A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"That's certainly true."

The immortal elder smiled confidently and explained it to him.

"As long as you can cultivate this technique to perfection during this period."

"When you ascend, you can bypass the seal and arrive at the place where my immortal clan is received."

According to her, the technique she taught was clearly a special method for ascending to immortality.

However, this also aligns with what she said earlier.

What the other party can offer is not a chance to turn a waste into a genius, but an opportunity to help one ascend to immortality.

If one lacks talent, even if given this technique, there will be no opportunity to use it.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to reach the realm of ascension...

"I see, I understand now."

Ye Yun nodded and bowed respectfully to him.

"Thank you, senior, for bestowing upon me the ascension technique. I will forever remember your kindness."

At least for the time being, the other party's initiative to grant him the ascension technique was helping him, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a favor.

"Of course, of course."

The immortal elder smiled calmly.

Seeing this, I am very gratified that Ye Yun is grateful and repays the kindness.

Then, Ye Yun remembered the question from earlier and asked it again.

"By the way, senior, what exactly is this 'Heaven and Earth Seal' that you mentioned earlier?"

The other party just kept us in suspense and hasn't explained yet.

When this matter was mentioned, the immortal elder pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out how to explain it.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said.

"Actually... the reason is quite simple: it's to limit the number of people in the Immortal Realm."

"Limited number of participants?"

This reason struck Ye Yun as somewhat strange.

"Judging from what you're saying, senior, there are many people in the upper realm?"

"In the world I live in, cultivators generally have higher cultivation levels, and almost everyone has a lifespan of a thousand years."

The immortal elder narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"The new people native to the Upper Realm, plus a large number of cultivators who ascended from all the heavens and myriad realms."

"Over time, the number of people did become quite large, but... it didn't reach that level."

"It's more about limiting the total number of people and controlling the allocation of resources from a macro perspective."

"Of course, these are all things done by those demon cultivators, and our immortal race opposes them."

"However... you're not so lucky. This world just happened to be born in the territory of the demon race."

Every cultivator will spontaneously want to become stronger, thereby consuming resources.

Even if it's just basic resources, when the base is large enough, it can be scaled up to the entire world.

That would indeed have a significant impact.

Using this method to control resource consumption is indeed a viable approach.

Of course, this is purely a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

After all, those who have reached the upper realm will continue to reproduce.

Sooner or later, even if no one ascends to immortality, they will still face the same problem.

However, this timeframe may be delayed.

"I see... I understand now."

Ye Yun suddenly realized and nodded.

"It seems that in the Upper Realm, the law of the jungle is no different from here."

In his imagination, a world that gathers ascension beings should be beyond the mundane.

But now it seems that it is not inferior to it.

However, this can be seen from the moment the upper realm set up the seal between heaven and earth.

The elders of the Immortal Clan gave an affirmative answer to this.

"Of course there's no difference, since they're essentially the same."

The immortal elder shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

"In fact, the struggle at the top is even more extreme and protracted than that at the bottom."

"So... you don't need to have any unrealistic imaginations about the world beyond ascension."

In a sense, this lesson was extremely important for Ye Yun.

To give Ye Yun a first impression of the Upper Realm, so that he won't make any mistakes when he actually goes there.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand now."

Ye Yun took a deep breath and bowed to him.

He then steered the conversation back to the topic.

"By the way, that seal of heaven and earth, will there be any problems if we try to bypass it?"

"For example... being mistaken for an illegal immigrant and hunted down?"

Ye Yun immediately imagined many possible scenarios in his mind.

The immortal elder smiled faintly and explained.

"You don't need to worry about that, as long as you are teleported to the place where our immortal clan receives you."

"At that time, even if those demon cultivators want to hunt you down, they won't dare to venture deep into the heart of our immortal realm."

This made Ye Yun realize the other party's true purpose in appearing here.

In Ye Yun's mind, the other party clearly wanted to poach geniuses from the worlds under the Demon Clan's control.

"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease."

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

As long as there are no chases or other similar scenarios after ascension, it's fine.

As for what the other party said about joining the Immortal Clan, that's not a problem at all.

If the Immortal Clan is truly as the other party claims, then they are indeed a reputable and righteous sect.

That would be a good opportunity for me to blend in and continue developing using the Creation Furnace.

Even in the Upper Realm, Ye Yun believed that there would still be things like pills.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, he still asked a tentative question.

"By the way, senior, are there any elixirs in the Upper Realm?"

This sudden question startled the immortal elder.

She then smiled and nodded.

"Of course there are, but they are different from the pills made in the lower realms. The materials used are much more precious."

"We call it a celestial-grade elixir, surpassing your ninth-grade elixir."

Ye Yun immediately grasped the key point and asked curiously.

"So, there are also lower-grade pills in the Upper Realm?"

If that's the case, then we'll have another source of income.

"That's natural."

The immortal elder replied without hesitation.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled lightly at Ye Yun.

"Oh right, don't misunderstand something."

"Even after ascension, you will not enter a completely high-dimensional world."

"For example, your strength after ascension would be considered quite formidable in my world."

"They are much better than those native-born newcomers."

Hearing her say that, Ye Yun felt relieved.

He was worried that after ascending, he would go from being the overlord of a world to a little Karami.

That huge difference can be incredibly frustrating.

But now it seems that those cultivators born in the upper realm were not born with great power.

They still need to climb up step by step, just like them, only at a faster pace.

"That's good."

Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction, feeling relieved for the time being.

At this moment, the immortal elder looked at him and smiled.

"Boy, it's about time. I have to let you out."

"Huh? You're leaving already?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, looking reluctant to part.

It wasn't that he particularly liked the beautiful immortal elder in front of him.

Instead, he wanted to learn more about the Upper Realm from her.

Upon seeing this, the immortal elder smiled faintly.

"I know you still have a lot of questions to ask."

"But don't worry, after I ascend, I will explain everything to you in detail."

"As for now, the power I left here is almost completely exhausted."

Finally, she gave Ye Yun a deep look.

"I will await your arrival in the Upper Realm."

Ye Yun nodded and immediately asked another question.

"May I ask your name, senior?"

He then realized that he still didn't know the other person's name.

Speaking of this, the immortal elder pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly.

"I am... Mu Lingyue, the Third Elder of the Immortal Clan."

Judging from this title, the other party must have a considerable reputation among the immortals.

The Third Elder, could he be the number three figure in the Immortal Clan?

If that's really the case, then that's incredibly powerful.

"I will remember this! I will definitely come to find you after I ascend to immortality!"

"Very good."

Mu Lingyue nodded in satisfaction.

He then remembered something and explained it to him.

"By the way, remember, you must not mention what happened today to outsiders."

"Are you referring to this cultivation technique, or something else?"

Ye Yun asked in confusion.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Mu Lingyue said seriously.

"No, everything I say must be kept secret from outsiders."

This explanation struck Ye Yun as odd.

"But...you've been appearing here all the time, haven't many people already known about the things in the Upper Realm?"

"There's no need to worry. I will erase the relevant memories of those who failed to meet the standards."

"They will only remember that they met a senior, went through the trial, but failed the test."

Ye Yun, standing in front of him, was terrified.

Does the other party mean to simultaneously modify the memories of tens of thousands of people?

It seems that the person in front of him has even more powerful methods than he imagined!

Ye Yun readily agreed, indicating that she would not speak carelessly.

"Don't worry, senior, I'm very tight-lipped."

Of course, only those who know him well know how hollow those words are.

But Mu Lingyue, who was standing in front of her, was obviously unaware of this and was still nodding happily.

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

She looked at Ye Yun and chuckled softly.

"I will now send you away. We shall meet again in the future."

"Um... Goodbye, senior."

Ye Yun responded, and then the golden light before him dissipated.

Instead, endless darkness enveloped and entangled Ye Yun.

The intense feeling of weightlessness returned, as if I had been teleported.

When Ye Yun's vision returned, he realized that he had been teleported out.

"This method is truly terrifying..."

Ye Yun took a deep breath, utterly shocked.

Then he looked around.

Only then did they realize that many people had confused expressions.

Therefore, it is clear that these are people who failed the test and had their memories erased by Elder Mu Lingyue of the Immortal Clan.

"Hey kid, what are you daydreaming about?"

As Ye Yun was looking around, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head sharply and saw that it was Nangong Jiutian walking over.

The expression on her face was somewhat subtle.
