Unlike Li Fan who was trapped alone in Ningyuan City.

Other cultivators could agree to explore the Fallen Immortal Realm together.

By adding corresponding tokens during the ritual, they could reach a peculiar space between reality and void before entering the Fallen Immortal Realm. Cultivators could exchange information and even items within this space.

Generally, this space was equipped with a special array technique.

The array combined the ceremonial fixation array and the spirit connection enhancement array, hence allowing exploratory teams of up to four to venture into the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Cultivators call this kind of space the Advanced World.

Reportedly, the first Advanced World was fabricated by a Unity-Path great cultivator intending to invite his friends to jointly explore the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Then, due to its convenience, it began to be replicated by other cultivators.

Now, after thousands of years of development, countless Advanced Worlds had been born.

Some Advanced Worlds were public and open to all cultivators.

These spaces were vast, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of cultivators at once.

Each time, a small fee was required to travel there.

On the other hand, some Advanced Worlds were private.

Only the owner of the Advanced World knew the token. Outsiders could not enter without permission.

The origin of the Advanced World was to open a rift space between the Fallen Immortal Realm and the real world for transit use.

Rift spaces were unstable.

Therefore, every few decades, the Advanced World had to be reinforced and maintained.

The cost was not low.

Only truly powerful cultivators had the ability and the will to maintain the Advanced World consistently.

Over thousands of years, some of these cultivators had fallen.

The Advanced Worlds created by these fallen cultivators had mostly been gradually abandoned.

Thus, some people got the idea to claim these abandoned Advanced Worlds.

They searched out these unclaimed Advanced Worlds, made some simple repairs, and redecorated them.

Then they sold them for a high price.

Although these Advanced Worlds were expensive, often requiring hundreds of thousands of contribution points,

They were still much cheaper than building from scratch.

So, there were cultivators willing to buy them.

However, since maintaining the Advanced World required costs, if they had too many Advanced Worlds that they couldn’t sell, they became a burden, even causing them to lose money.

So these people came up with the idea of cost transfer and started to rent out idle Advanced Worlds.

There was no need to pay a substantial amount of contribution in one go.

By paying only a trivial amount of contribution every year, they could gain the right to use the Advanced World.

Due to the existence of cheap public Advanced Worlds, only a few cultivators were willing to rent Advanced Worlds.

To find customers, they posted a lot of promotional information on [Seek Immortal].

Li Fan was just attracted in by these advertisements.

“Renting an Advanced World, interesting, ” Li Fan mulled it over and applied for a fake account, [Moon Palace Master], to conceal his identity.

Then he contacted one of the information publishers.

This person was [Zi Miao Immortal Master]. Li Fan did not know whether he was a true Unity-Path cultivator or had a fake account just like himself.

“Friend Zi Miao, how much is the rent to lease an Advanced World?” Li Fan asked.

Not long after, the other party replied.

“The price depends on the size of the Advanced World. The lowest is eight thousand contribution points per year, and the most expensive can be over ten thousand.” His tone was cold, completely devoid of emotions.

Li Fan asked again: “Only those with the spiritual strength of the Golden Core Realm can withstand the exploration of the Fallen Immortal Realm. Does this apply to the Advanced World? Can those in the Energy Refining Stage or the Foundation Establishment Phase enter it?”

“Making it easier for junior disciples? Don’t worry, the Advanced World is not part of the Fallen Immortal Realm but a separate rift space with no requirements for spiritual strength. As long as you have spiritual strength, you can enter through the ritual.”

Perhaps seeing that Li Fan indeed seemed to need to rent, Zi Miao Immortal Master warmed up a little in tone.

He explained: “If carrying out the ritual is making use of the power of the

Fallen Immortal Realm to forcibly draw our consciousness into the Fallen Immortal Realm, then the Advanced World is interrupting this process by setting up a space in transit beforehand. Different tokens simply correspond to different spatial coordinates.”

“Can you only enter the Advanced World when you are in the Xuanhuang

World? Are those small worlds and cave heavens that are attached to the

Xuanhuang World within the effective range?”

“As long as you do not leave the Xuanhuang World, you are still under the coverage of the Fallen Immortal Realm. So, it is not a problem.” After getting confirmation from the other party, Li Fan was somewhat tempted.

However, he did not rush to reply; he first asked two other cultivators who dispersed leasing message.

The answers they provided were the same.

Eight thousand contribution points a year was indeed the lowest price. “It seems thev have reached a consensus.” Li Fan then contacted Zi Miao Immortal Master again: “Please send over the information about these

Advanced Worlds.”

The response was much quicker this time.

As soon as the message was sent, a reply was received.

In an instant, hundreds and detailed introductions of diverse Advanced Worlds appeared in front of Li Fan.

Zi Miao Immortal Master had gone to great lengths to rent out these Advanced Worlds.

The sceneries within these hundreds of Rift Spaces were all unique.

There were scenes of mountain peaks in a vast cloud sea, and islands in the expansive ocean.

There were even ancient sect ruins full of mystique.

“If you are keen on an Advanced World but are not satisfied with the scenery, I can remodel it.”

“Of course, at a slightly higher price, ” Zi Miao Immortal Master added.

“Can it be ensured that no outsiders intrude after leasing the Advanced World?” Li Fan, who had picked one, asked in detail instead of making a hasty decision.

“The ritual token is akin to an encrypted spatial coordinate. Generally speaking, without the guidance of a token, consciousness entering the Fallen Immortal Realm cannot possibly intrude into a private Advanced World.”

“Of course, there is nothing absolute in the universe. Over a long period, there was indeed such an unexpected incident.”

“However, it has only happened once. Therefore, there’s no need for worry,” Zi Miao Immortal Master explained.

“We provide a minimum of ten tokens with each Advanced World. If that’s not enough, we can always add more.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan nodded slowly.

Then he sent over the Advanced World he had selected.

“I want to rent this.”

“Leases start from a year, with three months’ rent as deposit and one month’s rent in advance. If you wish to extend the lease, you will need to pay the rent again at this time each year.”

“You can only terminate the lease after a full year. Upon termination, the deposit will be refunded,” Zi Miao Immortal Master said proficiently.

Li Fan asked: “Is there a discount for long-term rentals?”

Zi Miao Immortal Master paused: “That can be negotiated.”

“If you rent for ten years, I can give you a 5 percent discount.” “If you rent for 20 years, I can offer a 10 percent discount.” “For anything longer than 20 years, I can give a 20 percent discount!”

“Then I’ll rent for thirty years,” Li Fan agreed quite readily..
