Return to the Qin Realm, a New Era!

The entire process was completed.

As was customary, Long Yuntian invited Qin Lu to join the Divine Court. The significance of an Immortal far surpasses that of hundreds of Spirit Transformation...

At the same time, he presented Qin Lu with a star map.

The star map was naturally a valuable item to Qin Lu at the moment, but Qin Lu had no intention of being subservient to anyone...

After exchanging a few polite words, Qin Lu left on his own.

Long Yuntian watched Qin Lu leave without any particular thought. He yawned, and his figure vanished into thin air...

As the field of vision slowly widens.

These seemingly magnificent, sprawling palaces and pavilions were actually situated atop a dragon scale...

These dragon scales, resembling a small continent, stretched as far as the eye could see, and it was none other than a winding, colossal dragon...

Its size is comparable to that of a whole world!

Countless clouds enveloped the giant dragon; were it not for its head, resembling a star, appearing and disappearing intermittently, no one would have guessed it was a dragon...

This thing, which was the size of a world, was actually a giant dragon!

The immortal palace where Qin Lu and Long Yuntian were just now was merely a scale on the dragon's body, demonstrating the immense size of this dragon...

And this sleeping giant white dragon is none other than Long Yuntian's true form, the master of the Starry Sky Dragon Race and the Hanyun Dragon Vein!

Dragon Cloud Demon Immortal: Long Yuntian!

At this moment, Qin Lu had just left the Immortal Palace, and his figure vanished without a trace. When he reconstituted his body...

They have already returned to the Dao Sea of Soul!

Now that Qin Lu has advanced to the Purple Void True Immortal realm, distance is no longer a limitation. As long as the Soul Dao exists in this world, he can merge with the Great Dao...

Thus, one returns to the Dao Sea of Soul, and then extends the Great Dao throughout the heavens.

Qin Lu only needs to find the Great Dao Long River that stretches to the Qin Realm, then he can use the river to return to the Qin Realm, thus ignoring the limitations of space and distance...

You should know--

The Qin Realm's current location in the starry sea is 108,000 miles away from the Primordial Land, as if relying solely on speed...

It would probably take thousands of years to fly!

If it were a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator or a Spirit Transformation Nascent Soul, it would take at least tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, to cross this distance...

Even if you fly until you die, you still won't reach the Primordial Land.

It is evident that the starry sea is vast, and it is indeed no exaggeration to call it the upper realm. However, after this journey, Qin Lu has not come away empty-handed.

First, they obtained the certification of the Divine Court.

With the permission of the Divine Court, he had the right to manage his power in the Primordial Land, but he only wanted to establish power Primordial Land...

That would inevitably create a hierarchical relationship with the Divine Court, which would be a tacit admission that they had become subordinate to the Divine Court's rule.

If you don't want to be bound by these restrictions, then you can only go to the other thirty-six Immortal Realms among the seventy-two domains...

Most of them also possessed rulers, and were eventually divided up by all the myriad races of the heavens.

To gain a foothold, they would have to compete for territory with other True Immortal and Dao Ancestor, which was not a good thing for the Qin Clan either...

The only options are the lands of the North Sea and the West Sea, or perhaps settling down in the Savage Wilderness...

These are the forces that refuse to submit to the Divine Court and instead dream of establishing their own independent power.

This is tantamount to exile.

The Qin Humans Race, if they wanted to maintain their autonomy, had no choice but to take root in these barren lands, and only by becoming Dao Ancestor could they achieve this...

Only those who are qualified are worthy of being seated at the table of the Seventy-Two Immortal Realms.

In addition to having their names recorded and certified by the Divine Court, they also received two treasures: the method for forging the Ascension Platform and the materials for forging Ascension Platform.

These were essentially subsidies from the Divine Court; more accurately, it was a favor to the ascended True Immortal, in case anything happened in the future...

These True Immortal, who had received favors from the Divine Court, naturally couldn't afford to cause trouble for it.

The True Immortal who choose to reside in the Divine Court receive a different treatment, but these benefits are naturally out of reach for Qin Lu.

This Ascension Platform is quite simple.

The Divine Court provided all the casting materials and methods; any Fifth-Tier array master could easily set it up...

The Ascension Platform will then automatically connect to the Primordial Land.

However, this Ascension Platform is a single-purpose formation, only allowing ascension to the upper realm, but not a way to return to the Qin Realm...

To return, one must either become an immortal and return via the Dao River, or Qin Lu must personally intervene and activate the Dao River to guide one back.

This is like a one-way valve; most of the ascended Spirit Transformation cultivators will be taken under the jurisdiction of the Divine Court Divine Court serve it...

Or perhaps they sought a breakthrough and left on their own.

The departing Spirit Transformation cultivators, powerless and without influence, become, in another sense, ready-made snacks for other Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators...

Qin Lu had been wondering why the Divine Court was being so generous.

Now, upon closer reflection, this upper realm is like a sweet yet deadly trap for those below the True Immortal level, and the geniuses of all the heavens and myriad realms...

To become an immortal, one must step into the Primordial Land.

Isn't this equivalent to giving away a Sixth-Tier living medicinal herb?

Submitting to the Divine Court means becoming a genius produced by the myriad realms, ultimately forming the foundation of the Divine Court; not joining the Divine Court means becoming a Sixth-Tier living medicinal herb...

Ultimately, in some corner of the world, it was hunted down by various powerful forces.

Perhaps this is the truth, after all, the Ascension Platform is linked to the realm of the Divine Court. If the Qin Humans Race do not want to be drained of their resources by the Divine Court in the future...

If you also want to live a peaceful life on your own.

Then the only option is to find a way to develop a formation similar to the Ascension Platform, and this formation is undoubtedly Seventh-Tier immortal formation!

It is simply impossible for the Qin Humans Clan to refine it nowadays.

Because refining Sixth-Tier- or Seventh-Tier items requires Dao of Refining cultivator, specifically a Dao of Refining cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm, to have any chance of success.

The difficulty involved is unimaginable.

First, one must have exceptional talent, capable of cultivating to the Spirit Transformation, and must be nurtured in the Dao of Formations from the outset, while also avoiding straying from the right path during cultivation...

The only option is to Dao of Refining!

Given these stringent conditions alone, the cost and time required to cultivate such a talent are immeasurable.

This is a trap, but even if it is, we have to grit our teeth and accept it.

This is the price of seeking independence!

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the Cold Beast Clan's Spirit Transformation...

They would rather die of old age in the Cold Realm than risk ascending to the Upper Realm, because even if they did ascend, they would most likely die and become someone else's resources.

To die in Lineage's world, in a way, benefits the future generations of the Cold Beast Clan. Compared to that...

Then you will be able to understand the true intentions of the Cold Beast Clan.

No wonder that back then, Venerable Mieyang's ancestors, as well as Venerable Huadao and Venerable Shenji, risked entering the Frost Cloud Realm...

Compared to the Primordial Land, it was a matter of life and death.

In the Frost Cloud Realm, at least they could live a peaceful and carefree life, and they could even find a way to securely inherit the realm and become immortals...

Now it seems --

Their initial choice was largely out of necessity, but it was also their best option and the only future they could see a way forward.

But in any case, having the Ascension Platform provides another route.

Venerable Ice Howl: Bai Yun, Venerable Extreme Dharma: Ye Wuxu, aren't they the best stepping stones for the Qin Clan? Let them ascend first...

If we can establish a firm foothold in the upper realm, we can then gradually make our moves in the future!

Their true purpose was to gradually expand the Great Qin to the Upper Realm, drawing upon its abundant resources to support the Qin Clan.

Let Bai Yun and Ye Wuxu deal with the Divine Court for now; it's not a big problem. Everything should be viewed from a long-term perspective.

Moreover--

The clan has Qin Qianyu, a genius in Dao of Formations, who is now Nascent Soul Realm Dao of Refining. With future resource allocation...

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, breaking through to the Spirit Transformation should be a sure thing.

It's not impossible that in the future, a similar Ascension Platform or other ascension formation could be developed. At that time, the Qin Clan would have its own ascension formation...

This would allow them to bypass the Divine Court and securely establish the Great Qin in the Upper Realm.

This concerns the Ascension Platform.

Another major gain was the star map given to me by Long Yunxian, which was itself a Sixth-Tier Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure...

But to be more precise, this is only a third-generation artifact.

It is itself an eighth-tier Dao weapon: Myriad Rivers Star Map!

It records the vast sea of stars at all times, encompassing every known place in the universe, leaving nothing out...

The Star River Sub-Map of the Three Generations in Qin Lu's possession only recorded a portion of the star sea.

However, users can add new star charts that were not originally present, gradually completing and perfecting the original system...

At the same time, the sub-map and the Myriad Rivers Star Map will be kept synchronized in real time.

Every time the subgraph discovers an unknown universe, the main graph automatically records it synchronously, which can be said to be the case in the world today...

The most comprehensive star map ever recorded, bar none!

This treasure is also extremely important to the Qin Clan. With it, at least the Qin Clan won't be completely blind to the truth...

(ps: The number of Immortal Realms has been slightly changed; it is now 72 Immortal Realms and 9 Divine Realms, for a total of 81 realms.)
