Initial Arrival in the Lingxu Realm

The Gan Yang Realm, the North Sea Cultivation World.

On a Desolate Island about a hundred miles in size, covered with lush vegetation, Shen Long, Yuan Rui, and Chu Buyu stood atop a high peak.

"Senior Brother Yuan, I'm entrusting the Spirit Control Sect to you."

Shen Long spoke.

He used the Heaven Origin Sword to send Han Feng back to the Green Plum Realm, and then led a team to participate in Chu Buyu Spirit Transmutation Ceremony, giving him a bottle of Nine Flames Pill and some refining materials.

Shen Long possesses five Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure: the Azure Luan Axe, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, the Golden Sun Shield, the Profound Jade Pendant, and the Dragon-Suppressing Seal. The Heaven Origin Sword, the Azure Sun Halberd, and the Golden Flame Brick remain in the Lower Realm, while the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree and the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit Tree are also left in the Spirit Control Sect.

"Don't worry! I will take good care of Junior Nephew Su. I will consider ascending to the Lingxu Realm after our Spirit Control Sect produces a new Spirit Transformation cultivator."

Yuan Rui patted his chest and assured him.

With him there, and with the miraculous elixirs left behind by Shen Long, it's only a matter of time before the Spirit Control Sect produces a new Spirit Transformation cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please take good care of yourself. Several generations of our Sun and Moon Palace's Great Elder ascended from here, likely landing on the Ascension Platform controlled by the Human Race on the Green Lotus Continent. Their Life Soul Lamp would not extinguish for hundreds or even thousands of years."

Chu Buyu said.

The Gan Yang Realm is a subordinate interface of the Lingxu Realm. Ascending from different locations, it appears in different locations within the Lingxu Realm, which involves the issue of interface coordinates.

If one were to ascend to the Lingxu Realm and land on the territory of an alien race, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Take care, Fairy Chu. I hope we can meet in the Lingxu Realm."

His body shone brightly with spiritual light, and an astonishing spiritual pressure swept out, causing Sky-Supporting Giant Wave to suddenly rise on the once calm sea, accompanied by a fierce gale.

A ripple spread through the void, and a Five-Colored Cloud Ladder ladder appeared out of thin air high in the sky, with a large amount of five-colored spiritual light surging from the void.

Shen Long opened his Divine Sense wide but found nothing special about the Five-Colored Cloud Ladder. He had talked to Huo Tianxing about ascension.

Huo Tianxing's description matched the scene before him perfectly, so there seemed to be no problem.

Shen Long walked onto the Five-Colored Cloud Ladder Five-Colored Cloud Ladder, which suddenly rolled up and pulled him into the void, the five-colored spiritual light gradually dissipating.

A Escape Light flew in from afar, then stopped in a flash; it was none other than the Master Ice Silkworm.

"This kid has finally ascended to the Lingxu Realm."

Master Ice Silkworm sighed, his face full of satisfaction.

"Since you were here, why didn't you come out sooner? You could have seen Junior Brother Shen off."

Yuan Rui asked, puzzled.

"I don't want to be too sad. I'm still stuck at a bottleneck. If this kid knew, he would definitely be worried. I don't want him to worry too much. Being able to teach a disciple in the Spirit Transmutation Realm, I have no regrets in this life."

"Master Ice Silkworm said."

"Fellow Daoist Shen left behind some elixirs and miraculous medicines for prolonging life, Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't need to worry too much. You can overcome this bottleneck."

Chu Buyu comforted her.

Master Ice Silkworm was Shen Long's master, which is why Chu Buyu addressed him as an equal.

"Senior Chu, you're too kind. I also hope to overcome this bottleneck."

The Master Ice Silkworm's face showed anticipation.

"Let's go back! I hope everything goes well for Junior Brother Shen."

Yuan Rui said.

The three of them left and disappeared into the horizon.

······

The Lingxu Realm, the Green Lotus Continent.

The Purple Toad Mountain Range is located in the southeastern part of the Green Lotus Continent, stretching for millions of miles. This is a branch of the Nine Flames Sect.

A vast Bluestone Square leads to a Cyan Stone Platform hundreds of feet in size, surrounded by eighteen thick bluestone pillars, each inscribed with numerous mysterious runes.

A graceful Green-Robed Maiden sat cross-legged Cyan Stone Platform, engrossed in reading a thick ancient book.

The Cyan Stone Platform shook violently, and the Arcane Runes on the surface of the cyan stone pillars shone brightly.

The Green-Robed Maiden quickly put away the ancient book, took out a Dharma Disk that shimmered with green light, and cast a spell on it.

The eighteen cyan stone pillars each emitted a beam of cyan light, which converged at one point, transforming into a thick Cyan Light Screen that enveloped the Cyan Stone Platform.

A blinding beam of light shot into the sky from the Cyan Stone Platform. When the light dissipated, Shen Long's figure was revealed.

"This is a branch of the Nine Flames Sect Branch. I am Su Qianqian. May I ask your name and which realm you are from?"

The Green-Robed Maiden spoke politely, her expression excited.

A cultivator ascended from the Lower Realm to the Lingxu Realm; this was thanks to her.

Shen Long spoke at length, gesturing wildly, seemingly unable to understand the Green-Robed Maiden.

He had already learned the language and writing of the Lingxu Realm, but pretended not to understand it. He also didn't know where he was. What if he had landed on Ascension Platform controlled by a force that had a grudge against the Big Dipper Pavilion? It wouldn't hurt to be careful.

Su Qianqian flicked her sleeve, and a shimmering orb shot out, flying towards Shen Long.

She gestured for Shen Long to probe into her Divine Sense.

Shen Long attempted to probe his Divine Sense, and after a while, he spoke, "My Shen Hao. May I ask, Fairy, where is this place?"

"This is the Purple Toad Mountain Range of the Green Lotus Continent, the territory of our Nine Flames Sect. Fellow Daoist Shen, which realm do you come from?"

Su Qianqian asked politely.

"Nine Flames Sect! I come from the Gan Yang Realm."

Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief. According to Bian Xiao's information, the Nine Flames Sect was indeed Human Race sect on the Green Lotus Continent. It seemed that he had fallen into the territory of Human Race sect.

"The Gan Yang Realm? The last cultivator who ascended from the Gan Yang Realm and landed on this Ascension Platform was Uncle-Master Du!"

Su Qianqian asked in surprise.

"Fairy Su, could you tell me about the situation on the Green Lotus Continent?"

Shen Long said politely.

Su Qianqian nodded and gave a brief introduction to the situation of the Green Lotus Continent.

The Green Lotus Continent is home to many races, with the Human Race being one of the Seven Great Races, and a Mahayana cultivator presiding over it.

"Fairy Su, True Monarch Thousand Woods also ascend from the Lower Realm?"

Shen Long asked casually.

Su Qianqian mentioned several cultivators who ascended from the Lower Realm, among whom True Monarch Thousand Woods was one.

"Yes! He also landed on our Nine Flames Sect Nine Flames Sect's Ascension Platform, but didn't join us and became a Rogue Cultivator. It's good to be under a big tree. Fellow Daoist Shen can consider joining our Nine Flames Sect, or he can choose to remain a free agent. Our Nine Flames Sect has a deep foundation and allies like the Li Family and the Thousand Spirits Sect. We are very powerful."

Su Qianqian offered some advice.

"Is the Thousand Spirits Sect an ally of your Nine Flames Sect? May I ask who founded the Thousand Spirits Sect?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"True Monarch Spirit Control, I heard he ascended from the Lower Realm. Why are you asking about this?"

Su Qianqian asked in confusion.

"True Monarch Spirit Control? You're not mistaken?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

The True Monarch Spirit Control is the Grandmaster of the Spirit Control Sect. Could there be two True Monarch Spirit Control in the Lower Realm?

"That's right! This isn't a secret. Wait, you wouldn't happen to be a grand-disciple of True Monarch Spirit Control, would you? A senior from the Thousand Spirits Sect is currently visiting a branch."

Su Qianqian asked in surprise.

"I come from the Yu Ling Spirit Control Sect the Gan Yang Realm. Our Grandmaster was the True Monarch Spirit Control. I just don't know if the True Monarch Spirit Control you speak of is the same person as our Grandmaster."

Shen Long asked.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait a moment, I will report immediately."

Su Qianqian took out Red-Glowing Dharma Disk and gestured with it for a while.
