Chapter 1071: Chapter 522: The Immortal Dao is Deficient! The Heavenly Dao’s Corruption (7K)

In the moment of stepping through the city gate, an invisible wave swept over Li Yuan, seemingly conducting an inquiry.

But what kind of existence is Li Yuan? In terms of law comprehension, he fears that he exceeds the ‘True Immortal’ of this world, and he excels at the Space Law.

Moreover, with the aid of the Dream Realm Stone, how could the formation of a Marquis’s city possibly see through his disguise?

He passed the inquiry with ease.

“Esteemed Half-Immortal, please hold.” Several bronze puppets with formidable auras, guarding the city gate, blocked Li Yuan’s path, the pressure of their invisible presence bearing down.

On their chest plates were engraved two ancient characters ‘Dao’ and ‘An’.

The leading bronze puppet spoke in a deep voice: “It seems this is the first time for this Half-Immortal to visit Anshun City, as we do not have your presence recorded in the city’s ‘Immortal Records’. May I inquire which sect you hail from?”

“I am but a wandering cultivator from the area of ‘Chonghe Mountain’, and have only recently opened my Purple Mansion to condense a Nascent Soul.” Li Yuan smiled and said, “With the numerous immortal opportunities in Anshun City, I came to explore.”

Having inquired about so many Nascent Soul cultivators’ information, Li Yuan naturally knew how to fabricate his identity.

Unlike when he first descended to the Jue Xing Continent, at that time, Li Yuan was weak, possessing only demigod strength.

Now? Li Yuan’s power had grown so much stronger, he was not afraid even of facing a True God.

“Chonghe Mountain? Loose Cultivator?” The many bronze puppets exchanged glances, without much suspicion.

The land is vast, Immortal Laws circulate, and often, loose cultivators can achieve a Nascent Soul Half-Immortal status through solitary cultivation.

“We ask the Half-Immortal to leave your name in the Immortal Records for future correspondence.” The bronze puppet continued: “Moreover, the Marquis Mansion army is recruiting ‘Soldiers’, if the Half-Immortal is interested, you might want to check it out, perhaps there are immortal fates to be found.”

“Thank you.” Li Yuan replied promptly.

He was already aware of the numerous power divisions on this world’s land.

The strongest is the transcendent ‘Hongguang Dao Court’, claiming to ‘Carry Out the Dao on behalf of Heaven’, but Dao Court cultivators in the Changyun World are extremely rare, with at least Earth Immortals required to rank within the Dao Court.

It is said the Dao Court governs many worlds, and the Changyun Realm is just one among them, with those Nascent Soul demigods knowing very little about it.

Next is the Changyun Dynasty, governing the world, with forces like the Boundary Guardian believed to belong to the Dynasty’s army, unmatched in strength.

Following that, various regional lords and holy land sects, such as the Marquis Anshun being one of the lords.

Next are the superior sects, like the Xueqing Sect.

Layered governance, extremely stable, with many lords and holy land sects prevailing for tens of millions of years, or even longer.

For loose cultivators, joining a ‘Marquis Mansion Army’ affiliated with the Marquis Mansion, is considered a fortuitous opportunity, providing access to many high-rank cultivation techniques and immortal techniques and secret skills.

“Are they really that kind? Or is the Marquis Mansion army short of manpower?” Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan’s mind.

The arrival in this world was brief.

But merely based on the inquiry’s information, Li Yuan knew that world governance here is quite cruel.

Most importantly, according to the trial mission, one must slay a ‘Dao Court strongman’ for the Slaughter Crystal to gradually reach perfection.

Therefore, in a sense, the Dao Court is his enemy.

Strongman? What level qualifies as a strongman? Earth Immortal Realm cultivator? True Immortal Realm cultivator?

Everything is unknown, and Li Yuan naturally remained cautious.

“Additionally, since it’s the Half-Immortal’s first visit to Anshun City, have you heard of the ‘Immortal Ascension Record’?” The bronze puppet continued, as if going through a routine procedure.

“I have only heard a little, but am not clear on the specifics.” Li Yuan shook his head.

In fact, Li Yuan knew a bit about it.

But now showing a loose cultivator identity, naturally he had to be cautious.

Unless absolutely necessary, Li Yuan did not intend to expose himself, nor directly clash with the true ruling powers of this world.

After all, the truly enduring power of Anshun Marquis Mansion and the Changyun Dynasty is indeed daunting.

Arriving in an unfamiliar world and rashly acting would be extremely dangerous.

“Very well.”

“Then allow me to explain.” The bronze puppet said, “Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, the essence remains mortal, not bound by the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, lifespan has an end, but Nascent Soul Half-Immortals have already comprehended the true intent of heaven and earth, with potential to become immortals…”

Li Yuan listened, knowing beneath the Earth Immortal Realm, there is a defined lifespan limit, similar to the Star God system.

Only after entering the Earth Immortal Realm, the Immortal Spirit system changes drastically compared to the Star God system.

“The so-called ‘Immortal Ascension Record’ is the Dao Court’s Immortal Register, recording the names of immortals from each world under heaven and earth.” The bronze puppet smiled and said: “In the future, if the Half-Immortal comprehends the Great Dao of heaven and earth and reaches the Enlightenment level (Seventh Stage Law), it’s best to first visit any Dao Court branch, receive the Immortal Talisman, consume an Immortal Pill, then step into the Earth Immortal Realm, which is the Dao Court immortal recorded and can found a sect and enjoy the offerings of incense from mankind.”

“If fortune smiles, being summoned by the Dao Court to the Heavenly Realm would grant a Dao Court fruit position, reducing the stain of karma, lessening the burden of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, possibly achieving immortal prosperity and longevity.”

Li Yuan was listening.

“What if one ascends without being registered?” Li Yuan asked knowingly.

“Haha, then they become ‘Wandering Independent Immortals’, needing to seclude in solitary practice, avoiding the dust of the world.” The bronze puppet laughed: “Of course, they cannot enjoy the faith of incense, nor consume mortal blood essence.”

“Otherwise, burdened with sins and karma, the slightest enhancement of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations’ might, at worse, would summon the Dynasty’s Boundary Guardians, the Dao Court’s Heavenly Soldiers and God Generals to descend, capture you and take you on a journey to the Immortal Slaying Stage.” The bronze puppet laughed: “Not even allowed reincarnation.”

“Understood, thank you for the information, General.” Li Yuan replied.

This is also what Li Yuan understood, the biggest difference between this world and the Divine Realm.

In the Divine Realm, cultivators break through based purely on themselves.
