Chapter 603: The Immortal Realm Continent
Chapter 603: The Immortal Realm Continent
In ancient legends passed down through generations, it was said that before the Primordial Tribulation, there was a Return Void True One who ascended to the Immortal World and managed to establish contact with the Ancient Chaos Continent through special means, proving the existence of the vast immortal realm.
However, after the great tribulation, the Ancient Chaos Continent was enveloped by an unknown energy, cutting off all communication with the Immortal World and even the outside starry sky. For hundreds of thousands of years, this has been an irreconcilable fact for the vast majority of cultivators on the Ancient Chaos Continent.
Now, with the Ascension Platform, a glimmer of hope has appeared, and the emotions of those present can be imagined.
After careful deliberation, the various parties finally decided to join forces to research this Ascension Platform.
Putting aside their hostilities, the different factions began discussing.
"As far as I know, during ancient times, only a Return Void True One could activate the Ascension Platform. Could it be that we need our ancestors to personally attempt it?"
Soon, the first question arose.
However, others expressed different opinions.
"I don't think so. After the Primordial Tribulation, the cosmos underwent a cosmic transformation. The once-dense spiritual energy on the Floating Land has greatly diminished. Nowadays, the number of Return Void cultivators is far fewer than before, by thousands or even millions of times."
"Similarly, with the cosmic transformation, it's possible that the restrictions on the Ascension Platform have also been significantly reduced."
"For now, everything is just speculation. The key question is, is there anyone willing to step up and give it a try?"
After much discussion, each faction ultimately sent two cultivators, all of whom were at the Golden Core cultivation level and were on the verge of their lifespan's end, hoping for one last chance.
As the dozen or so cultivators took turns stepping onto the Ascension Platform, they exchanged glances and simultaneously channeled their spiritual power into it.
The Golden Core spiritual power continuously flowed into the Ascension Platform, and the white jade stone platform seemed to be affected by the cosmic environment, just as they had thought. With the infusion of spiritual power from the Golden Core cultivators, the platform underwent significant changes.
The stone platform, upon receiving this spiritual power, began to tremble slightly. But just as everyone thought it was about to be activated, the abnormal movements of the Ascension Platform suddenly ceased. If it weren't for the eyewitness accounts of those present, some would have doubted if it was just an illusion.
Seeing this, the leaders of the various factions frowned, but they didn't give up.
"From what we just witnessed, the Ascension Platform should be able to be activated. If Golden Core cultivators can't do it, then let's try Nascent Soul cultivators!"
"Good!"
"Agreed!"
With a consensus reached, each faction sent out one Nascent Soul cultivator, totaling six people.
The six Nascent Soul cultivators stepped onto the stone platform without hesitation and unleashed their spiritual power.
This time, the Ascension Platform's reaction was even more significant. After several dozen seconds, the trembling of the white jade platform reached its limit, followed by a pillar of light shooting straight up into the sky.
When everything calmed down and the pillar of light dissipated, the representatives from the various factions were all startled.
"Where are they?"
"They're gone. Could they have been transported to the Immortal World?"
"Can we confirm their safety? Is the Immortal World safe?"
For a while, discussions erupted among those present, and everyone was curious about the situation of the six Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, someone soon shook their head and said,
"Although they all left their life tokens with their respective families, the Immortal World is too far from our Ancient Chaos Continent. The moment the six of them disappeared, their life tokens became completely dim."
Hearing this, some heaved a sigh of relief, considering it good news, at least leaving them with a glimmer of hope.
But most people held a pessimistic view.
"It's also possible that the Ascension Platform cannot connect to the Immortal World at all. Its teleportation is cut off. The moment the six cultivators initiated the teleportation, they were swallowed by the chaotic void currents."
"Or perhaps, after being cut off for hundreds of thousands of years, the Immortal World has become extremely dangerous, instantly taking the lives of the six Nascent Soul cultivators."
These speculations weighed heavily on the cultivators waiting for the outcome.
What they didn't know was that in a distant, unknown dark land, the six Nascent Soul cultivators who had been teleported away were still alive.
"Where are we? There's not a trace of light!"
The six cultivators stepped down from the ancient stone platform behind them, exploring in complete darkness.
Fortunately, they were all Nascent Soul cultivators, fourth-rank lifeforms in the Broken Star Sea, and had long possessed night vision. Even in this perpetual darkness, they could explore without hindrance.
"Regardless of where we are, we should currently be on an unknown continent, one that is completely different from the Ancient Chaos Continent."
At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Taiyi Immortal Sect suddenly spoke, and his words gained unanimous agreement from the others.
The reason for their certainty was simple: the concentration of spiritual energy here was too high, hundreds of times greater than that of the Ancient Chaos Continent. Even after just a few minutes of bathing in this spiritual energy, one of the six showed signs of a breakthrough.
It was worth noting that they were all Nascent Soul cultivators, and each of their breakthroughs usually required more than a hundred years. Additionally, after a few minutes of continuous observation, they could almost confirm that the land beneath their feet was vast, with no end in sight, and was definitely not a special secret realm space.
Based on these two points, they could be sure that the place they were in was a super-advanced Floating Land, far beyond the Floating Land of the Ancient Chaos Continent, and perhaps it was indeed the so-called Immortal World.
Unfortunately, when they tried to reactivate the Ascension Platform behind them, it didn't work, let alone teleport them back to the Ancient Chaos Continent.
For a moment, some who had initially believed they had found the legendary Immortal World and were feeling self-satisfied, soon fell into panic again.
There was no other choice. If it were a normal Immortal World continent, they wouldn't have any other thoughts. But facing this endless eternal night environment, anyone would feel that something was amiss.
Even the Ancient Chaos Continent, enveloped by special energy, wouldn't have such complete darkness during the darkest hours of the night, with not a trace of light. It was as if the entire world lacked the concept of light, causing people to feel inexplicably anxious and fearful.
Compared to the Nascent Soul cultivators from other factions, the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator from Luofu Sword Sect seemed much more composed. He wasn't Zhou Ping, but he also had a Aether Market Travel Token in his storage bag.
This was given to him by the Sect Master, who hinted that he could try to secretly activate this silver token and see if he could connect to the Aether Market through the Aether Market Travel Token, thus establishing contact with Zhou Ping during subsequent Aether Market transactions.
Using the excuse of exploring separately, the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator from Luofu Sword Sect soon separated from the other five.
...
At a certain point in time, the Aether Market.
"Huh?"
Song Chi, who was in the Aether Market high above, fully immersed in comprehending the Law of Space, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. His gaze, which had been fixed on the trace of the Law of Space before him, suddenly shifted to the four-story inn below.
As the master of the Aether Market, he not only sensed the spatial fluctuations from a certain Aether Market Travel Room and identified the specific identity of the being entering the market, but more importantly, he also knew that this Aether Market Travel Room was the one corresponding to the second Aether Market Travel Token that Zhou Ping had recently exchanged for a new mythical artifact.
With this discovery, coupled with the information about the Ascension Platform and the Immortal Realm that Zhou Ping had mentioned earlier, Song Chi instantly made numerous connections.
"Could this person be someone sent by Luofu Sword Sect to the Immortal Realm through the Ascension Platform?"
"Or is he like Zhou Ping, also logging in from the Ancient Chaos Continent?"
"If it's truly that legendary Immortal Realm, could it be related to the Immortal Realm Civilization?"
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Song Chi's mind, but he quickly calmed himself down.
"No rush, the answer will be revealed during the next Aether Market transaction."
Although he reassured himself, Song Chi couldn't help but focus most of his attention on the Aether Market Travel Room, carefully observing the new Luofu Sword Sect member.
After a few minutes, based on the joy that appeared on the other person's face, Song Chi had already formed a guess, but he hadn't fully confirmed it yet.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.
On this day, a new Aether Market transaction began.
In the past, Song Chi would have most likely delegated the task of hosting the transaction to his clone, but this time, he did the opposite.
Instead of focusing on cultivation or comprehending the laws, after the Aether Market transaction started, he split his consciousness into two strands and focused them on the Aether Market Travel Rooms of Zhou Ping and the new Luofu Sword Sect member.
It was no wonder he was so concerned, as it involved the Immortal Realm Civilization.
Based on Song Chi's understanding over the past few centuries, he had always suspected that the Ancient Chaos Continent had some connection to the Immortal Realm Civilization, with the most likely possibility being that the Ancient Chaos Continent was once a part of the Immortal Realm Civilization.
It was because of this suspicion that he attached such importance to it.
According to the records of the Flame Civilization, although the Immortal Realm Civilization had been destroyed for over hundreds of thousands of years, before the birth of the Flame Civilization, the Immortal Realm Civilization was undoubtedly one of the dominant civilizations in the Broken Star Sea. Many Star Sea alien civilizations had documented this fact.
As a dominant civilization, the Immortal Realm Civilization once possessed mythical power, and its core floating land, the Immortal Realm Continent, was very likely a tenth-tier Star Sea floating land.
This fact alone was enough to make him exhaust all his thoughts in exploring and seeking it.
A tenth-tier Star Sea floating land could autonomously nurture mythical artifacts, and according to the myths of the Ancient Chaos Continent, the so-called Immortal Realm that they ascended to tens of thousands of years ago was, in Song Chi's subconscious, always believed to be the Immortal Realm Continent.
As he indulged in his thoughts, just as he had expected, the first person to log in was not Zhou Ping, but someone else. However, after logging in, Zhou Ping did not rush to leave the inn. Instead, he waited in front of a travel room on the third floor of the inn.
The waiting process lasted for nearly half an hour.
Just as Zhou Ping was getting impatient, the door to the travel room in front of him finally opened, and the new member from Luofu Sword Sect appeared in his field of view.
The two exchanged glances and then looked around before quickly stepping into the travel room.
Inside the travel room, Zhou Ping was about to ask a question, but he was interrupted by the person in front of him.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator, who was clearly much older than Zhou Ping, suddenly waved his hand, and a circle of spiritual power surged from his body, forming a layer of spatial separation around the two of them.
Only then did the person speak.
Outside, high above in the Aether Market, Song Chi, completely concealed by the market's laws, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
As the master of the Aether Market, he was all-seeing within its confines, and the other party's crude attempt at concealment was useless against him.
After a few minutes, Song Chi's eyes shifted, and he had captured every detail of the conversation between Zhou Ping and the other person.
"An extremely high-level Life Floating Land, could it really be the rumored Immortal Realm Continent that went missing?"
"And what is this eternal darkness environment..."
...
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind once again, but in the end, he settled on only one.
"I must find a way to establish a spatial anchor point on that floating land!"
At this point, no amount of speculation could compare to personally going there and investigating. As long as he could establish a spatial anchor point on that so-called eternal darkness continent, everything else would not be a problem.
However, figuring out how to establish a spatial anchor point there was a challenge.
Even if Luofu Sword Sect later exchanged an Aether Market Projection Token and summoned the Aether Market Projection to assist in the battle, the illusory projection still couldn't silently establish a spatial anchor point on its own.
Unless, with the Abyssal Projection Imperial Stone, he summoned the Heaven Ruin Skydome projection and then used the 'Reality-Virtual Conversion' characteristic to manipulate this step.
But how to deliver the Abyssal Projection Imperial Stone there was also a difficult problem.
Furthermore, even if it was successfully delivered, it was uncertain if the Abyssal Projection Imperial Stone could be activated.
Although the Abyssal Projection Imperial Tomb was a black component, the place where the 'Immortal Realm Continent' was currently located was obviously abnormal. In other words, the Multiverse Bazaar's position was inherently heaven-defying, which was why the two Luofu Sword Sect members could communicate smoothly. Whether the Abyssal Projection Imperial Tomb would work was truly uncertain.
"Let me think carefully about what could cause an eternal night environment."
An eternal night environment was obviously not something that could be created by normal means. Song Chi intended to use this as an entry point to see if he could deduce where the suspected 'Immortal Realm Continent' was located.
"Could it be a mythical artifact seal?"
The first thing that came to Song Chi's mind was the Time Chessboard's 'Time Cage' ability. Although time was frozen within the 'Time Cage', it could also be a seal or blocking ability of other attributes.
In addition, he also thought of black holes, the Abyssal Dark Side, and various other factors.
Time passed, and twenty-four hours went by quickly. After sending away all the aliens, Song Chi didn't rush to tally the transaction gains this time. Instead, he returned to the Dragon Backbone Continent and then to the Heavenly Plate River System using the Dragon Backbone anchor point.
Upon his return, he immediately took out the Radiant Light Token 32.
He planned to consult the Star Tower members about the Immortal Realm Civilization. Compared to the Song Family, whose heritage was only a few thousand years old, the Star Tower members' backing forces might have more detailed information.
