New Chapter: Drinking Wedding Wine in the Immortal Realm

Some people seem unable to escape their names; even if they don't appear in the universe, their names are found everywhere, even in outer universes and beyond.

Some beings inspire awe, their legends followed by those who come after them, their footprints searched for. Others, however, inspire terror, predators that have terrified people for centuries, across countless universes.

Wang Xuan frowned. Was Zou Ping's missing core of primordial spirit taken away by someone, or did he have a problem with his own cultivation?

Inside the small grotto, there was a stone stool and a stone table, on which were placed various Immortal Family Exotic Treasure, as well as various scriptures.

There was still plenty of time, so Wang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He sat there, examining the various spoils of war and going through his memories to find flaws.

Not only was the core of Zou Ping's primordial spirit hollow, but his primordial Divine Statue was like a piece of paper that had been gnawed by termites, with small holes in some of the edges, indicating that something was missing.

Zou Ping's life may have been manipulated. No matter how you look at it, his spirit is flawed, as if some kind of "parasite" has eaten away part of it.

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Immortal!" In another Stone House, Su Tong was extremely excited, as some of the fog surrounding his cultivation path had been cleared.

In other Stone House, a few lucky senior students were also received into the celestial realm. They were so shocked and excited that they trembled and immediately kowtowed to the true immortals.

"I possess the Pure Yang Refining Form Manual, which can help you advance further in your true demon body. Study it diligently, and it will be of great benefit." A Demon Immortals spoke, looking down at the old demon elder kneeling at his feet.

"I am deeply grateful and thank you, senior."

Although both are in the True Immortal Realm, the scenes are different, as if they are in different times and spaces, in another world, where the divine spring gurgles, the Purple Bamboo Forest rustles, and the sound of a zither tinkles.

"The music stirred up long-forgotten memories of this world, reminding me of certain people. Touched by these memories, I'm sending you a copy of the Nine Revolutions Great Method of the Heavenly God."

"Thank you so much Immortal Master!" Hu Mingli exclaimed in delight.

"Get up, don't kneel on the ground."

In general, even seasoned cultivators who are close to becoming immortals and have already reached the Great Perfection of the Master of Nurturing Life would kneel before powerful figures from the True Immortal Realm, let alone newcomers like Qi Sheng, Ling Xuan, and Mao Lin.

In Wang Xuan's space, there was also someone kneeling, but the roles were reversed. He was sitting on a stone stool, while Zou Ping had made someone kneel in front of the table.

This small grotto was rather monotonous, so he found things to do to pass the time. For example, he placed various celestial fruits, snacks, and century-old wine on the stone table, all of which he had collected from his spatial bracelet in Zou Ping. He had already started to sip some wine.

He looked at the various objects on the table, from the immortal sword to the Falling Immortal Bow, and then to several scriptures that could be cultivated to the Ascension Ninth Heaven... He lost interest.

Even the extraordinary, golden-hued Immortal Family Wine Sap tasted bland to him. Wang Xuan always felt that he hadn't been given enough for the true immortal at the sixth level of the Ascension Realm.

"Hmm? The Dao-imperialized can be accumulated from the True Immortal realm. When one reaches the Heavenly level, one can feel subtle differences. The key lies in the depth of its breakthrough..."

Suddenly, while browsing through Zou Ping's memories, Wang Xuan found this passage in a veiled memory. He immediately perked up, and the wine he tasted became incredibly mellow and fragrant, making his pores glow with divine light.

Sure enough, Zou Ping was no ordinary person; he had some serious issues. How could someone who had only reached the sixth level of the Ascension to Immortality possess such a manuscript?

In Zou Ping's memory, it was a mottled ancient scroll, a handwritten note from an ancient person, which also recorded scriptures. After Wang Xuan read through a few pages, he was quite shocked.

Then, the scripture abruptly ended because it extended to the core area of the primordial spirit, which had become a black hole, missing the most important piece.

"Some races have shifted with the Supernatural Center and migrated, changing more than one Great Universe. It seems that they have really accumulated extraordinary scriptures. This scripture is worth exploring in depth."

It was only a few pages, but he compared it with Old Wang's performance and also with some of his own characteristics, and gained some deeper insights.

Wang Xuan sipped his wine and ate some fruit. After thoroughly searching Zou Ping, he made him stand up so he could no longer kneel, lest he accidentally stumble upon a True Immortal and be noticed.

He took Zou Ping's most powerful treasure— the Falling Immortal Bow —along with twelve Falling Immortal Arrow. After weighing them, he determined they were of high quality and, if properly prepared, could kill various creatures in the Ascension to Immortality stage.

Then came all sorts of ancient books, including those from more obscure or unfamiliar fields, which he also took, essentially looting the place.

He rewrote Zou Ping's memories, setting them up so that the two hit it off, and upon seeing "Qin Cheng" in front of him, Zou Ping thought of his past and gave him a pile of scriptures and precious treasures.

Although Wang Xuan was only at the first level of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Realm and had only recently passed the Tribulation of Immortality, he had repeatedly broken through the limits and undergone Nirvana at every Great Realm along his journey, rising to the top of the ceiling of the Mother Universe, making him exceptionally powerful.

He hasn't reached his limit yet; at least, it wasn't too difficult for him to grab Zou Ping, who was at the sixth level of the Feather Transformation Zou Ping, by the neck.

Afterwards, he had Dao Control Banner check for any oversights and help him remove any remaining traces, thus bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

Even if someone is manipulating Zou Ping, it doesn't matter if he notices something amiss later. In fact, Wang Xuan still wants to have contact with Zou Ping in the future.

The missing manuscript tantalized his interest; he hoped for a return to the source, a next time, so he could piece together the whole story.

At the same time, he also had some doubts. Was the deficiency in his primordial spirit something that Zou Ping had deliberately caused before entering the Immortal Realm? In order to avoid the rules of the Immortal Path, for example, there might be something on that tattooed human skin that could make up for Zou Ping's deficiency?

Or is Zou Ping simply a "scarecrow" that has been erected by someone?

"From what I can see, my path is correct. The main reason is that I have no other choice but to break through limits and move forward with heavy burdens, which seems to perfectly match the True Meaning of Dao-imperialization..."

Wang Xuan pondered that it was still too early to go back after finishing the finishing work. Should he take a trip to the True Immortal Realm? Otherwise, it wouldn't be a truly wondrous journey for him.

He glanced at Zou Ping. After his memories were altered, this man was "just happened" to be moved by past events in the mortal world, and he meditated and cultivated himself, sinking into the deepest part of his Mental World. If he were not "awakened" by him, he would remain silent for a long time.

"It seems that all living beings, including you and me, may be arranged by others. Whether we live with clear understanding or in a state of confusion, who can say for sure?"

Seeing Zou Ping's condition, Wang Xuan remarked with emotion.

Silently, he passed through this small grotto-heaven, changed his appearance, donned a feather robe, and swaggered into the immortal realm.

He had no need to worry about being exposed, because he was a true immortal himself, and he expected that a very few students in the Upper Academy could also enter and leave with special permission, thereby visiting immortals.

The True Immortal Realm has an exceptionally good environment. Mythical substances are abundant, and mist and celestial light flow over the mountain peaks. Some Auspicious Beast also appear.

"Hmm?" He saw a flying object in the distance, it was... a large spaceship?

He was certain he wasn't mistaken, and this was indeed the True Immortal Realm. Was this a sign of keeping up with the times, that the immortal realm had already entered the technological age and was leading the future?

Furthermore, the spaceship headed this way, and then it emitted Rule Ripples, using powerful Dao principles to create a path that merged into the Ascension Cliff sandwiched between the Immortal and Mortal Realms, and the spaceship disappeared from sight.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know whose carriage that is?" On the way, Wang Xuan saw a True Immortal crossing the sky and pretended to be traveling together, greeting him with his Divine Sense.

"A great figure from the mortal world, he should be the dean of the Ascension Star Pingtian Academy — Yuan Shidao," said the Demon Immortals who still looked like a young man, with an undisguised look of apprehension.

Wang Xuan was speechless. The dean of his academy was truly Niu Ben, freely entering and leaving the Immortal and Mortal Realms without being bound by the Immortal Realm Rule.

However, if he were to lose focus for even a moment, perhaps he could do it too?

After all, he achieved immortality through physical means, preserving his Primal Body, so the celestial realm couldn't imprison him. Besides, his ascension didn't take place in this universe, so Rules and regulations wouldn't have much effect on him.

"This is a very important person. He often enters and leaves the Immortal Realm, and is often drunk in the Ninth Heaven. He is frequently invited to banquets by highly accomplished immortals. Even a renowned female immortal like Bi Yue is one of his disciples." The passerby was extremely envious.

Then, he pointed to the sky and whispered, "I guess he was just visiting a higher level of the real world and was just passing through the immortal realm on his way back."

During their brief encounter, Wang Xuan realized that people like Yuan Shidao, the dean of the Pingtian Academy, and the sovereign, who could freely enter and leave various realms, were truly top-tier beings.

Such people can enforce the law across boundaries. Not long ago, several senior students also said that if a student of the academy had their foundation damaged by a true immortal at the Ascension Cliff, the dean would personally go to the immortal realm to kill the evil immortal.

Wang Xuan estimated that if he didn't let Zou Ping wake up, he should be able to remain asleep and meditate for another two or three hours, so there was still plenty of time.

"I haven't yet asked your name, fellow Daoist," Wang Xuan asked the passerby.

"My name is Lu Guanghai." He is a Demon Immortals, Five-colored Deer that has become a spirit and has been in the immortal realm for eight hundred years.

Wang Xuan also introduced himself as Chen Yongjie.

"Brother Lu, I see many fellow Daoists heading in the same direction along the way. Is there something you need?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Fellow Daoist, you've just come out of seclusion, haven't you? Don't you know? The Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan is getting married, and many True Immortals from all over the Ninth Heaven have come. It's quite a lively affair."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately agreed to go along. Since he had nothing better to do, he figured he might as well go to the wedding bar, see how the Heavenly Demon family's wedding was going, get to know the various immortals, and make some connections to prepare for the future.

"Fellow Daoist, it's fine if you decide to go on a whim, but you must keep a low profile there and not get drunk and cause trouble. The Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan is a true great demon who ascended from the True Immortal Realm. He has returned from beyond the mortal world and no longer belongs to our Immortal Realm," Lu Guanghai reminded him.

"Alright, how dare I, a mere cultivator at the bottom of society, be disrespectful?" Wang Xuan nodded.

Soon, they arrived at Fire Cloud City, three hundred miles away.

Nearby, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the earth is full of energy, and the Mythological Factor are incredibly rich. Various ancient trees, Jade Grass, and spiritual medicines grow all over the mountains.

The city on the horizon was shrouded in a faint Red Mist.

It is not old-fashioned at all, nor does it have the feel of age; it is a combination of classic and modern.

Throughout the city, there True Immortal Tower, hundreds of meters high, built like a skyscraper, the Jade Palace with more than a hundred floors, and a vast central square... It has both modern style and the elegant advantages of ancient architecture.

Wang Xuan wondered whether the immortals had led the way in shaping the mortal world's style, or whether it was influenced by the mortal realm.

Some people fly in, some ride in Immortal Boat, and some ride in extraordinary spaceships. Ancient and modern elements coexist, and there are all kinds of flying machines.

The Heavenly Demon's Wedding was held in a Wang Xuan -star hotel; at least, judging from its appearance, it seemed like a super-luxury hotel in the Real World.

Of course, this place is even more dazzling, filled with ethereal mist, and the welcoming party consists of real fairies. The fountains and other fountains are illuminated with five-colored divine light, and there is a golden avenue in the sky to greet distinguished guests.

At the wedding venue, the "star-rated hotel" was naturally a large, enchanted space.

Wang Xuan came to freeload, treating himself like one of the family and friends. He mingled with the bride's family and even received some gifts from the immortals, which were essentially red envelopes in the modern world.

The delicacies, rare items, and fine wines were quite luxurious. Wang Xuan was in his element, enjoying the meal immensely and unexpectedly receiving several red envelopes, which put him in a very good mood.

"Everyone, before I tore open the void passage and entered the True Immortal Realm, I unexpectedly obtained a piece of bone. It seems that an incredibly terrifying explosion had just occurred in that area, Dao Principle Afterglow is strong and has not dissipated for a long time. Today, my daughter is getting married, and I am very happy. So, I would like to share this extraordinary bone with you all."

The celestial demon Zhu Chuan appeared, his face glowing with health. He possessed an air of otherworldly grace and was an Old Vermilion Bird, already Heavenly Grade Being, no longer residing in this realm. He had returned specifically for his daughter.

In his hand was a strange bone, flowing with a hazy glow, as white as jade, which would appear and disappear depending on the Dao, truly extraordinary.

It wasn't that he was generous enough to make it public; it was just that some powerful figures saw him pick up that bone, and if a big shot really wanted it, he could use this opportunity to get rid of it and give it away in order to save his own life.

Although it hurts, it's better than being silently wiped out.

Wang Xuan's pupils contracted slightly. Was that a bone fragment of the Imperial Dao Level? What happened? There was a huge explosion. The place that the Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan passed through was definitely extraordinary.

Clearly, this bone is of immeasurable value, allowing people to observe it and understand something essential!
