Chapter 23: The Turtle Spirit Gate

  In a nameless small valley, the five old men who were originally closed-eyed simultaneously opened their eyes. In their perception, the consciousness of the handsome young man was gradually returning to his physical body.

  "This little guy is going to wake up!" Huo Yaodao exclaimed excitedly, and a hint of tension flashed in his eyes.

  Beside him, the old Daoist Xuanwu also had a gleam in his eyes, not saying a word, tightly waiting for the handsome young man who was about to wake up. The old man wearing the Bagua robe stood up and walked over, while the hunchbacked old man's eyes flickered, as if observing something.

  As consciousness returned, the purple lightning that had enveloped the young man's body gradually dimmed and subsided into stillness.

  After a moment, the handsome young man opened his eyes, and a hint of purple light flashed in them.

  "Little one, how many heavens have you passed through?!" Huo Ya Dao Ren suddenly appeared beside the handsome young man and asked hastily.

  The young man seemed to have not heard the voice of Huo Lao Dao Ren, stood up, slightly furrowed his brow, and looked up towards the void. At this moment, a very faint aura of Xian Ling began to emanate from his body!

  Xian, after passing through the mortal tribulation, the handsome young man was no longer a Qi refining cultivator, but a genuine immortal.

  "What's wrong?" asked an old man wearing a Ba Gua robe as he walked over.

  The elegant young man fell silent for a moment before suddenly speaking up, "Master, may I enter the Illusory Ninth Heaven once again?"

  "It's possible, but your current state is not suitable for entry. Moreover, with your current cultivation level, you can only stay at the entrance of the ninth heaven." The old man wearing the eight trigrams robe nodded and said, although he didn't know why his disciple asked this question, he still patiently explained the reason.

  Illusory Nine Heavens, a world exclusively for the Scattered Immortals.

  That world, only the consciousness body of a loose immortal can descend. Except for the first time, re-entering afterwards will have clear requirements for one's own cultivation. For example, a loose immortal who has not passed the thunder tribulation can only be at the entrance of the Illusory Ninth Heaven, while a loose immortal who has passed the first thunder tribulation can enter the ninth heaven, and a loose immortal who has passed two thunder tribulations can enter the eighth layer, and so on.

  The handsome young man was silent, at this moment in his mind, constantly recalling the last moment he saw a blurry figure when his consciousness dissipated.

  "Who is that person..."

  "Little one, how many heavens have you actually crossed!" Fire Crow Taoist said somewhat impatiently.

  If it weren't for his own impending calamity, Huo Ya would have liked to slap this little brat to death.

  The young man came back to his senses, looked at Huo Que and saw that the respect in his eyes was gone, replaced by a calm and composed demeanor.

  Become an immortal, one step to heaven! From this moment on, he is no longer the insignificant ant of yesterday, nor is he a small guy that can be pinched at will by this old fellow, but a nameless immortal, a true nameless immortal!

  "When entering the fourth layer of Void Heaven, the consciousness body couldn't hold on and collapsed."

  "Did your consciousness collapse when you entered the fourth layer? In other words, have you passed through the Five Layers of Void Heaven?" The old Daoist Xuanwu finally spoke up.

  The young man nodded, which was taken as a response.

  The potential of Wu Chong Tian is like the floating blue ocean of Mo Tian Zong.

  Huānguī Dào Rén and Xuánwǔ Lǎo Dào let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  "Although he didn't surpass Qinghai, he also has potential that's not inferior to his. It's a rare treasure, but he's the arch-nemesis of my Jie Ling Sect..." The old man wearing the Bagua robe had a hint of regret on his face.

  "Master, rest assured that with time, I will surely surpass Qingyun Hai! When the time comes, my disciple will bring the plaque of our Tortoise Spirit Sect and trample the Demon-Slaying Sect flat!" As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the young man's eyes.

  Guī Líng Mén, a first-rate sect that was annihilated by Mó Tiān Zōng eight hundred years ago!

  In those years, the Guilingmen was at its peak and had once entered the Central Plains. However, after a crushing defeat, the sect suffered heavy losses. In that situation, the Motianzong, which was second only to the Guilingmen in terms of strength, suddenly launched an attack, causing the Guilingmen to be annihilated. Only a few scattered immortals who were traveling outside managed to escape.

  Inside the valley, there were five scattered immortals. Two of them used to be scattered immortals from the Turtle Spirit Sect. The old man wearing an eight-trigram robe was the current leader of the Turtle Spirit Sect, and the other person who had not spoken a word, the gray-robed elder, was his junior fellow disciple. As for the handsome young man, named Fan Xiang, he was the disciple that the scattered immortal with the Heavenly Eye divine ability had promised to find for the leader of the Turtle Spirit Sect.

  Guī Língmén let out a sigh, then took out a jade token from his bosom and handed it to Fàn Yè. "This is the jade token of a loose immortal, with this thing, you can freely enter and exit the mortal world and the cultivation world. In the past, Ghost Eye Mr. was relying on this kind of jade token to enter the mortal world and bring you out."

  In the heart of the master of the Guiling Gate, there is actually a sentence that has not been spoken.

  That's the same qualifications, wanting to surpass Qinghai is almost impossible. To know that going to Qinghai can be said to be the future of Motianzong, under the support of a large sect, Fan Xiang with the same qualifications wants to surpass it, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  "What I did was just for your Turtle Spirit Sect's Lei Jie Dan..." The hunchbacked old man said expressionlessly.

  "Turtle Spirit Daoist friend, I've already helped you find ten disciples. The next heavenly tribulation is approaching, why not give me the Lei Jue Dan first? After all, this young man's innate talent has fivefold heaven, my Huo Ya Jing Hun should be of great help to him..." Fire Crow Daoist interrupted.

  The old Taoist beside Xuanwu was also secretly transmitting sound, seemingly asking about the Thunderbolt Dan as well.

  Lei Jie Dan, was the heyday of the Guilingmen furnace, the ancestors of the door refined it, and it is said that it has a certain help for the scattered immortals to fly through the thunder calamity. Huo Ya Dao Ren and Xuan Wu Lao Dao, as well as that hunchbacked old man, all came for Lei Jie Dan.

  Guī Língmén nodded his head, indicating he understood.

  "Lei Jie Dan?" Fan Yi glanced at several people, didn't ask more questions, but instead looked at the jade card and said "Jade Card? Is it that kind of token that those sects give to their disciples every ten years to enter the mortal world?"

  "Yes, and no! The jade token that was given to the Qi refining disciples is a replica made by some great masters, holding such a token can only stay in the mortal world for a limited time. But this token is different, it's a token that only scattered immortals can hold, others even if they got it, it would be useless." The Turtle Spirit Gate master explained.

  "What's going on?" Fan Xian asked in confusion.

  "In this jade token, there is a small formation. This kind of formation can only be detected by a true loose immortal." As he spoke, the leader of the Turtle Spirit Sect pointed with his finger.

  A burst of cyan light flashed on the jade plate in his hand, and a small array that was almost illusory flew out from the jade plate.

  Fan Xiang saw this and released his own immortal sense, probing towards the small array.

  After passing through the mortal tribulation, all of Master's spiritual consciousness will transform into immortal consciousness. Fan Xian has passed through the mortal tribulation, and his spiritual consciousness naturally transformed into immortal consciousness as well.

  "Is this formation carved by Master?" Fan Xiang pondered for a moment and understood its subtlety.

  Seeing his own disciple, he saw the subtlety in it at a glance, and finally a smile appeared on the face of the Guilingmen sect master.

  "Not bad. The material of this jade card itself is just a very ordinary jade, but because there is an array in it, it will become an identity jade card." As he spoke, the head of the Guilingmen handed the jade card to Fan Xiang.

  "You take a closer look and then find a piece of jade, carve a jade pendant yourself."

  The jade pendant is only useful if it's personally engraved. Other pendants contain the aura of other people, and even if you get one, it won't work in the past. Of course, the pendants given to Qi-refining disciples are a different story.

  ......

  Ding Yan sat on a huge rock, his forehead covered in sweat.

  Illusory Nine Heavens, the higher you go, the harder it is to enter. When entering the fourth heaven, Ding Yan, who had the help of the nameless yuan force, still felt a tearing sensation from the soul level. If not for the fact that every time he operated the Qiankun Dao Jing, his body would transmit a cool feeling, perhaps Ding Yan would have also collapsed like that handsome young man before.

  After barely rushing out of the passage of the fourth layer of Void Heaven, the whirlpool reappeared.

  With a dying breath, he mustered up the last bit of strength in his body and managed to strike out with that incomplete handprint, before bursting out of the tunnel once again.

  At this time, Ding Yan had already reached the third layer of Void Heaven!

  Crossed seven layers of void sky, even Ding Yan himself was a bit dazed.

  "It's fortunate that the whirlpool didn't continue to appear." Ding Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

  If the vortex continues to appear, Ding Yandare is certain that his consciousness will be crushed by the nameless power in the passage and return to his physical body.

  "If the power within me was a bit stronger, could I enter the second layer of Void Heaven... or even the first layer..." After calming his breath for a long time, this thought suddenly appeared in Ding Yan's mind.

  Existence that transcends the ninefold void heavens!

  It's unlikely that even in 100,000 years one will appear.
