Chapter 1

"Your servant is Han Li, and I have ascended from the Spirit Realm. This is the legendary Flying Platform! Apart from fellow Daoist, it seems there is no one else here." Han Li lightly pressed the pool water with one hand and immediately flew out of the water. A green light flashed over his body, and there was not a single drop of water on him.

At this moment, he had already discovered that the Palm Heaven Bottle, the Primordial Five Elements Mountain, and other precious treasures were all safe and sound within his body. However, Mo Guang and the others were hidden in the spirit beast bag and showed no reaction at all.

This place looked like a very simple high platform. Apart from the water pool at the center, the platform was surrounded by a layer of azure light curtain.

Outside the light curtain, one could vaguely see goose-feather-like snowflakes dancing in the sky, and outside was a crystalline ice and snow world.

"It turns out it's Fellow Daoist Han. The Spirit Realm, this is quite a headache? Among the lower realms, two or three out of ten are called this. Never mind, I'll just register you casually. Anyway, the higher-ups generally don't come to check such matters." Gao Sheng frowned first, but then relaxed and said indifferently.

Then he grabbed the air with both hands, and a crystal-clear jade book and a pale silver giant pen instantly appeared in his hands. He quickly wrote something on the jade book.

Although Han Li was somewhat surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he stood still and quietly watched the other's actions.

A moment later, Gao Sheng's hands flashed with light, and the jade book and the giant pen disappeared at the same time. In their place, a thin purple-golden jade tablet appeared, and he smiled and handed it to Han Li.

"What is this?" Han Li did not immediately take it but asked calmly.

"This is Fellow Daoist's Immortal Tablet. After every ascended immortal is registered, they can receive this. With this, you can enter major immortal cities without any inspection and enter some special places without paying any fees. Hehe, this is a privilege only for ascended immortals like you. Those of us who are true immortals from the Immortal Realm do not have such treatment." Gao Sheng said with an unusually envious tone.

"Oh, why is that?" Han Li finally showed a hint of surprise.

"The Immortal Realm is boundless, and the number of true immortals from the native Immortal Realm is counted in the tens of millions. However, the number of immortals who ascend from the lower realms by their own strength is very few. But among the high-ranking immortals in various immortal domains, the number of ascended immortals and native immortals is not much different. What this represents, Fellow Daoist should be very clear, right?" Gao Sheng explained with a smile.

"I see, I understand somewhat. Since the Immortal Realm has such regulations, I will not be polite." Han Li seemed to understand, nodded, and then raised his hand to take the purple-golden jade tablet. Lowering his head, he saw that it was clearly engraved with his full figure, lifelike, and beside it were his name and the characters 'Ascended' in golden script.

Han Li flicked his sleeve, and the jade tablet instantly disappeared. He smiled and asked, "From the tone of Brother Gao, the Immortal Realm seems to have a certain order. But what does Fellow Daoist mean by 'the higher-ups'?"

"You don't need to ask too much about this, Brother Han. As long as you read the contents recorded in this memory stone, you will have a general understanding." Gao Sheng did not say more, raised his hand, and threw a blue crystal stone over, replying.

"Thank you, Brother Gao." Han Li caught the crystal stone, showing a hint of gratitude on his face. He pressed it to his forehead, understood the usage method, and after slightly activating a spell, immersed his divine sense into it.

After a full teacup of time, Han Li finally took the crystal stone off his forehead, sighed lightly, and said slowly, "I see, the Immortal Realm is now divided into countless immortal domains, and these immortal domains are supervised by various immortal palaces. This is quite interesting, just supervision and not rule?"

"Fellow Daoist is indeed a wise person. Since that's the case, I will explain the current major situation of the Immortal Realm to you. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested in hearing a bit about it!" Gao Sheng's face showed a hint of strange expression as he asked.

"Please enlighten me, Brother Gao." Han Li clasped his hands and his expression became more serious.

"Fellow Daoist Han, don't be too polite. The situation in the Immortal Realm is indeed quite different from what you might expect. Although the immortal domains are nominally led by the immortal palaces, in reality, each immortal domain has many major forces that are as powerful as the immortal palaces, and some even surpass the immortal palaces in their own domains. However, the various Dao Ancestors need the Immortal Realm to maintain a certain order to avoid major chaos that would be difficult to handle. Therefore, they tacitly accept that the immortal domains are nominally led by the immortal palaces. Of course, these immortal palaces themselves are among the major forces in the immortal domains, otherwise they would not be able to command respect. The leaders of these immortal palaces are also very sensible and generally do not offend other major forces of equal strength, so the current Immortal Realm is relatively peaceful. As long as you do not violate certain Immortal Realm laws, you can live a good and carefree life in the Immortal Realm. As an ascended immortal, your situation is slightly different from that of native immortals. Even after a true immortal has undergone the lightning tribulation and the true essence in their body has begun to change, accepting immortal spirit energy, it will still take several hundred years for a complete transformation. If I were Fellow Daoist, I would definitely choose to join a major force in an immortal domain and wait until the true essence in my body is completely transformed before considering other matters. Otherwise, as a newcomer to the Immortal Realm, the daily consumption of immortal spirit crystals alone would be a considerable amount." Gao Sheng no longer held back and spoke at length.

Han Li listened while showing a thoughtful expression.

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Gao. From your tone, you are not from the immortal palace, right?" Han Li smiled and suddenly asked.

"Fellow Daoist Han has seen through it. I am indeed not from the immortal palace, but from the Stone Jidian. I am here only to handle some tasks assigned by the immortal palace to our hall. However, if Fellow Daoist is willing to join our hall now, I would be extremely welcome. The Stone Jidian not only provides all the benefits that other forces offer, but I can also decide that Fellow Daoist can freely choose a high-level immortal cultivation technique from the Ascension Pavilion of our hall for free." Gao Sheng also smiled, without any intention of hiding.
