Transmission Hall! Gu Yuena Descends Upon the Immortal Realm!

For a moment, a sense of disparity spread through Tang San's heart.

For the first time, he felt that everything he had once been proud of amounted to nothing before this world.

Half an hour later.

Meng Yiran, now dressed in the moon-white inner disciple robes of the Covering Moon Sect, returned to the main hall.

Having shed her original combat outfit, she now possessed an ethereal, otherworldly air.

Paired with her neat short hair, she looked especially valiant and dashing.

Fairy Nishang looked her over from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. A disciple of my Covering Moon Sect should carry herself like this."

"Your physique has already been cleansed by the spirit tea, and your magic artifact has been reforged."

"Now, all you lack is a proper cultivation technique."

With that, Fairy Nishang rose to her feet and lightly flicked the wide sleeve of her palace robe.

A mass of five-colored radiant light enveloped Meng Yiran.

The next moment, the two vanished directly from the main hall, appearing out of thin air atop another heavily guarded floating mountain.

There were no magnificent palace complexes on this mountain.

Only an enormous ancient tower, hundreds of zhang tall, stood silently at its peak.

Three large characters were written upon the plaque above the ancient tower's entrance in vigorous, ancient script:

Transmission Hall.

Two enormous stone lions crouched on either side of the ancient tower's gates.

The moment Fairy Nishang landed, the eyes of the two previously lifeless stone lions suddenly lit up with red light.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying pressure radiated from the two stone statues.

"Disciple Nishang has brought a newly inducted personal disciple to select a cultivation technique."

Fairy Nishang took out a token and gave it a shake.

After the two stone lions confirmed the token's aura, the red light faded, and they returned to their dead, statue-like stillness.

Meng Yiran swallowed and followed behind her master into the ancient tower.

The pressure from those two stone statues had been even more terrifying than her grandfather, the Dragon Duke.

Using monsters like those to guard the door?

What kind of immortal sect was this?!

However, the instant Meng Yiran stepped into the first floor of the Transmission Hall, she finally understood what the foundation of an immortal cultivation sect truly meant.

The space inside the tower was unimaginably vast. Some sort of spatial-folding formation had clearly been placed here.

Looking around, she saw tens of thousands of jade slips floating in midair, each giving off light of a different color.

They were like stars in a summer night sky—densely packed, stretching beyond sight.

"Th-these are all cultivation techniques?"

Meng Yiran raised her head, completely dumbfounded.

As Fairy Nishang walked farther inside, she casually explained.

"This is only the first floor of the Transmission Hall. It stores merely basic cultivation techniques and low-tier spells."

"There are over thirty thousand cultivation arts, along with records of more than eighty thousand spells of all kinds."

Upon hearing that casually stated number, all of Douluo Continent instantly lost its composure.

Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy.

Every force on Douluo Continent froze in place at that moment.

More than thirty thousand cultivation techniques!

More than eighty thousand spells!

As the largest force on Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall's library contained only a few dozen high-level meditation methods in total.

The gap between them could no longer be described as the difference between heaven and earth.

It was simply the difference between the universe and a speck of dust.

By then, Fairy Nishang had already brought Meng Yiran to the top floor of the Transmission Hall.

The space here was much smaller. Only a dozen or so jade slips floated slowly in midair, each radiating an ancient and profound aura.

Fairy Nishang's gaze swept across the jade slips before finally stopping on one that emitted a dim green glow.

With a beckoning gesture, she summoned the jade slip, and it landed steadily in her palm.

"Your constitution is special. You were born with poison."

"This Myriad Poison Primordial Unity Art could not suit you better."

Fairy Nishang looked at the jade slip in her hand and continued her instruction.

"Yiran, remember this."

"This Myriad Poison Primordial Unity Art is a supreme cultivation art that leads directly to the Great Dao."

"If you cultivate it to the minor mastery stage, even a casual breath of yours can turn into poisonous miasma filling the sky, leaving not a blade of grass alive within a hundred miles."

"If you cultivate it to major mastery, you can fuse all the poisons of heaven and earth into one furnace and condense a Myriad Poison Primordial Unity Pill."

"At that point, a single drop of your blood could easily poison a fifth-rank demonic beast to death, and could even turn a thousand-mile stretch of sea into a dead sea."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran's little mouth fell open, and she was unable to recover for a long while.

One breath could leave nothing growing within a hundred miles?

A drop of blood could poison an entire thousand-mile sea?

This had completely surpassed the realm of cultivation. This was plainly a natural disaster!

Meanwhile, on Douluo Continent.

Deep within the Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo stood beside his own Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, looking as though he had lost his soul.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison he had always taken pride in could at most poison all living things in an entire city.

And even that required a massive expenditure of soul power to activate.

Yet the cultivation art in the light screen could achieve such an effect with a single breath at the minor mastery stage.

After reaching major mastery, a single drop of blood could poison a thousand-mile sea to death!

"Compared to this Myriad Poison Primordial Unity Art, the poison I have played with all my life is practically children playing house."

Dugu Bo gave a bitter laugh and could not help shaking his head.

Within Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong also fell into a prolonged silence.

She likewise possessed the highly poisonous Death Spider Emperor martial soul.

But before an immortal cultivation art capable of fusing all poisons into one furnace, the soul skills she had always been proud of seemed far too shallow.

"If I could obtain this cultivation art..."

Bibi Dong clenched her jade-like hand, an unmistakable trace of longing flashing through her eyes.

In the scene, Fairy Nishang had already handed the jade slip to Meng Yiran.

"Place the jade slip against your forehead and sense it with your divine consciousness. The contents of the cultivation art will naturally be imprinted in your mind."

After Meng Yiran did as instructed, she felt a vast stream of information flood into her mind, instantly etching this profound cultivation art firmly into her memory.

Next, Fairy Nishang swept her sleeve.

The two women turned into streaks of light once more and arrived at a secluded spot halfway up Emerald Mist Peak.

There was a cave dwelling carved into the cliff face.

A pale blue barrier enveloped the outside of the cave dwelling, while several ancient trees emitting a faint fragrance grew nearby.

"This will be your cave dwelling for cultivation from now on."

Fairy Nishang took out a jade token and handed it to Meng Yiran.

"With this restriction token, you may enter and leave freely."

Meng Yiran accepted the token and gave it a light shake. The pale blue barrier split open, revealing an entrance.

The two entered the cave dwelling.

The interior was extremely spacious, furnished with living quarters and a quiet chamber specially meant for meditation, an alchemy room, and even a small spirit herb garden.

What astonished Meng Yiran most was the stone platform at the center of the quiet chamber.

Dense array markings covered the area around it, continuously radiating rich spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

"A mid-grade Spirit Gathering Array has been set up in this quiet chamber."

Fairy Nishang pointed at the stone platform.

"Moreover, beneath the platform lies a branch spirit spring connected to Emerald Mist Peak."

"Cultivating here for one day will allow you to absorb as much spiritual qi as months of arduous cultivation outside."

"When you have nothing to do, remain in the cave dwelling and cultivate in seclusion peacefully."

"The sect will also distribute stipends and pills every month without fail—enough to support your cultivation until the Foundation Establishment stage."

After hearing her master's introduction, Meng Yiran bowed deeply as well.

"Thank you, Master, for nurturing me. This disciple will certainly live up to everyone's expectations."

Upon seeing such a luxurious cultivation environment, the viewers of the Douluo Continent once again sank into profound envy.

Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai stared at the Spirit Gathering Array, his eyes practically turning red.

"One day of cultivation is worth several months in the outside world?"

"No wonder the cultivators of that world are so terrifyingly powerful."

"Forget those heaven-defying cultivation techniques—even their cultivation environment is this superior. How are we supposed to catch up?"

Tang San silently clenched his fists as well.

He had originally thought that, with the Mysterious Heaven Technique, his cultivation speed was already fast enough.

But before a Spirit Gathering Array capable of multiplying cultivation speed, the pace he had once taken pride in was simply not worth mentioning.

Just as everyone in Douluo was burning with envy and jealousy.

The light screen that had been showing Meng Yiran's cave abode suddenly flickered slightly.

Immediately afterward, that cold and majestic voice rang out in everyone's minds once more.

[Detected that explorer Meng Yiran has successfully joined a sect, obtained a high-tier cultivation technique, and smoothly embarked upon the path of mortal cultivation.]

[In light of this performance, the Heavenly Screen's rules have triggered a special reward.]

[One additional designated descent slot will be granted!]

[The destination plane for this slot will be selected at random.]

As soon as those announcements rang out, the entire Douluo Continent instantly erupted.

"An additional slot!"

"Does that mean that, aside from the people chosen before, one more person can go to the cultivation world?"

Inside Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong abruptly rose to her feet.

If someone could be selected to enter such a top-tier great sect, the benefits they could bring back would be simply immeasurable.

Just as everyone secretly prayed to be chosen.

A massive roulette wheel appeared on the Heavenly Screen.

The wheel was divided into three regions, labeled respectively: Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Immortal Realm.

A golden pointer began spinning rapidly across the wheel.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

As the pointer gradually slowed.

It swept past the region representing the Mortal Realm.

Then it slowly passed beyond the Spirit Realm.

Finally, beneath the gaze of countless eyes across the continent.

The golden pointer came to a steady stop on the final region.

[Descent plane confirmed: Immortal Realm!]

BZZZZ!

The moment those two words appeared, every living being on the Douluo Continent felt a thunderous boom explode inside their heads.

The Immortal Realm!

The supreme plane that even great experts of the Deity Transformation stage could only look up to in legend!

Someone was actually going to descend directly into the Immortal Realm?

Immediately afterward, the image on the Heavenly Screen underwent an earth-shaking transformation.

The mountains and rivers of the Mortal Realm vanished in an instant.

In their place appeared a vast, boundless cosmic starry sky.

The image sped through the stars.

The people of Douluo saw immortal sects so enormous they could not be described in words.

Some sects used the countless stars as islands and the Milky Way as their sect-protecting formation.

Others sprawled across colossal divine trees tens of thousands of times larger than the Douluo Continent.

The immortal birds and auspicious beasts that occasionally flew across the starry sky exuded merely a trace of their aura, yet it was enough to make the Douluo powerhouses watching through the light screen feel their legs go weak.

"Th-this... is the Immortal Realm?"

On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi's hand clutching her staff had completely lost its strength.

She had originally thought the mortal realm and spirit realm were already the limit.

Yet after catching this fleeting glimpse of the Immortal Realm, she realized she was so insignificant that she was not even worth a speck of dust.

The images continued to shift.

At last, amid countless immortal mountains and jade pavilions, the view slowly settled before a majestic sacred land shrouded in billions of rays of immortal light.

The gates of this sacred land were formed by two divine pillars coiled with dragons that reached straight into the heavens.

Upon the plaque, three Immortal Realm characters that danced like dragons and phoenixes, containing the supreme Great Dao, shone with dazzling brilliance.

Though the people of Douluo did not recognize this script, the heavenly screen thoughtfully provided a translation.

[Jade Green Immortal Sect!]

However, before everyone could recover from the shock of the immortal sect.

The grand voice from the heavenly screen rang out once more.

[The descender to the Immortal Realm has been selected.]

[Star Dou Forest, Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!]

The moment this name appeared, the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent were left utterly bewildered.

"Silver Dragon King?"

"Who is Gu Yuena? How come we've never heard of anyone like her in the Star Dou Forest?"

Inside Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong frowned deeply as well.

She only knew that the Star Dou Forest had the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Where had this Silver Dragon King come from?

Yet beneath the Lake of Life in the deepest part of the Star Dou Forest.

Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, who had been sleeping with their eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes the instant they heard that name.

Their enormous bodies trembled violently beneath the lake.

Elsewhere, in the Douluo God Realm.

Within the main hall of the Divine Realm Committee.

The five God Kings, who had still been feigning calm, underwent a drastic change in expression.

The Shura God abruptly rose to his feet, a flicker of panic flashing through his eyes.

"The Silver Dragon King?"

"That remnant who escaped after the Dragon God split apart all those years ago was actually hiding in the Star Dou Forest?"

"And she was chosen by the heavenly screen to go to that Immortal Realm?"

After saying this, the Shura God abruptly stood up, the dark crimson divine power of slaughter around him churning violently beyond his control.

"Silver Dragon King..."

He muttered the name under his breath, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

"During the Dragon God War, the Dragon God was cleaved in two, and we sealed the Golden Dragon King beneath the Divine Realm Committee."

"But the Silver Dragon King stirred up a spatial-temporal torrent and fled to the lower realm amid the chaos."

"Over the years, we searched countless planes and never found any trace of her."

"Who would have thought that she had been hiding in the Star Dou Forest on the Douluo Continent all along!"

Once the Shura God finished speaking, the expressions of the other God Kings present changed drastically as well.

They still vividly remembered that brutal war.

The Dragon God had nearly overturned the entire Divine Realm by himself.

Had the God Kings not joined forces, along with the suppression of the Divine Realm's origin, the Divine Realm would probably have long since become the domain of soul beasts.

And as one of the Dragon God's incarnations, the Silver Dragon King had inherited the Dragon God's control over all elements.

Though she had been severely wounded back then, given enough time, no one could guarantee that she would not recover to her peak.

The Sea God's palm, wrapped around his golden trident, began to sweat slightly.

He turned toward the Shura God, his voice thick with concern.

"If she were merely sleeping on the Douluo Continent, that would be one thing. At worst, we could descend divine punishment right now and completely erase her from the Star Dou Forest."

"But you all saw it just now!"

The Sea God raised a finger and pointed toward the lingering image of the Immortal Realm's starry sky overhead.

"The heavenly screen chose her!"

"And she was sent directly to that so-called Immortal Realm, to the Evergreen Immortal Sect!"

At this point, the Sea God's voice rose unconsciously.

"Think about Meng Yiran from the Covering Moon Sect."

"She was originally nothing more than a mortal ant who couldn't even enter the God Realm, yet because some Golden Core-stage immortal maiden took a liking to her—"

"Not only was her deadly poison cured instantly, but her martial soul was reconstructed, and she was even granted a cultivation method that pointed directly toward the Great Dao."

The Sea God took a deep breath, as though he had thought of something utterly terrifying.

"The Silver Dragon King's talent and bloodline are among the very best here."

"If she reaches the Immortal Realm and catches the eye of those old monsters whose strength far surpasses ours, perhaps even becoming one of their disciples—"

"If they casually give her a few immortal pills, or one of those supreme cultivation methods we saw in the Transmission Hall..."

The Sea God did not continue, but every God King present understood what he meant.

If the Silver Dragon King obtained a fortuitous opportunity in the Immortal Realm—

Then, according to the rules of the heavenly curtain, if she returned to Douluo Continent a year later, or even later still, carrying a body full of Immortal Realm cultivation—

It would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster for the God Realm!
