Chapter 1088: Chapter 1087: Vomiting Blood

About half an hour later, it was finally Yusuf Zuck’s turn. After paying a hundred million Middle Grade Immortal Spirit Stones, he successfully entered the cavern.

The cavern was the passage to the Element World, and whether it was the Element World or the Immortal Realm, if they wanted to descend to the Lower Realm, they had to come through this passage; there was no other way.

The passage was long but very bright inside because both sides were lined with Luminous Pearls, and it was also very clean, similar to a corridor.

Yusuf Zuck followed the crowd ahead and, after walking for six or seven minutes, arrived at a spacious dome. Looking forward from this point in the dome, a scene that Yusuf Zuck was familiar with appeared.

Inside the dome, there were two spinning black holes, one sucking upwards and the other sucking downwards.

"This..." Yusuf Zuck was taken aback, recalling how, years ago, he had mistakenly entered the Dark World and ultimately escaped through an unknown black hole, which had transported him to the Origin Star System.

Now, this so-called passage was nearly identical to the black hole he had seen in the Dark World back then: cylindrical in shape and swirling with black mist.

"Swish, swish, swish—" While he stood there stunned, many people rushed into the black hole that was spinning upward and then vanished in a flash.

"Shhh—" Yusuf Zuck knew that the upward one was the entrance to the Element World, while the downward one was the portal for descending from the Element World.

"This world is truly wondrous!" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed, shaking his head before also plunging into the black hole.

Accompanied by the rotation and the suction, a few breaths later, he arrived at the so-called Element World.

Upon reaching the Element World, he discovered that the Spiritual Energy here was indeed a hundred times denser than in the Mainland, comparable to absorbing a Middle Grade Immortal Spirit Stone with just one breath.

This world was also an endless expanse of the Mainland, with topographical features similar to those of the Mainland, but with an abundance of Spiritual Energy.

The crowd that entered the Element World scattered, and Yusuf Zuck flew directly south without a specific destination in mind, while also using Telekinesis to communicate with Water Master.

"If I want to go from the Element World to the Immortal Realm, how do I do that?" Yusuf Zuck asked directly.

"You need an ’Emperor’s Order’ first, that’s the first point. Everyone entering the Immortal Realm needs to have an Emperor’s Order, otherwise, they cannot come and go."

"Then where do I get an Emperor’s Order?" Yusuf Zuck asked, perplexed.

"Every sect in the Element World has Emperor’s Orders. An Emperor’s Order is a Token, and although rare, it can be bought or exchanged. They are available on the black market in the Element World."

"Oh? They can be bought?" Yusuf Zuck was momentarily stunned but then realized that it made sense. It was like the unofficial channels in the mortal world; if you want to pull strings and pay to land a civil servant position, it’s an underground deal, just like the transactions on the black market here!

As long as nobody investigates you, you’re considered an official civil servant.

"Once you have the Emperor’s Order, you can head to the gate of the Immortal Realm, which is located above the South Sea in the Element World. Ascend from the South Sea, and you will enter a sea of clouds. Pass through the clouds, and you will see a large gate. Show your Emperor’s Order, and you can enter directly."

"However, the Immortal Realm is not very large. According to legend, the Immortal Realm is merely a blessed land, and it possesses a special kind of Spiritual Energy known as ’Virtue Energy.’ It is said that this Virtue Energy is essential for Ascension to the Heavenly Realm to achieve divinity."

Water Master recounted this in detail, seemingly very familiar with the Immortal Realm.

"The Immortal Realm is small and mostly inhabited by major sects and noble Clans; there are very few common residents, and there are no towns or cities. It is all Immortal Mountains, and those nobles live or cultivate there—it’s rather dull."

"In fact, those nobles living in the Immortal Realm frequently descend to the Element World or the Mainland, since the Element World is livelier than the Immortal Realm. Hence, in the Element World, there are many progeny of Great Emperors, grandchildren of Great Emperors, sons of the Immortal Venerates, or relatives of various major sects."

"I understand now. For us, aside from the Virtue Energy, the Immortal Realm doesn’t have much appeal. It is small and the important figures reside there solely to absorb the Virtue Energy!"

"The master is indeed wise,"

"but the Immortal Realm is also the most magical place. It has countless formidable fortresses and is rich in both natural and man-made wonders. There are also some mysterious locations that are not accessible to just anyone."

"Moreover, in the Immortal Realm, anyone you encounter is likely to have a background and a power base, so you must never offend anyone lightly!" Water Elder advised.

"Do you know about Linglong Pond?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked.

"Linglong Pond?" Water Elder was startled for a moment, "This humble servant has heard of it. It is said that the pool can recast an Immortal Body. As long as the Nascent Soul remains intact, entering the Linglong Pond can allow one to re-condense a physical body."

"However, this humble servant does not know where Linglong Pond is located—it’s only hearsay and seems to be more of a legend, after all, I have never been to the Immortal Realm!"

"Shh!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, "Alright, I understand. Continue with your cultivation." As he said this, he had already entered inside an Immortal Mountain. After investigating and finding no one around, he also entered Blue Sea and Cloud Sky!

"It’s time to advance!" Yusuf Zuck knew he had to advance because this Element World was full of experts without end, and there were likely even Immortal Emperors residing or traveling through it. If he did not advance and grow stronger, he would only be bullied.

"Twelve Superior Immortal Spirit Stones," Yusuf Zuck decided with determination, gritting his teeth, laying all twelve Superior Immortal Spirit Stones in front of him at once.

The reason he had kept the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones until now was that he didn’t know what kind of opponents he would face in the future, and he intended to keep a low profile—after all, he wasn’t invincible, and there would always be someone better out there.

But now, having plunged into this world where the strong prevail, if he did not become more powerful, he wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. So it might as well all be used up.

"Let’s begin." He reached out and grabbed a Superior Immortal Spirit Stone, which exploded in his hand, the vast Spiritual Power directly entering the depths of his soul and absorbed by the Purple Blood Beads!

However, to his great surprise, after absorbing the energy of this Superior Immortal Spirit Stone, he discovered that the thirty-seventh Blood Bead only flickered a dozen times or so and did not activate!

"Damn it, what’s going on? What’s going on?" He panicked, having seen each Superior Immortal Spirit Stone activate a Blood Bead before. Why was it that the thirty-seventh didn’t work? Why did it only make the thirty-seventh Blood Bead flicker a few times?

"Damn it, can’t you stop playing games with me?" Yusuf Zuck cursed, managing a bitter laugh. The Purple Blood Beads were always unpredictable.

He remembered that in the past, purple pearls could activate Purple Blood Beads, and later he had found purple pearls himself, but they didn’t work anymore!

The situation was exactly the same as in the past—it seemed to be ineffective.

But there was still an effect because the thirty-seventh bead flickered more than a dozen times. This indicated that the energy of one bead was insufficient to activate the thirty-seventh, so perhaps two might be enough!

"Continue, continue, may heaven bless me!" Yusuf Zuck grabbed another Superior Immortal Spirit Stone, which also exploded upon contact.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz~" The thirty-seventh Purple Blood Bead buzzed as if it was about to burst, but it did not activate even after absorbing all the energy.

"Pfft..." Yusuf Zuck nearly vomited blood. Even two Superior Immortal Spirit Stones hadn’t activated it?

"Damn it!" Yusuf Zuck was losing his mind, he then grabbed two more Superior Immortal Spirit Stones at once. He was determined to see if four Superior Immortal Spirit Stones could do it.

"Whoosh~" Those two Superior Immortal Spirit Stones also shattered, their energy rushing into the thirty-seventh Purple Blood Bead.

And yet...and yet...the thirty-seventh Purple Blood Bead continued to flicker, seeming on the verge of bursting, but it just wouldn’t burst open or activate!

"Ah, ah, are you playing with me?" Yusuf Zuck trembled with rage, then suddenly grabbed the remaining eight Superior Immortal Spirit Stones all at once!

"Boom~" The energy of the eight stones surged into the Purple Blood Bead, and finally, the thirty-seventh Purple Blood Bead opened!

But...at that moment, Yusuf Zuck did not show the slightest bit of excitement. Instead, he looked downright ugly, because the unpredictable nature of the Purple Blood Beads had shattered his dream of quickly gaining power!
