Chapter 952 – The Nine Realms of the Immortals
Chapter 952 – The Nine Realms of the Immortals
Only to see the bubbles in the Realm Lake getting more and more numerous and larger.
It didn’t take long before two huge bubbles rose up in the air and flew out from the boundary lake.
In the next moment, the two huge bubbles exploded without warning, revealing the figures of Xu Chunniang and Little White.
Looking at the unfamiliar sight, and the two cultivators full of immortal aura, Xu Chunniang had some guesses in her heart.
It must be that this was the Immortal Realm.
Little White was still a bit unresponsive, not long ago, he was still frantically sucking in Immortal Qi, but in the twinkling of an eye, he had arrived here from the Realm Lake.
The round-faced Immortal Servant revealed a friendly smile towards Xu Chuniang and Xiao Bai, ”Welcome to the Immortal Realm, Ascended Ones, we are the Immortal Servants who guard the Realm Lake.
I know that you are new to the world and are bound to be curious about the Immortal Realm, but please be patient and wait for a few moments, an immortal ambassador will come later to guide you and inform you of everything about the Immortal Realm.”
As soon as the words fell, a white-clothed man stepped into the void from afar, precisely the Immortal Envoy that the round-faced Immortal Servant had spoken of.
The white-clothed man was very fast, and in just the blink of an eye, he arrived near the boundary lake.
He looked towards Xu Chuniang and Little White and smiled faintly.
“Greetings, two ascended ones, I am the Immortal Envoy in charge of guiding the two of you, Evergreen, you can just call me by my name, I wonder how you two are addressed?”
Xu Chunniang returned the salute, “I am Xu Chunniang, he is Xiao Bai.”
“So it’s Immortal Friend Xu and Immortal Friend Xiaobai, the two of you crossed the boundary lake together, this is not a rare situation, could it be that the two of you already knew each other when you were in the lower realm?”
Evergreen’s smiling gaze swept over Xu Chunniang and Xiao Bai, and did not make anyone resentful.
Xu Chunniang nodded lightly, “It was just a fluke, successfully crossing the lightning tribulation.”
Evergreen did not ask any more questions and introduced the vast immortal world.
“The entire Immortal Realm, from bottom to top, has a total of nine heavens, I don’t know if the two Immortal friends have ever heard rumors of the nine heavens when they were in the lower realms?”
“Slightly heard of it, but the lower realm is closed to news, we don’t know much about the Nine Heavens, so I’d like to ask Immortal Friend Chang to enlighten us.”
“I can’t talk about giving advice, bringing you two to familiarize yourself with the Immortal Realm is my duty.”
Chang Qing smiled, “The Immortal Realm’s nine heavens correspond to the nine realms, this first heaven is called Zong Dong Tian, a place where human immortals converge.”
“Human Immortals?”
Xu Chuniang keenly captured this word, “This Human Immortal, it shouldn’t just refer to the human race, right?”
Evergreen nodded, “This Human Immortal? it refers to the cultivation realm rather than the race.
The two of you, in the lower realm, are Mahayana cultivators who have perfected their cultivation, but once you have crossed the lightning tribulation and stepped into the Immortal Realm, you are only the most ordinary of Human Immortals.”
Xu Chuniang murmured, this first heaven was the lowest of the nine heavens, so the Human Immortal that corresponded to it was naturally the lowest in cultivation and rank amongst all the Immortals.
Seemingly guessing what she was thinking, Evergreen smiled.
“Actually, the Human Immortal, is not the existence with the lowest cultivation in the Immortal World, besides the Human Immortal, there are also many loose Immortals and Half Immortals in the Immortal World.
They are either Immortals who have failed to cross the threshold or are the descendants of Immortals who have reproduced, if there is no opportunity, these loose Immortals and half Immortals, will live in Zongdang Heaven for generations.”
Xu Chuniang nodded lightly, “Above the Zongdiao Heaven, there are eight heavens, so what are the eight realms above the Human Immortals?”
“There are a total of nine realms in the realm of Immortals, but in truth, there are only seven realms that can truly be arrived at through cultivation, and as for the last two realms, they will always only exist in legends.”
Evergreen smiled and shook his head, “For us ordinary people, to be able to become an Immortal King and often reside in the fourth heaven is an extremely rare thing.” Chang Qing did not sell the story and told Xu Chuniang about the nine realms of the Immortal Realm.
Above the Human Immortal Realm was the Earth Immortal, and above the Earth Immortal was the Heavenly Immortal.
Once one’s cultivation broke through the Heavenly Immortal realm, one could become an Immortal King and settle in the Four Heavens.
Above the Immortal King, the fifth and sixth heavens corresponded to the Golden Immortal and the Dala Golden Immortal respectively.
The seventh heaven, on the other hand, was the territory of the five Immortal Emperors.
“The five Immortal Emperors are existences that we can only look up to, they have ruled the Immortal Realm for a very long time, as long as a million years.”
Evergreen’s eyes revealed yearning and reverence, “Some things are not secrets, you will know if you stay in the Immortal Realm for some more time.
The Immortal Realm is actually not peaceful, we have to prevent the Demon Race’s side from making small moves, and we also have to guard against the raid of the Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demons, it is the five Immortal Emperors who sit in the Immortal Realm, which makes it possible for us to live a peaceful life.”
Xu Chuniang nodded thoughtfully, “You just said that there are a total of nine realms in the Immortal Realm, and the last two realms, even the five Immortal Emperors are unable to reach them?”
“I know, those who are able to cultivate to perfection from the resource-poor lower realms are all those who have great fortune and perseverance.
But the Immortal Realm is different from the Lower Realm, when cultivation reaches the depths, it’s hard to advance any further than a hundred feet, and how many astonishingly talented ascended masters can’t even reach the step of Heavenly Immortal.”
Chang Qing gave Xu Chuniang a complicated look, he was also an ascender and knew very well how Xu Chuniang felt.
But this was the truth, not only the five Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm, but even the seven Demon Ancestors of the True Demon Realm, and the High Priestesses among the Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demons, were never able to take that step again.
It was as if the limit of power in the world stopped here.
After suppressing his complicated thoughts, Evergreen continued.
“The realm of the five Immortal Emperors, along with the seven Devil Ancestors of the True Devil Realm and the High Priestesses among the Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demons, are all at the seventh level of the Saint realm.
Above the Sage Realm, there is also the Divine Human Realm and the Supreme Human Realm, only these two realms, even the five Immortal Emperors can’t arrive at them, and ordinary ascended beings like us, we don’t have to talk about them.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t pursue any further, she knew very well that the Saint realm and whatnot was too far away from her.
As a newly ascended Human Immortal, figuring out the situation in the Immortal Realm, quickly adapting to life in the Immortal Realm, and searching for Little Orange’s whereabouts was what mattered most to her.
Evergreen was very talkative, leading Xu Chuniang and Little White on a tour of the first Zongdang Heaven, explaining very carefully at each place they visited.
“Zongdang Heaven is chaotic, especially chaotic, although the entire Lower Three Realms are not peaceful, but Zongdang Heaven is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, with all sorts of loose immortals individual half-mortals mixed in, and all sorts of strange and bizarre things.”
Seeing that Chang Qing knew ZongDongTian like the back of her hand, Xu ChunNiang couldn’t help but look at him a little more, “Could it be that Immortal Friend Chang also resides in ZongDongTian?”
“That’s already in the past, I’m also an ascender, people like us who are newly ascended to the Immortal Realm, if we can’t be appreciated by the Immortal King, we can only stay in Zongdang Heaven.
Only when their cultivation breaks through to the Earth Immortal realm will they be allowed to reside in the Second Heavens for a long time.”
Thinking of the past, thousands of emotions rose in Evergreen’s heart.
When he first came to the Immortal Realm, his heart was filled with grandeur and ambition, vowing to make his way in the Immortal Realm tomorrow.
However, tens of thousands of years had passed, and he had long since recognized the reality.
To be able to achieve the body of a Celestial Immortal, and to work under the hand of the Immortal King as an ambassador of the Immortal Guides, is already a very good fortune.
