The Immortal Realm is Mine, and Also Everyone's!

Shentu Lie and Qin Jian stopped outside the Boundless Immortal Palace, watching Shen Baixiu enter the palace with envy.

Qin Jian was visibly excited; he knew he had made the right bet this time.

Otherwise, let's all ascend to the celestial realm together...

The others have already been assigned to mining, but they're still waiting here; they must have other tasks for them.

Perhaps once the new Immortal Court is established, he might even be able to become an Immortal Official.

Having witnessed the splendor of the Boundless Immortal Realm, Qin Jian was filled with anticipation for this place.

Qin Jian thought for a moment, then suddenly moved closer to Shentu Lie and whispered, "Immortal Lord Shen Tu, what reward do you think the Realm Lord will bestow upon us?"

"Also, now that we have become immortals, I wonder if we can still leave the immortal realm?"

Fearing the other party might misunderstand, Qin Jian quickly added, "I mean, what if there are other Great Emperors who don't want to ascend, and we're already in the Immortal Realm? What should we do then?"

This was certainly not what he truly felt.

Qin Jian was now eager to take revenge on the Xiao Family and the Myriad Immortal Sect, among other forces.

And there's also the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

He thought fiercely to himself that if it weren't for the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

"Oh right, and that female demon Han Xingmian..."

Qin Jian sneered inwardly, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't forget the grudge of being toyed with by Han Xingmian that day.

In his view, they had already become immortals.

Of course, he'd settle scores and avenge his grievances; who could stop him?

Shentu Lie frowned slightly in displeasure upon hearing this, though he actually shared the same thought.

Now that they've become immortals, when they return to the mortal realm, won't it be a matter of who gets in their way and who gets killed?

He also longed to go back and save his junior sister Ya Rou...

I have no idea what it looks like now!

"Calm down. We've only just ascended, and you're already asking for rewards? What kind of behavior is this?"

Shentu Lie knew more information than him, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's wait and see. There will always be a time when we need to step in."

Shen Baixiu entered the Boundless Immortal Palace.

He gazed at the magnificent palace, a look of awe creeping onto his face.

"This palace is more than just a palace..."

"It is a tremendous magical artifact; every brick and tile, every massive pillar, is crafted from the finest celestial metal."

"The palace is covered with inscriptions, Dao principles, and array diagrams... thousands upon thousands of them. It's unimaginable how powerful this Boundless Immortal Palace would be once activated!"

Shen Baixiu was utterly shocked as he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more astonished he became.

This celestial palace is definitely a top-tier celestial artifact.

He was also the ruler of an Immortal Mansion, and knew how much resources and manpower were needed to refine such a massive celestial artifact, palace, or magical treasure.

Even if both are present, it would still require a cultivator skilled in weapon crafting and countless years to complete.

Shen Baixiu did some calculations in his mind and realized that even if he exhausted all the resources of the Six Great Super Immortal Mansions, it would be difficult to achieve this.

This is just one celestial palace; how many more hidden magical treasures exist in the entire Boundless Immortal Realm?

But!

The stronger the Boundless Immortal Realm became, the happier Shen Baixiu was. Didn't this just prove that their ship was powerful enough?

Guided by the palace maids, the two walked one after the other through a series of long corridors and arched bridges.

The scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.

Shen Baixiu arrived at a grand hall, where thick white mist swirled around it.

A chilling, sinister aura swept over us.

The entire hall was crafted from a special material that nourishes the soul.

In various Immortal Mansion, there are also similar materials, mostly used by cultivators who have lost their physical bodies and only have their souls left, and they need to hide in such places.

The celestial palace maid stopped and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, the Realm Lord is waiting for you inside."

Shen Baixiu didn't have time to think and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Call--"

He took a deep breath to calm his excitement; he had only ever communicated with the realm lord through divine thought.

This is also the first time I've seen the real person.

Shen Baixiu was still filled with fear towards this unfathomable realm lord.

Especially now, after witnessing the power of this celestial palace.

However, the scene inside was completely different from what he had imagined...

In the hall shrouded in white mist, a handsome young man with a face like jade sat upright in a chair.

He looks very young, a teenager.

When the young man saw Shen Baixiu enter, he looked up, then actually got up and walked over, smiling, "You're Shen Baixiu?"

He even patted Shen Baixiu on the shoulder affectionately.

This shocked Shen Baixiu and made him somewhat incredulous. The person in front of him was completely different from the lofty and aloof world lord he had imagined.

Not only did he lack any aloofness, but he also gave people an incredibly warm feeling.

Shen Baixiu stammered, "You are... the Realm Lord?"

The boy's voice was clear and bright. He laughed heartily, gestured for Shen Baixiu to sit down, and then said, "Don't be so formal. You've been traveling all over the lower realm; it must have been hard work. Come, have a cup of tea."

As the young man spoke, he personally poured Shen Baixiu a cup of tea.

This excessive enthusiasm made Shen Baixiu restless. If it weren't for the certainty of the Immortal Realm, no one would dare to impersonate the Realm Lord.

He was starting to suspect that the person in front of him was an imposter.

Shen Baixiu snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "It's no trouble at all; it's all for the sake of the Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, the young man sighed and said, "Yes, the Immortal Court is too oppressive. All cultivators in the world are treated like leeks, to be slaughtered at will!"

"For the sake of all living beings, we must stand up!"

As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears, glistening at the corners of his eyes.

The boy continued, "Every time I think about this, my heart aches terribly."

Shen Baixiu: "This..."

He was completely bewildered, looking at the boy in front of him, whose sincerity seemed genuine.

Are we really good people?

Shen Baixiu fell into self-doubt, and a somewhat absurd idea popped into his mind.

If he hadn't just sent a large group of immortals to mine, he almost would have believed it.

At this moment, the boy raised his head, wiped away his tears, and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, I just couldn't help it."

He paused, then asked, "Tell me, how are the cultivators in the lower realms doing these days? Are they alright?"

Shen Baixiu pondered for a moment, then honestly said:

"The unification of the Three Realms is imminent, and the Immortal Court has accelerated its harvesting pace. Fortunately, we thwarted the Immortal Court's conspiracy, and now no cultivator is willing to ascend to the Immortal Court."

Shen Baixiu thought for a moment, then continued, "But there are still many Great Emperors who haven't ascended. They're worried... that we might have a trap here too?"

He said the last sentence tentatively.

Upon hearing this, the young man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Everything we do is for the sake of all living beings; how could it be a trap?"

"I'll need your help with this matter!"

"Don't let those great emperors suffer in the mortal realm. They must all ascend to heaven, understand? The celestial realm belongs to me, but also to everyone. Not a single one should be left behind!"

Shen Baixiu's expression was solemn as he assured, "Rest assured, Realm Lord, I will do my utmost and ensure that not a single one is missing."

The young man nodded in satisfaction and added, "Don't forget, our goal is to create a new Immortal Court, a world of immortals free from deceit and treachery, a world filled with peace and love."

Shen Baixiu: "... I understand."

At this moment, a palace maid who had been waiting outside the main hall suddenly entered, holding a small bead in her hand.

The maidservant whispered to the young man, "Lord of the Realm, the elixir has arrived. It's freshly made. Eat it quickly."
