Chapter 509 - 516: Immortal Realm?

The Array Masters wore solemn expressions, clearing away monsters while holding their Array Plates.

By the time they finally found the designated spots for the Array Plates, another large swarm of monsters had charged out.

On high alert, they moved to their designated positions and set down the Array Plates.

Then, they activated them in unison.

"VMMM—"

Countless Array Patterns rose into the air, swiftly merging into a complex Array. The power it contained was enough to make one tremble.

Once the Array formed, it quickly blocked the monsters. The few that managed to slip through were swiftly eliminated by the Immortals.

A faint smile touched everyone’s lips at the sight.

However, merely a breath later, disaster struck.

Beyond the Heavenly Abyss, a black light suddenly appeared, striking the Array with a speed that left no time to react.

The violent impact dislodged the Array Plates, causing the entire Array to shudder as if it were about to shatter.

Mo Yang Immortal Monarch acted decisively, swinging his sword and slashing at the black light.

"BOOM—"

Almost instantly, the entire Land of the Sky Chasm trembled and shook, rapidly crumbling apart.

Vortexes of air, shimmering with endless killing intent, began to rage about, throwing the scene into chaos.

"This is bad, it’s a space storm! Everyone, get out of here!"

Someone recognized the phenomenon and cried out, their face draining of color.

Even as Immortals, they dared not underestimate a space storm.

Getting caught could mean being thrown into a spatial tunnel at best. At worst, one would be torn to shreds, leaving nothing behind.

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed, and they fled in all directions.

...

"I caught it!"

The Golden Small Sword cried out, looking on in delight as Song Wanning clutched the space-time fragment in her hand.

Sister had worked for so long, missing hundreds of Space Fragments before finally catching this one.

’They’re so slippery.’

A smile touched Song Wanning’s lips. She was quite pleased.

’With this space-time fragment, my speed at comprehending the Time Attribute will surely increase greatly.’

But before she could even stow the space-time fragment away, an earth-shattering tremor erupted from the Land of the Sky Chasm.

The entire spatial tunnel inverted, and a terrifying sense of crisis threatened to tear it apart.

Song Wanning’s heart sank. Without a second thought, she summoned the Immortal Furnace to protect herself.

But it was no use. The spatial tunnel tumbled endlessly, and she couldn’t maintain her balance.

Struggling, she suddenly tumbled into the river of time and space.

Song Wanning’s pupils constricted. She struggled desperately to get out, but the space-time fragment in her hand pulsed faintly. A dim light flashed, and her figure vanished.

Mere breaths after she vanished, the spatial tunnel exploded, turning to ash and disappearing completely.

...

"Hey, there’s someone here!"

"Hiss... an Out-of-Body Stage Cultivator..."

"Let’s go, quick! This must be the scion of some powerful figure. We can’t afford to get involved!"

The clamor of voices woke Song Wanning from her unconscious state.

She opened her eyes to an endless azure sky.

Instantly alert, she shot to her feet and scanned her surroundings warily.

But all around her was lush green grass, vibrant with life. Dewdrops clung to the blades, looking crystal clear.

Song Wanning could even smell a strong, fresh scent in the air.

’Where am I?’

’I clearly remember entering the spatial tunnel. The accident happened right after I grabbed the space-time fragment, and then I lost consciousness.’

"Sister, the energy here is strange!"

The Dragon Spirit excitedly zipped out. Overly agitated, it bounced right onto Song Wanning’s head, grabbed a handful of her hair, and yelled:

"There’s Immortal Qi here! It’s all Immortal Qi!"

When it came to sensing energy, nothing was more sensitive than it.

The air was clearly filled with Immortal Qi, not the Spiritual Energy of the Lower World...

"What?"

Song Wanning had already sensed something was off about the energy, but having never been to the Immortal Realm, she had no way of knowing what Immortal Qi felt like.

Focusing on it now, she realized she was indeed unable to absorb the surrounding energy.

She frowned. ’If I can’t absorb the surrounding Immortal Qi, my situation is perilous.’

’My internal Spiritual Power can’t be replenished. If I run into danger, I’ll have to rely on Spirit Pills or Spirit Stones...’

"Could this be the Immortal Realm?!"

’And if this really is the Immortal Realm, I’m in serious trouble.’

’Any random Immortal could crush me with ease.’

’But just like the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Realm probably isn’t populated exclusively by Immortals.’

’Cultivators in the Immortal Realm have children, and their descendants also have to advance through the stages one by one to become Immortals.’

’It’s just that these people have been absorbing Immortal Qi since birth. Their cultivation speed is much faster than those from the Lower World, and their natural aptitude is generally better, too...’

Song Wanning frowned. Looking around, she realized she was not far from a city.

Cultivators frequently passed by, many of them stealing glances at her, their eyes filled with curiosity.

She glanced down at herself. ’Is it because my Cultivation is too low?’

’These Immortals must rarely see low-level cultivators like me.’

Song Wanning gave a wry smile. Who would have thought she’d actually end up in the Immortal Realm?

A hint of envy appeared in her eyes as she looked at the Immortals whose Cultivation levels she couldn’t discern at all.

Ever since she started on her path, ascending to become an Immortal had been the dream of all cultivators, including her.

She never expected to face Immortals up close like this. In a way, it was a dream come true.

It was just...

Song Wanning thought of the vanished space-time fragment and felt a pang of regret.

’She had worked so hard to catch it, only for it to disappear in the end.’

As she drew closer to the city, the dense Immortal Qi within seemed to almost spill out.

The Immortal Realm teemed with cultivators, even more so than the Lower World. This was because countless Great Thousand Worlds lay beneath it, with all who ascended gathering here.

With a mix of excitement and apprehension, Song Wanning followed the others into the city.

The city had a lively, bustling atmosphere, with all sorts of taverns and teahouses lining the streets.

This was a bit different from what Song Wanning had imagined.

She smiled and continued deeper into the city. ’I should first try to understand the rules of this world,’ she thought. But all she had on her were Yin Coins and Spirit Stones.

’The currency of the Immortal Realm must be Immortal Stones, and I don’t have a single one.’

Penniless, she was back to square one.

’No help for it. I’ll just have to take things one step at a time.’

Steeling herself, Song Wanning was about to subtly gather some information when she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

She instantly flickered out of sight, ducking behind a shop.

"Hiss... why is it him again?"

The Golden Small Sword was instantly on high alert, glaring resentfully at the figure.

Who else could it be but Mu Zixu?

And beside him was another man with a rather refined and scholarly appearance.
