The Immortal Caresses Your Crown, Ties Your Hair, and Grants You an Emerald Headdress

"Qingmingzi? Let me see."

The Immortals pulled a book from under the table, flipped through it, and said, "Found it. Ascension from World One, who Ascension the Eastern Immortal Realm more than 3,300 years ago... Hmm, speaking of which, a trio of you Ascension together is truly rare. Since the collective Ascension of the Azure Emperor tens of thousands of years ago, very few people from World One have been able to Ascension physically."

"So, where is he now?"

Bai Qiuran pressed for an answer, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Who are you to him?"

The Immortals did not answer, but instead asked a question.

Bai Qiuran found it a bit strange, but still replied, "I'm his apprentice, so what?"

"If you want to acknowledge your ancestors, then I advise you to sever all ties with him."

The Immortals flipped through the book in his hands and said, "The Eastern Immortal Realm is not what it used to be. You are all Cultivators have ascended to the heavens through physical Ascension, with limitless potential. After you enter, you should focus on cultivating your Cultivation Technique and wait for the opportune moment in a hundred years to try your best to pass the examination and enter our Central Immortal Realm. Your master, although he seems to be doing very well now, is actually probably on the verge of ruin."

What's wrong with him?

Bai Qiuran hurriedly asked.

"If you offend someone, knowing that person's temper, they'll definitely find someone to deal with him."

The Immortals clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying, "This one is clearly a highly talented Immortals. He broke through to the Vast Sea Realm in just over three thousand years. It's a pity he Ascension to the Eastern Immortal Realm."

Who did he offend?

Bai Qiuran pressed on, "What did you do to offend him this time?"

"The Eastern Azure Emperor."

The Immortals looked up and glanced at Bai Qiuran.

"As for what he did... the Immortals stroked your head, tied your hair, and bestowed upon you a jade crown."

Bai Qiuran speechless.

In his memory, his master, Daoist Qingming, had always been a dignified yet kind elder, like a father. He truly never expected that after his master came to the Immortal Realm, he would experience a second spring in his life.

Moreover, the object of his second spring was none other than the Immortal Emperor's woman.

"But to be able to put a hat on the Azure Emperor is quite impressive; he truly deserves to be my master."

Bai Qiuran and said this.

"Strictly speaking, it can't really be considered wearing a hat."

The Immortals sighed, "After the Eastern Azure Emperor took control of the Eastern Immortal Realm, he had countless women in his harem. He obtained them by various means, easily numbering in the hundreds or thousands. This time, he just happened to take a liking to the woman your master had taken a liking to, pursued her, and failed. But the Eastern Azure Emperor is not one to let things go so easily. He will definitely use some underhanded methods to eliminate your master, and then it will be the scene of 'Brother, go in peace, I will take care of your wife and children, brother, do not worry'..."

"Then I have to go."

Bai Qiuran shook his head and said, "Please tell me, elder brother, where is my master right now?"

"Ah?"

The Immortals looked at Bai Qiuran.

Are you really going?

Bai Qiuran nodded with a serious expression.

"Alright then, sigh..."

The Immortals, though filled with regret, still told Bai Qiuran the location.

"Qingmingzi is currently in the Seventh Heaven of the Eastern Immortal Realm, within the Yang Heaven. You can take the Cloud Soaring Flying Boat and arrive in about a month. However, the price will definitely be a bit expensive, and since you don't have the currency of the Immortal Realm, you'll have to prepare to sell some of your Magic Treasure for money... Don't exchange them on the ship; the Immortals there are sent by merchant clans under the Azure Emperor, and they will rip you off. Exchange them all before you leave the pass."

"Thank you, brother."

Bai Qiuran bowed to the Immortals.

"Let's go."

After expressing his gratitude, he turned and called out to Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei, then led the two girls into the city gate.

"Sigh, what a pity. They were clearly three promising young people."

The Immortals watched the three figures disappear into the distance, shook his head, and then called out to the Immortals approaching on the pier, "Stop! Line up and register here in groups!"

After passing through the city gate, the three arrived at a bustling town. This town was built on a floating land amidst a sea of clouds, with even the ground shrouded in a layer of auspicious clouds. The town was bustling with people, and the crowds were mostly beings of Immortals or higher.

The town was small; Bai Qiuran and his companions could see the end of it at a glance. At the edge of the town stood two rows of elite immortal Immortal Army, clad in armor and armed with weapons. Strangely, these two rows of the Immortal Army were not standing together, but facing each other, as if they were on guard against each other.

The Immortal Army on the side closer to the town wore pure white armor, while those on the opposite side wore blue armor, and their weapons and Magical Artifact were also different.

"Those are the armies of the Eastern Immortal Realm and the Central Immortal Realm, guarding against each Book of Questions?"

Li Jinyao and her companion also saw the situation at the end of the town.

Without getting entangled with Bai Qiuran, this girl's shrewdness and insight are actually quite remarkable.

Has it gotten that serious?

Bai Qiuran sighed.

According to the system of the Immortal Realm, the management of the registration of Immortals entering the country should be the direct responsibility of the Central Immortal Realm. However, the Eastern Immortal Realm has now sent troops to guard against the troops of the Central Immortal Realm.

It is clear that the Eastern Azure Emperor is already planning to take action against the Eastern Immortal Realm's control over entry.

"Let's go find our grandmaster first."

Tang Ruowei pointed to a shop in the town and said, "I saw a shop over there that exchanges Magic Treasure and pills for gold. I'll go exchange some money there first."

The currency of the Immortal Realm is different from the Spirit Stone generally used in the Mortal World Cultivation World. It is issued by the First Immortal Emperor and is made from a type of ore that can only be produced in the Primordial Yellow Xiaomang Heaven of the Central Immortal Realm. It is a small, round coin and is the only legally valid currency in the Immortal Realm.

It has no practical function and is not even a general equivalent; it is merely a symbol of value. However, in the Immortal Realm, people use it to buy and sell goods, so they cannot do without it.

When the three arrived there, Bai Qiuran used some ores left in Li Jinyao's Storage Bag to forge two Flying Swords on the spot in a corner. Then, she went to the shop and exchanged them for a considerable amount of the Immortal Realm currency as start-up capital for the three of them.

As they left the shop, the shop owner, Houtu Realm, specifically reminded the two to prepare extra Traveling Expenses, as there were many connections to be cultivated in the Eastern Immortal Realm.

After exchanging money, the three strolled around the town for a while. Finding nothing else they needed to buy, they went to the other side of the town's exit and completed the formalities to enter the Eastern Immortal Realm.

After leaving the town and entering the other side guarded by the Azure-armored Soldiers, Bai Qiuran and the other two vaguely sensed a change in the atmosphere.

To describe this feeling specifically, it would be like "the air became scorching."

If, back in the town, within the territory governed by the Central Immortal Realm, the Immortals still retained a sliver of humanity while handling official business, then here, there's probably no official business at all; it's all about personal relationships.

From the town's exit to the Cloud Soaring Flying Boat station, less than a kilometer away, Bai Qiuran and her companions were stopped by soldiers at least three times and asked for tolls.

However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Qiuran and the other two handed over their money. After Traveling Expenses nearly half of their travel expenses, they finally boarded the Cloud Soaring Flying Boat bound for the Eastern Immortal Realm.
