Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 690: Immortal King Gets Beaten Up in the Lower Realm_1

"The Lower Realm is still the Lower Realm, as disgusting as ever." A look of disgust crossed Chai Hui's face.

The stronger the cultivator, the more discomfort they felt upon entering the Lower Realm. An Immortal Realm cultivator like Hao Rui, for instance, would only begin to accumulate impurities after spending a hundred years in the Qiandao Realm. By contrast, Chai Hui, being at the Immortal King Realm, would start gathering impurities in as little as one month. Moreover, expelling these impurities was far more challenging for him; unlike cultivators at the Immortal Realm who might only need several months, he required hundreds of years. Indeed, the greater one's power, the faster these impurities accrued and the more difficult they were to remove.

Consequently, most of the time, only cultivators at the Immortal Realm and Immortal Monarch Realm were assigned missions in the Lower Realm. The tasks themselves weren't exceedingly difficult, but the environment was harsh. Therefore, for Immortal Realm cultivators, these Lower Realm assignments were considered missions. For those of higher realms, however, it was little different from being exiled to a bitterly cold and desolate place.

Were it not for the occasional emergence of rare and precious Innate Magical Artifacts in the Lower Realm—artifacts highly coveted even in the Green Nether Fairyland—only Outer Disciples would pay these missions any attention. Inner Sect Disciples simply didn't bother with them.

"Wait, why is there so much merit?"

Chai Hui suddenly noticed something amiss. He discovered that the Qiandao Realm was devoid of his fellow Human Clan members. Instead, it was populated by a group of colossal giants.

The giants themselves were not the primary issue. The real problem was that each of these giants possessed merit, and all of them were at the Virtue Golden Body grade. None were of the Merit-golden Light or Merit Golden Wheel grades.

This was simply beyond his imagination.

In the ancient eons of the Green Nether Fairyland, there were indeed legends of the Virtue Golden Body. In the present day, not only was the Virtue Golden Body unheard of, but even the lesser Merit Golden Wheel and Merit-golden Light grades were practically non-existent. Only mighty figures at the Ancestor Immortal Realm might possess a point or two of merit, and even that was considered an immense power.

But how could such an abnormal phenomenon occur in this humble Lower Realm, the Qiandao Realm?

"Could it be that this Innate Magical Artifact is not only a merit-type but also capable of bestowing blessings upon an entire sect?!" Chai Hui was inwardly shocked.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain how the Qiandao Realm had transformed into its current state.

For a moment, his ambition began to swell.

With this Innate Magical Artifact, not only could he aspire to become an Immortal Venerate, but he might even successfully inherit the Grand Heaven Sect and elevate it to an even greater powerhouse.

As a True Disciple, he naturally understood that cultivation demanded vast resources. Without sufficient resources, even the greatest aptitude was useless for further advancement.

The vast majority of these resources were acquired through the sect's exploitation. The higher one's status within the sect, the more resources one could extract.

Why else did the various sects vie for power and profit? It was, naturally, for the resources essential to cultivation.

"Hahaha! This opportunity is destined to be mine!" Chai Hui couldn't help but laugh wildly.

He recalled that Hao Rui must have guessed this as well. Hao Rui had intended to seize the Innate Magical Artifact born in the Qiandao Realm, but due to his insufficient strength, he ended up perishing there.

For a native possessing such an ultimate treasure, it wasn't difficult for a Quasi-Immortal to slay an Immortal.

If he obtained this Innate Magical Artifact, then with his Immortal King Realm strength, he could even slay experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"Next, I need to find the native who possesses this Innate Magical Artifact. How can a mere native be worthy of possessing such an ultimate treasure?"

Contempt flashed in Chai Hui's eyes. No matter how powerful that native might be, even if they reached the Immortal Monarch Realm, it would only take a single breath for me to deal with them.

He didn't know where this fortunate native was hiding, but that didn't mean he lacked a solution.

His solution was to kill—kill until the native was forced to reveal themself.

That native had used the Innate Magical Artifact to transform all the Human Clan in the Qiandao Realm into giants possessing the Virtue Golden Body. Surely, that native wouldn't stand by and watch him slaughter them.

He usually referred to such people as fools.

If they weren't fools, why would they share their treasured possessions?

If he were to obtain this Innate Magical Artifact, he wouldn't just keep it secret; he would hide it so securely that not a hint of it would ever leak out.

Cultivators cultivated for themselves; selfishness was only natural.

"When virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely follow. I'll start with..." Chai Hui's gaze quickly landed on the headquarters of the Tao Tian League. If I'm going to kill, I should naturally start with those in the most prominent position.

"Eh, what you said actually makes a bit of sense." A voice suddenly interrupted Chai Hui's thoughts.

Chai Hui was startled. Someone had just patted his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw a young man.

He hadn't sensed the other person's approach at all, which caused his expression to turn grim immediately.

"I am Chai Hui, a True Disciple of the Grand Heaven Sect! This Lower Realm belongs to our Grand Heaven Sect. Leave this realm at once!" Chai Hui's first thought was that this young man was a True Disciple from another sect who had illicitly entered the Qiandao Realm.

His second thought was to issue a warning and then silence him.

The Qiandao Realm was too unique; news of it absolutely could not be allowed to spread. Otherwise, not only him but the entire Grand Heaven Sect could face annihilation.

The Virtue Golden Body alone was enough to compel an Ancestor Immortal to personally intervene.

Therefore, the moment he finished speaking, he launched a sneak attack.

However, the other party easily dodged it.

"But I've already called dibs on the Qiandao Realm. Shouldn't we observe the principle of first come, first served?" the young man said playfully.

He was Wang Linchi. Wang Linchi had arrived shortly after Chai Hui descended into the Lower Realm.

He had been squatting nearby, watching Chai Hui's expressions shift between disdainful disgust and arrogant glee.

Only when Chai Hui was about to make his move did Wang Linchi step out to stop him.

"First come, first served? My Grand Heaven Sect has governed the Qiandao Realm for hundreds of thousands of years! How can you claim to have come first?" Chai Hui attacked again. Although his first sneak attack had been dodged, Wang Linchi had to die.

At this moment, his heart grew heavy. I don't know which sect this person belongs to, but he should be at the Immortal King Realm, just like me. If his cultivation and strength were higher than mine, I would have been subdued by now. After all, the strong are not to be trifled with. My sneak attack was tantamount to insulting him. If he were truly stronger than me, I would have been struck dead on the spot. And if he were weaker than me, he couldn't possibly have dodged my attack.

"Oh? In that case... what exactly has your sect done for it?" Wang Linchi asked curiously.

Chai Hui snorted coldly but didn't answer. Our sect in the Green Nether Fairyland accepting tributes from this Lower Realm is already a tremendous grace bestowed upon it. And they want our help too? What wishful thinking!

BANG!

"AARGH!"

Seeing Chai Hui's silence, Wang Linchi immediately hurled the Tai Mountain Seal. The other party screamed on the spot as the back of his head was largely caved in, his brain matter spilling out.

Fortunately, Chai Hui was no ordinary person; being at the Immortal King Realm, he wasn't knocked unconscious even after such a blow. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Damn, I used too little force again," Wang Linchi grumbled. Fortunately, it was too little. If I'd used more and killed him on the spot, wouldn't I have suffered a huge loss?

Fear flickered in Chai Hui's eyes. He had never expected Wang Linchi to be so powerful, especially the magical artifact in his hand.

"Two of them! This is impossible!!!"

This power... it's definitely an Innate Magical Artifact! And since the Innate Magical Artifact in his hand is offensive, it means the merit-type Innate Magical Artifact isn't this one! How could a mere Qiandao Realm possibly nurture two Innate Magical Artifacts?

"There's nothing impossible about it. You're just too ignorant," Wang Linchi retorted.

As he spoke, Wang Linchi threw the Tai Mountain Seal again. This time, the force was accurate, and he knocked Chai Hui, who was attempting to flee, unconscious on the spot.

"Look at you. You just had to run and ended up dropping your brain," Wang Linchi said, stuffing Chai Hui's fallen brain back into his skull and adjusting it to prevent him from dying.

He's an Immortal King Realm expert, after all. Losing his brain won't actually kill him.

"But speaking of which, how come you're even worse off than Hao Rui, who's only at the Immortal Realm? You're at the Immortal King Realm, after all."

Wang Linchi mused. The "worse" he referred to was naturally a matter of their physical constitution.

The more evolved these Immortals became, the higher their environmental requirements and the lower their adaptability.

"I'll even have to adjust the environment for you, lest you die midway from being unable to adapt to the ambient Spiritual Energy," Wang Linchi sighed, somewhat helplessly. The cost of sustaining Chai Hui was at least a hundred times greater than that of sustaining Hao Rui.

But on second thought, the cost didn't seem too high. After all, a hundred Hao Ruis couldn't compare to one Chai Hui, whether in terms of value or strength. Hao Rui could only be considered a low-end specimen.

"If only I could capture an Ancestor Immortal... then again, an Ancestor Immortal would probably fall ill the moment they entered the Qiandao Realm."

"I guess the Immortal King Realm is the upper limit. If an Immortal Emperor were to descend, they'd probably run into problems within an hour."

"A bunch of oversized babies raised in a greenhouse. So fragile, yet so difficult to kill."
