What I teach you is real stuff.

"Is this the fairyland?"

Returning from the outer world to the Immortal Realm passage, and then officially ascending through the Immortal Realm passage to enter the Immortal Realm.

Lu Yuan and his two companions were also momentarily shocked after officially stepping into the Immortal Realm.

After all, the Immortal Realm was completely different from the Azure Heaven World they had previously in terms of both scenery and atmosphere.

Although they had learned about the Celestial Realm from other places before, they had never seen its true appearance before, so their shock was understandable.

The Celestial Realm is indeed a higher plane; both its terrain and scenery are far more beautiful and magnificent than those of the lower realm.

The air was thicker than that of the lower realm.

This energy must be the unique immortal energy of the immortal realm, which is purer and more powerful than spiritual energy. No wonder the cultivators of the higher planes are stronger and have a deeper foundation.

The higher the plane, the better the Qi cultivated is compared to the lower realm, naturally making one stronger and with a higher potential.

The three entered the Immortal Realm through the Immortal Gate, and after ascending, they arrived at the Immortal Realm's Guiding Platform.

This place has countless immortal gates, which are specifically used to guide experts from lower planes into the immortal realm.

Just then, they saw the three of them emerge from the immortal gate, and people were already heading their way.

"Fellow Daoists, my name is Zhang Xian. From which plane do you come?" The one who came to greet me was a local from the Immortal Realm. He looked quite important, dressed in fine clothes, and had a powerful aura, indicating that he was a True Immortal.

Although the man spoke politely, his face betrayed an undisguised arrogance.

After all, they are locals of the Immortal Realm, so they naturally consider cultivators who ascend from lower planes to be of a higher rank. Moreover, most of these ascendants from lower planes are at the peak of the Mahayana stage, or ordinary Celestial Immortals.

He is already a true immortal, so naturally he cannot be compared to him.

Lu Yuan said, "We all ascended from the Azure Heaven Plane."

Lu Yuan gave the name of the plane, and the person said, "Azure Sky Plane, not very familiar. It's not a major plane. Do you know anyone in the Immortal Realm or have any of your own Immortal Realm forces that you can join?"

If not, you can go over there to fill out the registration form.

The man inquired about the situation of Lu Yuan and the other two, and then led them in a direction. Following his gesture, they saw a registration desk not far away, where several cultivators with impressive auras were in charge of registration.

At this moment, several cultivators who had just ascended were filling out their information registration there, and some had even formed a queue.

Jiang Ming, curious, asked, "What's that for? What do you register?"

Zhang Xian said, "That's the Heavenly Court's registration office. All ascendants who have nowhere to go after their ascension can register there. After passing the test, they can become a member of the Heavenly Court, that is, a Heavenly Soldier. You've heard of that, right?"

"Heavenly soldiers and generals? I've heard of them."

Let alone cultivators, even ordinary mortals know about the heavenly soldiers and generals of the celestial court.

The Heavenly Court is indeed the most famous power in the celestial realm, ruled by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and it maintains a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals.

I never expected that these heavenly soldiers and generals were recruited directly from the Immortal Guiding Platform. No wonder there were so many of them.

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's words, Zhang Xian promptly corrected herself.

"Not heavenly soldiers and generals, but heavenly soldiers. You cultivators who have just ascended to heaven are only at the beginning of the Heavenly Immortal realm. Strictly speaking, you are not qualified to be heavenly soldiers. Even if you are selected, you can only start as heavenly soldiers in reserve. How can you be qualified to be heavenly generals?"

Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals belong to two different ranks of existence.

Although they are usually pronounced together, in the celestial realm, they are clearly ranked. The strength of a celestial general must be at least that of a True Immortal, and the strongest among them may even have the strength of a Profound Immortal. How could an ordinary ascendant be able to cause trouble as soon as they arrive?

These three ascendants from the lower realms clearly knew nothing, but they would learn later that the hierarchy in the immortal realm was even more strictly defined than in the lower realms.

Even a single realm can make all the difference.

Jiang Ming also found it outrageous upon hearing this.

The Immortal Realm was even more cruel than he had imagined. He looked at the cultivators queuing up to register at the Heavenly Court's registration desk. These people had all ascended from the Immortal Sect. Before their ascension, they were all top-tier Mahayana experts with great influence in the lower realm and held extremely high positions.

I never imagined that even after ascending to the Immortal Realm, I would only be able to start from the lowest level of a celestial soldier. The difference in dimensionality is too great.

Seeing Jiang Ming's complicated expression, Zhang Xian clearly understood something. He said, "You don't need to feel too disappointed. Everyone makes different choices."

If you want to become carefree immortals, you are free to venture out on your own. The Heavenly Court will not forcibly conscript immortals to become heavenly soldiers. Those who register to become heavenly soldiers on their own are actually ambitious.

Moreover, the Heavenly Soldiers aren't as insignificant as you imagine. You'll understand once you spend more time in the Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Court holds a very high position in the Immortal Realm, and even the lowest-ranking Heavenly Soldiers are not without status.

Joining the Heavenly Court is equivalent to directly joining the orthodox celestial realm, which is a legitimate opportunity for cultivators without a background to climb the ranks.

After all, many of the top-tier secret manuals and divine weapons within the Heavenly Court are not something that idle immortals can obtain outside.

Ultimately, it's all a personal choice.

The Immortal Realm is not devoid of ordinary people. Immortals are not commonplace even in the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm is vast and contains mortals as well.

However, mortals in higher planes are stronger, have longer lifespans, and have more advantages than those in lower planes.

Not everyone in the Immortal Realm is born an immortal; they all undergo a cultivation process. Therefore, there are other low-level cultivators in the Immortal Realm. Mahayana cultivators and Celestial Immortal cultivators are only less scarce and cheaper in top-tier forces such as the Immortal Guiding Platform, the Heavenly Court, and the Three Religions.

In fact, they are still quite rare in other parts of the immortal realm and still hold a certain status.

Those who choose to ascend to heaven and join the Heavenly Court as celestial soldiers are actually considered ambitious. After entering the Heavenly Court, they will have more channels to obtain more resources and divine weapons, and there is no doubt that they will be promoted to celestial generals or even become key immortals of the Heavenly Court in the future.

Of course, if you can't stand the difference in status, you can also have another option: go to other places in the Immortal Realm, find a small place to stay, or join some small sects in the Immortal Realm and become a Supreme Elder. You can still receive the same treatment and enjoyment as you would in the lower realm.

Many local sects in the Immortal Realm also welcome these Celestial Immortal Ancestors who have ascended from the lower realms to join them.

Jiang Ming understood after listening to Zhang Xian's explanation; so that's how it could be done.

However, from this perspective, for cultivators who want to continue progressing in the immortal realm and don't have a better place to go, joining the Heavenly Court is indeed a good choice.

Zhang Xian asked, "So, fellow Daoists, how will you choose?"

Lu Yuan then asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, so what is your identity? Who are you?"

Zhang Xian talked for a long time, but Lu Yuan noticed that he had only been introducing the situation of the Heavenly Court to them, and hadn't explained his own identity yet.

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "I'm also from the Heavenly Court. To put it bluntly, I'm here to recruit people."

Jiang Ming and the others then realized that this guy was also a member of the Heavenly Court who recruited people. No wonder he fawned over the Heavenly Court and implied in his words that he wanted to bring them in.

It seems this guy gets a commission for recruiting people into the Heavenly Court to become soldiers.

Zhang Xian could tell that Lu Yuan and the other two were not simple cultivators. He could tell just by looking at their auras. Many cultivators who ascended to immortality actually had weak auras and barely passed the Heavenly Tribulation.

Even if someone at the Mahayana level wanted to join the Heavenly Court, it was uncertain whether they could pass the Heavenly Soldier assessment, so Zhang Xian was too lazy to recruit them. But Lu Yuan and his two companions were different. Just from their aura, one could tell that these three were extraordinary, probably among the strongest in the lower realms.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, the potential for future advancement will be enormous. It is estimated that it will not be long before there is a chance to advance to the True Immortal level. In the future, they may be given important positions in the Heavenly Court, and becoming a Heavenly General is not impossible.

As the introducer of the heavenly soldiers, if the heavenly soldiers he introduced can be promoted to heavenly generals in the future, he can get a considerable commission.

He spoke so much to Lu Yuan and the other two because he valued their strength and background. Zhang Xian asked them what they wanted to do, saying that if they wanted to join the Heavenly Court, he had connections and could introduce them to acquaintances among the Heavenly Court's generals.

Those with potential, like Lu Yuan and his two companions, will generally receive special care once they join the Heavenly Court.

Lu Yuan simply smiled and politely declined Zhang Xian's offer.

Although the Heavenly Court offered good treatment, Lu Yuan did not have the idea of ​​joining the Heavenly Court immediately upon arriving in the Immortal Realm.

After all, he has too many secrets, and there are many top experts in the Heavenly Court. Joining rashly would not be of much benefit to him.

As for the resources and cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Court, he was not as lacking as other ascendants.

He has a system as his background, so what kind of cultivation techniques or divine weapons doesn't he have?
Given time, he can achieve everything on his own. Joining the Heavenly Court would be of no benefit to him, and as for that empty and pretentious position, it would be even more useless.

The only useful thing would be the protection he would receive after joining the Heavenly Court, but Lu Yuan doesn't have any enemies in the Immortal Realm right now, so he doesn't need it.

Moreover, he had acquaintances in the Immortal Realm, so none of the three of them, including Lu Yuan, had any intention of joining the Heavenly Court directly.

Zhang Xian politely declined, and Zhang Xian expressed his deep regret.

Seeing that Lu Yuan and the other two were about to leave the Immortal Guiding Platform, Zhang Xian was still unwilling and tried his best to persuade them to stay.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't you reconsider? Actually, the Heavenly Court offers very good benefits. They even give you Golden Pills after you join. At worst, I can personally give you some subsidies, okay?"
Believe me, with your potential, the three of you will quickly rise to the rank of Heavenly General after joining the Heavenly Court. Becoming a marquis or general in the future is not a dream! Sigh!

Zhang Xian sighed, watching the backs of Lu Yuan and the other two disappear into streaks of light, filled with regret.

It's a pity about these three promising talents. If he could have introduced them to the Heavenly Court, he could have made a fortune from their commissions.

However, these three guys didn't have that idea, and he couldn't stop them no matter what he tried.

Zhang Xian felt a pang of regret for a moment, then, seeing that more people from the other immortal sect had arrived, he shifted his focus to greeting the others.

……

After leaving Yinxiantai, Lu Yuan led Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming to look around first.

Because some time was wasted in the outer realms, even if King Golden Horn and his group were to come and fetch them, it would still take some time on the journey.

During this time, Lu Yuan and his group planned to explore the Immortal Realm.

This is my first time in the Celestial Realm, and everything is new and exciting.

From a great distance, they could see a huge celestial palace stretching across the sky.

"Teacher, that place must be the Heavenly Court, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "It is said that the Heavenly Court is magnificent and huge, a place where all immortals gather, and the number one power in the Immortal Realm. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

Lu Yuan looked up and couldn't help but sigh.

The Heavenly Court is far too large; compared to it, the Northern Continent Alliance he created in the mortal realm is like the moon compared to an ant.

The Heavenly Court is almost as large as the entire Great Luo Continent.

……

Boo!
Just as Lu Yuan and the other two were watching the Heavenly Court, a huge sound came from above, followed by terrifying heat. Lu Yuan looked up and saw a huge black bird flying overhead.

The black bird has golden wings, a body without a single stray feather, is engulfed in flames, and has three legs.

It looks exactly like the legendary Golden Crow.

"Three-legged Golden Crow!"

This is the sun in the celestial realm.

Legend has it that the true fire of the sun is the natal fire of the three-legged golden crow!

Lu Yuan looked at the three-legged golden crow. At this moment, the divine beast was patrolling the land of the immortal realm. Legend has it that the three-legged golden crow was the son of the Jade Emperor and one of the top divine generals of the Heavenly Court. It was extremely powerful.

I just don't know which is stronger, the Three-Legged Golden Crow or my own Ancestral Phoenix...

Lu Yuan thought to himself, but the Three-Legged Golden Crow is definitely stronger now, after all, his Ancestral Phoenix has only been hatched for a short time and has not yet grown up.

This three-legged golden crow is a top-tier divine general in the Heavenly Court, and its cultivation level probably surpasses that of a Golden Immortal.

But if Lu Yuan's ancestral phoenix grows up in the future, that's another story.

The Ancestral Beast's abilities and potential are terrifying.

The three-legged golden crow seemed to sense something, and looked down at Lu Yuan and the other two below, especially focusing on Lu Yuan.

He seemed to sense some kind of aura from Lu Yuan, but he didn't linger and quickly left.

Clearly, while Lu Yuan and his two companions, who had just ascended from the lower plane, possessed some mysterious qualities, they did not attract the attention of the Golden Crow God.

Once the golden crow had flown far away, Jiang Ming was filled with excitement and couldn't help but say, "Teacher, the immortals in this immortal realm are so powerful! We've only been in the immortal realm for a short while, and I can already sense hundreds of auras stronger than mine."

This feels amazing; I can fully improve myself here.

The Azure Heaven World is, after all, a lower plane. Once cultivators reach the Mahayana stage in a lower plane, their progress slows down, and their advancement becomes very slow.

However, this upper limit will disappear once the cultivator breaks through the shackles of Mahayana and passes through the ascension tribulation to reach the upper realm.

Because the celestial energy and resources of the upper realm will be elevated to a whole new level, making it easier to improve one's strength.

All ascendants enter a brief period of rapid growth after their ascension, during which their strength increases significantly.

Jiang Ming and Xiao Huang were already battle maniacs back in the Northern Continent Alliance.

Over the years, they have been stuck in the Mahayana stage in the lower plane for a long time without making a breakthrough, and they have been frustrated by the lack of opponents.

Now that I've arrived in the Immortal Realm and come into contact with even stronger beings, this long-lost feeling of improvement has returned, especially after seeing the terrifying aura emanating from the Golden Crow God.

True strength never fears those stronger; rather, it excites us in discovering higher realms. (End of Chapter)
