Book 4: Chapter 1: Immortal Mansion
In the concept of mortals, Immortal Mansion was the place where the immortal lived. In the concept of the cultivator, it was an independent small world, which was opened up by those cultivators who have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea.
Although in the cultivation world nowadays, this kind of magic that could open up an independent world has been lost, in the library of some large sects that existed before the war between humans and demons, there were still some vague records.
According to the above statement, in the previous era, as long as the cultivator reached the Physique Integration stage, he could use a special space technique to open up his own independent world. However, because of the chronology, in the current cultivation world, the study of space magic was just getting started.
In Jade Tower, Mystery Academy, and some other famous big sects in the world, there were only one or two places that use space technology. Compared with the techniques of the ancient city to manipulate space, these techniques were still very rough and took a lot of manpower and material resources to develop and use, which was very troublesome.
Most of the Immortal Mansions that existed in the cultivation world today were left over by the mighty who lived from many years ago.
But none of them could compare to the Immortal Mansion awakened by the ancient city. This mansion broke the sky, created a spatial vortex, looked like a mountain hang upside down from the sky, and this was only the entrance.
Since the battle with the Land Immortals, the Righteous Alliance and the Evil Alliance have tacitly sent people to block this entrance, but there were still many cultivators took advantage of when these two factions, for the sake of Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, fought the monsters of Ancient City, to quietly fly across the battlefield and sneak into this entrance.
They came with the attitude of “fishing in mudded waters”, and wanted to take advantage of the fact the two largest forces were busy to enter this unique Immortal Mansion and seek opportunities and treasures, wishing to become strong enough to make the two factions admiring them.
People were always self-interested. This kind of thing has happened many times before, and it has been repeatedly banned. Once these people have already entered, the Righteous Alliance and the Evil Alliance had no way to deal with them.
Fortunately, after the two factions sent people to blockade, no more people sneaked in here.
Of course, there were two sides to everything. The Righteous Alliance and the Evil Alliance joined forces to block the entrance, on the one hand, that’s because they wanted to get lead. On the other hand, it also prevented those who were not good enough from risking their lives.
Moreover, the cultivators who sneaked in before did give help to the two forces. At least after several cultivators were killed by a bolt of sudden lightning, the two forces also figured out the limit of the entrance.
Below the Nascent Soul Stage and above the Foundation Establishment stage, this was the entry threshold for this Immortal Mansion.
Once the entrant’s cultivation level reached the Nascent Soul Stage or above, the formation at the entrance would be activated, attracting thunder and lightning in the sky, allowing the cultivators to “enjoy” the “happiness” of experiencing the tribulation early. and passing away on the spot.
Withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation said that it is these cultivators who have not yet reached the stage of crossing Tribulation. Even for Huangfu Feng who has already survived the Heavenly Tribulation, the experience was so awful that he never wanted to go through it again.
And the reason why the entry threshold was above the Foundation Establishment stage, that’s because only the cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage could fly with flying swords and reach the entrance located several miles high in the sky.
Of course, this restriction had no effect on a certain man.
“So I want to go in this time.”
In the main hall of Qingming Sword Sect, Bai Qiuran said seriously while facing a group of elders and sect leaders:
“You can arrange the rest of the staff. I must go up anyway.”
“Uncle Ancestor, if you are going, we definitely won’t object.”
Jue Yunzi said:
“This is very dangerous. After all, it is the Immortal Mansion where the Land Immortal awakens at the expense of his life. No one knows what is hidden inside, and we can only send out those below the Nascent Soul stage. If Uncle Ancestor takes care of them, of course, we should rest assured.”
“No, I mean...”
Bai Qiuran said:
“You have to form a team this time, just as if I did not go. I also want to go in to find a chance, lest I have to act alone. When everyone goes together, I can of course protect those disciples, but once I leave, they still have to rely on themselves.”
“Ok...”
Jue Yunzi pondered for a moment, and then said:
“Then how about this: we Qingming Sword Sect enter in two batches, what do you think?”
He looked at his senior brothers and sisters, and then at Bai Qiuran.
“Always under the care of Uncle Ancestor, these little kids won’t get any experience. It’s better to hide this fact from them and let them figure out their own way. Uncle Ancestor, please wait for everyone to enter, then you can go in by yourself and look for opportunities. If our disciples really encounter a crisis that cannot be resolved, it will not be too late for you to help.”
“Okay.”
Bai Qiuran nodded and said:
“Does anyone have opinions?”
The elders of the Qingming Sword Sect all nodded, none of them mentioned other circumstances, such as what should the Qingming Sword Sect disciples do if they encountered danger in other places when Bai Qiuran left without knowing it.
Cultivation was inherently going against heaven. Although the righteous cultivators did not advocate harming others and benefiting themselves as the demonic cultivator, in any case, cultivation always has to seize the heavens and the earth to nurture oneself, otherwise the heavens would not give Heavenly Tribulation when someone was about to ascend to immortality.
And to treat their own disciples, the masters of the cultivation world must sometimes learn to push them into a dangerous situation, just like an eagle pushing a cub down a cliff. A cultivator who could not learn to face a crisis, like an eagle that couldn’t fly, could live comfortably for a while, but sooner or later would have to pay a price.
After returning to the Seven Star Peak, Bai Qiuran began to prepare what he needed to explore the mansion. In fact, he didn’t have much to prepare. He just prepared something to replace those he couldn’t use with the seal technique, some necessary small magic props, and hundreds of brand new fine iron swords.
His actions naturally aroused the suspicion of Tang Ruowei, who was living together with him, but Bai Qiuran still chose to treat her equally and didn’t tell her anything.
However, in the team sent by the Qingming Sword Sect this time, Tang Ruowei and another disciple who had Heavenly-level Spiritual Root were chosen to go in. Together with other Qingming disciples, they would explore this Immortal Mansion.
And Bai Qiuran also heard Tang Ruowei say that the person leading the exploration team of Qingming Sword Sect was a person he’s very familiar with.
