Chapter 1093: True Immortal Yun Hu

Through the interaction with Zhu Honglin, Shang Xia finally gained an overview of the Spirit Faith World.

Other than gaining a superficial understanding of the great powers, he also heard the names of famous experts in the Spirit Faith World, including many True Immortals.

For example, the 8 great powers that formed the basis of power for the Spirit Faith World with their Elysiums... The strongest among them was called the Heavenly Feather Sect, and Yan Huayi was their sect leader. He was a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal and his cultivation was the highest in the Three Worlds. It was also said that he possessed the strongest combat strength.

The Great Origin Sect came after them and even though their leader was a first tier True Immortal, they had a third tier True Immortal, Lan Zhengfeng, as their grand elder.

True Immortal Yun Hu was the representative for the wandering True Immortals and his cultivation was the highest among them. He was also the strongest expert who came from the Azure Intellect World. After reaching the level of External Unity, he was said to have reached the same level as Lan Zhengfeng!

True Immortal Zhu was an expert who reached the level of Inner Fusion and was a second tier True Immortal. He was also an ascended expert who came from the Azure Roaming World and his cultivation was the highest among all the experts who originated from the Azure Roaming World.

After gaining an introduction to the Spirit Faith World, Shang Xia thought back to the question he had initially. “How did the experts of lower worlds ascend?”

Zhu Honglin stared at Shang Xia in shock as he was surprised that Shang Xia didn’t know about that.

Even though Zhu Honglin guessed that Shang Xia was an expert from a foreign world, he thought that the method of ascension was common throughout the sea of stars!

Alas... It seemed he was mistaken!

Of course, Zhu Honglin quickly regained his composure. He explained, “I am a native cultivator of the Spirit Faith World. I am not familiar with the process of ascension, but all I know is that the highest cultivation level one can reach in the Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World is the Martial Dipper Realm. If they wish to take another step in the path of cultivation, they need more resources than a lower world can provide. They can only ascend to our Spirit Faith World through an Elysium Gate to continue progressing.”

If an Azure World didn’t have an Elysium, they would never be able to support the birth of a Marital Void Realm expert. That was something Shang Xia knew clearly.

From how the experts of the Azure Worlds had to ascend to the Spirit Faith World, it was clear they didn’t have Elysiums of their own.

Shang Xia continued to ask, “What is an Elysium Gate then?”

Zhu Honglin found it even stranger, but he didn’t dare to reveal his feelings as he quickly lowered his gaze and explained, “An Elysium Gate is actually a spatial passage that would be connected from a superior world to a lower world after modifications from an Elysium. There are 2 Elysium Gates between our world and the Azure Intellect World and 1 Elysium Gate to the Azure Roaming World.”

Shang Xia was shocked and he couldn’t help but gasp, “Modifying an Elysium to form spatial connections between worlds?”

That was such a massive undertaking and contained many implications!

Wouldn’t there exist World’s Will suppression for the expats between the worlds?

Obviously, there were a lot of secrets hidden involved but Shang Xia didn’t think that Zhu Honglin would be privy to such secrets at his level. He thought for a second and continued, “Are there many cultivators who ascend from the Azure Worlds?”

Zhu Honglin shook his head and sighed, “I have no idea, but what I do know is that the Void Overlooking Sect, the Flourishing Dao Gate, and the Carefree Sect are factions that accept the most ascendants.”

“Oh...” Shang Xia grunted once and muttered, “Do you know why?”

“Naturally, it’s because those are the factions that connected their Elysium Gate to lower worlds!” Zhu Honglin mumbled.

“So those are the Elysiums that connected a spatial passage to lower worlds...” Shang Xia was truly shocked by the discovery.

In response, Zhu Honglin stated matter of factly, “Yeah. The Void Overlooking Sect and the Flourishing Dao Gate are connected to the Azure Intellect World while the Carefree Sect is connected to the Azure Roaming World.”

“This is truly... Something new!” Shang Xia couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

A soft laughter entered Shang Xia’s ear the next second.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Shang Xia released his retracted divine soul while keeping an eye on Zhu Honglin. He saw the other party with his bowed head and didn’t seem to be the one laughing.

“The leader of the Chihong Gang has a limited status. He’s pretty impressive for knowing so much. However, if True Immortal Shang really wishes to know more, why don’t you look for this old man outside the city for a proper discussion?” The soft voice rang in his ears again.

Shang Xia felt that the voice sounded pretty familiar and he quickly connected the dots.

“True Immortal Yun Hu!” Shang Xia’s expression sank. He quickly discovered the source of the voice when he released his divine soul, and he discovered that he wasn’t mistaken. It was Yun Hu!

A gasp of admiration soon entered Shang Xia’s ears again. “True Immortal Shang, your divine soul is sharp indeed... The area you can cover is also really impressive. You’re right. I am Yun Hu and I have no ill intentions.”

It was then that Zhu Honglin noticed Shang Xia mumbling something to himself. He couldn’t hear anything and he quickly asked, “Young Master, do you have any other instructions?”

“Oh.” Shang Xia turned to look at Zhu Honglin and chuckled, “You’ve done well enough. You can leave. You don’t have to take special note of anything either and all you need to do is to pay a little more attention to ascended cultivators.”

“Yes!” Zhu Honglin replied before bowing again to ask, “This... How will I be able to contact you in the future after I complete my task?”

Zhu Honglin knew that since he already chosen to submit, he might as well go all the way. At the very least, the person in front of him was able to solve the problem of his fate dippers to give him another chance to grow stronger.

Shang Xia laughed, “Go do whatever you need to. I will look for you when I have to.”

After Zhu Honglin left the room, he discovered that his robes were completely soaked in sweat.

As soon as he closed the door, Shang Xia also disappeared from within the room.

...

In a maple forest 300 miles away from the city, Shang Xia showed himself. He noticed a friendly elder standing slightly more than a thousand feet away. The elder was clad in loose robes and looked a little chubby. His hair was completely white but the smile on his face displayed his friendly intentions. He held a palm-sized gourd in his hand and he revealed an even wider grin when he saw Shang Xia. “I hope you forgive me for my sudden intrusion.”

Shang Xia’s gaze swept across the other party and paused for a second on his gourd. He mumbled casually, “There’s no offense at all. I should be the one who offended you if we need to blame someone for something.”

Yun Hu raised the gourd and took a big swig before chuckling in amusement, “If we’re talking about that you shouldn’t be apologizing to me. You should be talking to True Immortal Yan Huayi, Lan Zhengfeng, and the others!”

Shang Xia’s eyebrows twitched slightly and looked at Yun Hu with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. “Elder, you seem to be saying something else...”

The smile on Yun Hu’s face didn’t fade in the slightest. His gaze landed on the gourd in his hand and mumbled, “There are some things we don’t have to make so obvious... True Immortal Shang, didn’t you form your own guesses after hearing his description of the dynamics of our worlds earlier?”
