Emperor Nether True Immortal, the Ascension Platform!
"I am Qin Lu, Emperor Nether Immortal!"
"Fellow Daoist Dao of Clouds, you're too kind!"
Qin Lu followed suit, introducing himself with a hint of goodwill, while Long Yuntian nodded slightly...
He then gestured for Qin Lu Qin Lu to leave, and began to chat with him as he led him outside:
"Emperor Nether Di You, you are truly a prodigy."
"Having observed your five vital energies, I never imagined that you, at less than three thousand years old, had already achieved immortality through the method of Creation the world..."
"At this age, such courage is rare, even in the Primordial Land and the vast starry seas."
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly a great talent!"
"Putting everything else aside, the fact that you, fellow Daoist, Creation at such a young age is already extraordinary. The resources required for that..."
"It's almost on par with slaughtering an entire realm; to Creation a world and ascend to immortality, the difficulty is no ordinary person."
As he spoke--
Long Yuntian glanced at Qin Lu, and from the bewildered look on his face, he guessed what Qin Lu was thinking. He then explained to him:
"It seems you, fellow Daoist, only have a superficial understanding of this Primordial Land. Let me, Emperor Nether, explain it to you properly..."
Let's start by talking about fellow Daoists.
"The reason you were moved here is due to a rule set by Lord Kongyan, one of the three main gods of my Divine Court and the God of Kong Yan and Spacetime."
"This rule applies to all things; all those who attain immortality will be randomly transported to a territory controlled by my Divine Court..."
"This is done in order to maintain the normal functioning of the world."
"The Divine Court doesn't mandate anything; it simply follows tradition by explaining the rules of the Primordial Land to newly promoted True Immortal..."
"The power of immortals is far too great."
"Without rules, the world, even the stars, would be in complete chaos. In order to maintain order and balance..."
"That's why this scene has occurred, so please forgive me, fellow Daoist."
This is one.
"Secondly, you need to establish Ascension Platform. Once the Ascension Platform is established, the world you control will be connected to the Primordial Land."
"At that time, Spirit Transformation cultivators in your world will be able to choose to ascend to the upper realm and obtain resources from the Primordial Land..."
"Furthermore, the pressure to become an immortal will be much less, and you will no longer need to separate your own world's origin, thereby weakening your cultivation."
"This is tantamount to my Divine Court supporting all the races of the heavens."
Upon hearing this—
Qin Lu raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. If it really was as good as the Divine Court described...
Why don't all the myriad races of the heavens take root in the Primordial Land? Instead, some major races take root in the star sea, only having a few territories in the Primordial Land as a facade.
From the memories of the Cold Beast Clan.
Qin Lu witnessed many Cold Beast Spirit Transformation, but they preferred to die of old age in the Cold Realm rather than ascend to the Upper Realm...
Although the specific reason was unclear, Qin Lu knew it was definitely not a good thing.
This is a mixed blessing, and we'll have to continue observing to see what the Divine Court is really up to with this move.
At this moment, Long Yuntian continued, "Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. This Ascension Platform only has the ability to teleport Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators to the Primordial Land."
"It does not possess the ability to reverse-locate the location of your world, and it is only useful for those at the Spirit Transformation Realm and above. Those below the Spirit Transformation cannot activate this array."
"Therefore, fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry. The Divine Court will not investigate the origins of your world, which is hidden in that corner of the starry sea..."
Having finished recounting the matter of ascension...
Long Yuntian then began to explain the scope of these heavenly powers:
"This Primordial Land is the origin of all things, and we also call it the Primordial Continent. The continent is divided into seventy-two Immortal Realms and nine Divine Realms, totaling eighty-one realms."
"Thirty-three of these are Immortal Realms under the control of my Divine Court, along with three Divine Realms, totaling thirty-six realms, occupying nearly half of the continent's territory."
"Apart from the three major divine domains, the remaining thirty-three domains are all governed by the Divine Court and numerous Dao Ancestor allies, and the place we are in..."
"This is the Cloud Sea Immortal Domain, the territory of the Dao Ancestor of Clouds: Lord Flowing Cloud."
"The other half of the continent is occupied by the myriad races of the heavens and several other major powers, and is also divided into four seas: east, south, west, and north."
"The four seas are controlled by some powerful races among the heavens, some are allies of my Divine Court, and some are occupied by idle races."
"This is roughly what the Primordial Land was like."
"Each immortal realm is virtually boundless in size. Without the aid of the Great Dao to teleport, even at the speed of True Immortal like ourselves..."
"It's unknown how long it would take to traverse a single realm, and between each immortal realm lies a vast expanse of untamed Savage Wilderness."
"These places are dangerous, containing many beings that could threaten even Dao Ancestor. Ordinary True Immortal should not rashly enter..."
"If you're not careful, you could even perish there."
"Those Savage Wilderness lands are not good places. Although they hold countless fortuitous opportunity, the risks are equally enormous. If you ever go there to seek fortuitous opportunity in the future, you must be extremely careful."
Having said that--
Long Yuntian then led Qin Lu to a massive bronze cauldron, a symbol of the Divine Court and the newly ascended Purple Void True Immortal...
One must leave behind a trace of one's presence as proof of arriving in the Immortal Realm.
At the same time, this aura will also be imprinted in the Divine Court. If Qin Lu does not abide by the rules in the future, or if any special circumstances occur...
This aura will soon allow the Divine Court to quickly pinpoint Qin Lu's location.
This can be seen as a form of restraint imposed by the Divine Court on the True Immortal, to prevent them from acting arbitrarily. Just as putting a rein on a wild horse is necessary to maintain order.
Qin Lu didn't have any objections to this.
As per the rules, a wisp of energy was left behind, but Qin Lu was also cautious. After the energy merged into the bronze cauldron...
That aura seemed to gain sentience and began to self-destruct.
However, no one noticed this subtle action. Long Yuntian watched from the side, but he was completely blind and couldn't see what Qin Lu had done.
Once the process is complete, the relevant rules will have been explained.
all in all--
Once one becomes an immortal, one possesses extremely high autonomy. As long as one does not act recklessly, no one can restrict an immortal. Even if the Dao Ancestor or True God were to come, they would have no right to interfere with an immortal's thoughts.
This so-called "messing around" has a limit.
For example, one cannot assassinate immortals protected by the Divine Court, nor can one act in the name of the Divine Court Divine Court if one has not joined it...
These are generally the kinds of restrictions, and they basically have no impact on Qin Lu. In short, the key is not to jeopardize the interests of the Divine Court.
Things like killing trillions upon trillions of living beings and performing blood sacrifices are all permitted.
After all, the Primordial Land is too vast. If one does not become Purple Void True Immortal, one is merely an ant. There is no way to kill them all; as soon as one crop is cut down, another crop will grow back.
