What I teach you is real stuff.

Lu Yuan naturally understood what they meant. Although the ancestors of this group of alchemists had been in the immortal realm for many years, they were still just rogue immortals.

After all, they are alchemists by profession, and their natural talent for cultivation is extremely high. It can be said that their ability to ascend to the Immortal Realm has little to do with their own talent for cultivation. Nine out of ten top alchemists ascend by consuming the medicines they themselves concoct.

The situation of these immortals is now more awkward and polarized than that of ordinary ascendants.

Those with exceptional alchemy skills and rapid progress can become honored guests of top powers. They are usually recruited and absorbed by the Heavenly Court as soon as they ascend to heaven.

Those with average alchemy and progress abilities are in trouble. They can't fight, and they can't refine any top-tier pills. They can't pursue either the literary or martial path, so naturally, life in the immortal realm is very difficult.

Although the alchemist alliance's ancestors ascended early and are legendary figures in the Azure Heaven World, living a high and mighty life, their lives in the Immortal Realm are actually not easy.

While not exactly miserable, they were merely surviving in the celestial realm, barely managing to get by.

After witnessing the power and supreme status of top-tier true immortals, which cultivator who ascends from a lower plane to the immortal realm wouldn't want to make a name for themselves in the immortal realm?
However, the top group of true immortals throughout history has basically remained unchanged, and it is too difficult to stand out without a background and resources.

This is why countless ascendants are desperate to join the three religions or willingly become soldiers in the Heavenly Court—it's all about getting ahead.

The old masters of the Alchemist Alliance wanted to become Heavenly Soldiers, but they were rejected. Don't ask why; their combat strength was too weak. They were basically just floor tiles in their respective realms. With such strength, they couldn't even pass the first screening of the Heavenly Soldiers' assessment.

Don't look down on the heavenly soldiers. Those who are chosen to be heavenly soldiers are the best among the many ascendants from the lower planes.

Lu Yuan knew they were having a hard time, so even before he ascended, they were incredibly eager to curry favor with him, and now they were subtly and overtly hinting at it.

Although Lu Yuan disliked these overt and covert hints, to be fair, the old masters of the Alchemist Alliance had indeed done a lot for him.

What's that saying again? Even if you haven't achieved great things, you've still put in the effort.

Looking at their hopeful eyes, Lu Yuan took a sip of wine and said, "I have just ascended to immortality, and I am not in a hurry to do anything right now. However, I intend to create a new force in the Immortal Realm, which will be different from the Northern Continent Alliance in the lower realm. If you are interested, you can join me then."

Bad news: They bet on the wrong horse; Lu Yuan is not some so-called disciple of the Humanist Cult.

Good news: It wasn't a mistake; by a twist of fate, the bet landed in the hands of the system holder.

Lu Yuan has just arrived in the Immortal Realm and is not very familiar with it yet, so he really needs some time to understand the Immortal Realm and adapt to the new environment.

He couldn't possibly make a big move in a completely unfamiliar place in a short time. Firstly, he didn't have the resources, and secondly, his strength was far from sufficient. This wasn't a lower plane.

Golden Immortals abound, and even more powerful beings at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal and Ancestor level establish their own sects to carve up this huge cake of the Immortal Realm.

With countless top-tier experts eyeing the opportunity, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and grab a piece of the Immortal Realm's big cake. Lu Yuan doesn't want to be the first to act so soon.

He didn't believe that these Golden Immortal Saints in the Immortal Realm were truly saints. In the new Immortal Realm where absolute strength represented status, going to the dinner table without a knife and fork would easily result in them being devoured, leaving not even bones behind.

Lu Yuan doesn't want to do anything fancy in the short term; he has a lot to do right now.

Firstly, since I have just arrived in the Immortal Realm, my cultivation level is not yet fully consolidated, and I need some time to solidify my cultivation.

Secondly, I became familiar with the immortal realm.

Third, during his ten years in the outer world, he obtained the materials to refine the puppets of the Heavenly Demon City, and decided to figure out how to make the puppets first.

Fourth, if he wants to truly establish himself in the Immortal Realm, he must improve his cultivation level as soon as possible. If he wants to have some say in the Immortal Realm, he must at least be a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal).

Only after all four things are done can he consider anything else.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the elders of the Alchemist Alliance were clearly disappointed. They had originally thought that Lu Yuan would return to the Human Sect as soon as he ascended to the Immortal Realm.

They were also hoping that Lu Yuan would bring them into the Human Sect for cultivation. If they could enter the Human Sect, they might be able to undergo a complete transformation, defy fate, and soar to great heights.

But to my surprise, Lu Yuan didn't even mention the matter of human tutoring.

However, it wasn't all bad news, because Lu Yuan also said that after he settled down, he planned to establish his own power in the Immortal Realm, and if anyone wanted to join, they could join as initial shareholders.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of these elders lit up.

They knew of the Northern Continent Alliance's legendary status in the lower realms, and Lu Yuan's intention to establish his own sect in the Immortal Realm presented them with another opportunity to place their bets.

Moreover, judging from Lu Yuan's previous entrepreneurial experience, he single-handedly created the behemoth that is the Northern Continent Alliance in the lower plane, so there is no doubt that Lu Yuan has the means and ability to do so.

So is there even a question? Of course, we'll invest.

There's no going back once you miss this opportunity.

The elders of the Alchemist Alliance immediately stated their position, saying that they were originally members of the Northern Continent Alliance, and since Alliance Leader Lu was determined to create new glories in the Immortal Realm, they, as elders of the alliance, should naturally be the first to join.

Lu Yuan said, "Don't be too optimistic. I'm just giving it a try. Whether it will succeed or not is still uncertain."

Although Lu Yuan already possessed a plane of existence and had extensive experience with the Northern Continent Alliance, starting a business in the Immortal Realm was ultimately a first for him, essentially a complete overhaul.

Moreover, the situation in the Immortal Realm is far more complex than in the lower realms, so whether it can come true is uncertain.

Furthermore, there are bound to be many troubles on the road to entrepreneurship. How easy is it to snatch a piece of cake from the hands of the myriad saints and immortals of the celestial realm?

It is foreseeable that bloodshed and sacrifice will be inevitable.

Lu Yuan told them to think it over carefully before making a decision.

He immediately got up and left.

The old masters of the Alchemist Alliance are left to think things through.

After leaving Hualong Tower, Golden Horn King, Wu Song, Xiao Huang, and Jiang Ming followed Lu Yuan. Zi Chen, being a member of the Alchemist Alliance, naturally had to take care of his ancestor and did not follow.

King Golden Horn asked, "Does Master truly have the idea of ​​establishing his own sect in the Immortal Realm?"

King Jinjiao and Wu Song ascended to the Immortal Realm before Lu Yuan. After ascending, they contacted their respective ancestors in the Immortal Realm.

Their ancestor has long since joined another force. The ancestor behind the Martial God Sect is a disciple of a major force in the Immortal Realm. In the first few years after their ascension, their ancestor also allowed the Golden Horn King and the others to enter their sect.

However, King Jinjiao and Wu Song decided to follow Lu Yuan, so they have been independent cultivators in the Immortal Realm for many years, each cultivating in the Jade Heaven Kingdom.

Currently, King Jinjiao's cultivation has reached the second realm of Celestial Immortal, Taiyi Celestial Immortal, and he is not far from becoming a True Immortal. In a few hundred years, he will be able to break through to the True Immortal realm.

Wu Song was similar; both of them practiced the improved version of the cultivation technique that Lu Yuan later modified. The technique was more exquisite than the techniques of many powerful beings in the immortal realm, and it directly pointed to the Golden Immortal realm.

As long as they don't die and have enough resources, their path to becoming a Taiyi Xuanxian or even a Jinxian will be very smooth.

Not to mention that the two of them have also comprehended the laws. Given sufficient resources and background, they are both potential candidates for becoming Great Luo Golden Immortals.

They were already worried about what to do next, as they couldn't continue to be wandering immortals with too few cultivation resources.

The competition in the Immortal Realm is too brutal. In fact, with their current aptitude, having comprehended the laws in the Sea of ​​Laws, it would be incredibly easy for these promising talents to join a major power. The Heavenly Court, the Three Religions, the West—as long as they are willing, a nod is all it takes for someone to come and fetch them immediately.

This is the true value of comprehending the principles.

However, they also know where everything they have now comes from. Originally, with their talents, it was still unknown whether they could ascend to the upper realm in this lifetime.

They owe everything they have today to their teacher; they even comprehended the laws only after Lu Yuan led them into the Sea of ​​Laws.

Therefore, the two of them were also aware of this, which is why they were able to resist the temptation.

Following the teacher is so great; compared to that, even the Heavenly Court is nothing.

Even though the Jade Emperor is powerful and the Heavenly Court is supreme, he cannot allow his subordinates to comprehend the laws.

Originally worried about cultivation resources and future prospects, the Golden Horn King and his companion were delighted to hear that their teacher intended to start a business in the Immortal Realm and build a new force. Naturally, they decided to continue following Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said, "It's just an idea, but we're not sure when we'll actually do it."

Lu Yuan's task, as assigned by the system, is to continue developing the Great Luo Sect in the Immortal Realm. However, establishing a sect in the Immortal Realm is extremely difficult, and he must proceed with extreme caution. Lu Yuan must take it one step at a time.

To establish a school of thought, one must first possess the strength to do so.

The two, King Jinjiao and King Jinjiao, said, "We also need to cultivate as soon as possible to assist our teacher."

There aren't many members of the Northern Continent Alliance in the Immortal Realm right now, just a handful. If they want to stand out in the Immortal Realm, they need to unite even more.

New world, new beginning.

The bad news is that I'm unfamiliar with the place and have few capable people around me, and my own level of understanding is not high.

But it's not all bad news. At least Chen Nanxuan isn't in the Immortal Realm, and the fact that the Celestial Venerable Nanxuan isn't dragging him down is the best news.

Lu Yuan felt that he would be more successful in a world without Chen Nanxuan.

……

Led by the Golden Horned King, they arrived at a treasure land in the Jade Heaven Kingdom.

King Jinjiao said, "Master, I have purchased this place. From now on, we can all cultivate here. Although it is far inferior to some of the top treasure lands in Dongsheng Divine Continent, it is still quite good within the Jade Heaven Kingdom."

King Jinjiao and Wu Song had been fighting in the Immortal Realm for many years, and the Northern Continent Alliance in the lower realm had been supplying them with resources. Before Lu Yuan ascended to the Immortal Realm, they had already bought a property there.

Lu Yuan looked around and found the place to be quite nice. Although it wasn't considered a top-tier treasure land in the Immortal Realm, nine Immortal Realm spiritual veins had been moved here using powerful methods, making it far superior to the treasure lands in lower planes.

One can imagine that the speed of cultivation and training here would be absolutely terrifying.

King Golden Horn had made preparations in advance; everything was readily available here. Lu Yuan released his Sacred Ruins Cave, which would become their base in the Immortal Realm from now on.

……

In the Sacred Ruins, Lu Yuan sat on a futon, deep in thought.

"Upon entering the Immortal Realm, I found it to be completely different from the Azure Heaven World. I could sense that the power of the Great Dao here was more than ten thousand times that of the Azure Heaven World. Great powers gathered here, and there was an arena for geniuses. Ascension and Mahayana were merely the thresholds to entering the Immortal Realm."

Before his ascension, Lu Yuan was invincible and unafraid of the true immortals of the upper realm because he knew that the truly top-tier powerhouses of the upper realm would not personally go down to the lower realm.

Back then, dealing with cultivators from lower planes was at most a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal).

Golden Immortals and Great Luo Golden Immortals wouldn't even give him a second glance, so Lu Yuan could act recklessly before ascending to immortality.

But things change after ascension; in the immortal realm, anything is possible.

Golden Immortals and Great Luo Immortals will really take action here, and being too conspicuous will bring you countless troubles and make you very dangerous.

Knowing he had too many secrets, Lu Yuan knew he had to keep a low profile here and not act rashly.

No matter what, one must break through to at least the Xuanxian level before discussing this further.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and entered a meditative state.

Upon arriving in the Immortal Realm, the spiritual energy within his body was also undergoing a transformation. He first converted all the spiritual energy in his body into immortal energy to see how much his cultivation level would improve after the transformation.

Cultivators from lower planes all undergo a transformation process when they first enter the Immortal Realm.

After completing the transformation of immortal energy, a period of rapid expansion of strength follows. After all, ascended cultivators have been cultivating in lower planes where resources are scarce, and their potential cannot be fully released.

Now, once you enter the Immortal Realm, where the rules of the Great Dao are even higher, it's like a sponge getting into water; it will absorb water like crazy, and the sky's the limit.

The greater one's talent, the deeper one's foundation, the greater one's potential, and the stronger one's rebound.

It is not a myth that some top ascendants break through to the Taiyi Celestial Immortal level in just a few years after completing their immortal energy transformation upon ascending to the Immortal Realm.

There are also some truly powerful ascensionists, some of whom even directly entered the Xuanxian realm in a very short time, achieving ascension in one step.

Lu Yuan began to transform his immortal energy, wanting to see how far he would improve.

Peak Celestial Immortal? Taiyi Celestial Immortal? Xuan Immortal? Or even higher?

On the other side, Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming were also transforming in their respective caves, and their auras were rising.

……

Soon, five years passed, and Jiang Ming became the first to complete the transformation of immortal energy.

Strictly speaking, he didn't have any immortal energy to convert. He cultivated his physical body, and the past few years were just about making his body more adaptable to the environment of the immortal realm, which was simply a matter of conforming to the Great Dao.

Therefore, he adapted much more easily than Lu Yuan and Xiao Huang. This process usually takes at least several decades, and sometimes even hundreds of years.

But Jiang Ming completed it in five years, which is indeed fast.

After completing the transformation, Jiang Ming's strength also increased, and the mortal particles in his body rapidly expanded their power after adapting to the environment of the immortal realm.

It should be noted that Jiang Ming's cultivation method involves cultivating countless mortal particles within his body, stacking them up like stacked boxes to increase his combat power. The strength of a single mortal particle is limited, but when combined, they become incredibly terrifying, comparable to a true immortal.

In the lower plane, the rules of Heaven are limited, and Jiang Ming's mortal particles are also restricted.

Now that he has ascended to the Immortal Realm, and his physical body and cultivation techniques have officially aligned with the Immortal Realm, the individual strength of the mortal particles within his body is also increasing dramatically, directly driving his overall strength to surge. Jiang Ming felt the explosive improvement within his body, and even he couldn't help but shout "Awesome!"

The feeling of rapidly expanding one's strength is truly exhilarating. (End of Chapter)
