Chapter 1092: Eight Great Sects and Wandering True Immortals

There were lots of cultivators in the city and the quality of cultivation was pretty high. There were several large families and factions within the city, with the Chilin Gang being one of the top powers. Zhu Honglin, their leader, was said to have swallowed a mouthful of a strange creature’s heart’s blood in the river nearby and managed to obtain an impure blood dipper. With that, he managed to stumble his way into the Martial Dipper Realm.

Even though his method of advancement couldn’t be replicated, due to his chaotic fate dipper, he had no chance of advancing any further. His combat strength was also in the lowest tier among experts of the same level. However, a Martial Dipper Realm expert was a Martial Dipper Realm expert. At the very least, in Tonggu City, he was someone who could shake the heavens in the eyes of ordinary people.

At that moment, the all-powerful figure was standing respectfully in one of the quiet rooms on the third floor of the Honglin Restaurant as he carefully poured wine for a young cultivator who didn’t look to be in his thirties yet.

“How much did you purify your fate dipper?” Shang Xia asked casually as he tasted the dishes of the Spirit Faith World that were completely different from that in the Spirit Luxuriant World. He swallowed a mouthful of Honglin Wine as a dense fragrance filled the room. Even a True Immortal like himself felt a sense of enjoyment washing over him.

Zhu Honglin quickly bowed in response, and he didn’t forget to refill Shang Xia’s cup. He replied respectfully, with a trace of reverence and thankfulness in his voice, “Young Master, with your amazing method, I have already purified 70 percent of my fate dipper. I also managed to grow a lot stronger. I cannot be more thankful! Young Master, as long as you give the order, I will brave any dangers to accomplish it!”

“Haha… There’s no need to go so far. However, I wish to hear what you know about the Three Worlds. With your current position, you should know some matters regarding the high-level secrets of the Azure Roamin World and Azure Intellect World, right?” Shang Xia chuckled.

Zhu Honglin couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he realized that Shang Xia wasn’t going to give him an impossible task and he replied with haste, “Young Master, what do you wish to know?”

Shang Xia simply shot him a glance and mumbled, “I heard that your Chilin Gang is an auxiliary faction of the Guyuan Sect. You are also friends with the high-level experts of the Guyuan Sect… Let’s talk about them for now!”

Zhu Honglin was able to control the Chilin Gang for tens of years and was clearly not some naive fool. He managed to guess many things when he heard Shang Xia’s question, and his robes were instantly drenched in cold sweat when he thought of the possibilities.

Obviously, he couldn’t hide his reaction from Shang Xia. Eventually, a soft chuckle left Shang Xia’s lips. “Looks like you have already guessed my origins. How would you react? This is Tonggu City and if you run out here and start yelling, I believe in the time it takes to boil a pot of tea, the True Immortals of the Guyuan Sect will be able to arrive.”

“No… Of course not… How… How would I…” Zhu Honglin denied the best he could. However, it didn’t sound that convincing from how much he was stuttering. Whatever it was, he was still the leader of a faction with thousands of members. His mental state was strong and he quickly regained his calm.

Adjusting his emotions, he said resolutely, “Senior, you are my benefactor and I can’t possibly treat your kindness with enmity. Moreover… Moreover, with my skills, what can I possibly do with my limited skills in front of esteemed senior?”

Shang Xia roared with laughter in response. “At least you know what’s good for you! You can rest assured. By the time I leave, you will have already purified your fate dipper. When that happens, not only will you be able to improve, but you might possibly gain a chance to step into the next level in the future!”

“I… I… I wouldn’t dare to think that far! I am already content if I am able to refine another fate dipper or two!” Zhu Honglin immediately replied and laughed along with Shang Xia.

When he saw the look of doubt on Shang Xia’s face, he quickly continued, “The Guyuan Sect is one of the 8 strongest sects in our world… No, the Spirit Faith World! They have a True Immortal in charge of them and it’s said that the esteemed senior has already become a second level True Immortal.”

“Oh?” Shang Xia revealed an expression of amusement. “Does every single one of the 8 strongest sects have a True Immortal leading them?”

“Exactly! However, from what I know, the 8 strongest sects are considered the greatest powers in the world not just because of their True Immortals! It’s because all of them possess their own Elysiums!” Zhu Honglin explained.

Nodding slightly, Shang Xia understood that be it the Spirit Faith World, the Spirit Luxuriant World, the Spirit Abundance World, or the Spirit Mammoth World, all Spirit Worlds were the same.

He was just surprised at the fact that the Spirit Faith World had 8 Elysiums!

That was something that exceeded his expectations. One had to know that even the current Spirit Luxuriant World only had 5 Elysiums!

That was also because the Azure Origin World of the past managed to produce the Divine Capital Elysium and the Eternal Palace! There was also the Yuanchen Sect with their Xiangyang Elysium that was close to that level when they were still an Azure World.

Ordinarily speaking, it would be amazing for an Azure World to possess a single Elysium. It was like the Azure Spiritual World that had the Northern Sea Elysium as the only Elysium in the world.

About the Tongyou Elysium that was the latest addition, they were a special case and no one could judge them according to ordinary standards. They could be said to be a giant anomaly.

Originally, after the exchange Shang Xia had with the True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World, he felt that the difference in strength wouldn’t be too big. Even after discovering the 2 other Azure Worlds that seemed to be allied with them, he didn’t think too highly of them. He thought that the True Immortals they gathered came after they summoned everyone available.

After hearing Zhu Honglin, Shang Xia finally understood that he seemed to have underestimated them!

With 8 Elysiums, the Spirit Faith World alone would have more than 10 True Immortals!

“Hmm… Continue talking about the True Immortal of the Guyuan Sect!” Shang Xia instructed without a change in expression.

Zhu Honglin said that the True Immortal of the Guyuan Sect was at the second level, which was most likely the same as a second tier True Immortal. After hearing the description, Shang Xia learned he was called True Immortal Gu Chengwu, and he was a second tier Elysium True Immortal.

“Is he the only True Immortal in the Guyuan Sect?” Shang Xia asked after thinking for some time. “As one of the 8 great powers of your Spirit Faith World, how does the Guyuan Sect rank among the Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World?”

Zhu Honglin mumbled, ‘The Guyuan Sect has strong foundations and they have a lot of experts! They are actually ranked third among the 8 great powers…”

“Huh?” Shang Xia’s first thought was that Zhu Honglin was fucking with him. However, from the look on Zhu Honglin’s face, Shang Xia realized that he wasn’t joking. The dude was a Marital Dipper Realm expert and he was the leader of thousands of members… Even though his faction was located in Tonggu City, he should have a basic understanding of the power structure of the factions in the Spirit Faith World.

The only thing he needed to know was how the Guyuan Sect could rank third!

Zhu Honglin also knew that Shang Xia didn’t quite believe him and he quickly explained, “Everything I said is true! If you don’t believe me, you can ask around and everyone will say the same!”

A light flashed in Shang Xia’s eyes as he continued to ask, “From what I know, there are more than 10 True Immortals in the Spirit Faith World. There is a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal, Lan Zhengfeng and Yun Hu who are third tier True Immortals who I ran into back then… The Guyuan Sect only has a second tier Elysium True Immortal and they rank third among the 8 great powers. Don’t tell me all the strong experts are gathered in the top 2 factions?”

Zhu Honglin felt his heart pounding initially, but he relaxed suddenly when he realized Shang Xia wasn’t doubting him any longer. He chuckled, “Young Master, you might not know, but other than the 8 great powers in our Spirit Faith World who possess True Immortals, we have a lot of wandering cultivators. They aren’t constrained to the 8 great sects… In fact, they don’t seem to be bound to any power!”

“Wandering cultivators?!” Shang Xia’s eyes widened in shock. He was in a state of complete disbelief as he gasped, “They actually managed to become True Immortals as wandering cultivators? If they don’t have strong powers behind them, that would mean that all of them can move freely around, right?”

Elysium True Immortals can’t leave their factions, and they naturally couldn’t be classified as wandering cultivators…

Zhu Hongling mumbled, “Actually, those wandering cultivators…”

He suddenly felt his heart pounding in fright as he was about to continue and paused for a moment. However, he turned to glance at Shang Xia and started talking again. “According to high-level experts in the Guyuan Sect, those wandering True Immortals are like locusts! They seem to act like poor bastards who come from the countryside. Even if they became True Immortals, they can’t hide the fact that they came from a lower world…”

“Oh?” Shang Xia seemed to have caught on to something and he quickly pressed deeper, “Are you saying that those wandering True Immortals came from the Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World?”

Zhu Honglin explained, “It’s not like all True Immortals who came from the lower worlds chose to be wandering cultivators… Some of them chose to join the 8 great powers. Also, those True Immortals who ascended don’t just come from the Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World!”

Zhu Honglin’s explanation might not sound very clear, but Shang Xia understood exactly what he meant.

“Ascended?” Shang Xia gasped.

It seemed as though he gained a completely new understanding of the Spirit Faith World and he continued, “If that’s the case, you’re saying that a good portion of True Immortals who ascended chose to be wandering cultivators, right? Maybe… Most of them can’t join the 8 great powers because the factions don’t trust them at all! Since the Spirit Faith World can be classified as a Superior World, are there other worlds that exist close by? Right, what do you mean by ascended anyway?”

Zhu Honglin was shocked by Shang Xia’s barrage of questions. He cleared his mind after some time and started to arrange his thoughts before replying, “True Immortal… Those wandering cultivators who ascended naturally wouldn’t be willing to be constrained by a sect after they arrived. From the disciples of the Guyuan Sect, I heard that before those wandering cultivators came to our Superior World, they were supreme beings where they came from. They stood at the peak of their worlds, and it’s no exaggeration to say that they can cause the world to tremble with a single stomp. Only after arriving in this place do they realize that there is always a taller mountain out there… Unfortunately, they have already accustomed themselves to their lives of being better than everyone else and are reluctant to be restrained by others. Moreover… With the combined suppression of the 8 great powers, they are unable to gather together to establish their own sect! In the end, they can only choose to wander around freely…”

Shang Xia couldn’t help but reveal a mocking sneer. He could even imagine the disciples of the Guyuan Sect describing the expressions of those wandering cultivators who just ascended.

However… Were those wandering cultivators really willing to live a life roaming about the Spirit Faith World unfettered?

“Right. How did they ascend to the Spirit Faith World?” Shang Xia thought of another interesting question and asked. In fact, he was a little impatient to learn about the answer.
