What is an immortal?

Chapter 1098 - 1061: Curtain Call (Part 2)

Afterward, Yuan Ming commanded the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals to take action, establishing a remote teleportation array between the Yunhuang Continent and the Dongji Sea while developing a route through the Death Abyss.

However, at the same time, Yuan Ming refrained from striking at the various gigantic Exotic Beasts within the Death Abyss, instead allowing them to continue surviving in the Abyss Sea Region, making it a training and assessment site for the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals' cultivators.

Once the situation across the Chuyun Realm stabilized, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying planned to embark on a new journey.

Many years ago, Yuan Ming had inquired within the golden hall of the Stealing Heaven Tripod about the method to leave the Chuyun Realm for a higher realm.

He initially thought the statue might not know the answer, but he was informed that thirty thousand Vow Power Pills would be needed for a response.

Thus, Yuan Ming went about his bustling affairs while quietly accumulating Vow Power Pills.

Due to the spread of the Double Moon Alliance, the number of believers worshipping the Nether Moon God grew, resulting in the smooth accumulation of Vow Power Pills. Yuan Ming handed over the thirty thousand pills as promised, receiving the answer.

It turned out that the path taken by the cultivator in the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace years ago wasn't incorrect; the great array did possess the power to send him to a higher realm, but he had overlooked two crucial issues.

Firstly, during the teleportation process, a Dao Treasure-level spatial artifact was needed as a carrier; otherwise, the vast energy would tear the teleported person's body apart.

Secondly, the correct coordinates had to be set for the teleportation; otherwise, one might be sent to a Land of Nothingness.

In that Land of Nothingness, there is no time, no Spiritual Power, and not even space—only an inescapable void chaos that traps a person forever without an escape.

With the Shura Palace at his side, Yuan Ming wasn't lacking a carrier, but he didn't know the teleportation coordinates.

So, he spent another five thousand Vow Power Pills to learn from the statue that some relics left by the Hui Clan in the Wentian Secret Realm contained the correct coordinates.

Later, Yuan Ming spent ten years exploring seven relics left by the Hui Clan to piece together the correct coordinates, learning that it was a place called the "Guanghui Immortal Domain."

Through careful study of the coordinates, Yuan Ming was amazed to discover that the anchor was none other than another Stealing Heaven Tripod or something similar to it.

This further fueled Yuan Ming's curiosity to explore that realm, as he wanted to uncover the true origin of the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

After discussing with Xi Ying, Yuan Ming decided to leave the Chuyun Realm and head towards the Guanghui Immortal Domain.

Before leaving, he gathered the many companions who had accompanied him all this way to inform them of his decision.

Despite their worries, not one of them objected because they knew Yuan Ming too well.

"Master, no matter where you go, I will follow," Hua Zhi was the first to express her determination to follow.

"The Upper Realm Immortal Domain has too many unknown variables, and we don't know if we can arrive safely. You shouldn't take the risk," Yuan Ming refused.

"I'm already a Level 7 Demon; what place can I not go?" Hua Zhi protested.

"Wait until you find your own Dao and advance to Level 8. Besides, I have other tasks for you," Yuan Ming said.

"What task?" Hua Zhi's interest was piqued immediately.

Yuan Ming raised his hand, and a palm-sized Silver Token appeared in his palm, which he handed to her.

"This Space Token is crafted from the residual power of the Three Realms Immortal Boat, fused with a part of my mana and the power of the World Tree. With it, you can open the Wentian Secret Realm at will," Yuan Ming said.

"Such an important thing, to me?" Hua Zhi said with some surprise.

"It was originally meant for Wulu, but he and Vajra have gone to the Demon World and have rarely been heard from these years. I can't rashly go to the Demon World, as it would cause panic, so I can only entrust this key to you," Yuan Ming smiled.

"So it is..." Hua Zhi said, speechless.

"In the future, whether it's you or others from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Double Moon Alliance who wish to enter the Wentian Secret Realm for training, the decision is in your hands. You must shoulder the responsibility and use it wisely," Yuan Ming instructed.

"Alright." Hua Zhi nodded, promising.

"Master, I..." Lei Yu started, but stopped midway.

"I know you want to join me too, but you are no longer alone; Zong Hong has given birth to your child. Your family should stay here peacefully," Yuan Ming patted his shoulder and said.

"I won't be able to accompany Master like before..." Lei Yu said with a look of guilt.

"Cultivate well; there may yet be a chance to meet again in the future," Yuan Ming said as he took out a White Jade Porcelain Bottle to hand to him.

Inside was the Demon Core of a Level 7 Demon he had slain in the Wentian Secret Realm.

Subsequently, Yuan Ming instructed Wang Fulong and others on the future development matters of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, leaving them with some resources unique to the Wentian Secret Realm before letting them leave.

He also summoned Xi Hezi, Dian Xiaosan, and the Great Sun Glaze Flame, among other Artifact Spirits, to ask about their intentions.

Apart from the Great Sun Glaze Flame, who stated that its strength had not fully recovered and it did not wish to leave the Chuyun Realm yet, Xi Hezi and the others expressed their desire to continue following Yuan Ming.

Xi Hezi was exceptionally excited, eager to see what the high-level Immortal Domain would look like.
