85: Nine Mysterious Spirit Realm

The Nine Profound Spirit Domain is a highly-ranked Spirit Domain among the Three Thousand Spirit Realms. Its territory is immensely vast, containing countless powerful experts and numerous races living within it.

The living beings within the Spirit Domain are countless; even the strongest experts standing at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm cannot determine the number of creatures in a single Spirit Domain.

There are also many Prodigies whose Spiritual Roots surpass the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Whenever such a Prodigies appear, the Major Powers within the Spirit Domain will recruit them into their sects.

As the strongest power in the Spirit Domain, the Nine Profound Immortal Sect naturally has an absurd number of Prodigies.

As for why the Nine Profound Immortal Sect is enthusiastic about searching the Human Realm for exceptionally talented members of the Human Race, no one knows the true reason.

The Immortal Sect's response is merely that the Human Realm is the Ancestral Land and cannot be abandoned, and so on... The Nine Profound Spirit Domain features an Immortal Sect standing atop the clouds, with several sky-shrouding Yao Beasts circling beneath it.

Countless Cultivators are moving in and out of the Immortal Sect. Among these Cultivators are beings of different races; they are all Immortal Sect Disciples.

In the eyes of the Immortal Sect, as long as your talent is good, no matter what race you belong to, you will be taken into the Immortal Sect and become a part of it.

At this moment, over the clouds in front of the Immortal Sect, a dozen streaks of colorful light suddenly appeared. Under the gaze of countless beings, a dozen figures slowly emerged from the light.

"After a thousand years, the Prodigies from the Human Realm have arrived again!"

"Whoa, there's even one at Late Stage Soul Transformation!"

"I have a premonition that this person will be the focus of the Immortal Sect's cultivation this time!"

Many beings continuously commented on the dozen people, and Ye Ming, who had the highest cultivation base among them, naturally drew their attention.

The moment Ye Ming opened his eyes, he saw many unfamiliar beings standing before him. Most of their Auras were above Soul Transformation.

What surprised Ye Ming the most was the Immortal Sect in front of him.

The gigantic Immortal Sect stood atop the clouds, containing hundreds of Immortal Mountains. Faintly, one could also see Immortal Palaces, and countless Immortal Cranes flew freely above the Immortal Sect.

Furthermore, ten waterfalls flowed down from the Immortal Sect, emitting endless multicolored light.

Ye Ming subtly inhaled a breath. An Immortal Sect is indeed an Immortal Sect; it's full of Immortal Qi!

Moreover, he discovered that the Spiritual Qi here was more than ten times greater than that of the Taixuan Realm, to the extent that fine particles of Spiritual Qi could be seen moving in the air with the naked eye.

At this moment, the others also opened their eyes, equally stunned by the magnificent Immortal Sect.

After recovering from his shock, Xuan De also noticed Ye Ming nearby. He quickly walked over, realizing that he had Ascended to the Spirit Realm.

"amitabha, Fellow Daoist Ye, why has This Poor Monk also arrived in the Spirit Realm?" Xuan De asked Ye Ming with confusion.

"It's not just you; the others who made the list are here too. Look, they're over there!" Ye Ming said, gesturing for Xuan De to look to the side.

The others were also confused. Wasn't it only the top ranker who was supposed to Ascend? What was happening to them?

Before they could figure it out, an old man walked over.

"Prodigies of the Human Realm, follow me!"

The old man glanced at Ye Ming and the others. After confirming they had come from the Human Realm, he spoke to them.

After speaking, a cloud appeared beneath Ye Ming's feet, carrying them along with the old man into the Immortal Sect.

Ye Ming watched the old man's retreating figure, his expression subtly changing. This old man was an expert at Late Stage Body Integration.

Along the rest of the journey, they saw all sorts of beings: Flood Dragons, tigers and leopards, and everything that flew in the sky or crawled on the ground.

After entering the Immortal Sect, they felt as if they had arrived in a new Immortal Paradise, and every spot they saw elicited involuntary gasps of amazement.

The old man led them to the foot of an Immortal Mountain, where there were dozens of Halls.

"You will stay here for three months first. Everything you need to know is contained within this place!"

The old man waved his hand, and a dozen streaks of light flew in front of Ye Ming, revealing white Jade Tokens.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming reached out and took the Jade Token in front of him, then, like the others, began checking the information inside the token.

After reading all the information, Ye Ming had a general understanding of the Nine Profound Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect has one hundred and eight Immortal Mountains, each with its own designation. Each is guarded by an Elder at the Mahayana stage, and the Immortal Lord of the Immortal Sect is the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, whose strength has reached Late Stage Tribulation Crossing.

The Immortal Mountain before them was not one of the one hundred and eight Immortal Mountains; it was merely an Immortal Mountain used to receive newly initiated Disciples, also called Ascension Mountain.

At the foot of Ascension Mountain, after everyone finished reviewing the information, they each walked into a Hall. They were all people from different Cultivation Worlds and were not familiar with each other, so there was no interaction for the time being.

Just as Ye Ming was about to find a Hall to settle in, the old man spoke to him.

"Ye Ming, your status is special. Come with this old man!"

Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. Special status? Could it be his status as a Named Disciple of the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden?

As Ye Ming thought this, the floating cloud beneath his feet reappeared, carrying him to follow the old man.

He regained his senses and saw different Immortal Sceneries.

Soon after, Ye Ming followed the old man to a magnificent Immortal Palace, where Laws were circling around it.

There was no need to guess that this was the residence of a certain Elder.

"Grand Elder, Ye Ming has been brought!" The old man respectfully cupped his hands in front of the Immortal Palace.

"Let him enter!"

A majestic voice came from inside the Immortal Palace, and the palace gates automatically opened.

Ye Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he walked into the Immortal Palace with composure. The old man cupped his hands again and then left.

Inside the Immortal Palace, a middle-aged man with a dignified face sat before a table. Powerful Law energy continuously rotated around him.

This was clearly a Venerable at Mahayana Middle Stage.

Ye Ming walked up to the middle-aged man, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, Venerable!"

This was the proper attitude toward a powerful expert; in the Spirit Realm, the powerful are likewise respected.

"Mhm, Ye Ming, you should know about the Immortal Lord, right?"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and slowly looked at Ye Ming, his gaze profound.

"I know."

Facing the Grand Elder's inquiry, Ye Ming nodded.

"Alas, the Immortal Lord originally intended to take you as a Disciple, but now her whereabouts are unknown!"

"Finally, out of necessity, we Elders made a decision: you can choose any Elder to be your temporary master. You have one month to make your choice!"

"How about it?"

The Grand Elder explained the purpose of calling Ye Ming over in one breath.

"This Junior has no problem with that!"

Ye Ming casually agreed after hearing it. For him, it made no difference which master he studied under.

"Good, then you can go back first. When you've clearly decided which Elder you want to take as a master, just let me know!" The Grand Elder was relieved to see Ye Ming was so agreeable.

They had been very surprised when they first heard the Immortal Lord wanted to take a Disciple. The Immortal Lord had never taken a Disciple in her entire life, so why did she suddenly decide to take one now?

With so many Prodigies and Prodigies in the Spirit Domain, why specifically take a Cultivator from the Human Realm? They truly didn't understand. Did this Ye Ming possess some peerless talent?

It was a pity that the Immortal Lord ultimately failed to take a Disciple, and now her whereabouts were unknown!
