Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

189: Chapter 189 Three YearsTime passed quickly, and soon three years had gone by.

Shangqiong Sect, Guest Elder residence.

Chen Xianting opened her eyes, the surging Supreme Fire mana within her body subsiding; her Aura, far more terrifying than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivator, was restrained and hidden.

She stood up and walked out of the secluded cultivation room, pushed open the residence’s main gate, and walked along the road paved by the Shangqiong Sect toward the Scripture Pavilion.

Along the way, many male Disciples blushed as they greeted her, and she responded with a smile and a nod.

Three years ago, after the four of them joined the Shangqiong Sect as Guest Elders, it caused quite a stir.

Especially the two sisters, Chen Xianling and Chen Xianting; their appearance, talent, and Heart-Nature were all top-tier, which attracted a large number of suitors.

There were Disciples of the Shangqiong Sect, as well as Elders and Deacons.

However, the two sisters naturally looked down on these Disciples, Elders, and Deacons; their only purpose in coming to the Shangqiong Sect was to use the Scripture Pavilion to gain a good understanding of this world.

Soon, Chen Xianting arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, took out her Guest Elder token, paid a sum of Contribution Points, and walked inside.

The Shangqiong Sect’s Scripture Pavilion had five floors; Deacons and Guest Elders could only go up to the fourth floor at most, while the fifth floor was accessible only to the Sect Master, Grand Elders, and the Dao Seed.

Furthermore, as a Guest Elder and an outsider, Chen Xianting had to pay Contribution Points every time she entered the Scripture Pavilion.

The higher the floor, the more Contribution Points were required.

Therefore, over the past three years, besides their secluded cultivation, the four of them had been taking on some less troublesome missions.

For instance, Chen Xianting had taken on missions to clear out various evil Cultivators and bandits within Shangqiong Prefecture, killing many Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, including seven or eight at the Foundation Establishment Peak level.

One of the missions required dealing with an evil Cultivator organization called the Seven Heroes of Chuanxi. After Chen Xianting took it on, she went alone and, facing seven opponents at once, forcefully slew the seven Foundation Establishment evil Cultivators under her halberd.

After this battle, her reputation soared, and she earned the title of Fairy Yan Ting.

“Greetings, Fairy Yan Ting. May I ask what books you are looking for?”

A Deacon of the Scripture Pavilion walked over, cupped his hands in a salute, his face turning slightly red.

“No need for formalities, I’m just looking around. Go about your business.”

Chen Xianting’s tone was flat.

After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.

In these three years, she had already read most of the books on the first and second floors of the Scripture Pavilion.

The remaining ones she hadn’t read were just some insignificant Spells that weren’t of much use to her.

As for the third and fourth floors, most of the books placed there were high-grade techniques and Divine Abilities, which held some reference value for her.

The fifth floor held the fundamental core Legacy of the Shangqiong Sect; it was said that the Shangqiong True Scripture, created by the Shang Qiong True Monarch, was kept there.

Anything related to a Golden Core True Monarch was not to be taken lightly.

For example, a fully awakened Magic Treasure could unleash an attack at the Golden Core level, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and sweeping down the stars.

And as a classic personally written by a Golden Core Peak True Monarch, the Shangqiong True Scripture contained the Divine Intent of the Shang Qiong True Monarch.

Every Cultivator who opened the Shangqiong True Scripture would receive the teaching of the Shang Qiong True Monarch’s Divine Intent, allowing them to quickly grasp the essentials of the scripture.

Not long after, Chen Xianling also arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, and after wandering around, naturally ascended to the third floor.

After another while, Hao Wujiu and Ming Changzhi arrived together. After paying their Contribution Points, they headed straight for the third floor without any concealment.

Thus, the four of them gathered on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, each standing before a bookshelf, picking up a book to examine.

“My mana accumulation has reached its limit. In a few days, I can enter seclusion to construct my Purple Mansion, engrave Divine Abilities, and step into the Purple Mansion realm.”

Hao Wujiu was the first to speak via voice transmission.

“Same here. I’ve reached the point where I can no longer progress in the Foundation Establishment stage; it’s time to Breakthrough.”

Chen Xianting flipped through a book as she joined the conversation.

“It seems we are all in a similar position. The time for secluded cultivation to Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion will be within the next few days.”

Chen Xianling’s voice was cold and clear, like a chilly spring flowing, pleasant to the ear.

“Uh, well, I might need a bit more time.”

Ming Changzhi scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

His comprehension of the Solar Path had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment limit, and his level of understanding of his first Divine Ability had not reached a point where he could guarantee a successful engraving.

“Senior Brother, I warned you not to indulge in wine and women. Ever since you became a Guest Elder, your cultivation has slackened; this is not a good thing.”

Hao Wujiu frowned slightly, his tone becoming heavier.

After becoming a Guest Elder, Ming Changzhi had attracted many female Disciples and female Guest Deacons due to his handsome appearance.

Unlike Hao Wujiu and the other two, who kept their distance from these Disciples and Guest Elders, he accepted them all, spending most of his time indulging in wine and women, neglecting his cultivation.

“I know, I know. Once you all enter seclusion, I will also begin my seclusion. I won’t come out until I reach the Purple Mansion realm.”

Ming Changzhi said hurriedly.

The four of them had come to this Chongming Realm together, and he didn’t want to be abandoned because he couldn’t keep up with his companions.

Although he knew Hao Wujiu wouldn’t do such a thing, human hearts are unpredictable, and he always kept the worst-case scenario in mind.

“Since you know, you should make up your mind.”

“Senior Brother, cut it off decisively, or you will suffer for it.”

Hao Wujiu’s expression was serious as he cautioned his Senior Brother once more.

Good advice is hard to give to someone bent on self-destruction.

If his Senior Brother still refused to mend his ways, then he wouldn’t hesitate to take drastic measures.

The lives of the three of them were far more important than Ming Changzhi’s life alone.

Someone obsessed with wine and women would eventually fail to hold his tongue and reveal the news that they were visitors from another world.

Even though the four of them had sworn a Heavenly Dao oath, that was sworn to the Heavenly Dao of the Luotian Realm; who knew if it would be effective in this Chongming Realm?

“By the way, have you found out for sure if there are still any Nascent Soul level Earth Immortals left in this Chongming Realm?”

At this moment, Chen Xianling spoke up to change the subject.

Over these three years, through the Shangqiong Sect’s channels, they had gathered almost all the information about the Chongming Realm.

This high-level world, suspected of having produced Nascent Soul Earth Immortals, was divided into Eight Domains.

They were categorized by Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, Universe, Cosmos, Flood, and Desolation; the area of each domain was roughly equivalent to a small half of a cultivation kingdom in the Luotian Realm.

Coupled with the vast and boundless Four Seas, the area was not small.

Even a Purple Mansion True Person would take a certain amount of time to travel from the east to the west of this realm.

Of course, for a Golden Core True Monarch, reaching the ends of the earth was just a matter of a single thought.

Each of the Eight Domains of the Chongming Realm had a Domain Lord, basically held by a Golden Core True Monarch.

Without a Golden Core level cultivation, one could not suppress the other forces within the domain, leading to conflicts or even outbreaks of unrest.

In other words, there were at least eight Golden Core True Monarchs overseeing the Chongming Realm.

And that was just the public data.

A Golden Core True Monarch has a lifespan of ten thousand years; even if their Physical Body perishes, as long as their Divine Soul and Golden Nature remain, they can exist eternally between heaven and earth.

Including some reclusive old monsters, there might be as many as twenty Golden Core True Monarchs in the Chongming Realm.

Furthermore, since this realm had once produced Nascent Soul Earth Immortals, there might still be Nascent Soul level methods or even surviving Nascent Soul Earth Immortals.

To take down such a world, even a single Nascent Soul Immortal Sect would find it difficult; at least several families would need to join forces.

According to the information the four of them had obtained from the Scripture Pavilion, the history of the Chongming Realm spanned millions of years, roughly traceable back to the Ancient Chaos Period of the Luotian Realm.

Therefore, the four speculated that during the Ancient Chaos Period, the owner of that ancient Immortal Cave left the Luotian Realm to escape the turmoil and discovered the Chongming Realm in the vast starry sky.

At that time, the Chongming Realm was likely still in a primitive era; the Human Race had not yet risen and lived a savage life.

For unknown reasons, the owner of the ancient Immortal Cave, the Chongming Venerable, civilized the Human Race of this realm and passed down the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao.

Since then, the immortal path had flourished in the Chongming Realm.

Based on the information they gathered from the fragmented stone tablets in the Duantian Forbidden Land, it could be inferred that the so-called Immortal Ancestor was the Chongming Venerable.

One day, the Chongming Realm was discovered by Cultivators from another realm, possibly from the Luotian Realm or another world.

Thus, a great war broke out.

The Chongming Venerable led the Cultivators of the Chongming Realm to resist the invasion of the other realm’s Cultivators and eventually fell, with only one of his Disciples surviving.

They didn’t know what happened afterward, but the forces the Chongming Venerable left in this realm had been wiped out, turning into the Duantian Forbidden Land.

The four of them stayed in the Scripture Pavilion for a long time, and after sharing their respective findings, they parted ways.

Not long after returning, Chen Xianting, Chen Xianling, and Hao Wujiu announced their seclusion, vowing not to emerge until they reached the Purple Mansion realm.

As for Ming Changzhi, he was originally going to enter seclusion as well, but several female Deacons arrived together, disrupting his plans.

To hell with seclusion; it was better to cherish the pleasure of the moment... Meanwhile.

Luotian Realm, Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom, Xuan Prefecture, Luoyun Mountain.

Yuan Feng, who was refining his Golden Nature, opened his eyes. The seven Golden Natures within his body radiated a dazzling brilliance, and his boundless, terrifying Aura was concentrated but not released, causing the space of the entire Wangyue Cliff to solidify by more than ten thousand times.

“Zhu Xiu has activated the Hair Strand I gave him. Could it be that the Legacy within that Immortal Sect ruin has been obtained?”
