Chapter 1233: Chapter 265: Ancient Immortal Realm (Part 2)

“Let’s go.”

Li Tie Mu said softly, he wanted to guide Li Hao and the others.

Ji Qingxuan calmly said, “Fellow junior brothers and sisters, we meet in haste, and I haven’t prepared any gifts for you. Here are some Immortal Stones for you to accept.”

After speaking, he flicked four bags over.

Inside those bags was a small storage space, but far less than a Heaven and Earth Space, convenient for transferring some medium to large items.

Li Hao, along with Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and Murong Qingwu, all caught them. Murong Qingwu immediately shook her head and said, “Senior Brother, this is inappropriate. It’s alright for you to give them, but when I joined, you had already given me a gift.”

“That was then, this is now.”

Ji Qingxuan smiled and said, “Accept it, in the future, you might not have the chance even if you want it.”

Murong Qingwu’s eyes showed a slight change, and she no longer declined, saying, “Senior Brother, be careful at the border, nothing must happen to you!”

Seeing this, Li Hao also put away the Immortal Stones in his hand. Previously, when he cultivated to the True Immortal Realm Third Level, the Immortal Stones in his hand were almost used up.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Li Hao said.

Yue Xi and Gu Yan also put them away and thanked him together.

“I’ve prepared four Cicada Armors for you, they’re True Treasures. If overlaid with your disciple robes, they can provide a bit of protection.”

Lu Wuchen also raised his hand, sending out four pieces of white Cicada Armor, extremely small and worn inside the undershirt.

Li Hao didn’t expect this Second Senior Brother to have such thoughtfulness; outwardly cold but inwardly warm, seemingly cold but with a meticulous mind.

“I don’t have much to give you, not as worthy as what Senior Brother gives. I’ll just give you two thousand Immortal Stones daily.”

Wei Hongye chuckled softly, taking out a red pouch, clearly a gift prepared long ago rather than something gathered last minute.

The four accepted and thanked him.

“Be careful at the border too.”

Murong Qingwu reminded repeatedly.

Li Tie Mu glanced at Ji Qingxuan and the others and said, “I’ll take them first and then come to find you.”

Immediately, along with other Elders, he led their respective disciples into the teleportation channel traced by flowing colors.

Before leaving, Lin Yufeng and Li Hao exchanged sound transmissions to take care.

…

In the space channel, there was a suction force, pulling Li Hao and the others towards a certain point ahead.

Li Tie Mu and the other Elders were evidently very experienced, enveloping the disciples and flying at full speed in this space channel.

Three hours later, with Li Tie Mu’s call of arrival, the previously void and chaotic space channel suddenly vanished, like reaching the end of a railway track, suddenly pierced by countless rays and flooded with endless scenery.

When Li Hao’s vision adjusted, he saw that they were on a majestic “continent.”

Indeed, it was more a continent than a plaza.

Vast and boundless, yet the ground was paved with gigantic bricks, neatly arranged, and every ten miles, there stood a grand, ancient, and somber pillar.

What was engraved on the pillar was neither dragon nor phoenix; in the True Realm’s Ancient Immortal Dynasty, dragons and phoenixes were domesticated animals of the Imperial Family, not to be totems.

Instead, the pillar bore the carving of a grand cauldron, and upon it were ancient characters, texts meant for worshiping the heavens.

In the Ancient Times of the True Realm, ancient immortals used these texts to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

Surrounding the grand cauldron were figures of people, raising their hands in cheer, representing generations of emperors in the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.

At this moment, at the endless end of this “continent,” high and imposing great halls loomed into view.

As Li Hao and others surveyed, they quickly noticed that besides themselves, there were many others, quite a number of them.

In the distant sky, a crack opened following their arrival, from which three giant swords rushed out, spanning the sky.

Upon seeing the familiar appearance of those giant swords, Li Hao immediately thought of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower in Futu City.

“It’s them.”

Li Tie Mu squinted slightly. In the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower recruited over eighty percent of the Sword Cultivators, with the rest scattered among other major sects. Their Sword Abyss specialized in sword cultivation, but since the rise of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, their days have been tough, and the number of disciples has been gradually decreasing.

This time being able to recruit Li Hao, Gu Yan, and the other three was like blooming iron trees for Li Tie Mu, a rare event in a thousand years.

Yue Xi’s eyes narrowed, and her expression turned somewhat cold.

“It seems that all the major Heavenly Sects of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty have arrived, along with those Earth Sects…”

Murong Qingwu released her Divine Sense, covering over a thousand miles, to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Besides them, the other sect disciples were everywhere.

“Indeed, there are almost twenty thousand people here!”

Li Tie Mu nodded, retracting his gaze from the three giant swords of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, saying:

“The number of recommended disciples that each sect can allocate is limited, with the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower and the other four major Heavenly Sect each having a thousand spots.”

“Altogether that makes five thousand, while the Heavenly Second Sect has five hundred spots, the Heavenly Third Sect two hundred, and the Heavenly Fourth Sect one hundred. Therefore, our Nine Abyss gathered only has a hundred people.”

Hearing his words, Li Hao and Yue Xi glanced around and found that indeed, the disciples they brought here numbered exactly one hundred.

Among them, there were ten from their Sword Abyss.

“The difference between the Heavenly Fourth and Heavenly First Sect is actually tenfold…” Yue Xi’s eyes moved slightly, suddenly showing some fighting spirit. She wanted to make a name for herself in this Southern Domain, bringing glory to her sect and aiming to surpass the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower.

“As for the Earth Sects, the Earth First Sect only has fifty spots, the Earth Second Sect twenty, the Earth Third Sect only ten, and the Earth Fourth Sect is even more pitiful, able to recommend only two, usually the Sect Master’s Direct Disciples.”

Li Tie Mu sighed lightly: “This is one of the advantages of sect ranking, recommending a thousand people ensures that some can break through heavy barriers. At worst, just by showing face, they can promote the sect’s momentum and reputation in such major battles like the Southern Domain War, then snowball by attracting more disciples.”

Li Hao and others remained silent and didn’t speak.

At this moment, as they awaited not long, nine dragon carriages came from the Immortal Palace ahead, each with three Ancestor Dragons pulling the cart, looking imposing and majestic.

“Please all proceed to the Ancient Immortal Realm to undergo trial tests.”

A cold voice sounded, full of contempt and majesty, seemingly looking down on everything, extremely soft yet each word echoing like thunder in everyone’s ears.

“Is this Emperor Yan Chu?”

Yue Xi’s face altered slightly, unable to help but ask.

Li Tie Mu shook his head slightly: “This is the Third Prince, Chu Xiangtian, his realm matches mine, his strength… might not be inferior to mine.”

Hearing his words, several people were stunned, not expecting that just a prince could wield such astonishing power. Then what about the Emperor of Yan Chu…

With the voice of the Third Prince Chu Xiangtian falling, soon, a secret realm passage appeared over everyone’s heads.

“Ancient Immortal Realm? Is this trial that difficult?”

“After tens of thousands of years, it’s unexpected that the Yan Chu Royal Family would once again use the Ancient Immortal Realm for trials, I wonder how many Barbaric Wilds you must pass this time to qualify.”

Various forces gathered in the square began discussing, many people’s expressions became serious.

“What is the Ancient Immortal Realm?”

Murong Qingwu couldn’t help but curiously ask.

Li Tie Mu’s expression was solemn, saying in a deep voice: “The Ancient Immortal Realm is the place where Ancient Immortals cultivated during the Ancient Times. The environment inside is harsh, filled with chaotic and disorderly Dao Power, containing forty-nine Barbaric Wilds. It’s said that even an Immortal King cannot reach the fortieth Barbaric Wild!”

“So terrifying?”

Murong Qingwu was stunned.

Li Hao and Yue Xi’s expressions also turned serious.

Usually indifferent and calm, Gu Yan’s eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, staring intently at the secret realm passage.

At this moment, the center of the nine dragon carriages opened the secret realm, and the five major Heavenly Sect forces in front took the lead to step in.

As everyone headed there, Li Tie Mu also led Li Hao and others to enter.

Upon entering the secret realm, Li Hao saw a world of flashing lightning and ancient wilderness.

In the void, there were no stars or moons, but a crimson fog covered half the sky, while the other half was ink-like black clouds, pitch-black, with only the fierce flickering of lightning illuminating the clouds in silver and black.

The ground was barren, like a scarlet soil emitting mist.

The most striking was a colossal black stele ahead reaching the sky.

Seeing that black stele, Li Hao felt it was somewhat similar to the Heavenly Stele of the All Heavens Battlefield of the All Heavens World.
