Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1679 - 1661: The Purpose of the Immortal Realm?

The matter of Lingxiu Academy’s recruitment has now spread like wildfire throughout the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. Countless self-confident geniuses all want to seize the opportunity to become someone like Lin Feng. What’s more, only two days remain, and none of them want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Three days later, the recruitment work of Lingxiu Academy had concluded. During this time, Lin Feng interviewed countless people, and ultimately, only a hundred or so were left. Children took up seventy to eighty percent, while the remaining were all youths under seventeen. He did not accept a single adult. In his words, these people were much more malleable and had the potential to develop far better than adults who were already set in their ways.

Although over ninety percent of the interviewees were eliminated, they didn’t resent Lin Feng at all, because those whom Lin Feng kept were indeed stronger than them. Just like that, the three-day recruitment work came to an end.

Under the arrangement of Ding Wan’er, the children were divided into two classes, while the youths formed a single class and began training alongside the children of Lingxiu Academy and others. As for the consumption of elixirs by everyone, Xia Lalan took care of it all. The various spiritual medicines needed for alchemy were provided by the families of the children, and everything fell into place.

Immortal Realm!

On the top of a towering mountain, a dozen or so elders gathered.

"Fellow Daoists, our plan which has been in preparation for a thousand years has now stalled. We’ve been unable to contact the people previously sent to Earth. I think something must have happened to them," said an elder looking about seventy or eighty, his tone filled with regret. He was Xiao Ke, the ancestor of the Holy Soul Sect. If he had known this would happen, he would never have sent the talents from his sect to their deaths.

"It’s the same on my end. What I don’t understand is, how were our people killed when Lin Feng was already gravely injured like a dead man?" Another elder with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, wearing a black long robe, also said in frustration. He was Wang Chen, the ancestor of the Nine Nether Sect. To this day, he couldn’t comprehend what force on Earth could possess the power to kill so many Human Immortal Realm powerhouses.

"We think the same. Something must have happened on Earth that we don’t know about."

"We must come up with a plan to successfully establish the space passage. Only then will we understand what has happened."

"Didn’t Earth enter the Era of Doom already, where there’s practically nothing left? How can it be this formidable?"

...

Other elders also discussed the matter among themselves. They were truly troubled about it. To establish the space passage, they had tried everything to send their people to Earth, but everyone had mysteriously died. They didn’t even have the chance to assist in setting up the space passage, leaving them deeply confused. They couldn’t understand what was happening on Earth. The disciples sent there were elite members from their sects, and they all perished just like that. How could they not feel heartache?

If it weren’t for the space passage on Earth not being open yet, these Earth Immortal Realm individuals would have gone themselves to see what’s happening. They were also curious about how the cultivators on Earth managed to have the strength to hunt Human Immortal Realm powerhouses.

"I’m already considering other methods. The space passage must be opened no matter what. Earth is said to be the birthplace of all immortals. If we want to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, we must take the opportunity of Earth’s Era of Doom to go there. Otherwise, we have no hope of advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. With this in mind, I believe everyone should work together to establish the space passage," Xiao Ke said, looking at everyone again. To achieve a breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he felt it was worth paying any price.

"Does fellow Daoist have any good suggestions?" At this time, Wang Chen looked at Xiao Ke and asked. He really wanted to know if the other had any good ideas. If viable, he certainly wouldn’t oppose it.

"What other ideas, fellow Daoist? Please speak."

"Yes, fellow Daoist, as long as we can go to Earth, we are all in support!"

...

The other elders also spoke up at this moment. They hadn’t thought of any solutions themselves. Since someone suggested an idea, they were certainly willing to listen to what it entailed and assess its feasibility. If feasible, they would have no objections.

"Have you heard of the Myriad Laws Void Formation? Recently, I came across this formation in some ancient ruins," Xiao Ke said, looking at the crowd with a smile. The Myriad Laws Void Formation was renowned, known in the Ancient Era as a formation capable of breaking boundaries. However, it had been lost for countless years. Everyone knew of its power, but no one understood it. If he hadn’t just come across a book in some ancient ruins that introduced the Myriad Laws Void Formation, he wouldn’t have thought of this method.

"What! How is that possible!"

"It’s... it’s the Myriad Laws Void Formation!"

"This is unbelievable! Finding the Myriad Laws Void Formation!"

...

Everyone was stunned upon hearing Xiao Ke’s words. The Myriad Laws Void Formation had been lost for countless years, and now they suddenly heard about it. It was astonishing. They hadn’t expected the Myriad Laws Void Formation to emerge at this time. It was exactly what they needed, an absolutely great piece of news for them!

"It’s indeed true. With the Myriad Laws Void Formation, we can give up on our previous methods of establishing the space passage. However, I must say that setting up the Myriad Laws Void Formation requires many Black Spirit Stones, a total of ten thousand. So, we can’t set it up immediately. For the remaining time, I hope each of you can fully search for Black Spirit Stones. Once we gather enough, we can use the Myriad Laws Void Formation to open the space passage with Earth."

Seeing everyone of the same mind, Xiao Ke added swiftly. While everyone wished to go to Earth, the conditions for setting up the Myriad Laws Void Formation were too stringent, a total of ten thousand Black Spirit Stones. That was indeed difficult to achieve with the power of a single sect. Even within the Holy Soul Sect, there were only over two hundred Black Spirit Stones. The exact number of Black Spirit Stones available in the entire world was unknown. Hence he suggested joining forces to find a solution. Once gathered, they could use the Myriad Laws Void Formation.

"No problem. We’ll immediately instruct our people to start searching for Black Spirit Stones."

"Yes, we’ll donate the Black Spirit Stones right away. When the time comes, we’ll open the space passage together."

"My Xu Family has over two hundred Black Spirit Stones."

"I and the Artifact Sect have about a hundred or so."

...

After hearing Xiao Ke’s proposal, everyone agreed. The Space Fluctuation Points had already been destroyed from Earth’s side. Entering Earth now required other methods, and the Myriad Laws Void Formation was considered the best way to enter Earth’s Mortal World without sending disciples to a certain death. Besides, the formation posed no risk. As long as enough Black Spirit Stones were gathered to utilize it, they certainly supported the idea of using Black Spirit Stones to open the space passage.

"Since everyone agrees, let’s start searching for Black Spirit Stones separately. Once we have enough, we can open the space passage," said Xiao Ke, nodding as he saw everyone in agreement. Now the priority was to gather the Black Spirit Stones by all means possible. After speaking, he vanished from the spot.

Seeing Xiao Ke disappear, everyone else also vanished. The matter of Black Spirit Stones relating to the opening of the space passage was a big deal, and everybody cared deeply about it. No one wanted to waste time...

...

Seeing that things on this side had fallen into place, and the cultivators from various parties were rapidly improving their strengths, Lin Feng was very satisfied with the results. After spending seven days with the women around him to comfort them, he saw that no accidents happened within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. Lin Feng made some arrangements and then embarked on his journey of self-cultivation alone.

Now Lin Feng fully understood the ultimate goal of the Immortal Realm was to come to Earth. He clearly knew that the space passage between Earth and the Immortal Realm would eventually be fully cleared, and the Immortal Realm’s purpose was so specific, suggesting there must be something on Earth that drives the Immortal Realm wild. However, he still didn’t know exactly what the Immortal Realm’s aim was.

What could it be indeed?

Standing alone in the clouds overlooking the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, Lin Feng began to ponder. Why was it that the Immortal Realm, without any reason, suddenly became so desperate to come to Earth during this time? There had to be something wrong, otherwise, the Immortal Realm had no reason to come to Earth, and he didn’t have the time to procrastinate.

Lin Feng recalled recent scenarios on Earth, and a thought sprung to his mind. Earth was now at the end of the Era of Doom, at the tidal end, and the idea came to Lin Feng’s mind. Maybe the Immortal Realm sought to take advantage of this opportunity to accomplish something. Otherwise, why would the Immortal Realm be so insanely eager to enter Earth?

Upon thinking about this, Lin Feng realized the true goal of the Immortal Realm might be to come to Earth. Moreover, he realized that once the space passage between Earth and the Immortal Realm was opened, there would be no more restrictions on Earth due to the Era of Doom ending. He might soon have to face powerhouses from the Earth Immortal Realm, or even higher, with no limitations. At that time, he might stand alone facing true Earth Immortal Realm ancestors, and the thought brought urgency to his resolve.

At an altitude of ten thousand meters, overlooking the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, Lin Feng closed his eyes, taking in everything around him.
