Five Immortals Gate

"What's wrong, Young Master Li?"

Mei Hongyu immediately noticed something was off with Li Yan's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"The ascension node I know leads to the Cangxuan Realm, but I don't have a node that goes to the Main Path Realm!"

Li Yan reached out and gently scratched his hair, feeling a bit troubled.

"Cangxuan Realm? That doesn't matter. I can cross the boundary myself when the time comes!"

Mei Hongyu didn't know where the Cangxuan Realm was. It was the first time she had heard of it. Her understanding of the upper realms was limited. She only learned about the name 'Main Path Realm' from the information provided by that mysterious master.

However, as long as she could ascend, wasn't that crossing boundaries? She had traversed many realms, both large and small, during her training in the lower realm. She would just have to put in a little extra effort.

But looking at Li Yan's expression, she vaguely felt that something was amiss.

"This… Fairy Mei, there are four major realms in the upper realms, each so vast that you can't even imagine. It's not something a cultivator can reach by simply flying.

To put it this way, a Nascent Soul cultivator trying to fly from one end to the other might die on a small section of the road before their lifespan runs out.

It's completely different from traveling from one continent to another in the lower realm. It's like the difference between heaven and earth.

Besides the long distance, the main difference I'm talking about is the danger involved. In the upper realm, Nascent Soul cultivators are just low-level cultivators, similar to Foundation Establishment cultivators in the lower realm.

There are countless strong individuals out there. Even Transformation God cultivators need to be careful and face constant dangers during such flights.

And for a Nascent Soul cultivator to travel long distances without protection, the chances of them dying are as high as seventy to eighty percent.

Furthermore, the super-long-distance teleportation arrays that cross realms within the four major realms are often built at the edges of a realm, at the four cardinal directions—east, south, west, and north.

The closest spatial node I have to a super-long-distance teleportation array is still farther than you can imagine.

And if you want to use this kind of cross-realm teleportation, you'll need a lot of high-grade spirit stones.

Even if all of this could be done and you could successfully teleport to the Main Path Realm, if the place you want to go to is relatively close to the edge of the Main Path Realm, it would be fine, but if it's farther away…"

Li Yan said helplessly. Mei Hongyu actually wanted to go to the Main Path Realm. With her cultivation, traveling that far was practically courting death!

Thinking about how difficult it was for Bu Luo to find Zuo Qiudan, even just traveling within the Cangxuan Realm, let alone Mei Hongyu crossing an entire major realm.

Although Li Yan only said a few words, Mei Hongyu was already stunned. She had never heard of such a situation.

The information she knew was gathered with great difficulty. It was that the Heavenly Dao rules of the Immortal Spirit Realm were more grand, allowing cultivators to advance faster without any restrictions.

Even these rare secrets that she knew were painstakingly gathered by her over many years of exploration.

She didn't have Li Yan's strong foundation. The inheritances of the four major sects recorded many secrets, but even the sect's own cultivators wouldn't reveal them easily, let alone a rogue cultivator like her.

She was now a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, a top existence in the lower realm, free to roam wherever she pleased.

Yet, according to Li Yan, she was like a Foundation Establishment cultivator walking outside, likely to die at any moment.

Suddenly, Mei Hongyu's beautiful eyes widened. She looked at Li Yan in surprise, suddenly realizing something.

"Li… Young Master Li, you… you came from the upper realm?"

Li Yan said helplessly.

After hearing this, Mei Hongyu fell into a long silence. She didn't expect Li Yan to be from the Immortal Spirit Realm. At this moment, she realized that she had been completely wrong for the past few months.

Judging from Li Yan's tone, his senior brother and senior sister should still be Nascent Soul cultivators. He was just here to bring them up together.

Originally, after determining Li Yan's cultivation, she had already thought that her aptitude was too poor, but she had long admitted Li Yan's excellence, which should still be considered within a relatively normal range.

Everyone was still in the mortal realm, which made Mei Hongyu feel a little better, but now she felt like an ignorant frog in a well.

What he said sounded like a fantasy to her. A Nascent Soul cultivator who could once dominate the world would become so fragile?

She was a powerful being who could tear through space, but she couldn't even cross two realms. And if she wanted to do all of this, she would need a lot of high-grade spirit stones.

High-grade spirit stones—how precious were they! She didn't even have one, let alone the many he mentioned.

Especially Li Yan, who had already successfully ascended. It was ridiculous that she was still guessing randomly.

"Then… does Young Master Li know if any of the ascension nodes that appear in the chaotic space in the lower realms might lead to the Main Path Realm?"

“I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but I really want to know where such a possibility exists, but… but I have nothing to trade…”

When Mei Hongyu said this, her expression was already dim. She didn't ask Li Yan about himself anymore, her heart was hanging on the realm of the Immortal Spirit World.

Although Li Yan said he didn't know the ascension node leading to the Main Path Realm, he came from the Immortal Spirit World, so he might know which area in the Lower Realm has an ascension node leading there.

And she only needs to have a rough area, and then she can slowly search for it later. If one year is not enough, then five years, if five years is not enough, then ten years or a hundred years to find it…

She doesn't have any top-grade spirit stones, not even one. Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare in the Lower Realm, and even the spirit stones she uses for cultivation are very tight.

Besides, even if top-grade spirit stones can be found in the Lower Realm, Li Yan didn't say how many are needed. Mei Hongyu knows that Li Yan doesn't want to discourage her, it's not something that can be solved with just a few stones.

Even if she can accumulate a few top-grade spirit stones, it's just a drop in the bucket. When she needs to teleport, she will probably be no different from a beggar.

When she hears the cost of teleportation, she probably won't even have the courage to continue listening.

“I really don’t know, otherwise I would have told the Fairy directly. Also, the upper realm sect of the Wangliang Sect is not in the Main Path Realm, so I haven’t inquired about the ascension situation there.

Otherwise, judging from the origins of the cultivators ascending from the Main Path Realm, it would really be possible to have a rough area judgment.”

After hearing this, Mei Hongyu immediately fell silent, her snow-white teeth biting her red lips. In this way, her path to find her master has once again become茫茫无期 (máng máng wú qī - uncertain and indefinite).

Li Yan was also thinking about this matter. He was excluding his known areas. For example, the space of the Lost Continent corresponds to the Sacrifice Nether Realm with a higher probability.

And the cultivators ascending from the Northern Ice Continent should be going to the Northern Shepherd Realm. The Wasteland Moon Continent is the Cangxuan Realm, but these are not absolute.

For example, Li Yan entered the turbulent space from the Wind God Continent and ended up in the Northern Shepherd Realm. Li Yan estimates that in the space near the Wasteland Moon Continent, there must also be nodes leading to the Main Path Realm.

“Then thank you, Young Master Li. Since it is so difficult to cross realms in the Immortal Spirit World, then I will not travel with you. I will go to other places in the Lower Realm to inquire.

Some powerful sects there should have forces in the Immortal Spirit World, maybe there are records of nodes leading to the Main Path Realm!”

Mei Hongyu raised her head, smiled sweetly at Li Yan, and her whole person returned to being incomparably beautiful.

Her loss just now was only a moment, and then she recovered. She has experienced too many bumps and hardships, but she has come all the way through.

Since she can get out of the predicament of the Azure Light Space, then what else can be difficult for her?

Mei Hongyu also thought of what her master said, to let her find her in the future, then she will definitely be able to do it.

She doesn't want to ascend with Li Yan now, because she can't afford the cost of crossing realms after going up.

The Immortal Spirit World is said to be so dangerous by Li Yan, she must try to take the shortest route, otherwise, it would be like a Foundation Establishment cultivator walking outside in the Lower Realm, the chance of falling is too great.

She doesn't have the slightest doubt about what Li Yan said. She understands Li Yan's character. This person never brags, and he is very low-key in his actions.

As long as he is willing to agree to something, he has never broken his word to her, and he would naturally not deliberately tease her on such a matter.

While speaking, Mei Hongyu bowed slightly to Li Yan.

Li Yan, who was thinking, suddenly heard Mei Hongyu speak like this, he immediately looked at her again. He understood what Mei Hongyu was thinking in an instant.

This method of hers may seem stupid, but it is actually a very reliable way.

Mei Hongyu has never been to the Immortal Spirit World before, so when she was looking for ascension nodes, her focus was on stability and reliability, and she didn't consider where to ascend to.

In her opinion, ascending is the most important thing, and then finding the place to go is just a matter of time.

Now that Mei Hongyu has clarified the situation, she immediately thought of the most stable method.

Any continent in the Mortal Realm, or a small realm, has its own top forces. Once these forces are connected to the Upper Realm, then it is possible to find out which realm they are in the Upper Realm.

In this way, searching for nodes according to the area where they ascended is very likely to ascend to the Main Path Realm. Although this search process is very long, it is very effective.

It's just… Although this method is reliable, the Mortal Realm is also vast and boundless. In addition to the five continents, there are countless other small realms.

Just like the Yin Yang Chaos Gate came to attack the Wangliang Sect cultivators last time, they came from such a small realm. If Mei Hongyu continues to search like this, I don't know when it will be possible?

“Fairy Mei, please wait!”

Seeing Mei Hongyu's expression return, she bowed and was about to fly away, Li Yan quickly called out to her. Mei Hongyu immediately stopped and couldn't help but look at Li Yan.
