A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

Qian Shanyong said, "There is a separation between immortals and mortals. Once I arrive in the cultivation world, I will no longer be able to learn about the immortal realm."

"Is that really so?" Luo Cheng asked, his gaze fixed on Qian Shanyong, making Qian feel uneasy.

Sitting next to him, Lin Chen watched as Luo Cheng talked with a celestial being and even seemed to have the upper hand, which made him feel a sense of pride.

Qian Shanyong gave a wry smile before telling the truth: "I have a special way of contacting you, but I can't get much information from you."

"Tell me what you know."

"I've heard that immortals have descended to the mortal realm."

"this one?"

Qian Shanyong said, "Brother Luo, I have already left the Immortal Realm. It is already quite remarkable that I was able to learn of this news."

"Hehe." Luo Cheng chuckled lightly, not exposing him further. He knew very well that Qian Shanyong had cultivated many cultivators over the years, and after these people ascended to immortality, they became his spies in the Immortal Realm.

"I also know some information," Luo Cheng said. "The immortal who came down this time should be Lone Star."

The words "lone star" startled Qian Shanyong. Upon closer inspection, a hint of anxiety and frustration was visible in his eyes.

Lin Chen used his divine sense to transmit his voice: "Brother Cheng, is this Lone Star here to capture him? Judging from his appearance, he seems very afraid of Lone Star."

Qian Shanyong composed himself and said calmly, "Speak your mind directly, there's no need to use telepathy."

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed.

Luo Cheng unleashed his divine power to protect Lin Chen, and said in a deep voice, "Old Qian, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to bully my Daoist partner?"

Overwhelmed by Luo Cheng's imposing presence, Qian Shanyong quickly forced a friendly smile: "Sorry, sorry."

Lin Chen was surprised that a celestial being would apologize, and immediately waved his hand, saying, "It's alright."

Luo Cheng turned to Qian Shanyong: "Old Qian, there's something else I need to talk to you about."

Qian Shanyong could only accept the title "Old Qian"; his strength was inferior, and there was nothing more to say. He asked, "What is it?"

"You know where Yuan Gu lives, right?"

"You actually know about Master Yuangu?" Qian Shanyong was somewhat surprised.

"Is it strange that I know about Yuan Gu?"

"Not surprising." Ever since meeting Luo Cheng, Qian Shanyong had felt that the man was strange in every way, so he wasn't surprised. He thought to himself, "I should meet with Master Yuangu; there are some things I should report."

So he asked, "Do you want me to take you to see Master Yuangu?"

"That's the idea."

"It's not impossible."

Luo Cheng added, "I want to take Li Qiang with me."

"Sure, he's a cultivator, taking him along is no problem."

Seeing that Qian Shanyong readily agreed, Luo Cheng decided to offer him a reward: "Old Qian, I know you want to see 'The Heavenly Recommendation Chapter for Cultivating Gods,' I can let you take a look."

Qian Shanyong's eyes instantly flashed with golden light, making no attempt to hide his desire for the cultivation technique.

Just then, a golden light appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, and a voice came from within: "Young Luo, I'd like to see that Divine Cultivation Technique too."

Even though he was enveloped in golden light, Luo Cheng knew who the person was.

Upon hearing the clear female voice, Lin Chen was secretly surprised: "It's a female immortal." He also felt a surge of curiosity.

As the golden light faded, Lin Chen saw a female immortal clad in celestial armor, exuding a dashing and noble aura. At the same time, she also felt a terrifying pressure, inwardly sighing, "Being with an immortal is truly unsettling."

Of course, she also envied this female immortal and hoped that one day she could also become an immortal.

Luo Cheng remained silent, but Qian Shanyong stepped forward first: "You cannot look at this cultivation technique."

"Why?" The female fairy immediately became angry.

"If I say you can't watch it, then you can't watch it."

Lin Chen watched quietly from the side, thinking to herself, "The relationship between these two immortals seems to be unusual." She could tell that although the female immortal's tone was unfriendly, she was subtly trying to charm Qian Shanyong.

Luo Cheng smoothed things over: "Old Gan, this isn't a secret. It's just that cultivating to godhood is risky; you could explode at any time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately became worried: "Brother Cheng, are you practicing a divine cultivation technique?"

"Yes." Seeing the worry on her face, Luo Cheng quickly reassured her, "It's alright, cultivating divinity is very simple for me."

These words struck Qian Shanyong like a heavy blow. He could see that Luo Cheng's cultivation level was extremely stable, with no risk of his body exploding, and Luo Cheng had only been cultivating for a short time, yet his strength had already surpassed his own. 'Indeed, there are differences between people,' he thought to himself, feeling secretly frustrated.

At this moment, Dai Nanfeng (the female immortal) became even more curious about Luo Cheng: "Young Luo, how did you cultivate?"

"I just practice casually, and my level goes up easily."

These words were even more infuriating. You have to understand, she and Qian Shanyong cultivated for over 100,000 years to reach their current level.

Luo Cheng took out a jade slip and handed it to Qian Shanyong: "I can tell you the cultivation method, but how to do it specifically is up to you."

Dai Nanfeng tried to snatch it, but Qian Shanyong put it away first. He smiled wryly and said, "Fengyu, let me take a look first, and then we'll study it together."

"I hope you keep your word."

Luo Cheng taught them divine cultivation techniques because he wanted to befriend these two immortals—Lin Chen would be staying on Fengyuan Star to cultivate, and he would need their help in the future.

After finishing their business, Luo Cheng rose to take his leave, departing with Lin Chen. He knew that with Lin Chen's current cultivation level, spending too much time with immortals would be very uncomfortable.

As soon as he left, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "The immortals are so handsome and beautiful, but it's so uncomfortable to be with them."

"Once you become an immortal, you won't feel sad when you see immortals again."

"I never imagined I'd have the chance to become an immortal." Lin Chen's eyes gleamed. This encounter with a true immortal strengthened her resolve, making her truly believe in the existence of immortals and giving her a clear direction for her cultivation.

After calming down a bit, Lin Chen suddenly said, "I don't want to stay on Fengyuan Star, I want to follow you."

"No." Luo Cheng refused decisively, then softened his tone, "You've already seen immortals, and you know the gap between yourself and them. Even immortals wouldn't be confident of getting to the place I'm going."

"Then don't go!"

"Cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens."

Lin Chen understood everything, but she couldn't bear to part ways.

Luo Cheng's voice softened: "Cultivating immortality allows us to live freely and can also make up for many regrets."

"Mmm." Lin Chen's voice was soft as she leaned gently against Luo Cheng.

"Once our cultivation reaches a certain level, we can go to the underworld and resurrect our deceased loved ones."

"Really?" Lin Chen's eyes lit up. She had tried her best to keep her parents with her, but in the end, she couldn't withstand the passage of time. This was her biggest regret.

"Let's work together to cultivate ourselves."

"it is good."

In the days that followed, Luo Cheng accompanied Lin Chen as they wandered around Fengyuan Star, enjoying the scenery. During this time, he crafted many treasures for Lin Chen, as well as a large number of jade talismans. With these items, Lin Chen could survive even if he encountered an immortal.

Lin Chen felt a sweet warmth in her heart. This person didn't say it, but he kept her in his heart.

Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to take Lin Chen to see Yuan Gu, but her cultivation level was too low. To see Yuan Gu, they needed to ride the Starry Sky, which was extremely fast and generated terrifying spacetime power; only immortals could withstand this pressure.

During this time, Luo Cheng explained a lot of common knowledge about cultivation to Lin Chen, and she gradually stopped throwing tantrums. She understood that it wasn't that Luo Cheng didn't want to help her; ultimately, it was because her cultivation level was insufficient.

After parting ways, Lin Chen went into seclusion at the Chongxuan Sect. She knew that if she didn't work hard at her cultivation, the gap between her and Luo Cheng would only widen.

On the other hand, after Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng comprehended the cultivation technique, they decided to go see Master Yuangu, which could be considered as seeking his protection.

As the Starshine activated, it transformed into a streak of light, rapidly traversing the universe. A terrifying force of spacetime swept over, yet Luo Cheng remained calm.

Dai Nanfeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Luo, what realm are you at now?"

"One Brahma."

There are nine levels of cultivation, corresponding to nine major realms. Luo Cheng is currently still in the first realm.

"Impossible!" Dai Nanfeng exclaimed in disbelief. He knew that when the three of them first met, Luo Cheng had easily suppressed them even in a two-on-one fight; Luo Cheng's strength must be at least at the fourth level of the Burning Heaven realm.

Although Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng had comprehended the realm of divine cultivation, they did not dare to try it lightly, as they were not confident in their ability to withstand the risks of divine cultivation. However, they were clear about the power levels of each realm of divine cultivation; a Brahma Heaven cultivator was at most equivalent to a newly ascended immortal.

Luo Cheng explained, "My cultivation level is higher, so I can unleash greater power."

The two immortals then realized. The key to cultivating divinity is that one's realm must be higher than one's cultivation level, so as not to risk the body exploding. But when one truly cultivates divinity, one loses control of one's body.

When Luo Cheng left Fengyuan Star, he sent a message to Li Qiang. Surprisingly, Li Qiang hadn't even reached Lin Star yet. This was normal; Lin Star was too far from Fengyuan Star, and it would take hundreds of years to teleport there from one planet to another.

Upon learning that Li Qiang had not yet arrived, Luo Cheng sent another message, telling him to wait where he was and that he would take him to see an ancient immortal.

The speed of the Stars is much faster than that of the teleportation array, so immortals never use teleportation arrays to travel; they always ride the Stars.

Time flies like an arrow; two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Cheng truly felt the passage of time.

Yunling Star is an ancient cultivation planet with three major sects. At this moment, Li Qiang is waiting for Luo Cheng here, taking the opportunity to experience the local customs and culture of this alien world.

Li Qiang's arrival brought a lot of vitality to Yunling Star. He participated in weapon crafting competitions, learned talisman-making techniques, and sparred with others. In a short time, he became a celebrity on Yunling Star and a respected powerhouse among cultivators.

When Luo Cheng arrived at Yunling Star, he jokingly said, "Junior brother, judging from your appearance, you're doing quite well here."

"Senior brother, you've finally arrived!" Li Qiang was overjoyed to see him.

A moment later, Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng also landed. Li Qiang was somewhat surprised: "Two immortals, why are you here too?" He wasn't one to hold grudges; he had long forgotten the unpleasantness from last time.

Luo Cheng said, "This time, I'll take you to see an ancient immortal."

"Ancient immortals? What kind of immortals are those?"

Qian Shanyong said, "Ancient immortals are immortals with great magical power and supernatural abilities. We should all be respectful when we see them."

"Great supernatural power?" Li Qiang asked curiously, "Is it stronger than my senior brother's?"

Luo Cheng frankly admitted, "As things stand, the ancient immortals are much stronger than me."

Qian Shanyong activated the Star Radiance, and everyone continued their journey towards the ancient immortal's abode.
