Chapter 474: Chapter 239: Changes in the True Martial Realm, Eight Great Immortal Sects

Time passes quietly.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have flown by.

In the southern region of Central State within the True Martial Realm.

Three streaks of escape light flew above the heavens, crossing the treacherous river. Three loose cultivators at the Postnatal Realm Perfection proceeded toward the True Profound Mountain. This realm isn’t much different from the Primordial Core Realm of the past. By relying on the limits of the human body and some mysterious magical arts, one can momentarily fly above the ground. Long-distance flights are challenging, but crossing certain geographical obstacles is quite feasible.

The three engaged in easy conversation, carrying a sense of anticipation.

”The True Profound Sect is seizing the opportunity as True Man Bai Shan steps into the Purple Mansion Realm to transform into an Immortal Dao Sect. It is an opportunity we cannot miss. If we can join the True Profound Sect, our path to immortality is within reach!” The middle-aged cultivator among them clenched his fist.

Today, the True Martial Realm is no longer what it used to be.

Only great cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm have the qualifications to be respectfully addressed as ’True Man,’ and only a True Man can establish an Immortal Door.

The slightly older cultivator nodded in agreement:

”Second Brother is right. Although the True Martial Realm is now rich in resources, to reach a higher level of the Immortal Path, one must join an Immortal Door. Only then can one find the landing place for various Immortal Path Profound Skills and techniques, without searching arduously in those Immortal Path markets.”

”Twenty years ago, the Realm Lord took pity on the sentient beings, passing down the Nourishing Essence Immortal Skill, which is exceptionally perfect for Foundation Establishment. However, it is extremely difficult for those of us with lesser talent to make further progress. Such chances must not be missed. Among the three of us, the youngest has the best talent. If the two of us cannot join, the youngest should have no problem.”

The youngest cultivator resolutely shook his head:

”If this True Profound Sect does not accept my two elder brothers, then I shall not enter either!”

The two elder brothers gently rebuked him not to be reckless.

The young cultivator discontentedly said:

”Eldest Brother, Second Brother, True Man Bai Shan is undoubtedly a figure who connects the heavens and the earth, and I dare not show any disrespect. But over the past twenty years, hasn’t the True Martial Realm seen more than just the True Profound Sect rise as an Immortal Door? If I’m not mistaken, there are now eight True Men who have established their own Immortal Doors.”

”In the year following the Realm Lord’s impartation of the Immortal Path, Black Tortoise True Man, Flame Martial True Man, and Heavenly Mountain True Man simultaneously established Immortal Doors: Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the Li Immortal Race, and the Heavenly Mountain Sect, known as the three Immortal Doors with the deepest foundations.”

”The Ten Thousand Demon Sect only accepts demons, making it difficult for the Human Race to enter. The Li Immortal Race relies on the flourishing Great Yan dynasty. Although it mainly consists of Li disciples, outsiders who perform outstandingly can also receive cultivation. And the Heavenly Mountain Sect is even better. True Man from Heavenly Mountain is the youngest with vast potential, even hoping to glimpse into the Primordial Spirit True Monarch state, offering a colossal backing if joined!”

”Not to mention, over the next twenty years, Qing Lian, Lai He, Wuxiang, and Pingyang True Men all stepped into the Purple Mansion Realm, establishing four more Immortal Doors. Altogether, these seven Immortal Doors certainly have deeper foundations than the newly founded True Profound Sect.”

The young cultivator made his rebuttal reasonably.

Second Brother was about to reprimand him.

Eldest Brother, however, shook his head, smiling wryly, and glared at his younger brother:

”Ignorant younger brother, the seven Immortal Doors you spoke of are naturally powerful. But we have long missed the prime time when they opened their doors to accept disciples. Why should these Immortal Doors accept you?”

”On the contrary, the newly established True Profound Sect is truly eager for talent, giving us a few more chances. Even if we go to other Immortal Doors, it’s not guaranteed that even you, younger brother, could ensure success.”

”Moreover... who told you that the True Profound Sect has the shallowest foundations?”

Seeing Eldest Brother’s mystique, the young cultivator’s eyes lit up, hurriedly asking:

”Does Eldest Brother know some hidden secrets?”

Even Second Brother looked over.

Eldest Brother glanced around and lowered his voice:

”It’s said... that True Man Bai Shan has an excellent personal relationship with the Realm Lord. Rumor has it that in the past, before the Realm Lord awoke to supremacy, he received significant favor from True Man Bai Shan. Among the eight True Men, perhaps only Black Tortoise True Man’s relationship with the Realm Lord can compare.”

”Does that still make you think the True Profound Sect has shallow foundations?”

”With this connection, if we can enter the True Profound Sect, it would be a heavenly opportunity!”

Seeing both younger brothers dumbfounded, Eldest Brother’s vanity was immensely satisfied. He had occasionally learned this from a predecessor who participated in the world wars and had never revealed it to others.

He was equally amazed in his heart.

The Realm Lord—what an immensely noble and towering existence.

He pacified the realm’s chaos, removed life poisons, passed down the Immortal Path, and established realm rules... each task was an unparalleled achievement. Nowadays, in the True Martial Realm, who doesn’t respect the Realm Lord? Even the most arrogant and overbearing cultivators would bow their heads upon hearing the Realm Lord’s name, not daring to act recklessly.

If someone could have even a tiny connection with the Realm Lord, it would be an incomparable honor.

Like True Man Bai Shan, who stands almost unparalleled.

The younger brother who was initially somewhat indignant, now held an unprecedented longing in his eyes, with a strong desire to join the True Profound Sect.

He filled his heart with admiration, quietly paying his respects:

”It’s said that twenty years ago, the Realm Lord established the True Martial Immortal Sect, the first Immortal Dao Sect in the True Martial Realm, in the heavens!”

Previously, he spoke of the world’s Immortal Doors but didn’t include the True Martial Immortal Sect not because he forgot, but because its status is unique and prominent.

Twenty years ago, the Realm Lord decreed that cultivators must not slaughter the common people, yet some still violated this order.

The most severe consequence was being struck by thunder penalties.

Lesser cases faced punishment by the disciples of the True Martial Immortal Sect, acting on behalf of the heavens.

Its disciples possess profound cultivation and formidable methods, some even reaching the realm of Purple Mansion True Man.

Therefore, the True Martial Realm has long excluded the True Martial Immortal Sect from other Immortal Doors, reflecting the Realm Lord’s will on earth, high above the clouds.
