One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge! Thanks to 'CzLB' for the Alliance Leader reward!

Beyond the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Above the nine layers of clouds.

The boundary is called the 'Spirit Domain'.

There is a place called the 'Nine Nether Domain'.

The realm is vast and boundless.

Not in one place or one boundary.

Centered on a vast, boundless land stretching for countless miles, it is surrounded by numerous Human Realm, large and small, resembling Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, forming a landscape of stars surrounding the moon.

This is the 'boundary'.

Ten realms are arranged vertically and horizontally, forming a vast Spirit Domain, in which countless immortals reside.

Among the many lower realms, it is also known as the 'Immortal Realm'.

It's pretty close.

The 'Nine Nether Domain' is one of them.

Three thousand six hundred small worlds are like stars orbiting around.

Like the Mountain-Water Realm.

Once cultivators here have reached the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm, they can ascend to this realm by following the Unseen energy.

There are also weaker ones.

Human cultivators who cultivate to the Golden Core can ascend to immortality.

There are also strong ones.

One must cultivate to become True Immortal to ascend to heaven.

"The Mountain-Water Realm ranks 381st out of the 3,624 minor worlds in the 'Nine Nether Domain'."

The Divine Wind Boat traversed the void, heading straight for the Nine Nether Domain.

It was pitch black on all sides.

Only on the Shenzhou spacecraft were the lights blazing, making it possible to see.

Meng Ba piloted the Divine Wind Boat, while Han Ling'er spoke eloquently to Lu Qingfeng about the Spirit Domain, the Nine Nether Domain, and the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Lu Qingfeng is alright.

His clone had ascended earlier and knew most of the basic information.

I was still somewhat surprised to hear that the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers ranked three or four hundredth out of more than three thousand small worlds in the Nine Nether Domain.

"They don't even have a True Immortal among them, yet they still manage to rank among the top."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself, "It seems that there's a lot of exaggeration in these three thousand-plus small worlds."

Qingshan, Qingyu, Lu Jing, and the others listened intently.

Upon hearing the ranking of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, Lu Qingyu exclaimed in surprise, "The Three Mountains and Nine Rivers have so many Primordial Spirit, yet they can only be ranked 381st?!"

The point of surprise was completely opposite to that of Lu Qingfeng.

This is a matter of perspective.

Since beginning her cultivation, Lu Qingyu has always lived amidst the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

What they were exposed to was information that cultivators of the Primordial Spirit could ascend to immortality.

There are quite a few Primordial Spirit figures in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, so when Lu Qingyu first heard that the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers were ranked three or four hundredth, he was a little confused.

Han Ling'er was not surprised. "In the Spirit Domain, although Primordial Spirit cultivators are considered minor experts, they are not uncommon. Only True Immortal are the top experts who can suppress a region. True Immortal are hard to find in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers. The reason why I am ranked in the top three hundred is because I am relatively close to the Nine Nether Continent."

Lu Qingyu listened, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

I can't imagine what the Spirit Domain must be like, where even the Primordial Spirit is not considered a person.

As for Lu Jing standing to the side, his eyes widened even more. "Primordial Spirit True One is nothing, what about a Foundation Establishment cultivator—"

In a short time.

I increasingly yearn for the visions of the Spirit Domain.

Han Ling'er's attitude towards Lu Qingfeng was completely different from her attitude towards 'Daoist Du Tian'.

Before Lu Qingfeng could ask, seeing Lu Qingyu, Lu Jing and the others looking on with longing, he told them many of his experiences in the Spirit Domain.

It drew excited looks from everyone.

The Divine Wind Boat travels through the void.

Silence.

Only occasional gasps of surprise rang out from the boat.

Several days later.

The Shenzhou spacecraft broke through the darkness and arrived at a place filled with Spiritual Qi and fragrant aromas.

"Arrive?"

Everyone's expressions brightened.

Then Han Ling'er announced loudly, "We've arrived at the 'Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm'."

Located in the southern part of the Nine Nether Domain, there is a place called 'Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm'.

To the east of this area lies Dragon-Coiling Mountain, and to the west, Tiger-Occupying Mountain.

Each place has its own immortal cultivators practicing there, hence the name.

Although the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm is only one realm of the Nine Nether Continent, its terrain is extremely vast, far surpassing that of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

Many of these are renowned sacred mountains where immortals are said to dwell.

For example, Vermilion-Glow Mountain.

For example, Seven Severances Mountain.

Like Jade-Congealing Cliff.

Like the Chilian Mountain.

Such as Lesser Cold Mountain and Nine Suns Ridge.

Each has its own legends and anecdotes, and the immortals Attainment of the Dao enlightenment became renowned far and wide.

One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

One of them!

The Tongtian Gorge is a unique wonder, unparalleled in the world.

A sliver of blue sky, white clouds drifting by. A sheer cliff rises thousands of feet, barely wide enough to be seen, winding and turning, a breathtaking spectacle. Peaks, gorges, forests, and springs—a masterpiece of nature.

Three streams and six valleys, springs boil and waterfalls cascade, mountains and waters reflect each other, movement and stillness are combined, peaks and forests complement each other, sound and color are intertwined, and clouds and peaks change in a seamless whole.

The world is filled with mist, and one enters a state of transcendence.

Eighteen peaks, arranged in a staggered pattern.

Cliffs break to form ravines, rocks rise to form peaks. The walls are as sharp as if carved by a knife, the peaks as deep as if etched by an axe.

The essence of the sun and moon, the harmony of heaven; the earth, bearing water and moisture, the profound support of the land.

It is truly a wondrous sight of dragons and tigers, a magnificent place unparalleled in history.

"Among the myriad Spirit Mountain in the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, only the Celestial Star Sect is the most magnificent and vibrant."

On the Divine Wind Boat.

Han Ling'er stood at the front, pointing to a fairyland ahead, speaking with great enthusiasm.

Meng Ba stood by, only smiling and saying nothing.

Lu Qingfeng gazed at the mountains ahead.

But behold, the peaks stand tall and majestic, each with its own unique posture. Some possess an imposing grandeur, others a majestic spirit, still others a serene joy, others a resounding roar, some stand tall and upright, others a gentle tenderness. These peaks, in their myriad forms, embody emotion and shape, power and spirit, movement and stillness, illusion and reality, all intertwined. Clouds and mist transform, swallowing mountains and spitting out ridges, the peaks shrouded in mist, the landscape reconstructed.

It is like the heavens beyond, like Jade Pool fairyland.

It is indeed a rare and beautiful place.

Although it is far inferior to Yellow Wind Ridge in the Earth Immortal Realm, it has its own unique charm.

"What Spirit Mountain!"

Lu Qingfeng praised.

"Junior brother has good taste."

Upon hearing this, Han Ling'er's smile widened.

Lu Qingyu, Lu Jing, and the others stood a little further back, also peering out at their future cultivation location. Seeing the verdant mountains and the ethereal aura they exuded, they all beamed with joy.

Along the way.

Of all the sights in the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, this place is the most spectacular.

"Of course. Don't be fooled by the impressive reputations of the Flame God Palace's Nine Suns Ridge and the Ice-Snow Divine Palace's Lesser Cold Mountain; they pale in comparison to the Heaven-Piercing Gorge."

Han Ling'er continued to boast.

Lu Qingfeng was well-informed and only listened to the story for fun, not taking it seriously.

However, Lu Qingyu and the others were inexperienced and were dumbfounded as they listened, feeling that the 'Immortal Realm' was indeed different from the mortal world and Dharma Form at all.

No wonder everyone wants to ascend to heaven.

The Divine Wind Boat is not slow.

Upon seeing Heaven-Piercing Gorge, we soon arrived at Spiritglow Peak, one of the outermost 'Eighteen Peaks'.

Spiritglow Peak Lingguang Peak.

It features numerous palaces, pavilions, and towers.

At the easternmost point, countless clouds converge to form a huge platform, a spectacular sight that drew the attention of Lu Qingshan, Xu Mi, and others.

"Spiritglow Peak is the place where outer disciples cultivate, the residence of the External Affairs Hall, and also the gateway to Heaven-Piercing Gorge."

"The eastern Cloud Platform is the observation deck for the 'fairy ships' that are currently idle."

Seeing Lu Qingfeng gazing at Spiritglow Peak, especially lingering on the Cloud Platform, Han Ling'er spoke up to introduce him.

"I see."

Lu Qingfeng suddenly realized.

No wonder most of the cultivators on this Spiritglow Peak are low-level cultivators, and Primordial Spirit are rarely seen. And each of the palaces has a label on it, some saying 'elixir,' some saying 'artifact,' and some saying 'talisman,' and so on.

Or the book may have labels such as 'Upper House', 'Middle House', and 'Lower House'.

The former should be the location of the External Affairs Hall, while the latter is the place where outer disciples cultivate.

As for the Cloud Platform—

"Wow!"

"What a huge 'celestial ship'!"

Lu Jing pointed to the east and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Qingfeng also looked eastward and saw a celestial ship, as large as a mountain or a city, cutting through the clouds and piercing the wind, landing on the Cloud Platform. It looked familiar, and he immediately smiled.

Han Ling'er was unaware.

Hearing Lu Jing's exclamation, he smiled and said, "My Celestial Star Sect is named after the Three Streams, Six Valleys, and Eighteen Peaks, and has a total of twenty-seven invincible immortal ships. Among them, the 'Three Streams and Eighteen Peaks' are all serving in the outer realms, while the 'Six Valleys' travel between the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm and the surrounding small realms. The one in front of us is called the 'Jade Dragon,' named after the 'Jade Dragon Ravine,' and is one of the top warships in Heaven-Piercing Gorge."

As Han Ling'er explained, she looked at the 'Jade Dragon' with a sense of awe.

The enormous Jade Dragon was covered in wounds, with the dragon bones buried deep inside faintly visible, clearly indicating that it had endured an unimaginable battle.

Due to the scarcity of resources and personnel on the Outer Realm Battlefield, repairs were difficult and the only option was to return to Heaven-Piercing Gorge for repairs.

"What a coincidence."

Han Ling'er, having seen many immortal ships damaged, was unconcerned. Instead, she smiled at Lu Qingfeng and said, "Immortal ships travel to and from the outer realms with top-tier True Immortal from Heaven-Piercing Gorge overseeing them. This 'Jade Dragon' only went to the outer realms more than ten years ago, and it should not return for another eighty or ninety years. The fact that it was damaged this time just happened to coincide with Junior Brother's entry into the sect."

Lu Qingfeng nodded without saying a word.

When it comes to the outer realms and how the 'Jade Dragon' was damaged, he knows far more than Han Ling'er. He even knows that the one who returned on the 'Jade Dragon' this time is still Gu Jin, the patriarch of the Warcry Tribe, one of the four top True Immortal of Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

"Come, come, come."

"Let me introduce you."

Han Ling'er led Lu Qingfeng and flew towards the 'Jade Dragon'.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Swish, swish, swish!

With the 'Jade Dragon' now at a complete stop, hundreds of Core Formation and Primordial Spirit cultivators, like ants, flew from the Spiritglow Peak to the observation platform and clung to it.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two more beams of light came from the depths of Heaven-Piercing Gorge and landed on the 'Jade Dragon'.

When Lu Qingfeng, Han Ling'er, and Meng Ba arrived, they saw the three True Immortal talking.

Lu Qingfeng knew one of them.

It was Gu Jin, the top-tier True Immortal who was stationed on the 'Jade Dragon' ship during his journey to the outer realms with his Eight Desolations Avatar.

"Elder Gu."

"Elder Ji."

Elder Shen.

Han Ling'er boarded the immortal ship, greeted the three first, and then introduced them to Lu Qingfeng: "These three are all True Immortal Elders of Heaven-Piercing Gorge. This is Elder Gu Jin, who has been stationed in the Outer Realm Battlefield for many years and has killed and maimed countless Devil Creature under his command. This is Elder Ji Han, and this is Elder Shen Bing, both of whom are grandmasters in weapon refining and formation. The construction and repair of the immortal ship are all overseen by Elder Ji and Elder Shen."

Gu Jin.

Ji Han.

Shen Bing.

The three True Immortal stopped their discussion when they saw Han Ling'er and Meng Ba come up.

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng was an unfamiliar face, he couldn't help but look at Han Ling'er.

Han Ling'er smiled at Lu Qingfeng and introduced the three of them, "This is the junior disciple personally chosen by our master. He just ascended from the Mountain-Water Realm."

"Is Patriarch Qin going to take on another disciple?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them, including Gu Jin, were all taken aback.

Patriarch Qin was extremely strict in accepting disciples.

Over the years, only three people have been accepted.

Two of them are now in the outer realms and have long been top-tier True Immortal. Han Ling'er is also exceptionally remarkable; not only did she become True Immortal in five thousand years, but she is also quite accomplished in the art of formations.

Although he is currently only a True Immortal of the First Realm, his future achievements will certainly not be inferior.

All three disciples were exceptionally talented.

Is he going to take on a fourth disciple?

Gu Jin and the other two looked at Lu Qingfeng and were shocked at the sight of him.

"He's actually cultivated to become True Immortal?!"

"Didn't you just ascend to heaven?"

"No wonder he caught the eye of Patriarch Qin."

The three of them thought to themselves, and since they had all met Lu Qingfeng before, they considered themselves acquaintances.

Since they were both from Heaven-Piercing Gorge, they often traveled back and forth between the two places, and thus a friendship developed.

Han Ling'er was in a hurry to take Lu Qingfeng to pay respects to their master, so she didn't linger for long.

After placing Lu Qingshan and the others on Spiritglow Peak and getting Meng Ba's help to settle them in, he led Lu Qingfeng towards the heart of Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

En route.

Han Ling'er said, "There are quite a few True Immortal in Heaven-Piercing Gorge."

"My two senior brothers are stationed in the outer realms, each with a True Immortal under their command. Elder Gu Jin frequently travels between the outer realms and Heaven-Piercing Gorge, but spends most of his time on the Outer Realm Battlefield. In addition to the five of them, including you, me, Elder Ji Han, Elder Shen Bing, and Elder Meng Ba, there are a total of ten True Immortal."

Earth Immortal is in charge.

Ten True Immortal.

This number isn't large, but it represents the most prosperous period in the history of the Heaven-Piercing Gorge lineage.

Seventy thousand years ago, when Patriarch Qin had just ascended to heaven, there were only two True Immortal in Heaven-Piercing Gorge. Including Patriarch Qin, there were only three.

Patriarch Qin was exceptionally talented and cultivated himself into Earth Immortal for 20,000 years.

After taking charge of Heaven-Piercing Gorge, he recruited two True Immortal, Gu Jin, the patriarch of the Warcry Tribe, and Meng Ba, the patriarch of the Black-Armored Tribe. He also personally taught three True Immortal, Yan Guanhai, Tingfengzi, and Han Ling'er, and thus developed Heaven-Piercing Gorge into a powerful force with considerable prestige and status in the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm and even the entire Nine Nether Domain.

Ten True Immortal would be insignificant in the Earth Immortal Realm, or even in the Southern Florescence Realm.

Take a look at the Peach Mountain Four Sects.

Which one doesn't have the foundation of one or two hundred True Immortal?

But looking at the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm...

It's not just Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

Other places with Earth Immortal residing there include Vermilion-Glow Mountain, Seven Severances Mountain, Plum Blossom Cave of Jade-Congealing Cliff, Nine Suns Ridge Flame God Palace, Lesser Cold Mountain Ice-Snow Divine Palace, Chilian Mountain, and Lantuo Mountain Formless Zen Monastery.

Some are even worse than Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

Among them, Seven Severances Mountain and Chilian Mountain are the most outstanding.

The former, 'Violet Spirit Fairy,' has only one True Immortal under her tutelage, Pure-Heart Fairy. As for Chilian Mountain, 'Black Dragon True Lord,' he is a loner with no True Immortal among his disciples.

Recalling the information his Eight Desolations Avatar had gathered in the Lesser Dragon-Tiger Realm, and listening to Han Ling'er's explanation, Lu Qingfeng gained a better understanding of the strength of Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

Follow Han Ling'er inside.

Along the way.

Han Ling'er gave Lu Qingfeng a general overview of Heaven-Piercing Gorge.

It also describes the mountains and streams along the way.

The two crossed Heavenly Florescence Peak, passed White Dragon Ravine, and Azure Dragon Ravine, finally stopping in front of the magnificent Heaven-Piercing Falls.

The Heaven-Piercing Falls resembles a dragon emerging from the sea, with an imposing and majestic presence.

Far away.

Water droplets splashed down, and a cool breeze swept over us.

On one side of the waterfall, a Daoist priest dressed in a robe with the seven stars Eight Trigrams sat cross-legged.

Han Ling'er stepped forward in a few strides, bowed to the Daoist priest, and said, "Greetings, Master."

Lu Qingfeng also looked at the Daoist.

I recognized him—

This Daoist priest was the same one who appeared and bestowed treasures upon him when he broke through the twenty-seventh level of the Formation Mountain in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

The bestowed 'Nine-Palace Divine Sword' is still on Lu Qingfeng's person.

Lu Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying respectfully, "Lu Qingfeng greets Patriarch Qin."

Games, reality.

Ultimately, they are two parallel lines.

In the game, he is known as the "Pure Great Sage" and the "Spirit-Capturing Great General," and is also a newly promoted Earth Immortal. His cultivation level may not be weaker than that of the person in front of him.

His Divine Ability combat power, family background, wealth, and influence far surpass those of Patriarch Qin.

But in reality...

He is only a newly promoted True Immortal and still needs the protection of Patriarch Qin.

I dare not be impolite.

"Good!"

Patriarch Qin flicked his sleeve, looked at Lu Qingfeng, and nodded with a smile, "Back then, when you broke through the twenty-seven layers of the Formation Mountain, I knew that you would definitely be extraordinary in the future. But I never expected that in just four hundred years, you would actually cross the Primordial Spirit Great Realm and reach the Mahayana Ascension Immortal Realm."

Patriarch Qin spoke, his admiration was evident in his words.

He cultivated for 1,200 years to become True Immortal, surpassing all three of his carefully selected disciples and even the countless geniuses in the Spirit Domain.

Heaven-Piercing Gorge is fortunate to have such a person.

Given time, it's not impossible to add another Earthly Immortal Ancestor!

Patriarch Qin was extremely satisfied and smiled gently at Lu Qingfeng, "Would you be willing to become my disciple and join my Heaven-Piercing Gorge lineage?"

"The patriarch is too kind."

"Disciple Lu Qingfeng greets Master!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Patriarch Qin.

From then on, they established their official status and formally entered Heaven-Piercing Gorge.
