestial Sea Alliance on Kuixing Island."

"The Celestial Wave Immortal City is the trade and exchange center of the East Sea Cultivation Realm, gathering almost all the large and small forces of the East Sea," Shi Jin replied as he served Spirit Tea to Qin Ming and Hua Tianxiong.

"As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, you can get all sorts of rare resources."

Qin Ming immediately decided, "Then let’s first head to Celestial Wave Immortal City."

"Yes! I will give the orders right away." Shi Jin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Qin Ming asked again, "By the way, I heard there’s going to be an ’Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly’ in the East Sea Cultivation Realm?"

"Yes, the Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly is the largest event in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, even the Sea Race participates."

"It will be held three years later on Dragon Abyss Island. True Monarch Wangyue, elder, if interested, there’s still plenty of time to attend," Shi Jin said.

Qin Ming nodded.

Under Qin Ming’s instructions, Shi Jin dared not slack off, temporarily giving up his pirate activities to sail at full speed and take them to Celestial Wave Immortal City.

...

...

After half a year.

"True Monarch Wangyue, Celestial Wave Immortal City has arrived."

The Black Sail surfaced from the water, and Qin Ming and the others walked to the ship’s bow.

Over the past few months, even while traveling in deep waters, the Black Sail still encountered several groups of demonic cultivators descending from another realm.

However, they were all low-tier demonic cultivators, easily swept away.

Gradually, a black spot on the sea surface enlarged and became clearer.

Even before approaching, merely the huge outline that borders the celestial vault, exuding an astonishing aura, made Qin Ming deeply impressed.

Hua Tianxiong was even more so, as he was already deeply shocked.

Gradually.

A large island stood like a giant pillar between the sea and sky, with the main peak towering into the clouds.

And Celestial Wave Immortal City was built atop Kuixing Island, with various majestic palaces and immortal mansions standing proudly.

The lower surroundings are densely packed buildings encircling the central main peak, distributed in tiered circles, neatly arranged.

The exterior of Kuixing Island, like stars guarding the moon, is dotted with numerous small islands surrounding it.

A celestial city of such scale is the first Qin Ming has ever seen; it could be called a gigantic city without exaggeration.

Just the two gigantic pillars standing at the city gate on the island go straight into the sky, with no end in sight, and at their center is the huge light gate of Celestial Wave Immortal City.

The entire Immortal City is shrouded under a tier four top-grade array, to the point that even the naked eye cannot discern it.

Only with Qin Ming’s divine thought, comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, can he perceive a vast blue light curtain, with countless high-tier runes swimming within, encompassing the whole Celestial Wave Immortal City.

Under the protection of such a grand array, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator or a late-stage tier four sea demon could be easily repelled.

Near the gigantic light gate of Celestial Wave Immortal City, various airborne beasts, treasure vehicles, spiritual boat ships, dazzling and vibrant, transformed into escape lights, cutting through the sky, flowing into the city gate.

At the outermost area of the island, there are several major ports for ships to enter and dock.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat quietly climbed onto Qin Ming’s shoulder, looking at the awe-inspiring scene before them, heart spirit surging.

"You wouldn’t know before coming here that the outside world could be so wonderful."

"How many spirit stones must it cost to build this?"

Qin Ming nodded, deeply agreeing.

"Hehe! This Celestial Wave Immortal City has been constructed over thousands of years as the East Sea cultivation realm developed." Shi Jin said with a smile.

"No wonder."

After that, Shi Jin shouted, commanding his fishman crew to sail full speed, heading towards Celestial Wave Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, aren’t you a notorious pirate on the East Sea bounty list? Aren’t you afraid of being caught entering the city?" Hua Tianxiong asked, puzzled.

Shi Jin chuckled, boldly pulling out a golden token engraved with seal script from his chest.

"This is the Celestial Wave Order; as long as you have this, you can enter and exit freely."

"After all, Celestial Wave Immortal City is open to all cultivators in the East Sea cultivation realm."

"Once inside the Immortal City, grievances are dispelled."

"But once outside Celestial Wave Immortal City, no one can intervene; those wanted will be wanted, and those rewarded will be rewarded, and all major powers will not be lenient—everyone relies on their own skills."

"I see."

As they spoke, the Black Sail had slowly docked at the outer port of the island.

"Isn’t that the Black Sail? My goodness, how many years has it been since I’ve seen it?"

"It’s said that more than ten years ago, the Black Sail even eradicated Lou’s Double Demons; who knows if it’s true or not."

"Stop probing blindly; be careful not to be targeted by these fierce pirates."

...

The entrance to Celestial Wave Immortal City was filled with long queues, bustling with cars and people flowing.

Qin Ming disembarked the ship first, followed by Hua Tianxiong and Shi Jin.

Shi Tianming then greeted the crew to unload the goods, taking the opportunity to move the looted items into the city for resale.

"Greetings to the two seniors and this fellow Daoist."

"Do you all have the Celestial Sea Order? Are you preparing for long-term residence or short-term stay?"

A man and a woman approached, both with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

They were both dressed in golden silk robe uniforms, with three water wave patterns embroidered on their chest, who were the guards of the Celestial Sea Alliance at the city gate.

Seeing the arrival of high-tier cultivators, they immediately came forward and bowed to Hua Tianxiong and Shi Jin.

The seemingly ordinary Qin Ming was overlooked.

From him, they sensed no mana, and assumed he was the attendant of the two Golden Core seniors.

It’s mainly because Qin Ming didn’t want to release his Nascent Soul spiritual pressure everywhere, being too awe-inspiring.

He had already used his divine thought to probe before, and currently, within this Immortal City, there is only one Nascent Soul True Monarch overseeing it.

It was at this moment.

The spiritual qi nearby fluctuated intensely; a golden streak of light flew out from the highest palace atop the main peak of Celestial Wave Immortal City, streaking across the sky.

In a flash, it landed directly in front of Qin Ming and the others.

The escape light dispersed, revealing an elder in a white robe, with a ruddy complexion and wearing a feathered crown, quite embodying an immortal aura.

A Nascent Soul level mana aura emanated from the elder.

Among the extremely astonished gazes of the cultivators at the city gate, they saw the white-robed elder smiling and cupping his hands towards Qin Ming in welcome:

"I assume you are True Monarch Wangyue from the Southern Wilderness? I have admired your name for a long time!"

"Welcome Daoist friend to Celestial Wave Immortal City."
