IS Chapter 49
by Volare——But what did this have to do with them?
Li Yuan’s gaze fell on Ye Zhuo’s neck, a section of graceful neck half-hidden in the lotus-like red robe. Master Xia liked to use a high collar when making clothes for Ye Zhuo, at most only revealing half, appearing cold and solemn.
This person seemed to have already started cultivating.
The sound of a Nascent Soul Daoist suppressing his anger finally came from the hall.
“What does your palace mean by this?”
“Hmm? Is something amiss?” Wei Sheng Xian was still polite, “Esteemed guests from the Upper Sect, our palace is truly terrified. We haven’t even asked yet, what brings you here, esteemed guests?”
Terrified?
Truly chilling.
Then let’s discuss the matter at hand! He didn’t want to say anything more.
“There is indeed an important matter to report.” The Nascent Soul Daoist snorted coldly and said lightly, “The Immortal Dao has been uneasy recently, and a life-threatening event may be about to occur.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Recently, ghostly affairs have been occurring frequently within the Four Seas. Palace Master Wei Sheng may not have noticed it yet, right?”
Otherwise, you would have already been sincerely terrified, reporting to the Supreme Purity Mountain for help.
“Is that so?” Wei Sheng Xian raised an eyebrow, surprised, “What is the reason? Please, Dao friend, tell us without reservation.”
“For hundreds of years, the human realm has been stable, without any trace of ghosts. However, now a shocking change may be about to occur.” The Nascent Soul Daoist said solemnly.
“The Main Sect has sent a message, announcing to all Immortal Sects: The heavens have unpredictable winds and clouds, and between life and death, there will be great terror. Now the realm is turbulent, and humanity is uneasy, it is because the Ghost Realm is near and will soon connect with the human realm. All Immortal Sects should help each other, share weal and woe, and jointly welcome the great calamity.”
Suddenly, a burst of abrupt laughter was heard in the hall.
It turned out to be Fourth Palace Master Feng Jiang, propping up his cheek, murmuring to himself in a low voice: “Receive the decree, thank you for your grace?”
Then he chuckled to himself.
The Nascent Soul Daoist’s face changed, turning green and white as he looked at Feng Jiang: “Realm affairs are not to be trifled with!”
The Supreme Purity Main Sect cultivated the Great Dao of the Realm, inheriting the supreme will of heaven. It was truly kind and responsible to inform the Immortal Sects of the Four Seas of this life-threatening news. What was the attitude of this Micro-Snow Palace?
“Dao friend, why get so angry?” Wei Sheng Xian said with a smile, “Fourth Palace Master is still young, with a perverse temperament. We can’t do anything about him either. Dao friend, you don’t need to bother with him.”
There were three people in the hall whose cultivation was higher than his. The Nascent Soul Daoist took a deep breath, suppressing the displeasure in his heart: “Palace Master Wei Sheng, having heard this matter, what do you intend to do?”
“Oh? Isn’t realm connection a good thing?” Wei Sheng Xian said, “In the past, when small realms connected to the human world, wasn’t it always your esteemed Main Sect that announced it to the Immortal Sects, and then based on seniority, entered to explore?”
“The opening of a small realm is naturally an opportunity, how can it be compared with the Ghost Realm?”
Even with the Nascent Soul Daoist’s cultivation of forbearance, he couldn’t help but speak sharply at this time.
——How could this Micro-Snow Palace Master not understand human speech?
Did he have to explain such common sense of Immortal cultivation?
Those scattered small realms occasionally connected to the human world, and Immortal cultivators entered them. If they were lucky, they could obtain inheritances from other realms, ancient secret treasures, which was indeed an opportunity.
There were even a few small realm secret realms with abundant resources and sufficient spiritual energy, which opened regularly every few years, allowing Immortal Sect disciples to go there to train.
Most of the Immortal cultivation resources in this realm were owned, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was increasingly scarce. Exploring secret realms outside the realm was indeed an indispensable part of Immortal Dao cultivation.
——The premise was that it was a small realm, not large in scale, that could be controlled.
If it was more dangerous, the Supreme Purity Main Sect would come forward, deduce the point of intersection of the realms, and then the Dao Sect would lead the Immortal Sects to explore together.
Even if there was danger that required human lives to fill, the benefits were even greater, and in the end, they would all be considered to have returned fully loaded.
But that Nether Ghost Realm was treacherous and unpredictable. When the passage opened, ten thousand ghosts would emerge. Wouldn’t the entire human realm become a “secret realm outside the realm” for it?
The Nascent Soul Daoist: “The Ghost Realm is recorded in ancient books as a powerful realm whose strength far exceeds that of the human realm. If it truly connects with the human realm, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“So that’s how it is, I was ignorant.” Wei Sheng Xian nodded thoughtfully, “This is truly a major event. I wonder what instructions your sect has?”
Everything was finally on track, and the Nascent Soul Daoist felt slightly relieved upon hearing this.
“The extent to which this matter will develop has not yet been determined. To avoid public unrest, the sect has specially sent me here to inform you in person. In addition, there are two invitations attached.”
If there were two invitations, it would be interesting.
Ye Zhuo raised his eyes to look there. Li Yuan also looked over.
They saw the Nascent Soul Daoist handing over two crane-patterned invitations, each accompanied by a crane-shaped token.
“The first invitation is for the Immortal Dao Grand Assembly held as usual in three months. The Grand Assembly is held once every ten years, and all Immortal Sects will attend. When the last Grand Assembly was held, your palace had not yet been established. This time, our Supreme Purity Mountain, as the leader of the Immortal Sects, is naturally sending an invitation to your palace to participate.”
Li Yuan asked Ye Zhuo through voice transmission: “What is the Grand Assembly for?”
Ye Zhuo: “First, the Immortal Dao competition, then the Daoist Dharma assembly, and finally, the ranking of all sects and the division of territory.”
In today’s human realm, spiritual veins are divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, and Immortal cultivation sects are also divided into first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.
The grade is determined roughly based on the strength of the people in the sect.
If there is a Body Integration Stage mighty figure sitting in town, there is a good chance of becoming a not-so-small third-grade sect.
If there are three Body Integration Stage cultivators, they can be classified as a second-grade sect and occupy one side.
If there is a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator sitting in town, it is a first-grade sect, and the first-grade sects have the right to speak in Immortal Dao affairs.
And if there are three or more Tribulation Transcendence grandmasters in the sect, and there are Human Immortals sitting in town, then it is no longer a first-grade sect, but a super-grade sect that can lead the Immortal Sects and control the Immortal Dao.
Such as the Supreme Purity Mountain.
Perhaps there used to be others, but now there are none.
Conversely, if it has never been rated, it can only be considered a wild mountain cultivator sect, not in the Immortal Sect’s righteous path. Naturally, it does not need to participate in Immortal Sect affairs, and similarly, it will not receive righteous path protection in case of trouble.
Such as the Micro-Snow Palace.
It has only been established for ten years, so the Supreme Purity Mountain has naturally not sent a document.
Others call them Dao friends because the Micro-Snow Palace has its own spiritual veins and people who can fight.
Li Yuan continued to transmit his voice: “Sects are still divided into grades? What’s the use of dividing them, isn’t it still the same cultivation?”
Ye Zhuo: “It’s not the same cultivation.”
For example, when a secret realm outside the realm is opened, where opportunities and dangers coexist, the Supreme Purity Main Sect, cultivating the Dao of the Realm, calculates the time and location of the secret realm’s opening, the general situation, and sometimes holds the secret realm token.
Then the Dao Sect comes forward, leading the Immortal Sects to go together.
At this time, how many people each sect can bring, what realm people can bring, and the order of entry are all determined according to their respective grades.
The large sects naturally have more, and the small sects naturally have less.
The distribution of other Immortal Dao affairs, and even those cultivation methods and spirit renewal essences, is the same.
Therefore, all sects will participate in the Immortal Dao Grand Assembly, preferably with talented people in the sect, and disciples who stand out in the competition or Daoist debate, to change the future of the sect.
Wei Sheng Xian took the invitation and looked at the first one: “Your sect is truly thoughtful. Our Micro-Snow Palace will naturally attend such a grand event. Then this second invitation…”
The Nascent Soul Daoist said solemnly: “This second one is naturally for the Ghost Realm matter.”
“Why the Ghost Realm has suddenly approached the human world, and how much harm it will cause to the human world—these things are of great importance, concerning the safety of the human realm, and must be explored. The Main Sect has deduced the closest point between the Ghost Realm and the human realm, and plans to open a secret passage to the Ghost Realm in ten days with the power to reach the heavens and the earth.”
“—Then, gather the elite of the Immortal Sects to investigate. There are great dangers here, but naturally, there are also great opportunities.”
What kind of opportunities there are, not much is said, only spiritual energy is mentioned.
The Ghost Dao cultivation relies on Yin energy and resentment, and eats incense and blood food. They do not need the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which must be abundant in the world, unused by anyone.
If the sect’s spiritual veins are exhausted, and there is an opportunity to come to the Ghost Realm to cultivate, wouldn’t it be like a timely rain after a long drought, and the cultivation would definitely progress rapidly?
It is conceivable that there are many strange treasures and resources, and if the news is released, I don’t know how many people will be envious.
——Not to mention that at the juncture of life and death, one can have many insights, which is an excellent place for enlightenment.
“Therefore, our sect has decided to treat it as the most dangerous realm secret realm in the past, inviting sects above the third grade to participate.”
Wei Sheng Xian looked at the Nascent Soul Daoist: “Then, what does this have to do with our palace?”
The Nascent Soul Daoist: “The Micro-Snow Palace has not yet formally decided on a grade, but your palace has outstanding people and spirits, and there are already three Body Integration Stage mighty figures. The palace masters have much fame in the Immortal Dao. Therefore, our sect has made an exception to send an invitation to your palace, which will be handled according to the regulations of a second-grade sect—with the token as proof, the Micro-Snow Palace can send ten people, whose realm must be above the Nascent Soul Stage.”
Having said what he should say, the Nascent Soul Daoist finally breathed a sigh of relief.
——It was unprecedented for the Supreme Purity Mountain to promote a sect in this way, and even make an exception to send an opportunity. The talents of each sect will be fighting to the death for ten places. This Micro-Snow Palace was so neglectful before, truly not knowing what’s good for them.
He couldn’t help but look at the main hall, waiting for their reaction.
But they were each doing their own thing, still the same as before.
The Nascent Soul Daoist also felt that the atmosphere in the white jade hall was even more bizarre.
Not only did the palace masters have no reaction, even the disciple guarding the door and the two Little Daoists seemed to be looking at him quietly with faint, mocking gazes.
Such a scene seemed to be out of this world, how could it be like a righteous path Immortal Sect?
“Palace Master Wei Sheng, you are…”
But Wei Sheng Xian was just holding the invitation, smiling as he looked at him speak.
The Nascent Soul Daoist suddenly remembered something.
——Not yet graded, the Micro-Snow Palace seemed to really not be considered a righteous path Immortal Sect.
