Chapter 504: The Immortal World

Within the spatial passage, Zhang Nuo did not know how much time had passed; here, there was no concept of time or space, and everything was as if it were frozen!

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of the Shengxiantai, and immediately, he appeared in a brand-new world!

Because Zhang Nuo had spent a period of time in the darkness, his eyes were unable to adapt to the sudden brightness; he reached out to shield his eyes, and only after a moment did he look all around!

Instantly, his heart was struck with intense shock! Is this the Immortal World? It is several times better than he had imagined!

He saw that the sky of the Immortal World also had a sun, but it was not as blinding as the one in the Human Realm; the sunlight shone gently in all directions. Below the Shengxiantai, high mountains stood tall, immortal mist drifted between the peaks, and an aura of peace constantly emanated. In the distance, there was a pool of pale blue lake water, lying quietly in the embrace of green, like a blue gemstone embedded in a piece of natural jade!

Looking further into the distance, he could vaguely see several large mountains floating in mid-air. Each of these mountains was tens of thousands of feet high; it was truly impossible to understand how they could float in the air without falling! He took a deep breath of the air here and felt that the Spiritual Qi was so dense it felt as if it could be touched by hand! Even compared to the Xianhuan Continent, it was several times stronger!

Zhang Nuo's eyes were clearly not enough! He was an existence at the very peak in the Human Realm, but everything presented before his eyes now was so novel!

Tianyi Laodao glanced at Zhang Nuo; he was already accustomed to such things! Every cultivator brought into the Immortal World was almost the same as Zhang Nuo! After all, this was a sacred place that every cultivator in the Human Realm dreamed of!

The Shengxiantai slowly landed within a complex of buildings, and immediately, several cultivators walked over! Zhang Nuo glanced at the cultivation level of these people: Nascent Soul Stage! It was almost uniformly the Nascent Soul Stage! Looking at their attire, they seemed to be nothing more than menial servants! Could it be that Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, who were revered by thousands in the Human Realm, were just this kind of existence in the Immortal World?

Zhang Nuo dared not think any further! It seemed that he, a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Severing Stage, was also just a little guy in the eyes of the great experts of the Immortal World!

"Zhang Nuo, you go with them to rest for now! We will find you again in a few days!"

Glancing at Zhang Nuo's exhausted body, Kusheng Heshang still had vivid memories of Zhang Nuo killing the Master! The youth before him acted decisively, and the divine abilities he possessed were also very complex!

After Zhang Nuo gave a soft response, he did not dare to ask more questions. Led by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he walked off the Shengxiantai and headed toward a small building within the complex!

This massive complex covered an area of over a thousand miles! Inside, the styles of the various pavilions and halls were completely different, seemingly built according to their different functions!

The cultivator leading the way looked to be in his forties and was wearing a yellow Daoist robe! He walked straight ahead without saying a word. Zhang Nuo followed behind him, and after familiarizing himself with the environment here, he tentatively asked:

"This fellow Daoist! Is this place built specifically for receiving cultivators from the Human Realm?"

Although the cultivator in front was a major realm lower than himself, Zhang Nuo still addressed him as a fellow Daoist; courtesy costs nothing, and it was better to keep a low profile when first arriving!

"Senior, there is no need to be so polite! I am merely a disciple of Senior Tianyi. This place is called the Reception Hall! It is specifically for receiving cultivators like you, Senior, who have ascended from the Human Realm!"

The leading cultivator was very polite and said this without even turning his head! Zhang Nuo looked at this complex of buildings again; to go to such great lengths just to receive cultivators from the Human Realm, it seemed the power of this Immortal World was truly terrifyingly large!

"May I ask for your honorable name, fellow Daoist?"

"I am Huangfu Jinjia! During this period, all of your daily needs, Senior, will be looked after by me!"

Upon learning this person's name, Zhang Nuo nodded slightly! After making a few turns within this complex, he finally arrived in front of the small building!

He saw that this small building had three floors. When he walked into the first floor, Zhang Nuo discovered that it was a reception hall, furnished with a few tables and chairs, and there was nothing special about it!

Following Huangfu Jinjia, Zhang Nuo arrived at the second floor of the small building; this seemed to be a bedroom, specifically for cultivators to rest!

"Senior Zhang! Further up is the third floor of the small building, which is a room for cultivation. If you have any needs, you may go up yourself! I will go and help you handle a series of procedures, Senior!"

Zhang Nuo blinked his eyes. Handle procedures? Could it be that something special was required to enter the Immortal World?

Huangfu Jinjia saw Zhang Nuo's concerns and said with a faint smile:

"Please do not misunderstand, Senior; it is just to record your name in the Reception Hall!"

Not wanting to ask too much, Zhang Nuo nodded slightly and let him leave! The battle with the Master had truly exhausted Zhang Nuo, and now that he had finally arrived in the Immortal World, his heart was finally at ease!

Walking to the third floor of the small building, he saw that the walls of the entire room were covered with Fowen; it looked like a Restriction set up specifically to prevent cultivators from damaging the small building while practicing!

Unable to worry about much else, Zhang Nuo sat directly on a Putan in the center of the room! After entering a state of meditation, he felt the dense Spiritual Qi slowly flowing into his body! Only then did his body feel a bit more comfortable!

Two consecutive days of meditation gave Zhang Nuo some understanding of the day and night changes in the Immortal World. First of all, in the Immortal World, the daytime is much longer than the night; relative to the Human Realm, the daytime is almost equivalent to two days in the Human Realm, while the night is only equivalent to half a day in the Human Realm!

Such a large change in day and night made Zhang Nuo somewhat unaccustomed! Secondly, in the sky of the Immortal World, some brilliant lights would occasionally appear!

The colors and forms of these lights were random, and they only existed for about half an hour! If such a phenomenon appeared in the Human Realm, it would definitely cause a huge uproar! However, in the Immortal World, all of this was extremely common and would not even attract the attention of the cultivators of the Immortal World!

On the third day, Zhang Nuo returned to the second floor of the small building, where he saw a bed and a bookshelf! Having just entered the Immortal World, although he was very tired, Zhang Nuo did not feel the slightest bit sleepy! He casually took a Jade Slip from the bookshelf and sank his Divine Sense into it to carefully read the contents!

These Jade Slips introduced the entire Immortal World and were very useful for a cultivator like Zhang Nuo who had just arrived. From the Jade Slip, Zhang Nuo learned that the entire Immortal World was vast and boundless, with almost no end, and around the Immortal World, there were still many chaotic zones that had not been developed!

The area where Zhang Nuo was located was called the Immortal Domain! It was like a city, and the area of the Immortal Domain was several times larger than the combined area of several continents in the Human Realm!

In the Immortal Domain, there were many powers, but the Three Great Powers were the most famous! The first was the "Wuliang Dao Sect," famous for specializing in Daoist techniques!

Another was "Jile Temple," which focused on Buddhist techniques! The last power, and the one Zhang Nuo was most interested in, was the "Human Emperor Realm!"

The Three Great Powers each occupied more than half of the Immortal Domain, while the rest were scattered small powers!

The Reception Hall was located on the edge of the Immortal Domain and was almost outside the control of the Three Great Powers, but every thousand years, the Three Great Powers would pair up to wait here to receive cultivators ascending from the Human Realm!

Compared to the Human Realm, because the Immortal World had dense Spiritual Qi, the average strength of cultivators was very high. If a Human Realm cultivator could cultivate to the Spirit Severing Stage, they were either exceptionally talented or had definitely worked hard and possessed superhuman perseverance! Therefore, the Three Great Powers were all very eager to recruit such cultivators!

However, among the Three Great Powers, except for the Human Emperor Realm, the Wuliang Dao Sect and Jile Temple were both indigenous powers of the Immortal World; only the Human Emperor Realm had been gradually created by numerous ascended cultivators over hundreds of thousands of years!

Therefore, ordinary ascended cultivators would choose the Human Emperor Realm as their affiliation! Besides the Human Realm, there were also many cultivators ascending from small realms! However, they were pitifully few, and these people were the most important of the important! Once a good one was discovered, the Three Great Powers would strive to attract them and then focus on cultivating them!

If a cultivator did not choose any of the Three Great Powers, they would be assigned to the "Protective Domain Seventh Team"! Only after a hundred years of service could they obtain their freedom and live in the Immortal Domain as a cultivator!

When Zhang Nuo saw this, his brows could not help but knit tightly! It seemed that in order to make cultivators join the Three Great Powers, the Immortal World had really gone to great lengths! They had actually come up with such a harsh condition!

"Protective Domain Seventh Team!" As the name implied, these were the seven teams that protected the Immortal Domain; they were named Protector First Squad, Second Squad, Third Squad, and so on!

Each team had a captain, and they all took orders from the unified deployment of the highest command of the Immortal Domain, the "Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers"!

As for the "Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers," the Jade Slip did not give a very clear explanation; it should be a mysterious place!

After finishing the content, Zhang Nuo put the Jade Slip back in its original place. Now, he faced a big problem! Which of the Three Great Powers in the Immortal Domain should he join? If he chose none of them, he would be thrown into the Protective Domain Seventh Team for a hundred years of service!

He was very clear about his own strength; in the Human Realm, the Spirit Severing Stage was the peak, but in the Immortal World, Spirit Severing was nothing. If he were to fall while performing a mission in the Protective Domain Seventh Team, it would be better to join a power!

Pondering this problem repeatedly, Zhang Nuo sat on the bed. He had to make a decision in a short time; in a few days, just as the white-robed Daoist had said, he would come to talk to him about this problem!

Zhang Nuo, who had always been accustomed to freedom, did not want to be bound by any power at all, especially a massive one. As the saying goes, a chicken cage has food but the soup pot is near; a wild crane has no food but the world is wide!
