Chapter 1194: A Reward from the Nineshores Heaven!
From the land of origin, a hundred ships had sailed into the Immortal Capital. It was the grand, majestic tradition of the four great planetary systems of east, west, south and north.
What they found out after arriving wasn’t necessarily top secret. After all, there were immortals in all four of the orthodox organizations, as well as some core Quasi-Immortals, who knew the truth.
The Immortal Capital was actually a project being carried out by cultivators after taking over the Fifth Star Ring. It was a project designed to nurture pureblooded humans. The project had gone on in the past, and it would continue to go on in the future.
To the upper echelons of leadership in the Fifth Star Ring, cultivators weren’t nourished and nurtured. They were born out of struggle. They went against the stream and fought to survive. It reflected how the cultivators from a minor world had eventually fought their way to the point of overthrowing the gods that had ruled the Fifth Star Ring.
They did not want to lose that spirit! They did not want greenhouse flowers. They wanted like-minded people who never let go of their killing intent and their determination to strive forward. Only cultivators like that counted as being pureblooded humans that could be responsible for the future, and could survive in the higher star rings, surrounded by gods.
Low-level cultivators might need special circumstances to develop such qualities. But it was built into these cultivators who had just ascended. The cultivators who had reached this point were resolute individuals who had developed their own ways of understanding and perceiving things. Those with similar ideals could walk together. Those with dissimilar ideals would not be forced to stay. It was a demonstration of the confidence of the Fifth Star Ring cultivators.
Unfortunately, the rest of the thirty-six higher star rings were lands occupied by gods, so those with dissimilar ideals... would have to become gods if they wanted to go somewhere else. The factions had long since been determined.
That was why the Immortal Capital’s Trial of the Hunt was held over and over again. It was also why Immortal Lord Nineshores had called them ascendees! They had ascended from their homeland.
The rules of the Fifth Star Ring stated that whichever Immortal Lord was reigning over the current epoch would accept all of the ascendees into their immortal palace. It was currently the Nineshores epoch. Therefore, Xu Qing and the rest of the cultivators responded to the voice of Immortal Lord Nineshores by flying off the pillars.
They shot... right toward Immortal Lord Nineshores’ heaven beyond heaven made of countless planetary systems, galaxies, star whirlpools, star domains, and universes.
The instant Xu Qing entered, a plethora of stars appeared before his eyes, like infinite star charts. There was no limit. There was no end. It was so vast, and the cultivators were so insignificant, that they felt like ants.
Then, someone spoke in a majestic voice.
