Chapter 833 - 827: North Cold Immortal Palace, Solutions on the Immortal Path
Bei Hua Immortal Domain.
Ma Tianbao had just stabilized his body when a voice came to his ear: "Congratulations, Dao Friend, on your ascension to the Immortal Realm."
A gray-robed immortal spoke, his voice as cold as ice and devoid of any emotion.
Ma Tianbao raised his head, seeing a man with a deathly pale face staring at him.
Just ascended and already encountering strangers, he was about to inquire about Uncle Jia’s words but swallowed them back.
"Dao Friend, which sect do you hail from in the Lower Realm?"
The Guardian of the Ascension Platform, seeing Ma Tianbao silent, spoke: "I’ll give Dao Friend two choices. After completion, you can use the Ascension Pool to dissolve the Red Dust Tribulation Qi."
"The first is to mine the Cold Extreme Immortal Iron for ten thousand years for the North Cold Immortal Palace."
"The second is to mine the Cold Extreme Immortal Iron for ten thousand years for the North Cold Immortal Palace."
???
Is there any difference between the two choices?
To get to the Mahayana Realm, he spent countless efforts, and after ascending, he’s just a miner?
"Without a Dao Ancestor-level expert descending, it’s relatively safe."
The green ring glowed, transforming into Jia Ren’s form.
Only Ma Tianbao could see this; the staff of the Ascension Platform seemed blind and deaf, oblivious.
Jia Ren confirmed no accidents occurred and had no intention of playing the role of a golden finger grandfather, directly revealing himself.
"Do you plan to go to Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect or stay within the Mountain and Sea Pearl?"
He wasn’t sure about the situation in Xihua Immortal Domain, leaving the choice to Ma Tianbao.
"Mountain and Sea Pearl."
Just ascended to the Immortal Realm and about to be turned into a mining slave, working hard for ten thousand years; the situation in the Immortal Realm seems unfavorable compared to sticking with Uncle Jia.
This is a supremely powerful being near the peak of the Immortal Realm; even a bit of what leaks from his fingertips would be infinitely beneficial.
Far better than trekking through mountains and waters heading into the unknown Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect.
Jia Ren nodded, with a casual pat, Ma Tianbao vanished into the Mountain and Sea Pearl.
His figure flickered, his appearance and aura rapidly changing, soon becoming Ma Tianbao.
The staff of the Ascension Platform had been watching without noticing anything amiss.
"Does the North Cold Immortal Palace have any Immortal Elixir to restore the Dantian World and Star Immortal Orifice?" Jia Ren’s voice held a strange magic, compelling obedience and response.
No response was necessary; upon asking, the answer emerged unwittingly in the mind, captured by Linghuan True Heart for accurate information.
The staff of the Ascension Platform answered fully: "The Pure Spirit Immortal Essence Powder of the North Cold Immortal Palace and the North Cold Nine Palaces Divine Liquid; the former restores the Star Immortal Orifice, the latter remodels the Dantian Cave Heaven."
Jia Ren’s eyes shimmered; what was intended as a casual query turned unexpectedly fortunate.
Resolving the issues of the Dantian World and Star Immortal Orifice would clear the path of cultivation up to the Ancestral Master Realm.
"Help me join the North Cold Immortal Palace."
The staff’s eyes revealed slight confusion, their gaze toward Jia Ren subtly transformed as if seeing a close friend, the icy face melting like snow, breaking into a smile.
"I will introduce Dao Friend into the North Cold Immortal Palace."
The difference in attitude was vast.
Jia Ren nodded, accepted the cold-emitting Token handed over, and put it away.
He already learned the accurate location of the North Cold Immortal Palace through Linghuan True Heart.
Once Jia Ren disappeared, the staff of the Ascension Platform grasped their head, full of confusion: "What happened earlier? There’s a feeling of missing some memories..."
All was Jia Ren’s doing.
Using the Law of Enchantment to alter perceptions, the Heaven Stealing Law to steal all memories of Ma Tianbao’s ascension, leaving no trace.
Jia Ren didn’t use Space Law to reach the destination directly; instead, he drove the Escape Light, leisurely flying northward.
The Chaotic Immortal Realm formed from the Nan Hua Immortal Domain, and the Donghua and Xihua Immortal Domains had been visited, except for the Bei Hua Immortal Domain, which was being approached for the first time.
It’s unclear if the Bei Hua Immortal Domain was remodeled by a Dao Ancestor cultivating the ice and snow Great Dao, or if the environment is unique, snow-covered mountains are visible everywhere.
Looking out over blue skies, white clouds, and snow-covered ground, it’s quite harmonious.
The escape speed wasn’t too slow; a month of flying, crossing millions of miles, finally reaching the sect location of the North Cold Immortal Palace.
The North Cold Immortal Palace was arrayed with formations, seemingly fused with heaven and earth, the formations not weak in strength.
Most amazing was the faint presence of a Dao Ancestor aura within the North Cold Immortal Palace.
Does the North Cold Immortal Palace have a Dao Ancestor level expert?
No wonder the foundation is deep, easily finding ways to restore the Dantian Cave Heaven and Star Immortal Orifice; only forces at the Dao Ancestor level have such robust confidence.
A trade between two sides?
Uncertain of the other’s attitude, Jia Ren didn’t wish to risk.
Change to another force?
Jia Ren wasn’t here to clash with the North Cold Immortal Palace’s Dao Ancestor, but if forced into a battle of power levels, with the Dao Ancestor yet to reach Unity Realm Stage, he still held a chance of fighting.
Having found treasures to restore the Star Immortal Orifice and Dantian Cave Heaven, he wouldn’t leave.
Arriving near the North Cold Immortal Palace sect, the invisible formation’s suppression prevented flight.
This was limited to outsiders; North Cold Immortal Palace occasionally saw Escape Light flying out without any hindrance.
"Halt, stranger!"
Before approaching the North Cold Immortal Palace, two male Loose Immortals stopped him with questioning looks.
Loose Immortals serving as gatekeepers?
North Cold Immortal Palace is indeed extraordinary, truly the facade of a top immortal sect.
"I was recommended by an old friend to join the North Cold Immortal Palace."
Jia Ren finished speaking and took out a black iron token emitting coldness.
The gatekeeper confirmed the recommendation token was genuine and did not create difficulties. He led Jia Ren into the North Cold Immortal Palace towards the guest hall, while asking.
"This is a recommendation token from Uncle Luo. What is your relationship with Uncle Luo?"
"He and my father are old acquaintances."
Simply brushing it off, Jia Ren quietly waited in the guest hall.
A female immortal, dressed in a plain white palace robe with an air of coldness, came to the guest hall, scrutinizing Jia Ren for a moment before finally withdrawing her gaze.
Ma Tianbao naturally had good looks, along with the Heavenly Treasure Body. His aptitude, appearance, and talent were all exceptional, a rare prodigy in the Mysterious Realm.
"I am the Deputy Palace Master of North Cold Immortal Palace, you may call me Yao Ling Immortal Monarch."
"With your ascension to the Immortal Realm and a recommendation token, joining North Cold Immortal Palace is no problem."
"However, North Cold Immortal Palace is unusual, predominantly respects female immortals. Male immortals can only hold secondary positions, and the cultivation techniques they practice are limited."
"Do you still wish to join the North Cold Immortal Palace?"
Respecting female immortals?
The Dao Ancestor of North Cold Immortal Palace wouldn’t be a woman, would she?
Ordinary sects absolutely would not have such rules.
If joining the sect normally, he has no interest in North Cold Immortal Palace, but who let him have other schemes.
Yao Ling Immortal Monarch smiled and said, "Certainly, this sect has a Profound Yin Charming Female Immortal Technique; practitioners can transform from male to female. However, the transition from yang to yin carries many hidden dangers, affecting the path."
Jia Ren made a thoughtful gesture and ultimately nodded, saying, "I am willing to join the North Cold Immortal Palace."
Yao Ling Immortal Monarch nodded with satisfaction, taking out a Cold Jade Treasure Mirror and casting it on Jia Ren.
"Supreme Grade Spiritual Root, Heavenly Treasure Body! Exceptional talent!"
Yao Ling Immortal Monarch’s eyes were cold as she suddenly shouted, "What is your purpose in joining the North Cold Immortal Palace?"
Jia Ren appeared muddled, honestly saying, "I admire North Cold Immortal Palace and specifically asked Uncle Luo, who is connected, to help me join."
The Immortal Monarch-level soul-searching is of no pressure to Jia Ren in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, with no chance of exposing flaws.
Yao Ling Immortal Monarch swiftly recorded the relevant information in a Jade Slip: "Ma Tianbao, exceptional talent, can enter the sect."
After confirming the identity was correct, the pressure from Yao Ling Immortal Monarch dissipated, and she lifted the Plain Immortal Soul-Searching Spell.
"From today, you are a disciple of North Cold Immortal Palace."
Jia Ren was not surprised to join the North Cold Immortal Palace; all was expected.
"I still lack a disciple, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
An Immortal Monarch accepting a disciple?
This is indeed a great fortune.
The Immortal Monarch level is considered the upper echelon in the Immortal Realm, with many strong sects having their strongest at the Immortal Monarch level, such as today’s Ming Luo Hall and Qianhuan Sect.
Of course, Ming Luo Hall also has the missing Lord Mingluo. It’s unclear whether Yu Qiong Celestial Honor has a special relationship with Qianhuan Sect.
Refusal would arouse suspicion. Without hesitation, Jia Ren hurriedly used a clone to kneel: "Master above, please accept this disciple’s bow."
The process of accepting a disciple went smoothly.
Jia Ren had just joined the North Cold Immortal Palace and had already become Yao Ling Immortal Monarch’s disciple. However, the identity was still too low.
North Cold Immortal Palace had a Dao Ancestor overseeing it, not convenient to replace Yao Ling Immortal Monarch. Otherwise, directly assuming her identity would save many troubles entering the treasure vault.
Only when the Dao Ancestor leaves North Cold Immortal Palace dare he act boldly.
Becoming a disciple was exceedingly simple.
A steward in the Loose Immortal Realm brought Jia Ren to handle identity Jade Token, knowing he became Yao Ling Immortal Monarch’s disciple, with a look of envy.
Jia Ren, mastering Linghuan True Heart, easily comprehended the meaning in the steward’s eyes.
Disciple?
It’s clearly a favored male companion.
Jia Ren touched his overly handsome face of Ma Tianbao, along with his unique aura, confirming his appeal to female immortals.
No wonder following Ma Zhongyuan’s lineage, both father and son have the charm that attracts female cultivators?
After completing the procedures, he followed the steward to Yao Ling Mountain, where Yao Ling Immortal Monarch’s practice field in the sect was located. Only Immortal Monarchs and above qualify to hold independent peaks.
Jia Ren obtained his own cave, arranging it simply.
Leaving Yao Ling Mountain, he wandered around North Cold Immortal Palace, seeking a suitable identity to enter the treasure vault.
Wait for North Cold Immortal Palace’s Dao Ancestor to leave the sect, or create a distraction with a clone, change identity, and seize the opportunity to infiltrate the treasure vault.
Jia Ren quickly experienced the limitations his identity brought; many areas in North Cold Immortal Palace were male forbidden zones, inaccessible.
Within the sect, those passing by mostly were female immortals.
After only wandering a few rounds, many female immortals inquired about his identity, knowing he’s Yao Ling Immortal Monarch’s disciple, leaving regretfully.
Jia Ren returned to his cave without much gain, while considering how to divert the Dao Ancestor’s attention.
Outside the cave came the voice of Yao Ling Immortal Monarch: "Disciple, I will teach and clear your doubts."
Teaching and resolving doubts?
Jia Ren is no fool, mastering Linghuan True Heart. How could he not understand Yao Ling Immortal Monarch’s purpose for visiting late at night?
Ma Tianbao truly lives up to being Ma Zhongyuan’s son, following the lineage, with a talent that skips thousands or tens of thousands of years on the path.
