Miss Li Was Dull-Witted

"Lan'er."

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Lan, who was engrossed in reading a book without a cover, paused, looked up, and saw the Ghost Emperor Phantom standing in front of her.

"Qiu... Your Majesty."

Jiang Lan quickly changed her tune, saying, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

As she asked the question, she raised her delicate hand and gently turned a page in the book. Instantly, ink from the book flew out, transporting the person and their shadow to a small, dark space.

The Ghost Emperor Phantom nodded.

"I'm planning a trip to the Immortal Realm soon, so I came to let you know."

"Are you going to the Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan put down her book and blinked.

"Hmm, but who will take you there?"

It seems that Jiang Lan also has some understanding of the spatial mechanisms of the Immortal Realm.

"I'll have Jinyao take me, and Ruowei also had a mishap during her training, so she has to come along too."

The Ghost Emperor Phantom replied, "There's no other way. The demonic calamity of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou has just passed. Even if Huangfu Feng and Zhu Feng wanted to Ascension, they would have to endure it. Even Xiangxue couldn't leave."

"Okay, good luck."

Jiang Lan nodded, completely unconcerned that Bai Qiuran traveling with the other young women.

"The Immortal Realm is not a very friendly place right now; you must be careful to protect their safety."

"I know."

"Besides."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lan said, "You're definitely going to the Central Immortal Realm on this trip, right? Then could you please visit Aunt Xi He and Sister Three-Legged Crow for me, and bring them some gifts from the Book of Questions? I've already had Lin Rui prepare everything; you just need to go back to the Fusang Immortal Palace to pick them up."

Are Xi He and the Three-Legged Crow also in the Central Immortal Realm?

Bai Qiuran, manipulating the Ghost Emperor Phantom, asked a question.

"Yes, I'm here."

Jiang Lan replied, "Xi He is currently retired in the Central Immortal Realm, while Sister Three-Legged Crow manages the operation of the Sun in all worlds; this position only exists in the Central Immortal Realm."

"It sounds like... the Central Immortal Realm is quite isolated from the other Four Directions Immortal Realm."

The Ghost Emperor Phantom frowned.

I'm not sure either.

Jiang Lan shook her head.

"The last time I met Xi He and the others was tens of thousands of years ago, and I haven't seen Li'er since he founded the Immortal Realm."

"Okay, I'll bring it for you."

The Ghost Emperor Phantom touched Jiang Lan's hair.

"Please bear with me these next few days. I'll come to take you back once I return from the Immortal Realm."

"Um."

After returning to the Fusang Immortal Palace and retrieving the gifts Jiang Lan had given to Xi He and the Three-Legged Crow from Lin Rui, Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei went to find Li Jinyao, who was learning Divine Ability from the Red Dust Immortal Elder.

The round trip took about a month. Although Spatial Divine Ability is indeed difficult to learn, a month was more than enough for Li Jinyao, who possessed the Heavenly Demon Physique.

Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei were both full of confidence in Li Jinyao, but they didn't expect that when they arrived, they would see the Red Dust Immortal Elder with a worried look on his face coming out to greet them.

"Grandmaster, it's because your disciple is useless..."

"Wait, what's wrong?"

Seeing his expression, Bai Qiuran quickly asked, "Did something happen to Jinyao?"

I'm fine.

The next moment, Li Jinyao walked out of the bamboo forest with a smile, following the Red Dust Immortal Elder.

Bai Qiuran looked at her and found that the girl didn't seem to be missing any limbs, so he asked the Red Dust Immortal Elder in surprise, "Then what did you say about your disciple being useless?"

"This disciple is incompetent."

The Red Dust Immortal Elder sighed, "Within a month, I couldn't even teach a Mahayana Stage Cultivators whose aptitude is comparable to my master's to the Spatial Divine Ability of 'Universe in the Palm.' Perhaps I truly lack the talent for teaching."

"What? You didn't even learn it?"

Both Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei showed surprise upon hearing the words of the Red Dust Immortal Elder.

Then, Tang Ruowei looked at Li Jinyao suspiciously and muttered to herself, "Could she be faking it?"

Of course, considering that she had promised Li Jinyao in the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode to help her find happiness, Tang Ruowei did not read it aloud, nor did she utter a sound.

However, the other guy didn't think about so many things. After hearing what the Red Dust Immortal Elder said, he Consciousness shouted out the same question as Tang Ruowei. His voice was as loud as it could be, and his words were as doubtful as they could be.

"Could he be faking it?"

"Of course not."

Li Jinyao feigned a pitiful, tearful expression and said, "Everyone has their weaknesses, senior is being too harsh on Jinyao..."

"Uh, okay."

Bai Qiuran. Of course, he still had doubts in his heart. He thought that Li Jinyao's appearance was most likely an act.

But if someone learns Divine Ability and doesn't use them, there's nothing he can do. Now he's begging Li Jinyao to Ascension, and whatever Li Jinyao asks for, as long as it's not excessive, he has no choice but to comply.

"Then, if Miss Li cannot use this Divine Ability to take us up, are there any other ways?"

Bai Qiuran asked the Red Dust Immortal Elder.

"Yes, but it puts an enormous strain on the physical body; even ordinary Immortals couldn't withstand that kind of impact."

"The load is not a problem."

Bai Qiuran asked without hesitation, "What method?"

"Just place the people you want to take up next to the Ascension."

The Red Dust Immortal Elder replied.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

The Red Dust Immortal Elder replied, "Miss Li is a prodigy. She cultivates Demonic Art and has reached the Mahayana Stage Ascension stage with her physical body. She breaks through every tribulation and has tempered her body to the point where she can ascend to immortality. Since she has not Dissolution Ascension body to become Loose Immortal, she Ascension directly to the Immortal Realm in physical form through Spatial Passage. Anyone who is close to her will also be brought into the Immortal Realm's Ascension passage."

Bai Qiuran had seen the technique of "Dissolution" in the Book of Questions of the Ghost Realm. It was probably a cultivation method or a method of avoiding calamity created by the Human Race.

Not every Human Race Cultivators can successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. In fact, only a minority of people can attain immortality, and Cultivators who can successfully advance to the Mahayana Stage Tribulation Crossing Stage are almost one in a hundred or a thousand.

When a Cultivators knows that he cannot withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, but still has some strength left, he can perform the "Soldier's Dissolution," abandoning his physical body and letting his Nascent Soul enter the Nascent Soul within the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul. Then, he can use a sharp blade to cut off his own head, and the Nascent Soul will leave the Purple Mansion and Ascension heaven. This is called "Dissolution."

Using this method, Cultivators's Nascent Soul may have a certain chance to Ascension to the Immortal Realm and become Immortals. However, this does not necessarily guarantee a smooth Ascension. The various setbacks on the path to Ascension are difficult for the Spirit Body to overcome. Therefore, some people will directly enter the Reincarnation after their Dissolution and be taken away by the Underworld Emissary Underworld Ghost Realm to start cultivating again.

Even if one successfully Ascension using this method, their innate starting point will be much later than that of other Immortals Ascension physical means. After entering the Immortal Realm, they will need at least several decades or even hundreds of years to condense their physical body.

If it were in the past, during the era when Bai Li ruled the Immortal Realm in the Divine Age, Bai Qiuran believed that those who ascended to Ascension through Dissolution would not be in any danger during this period. But now, who knows if the Five Directions Immortal Emperor would try to pull some tricks on those who ascended to immortality through Dissolution at this time.

"Alright then."

Bai Qiuran said, "Teach me the Divine Ability of 'Universe in the Palm,' and I'll take Ruowei away. Then you can tell us how to operate it."
