Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

After the Jade Immortal Emperor successfully passed the Thunder Tribulation, Chu Linfeng felt relieved, and the days that followed were closing himself off repeatedly.

Of course, he didn’t need to retreat anymore. After giving the Jade Immortal Emperor some Immortal Stones and Immortal Jade Lotus Seeds, he let her go into retreat. Being able to emerge before the Immortal Beast War would undoubtedly make her a capable assistant.

The days passed blandly. Chu Linfen visited Dream-Spirit Sacred Domain, Emperor Wu Domain, and Heartless Sword Tomb several times. In the blink of an eye, fifty years passed.

Those in retreat also almost came out, and the recruited army numbered over two million people, with the lowest strength being in the Celestial Immortal Realm. They hardly wanted anyone at the Earth Immortal Realm, as such individuals on the battlefield would likely be cannon fodder, rendering their deaths unnecessary.

Chu Yetian, Ye Suping, Xiao Qiang, and others ascended to the Immortal Realm as well. Chu Linfeng didn’t have them go into retreat but instead let them practice in their rooms, with the freedom to come out whenever they wished without imposing restrictions on them.

However, there was something strange; only Zhang Lijuan ascended from the Netherworld, while the others remained untraceable. He worried about whether they would ascend from the Netherworld, deciding to check the situation there after the Immortal Beast War ended.

The Immortal Monarchs from the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace all emerged from their retreats, with only two of them breaking through to the early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, while seven broke through their current realms, which was impressive given it was only a mere 150 years.

On this day, Chu Linfeng sat in the main hall and addressed everyone: "At most, fifty years until the Immortal Beast War, though this date may be sooner. Now, I will organize everyone into a special team that will play a decisive role in the upcoming Immortal Beast War.

More importantly, this will lay the groundwork for the future Immortal-Demon War. Only in this way can our Immortal Realm return to peace. I have, at most, one place in the Immortal Realm that is extremely cold, which is precisely where everyone will train. Tomorrow, we will set out for that cold place, but today, we will eat and drink heartily to celebrate this departure."

"Palace Master, why must we go there? That place is a forbidden zone in the Immortal Realm. Although there is no major danger, it is uninhabited. Even for training, there is no necessity to go there. If there is a place where Immortal Beasts gather, it might be a better opportunity for honing our skills," an Immortal Monarch remarked.

"I understand your point. Immortal Beasts are most abundant in Sky-Spirit Valley, but the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Golden Wing Roc Clan within it have all been subdued, making it unnecessary to enter and slay them. Furthermore, the powerhouses within are not ones you can withstand.

The mid-stage and late-stage Immortal Emperors are among them, and going there would lead to certain death. Choosing the cold terrain is, first, for toughening your bodies, and secondly, for fostering cooperation awareness. In that place, Immortal Beasts do exist, albeit few venture there, thus not many know of them.

Immortal Beasts there can’t live anywhere else; they can only survive in extremely cold places. Once they leave, their power diminishes rapidly. Therefore, this journey is not just a training exercise but also carries danger. Only the real strong ones can survive, so be mentally prepared," Chu Linfeng stated.

Subsequently, everyone began whispering amongst themselves, but Chu Linfeng remained oblivious to their murmurs. After a while, an Immortal Monarch inquired, "Palace Master, how long will we stay there this time? If the Immortal Beast War advances while we’re still there, won’t that be perilous for us?"

"You needn’t worry about that; I will have two Teleportation Gates set up there, allowing direct travel to and from Cyan Frost Emperor Palace. If the Immortal Beast War does indeed break out earlier, you can return at any time," Chu Linfeng replied.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved. "Blazing Fire, Second Elder, Third Elder, you are in charge of organizing those in the Daluo Golden Immortal and Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm. Although they won’t need special training, they must adhere to the military records, as they are an unconventional force that can provide unexpected results on the battlefield."

"Rest assured, Palace Master, we will complete the task. Honestly, I’m hopeful the Immortal Beast War will commence sooner," Second Elder remarked at this point.

Thereafter, Chu Linfeng instructed everyone to prepare for the departure the next day, while he went to Cyan Frost Emperor Palace’s underground chamber, where Fairy Lingxiao and Xuanyuan Yueyan and other ladies were still in retreat. With the imminent leaving and uncertainty about the duration, he needed to impart instructions.

Since some individuals were unfamiliar to them, introducing them would help avoid any awkwardness upon meeting. Chu Linfeng didn’t directly enter their individual chambers but secretly transmitted information to them, mentioning the ascension of Zhang Lijuan, Xiao Qiang, Ye Suping, and more, also requesting their early emergence to assist with Cyan Frost Emperor Palace affairs.

The women could only comply and listen to Chu Linfeng’s words; even if they wished to refute, they were powerless to do so. Nevertheless, Chu Linfeng did not linger in the chamber much longer, as preparations were necessary for tomorrow’s departure.

The evening banquet was exceptionally lively, with everyone drinking and chatting until late at night. This marked Cyan Frost Emperor Palace’s second most vibrant event since its establishment; the first being when Cyan Frost Emperor Palace was founded and during Chu Linfeng’s wedding. Though not everyone was present, it was indeed the liveliest.

The next morning, everyone left Cyan Frost Emperor Palace alongside Chu Linfeng. The Golden Demon Vulture revealed its colossal form, allowing everyone to sit atop it. Through this, everyone experienced the terrifying speed of the Golden-winged Roc’s flight, and felt envious of Chu Linfeng’s ownership of such a heaven-defying creature.

While many knew of the Land of Extreme Cold, few had ventured there, with even fewer knowing what the interior was truly like.

Chu Linfeng learned about this place from the Jade Immortal Emperor before her retreat. She knew quite a bit about Chu Linfeng’s affairs in the Immortal Realm, especially the training of this special team, requiring a unique environment, hence revealing this location.

Actually, another place could be visited, although it is extremely dangerous: the Land of Extreme Heat. On the opposite end of the Immortal Realm lies this place, where Celestial Fire and Earth Fire are commonplace, and formidable Fire Attribute creatures emerge. Similarly, these creatures can’t leave their native environment, or their powers diminish, leading to inevitable demise.

It took half a month to fly from Cyan Frost Emperor Palace to the Land of Extreme Cold, even at the Golden Demon Vulture’s speed, hinting at the enormity of the Immortal Realm, despite not reaching its periphery. According to the Jade Immortal Emperor, not even she had explored the entire Immortal Realm back then.

The Immortal Realm boasts many peculiar locations; upon entering, it seems like another world—vast and expansive like an Illusion Realm. Generally, these places reveal top-grade items; she obtained the Immortal Jade Lotus upon entering such a wondrous place.

In truth, Chu Linfeng harbored thoughts of visiting such places in the Immortal Realm; his Eye of Ice and Fire could fully perceive them. Yet, with the need to train this extraordinarily powerful team, he chose to suppress such desires, and after half a month, they finally reached the brink of the Land of Extreme Cold...
