Chapter 174: Chen Ying Reveals the Secret Realm

TL Note: term change from Immortal God (the realm after Dao Integration, titled Immortal Venerable) to Longevity Immortal. The Immortal in "Fallen Immortal Realm" refers to the realm above that, which I'm tentatively naming the True Immortal realm, but this is subject to change. It's a little confusing, so I'm open to any suggestions if you guys have any; here are the raw characters for Longevity Immortal: 长生.

"Senior, did you gain anything?" Li Fan asked from a distance.

"Hehe, not bad. The remaining ice spiritual energy here is extraordinary. Similar to the Ice Intent Heartless Pill I refine, it has effects such as calming the mind and stabilizing emotions," Chen Ying said, showing a proud expression. "Moreover, the level of this power surpasses that of the Ice Intent Heartless Pill. With this enlightenment, I am confident in improving the pill formula. I believe the refined Ice Intent Heartless Pill will have a significant enhancement in efficacy."

Envy appeared on Li Fan's face as he said, "Unfortunately, this junior has dull aptitude and couldn't sense the ice spiritual energy Senior mentioned. It's truly heartbreaking to be so close to such an opportunity and yet unable to comprehend it."

Chen Ying laughed, "The origin of this power is beyond the Nascent Soul level. As a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's normal for you to fail to sense it."

"If I didn't frequently take the Ice Intent Heartless Pill and become familiar with similar powers, I'm afraid it would be challenging to perceive its traces."

Looking at Li Fan, Chen Ying consoled, "You played a significant role in this. I won't go back on my word. So, tell me, what reward do you want? Contribution points? Pills? Or something else?"

Li Fan's expression became serious, "This junior dares not be greedy. It's all up to Senior to decide!"

Chen Ying was very satisfied with Li Fan's attitude.

After pondering for a moment, he took out a Tianxuan Minor Mirror and transferred thirty thousand contribution points to Li Fan on the spot.

Then, he handed a talisman to Li Fan, saying, "Contribution points are more versatile. You can buy whatever you need in the Tianxuan Mirror. This is my Communication Talisman; if you have any alchemy needs in the future, you can contact me."

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "Eh... however, recently, I might not be in the Cong Yun Sea. The headquarters found a closed-off subworld with dense wood attribute spiritual energy, suitable for cultivating various spirit plants. They've mobilized manpower to develop it. I received a notice, and I'm also going there. At that time, you might not be able to contact me."

Li Fan listened, realizing that this subworld was the culprit causing the drastic drop in the price of the Spirit Mist Grass. Moreover, it would likely affect the prices of most herbs and spirit plants in the market, leading to a sharp decline.

This was not the main point; the most astonishing fact was that this wood attribute subworld concealed another four subworlds nearby, forming a subtle formation.

This information later triggered a conflict between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.

However, this classified information was casually revealed. Was this really appropriate?

Looking at Chen Ying, Li Fan felt somewhat amused.

It seemed that this person might truly lack cautiousness.

"Spiritual consciousness strength..." Li Fan repeated silently in his heart, nodding in agreement.

Then, he immediately reacted, showing some surprise, and asked, "So, I can also explore this Fallen Immortal Realm?"

Chen Ying chuckled, "Hehe, not only you, but all cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm can enter and explore it on their own."

"However, the spiritual consciousness strength of a Golden Core stage cultivator is only enough for limited activities within the Fallen Immortal Realm. To truly explore freely, you'll have to wait until the Nascent Soul stage."

Li Fan became even more curious, "Where is this Fallen Immortal Realm located?"

Chen Ying, hands behind his back, sighed, "The Fallen Immortal Realm..."

"Is everywhere."

"Everywhere?" Li Fan was stunned.

"That's right." Chen Ying nodded. "Anywhere in the Xuanhuang Realm, through specific methods, you can enter the Fallen Immortal Realm at any time."

"But, only the spiritual sense enters; the physical body does not follow."

Li Fan furrowed his brows, "Could it be that the Fallen Immortal Realm is purely a realm of consciousness?"

"You can think of it that way. However, it has already transcended the boundaries of illusion and reality."

"In the Fallen Immortal Realm, the gains can truly be brought back to the Xuanhuang Realm."

"And dying in the Fallen Immortal Realm, at most, will only cause damage to the spiritual sense. It won't lead to a real demise."

"So, the Fallen Immortal Realm is the most explored mystery for cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above."

Li Fan immediately realized the value of the Fallen Immortal Realm.

"What exactly is in the Fallen Immortal Realm?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

"What's in there?" Chen Ying smiled.

He pointed around, "Whatever is here in this realm, you will find in the Fallen Immortal Realm."
