Chapter 714: Chapter 669: Redemption (Additional Request for Monthly Tickets)_1

Earth Immortal Realm.

Triple Realm Mountain.

This mountain, located at the junction between the human race and the Demon Clan and Monster Clan, is frequently the site of both major and minor battles, yet it is also where treasures coveted by countless cultivators often appear.

As a result, the number of high-level cultivators in this area is significantly greater than in the other 99 territories.

Moreover, there are many allied forces of the human race stationed here on a daily basis.

At this moment, within a camp spanning over ten thousand miles...

A towering and vast jade platform stood quietly.

This jade platform had nine levels, each inscribed with countless patterns of strange and rare alien beasts and birds...

It was the renowned ’Welcoming Immortal Platform’!

Every Ascending Immortal from the Lower Realm would be drawn to this platform to ascend upon it.

Unless they were the unlucky ones caught in a Void Storm, there were hardly any that slipped through the net...

On this day.

The nine-level jade platform suddenly roared to life, lighting up with array patterns one after another.

The Void shattered, opening a massive spatial rift.

A few figures tumbled out from within the rift, disheveled, forming into the shapes of one man and three women—Fang Xi, Liu Xu, Fairy Yunxi, and Xiao Qing.

’Compared to the "Treasures of All Heavens" where one can move with just a thought... this Ascension Platform’s pathway is truly... a trap!’

Fang Xi expressionlessly flicked a few magic spells onto his clothing, making them pristine once again. He also spared a glance at the stowaways inside the Heaven Treasure before inwardly making his remark.

Ascending via the Ascension Platform still comes with its risks!

When he and the three women began to ascend, all seemed peaceful, but soon they encountered mishaps one after another.

First, they ran into a pack of strange and ferocious beasts roaming the Void, each with a cultivation higher than Transcendent God, causing the four to flee in disarray.

Then halfway through their journey, they encountered a void storm!

Although it was just a minor storm, the three women came close to perishing.

If Fang Xi had not acted at the crucial moment, unleashing a Phoenix Seal Talisman he had carefully refined, except for Xiao Qing, who had a special talent and might have managed to escape with her life, the others would have all been doomed!

And following this minor Void Storm, just as they were about to enter the Earth Immortal Realm, they experienced another large-scale Void Storm forming!

Frightened, they spared no secret skills to increase their speed in the Void, finally making it into the Earth Immortal Realm just before the large-scale Void Storm fully formed!

’As expected... Daqing and the Land Mountain Turtle are both unharmed, since they are my spiritual pets... and Demon Lord Chi Lian is fine too, after all, he’s a Transcendent God.’

Fang Xi’s Divine Thought swept over the treasures of the Cave Heaven, and seeing that the monster beasts he had intentionally not contracted but awakened their Spiritual Wisdom had all turned to dust, he fell silent.

To sneak into the Earth Immortal Realm was not as simple as imagined.

In contrast, this showcased the true power of the "Treasures of All Heavens".

In the All Heavens and Multiverse, one may traverse anywhere!

By this time, the complexions of the three women were still somewhat pale, as if they had not yet fully recovered from the aftermath of ascension.

Yet when Fang Xi released his Divine Thought, he could already see the dense ranks of black-armored soldiers outside the nine-level jade platform.

These soldiers were actually cultivators, most with Core Formation cultivation and not a few Nascent Souls amongst them. Their armor was even more exquisite, seemingly officers of sorts.

"Amitabha!"

Accompanied by a Buddhist chant, a glint of golden light appeared, rushing from the ground, with petals of golden blossom floating around.

Fang Xi lightly pinched one of the petals, feeling it contained much information, including the language and script of the Earth Immortal Realm.

The three women’s expressions also lightened up quite a bit, as they each caught a golden petal and instantly understood several of the most common languages and scripts used by the human race in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"This poor monk, Hua Yan, was ordered to guard the ’Welcoming Immortal Platform’. I have seen all the fellow Daoists," said the golden light as it landed, revealing a bald monk clad in moon-white robes, holding a Vajra Scepter adorned with nine golden jiao dragons.

Seeing his cultivation, he was clearly at the Perfect Transcendent God stage.

Fairy Yunxi and the other women exchanged glances and eventually turned to Fang Xi.

Naturally, Fang Xi stepped forward, "We are merely acquaintances from the Lower Realm who, fearing the dangers of the Void, decided to ascend together... Master Hua Yan’s Brahman Sect cultivation is truly exquisite, even enabling us to instantly understand the language and script of the Earth Immortal Realm..."

"It is merely a small Divine Skill of ’Mind to Mind’ from the Brahman Sect... in the Earth Immortal Realm, there are several talismans that can make an ordinary fool become extremely knowledgable in an instant."

Master Hua Yan said with a smile, "You must have come from the Azure Dragon Star Territory. I won’t inquire further, but please cooperate by leaving a mark of your magic power to receive your identity tokens..."

"Azure Dragon Star Territory?"

Fang Xi was somewhat surprised, having thought that after ascending, he would automatically be identified as a cultivator who ascended from the Mortal World.

Seeming to notice his curiosity, Master Hua Yan explained, "If it were thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, when Changqingzi was responsible for Triple Realm Mountain, fellow Daoists would have needed to confirm the small realm you originated from. There was a special Welcoming Immortal Platform for this, which caused dissatisfaction among many cultivators... Later, when Wu Xingzi took charge, the rules were softened a bit, and since I from the Brahman Sect, Jin Gangzi, have been in charge for a millennium, we now only distinguish based on the four cardinal star territories, and it’s not particularly necessary to specify the small realms one is from..."

"Changqingzi? Jin Gangzi? Wu Xingzi?"

Fairy Yunxi seemed somewhat puzzled.

Though she had not heard of the name Changqingzi, she felt that these three must be significant figures in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"These three are among the Five Sons of the human race... The Five Sons are the highest-ranked cultivators of our human race, bearing the fortune of our clan."

Master Hua Yan answered with a face full of envy and fervor.

He took out a bowl, gently tapped it, and a Brahma Sound Chant emerged, "You are fortunate to have arrived at a good time, the Tri-clan War has just ended not too long ago, and currently, there are only small-scale skirmishes, no major battles... Now, please input a trace of magic power into this bowl, so this poor monk can create your identity verifications..."

"Why is this necessary?"

Liu Xu asked.

Of course, she could very well be pretending, for with the Essence Soul of a Heavenly Maiden, she was not completely ignorant of the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Everyone... This Ascension Platform and Welcoming Immortal Platform can enable those whose Transcendence is not yet perfect to ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm. The materials required are extremely rare, and they offer a great favor towards everyone’s path of cultivation..."

Hua Yan said earnestly, "To use the Ascension Platform for ascension entails incurring karma... It would be better for everyone to settle this karma with us if you don’t want your Dao to have deficiencies in the future."

"Then how should we settle it?"

Fang Xi asked.

"During the Tri-clan War, anyone who has ascended couldn’t leave and had to be enlisted into the great army, joining the battle against the Demonic Beasts."

"Fortunately, there is no great war happening at present, and the pressure on the Three Realms Mountain is not significant. Those of you who do not wish to be enlisted in the great army only need to offer a certain ’service’..." Hua Yan said.

Although this person appeared dignified and imposing, there was a hint of an indescribable expression when mentioning ’service’.

"It makes sense to pay for the use of the Ascension Platform. How much ’service’ is required?"

Fairy Yunxi asked.

She was also an old ancestor of a sect from the Lower Realm, having plundered the Eastern Sea Cultivation World for a thousand years and followed Fang Xi through battles in the south and north, amassing quite a fortune.

"All is negotiable..."

Hua Yan smiled and took out several jade slips, distributing them to the Transcendent Gods present, "If any of you possess the Spiritual Objects listed in these jade slips, they can be exchanged for freedom. If we were to calculate using top-notch Spirit Stones, it would be roughly a thousand or so, which is also passable..."

"A thousand top-notch Spirit Stones?" Fairy Yunxi exclaimed in surprise.

She had thought her wealth was vast, but it turned out to be insignificant compared to this...

Fang Xi was unconcerned and perused the content of the jade slip with his Divine Consciousness, seeing a list of extremely rare Spiritual Objects:

Nine Nether Yellow Spring Crystal, Life-and-Death Flower, Flame Profound Stone...

’So the Lower Realm produces so many rare Spiritual Objects?’

He felt a surge of joy and made a mental note of them.

For the Earth Immortal Realm, obtaining these Spiritual Objects from the Lower Realm was extremely difficult, and one could only try their luck with the Ascending Immortals.

But he was different!

He was certainly going to engage in trade between the realms!

Later in the jade slip, Fang Xi not unexpectedly, saw the name ’Sun Gold Spirit.’

’The cost of redemption is frighteningly high... It seems they don’t really want to let these Ascending Immortals go.’

"These Spiritual Objects are exceedingly rare, I’m afraid I can’t afford them."

Fang Xi returned the jade slip and sighed.

"Sir, you need not be disheartened. Join our ’Sky Brahman Army’, and in just a thousand years, you can gain your freedom," Hua Yan said with a smile.

Fang Xi feigned helplessness and by sending a trace of Magic Power into the bowl.

The bowl roared and soon after, a golden leaf flew out.

The leaf was densely covered with Ancient Seal Script.

"May I have the honor to know your esteemed name?"

"Fang Xi!"

Fang Xi reported his real name with ease.

He often used titles like Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master, Yun Jiezi, and Qing Hezi when mingling outside, and his real name rarely appeared. Even Human Cultivators from the Lower Realm, if they were not particularly close to him, might not know it.

"So it’s Mr. Fang..."

Hua Yan performed a courtesy and handed the golden leaf to Fang Xi, "This is proof of the military rank of ’Captain’ in our army. Please keep it safe."

He then turned to Liu Xu and the others. Fairy Yunxi and Liu Xu each stepped forward, injected their Magic Power, and received the same ’Captain’ rank.

When it was Xiao Qing’s turn, no sooner had she injected a trace of Magic Power into the bowl, it began to roar.

A golden light flickered, and the ethereal form of a majestic Green Fire Luan appeared.

"A fifth-order member of the Monster Clan?"

Hua Yan’s eyes widened as countless Cultivators around the Welcoming Immortal Platform chanted Buddhist names.

Suddenly a massive golden swastika emerged in the Void, bearing down from above.

Even though Xiao Qing was a Transcendent God Monster cultivator, she found it extremely difficult to deal with the golden swastika, "Master..."

"This bird is my Spiritual Pet. May I ask what the issue is?"

Fang Xi immediately stepped forward to address the situation.

"A Spiritual Pet?"

Hua Yan’s expression softened slightly, "Our human race, after all, is at odds with the Demon and Monster Clans. Although many Cultivators have contracted Spiritual Beasts, there was one instance when a fifth-order Profound Turtle ascended with a human Cultivator to our realm, caused a great deal of trouble. We later learned it was actually a wild Transcendent God Monster cultivator... Since then, our scrutiny has inevitably become more cautious."

He formed a Magic Spell and cast it upon Xiao Qing.

A mark of blood immediately appeared on Xiao Qing’s forehead.

"It is indeed a Spiritual Beast under a Cultivator’s Blood Pact... However, even though this Monster cultivator has achieved Transcendent God status, it cannot be given the rank of ’Captain’ in the Sky Brahman Army; it can only be registered as a mount for Sir..." Hua Yan explained with a smile.
