We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: All are in the Nascent Soul Stage

Within a mysterious secret realm, several Fusion and Divine Transformation cultivators sat together, plotting a major event.

“According to reliable sources, the Great Zhou will be holding a conference for all of Kyushu, supposedly showcasing the synergy between cultivators and spiritual treasures,” the leading Fusion cultivator said slowly.

“Hmph, nothing more than a bribery ploy,” another Fusion-stage elder snorted, expressing his disapproval of the Great Zhou.

However, his words resonated with the others, who saw their point as valid. It seemed they held a long-held grudge against the Great Zhou.

They hailed from all over Kyushu, united for a single reason: to undermine the Great Zhou’s reputation.

They had always treated lower-level cultivators with disdain, bullying them at will, and their disciples followed suit. Sometimes, when they were too harsh, resulting in several deaths was commonplace, a common occurrence, and the families of the victims could only bear the consequences in tears. After all, their dynasty wouldn’t turn against Fusion and Divine Transformation cultivators for such a reason.

However, their disciples were accustomed to being arrogant, and they acted similarly within the Great Zhou.

Once, they killed a mortal, unconcerned, thinking it was just a third-level Qi training mortal—no big deal.

However, they were surprised when the ungrateful family of the mortal dared to report them to the authorities.

What a joke! They had a son of the Spiritual Transformation Stage and a fusion-stage ancestor behind them. How could the Great Zhou dare to convict them?

Yet, the Great Zhou dared, not only convicting them but also

slapping them with the death penalty. The ancestors behind these men all came forward, urging the Great Zhou to spare their lives. However, the Great Zhou would not listen and executed all the murderers.

This infuriated the ancestors. It wasn’t just a matter of a disciple’s death; it was also a matter of the Great Zhou losing face.

They were usually very concerned about maintaining their reputation.

However, they also knew they couldn’t win a direct confrontation with the Great Zhou, so they planned to work covertly to seek revenge.

This conference was the perfect opportunity.

“This is a God-given opportunity, we can’t miss it.”

“Exactly, it’s an auspicious day, and a few people must die to embarrass the Great Zhou. Otherwise, how can we stand in Jiuzhou?”

“I heard that many forces will watch this conference. The Great Zhou must think that it will be in the limelight, but I don’t know what the reaction will be when a few people die in public.”

“It really makes me laugh just thinking about it.”

“Since we have to kill a few people, we might as well kill a few high-level cultivators.”

“The conference will be divided into foundation-building group, golden elixir group and Yuanying group for competition. Let’s set our target on the Yuanying group. Whoever is the best, we will kill him!”

“That’s great.”

…

“Look, isn’t that Wang Meng from the Mad Blade Sect! It is said that he has a superb Mad Shark Dragon Roar swordsmanship, and there are few rivals in the Yuanying stage.” Wang Meng is eight feet tall and has a strong physique. He carries a heavy iron knife on his back, and the iron knife hums slightly, as if he is excited.

“It’s really him! Isn’t he from the Wu Dynasty? He’s millions of miles away from the Great Zhou, yet he’s managed to make it here?”

“You forgot, both the Wu Dynasty and the Great Zhou have spatial channels. Distance isn’t a problem.”

“I see. I forgot about this new thing.”

The spatial channel had only been open for a few days, and most people in Jiuzhou were still unfamiliar with it.

“And then there’s Ma Junjun from the Abyss Sect. Twenty years ago, his Heaven-Swallowing Art was incredibly terrifying. To face him, one had to be prepared to have their hands and feet devoured. He intimidated that generation, so much so that they carried bone-growing and muscle-strengthening elixirs when they went out. I wonder how powerful Ma Junjun is now.”

“By the way, does he have a spiritual treasure?”

“Does a storage ring count?”

“…What kind of spiritual treasure is a storage ring?”

The people of the Great Zhou gathered around the registration area. Some of the more experienced recognized the applicants, while cultivators they’d only heard of now appeared before their very eyes, drawing gasps of astonishment.

A Nascent Soul cultivator is considered a mid-level cultivator in Jiuzhou, with perhaps only a few in a single city. The fact that they were so numerous here demonstrates the immense influence of this conference.

“Are you here to register?”

the official in charge of registration inquired, noting the visitor’s impressive presence and an inexplicable confidence.

“Yes.”

“Name, realm, and faction.”

The beautiful woman walked out gracefully, exuding an air of elegance and grace. A gourd hung at her waist caught everyone’s attention.

Many male cultivators, feeling they had good qualities, tried to approach her.

“Yuming, Nascent Soul Stage, a casual cultivator.”

“So you’re a Nascent Soul True Person.” The official clasped his fists, his attitude more respectful, and politely said, “Please place your hand on the compass.”

The compass was divided into six zones, corresponding to the six realms from Qi Training to Fusion.

The beautiful woman extended her delicate hand and gently touched the compass, causing the Si Nan to spin and point to the Nascent Soul realm.

The onlookers exclaimed in amazement, having never thought this beautiful female cultivator, seemingly only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, could reach such a high realm.

Those who had been skeptical before now gave up their unrealistic thoughts.

The compass is engraved with a sophisticated array. As long as the cultivator places his hand on it, his true realm will be revealed. Even a cultivator in the Fusion Stage cannot hide from the compass.

This is to prevent some cultivators in the Fusion Stage from pretending to be low-level cultivators, participating in competitions, and disrupting order.

This kind of compass is expensive to make, and the Great Zhou would not use it unless it was such a large-scale event.

Seeing that she was indeed in the Nascent Soul Stage, the official recorded the woman’s identity and handed her a wooden sign.

“This is your ID card. Please take it. With this card, your food and accommodation expenses in the imperial city will be borne by the Great Zhou.”

Yu Ming nodded without saying anything.

“Bai Tu, Nascent Soul Stage, independent cultivator.”

Another person in the group stepped forward and reported his identity.

After testing, it was confirmed that Bai Tu was indeed a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. The official handed him the ID card as usual.

“Your name is simple enough.” Yu Yin said lightly.

“You’re saying your name is better than mine,” Bai Hongtu complained. Both were defeated candidates for the Human Emperor, and they had a close relationship. After Yu Yin advanced to the Tribulation Crossing stage, Bai Hongtu was the first to congratulate her.

“Chen Jiannan, Nascent Soul stage, independent cultivator,”

Sword Lord announced his true name. It was so long ago that people today only knew him by his title, not his true name.

Sword Lord returned to the group and exchanged a glance with Bai Hongtu, eager to engage in a fight. Only Jiang Li coughed twice to silence their thoughts.

“Li Er, Nascent Soul stage, independent cultivator.” Li Er,

the leader of the Dharmakaya Sect, hadn’t used a pseudonym either. This name was common in Jiuzhou, so there was no need to create another one.

Everyone was surprised that these four were all in the Nascent Soul stage, and their names were unknown, unheard of.

But that was understandable. Jiuzhou was vast, and the cultivators were scattered; it was impossible for them to recognize them all.

“Are you joining the competition?”

The official glanced at the leader, who appeared to be the strongest among them.

Jiang Li shook his head: “If I participate, it will be just a realm of pressure, which is meaningless.”

The official understood. It seems that this person should be in the Spiritualization Stage and cannot participate.
