Chapter 1023: 932 wooing three families

The Yang Family of the Tianxuan Realm also bears the task of transfusing fresh blood for the Yang Family in the Immortal Realm.

Putting aside Shen Long’s strength, he is also an Alchemist, which is why the Yang Family is keen to recruit him.

"Qihong Immortal Domain! Taiyi Golden Immortal? Taoist Friend Yang, could you tell me about the situation in the Immortal Realm?"

Shen Long asked politely, as he did not know much about the Immortal Realm.

Some of the Lin Family’s scriptures mentioned the Immortal Realm, but not much information was provided.

"Taoist Friend Shen, if you cultivate to the late stage of the Mahayana, transcend the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, you can ascend to the Immortal Realm and become a True Immortal. The realms after True Immortal are Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, and Dao Ancestor,

There are many Immortal Domains in the Immortal Realm, I’m not clear on the exact number. The Qihong Immortal Domain is a medium-sized one and has never seen a Daluo Golden Immortal. The Immortal Realm governs tens of thousands of realm groups, and the Qingxuan Continent Groups are just one of them. Ascending from different planes lands you in different areas of the Immortal Realm. If you land on territory controlled by the Human Clan, it’s still alright, but if you fall into a territory of a Different Clan that harbors hostility towards the Human Clan, then it’s a scenario where you can neither live nor die at will."

Yang Yixin said slowly.

"Taoist Friend Yang, do the cultivators ascending to the Immortal Realm from the Qingxuan Continent Groups all land in the Qihong Immortal Domain?"

Chu Buyu asked curiously.

"That’s not necessarily the case; they may also land in either a Great Immortal Domain or a minor one. Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, you have been cultivating in seclusion for many years and it’s not easy to ascend to the Immortal Realm. You wouldn’t want to land on territory controlled by a Different Clan, would you? That’s tantamount to seeking death."

Yang Yixin said meaningfully, as if recalling something, and then continued: "In the past million years, three fellows joined our Yang Family upon persuasion by members of our clan, ascending to the Immortal Realm from a point provided by us and landing within our Yang Family’s territory. We offer Cultivation Techniques, resources, and dwellings. The life of a Loose Immortal is a tough one, not to mention, without Cultivation Techniques, how would you cultivate?"

"Taoist Friend Yang, should we decide to join the Yang Family, what specific resources can you provide for us?"

Shen Long asked seriously.

"I’m not clear on everything, but as long as you ascend to the Immortal Realm and land within our Yang Family’s territory, each person can get two Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, two bottles of First Rank Immortal Pills, and a sum of Immortal Yuan Stone, which is the currency of trade among Immortals. You can also choose Cultivation Techniques from the Scripture Pavilion, and have clan elders guide you in understanding the Law. Loose Immortals don’t receive such treatment."

Yang Yixin said proudly.

Chu Buyu took out a Law Disk that was flashing with red light, input a spell, and said, "Husband, our friends from the Jiang and Gu Families have come to visit."

"It seems they, just like me, all want to recruit Taoist Friend Shen. Taoist Friend Shen, if I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I can still look out for you. However, the cultivators from the Gu and Jiang Families may not necessarily do the same."

Yang Yixin stated.

"Taoist Friend Yang, this matter is of great significance, we need to consider it."

Shen Long said.

"No problem, whenever Taoist Friend Shen has made up your mind, you can contact me or visit the Yang Family at any time. Our Yang Family welcomes strong individuals like Taoist Friend Shen to join. I won’t disturb you further, so I will take my leave now."

Yang Yixin agreed and then got up and left.

Not long after, Jiang Tianshan and Gu Xueyun walked in.

"Taoist Jiang, Madam Gu, long time no see, please have a seat."

Shen Long greeted them to sit down.

Jiang Tianshan and Gu Xueyun didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, hoping that if Shen Long could ascend to the Immortal Realm, he might join their powers there.

The influence of the Gu Family in the Immortal Realm doesn’t reside within the Qihong Immortal Domain, while the Jiang Family has a certain reputation within it.

Shen Long did not refuse, nor did he agree; he inquired about the situation of their clansmen in the Immortal Domain and the resources and treatment they could offer.

"Taoist Jiang, Madam Gu, you must have encountered Taoist Friend Yang just now. Frankly speaking, Taoist Friend Yang hopes that we will join the Yang Family. We need to consider it carefully before we can give you an answer,"

Shen Long said.

"No problem, Taoist Friend Shen can take your time to think it over. Giving us your answer before ascending to the Immortal Realm is fine. I heard that Taoist Friend Shen has been to Jinlan Realm, have you heard of Heaven Venerable Yuxu?"

Jiang Tianshan asked.

Shen Long nodded and replied, "I have heard of him. Heaven Venerable Yuxu was active over four million years ago, and he hailed from Jinlan Realm."

"But does Taoist Friend Shen know that Heaven Venerable Yuxu did not choose to join any other forces, but instead chose to ascend to the Immortal Realm on his own? As a result, he landed on the territory of the Different Clan, and the Different Clan despises the Human Clan. Heaven Venerable Yuxu had his soul extracted and spirit refined by the Different Clan cultivators. It was only after our Jiang Family annihilated the Different Clan that we learned of this incident,"

Jiang Tianshan said with a meaningful undertone.

No matter how powerful a Heaven Venerable is, if they fall into the territory of a Different Clan, it is a road to certain death.

"Thank you for the reminder, Taoist Jiang. I will consider it carefully,"

Shen Long thanked.

"Our Gu Family is not inferior to the Yang Family. Please, Taoist Friend Shen, think thrice before acting,"

Gu Xueyun reminded.

Shen Long nodded, chatted casually for half an hour, and then Jiang Tianshan and Gu Xueyun took their leave.

Chu Buyu casually released a soundproof barrier and said, "Husband, do you plan to join other forces? I advise against it."

Shen Long smiled faintly and said, "Better to be a chicken’s head than a phoenix’s tail. We’ve gone through so much hardship to reach where we are today, becoming high-ranking members of the Qianling Sect. How could I willingly serve other forces as a guest? That sounds nice."

If it had been before, Shen Long might have considered it, but after discovering the wonders of the Myriad Beasts Tower, he certainly would not do so.

Even just by selling Spirit Beasts, Shen Long can earn Cultivation Resources; he doesn’t need to join other forces.

As for Cultivation Techniques, both he and Chu Buyu have obtained Cultivation Techniques of the Immortal Realm. In addition, he also has dozens of Immortal Yuan Stones.

Chu Buyu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I understand, Husband. You want to use their plans to recruit you to gain some information about the Immortal Realm."

Shen Long nodded and said, "Exactly. It’s not good to outright refuse them. There’s no need to make enemies with them, let them restrain each other so we can gain the greatest benefit. I haven’t cultivated to the Mahayana Late Stage yet. I do not need to consider ascending to the Immortal Realm for the time being. After this auction, I will continue my closed-door cultivation, hoping to cultivate to the Mahayana Late Stage."

Shen Peng has already cultivated to the Mahayana Mid Stage, saving Shen Long over twenty thousand years of arduous cultivation. However, he still has a long way to go to reach the Mahayana Late Stage.

Over the years, Shen Long has visited many realms and encountered over a hundred Mahayana Cultivators, the majority of whom are at the Mahayana Early Stage. Many cultivators at the Mahayana Mid Stage are stuck at a bottleneck, and a few Mahayana Cultivators have not resolved their bottleneck for over a hundred thousand years.

Chu Buyu nodded and said, "I hope we both can cultivate to the Mahayana Late Stage and successfully ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"By the way, this is the shell of the Earth-Leaving Tortoise; take it and refine it into a Xuantian Treasure. You can use this treasure to transcend the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations,"

Shen Long took out a yellow Storage Bracelet and handed it to Chu Buyu.

He practiced the Art of Transformation, and his physical body could withstand the Xuantian Treasure. Coupled with the Five Thunder Lotus, Nine Thunder Calabash Peach, Qixuan Jade Thunder Immortal Fruit, and an Eighth Rank Formation, he was very confident about transcending the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations. Chu Buyu’s physical body wasn’t as strong as Shen Long’s, so having a defense-oriented Xuantian Treasure would make her tribulation transcendence easier.
