Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 571 - 558: Appearance

Immortal Realm.

Alkaid had to admit, the Virtual Immortal Realm, supported by the power of Master of Primordial Yi, was highly functional.

It not only allowed searches for nearly all information about major forces and figures but also precisely recorded the coordinates and locations of all Sects.

In such circumstances, the journey of Alkaid’s Shao Hua clone to the Creation Group was crystal clear, with no need to ask for directions.

His incarnation mainly followed the Time Path.

Due to the difficulty in cultivating the Time Great Dao, it was scarce and therefore easier to obtain shares.

However, he needed to act under the identity of Yu Xiao Immortal King, and it would be more appropriate and justified to follow the Void Path in future confrontations with Tian Yu Immortal King.

And this wasn’t difficult for him.

"Over the years, the River of Time has been continuously refined by me and now encompasses Time, Void, Soul, Destruction, and Chaos Daos. Although it can’t compare to the Great Dao Tower, it suffices, though the levels of these Daos are a bit low... Even though the Time Path can accommodate up to 30 shares, the Void Path only 20, and the other three types only about 10 shares each..."

Alkaid pondered.

All the Great Daos combined, the shares didn’t total 100, and since these Daos weren’t of the same type, colloquially speaking, they were a motley crew, ultimately only capable of exerting the strength of a peak True Immortal.

At most, he could contest with an Immortal Venerable due to the advantages of his realm.

Such power might be insufficient for obtaining a CEO-level position at the Creation Group, not to mention returning to the board of directors.

"Time is too rushed; originally, I had planned to place the Time clone in the Lower Realm, thinking that the Time clone had plenty of time, that’s why I barely refined the River of Time, the Supreme Holy Artifact..."

Alkaid somewhat regretted.

Nevertheless...

Considering Yu Xiao Immortal King was only reincarnated 3000 years ago and had reached the peak True Immortal cultivation and the realm of Immortal Venerable, it was barely acceptable.

Regardless, first getting familiar at the Creation Group was the priority.

At that moment, after identifying the direction, Alkaid followed the navigation path provided by the Virtual Immortal Realm and headed directly towards the Creation Group.

As Alkaid proceeded with Sword Flight, breaking through the air, he left the area almost devoid of the "interference" from Dao Lords, and the surrounding environment gradually began to change.

Several cities appeared in his sight.

Alkaid initially thought that with the strength of the Nine Major Groups and the technology level of the Chaotic Origin Realm, the Ancient Immortal Realm would have been transformed into a landscape filled with modern features. But upon encountering the first city, he found that it still maintained features styled on ancient characteristics.

Of course, though the lifestyle, architectural style, and social structure were inclined towards ancient times, being an Immortal Realm and a world filled with cultivators, the standard of living for its inhabitants wasn’t low.

At least there were no issues with clothing and food.

The overall impression he got from the city...

Was that of Northern Sea Star, only stricter in rules where Golden Core Cultivators could hardly manage Sword Flight.

He found it unbelievable.

"The aura escaping from the Gate of the Immortal Realm is called immortal qi. Northern Sea Star’s spiritual energy can be utilized by Alchemists to concoct Pure Yang Great Pills because it’s mixed with immortal qi. By inference, the immortal qi in the Immortal Realm that can condense into Pure Yang Great Pills should be denser, and even all the spiritual qi transforming into Pure Yang Immortal Qi wouldn’t be strange; but in practical terms... the amount of Pure Yang Immortal Qi in the Immortal Realm is only slightly more than that in Northern Sea Star, but not significantly so."

Alkaid pondered, casting glances at the city passing below.

The city was densely populated.

Not every being in the entire Immortal Realm ascended from the Lower Realms; perhaps in the oldest times, those referred to as Immortals, cultivators of Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattering Void Realms, arrived in the Immortal Realm. Over millions of years of coexistence and proliferation, numerous newborns emerged in this world.

Not every one of these newborns could become Hollow Void, Refining Void, or Shattering Void, and thus naturally formed the initial common class of the Immortal Realm.

Over the lengthy passage of time, the number of these mere mortals had grown vast enough to spread across every corner of the Immortal Realm; they cultivated, grew, aiming to achieve Hollow Void, Refining Void, or Shattering Void as their ultimate goals.

Millions of years ago, during a war between the Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm, through studying the Ancient Immortal Realm, Master of Primordial Yi pioneered a Dao Lord system to counter the Ancient Immortal Realm’s Three Thousand Daoist Ancestors.

During this period, immortal spirits, by attaining Dao Lord, True Immortal, Immortal Venerable, and Immortal King statuses, seized shares of the Great Dao; native cultivators, uninformed, copied them, comprehended the Great Daos, even further accelerating the collapse of the Three Thousand Great Dao System.

With the loss of the Three Thousand Great Dao System’s support, the Ancient Immortal Realm gradually fell under the control of the Nine Major Groups; although the entire Ancient Immortal Realm had not yet completely succumbed, but...

It was only a matter of time.

"So, if I’m not mistaken, the immortal qi in the Immortal Realm might not be severely deficient, rather, it’s being concentrated."

Alkaid observed.

Most immortal spirits entering the Ancient Immortal Realm would not choose to go to the Lower Realm but instead directly descend into the Immortal Realm.

The cities controlled by the Nine Major Groups and the cities where local cultivators lived likely reflected severe polarization.

Alkaid glanced again and then accelerated his pace.

Streaming Light passes by, all the native souls of the Immortal Realm quiver and lower their heads, daring not to look up, as if fearing that their gaze might defile the majesty of a True Immortal and thus bring about terrifying calamities.

"Hardly any cultivators."

Alkaid thought to himself.

Of course, he was referring to those cultivators above the Heavenly Fire Realm.

The rules of the Immortal Realm are strict, leaving no room for mortals; ordinary people possess the strength for Foundation Establishment as soon as they come of age.

With a little training, they could reach the Return to One Level, Core Formation Level.

However, advancing beyond to the Heavenly Fire Realm requires a special method to ignite the energy sediment within the body, forming the first immortal power.

Only after cultivating immortal power the cultivation journey truly begins.

Once on the path of cultivation, these people would leave their native small cities and head to the larger cities.

Yet, before they achieve the Golden Core and the ability for Sword Flight, they are hardly able to leave the nation to which they belong during their lifetime.

Only when they achieve the Golden Core and gain the power of flight can they truly go out to venture and strive.

Once they reach the Hollow Void, they then travel to further areas, core cities of the continents, seeking opportunities for Refining Void, Shattering Void, and even integrating Dao to ascend.

"Small cities… Continent-level forces establish Formations, siphoning surrounding immortal qi; Domain-level powers then set up Formations, absorbing the remainder immortal qi left by the continent-level forces, and so on… With layers upon layers of absorption, it’s no wonder that there are basically no cultivators left in small cities, nor is it surprising why cultivators flock to large cities, major Sects, groups, and large groups."

At this moment, Alkaid has reached the peripheries of the Creation Group’s influence, passing through multiple Immortal Cities along the way, which gradually clarified the structure of the Immortal Realm for him.

This structure…

It even felt somewhat familiar to him.

Small cities are like rural villages, left only with old people who have not embarked on the path of cultivation to await death.

The small sects are like county cities, although they have young people equivalent to cultivators, they lack factories, have lower income, almost no developmental potential, and can only be described as living confused and drudging days.

Only those Immortal Cities developed by smaller groups offer slightly better opportunities.

But these cities can only attract Golden Core Level cultivators and a few Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattering Void Level cultivators.

Just like ordinary cities struggle to attract real talents and large corporations.

Those truly capable talents, top university graduates, such as Hollow Void, Shattering Void, Refining Void Realm cultivators, all head towards the top immortal cities developed by the Nine Major Groups.

They cultivate diligently there, aiming to achieve the integration of Dao, and entering the Nine Major Groups is the highest honor.

Such an Immortal Realm…

"It’s equivalent to a native civilization being ruled by an advanced civilization, even though both worlds are roughly on the same energy level… especially since, due to constant propaganda from the Chaotic Origin Realm, the cultivators of this world have already accepted the rule and colonization of the Chaotic Origin Realm, believing they are the ones who can lead the Ancient Immortal Realm towards a brighter future, viewing all resistors as enemies."

Alkaid sighed inwardly, "What they do not realize is, the moment all resistors are completely eliminated, they too will disappear, and the entire Ancient Immortal Realm will cease to exist, completely devoured by the Chaotic Origin Realm."

He could not express too many opinions.

His journey to the Creation Group was not overly hurried.

Instead, he learned about the condition of the Immortal Realm while familiarizing himself with the surrounding details based on the information he had, all the while buying time for his true body in the Lower Realm to better understand the Immortal King Yu Xiao in their interactions.

By the time he truly arrived at the Immortal City of the Creation Group, a hundred years had passed.

...

"Indeed, the more powerful the group that develops a city, the more magnificent it is and the more immortal qi it occupies."

Before even entering the city belonging to the Creation Group, Alkaid could already see the innumerable wisps of immortal qi surrounding that city with his naked eyes.

This is a city filled with futuristic elements yet immensely close to nature, a super-city.

The entire city is enveloped in a huge, transparent dome, the area of which stretches across millions of miles.

Peering through the dome, one could see a multitude of skyscrapers reaching into the clouds, majestic mountains soaring into the sky, meandering clear rivers, and extensive lakes spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

Atop the rare skyscrapers and mountain peaks reaching into the clouds, there are floating islands varying in diameter from ten thousand miles to tens of thousands of miles, drifting above.

Each of these islands serves as a central hub for the city’s Formation, accumulating surrounding immortal qi.

Golden Core Realm cultivators who make it to such islands, with each breath they take, it’s as if they are refining a Pure Yang Great Pill.

Refining Void Realm cultivators living in such a place can bypass the step of ’energy’ accumulation in an extremely short time.

It is no exaggeration to say that for cultivators below the level of integrating Dao, this environment is like having an unlimited resource cheat; as long as they reach the necessary realm, every single one of them could grow to the peak of the Shattering Void without ever cultivating.

Such a place is what truly corresponds to the real Immortal Realm.

Sadly, this treatment of the "true" Immortal Realm is currently completely monopolized by the Nine Major Groups.
