Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 400

Chapter 400 True Immortal Tier Three, Northern Realm True Immortal Assembly!

“Situ Chen, my thanks to Sect Master!”

Situ Chen departed; he had now become an elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

“The Heavenly Dao Sect is indeed powerful—Sect Master Su’s aura is terrifying!!”

Situ Chen marveled, secretly relieved he hadn’t chosen poorly!

At the same time, he recognized his own shortcomings; his strength was still far from sufficient.

“The Heavenly Dao Sect has gained another formidable combatant!”

Su Bai watched Situ Chen’s receding figure and smiled slightly.

This Situ Chen had only just ascended, yet already possessed the strength of a sixth-rank celestial immortal!

He was nearly on par with Tianzhu in former days!

Given time, he would become an invincible celestial immortal.

With enough time, True Immortality would be within reach!

And at this moment, after dealing with the Gao clan, Su Bai’s understanding of the Immortal Realm had advanced another step!

The most crucial part was the introduction to true immortals!!

In the Immortal Realm, there are three ways to become a true immortal!

These three methods divide true immortals into three tiers!

Third tier: immortals by immortal fruit!

In the Immortal Realm there exist world-defying supreme treasures such as the immortality fruit, the millennium flat peach, the peerless immortal fruit… and others!

Besides those, there are also miraculous immortal pills and similar supreme treasures.

These are items that, when consumed, can—within a certain period—transform someone into a true immortal!

True immortals who become such by this means are collectively called immortals by immortal fruit!

The Gao clan’s records state that a million years ago, the Immortal Domain War, which had raged for millions of years, finally ended.

So many great masters died in that war!

Over time, vegetation and fruit trees grew on the corpses of those masters.

Because those trees were nurtured and influenced by the immense auras, their fruits contained the true immortal Way!

This is the origin of the immortality fruit!

When order was first established a million years ago, if one was lucky enough to find an immortality fruit, one could become a true immortal!

Not anymore—today you can no longer find wild immortality fruits.

The Gao clan’s Old Ancestor, Gao Yunxiao, was one such lucky true immortal!

Not only him; almost all true immortals in the Northern Realm gained their status this way!!

Indeed, the vast majority of true immortals in the Immortal Realm became such true immortals by these means!

The power of an immortality-fruit true immortal depends on the strength they had before becoming immortal, with some additional enhancement from the passage of time after ascension.

There are over twenty true immortals in the Northern Realm; the Old Ancestors of the Gao and Shi clans rank almost at the bottom!

The second tier of true immortal is the immortal of the Seal of Immortals Roll!

In the Immortal Realm, peerless masters at the golden immortal level can create a Seal of Immortals Roll.

Every one hundred thousand years, this Seal can allow a ninth-grade heavenly immortal to unconditionally become a true immortal!

True immortals created in this way are called Seal-of-Immortals-Roll true immortals!

Jin Buhuan is one such immortal of the Seal of Immortals Roll!

There isn’t much inherent difference in strength between immortals by immortal fruit and those from the Seal Roll; everything depends on the foundation and the years of cultivation prior to becoming a true immortal!

The primary reason the Seal-of-Immortals-Roll true immortal ranks above the fruit-born immortal is that the Seal-roll immortal has golden immortal backers!!

At the same time, this is also the origin of the immortal sects!

Only a sect that possesses a Seal of Immortals Roll deserves to be called an immortal sect!

Because only such sects would drive everyone mad to join—everything is for the quota on the Seal Roll!

One quota every one hundred thousand years—ten quotas in a million years!

In the Gao clan’s records, Su Bai saw that besides the famed Aoki Immortal Sect, there was another immortal sect power.

Greenleaf Immortal Sect!

That was the only immortal sect the Gao clan could come into contact with!

In the million-year history of the Gao clan, nine prodigies in total had ever entered Greenleaf Immortal Sect to cultivate!

But a million years passed, and not a single one had ever secured a quota on the Immortals Roll.

That Greenleaf Immortal Sect lay beyond the Northern Realm—an even grander, more vast stage, one the Heavenly Dao Sect could not yet reach.

Whether born of immortal fruit or the Immortals Roll, true immortals could roughly be divided into nine layers!

Each layer represented an accumulation of one million years!

This accumulation wasn’t just time; resources, opportunities, and other factors could also produce the equivalent of a million years’ worth of accumulation in a short period.

Jin Buhuan is a first-layer true immortal.

Gao Yunxiao and the Shi clan’s true immortal are second-layer true immortals!

The Wang clan true immortal whom Su Bai killed was a third-layer true immortal!

After Su Bai opened the Divine Forbidden Domain, the strength of his single body was roughly that of a fifth-layer true immortal.

If he went all-out, he might be able to reach the sixth-layer true immortal realm.

From the Gao clan’s records it was clear that in the Northern Realm there were no ancient powerful true immortals above the seventh layer!

In other words, Su Bai’s strength was already sufficient to dominate the Northern Realm!

Not invincible, perhaps, but no problem at all when it came to self-preservation!

Above the fruit-born true immortals and the Immortals-Roll true immortals there was yet another rank—the highest tier of true immortal!

First rank: Heavenly Dao True Immortal!

By relying on one’s own strength, gaining recognition from the Immortal Realm’s Great Way, and passing the true-immortal tribulation, one becomes a Heavenly Dao True Immortal!!

Such true immortals are supremely strong and unassailably firm—extraordinarily powerful, almost defying heaven itself!

In the Gao clan’s records, the Heavenly Dao True Immortal was a legendary existence; only one was recorded!

That was the Golden Immortal Old Ancestor of the Greenleaf Immortal Sect!

In other words, a Heavenly Dao True Immortal was almost equivalent to a golden-immortal seed!

“I wonder if there are levels above the Heavenly Dao True Immortal?” Su Bai pondered, narrowing his eyes.

After all, his current realm was not far from true immortal now!

Year after year passed, and the Heavenly Dao Sect continued to develop and grow.

More and more ascendants rose on the Ascension Platform, and most chose to join the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Some refused at first; within a month of leaving Gao Clan City they came crawling back, begging to join the Heavenly Dao Sect, which made everyone laugh.

Su Bai, meanwhile, continued to connect one world after another.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred…

Another fifty years passed!

The Northern Realm had quieted down again.

The Shi clan’s interests had been entirely divided among the remaining true-immortal families!

At the same time, the true immortals of those families began to turn their attention to the Heavenly Dao Sect!

One day, Su Bai opened his eyes and looked toward the center of the Northern Realm.

“Northern Realm True Immortal Assembly?”

He stood, his figure flashing, and headed in that direction.

“How can the Northern Realm True Immortal Assembly gather all the true immortals without me, Su Bai?”
