Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 244 - 158: Orthodoxy Earth Immortal
"Agreed!" Cultivator Shen Yu said eagerly.
The other Shen Yus naturally had no objections.
Afterwards, Cultivator Shen Yu even decisively poured all his four billion Gray Mist into it!
In one go, he compressed the consumption of Gray Mist needed for world traversal down to about one thirtieth of what a person would normally carry.
If only he had more Gray Mist, Cultivator Shen Yu would have wanted to keep compressing.
After all, for a long time to come, the many powerful beings in his world who wish to break through will probably have to come here!
Traveling to other worlds for support will also require coming here.
Only after handling this series of affairs did Cultivator Shen Yu finally let out a long breath, alleviating somewhat the oppressive mood of the day.
Though the apocalypse would remain harsh, at least they were somewhat prepared.
He glanced at the other Shen Yus and found each of them busy arranging things in their own worlds; Martial Artist Shen Yu and Wizard Shen Yu had even started transporting Extraordinary Power—that is, Primordial Energy and Magic Power—from various worlds into their own territories.
After contemplating for a while, Cultivator Shen Yu decided not to waste any time.
His figure instantly returned to his own world, and he immediately sent a message to his master, Qingfeng True Master.
This method of messaging was far less convenient than technological communication, consuming much energy and having high delays, so Shen Yu only informed him that there were matters concerning Demon Cultivators to report.
And so, Shen Yu soared into the sky, rushing swiftly towards the location of the Mingyun Immortal Sect.
This world was indeed vast beyond measure.
Far surpassing the size that any normal Life Planet could attain.
Cultivator Shen Yu used a personal terminal from the Interstellar World for a simple calculation, and found that the surface area of this planet was roughly one hundred and eighty-three times larger than his previous life's Mother Star!
Yet the gravity was only 1.3 times greater.
It could only be said that although the parameters of the material world hadn't changed, Extraordinary Power still exerted considerable influence over its characteristics.
The influence on this planet extended far beyond just its size and gravity.
Although its regions were incredibly vast, three kinds of "forbidden zones" stretched across it, dividing the world into dozens of distinct areas.
Namely: Lightningstorm Forbidden Zone, Storm Forbidden Zone, and Flame Forbidden Zone.
These three forbidden zones weave across the entire world, and are extraordinarily dangerous.
Even True Masters cannot fly across them.
Only Earth Immortals can travel freely back and forth.
In addition, there's another characteristic—the closer to the forbidden zones, the stronger the Spirit Vein becomes.
The Mingyun Immortal Sect was established precisely at the intersection of a Lightningstorm Forbidden Zone and a Flame Forbidden Zone.
The density of Spiritual Energy here is said to be the highest in this entire region!
This is what has sustained the Mingyun Immortal Sect's strength for tens of thousands of years.
It's no exaggeration to say that within this region, the top five Immortal Sects—the latter four combined—are only comparable to one Mingyun.
When Cultivator Shen Yu first learned of the Mingyun Immortal Sect, he was somewhat drawn towards it.
His own little temple was nice, but surely that place was lively and full of intrigue.
For a transmigrator brimming with curiosity and anticipation for the Immortal Cultivation World, it was indeed a powerful temptation.
However, even Shen Yu himself hadn't imagined that his first journey to the Mingyun Immortal Sect would be a dramatic flight across mountains.
The near ten-thousand-li journey could only be made in a day by a True Master.
Cultivator Shen Yu sped on, finally arriving just as the sun set and the myriad stars appeared overhead.
Even from afar, he was a little awestruck.
For the entire Mingyun Immortal Sect was strikingly divided into upper and lower sections!
Below were endless towering mountains; countless massive chains extended from the mountains, linking one after another into the clouds, where there floated an equally immense region of mountains!
"The Mingyun Immortal Sect is truly built in the clouds—a sect above the clouds!" Cultivator Shen Yu was again overwhelmed by the splendor and prosperity of Immortal Cultivation Civilization.
Those mountains upon the clouds were clearly not natural.
They were sustained by tremendous Mana.
Each chain was in fact a Spiritual Energy channel; together with the lofty peaks above and mountains below, they formed a peerless Grand Array!
And the purpose of this setup was clear.
Cultivator Shen Yu could plainly see vast torrents of Spiritual Energy surging in from not far away, from where the two forbidden zones meet, like a tidal wave.
It wasn't just the ground—heaven and earth itself!
Thus, the Grand Array's purpose was to intercept the sweeping tides of Spiritual Energy.
From top to bottom, nothing was wasted—supplying Spiritual Energy to the cultivators within the sect.
Of course, Cultivator Shen Yu could sense the astonishing number of cultivators here.
He had heard about this from his master.
The Mingyun Immortal Sect recruits disciples from everywhere in the region, establishing Mingyun Academy across the land; even the Zhenli Immortal Dynasty could only tacitly permit this mining of elite talent.
Because Mingyun Immortal Sect was the only sect in the region led by an Earth Immortal!
There were as many as four Earth Immortals on the public record!
"The Spiritual Energy here is staggering—and so too is the number of cultivators, perhaps tens of millions."
As Shen Yu approached the Guest Reception Peak, he gazed about; although the prosperity was dazzling, he had to concede that for those geniuses without family resources, it might not be better than him and his master—five alone atop a Spirit Mountain.
Soon, a Mingyun disciple arrived at the Guest Reception Peak.
He was unmistakably of the Celestial Destiny Realm.
Even in the Zhenli Immortal Dynasty, such a Realm would earn him official rank and great status, but here, he was merely a Reception Disciple.
Even for greeting True Masters, this showed the sect's profound foundation.
"May I ask, senior—is Master Qingfeng's disciple?"
Clearly, Qingfeng True Master had already notified them.
"I am," Cultivator Shen Yu nodded slightly.
"Please, senior." The disciple bowed and led the way ahead.
His own master was also a True Master, and a peer of Qingfeng True Master.
However, although the Immortal Cultivation Realm valued generational seniority among masters and disciples, Power was just as important.
If a disciple and master are of the same Realm, their relationship has to be considered separately.
Thus, when Cultivator Shen Yu visited as a True Master, everyone not of that Realm, regardless of seniority, must address him as senior and observe junior etiquette.
Many other details abounded here as well.
The greater the sect, the more they valued protocol.
The more people, the more they must rely on order and morality for management.
To Shen Yu now, all these signs showed that such a great sect had already developed a stable civilization and culture.
This is certainly a good thing.
The stronger this cultural morality, the greater their short-term resilience when news of changes to the Heavenly Dao begins to spread.
The temptation of the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life is enormous, but the moral foundation shaped by civilization's long development is not easily collapsed.
Following the Reception Disciple, Shen Yu boarded the Flying Boat, soared upward, even passing several formation nodes clearly equipped with detection and reconnaissance functions, until he finally arrived at a palace upon a floating peak above.
Several people awaited him there already.
With one glance, Shen Yu saw the person standing at the center of the great hall.
He appeared young, yet had snow-white hair, hands clasped behind his back, robes fluttering in still air; his bearing was extraordinary, but his aura was that of a mortal.
"Greetings, Mingyun Sect Master." Shen Yu bowed slightly.
Indeed, this was none other than the Mingyun Sect Leader—Earth Immortal Realm!
Shen Yu was a bit surprised.
Even a True Master would rarely get to meet an Earth Immortal, yet the Sect Master himself was here awaiting him.
Yet the next moment, he understood.
"No need for formality, fellow Daoist," Mingyun Sect Master returned the salute. "That you could calmly walk away from the Blood Demon Ancestor of Zhenli Immortal Dynasty, and even slay several demon lords in his presence, is truly a demonstration of our Orthodoxy's might."
Yes, the recent events had already reached here!
Moreover, this Mingyun Immortal Sect actually knew much more than Shen Yu had expected.
From his tone, it was clear they already knew of the presence of an Earth Immortal Demon Cultivator in the Zhenli Immortal Dynasty.
