"yes, Sir."

The Sea Monster King immediately responded, slapped his storage bag with his right hand, pulled out a large net, and put his senior brother Wang inside.

Although Senior Brother Wang was captured, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

The other party wanted to capture him for questioning, which gave him a good chance to stall for time. As long as he could hold out until the elder arrived, he could live.

"Brother, the other side sent out paper cranes to summon people. We can't delay. We should kill them immediately and escape from this place."

The Sea King cried out urgently.

Senior Brother Wang's heart sank.

But the person inside said calmly, "It's alright, the paper crane never left this place."

"What!?"

The Siren King looked surprised and somewhat disbelieving.

Senior Brother Wang and Xu Shan exchanged glances, equally disbelieving.

They clearly sent the paper crane into the air, and the Siren King couldn't stop it, so how can you say that the paper crane never left this place?
In doubt.

Suddenly, a yellow paper crane was thrown out of the cave.

The four senior brothers were all taken aback.

what happened?

Although they couldn't pick up the paper cranes to examine them, the paper cranes clearly still carried the energy they had left behind when they activated them.

It's obvious that this is the same one they sent out before.

But why did the paper crane appear in the cave? The other party's older brother didn't even show up. How did he manage to grab the paper crane and put it in there?
"As expected of the eldest brother, haha."

The Siren King let out an excited laugh.

I thought the paper crane had already flown away and was about to bring help.

Who would have thought that the paper crane had already fallen into Zhang Lingshan's hands.

Such methods are truly unbelievable.

No wonder he could become the Great Emperor of the Nine Provinces in the mortal realm; he is indeed extraordinary and possesses astonishing abilities that ordinary people cannot fathom!

'The teleportation power of the Star-Shifting Technique is indeed very useful.'

In the cave.

Zhang Lingshan also had a smile on his face.

This ability can grow as one's strength increases, and it allows one to freely transfer the power of heaven and earth.

Let alone paper cranes.

Even if it's someone else's storage bag, Zhang Lingshan can move it.

However, compared to paper cranes, storage bags are self-contained spaces, making them relatively more difficult to move.

Zhang Lingshan had just tried to move the storage bags of the four senior brothers, but had not yet succeeded.

But it doesn't matter.

As his strength increases and he comprehends more spatial rules, he will surely be able to transfer storage bags.

think about it.

When fighting the enemy, the storage bag suddenly disappears. Apart from one's own abilities, all the magical treasures and pills stored in the storage bag are unusable. How can one fight like this?
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself, if he really did achieve this, his name would surely resound throughout the Upper Realm.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Suddenly, the sound of crying came from outside. It turned out that the girl had learned that the paper crane had not flown away at all and that no elder could come to her rescue. She was so frightened that she burst into tears and trembled with fear.

She was only a young girl, and she was just out training with her senior brothers and sisters. There were no dangerous monsters in the mountains and forests, so she was training with the intention of having fun.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a top-tier demon here, a demon that could even snatch away their paper cranes used for pleading for help.

Is this still considered training?

This is clearly a suicide mission!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The little girl cried her heart out, lamenting her bad luck.

"Shut up, your crying is hurting my ears!"

The Siren King roared and slammed his spear into the yellow cloud barrier that the opponent had activated, startling Xu Shan and the other two.

The young man put on a fawning expression and said, "Brother, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I believe you are human now, and humans don't kill humans."

"Hahaha."

The Siren King laughed loudly, "Now you know fear? Too late! Brother, let's keep one person for questioning, and I'll eat these three."

"do not want!"

"Forgive me."

"We are inner disciples of the Yellow Crane Sect. The Yellow Crane Sect has already surrounded this mountain forest. If you eat us, you won't be able to leave this place either!"

Xu Shan called out urgently.

"Is the Yellow Crane Sect so great? With your level of skill, you dare to become inner disciples? The Yellow Crane Sect is probably nothing special. You think you can stop us? Bah!"

The Siren King snorted coldly.

Xu Shan said, "We are just the worst disciples who have only been in the inner sect for a few years. If our senior brother from the inner sect were here, you wouldn't be able to withstand a single sword strike from him. If a true disciple were to make a move, you wouldn't be able to withstand a single finger strike. And our Yellow Crane Sect elders are even more powerful experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm. With just a breath, they could take your life!"

The Siren King fell silent.

He did not doubt what the other person said.

Just dealing with these few guys took a lot of effort, and I haven't been able to replenish my energy yet.

Although we still have quite a few rare and precious herbs to replenish our qi and blood, we can't rely on these rare and precious herbs brought up from the lower realm forever.

Living off one's savings is not a good idea.

When one has exhausted all the rare and precious materials and one's vital energy, if one is still unable to absorb the spiritual energy of the world, one is doomed.

They didn't even need any elders at the Heavenly Origin Realm to intervene.

What is the Heavenly Origin Realm?

Zhang Lingshan asked.

Senior Brother Wang and Xu Shan were all taken aback.

Although the elder brother inside the cave had been hiding inside cultivating and had not revealed his true face, his ability to snatch the paper crane out of thin air was enough to terrify the four of them.

but.

Such a powerful person didn't even know about the Heavenly Origin Realm.

How did he cultivate?
Even if a demon's cultivation method is different from a human's, their cultivation level is not much different.

"What are you all spacing out for? My brother is asking you a question!"

The Siren King poked his senior brother, who was caught in the net by the Monster King, with his spear and asked in a cold voice.

Senior Brother Wang seemed to awaken from a dream and hurriedly said, "The path of cultivation is to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Depending on the number of acupoints opened in the body and the amount of primordial energy absorbed, it is divided into the following levels from weak to strong: Yellow Origin Realm, Profound Origin Realm, Earth Origin Realm, and Heaven Origin Realm. Above the Heaven Origin Realm is the Transformation Origin Realm, where one can truly transform the primordial energy of heaven and earth into one's own, becoming a darling of heaven and earth, with one's primordial energy flowing smoothly throughout one's body, and lifespan greatly increased."

"And beyond the Transformation Realm?" Zhang Lingshan continued to ask.

Senior Brother Wang smiled wryly and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know. Our Yellow Crane Sect's Sect Master is only at the Heavenly Origin Realm, and hasn't even broken through to the Transformation Origin Realm. And our Yellow Crane Sect's inheritance books don't mention what's above the Transformation Origin Realm."

Zhang Lingshan asked, "Is this primordial energy of heaven and earth also called immortal spiritual energy? Is primordial energy the same as immortal spiritual energy?"

Senior Brother Wang was taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask such a stupid question.

How could the primordial energy of heaven and earth possibly be the energy of immortals?

"No."

After thinking for a moment, Senior Brother Wang decided to explain in simple terms: "Immortal spiritual energy is the fundamental energy of the Immortal Realm. The primordial energy of heaven and earth here is only formed by the dissipation and evolution of immortal spiritual energy flowing down from the Immortal Realm. Immortal spiritual power can only be possessed by immortals who refine immortal spiritual energy."

"What!?" The Sea King couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You're saying this isn't the Celestial Realm?"

"The Immortal Realm?" Senior Brother Wang was taken aback.

Then Xu Shan exclaimed, "How could this be the Immortal Realm? The Immortal Realm is above the Nine Heavens, in a realm of nothingness and ethereal beauty. The primordial energy of heaven and earth here was formed by the celestial light that descended from the Nine Heavens, bringing with it the spiritual energy of immortals. Therefore, that celestial light is also called the Primordial River. It is the root of our realm's formation, hence it is also called the Source River."

The Sea King found it hard to accept and couldn't help but ask, "If this isn't the Celestial Realm, then what's this place called?"

Xu Shan said, “The Immortal Realm is above, and mortals are below. This place is naturally the mortal realm. It is said that the mortal realm is divided into three thousand domains, and our domain is called the Xuanjiang Domain. I read this in ancient books. You don’t even know these things, yet your strength is extraordinary. If I’m not mistaken, you must have smuggled yourselves up from the lower realm.”

Senior Brother Wang, along with the young man and woman, all looked at Xu Shan in surprise.

They were surprised that Xu Shan knew so much; where did he get all this knowledge from?
You should know that even the oldest and most knowledgeable senior brother, Wang, didn't know these things.

Xu Shan ignored the three people's surprised looks. She learned this knowledge from a jade slip she obtained in an ancient ruin during one of her training trips. The jade slip also contained a secret cultivation technique that she had been practicing.

Such a secret is naturally not to be told to outsiders.

However, she knew that her life lay in the secret knowledge she had acquired, and therefore she had no choice but to speak out.

After all, only by demonstrating his own value will these smuggled-in guys not eat him.

Of course, Xu Shan was only guessing whether the other party was illegally crossing the border.

After all, it's also possible that the other party is a powerful demon who has been hiding away to cultivate, and is ignorant of worldly affairs, which is why he doesn't know these things.

Under normal circumstances, a powerful demon of this level should be qualified to know these things.

If the other party is unaware of this, it is highly likely that they were smuggled in.

Fortunately, she guessed right.

Then Zhang Lingshan asked, "What does 'smuggling' mean?"

Xu Shan said, "It is said that each major domain governs three thousand continents, and our Xuanjiang Domain is no exception."

"Among the three thousand continents, there are formal ascension channels and informal ascension channels."

"Those who ascend through the proper ascension passage will enter the Ascension Hall, register their name, identity, and background, and will receive an identity jade token, freeing them from the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth."

"However, the identity jade token is not permanent. The first identity jade token was a gift from the Ascension Hall and was valid for one year."

"One year later, you will have to go to the Xuanjiang Palace in each major city to exchange for a new identity jade token. Otherwise, without the protection of the identity jade token, you will not be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and will be rejected and squeezed."

"If you're lucky, you might find shelter, but you have to be their slave to qualify for it."

"If you're unlucky, you'll either be crushed to death by the rules of heaven and earth, or die from the depletion of your inner energy."

"To exchange for an identity jade token, one needs rare and precious materials, various magical treasures, elixirs, or spirit coins."

“Spirit coins are the common currency in our Xuanjiang Domain. However, we are too weak to afford them. So we don’t have any on us, and we can’t let you see them.”

Xu Shan spoke eloquently, leaving the three senior brothers, Wang and his companions, completely bewildered.

What kind of spirit coins?
What kind of identity jade token is it, and how does it grant ascension to the main hall?

They've never even heard of it.

Does such a being truly exist in the Xuanjiang Domain?

If what Xu Shan said is true, then those who ascended to heaven must have a difficult time surviving.

They actually need to use identity jade tokens to protect themselves in order to survive.

But these locals of the Xuanjiang region have absolutely no need for these things.

"Those who come up through irregular ascension channels are smuggled."

Xu Shan continued to explain: "Those who have illegally crossed over will be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth because they do not have identity jade tokens. Therefore, they must go to the Ascension Hall to register as soon as possible. Gentlemen, I have a jade slip here, which records the location of the Ascension Hall. I am giving it to you in the hope that you can get there as soon as possible and turn danger into safety."

talking.

She took out a jade slip from her storage bag and said, "However, I can't give it to this fierce-looking guy. I want to give it to you personally. You are the eldest brother, a great demon. You certainly wouldn't want our flesh. I'm sure you'll spare us because I gave you this jade slip."

"can."

Zhang Lingshan said something, and then Xu Shan felt her hand go empty.

The jade slip in his hand simply vanished into thin air?
Everyone was shocked to see this.

This great demon's strength is terrifying! Is this a powerful being who ascended from the lower realm?

As Xu Shan said, these ascended experts who smuggled themselves in would be suppressed by the rules of the mortal realm because they did not have identity jade tokens.

Even under suppression, this person still possesses such methods.

That's absolutely incredible!

Inside the cave.

Zhang Lingshan held the jade tablet and immediately examined it with his divine sense.

He discovered that the jade tablet contained not only the map of the Ascension Hall that Xu Shan had mentioned, but also the information about the identity jade tablets that Xu Shan had previously mentioned.

According to the jade tablet, those who ascended to the top could join certain forces after obtaining their identity jade tablets and exchange them for cultivation techniques at the Transformation Realm by signing contracts.

With the Transformation Realm cultivation method, one can harness the power of blood and qi from the lower realm, the power of the internal organs, the spiritual energy contained within the body, and so on. Because the cultivation methods on each continent are different, the power contained within the body is also different.

But whatever it is, once you reach the Upper Realm and cultivate the Transformation Realm techniques, it will be transformed into Yuan Power.

Only in this way can one be considered to have initially integrated into this world.

However, as long as the energy within the body has not been completely transformed into Yuan Power, it is not considered a complete integration, and the identity jade token is still required for protection.

'But none of this concerns me.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

He now assumes the identity of the Xuan Tian Shangren, protected by the Xuan Tian Mirror, which is equivalent to the protection of his identity jade token, allowing him to freely absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

'The primordial energy of heaven and earth is not the energy of immortals; no wonder the improvement is so slow. It was the same in that sea area before. Such a vast sea couldn't fill an immortal body, showing how poor the primordial energy of heaven and earth truly is.'

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but complain.

With so little spiritual energy, when will I be able to fill my immortal body?

We must find a good place with celestial energy.

For example, the so-called source river.

Xu Shan said that the Source River is where the immortal spiritual energy falls. If she could go there to absorb the immortal spiritual energy, she estimated that she wouldn't even need energy points to directly push her immortal spiritual body to perfection.

"Little Xuanren, do you know where the Source River is?"

Zhang Lingshan communicated with his brow and asked. (End of Chapter)
