The existence of Youbao Abyss seemingly also depleted this realm's origin, causing the natural laws here to be somewhat incomplete, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy to remain low, making it a subpar True Realm.
Over time, this realm saw few major sects emerge, but small sects proliferated everywhere.
Due to the existence of Youbao Abyss, it attracted many cultivators who wanted to advance quickly, hoping for a stroke of luck. Thus, the loose cultivator workshops and towns surrounding Youbao Abyss were as numerous as the hairs on an ox, and all sorts of demons and ghosts could be seen everywhere.
Youbao Abyss spans three thousand miles east to west and is a forbidden zone for cultivators. Only Nascent Soul Cultivators may tread here; otherwise, one could either go insane or lose their life.
Many cultivators from major sects also came here to seek opportunities and refine themselves.
This place is dense and complex, not much more will be said.
The tower ship Wang Jixuan was on appeared directly in a mountain valley less than five hundred miles west of Youbao Abyss.
This valley was quite large, covered by a large array, with a layer of visible miasma outside. This miasma also made the sky over here perpetually gloomy.
At the spot where the tower ship emerged, a giant vortex slowly calmed, and many silhouettes in the buildings below looked over here.
Wang Jixuan sensed the Qi here, estimating about seven to eight hundred people, with only one-third being Unification Realm cultivators, and many other small cultivators of various levels present.
During the journey, Hui Zhi the loose person had already explained this.
Cultivators are also human, having seven emotions and six desires, inevitably having a few offspring and friends.
Many Tianluo members, forsaking their origin realm, brought their offspring here for a long stay.
According to Tianluo's rules, if a Tianluo member falls in battle, their offspring can also have priority in enjoying certain cultivation resources, nurtured by Tianluo. If they are truly hopeless, like a block of wood, they are sent to a Xu Realm, to be well-cared for by retired Tianluo members.
Yes, Tianluo members can retire.
The threshold to join Tianluo is very high, not only requiring ability but also passing three tests of the Heavenly Dao, with superior character and moral standing.
Leaving Tianluo is not too difficult; you simply need to complete enough missions over the years, accumulate enough contributions, and then depart freely.
Thus, many cultivators who are aware of Tianluo also treat this as their training ground before becoming immortal.
"Fellow cultivators," Hui Zhi the loose person reminded, "I'm retrieving the ship."
All cultivators each rode their clouds.
The Immortal Rope on Wang Jixuan's wrist flickered with a faint light.
With a simple wave of her hand, Hui Zhi turned the Treasure Ship into a streak of light that returned to her palm, reducing to three inches in length, which she then placed back into her Storage Magical Treasure.
This caught Wang Jixuan's eye.
The prohibition allowing the Treasure Ship to change size at will was something he hadn't mastered, and such prohibitions truly shouldn't appear in the Lower Realm.
Can I use contributions to exchange for prohibitions here?
He felt a growing eagerness in his heart.
The cultivators each bid farewell, then descended to their residences.
Hui Zhi the loose person's team gathered again, the other three had already revealed their true appearances.
One woman with a youthful face appeared cute and charming, yet her actual age likely exceeded a thousand; another elderly Daoist appeared very old, seemingly four to five hundred years old, younger than the young woman.
However, cultivators don't look at age, but at seniority and cultivation level.
"Please, fellow," Hui Zhi the loose person said softly, "The Upper Leader is waiting for us in Lin Yuan Pavilion."
Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile, led by the Immortal Rope held by Hui Zhi, walking towards the largest wooden building here.
The trio in Hui Zhi's team were already envisioning how much reward they could get this time, and what kind of Immortal Pill they would exchange with the substantial contributions they were about to receive.
Those stuck in their cultivation naturally hoped to break through realms with the Immortal Pill;
those needing other treasures would also make careful selections later.
Inside Lin Yuan Pavilion, nothing remarkable.
The first floor seemed like an office, with scrolls and Jade Talismans piled into small mountains everywhere, and over a dozen white-haired elders sitting behind desks, writing swiftly.
However, these elders were actually puppets.
Wang Jixuan looked around, noticing that bookshelves were the most abundant here.
Six massive bookshelves formed a quiet room, Wang Jixuan followed Hui Zhi the loose person, making many turns before arriving here, once again seeing the figure sitting cross-legged.
The Tianluo Branch Master, Yin Lin.
Hui Zhi the loose person and the other three simultaneously bowed, "Branch Master, Wang Zheng has been brought."
"Good," Yin Lin put down the Jade Talisman in his hand, smiling, "Go receive your rewards. This time you did well, your contributions have been doubled on top of your original task reward. Don't forget to exchange for the noses of those Dark Sect members."
The four couldn't contain their joy.
This task already had very high rewards, and with the added reward for attacking the Dark Sect members, they could possibly not take on any tasks for decades, having all the necessary resources!
The four expressed their gratitude and left.
Before Hui Zhi left, she specially untied the Immortal Rope from Wang Jixuan's wrist, speaking gently, "Fellow, don't forget your manners. I'll wait outside the pavilion for you later."
"Mm, alright, thank you."
Master Wang cupped his hands in gratitude.
After Hui Zhi left.
Yin Lin leaned back, resting on a bamboo basket full of files, looking at Wang Jixuan with surprise in his eyes:
"This... you've already made a connection?"
"Hmm?"
"Huizhi," Yin Lin seemed a bit displeased, "she's considered one of the top ten beauties here, with many having set their eyes on her, but she's never been so close to anyone, speaking in such a soft voice..."
As he spoke, he deliberately squeezed his voice and called out: "Fellow~"
Wang Jixuan's mouth twitched slightly.
He decided to steer the conversation back on track, giving Yin Lin a respectful bow: "Junior Wang Zheng, greets Master Yin!"
"Tut tut tut."
Yin Lin let out a strange laugh:
"You're really handsome. Come, have a seat. I've studied your file, you're quite a talent. Do you want to help our Tianluo in the future?"
Wang Jixuan didn't expect him to be so direct.
"Senior's straightforwardness speaks for itself, and I won't refuse."
Master Wang stood proudly:
"I am willing to join Tianluo, to support justice, and exterminate demons!"
"If you want to mix for rewards, just mix for rewards, why talk about supporting justice."
Yin Lin chuckled:
"Your obsession is to become immortal, isn't it obvious at a glance? You, don't pretend here, what's the harm in admitting your own desires?"
Wang Jixuan gave an embarrassed smile and simply sat on the cushion.
He looked at Yin Lin seriously and said: "Senior has the abilities of an Immortal, and as the authority here, speaking casually is easy, but I, being a fish on the chopping board, have no room to resist, so I can only comply with Senior's wishes. How can I not be cautious?"
"Hmm, what you said makes sense, it's my fault as the Daoist."
A look of appreciation appeared in Yin Lin's eyes as he tossed over a file.
Wang Jixuan opened it and took a look.
He sighed gently in his heart.
Goodness, it recorded almost all the major events from his first and second lives, even the number of female companions from the second life was counted, including fleeting romances, roughly sixteen thousand...
Cough!
This Three Realms Wanderer truly deserves heavenly punishment!
The name has no exaggeration or metaphor; it's a statement of fact!
Yin Lin continued: "Before you start, let's discuss three things."
"Please, Senior, go ahead."
"First, I'm very interested in your kind of core circuit. If you can provide me with the method of making it, I'll use my authority to absolve your crimes and give you some contributions, so you can exchange for needed items here. How about it?"
"I can," Wang Jixuan nodded lightly, "I was thinking of giving Senior this method over three or four times, but I can present it all at once now."
After speaking, Wang Jixuan took out two finished core circuits, which were the size of a disc, shimmering with various lights.
Yin Lin was a bit shocked at first sight, and then his eyes nearly popped out.
"How did you engrave this? So many prohibitions!"
Wang Jixuan gave an embarrassed smile: "This uses the technology of the Immortal Forbidden Land... here's the method."
The Daoist took out four Jade Talismans and handed them to Yin Lin.
Yin Lin remained speechless for a long time after receiving them, looked up at Wang Jixuan, his eyes shining slightly, then with a wave of his sleeve, three Jade Talismans fell in front of Wang Jixuan.
One Jade Talisman recorded Wang Jixuan's 'evil deeds.'
—Evil deeds not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.
This Jade Talisman shattered directly.
One Jade Talisman had the word 'Xiu' written on it, seemingly an identity marker.
Another Jade Talisman sparkled with starlight, with a number formed by the star aggregation inside, marked 'Forty Thousand Whole,' seemingly contribution points.
Yin Lin said: "This matter is settled. I will study it well later; if there are things I don't understand, I'll need to consult you."
"You're too kind," Wang Jixuan accepted the Jade Talisman, cupped his hands, and said, "What's the other matter?"
"Second, it's about the enmity you have with the Dark Sect. I need to explain it to you."
Yin Lin pursed his lips slightly, looking somewhat wistful:
"I really shouldn't be telling you this, but for some reason, getting such benefits from you, my heart feels somewhat emotional.
"Our Tianluo is currently no match for the Dark Sect... not just in our area, but elsewhere too. If we follow through, it's probably...
"The Three Realms are close to ruin; becoming immortal actually has no purpose."
