BXBX NOVEL Chapter 586: 586: Entering the Spirit Realm_1
As for this matter, Qin Changqing was merely curious.
Within the Immortal World, the descent of Immortals to the lower realm was a rare occurrence.
Moreover, being as exceptionally gifted as he was, Qin Changqing naturally had to guard against being noticed, which might lead to others harboring covetous intentions towards him.
Though the likelihood of this happening was small, it was not impossible.
In the following period, the news about Immortals from Xiashou Star descending to the lower realm spread increasingly wildly through Xuanyuan Immortal City.
Descending from the Immortal World was extraordinarily difficult.
Even a Golden Immortal would find descending as challenging as reaching the heavens.
But that didn’t mean it was absolutely impossible.
If one’s power wasn’t formidable enough, descending on their own was out of the question.
Even with the power of the Taiyi Immortal King, descending wasn’t as simple as just deciding to do so.
If one wished to descend, they had to obtain a Realm Order from the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm.
With a Realm Order in hand, one would then go to the Immortal City of the Lower Immortal Realm and, through the use of specific Immortal Artifacts, could finally descend.
The cost of obtaining a Realm Order was considerable, and most ordinary Immortals could not afford it. Moreover, even if one could afford the cost, without a legitimate reason, it wasn’t guaranteed that they would be granted one.
After obtaining the Realm Order, one still had to exert their own effort to activate the Immortal Artifacts.
A considerable amount of time was also needed for preparation. Merely searching for the Spirit Domain where one wished to descend, if not willing to pay a significant price, would take a lot of time.
If one wanted to descend quickly, it was feasible, but that required even stronger Immortals to intervene, and the cost would be much greater.
Overall, for the vast majority of Immortals, descending to the lower world presented considerable challenges.
Of course, a Taiyi Immortal King, even without using a Realm Order, could send someone to descend, but not using a Realm Order came with many unknown risks.
The Immortal World’s management over Immortals descending was extremely strict.
Unlike in the Devil Immortal Realm, where many Demon Immortals invade various Spirit Domains.
This type of invasion didn’t mean they personally attacked those Spirit Domains. Instead, they cultivated and supported Demon Cultivators within these domains, strengthening the power of the Devil Immortal Realm.
The point that ascending cultivators are stronger applies to Demon Immortals as well.
For Demon Immortals to travel from the Devil Immortal Realm to the various great Spirit Domains was also very difficult.
Even more challenging than for Immortals of the Immortal Realm to descend to the lower world.
These Spirit Domains were all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Laws of the Immortal Realm.
Enshrouded by the brilliance of the Immortal Realm.
Unless it’s a domain that has become a vassal of the Devil Immortal Realm, completely inhabited by Demon Cultivators.
Such domains are called Demon Realms.
They are domains belonging to the Devil Immortal Realm, and there are quite a few of them.
Hua Feiyan managed to repeatedly confront Qin Changqing in the underground of the Vast Wave Realm because an Ancient Demon facilitated it.
Moreover, that place was underground; the Ancient Demon had lurked there for who knows how many years. That particular small celestial territory had nearly become a Demon Realm.
If she attempted to surge from the underground to the Vast Wave Realm, she would only be able to stay in the Vast Wave Realm for a very short time, and then would face the challenge of returning to the Devil Immortal Realm.
Of course, even if the time was very limited, a Demon Immortal could still inflict terrible damage on a realm.
They could even turn a realm into a wasteland.
However, unless the Demon Immortal was exceptionally cruel or revelled in slaughter and bloodlust, most Demon Immortals would not engage in such meaningless acts.
It’s not that there were no such Demon Immortals, but typically even if such Demon Immortals wanted to go to the Spirit Domains, it wasn’t certain they would be able to.
From the news that has emerged so far, the objective of the Immortals dispatched by Xiashou Star is still unclear.
The number of Immortals that Xiashou Star sent out is indeed quite substantial.
In Xuanyuan Immortal City, there are more than a dozen Immortals from Xiashou Star.
For these dozens of Immortals, their important task over the past few centuries has been to activate the Immortal Artifact designed for the lower realms, infusing it bit by bit with energy.
This Immortal Artifact is not incapable of being activated quickly.
However, the consumption required for rapid activation is too terrifying, and using this method can conserve energy to the greatest extent.
These Immortals could infuse energy while simultaneously cultivating their own strength.
This is also why they had to make preparations in advance.
Additionally, another important task for them over these centuries has likely been to search for the Spirit Domains they wish to descend to in the lower realms.
Within the top ten Immortal Cities of the Immortal World, there are Ascension Pools.
Each Ascension Pool corresponds to a very large number of Spirit Domains.
Consider this: even though only a few thousand cultivators become Immortal every one hundred thousand years, in a thriving Spirit Domain, there may be only one or two cultivators ascending every one hundred thousand years.
The saying of ‘Three Thousand Spirit Domains’ is no exaggeration.
Just the thriving Spirit Domains alone number more than three thousand.
Not to mention the countless medium and small Spirit Domains.
Time continued to pass.
Over two hundred years later, finally, Tao Yao learned some news. “Husband, a friend of mine has helped me gather some information. The reason that Xiashou Star obtained the Descent Token this time is that the Immortal King of Xiashou Star, in order to receive Heavenly Favor, proactively sent people to resolve the risks in the Spirit Domains invaded by the Devil Immortal Realm,” said Tao Yao.
Tao Yao said.
“Heavenly Favor?”
Qin Changqing was able to understand these two words.
“It’s something along the lines of virtue and Fortune. For the Taiyi Immortal King to advance further is extremely difficult. If he has Heavenly Favor, the chance will be somewhat greater,” explained Tao Yao.
Tao Yao said.
Qin Changqing asked, “Which Spirit Domain will they go to?”
“Unclear. The Devil Immortal Realm has invaded quite a few Spirit Domains in recent years. The Spirit Domain where you reside is also a possibility,” answered Tao Yao.
Could it also be the Spirit Domain where Qin Changqing resided?
Indeed, Qin Changqing’s Spirit Domain had also been invaded by the Devil Immortal Realm.
But… he could resolve it himself.
“Based on the timing, the descent of their Immortals is exactly within the period when the Spiritual Realm Passage of the Spirit Domain you reside in opens. Hence, there is a certain possibility that they could come to the Spirit Domain you are in,” Tao Yao deduced.
“In that case, after resolving the issues in your Spirit Domain, they could also enter the Spiritual Realm through the Spiritual Realm Passage and thus travel to other Spirit Domains, maximizing the value of their descent this time,” she further speculated.
Tao Yao’s speculation was rather similar to Qin Changqing’s own.
This meant that although the destination of Xiashou Star this time was yet undecided, there was a notable chance that they might come to the Spirit Domain where Qin Changqing was.
Of course, they might go to other Spirit Domains as well.
Before the Immortals of Xiashou Star descended, no one would know where they might end up.
“Husband, even if the Immortals are well-prepared and have a Descent Token, they can’t stay in the Spirit Domain for too long. If their target is the Spirit Domain where you are, it’s not too much of a concern. After they deal with the Demon Cultivators and repair the Spirit Domain, they will leave. As for Xiaoxiao and the others, if you hide them in advance, there will be no problem,” said Tao Yao.
Tao Yao said.
Qin Changqing responded with a noncommittal sound.
“It’s not really a big problem.”
After communicating with Tao Yao, Qin Changqing thought to himself.
Even if the goal of the Xiashou Star was his Spirit Domain, it would not matter much.
If their only purpose was to resolve the issues caused by the invasion of the Devil Immortal Realm, it would actually save Qin Changqing some trouble.
Qin Changqing only needed to hide the female Demon Cultivators among his people.
As for the Phoenix Immortal in the Spiritual Realm, he still had to deal with it himself.
Even if Xiashou Star had other hidden agendas, it would not be a problem for him.
