227: Chapter 227 Immortal Realm

"Is this the Immortal Realm?"

"The Immortal Qi here is so dense! It won't be long before I can advance to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"

"The Immortal Qi in the Immortal Realm is truly too dense; it is far from what the Major Thousand Worlds can compare to!"

"I have finally ascended to the Immortal Realm; this is so exciting!"

"The Immortal Realm is the destination and Upper Realm for countless Major Thousand Worlds. Ascending to the Immortal Realm is the wish of countless experts in the Major Thousand Worlds, and it was my wish too. I have finally realized my wish!"

On an Ascension Platform in the Immortal Realm, the Cultivators who had just ascended began to exclaim loudly, their eyes filled with excitement and agitation.

Yang Juncheng, who was in the crowd, did not exclaim. Instead, he released his Divine Sense to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Soon, Yang Juncheng discovered the army of Immortals outside the Ascension Platform and sensed an incomparably powerful aura. This made Yang Juncheng frown slightly, and a look of wariness flashed in his eyes.

According to ancient records, Immortals are divided into seven Realms: True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Profound Immortal, Immortal Lord, Immortal King, and Immortal Emperor.

Among them, the True Immortal Realm is the lowest, situated at the very bottom of the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Emperor Realm is the strongest; they are the top experts of the Immortal Realm and its overlords. They are extremely rare, and each possesses immense power, controlling the life and death of countless Immortals.

Most of the Immortal army outside the Ascension Platform were True Immortal Realm Cultivators, a small portion were Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivators, and a very small minority were Golden Immortal Realm Cultivators.

But whether it was a True Immortal Realm Cultivator, a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator, or a Golden Immortal Realm Cultivator, Yang Juncheng did not care.

With Yang Juncheng's Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation strength, combined with his 10-billion-fold Amplification Talent, he could easily suppress and kill them.

However, that incomparably powerful aura clearly belonged to a Profound Immortal Realm Cultivator far exceeding the Golden Immortal Realm, or perhaps even an Immortal Lord. Yang Juncheng did not have much confidence in suppressing them, which made him very wary.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Immortal Realm. You have become Immortals with endless Lifespan!"

"According to the laws of the Great Xuan Empire, all those who ascend must enter the Immortal Stone mines and mine for 10,000 years before they can be granted proof of identity and become a part of the Great Xuan Empire!"

"All those who have ascended, please leave the Ascension Platform, come over to register, and head to the Immortal Stone mines to mine!"

While Yang Juncheng was observing the army of Immortals outside the Ascension Platform, that Immortal with the powerful aura, suspected to be an Immortal Lord, walked slowly to the front of the Ascension Platform and said in a calm tone.

"I have just ascended to the Immortal Realm, and you want me to mine for 10,000 years? That is simply wishful thinking!"

"I ascended to the Immortal Realm to enjoy life, not to mine for you! I won't go!"

"I am an overlord of the Xuangui Continent. How dare you make me mine; you are simply courting death!"

As soon as the Immortal Lord finished speaking, many of the ascenders on the Ascension Platform immediately became enraged and began to rebuke him loudly.

These ascenders were all top experts and overlords from various Major Thousand Worlds, wielding power over their respective regions and controlling the lives and deaths of countless people. They were arrogant and unruly; how could they possibly be willing to become lowly miners!

"Those who speak insolently will be killed without exception!"

Hearing the rebukes from those ascenders, a fierce light flashed in the Immortal Lord's eyes as he said in an icy tone.

After speaking, the Immortal Lord waved his large hand, and giant hands formed of Immortal power condensed in the void, reaching out to grab those ascenders.

Facing the attack of the Immortal power hands, those ascenders stirred the Immortal power within their bodies, driving their various Immortal Artifacts to bombard the giant hands.

However, as soon as those Immortal Artifacts approached the giant hands, they were easily crushed by the giant hands, turning into dust.

Following that, the giant hands, their momentum undiminished, grabbed the ascenders one by one and squeezed them hard, causing them to turn into bloody mists that splattered onto the Ascension Platform.

In just a few moments, dozens of ascenders died miserably on the spot.

At this moment, the Immortal Lord turned his sharp gaze toward the remaining thousands of ascenders and said in a calm tone: "Does anyone else disagree?"

Hearing the Immortal Lord's words and sensing his sharp gaze, the ascenders on the Ascension Platform lowered their heads one after another, falling silent.

Seeing this, a look of disdain flashed in the Immortal Lord's eyes, and he said in an icy tone: "Since no one disagrees, leave the Ascension Platform immediately, come register, and head to the Immortal Stone mines to mine!"

Hearing the Immortal Lord's words, the thousands of ascenders on the Ascension Platform flashed their figures and flew toward the Immortal Lord.

Soon, the thousands of ascenders were registered, and under the leadership of the Immortal Lord, they boarded an Immortal Artifact flying boat and sped off into the distance.

"This Great Xuan Empire is too tyrannical, actually forcing ascenders to mine. They don't treat ascenders as human beings at all!"

"Once I am familiar with the environment of the Immortal Realm and my cultivation strength has improved, I will find an opportunity to destroy this Great Xuan Empire!"

Standing on the Immortal Artifact flying boat, Yang Juncheng used the corner of his eye to glance at the Immortal Lord standing in front of the flying boat, muttering secretly in his heart.

After muttering for a while, Yang Juncheng turned his gaze toward the distant mountain range that stretched for who knows how many thousands of miles, silently sensing the incomparably dense Immortal Qi in the air.

Not long after, the Immortal Artifact flying boat flew over hundreds of peaks and landed in a huge valley.

"Old Liu, I've brought you a batch of miners. Hurry up and come out to receive them!"

At this moment, the Immortal Lord put away the flying boat and shouted loudly with a smile toward a palace in the center of the valley.

Soon, a red-haired old man with a powerful aura came out from the palace in the valley and said with a smile: "Our Red Sun Mine has lost quite a few miners recently and is just short of manpower. The batch of miners you brought is truly timely!"

As he spoke, the red-haired old man arrived in front of the Immortal Lord and began the handover process.

After the handover was completed, the red-haired old man waved his large hand, and guards wearing fine armor placed collars on Yang Juncheng and the other ascenders.

"The collars on you are Immortal Suppression Collars carefully refined by the Artifact Refiners of the Great Xuan Empire. They possess three functions: sealing, locating, and exploding. They can easily Seal the Immortal power of Immortals below the Immortal Lord Realm, track the user of the collar, and self-destruct!"

"The power of the collar's self-destruction is immense; it can easily destroy the bodies of Immortals below the Immortal Lord Realm, turning them into dust!"

"If you don't want to die, you had better behave, work hard at mining, and strive to pass these 10,000 years safely to become official subjects of our Great Xuan Empire!"

"If you dare to try to escape, I will let you know what it feels like to wish you were dead!"

Looking at the thousands of ascenders who had been fitted with collars, the red-haired old man said with an icy expression.

After speaking, the red-haired old man waved his hand, letting the guards of the Red Sun Mine take Yang Juncheng and the other ascenders down to introduce them to the situation and rules of the Red Sun Mine.
