Chapter 787: Chapter 393 Leaving the Pass
Seeing the two of them act so respectfully, Lin Yi smiled faintly. He had revealed his powerful strength precisely to change their perception and to obtain information about the Immortal Realm from them.
Although he possessed the mighty Path of Creation, he had not forgotten the effects of his title; the persuasive power of the “Good Person” title was created for this purpose.
“No need to be so courteous. You two have come from the Immortal Realm to assist the Spirit Profound Realm, you’ve had a long journey,” Lin Yi said with a casual wave of his hand.
“Not at all, it is the elder who has taken great efforts in protecting the Spirit Profound Realm,” the two True Immortals replied, bowing with their fists clenched again. They truly could not understand how this Senior Long Ao, who surely possessed at least Tai Yi Realm cultivation levels, could remain so effortlessly in the Spirit Profound Realm and even reveal his realm without being restricted by the rules of this world.
According to the messages they received, this Long Ao had arrived in the Spirit Profound Realm thousands of years ago, back when the Immortal Realm had not begun to alter the rules of this world. Even those of the Tai Yi Realm could not easily set foot in this lower Cultivation World.
Legend had it that the Cultivation World formed naturally and was not constructed by a powerful Capability using Divine Skills. Thus, altering the world’s rules to allow Immortals to descend was incredibly difficult. The Vast Heaven Immortal Palace had exerted its power and spent over a thousand years to accomplish only the descent of True Immortals.
They were filled with countless doubts, yet they dared not voice them, for the realm of this senior before them had completely surpassed their imagination. They knew that with a mere flick of his finger, or just by blowing a breath of air, he could obliterate them, body and spirit, causing their death and eradication from the Dao.
“What is your purpose for coming here?” Lin Yi asked with a smile.
“Senior, we have heard of your deeds in the Immortal Realm and specifically came to pay our respects. Nothing more,” the two True Immortals replied without hesitation. How could they dare reveal their true purpose for coming here, which was to show off their might, to someone with at least Tai Yi Realm cultivation?
“Is that so? Your timing is perfect. I do have some matters I wish to inquire about,” Lin Yi said with a smile brimming with intent.
Seeing the smile of Senior Long Ao, the two True Immortals felt their hair stand on end, suddenly overtaken by an ominous premonition, but it was already too late.
Lin Yi then utilized the effect of his Good Person title and, with the aid of the Golden Qi of Creation, altered their perception, making them completely obedient to his commands.
After inquiring about some matters, he let the two go to continue their assistance in the Spirit Profound Realm.
This dual alteration of the title and the Qi of Creation could not be detected by others. Likewise, the individuals themselves were unaware, as if it were their natural state.
Through the responses of the two True Immortals, Lin Yi clearly came to understand the information about the Immortal Realm. The realms above were divided into different Immortal Domains, each immensely vast. The Spirit Profound Realm was under the jurisdiction of the Vast Heaven Immortal Domain, with the highest authority being the Vast Heaven Immortal Palace, whose significance wasn’t much different from the Tai Xuan Dao Palace.
Every Immortal Domain typically had a Dao Ancestor. There would be competition and even war among the various Immortal Domains.
However, tens of thousands of years ago, when demon beasts from beyond the Immortal Realm domains launched an assault with extreme ferocity, it took over ten thousand years for the Human race to produce a True Immortal. Meanwhile, those Humanoid Demons with the strength of True Immortals could arise through mutual devourment among lower-realm Demon Beasts.
In the early stages of the war, several Immortal Domains fell. Later on, all the Immortal Domains united to resist the demons’ attack. Although they were still at a disadvantage, which led to the fall of some regions, they managed to stabilize the overall battlefront overall.
After hearing this information, Lin Yi shook his head. He could guess that if demons were appearing in the Spirit Profound Realm, the Immortal Realm would hardly be spared, and the war situation would likely be even more brutal.
As for why the Dao Ancestors did not intervene, the explanation was simple: there must also be Dao Ancestor-level beings among the demons, balancing each other out, making it unwise to act rashly.
Even though they were at a disadvantage in the war against the demons, the Immortal Realm still targeted Practitioners of Creation Arts by establishing an organization. The reason was simple: in the eyes of some Cultivators, the Dao was deemed more important than human lives.
Through his inquiries, Lin Yi found out that within the Vast Heaven Immortal Domain, there was a Dao Ancestor called Sunfire, who was most adept with the Sunfire Heavenly Flame and could incinerate an entire star domain in an instant.
Lin Yi did not directly inquire whether any Dao Ancestors practiced the Creation Method. The two True Immortals, mere novices in the Immortal Realm, naturally would not know such secretive information.
Even if this Sunfire Dao Ancestor did practice the Creation Method, he would certainly disguise it with other Cultivation Techniques. The Creation Method itself was mysterious, and unless specifically demonstrated, nobody could detect it.
After the two True Immortals departed, Lin Yi began preparing for his ascension.
He summoned all the Spirit Beasts that knew of his identity and announced his decision to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the coming days.
Although he had already mentioned his impending ascension before, the many Spirit Beasts still felt reluctant to part. Golden Treasure and Tiger Gate wrapped themselves around his legs, “Holy Master, we really can’t bear to see you go.”
White Painting and Big Bull, along with other Spirit Beasts, were not so dramatic, giving a simple bow, “Congratulations to the Holy Master for your ascension, may your journey be smooth.”
This caused Golden Treasure and Tiger Gate to also stand up and bow with their fists clenched.
Lin Yi nodded lightly, “Continue your cultivation well in the Spirit Profound Realm.”
Then, he turned to Zhi Ling and Fire Feather and asked, “Zhi Ling, Fire Feather, will you accompany me to the Immortal Realm or stay here?”
