Chapter 122: Journey to the Upper Immortal Realm
"Upper Immortal Realm..." Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself, while his mind was processing some newly acquired information.
Earlier his spiritual sense swept over the supreme soul secret technique "Imperial Heart Soul Technique" left by the Celestial Emperor of Tianyan, granting him an additional skill!
This skill allows Li Zhangsheng, with a single glance, to pierce another's soul and extract information from it!
With one look, the other's soul spreads out like an opened scroll!
All secrets, past experiences, known information, and emotional memories are laid bare before Li Zhangsheng's eyes!
Earlier, when he looked at Ling Tianyu and the others, he had already scanned their souls and learned of several major events that occurred in the Upper Immortal Realm in recent years...
Ten years ago, the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone in the Upper Immortal Realm was opened!
It was an ancient and dangerous ruin, with bizarre seals, allowing only those below the Celestial Emperor Realm to enter!
Inside, opportunities are extraordinarily abundant, hailed as a great treasure land of the Upper Immortal Realm, opening once every one hundred thousand eras!
Each opening draws the heavenly pride of various Dao Traditions, with strong cultivators swarming to vie for the Primordial Relics, Primordial Legacies, and the like that reside within!
Roughly a few months ago, in the core area of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, chaotic divine light surged skyward, Dao rhythm spread thirty thousand li, startling the entire Forbidden Zone!
Soon after, concrete reports emerged that someone in the Forbidden Zone obtained one of the Seven Chaotic Treasures of the Immortal Realm lost to endless ages, the Chaotic Myriad Path Furnace!
This furnace is said to possess the ability to melt the myriad paths and reverse the usurpation of creation!
It is the supreme treasure for alchemy, artifact forging, and even aiding enlightenment!
Whoever obtains this treasure can mass‑produce strong cultivators; even Celestial Emperor‑level elites covet it, enough to drive any Dao Tradition into frenzy!
What shook the entire Upper Immortal Realm even more was that the ones who secured the Chaotic Myriad Path Furnace were not heirs of an established strong clan or a top‑level Dao Tradition, but three obscure youths!
Their coordination was seamless, combat power astonishing; they turned weakness into victory, carving a bloody path through countless forces' pursuit and blockade!
They vanished into the depths of the Forbidden Zone with the furnace and have not been captured to this day!!
Now, various Celestial Emperor Dao Traditions of the Upper Immortal Realm dispatch more strong cultivators into the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, laying a heaven‑and‑earth net, vowing to seize the treasure!
Moreover, the images of these three youths also surfaced from fragments of Ling Tianyu's soul memory!
As the three figures flickered in his mind, a faint, almost imperceptible ripple rose in the depths of Li Zhangsheng's calm eyes!
Luo Chen, Ye Ze, Han Qi!
His second disciple, sixth disciple, and seventh disciple.
It turns out that after their ascension, they were directly transported to the Upper Immortal Realm and caused such a commotion!
"Chaotic Myriad Path Furnace..." Li Zhangsheng murmured, the corner of his mouth forming a faint curve: "I didn't expect those three kids to band together and obtain such a formidable treasure!"
"Sect Master, what did you say?" Xiao Jue asked curiously, looking at Li Zhangsheng.
"When I killed those dozen people earlier, I extracted some information about three of my disciples from their souls," Li Zhangsheng said. "They are now in the Upper Immortal Realm."
"Are they three of the Seven Emperor Elder Ancestors?" Xiao Jue muttered to himself!
"Let's go, I'll first take you back to the Changsheng Sect," Li Zhangsheng said.
He plans, after returning, to place the entire Changsheng Sect into the World Ruin Cauldron, then take the whole sect to the Upper Immortal Realm for a look!
As his words fell, without any visible action, the space automatically split like flowing water, forming a stable passage!
He stepped forward with Xiao Jue and the other two, exiting in a single stride!
A few days later, Li Zhangsheng returned with Xiao Jue to Liuli Xianyu, arriving inside the Changsheng Sect on Qinglan Dalu!
"Master, you've returned?" Chu Yun and the others, noticing Li Zhangsheng had come back to the back mountain, rushed over.
At the same time they were curious why the master had returned so early this time.
They had thought Li Zhangsheng's departure would take several years before he could return.
"Master!"
"Elder Ancestor Xuanji!"
Xiao Jue and Liu Yiming, seeing Yang Xuanji, also greeted him cheerfully.
"You two kids just ascended a few months ago, yet you're already stronger than me. What opportunities did you gain in the Immortal Realm?" Yang Xuanji sensed the aura of Xiao Jue and Liu Yiming, both at the pinnacle of the Celestial Profound Realm!
As a senior, he felt an indescribable bitterness that he was now outclassed by these two juniors.
"Luck!"
"Luck!"
"We were also forced out like pigs being fed," Liu Yiming said, then recounted the experiences he and Xiao Jue had endured.
Hearing Liu Yiming's and Xiao Jue's stories, Yang Xuanji's mind steadied a little.
So I'm not the only one unlucky upon arriving in the Immortal Realm.
"Chu Yun, gather all those of the Changsheng Sect who are outside and bring them back," Li Zhangsheng said to Chu Yun at that moment.
"Master, this means..." Chu Yun looked at Li Zhangsheng with confusion.
"I will take the entire Changsheng Sect to the Upper Immortal Realm," Li Zhangsheng said. "I have obtained information about your second senior brother, sixth junior brother, and seventh junior brother; they are in the Upper Immortal Realm."
"Go find them and, while you're at it, bring the whole Changsheng Sect to develop in the Upper Immortal Realm!"
"Second senior brother, sixth junior brother, seventh junior brother— they ascended and were immediately sent to the Upper Immortal Realm. Me, going there? Such luck?" Xia Yuan clicked his tongue.
"Master, I will now gather the Changsheng Sect members who are outside and bring them back," Chu Yun said, a hint of excitement on his face:
"It is said the Upper Immortal Realm's laws are intact and its resources abundant; I've long wanted to go, but never had the means or chance."
That is truly the core of the Immortal Realm, where strong cultivators are as numerous as clouds, Dao Traditions abound, and no one in the Immortal Realm does not yearn for it!
…
Three days later, all Changsheng Sect members who were outside had been gathered back by Chu Yun, and everyone remained within the bounds of Qinglan Dalu!
Li Zhangsheng went to the void above Qinglan Dalu and produced the ancient, unadorned World Ruin Cauldron.
The cauldron's body shimmered with a faint light, containing the phenomena of three thousand miniature worlds!
Li Zhangsheng's thoughts shifted, and the "One Realm One Thought Manual" activated again.
The entire Qinglan Dalu began to tremble ever so slightly.
The countless disciples of the Changsheng Sect looked up in surprise, yet felt no discomfort or oppression!
They only felt that the surrounding scenery seemed to undergo a strange contraction and condensation.
Under Li Zhangsheng's mental control, Qinglan Dalu instantly shrank, turning into a bubble‑like thing that came into Li Zhangsheng's hand.
Within it, the mountains, rivers, palaces, flora, and even every person moving inside retained their original condition and vitality!
Immediately after, Li Zhangsheng tossed the little bubble in his hand into the Boundary Ruins Cauldron!
Li Zhangsheng satisfiedly put away the Boundary Ruins Cauldron.
From then on, the Changsheng Sect became his portable cultivation hall, able to be stored in the cauldron and released at any time, standing anywhere in the Immortal Realm.
Having finished everything, Li Zhangsheng stepped forward, heading toward the spatial passage leading to the upper Immortal Realm.
By his methods, the so‑called passage review and power approval were naturally merely formalities…
