Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear
Chapter 544 - 514: Profound Celestial Sect
And so the matter came to an end, the Father of the Frost Monarch’s face was dark, and the elderly Elders of the Shuang Family were all as quiet as chickens.
All the Taiyi of the Frost Domain quietly dispersed, including Wang Wu, no one wanted to court bad luck, right, and it had nothing to do with us.
As for the position of Chief of Dragon Head City, well, it’s lost. Now that the Frost Domain still has three sub-altars, it’s fine, the sky won’t fall.
And it seemed that the Shuang Family was too embarrassed to ask the Frost Monarch for help, perhaps they still cared about their reputation.
Afterwards, the atmosphere on the Spirit-Catching Ship remained eerie, everyone continued to drink, play chess, listen to music, flirt and frolic, without any delay.
The relationship between Wang Wu and Qingxue remained passionate as they hid at the stern of the ship, conquering territories, sweeping the courtyard, wherever they went, the wind would follow and surrender, truly happy days.
Three months went by in a flash, and the mountain gate of the Profound Celestial Sect arrived.
Of course, it was actually intercepted one hundred and fifty thousand miles away in the Frost Domain and guided by disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect, parked in a designated area, with everything prepared to an incredible degree, showcasing the profound heritage of the ancient Immortal Sect.
For instance, giving each Taiyi True Immortal who came to witness the event a Creation Jade Talisman, with which they could instantly teleport back to the Spirit-Catching Ship within a radius of two hundred thousand miles, to avoid any danger.
Of course, they could also teleport to the main hall of the Profound Celestial Sect’s mountain gate or call for assistance from the Profound Celestial Sect.
In short, it was very secure. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
In addition, the marketplaces at the Profound Celestial Sect’s mountain gate were open for free to all witnesses for three hundred years, essentially allowing them to reside there for three hundred years.
After all, the marketplaces at the Profound Celestial Sect’s mountain gate were among the top Immortal Cities in the entire Cultivation Realm.
This opportunity might not be particularly enticing to Qingxue, as she could come at any time, but for Wang Wu, it was indeed rare because as a member of the Demon Race, he typically would either have to pay a high deposit and endure a 150% Spirit Tax, or have a big figure like the Frost Monarch vouch for him.
Now it was settled, he had even decided to stay here for three hundred years after the event ended,
When he told Qingxue about this, she wholeheartedly agreed, willing to stay with him, as she held a high regard for the Profound Celestial Sect.
"I’ve long heard of the Profound Celestial Sect’s reputation but never had the chance to visit. Now I can finally fulfill this wish."
"Let’s go, it will take at least another three years for the Sect Leader to break through the boundary, and before martial law is enforced, let’s first explore their marketplace at the mountain gate."
Qingxue excitedly dragged Wang Wu off the ship, without even notifying anyone. After all, they’re Taiyi True Immortals, could they really get lost?
However, the Creation Jade Talisman given by the Profound Celestial Sect must be overlaid with the Identity Jade Talisman from the Hidden Origin Association to be used, essentially meaning that the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch was vouching for everyone.
In fact, there was no one who could resist staying on the Spirit-Catching Ship at such a time.
After completing the procedures, everyone said nothing more and pinched their Creation Jade Talisman to teleport away.
In the end, only Frost Monarch, Zhuang Bufei, Feng Muhai, Qu Shenglian, and all the Cricket Dragons were left to guard the Spirit-Catching Ship.
Wang Wu considered whether to ask for instructions, but ended up being dragged off by Qingxue, truly a rebellious disciple!
In an instant, they crossed the distance of one hundred and fifty thousand miles. The quality of the teleportation, the precision of the positioning, earned praises from Wang Wu. Though not an expert, he understood how difficult it was to calibrate and anchor Yin and Yang Qi, especially a permanent anchoring.
The simplest, long-distance teleportation is simple, but try providing instant access teleportation for ten thousand people at once, it’s like the concept of a website suddenly having ten thousand visitors at once.
But the difficulty of using a website and this kind of teleportation goes beyond being geometric in degree.
Wang Wu himself felt no discomfort.
Note, discomfort is normal, just like ordinary people taking a high-speed elevator or jumping off a building might feel their soul flying away.
Cultivators using long-distance Teleportation Arrays would also experience dizziness, collapse, faint, or even permanent trauma.
This is because the positioning of Yin and Yang Qi is not precise or powerful enough.
The physical body is transported over, but the soul remains in the original place, and most importantly, the sense for power stays in an uncontrolled state.
Over time, everyone thought that experiencing discomfort during teleportation was inevitable, thinking it was normal.
They thought they were just too weak.
Not at all, it was the builders of the Teleportation Arrays who were too weak.
Wang Wu dared to bet that here at the Profound Celestial Sect, even a mortal child could be placed in such long-distance teleportation without any discomfort.
"I guess the Profound Celestial Sect must have an Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact even stronger than Zhenyuan Tower."
"No, you guessed wrong, not just one but nine, plus six from the Cyan Cloud Sect, just these fifteen Eternal Firm Immortal Artifacts cover about one-fifth of the entire Cultivation Realm. Their instantaneous random teleportation can allow up to two million people to teleport randomly at the highest peak." Qingxue sighed, the gap was too vast.
Wang Wu didn’t say another word. At this moment, the two of them were not in any grand square structure, nor had they seen any majestic grand complex, but appeared randomly on a scenic mountain path, not far from which they could see mortal villages and farmlands, nothing particularly special, nor was the Spiritual Qi particularly dense.
However, they could feel the celestial arrays hidden in the stars and scattered around were operating invisibly, as if a single misstep would lead to fatal disaster.
However, in fact, the Creation Jade Talisman sent by the Profound Celestial Sect already contained many choices.
It’s as if each of them held a phone installed with hundreds or thousands of apps; a glance reveals where to go, shopping, consumption, entertainment, sparring, querying the Dao, all sorts of services, all in one go.
It can even be precise down to all the shops in the market within the mountain gate.
Yes, these shops don’t need to have signboards on both sides of a street, hiring a group of attendants like mortals do, or even vulgarly using a group of female cultivators as hostesses, that’s for the nouveau riche.
This is because each shop has its own small microcosm.
If you want to see city walls, streets, and attendants hollering, please go to the Mortal World.
It’s even unnecessary to actually visit the microcosm where the shop is located, as one can directly access it through the Common Vault of the Profound Celestial Sect, and with a wisp of Divine Thought, one can get a shopping experience nearly identical to being there in person.
Of course, if you go to the Secret Vault, it has styles of all kinds, but what qualifications do they have to enter the Secret Vault of the Profound Celestial Sect anyway.
Currently, the qualification to enter the Common Vault is a benefit attached to attending this ceremony.
"Actually, most of the materials sold at the market of the Profound Celestial Sect’s mountain gate are basically no different from what our Hidden Origin Association’s Common Vault offers, at most just the transportation cost varies. Our Hidden Origin Association has large-scale trade dealings with both the Profound Celestial Sect and the Cyan Cloud Sect, so whatever is here, our Hidden Origin Association has it too."
"There are three places you truly mustn’t miss. Firstly, it’s the Wenda Palace of the Profound Celestial Sect, which is permanently open to all Taiyi, regardless of being human or demon. Here, year-round, disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect guard the stage; defeat them, and you’ll receive corresponding rewards. The key is to hone your combat skills here, which is what you lack. After the ceremony, you can stay here to hone your skills for a hundred years, which should be very rewarding."
"Secondly, it’s the Five Elements Palace of the Profound Celestial Sect. This is difficult to enter, but with our current identity, you can go to the Five Elements Palace to be a Medicine Boy and learn Alchemy. Aren’t you experienced in Alchemy? I suggest after the ceremony, you go to the Five Elements Palace to be a Medicine Boy for a hundred years."
"Thirdly, it’s the most famous Void Illusion Realm of the Profound Celestial Sect. Unfortunately, the difficulty of entering it is as hard as reaching the heavens, especially for you; it’s almost impossible to get the chance to enter, or else you honestly could give it a try. As long as you pass the Void Illusion Realm, you can reach the Trial Divine Hall of the Profound Celestial Sect in Outer Heaven."
"Through the trials, you can continuously strengthen your Creation Immortal Body. It is currently known that there are sixteen Trial Divine Halls in total in Outer Heaven. Going through one trial can condense some Creation Spiritual Qi and Creation Refined Qi Blood; roughly three Trial Divine Halls can condense it by onefold. Generally, as long as you complete the trials of fifteen Trial Divine Halls, the Creation Spiritual Qi and Creation Immortal Body can be condensed fivefold on the base."
"At this point, you become Half-step Daluo."
"This is also the difference between the Taiyi Ninth Tier and the Half-step Daluo."
"Taiyi Ninth Tier is just Taiyi Ninth Tier, whereas the Half-step Daluo is at least five times stronger."
"The Trial Divine Hall is also one of the most important core strategic resources for various forces in the Cultivation Realm, as crucial as the modulation and mastery of Yin and Yang Qi."
After listening to Qingxue’s introduction, Wang Wu seemed to gain some understanding; this was more advanced and core intelligence.
"So, must one cultivate to Taiyi Ninth Tier to enter the Trial Divine Hall?"
"There is no such requirement, but in reality, the earlier you enter the Trial Divine Hall, the lower the difficulty of completing the trial, but the gains tend to be less. The later you enter, the higher the difficulty, but the gains are relatively more."
"Moreover, many Trial Divine Halls simply don’t allow outsiders to enter. My master has currently only been to five Trial Divine Halls, and that’s already the limit. At this stage, to enter Trial Divine Halls controlled by other forces, a huge profit exchange is necessary. But to achieve huge profits, one must establish a very large-scale force; otherwise, it’s not even qualified to be on equal footing, nor can it guarantee a fair exchange."
"Of course, there’s another method, which is to go to Outer Heaven and find an undiscovered Trial Divine Hall yourself..."
"Never mind, let’s not speak of these now; the Profound Celestial Sect has many renowned special products, among which the Drunken Immortal Wine is the most famous. Coming here today, how can we not have a drink, let’s go!"
Qingxue took Wang Wu, vanishing instantly from the spot, reappearing above a vast rippling lake, with enormous lotus leaves like small islands, and budding pink flowers in the center, wafting a refreshing fragrance. Just a gentle sniff and the wisp of Divine Thought Wang Wu had previously expended rapidly recovered.
It turns out this was an Immortal Wine that could enormously enhance the Divine Soul!
At this moment, even the Four Clowns and that mother-in-law were alarmed, all clamoring to buy a jug.
"How to purchase this Drunken Immortal Wine?"
Wang Wu felt a little embarrassed, honestly because he was a bit short of money.
Before Qingxue could respond, a sweet voice emanated from among the flowers.
"Honored guests, our Drunken Immortal Residence’s Immortal Wine has three sellings and three non-sellings."
"Firstly, not for sale to the Taiyi of the Nine Alliances, Three Conferences, and Two Sects."
"Secondly, not for sale to the Demon Race."
"Thirdly, not for sale to those who don’t recognize the Immortal within the wine."
Goodness, doesn’t this mean Wang Wu doesn’t qualify to purchase it?
"And the three sellings?"
"Friends of the Profound Celestial Sect, they may buy."
"The Human Race may buy!"
"Those who can defeat me may buy!"
