Chapter 322: The Strictly Hierarchical Immortal World



Immortal World, Ascension Pool.

A few lower-level Golden Immortals who were the Guardians were lazily chatting.

It was unknown what changes had occurred in the ten small worlds corresponding to this Ascension Pool, but the number of Cultivators ascending over the past tens of thousands of years had been decreasing.

By now, seeing a few ascenders in this Ascension Pool in a year was already considered good.

These Guardians of the Ascension Pool, nowadays, aside from chatting, really had nothing else to do.

Just at this moment, the tranquil water of the lake suddenly started to churn.

The watching Golden Immortals instantly became interested, and they each looked towards the Ascension Pool.

In the past, if an Ascender came during their guarding period, they couldn't help but want to complain, feeling it was more work for them.

But now.

Whoever gets to see an Ascender during their guarding shift is considered a source of envy.

After all!

The job was really too idle.

Idle to the point that they were almost going mad.

"Come on, make a bet, when this Ascender comes up, I bet they will start screaming in agony immediately," one Golden Immortal said laughing.

"What's there to bet on? After the mortal body from the Human World arrives here in the Immortal World, it has to be cleansed by Immortal Spirit Qi, transforming from a mortal body to an immortal body. The impure qi brought from the Lower Realm also has to be continuously cleansed until it all transforms into Immortal Spirit Qi. The pain of being cleansed by Immortal Energy is extraordinary; every Cultivator who comes up screams incessantly."

"There's nothing worth betting on this aspect, let's change the stake. Let's bet on what realm the Cultivation of this Cultivator will reach after the first dose of Immortal Energy infusion?"

"Normally speaking, the Cultivation of an ordinary Ascender can barely reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Some with better talent might reach the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Only exceedingly rare ones may reach the Golden Immortal Level on their first transformation, but they can only reach the Early Golden Immortal Stage. Surpassing this category is almost impossible. If we are to bet, I'd definitely bet on something more probable, like the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"I also bet it can only reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Those ten small worlds below haven't seen a Cultivator with good talent for many years; this one probably won't be much better."

These Guardians casually chatted as such, and finally, a woman's figure appeared on the lake.

Shi Nian, curious, leaned out to look, and then she saw five Guardians who were even more curious than her.

Now the situation turned to be that Shi Nian, with curiosity written all over her face, was looking at them, and they, equally with curious expressions, were looking at Shi Nian; both sides appeared as though they hadn't seen much of the world.

"Host, this is the Ascension Pool. The pool contains massive energy with can provide Immortal Spirit Qi. As a first-time Ascender, you can freely absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi from the pool; you may start now," the little advisor reminded.

Shi Nian nodded.

The next moment, Immortal Spirit Qi in the Ascension Pool, which had barely been utilized for tens of thousands of years, suddenly boiled up. These proud Immortal Spirit Qi, this time, vied to rush into Shi Nian's body first.

The several Guardians who were initially watching the excitement suddenly showed a puzzled expression on their faces.

What…

What is going on?

What happened to the promised painful cleansing by Immortal Spirit Qi?

What happened to the unbearable pain?

How come this Ascender soaking in the Ascension Pool looks like she's just relaxing in a hot spring at home, without a trace of pain on her face?

And this Immortal Spirit Qi!

What's going on with them?

In the past, in order to absorb more Immortal Spirit Qi, Ascenders had to exert all their strength just to absorb a bit more.

Now.

These are just burrowing into someone's body by themselves!

For a long time.

Watching Shi Nian beginning to swim butterfly and backstroke out of utter boredom, several Golden Immortals were rendered completely speechless.

No way.

Can it really be done like this?

This lady has been cultivating in the Lower Realm for so long, has she really not been tainted by the turbid qi of the Lower Realm at all?

That's not right!

If she wants to ascend through cultivation, she must absorb Spiritual Power, right?

This Spiritual Power is considered turbid qi in the Immortal World.

The process of cleansing Spiritual Power and reshaping immortal power, every cultivator has gone through it, and all remember it vividly, because it's really... too painful.

Being able to leisurely swim in the Ascension Pool is simply unheard of!

"Big brothers and sisters," Shi Nian couldn't help but say: "Is this the Immortal World? It feels somewhat boring. Shall we chat since we have nothing else to do?"

Everyone: "..."

A female Golden Immortal chuckled lightly and said, "Little sister, what do you want to know about the Immortal World? Feel free to ask, and as long as sister knows, she's willing to talk to you."

"Thank you, sister." Shi Nian sweetly expressed her thanks and then asked, "Which are the Supreme powerhouses in the Immortal World?"

Straight to such an explosive question.

The female Golden Immortal hesitated for a moment, then said, "The highest powerhouses in the Immortal World are the Immortal Emperors. Among them, the strongest are called the Five Extreme Immortal Emperors, each ruling one of the central, east, west, north, and south regions. Our area is under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Immortal Emperor."

Shi Nian furrowed her brows, "What about above the Immortal Emperor? Isn't there someone stronger?"

She had seen a few Immortal Emperors before.

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor is still in her Soul-binding Bell; that Dongfang Zhang was an incarnation of an Immortal Emperor, the former master of Zi Xu, also an Immortal Emperor.

When Shi Nian encountered the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor and Dongfang Zhang, both were in dire straits, far from their prime. But Shi Nian always felt that even at their peak, they probably wouldn't match the entity that took her little master's uncle across two realms.

The Human World and the Immortal World are divided by two realms.

Even the Immortal Emperor cannot intervene in the matters of the Lower Realm.

But that entity clearly could.

The female Golden Immortal hesitated again, then said, "Above the Immortal Emperor, naturally, there are stronger beings, the incomparable Immortal Venerables. However, Immortal Venerables usually do not appear in public, and even if they do, unless they wish it, others cannot perceive them."

"Oh? Which famous Immortal Venerables are there in the Immortal World?" Shi Nian asked.

She wanted to probe where her little master's uncle might possibly be.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she asked this, the female Golden Immortal showed a look of horror, lowering her voice: "You should never ask this question again, even if you do, no one will answer you. The names of Immortal Venerables must not be spoken, thought of, or even conceived. With the formidable power of an Immortal Venerable, within the bounds of this Immortal World, just thinking of them is enough for them to trace your location. Thus, even if someone knows the names of Immortal Venerables, they wouldn't dare to tell you."

That powerful?

Shi Nian was startled for a moment, then slowly nodded her head, "Sister, what kind of forces are there in the Immortal World then? We can talk about that, right?"

The female Golden Immortal instantly relaxed and smiled, saying, "This is alright to discuss. The Immortal World, like the Lower Realm, has Sects. However, above these Sects, there are also the Five Extreme Immortal Emperors. The Five Extreme Immortal Emperors and their affiliated forces naturally form the strongest powers. Following that are the super Sects, each generally hosting over ten experts of Immortal Emperor Level. Then come the Upper Class Sects, which must have at least one expert of Immortal Emperor Level. Next are the medium-level Sects, which should have over ten experts of Profound Immortal Level. Lastly, the lower-level Sects, which only need one expert of Profound Immortal Level. If a Sect does not even have a single expert of Profound Immortal Level, we collectively refer to them as 'Low-tier Sects'."

Shi Nian pondered thoughtfully.

In the Immortal World, the hierarchy seems to be even stricter than in the Lower Realm.

From the Five Extreme Immortal Emperors down to the classification of various levels of Sects, a sense of superiority and hierarchy was pervasive.

The Immortal World is quite interesting.
