True Immortals Are Ordinary People? Their Worldviews Shattered
Li Gong stopped and glanced at the other four people, then transmitted his Divine Sense: "These True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal may not be doing this out of hobby; perhaps they are forced by circumstances."
"Ah?"
Lin Lie, Zhou Yuxi, and the other three were completely bewildered, not understanding why their captain would say such a thing.
Lin Lie was the first to Divine Sense to ask, "Captain, you're not joking, are you?"
How could True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal, with their immense cultivation, be forced by the necessities of life?
Even if you're down on your luck, you shouldn't have to set up a stall or do odd jobs.
"That's right. Even in the Great Chiliocosm, True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal are not considered top-tier powerhouses, and they certainly wouldn't be reduced to the point of being forced by life's hardships."
"They're not A Mortal; they'd be perfectly fine even if they didn't eat or drink," Zhou Yuxi chimed in.
Li Gong glanced at the crowd indifferently and calmly said, "You should have noticed it too; nine out of ten pedestrians on the street are True Immortal."
This suggests that in the Azure Billows Realm, True Immortal might just be ordinary cultivators, and even Heavenly Immortal aren't considered rare.
Have you noticed that the cultivators in the city, regardless of their cultivation level, get along very well with each other, completely disregarding the strict hierarchy of cultivation realms?
The four were taken aback again upon hearing this. Recalling what they had seen along the way after entering the city, the facts were indeed as Li Gong had said.
High-level cultivators do not have the arrogance of those above them, and low-level cultivators do not feel the fear and unease that comes with facing the strong.
Lin Lie said in a deep voice, "Captain, the atmosphere here is indeed too harmonious, so harmonious that it feels eerie, completely breaking the ironclad rule of the cultivation world that strength is paramount."
Li Gong's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke, "I suspect that there is some mysterious force that binds all the cultivators here, allowing them to live in harmony."
I have an even bolder theory in my mind—this Li Household Village might really be a village.
The people in the city were just ordinary cultivators from the Azure Billows Realm.
This is why this place doesn't look like a cultivation city, but rather like an ordinary city.
If this were merely an ordinary village in the Azure Billows Realm, then the vibrant atmosphere of daily life and the harmonious coexistence of cultivators of different realms would all make perfect sense.
After hearing this speculation, the other four were filled with disbelief and quickly used their Divine Sense to transmit their thoughts to each other.
"How is this possible? If this is really just an ordinary village, then the overall strength of the Azure Billows Realm is simply too terrifying."
"My God, could this really be a village?"
If this is true, the power of the Azure Billows Realm is too great. Can we still complete the mission?
"Could it be that all the Human Race villages in the Azure Billows Realm are like Li Household Village?"
That's absolutely outrageous.
I'm more inclined to believe that some mysterious force is binding everyone.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the crowd, Li Gong remained calm and spoke indifferently:
"Whether it is true or not, we will know by continuing to observe."
Let's go to the restaurant ahead for a meal and gather some information while we're there.
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the restaurant.
The five people entered the restaurant and, instead of booking a private room, chose a seat in the main hall.
After ordering their food and drinks, the group discreetly observed the conversations among the diners in the main hall.
Before long, the conversation at the next table caught their attention.
Upon hearing the news of the Devil Race invasion, everyone's eyes lit up. They were searching everywhere for traces of the Devil Race, and unexpectedly found a clue here. They immediately focused their attention and eavesdropped.
"Old Li, the Devil Race invasion has been going on for over twenty years, and the Extraterrestrial Battlefield are raging. Now that you're Heavenly Immortal, do you have any intention of joining the war?"
"Of course I want to go! But these days there are far more monks than porridge; everyone wants to rush to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield to kill Devil Race and earn Merit Points."
Even if I had registered long ago, I wouldn't have gotten a chance; all the spots were already filled.
"Spots are indeed hard to come by. The number of teams has now expanded to twenty, and the number will continue to increase in the future."
But the number of Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal is also increasing. Even we have cultivated to this level, let alone those who have entered the Land of Exile to cultivate.
"I've already signed up for the reserve force. I can only wait until the Twenty-First Battle Team gathers 10,000 Immortal King before I might have a chance to be selected."
"The chances of joining the Twenty-First Battle Team are slim, even though each team has 20 billion Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal slots."
However, there are countless people ahead of them in line, and the spots are given priority to those who registered earlier.
If you want to join the war, you can only wait for more Immortal King to be born and for new teams to be formed.
"Sigh, these days you have to queue up just to go into battle, it's so difficult. Seeing those system hosts accumulating massive amounts of Merit Points, I feel an indescribable envy."
There's nothing we can do about it.
In our Azure Billows Realm, Celestial Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal are practically everywhere. Take our Li Household Village for example, if you just throw a brick at random, there's a very high chance you'll hit Heavenly Immortal or True Immortal."
"After the Spiritual Qi Revival, the cultivation environment of heaven and earth has greatly improved, and the Energy Points produced by the Fairness System every day have also skyrocketed, with more and more people breaking through to the True Immortal Realm."
Of the more than one million people in our Li Household Village, a full 70% have already reached the True Immortal cultivation level. The rest, below the True Immortal, are mostly young descendants. In a little while, it won't be a problem for them all to become immortals."
"The world changes so fast. Our Li Household Village was originally just a A Mortal village of a few thousand people, but now the population has exceeded one million, an increase of nearly a thousand times."
Nowadays, it's common to see families with ten or even twenty generations living together in the village; things are truly different now."
"This is inevitable. Now that everyone is bound to the Fairness System, everyone can cultivate, have a long lifespan, and have offspring generation after generation, so the population will naturally explode."
Fortunately, after the Spiritual Qi Revival, the territory of the Azure Billows Realm expanded by more than a million times, and it continues to expand.
"The population of our Li Household Village is but a drop in the ocean compared to the vast Azure Billows Realm."
"That's right, times are changing too fast. Thinking back to when we were just A Mortal, we couldn't even guarantee we'd have enough to eat."
Now he has already attained immortality and even has the potential to reach the Immortal King Realm in the future.
"Hehe, that's true! In the past, we were just ordinary people toiling in the soil, but now we have Longevity and enjoy rare and precious fruits every day."
With the support of Fairness System, our chances of breaking through to the Immortal King are absolutely excellent!
Li Gong, Lin Lie, Zhou Yuxi and the others looked at each other, their minds reeling.
The words they had just heard were like a fairy tale, completely overturning their understanding and shattering their worldview.
They almost instinctively assumed the other person was lying.
But then I thought, the other person was just chatting casually, so there was no need for them to lie.
More importantly, the restaurant lobby was full of guests, and everyone who heard the conversation remained calm and unsurprised, as if they had just heard the most common sense.
This means that these horrifying facts are already common knowledge in the Azure Billows Realm.
Lin Lie suppressed the shock in his heart, secretly transmitted his thoughts through Divine Sense, his tone full of surprise and uncertainty:
"Is what they're saying true? It all sounds so unbelievable, like a fairy tale. I can't believe it."
"That's right, it's absolutely unbelievable."
"If all of this is true, the strength and terrifying nature of the Azure Billows Realm far exceeds our imagination." Zhou Yuxi echoed in a deep voice, her heart filled with shock.
