Chapter 641: Chapter 296: Completing the Sword Realm, Deliberately Building Fame
“Beidou Immortal Convention?”
Han Yi murmured softly, then looked closely at the invitation again. To be more precise, it was a hard golden jade-like page, dazzling and elegant, with only these four words written on it, nothing else.
He raised his head, deep in thought.
Such a grand gathering to be called the Beidou Immortal Convention was an exorbitant claim. Up to now, he had only heard of two related terms.
One was Beidou Region, which referred to the seven great worlds close to the Yu Heng World, including the Yu Heng World itself.
The other was Beidou Immortal Palace, which he had heard of in the Tianquan World. From what he had learned at the time, the Beidou Immortal Palace was located at the intersection of the Human Clan territories in the Beidou Region. Moreover, the core members of this cross-border power were all Spirit Transformation Experts. Even the pre-selected members had to be Nascent Soul cultivators who had passed rigorous assessments to qualify.
Now, for the first time, he heard of the third term related to “Beidou” – the Beidou Immortal Convention.
At this moment.
Outside Xuandan Sect, the young cultivator who had handed over the golden jade-like page, sent a transmissive message.
“I am Dong Hou from the Yu Heng Academy of Beidou Immortal Palace.”
“I invite Daoist Han to attend the Beidou Immortal Convention at Sword Cliff on the third of March next year.”
“Does Daoist Han have any questions?”
The young cultivator, i.e., Dong Hou, glanced at Xuandan Sect below, then turned his gaze back to Han Yi. Although both were respectively outside and above Xuandan Sect, Han Yi’s exit from the Sect Guardian Array had not alerted Zhuge Wu You or others, and Xuandan Sect itself appeared to be in a state of tranquility.
Han Yi’s eyes fell on the young cultivator. He did have several questions, but he could also sense the cultivator’s strength, something he had only previously encountered in Jin Wang on Qing Chi Mountain. Furthermore, the threat posed by this young cultivator seemed to be even greater than that of Jin Wang.
“Who are you, and what kind of power is Beidou Immortal Palace and Yu Heng Academy? I don’t recall there being such a sacred place in Yu Heng World?”
Han Yi pretended he had never heard of the Beidou Immortal Palace before. He had also never seen this cultivator before, and based on what he had heard, the cultivators of Beidou Immortal Palace should come from the Seven Beidou Worlds. This man claimed to be from the Yu Heng Academy, and his name was derived from the Yu Heng World, suggesting that there should be at least six other academies under the Beidou Immortal Palace.
“What is the purpose of this Beidou Immortal Convention?” Han Yi asked again, as he genuinely had no knowledge of this matter.
Upon hearing Han Yi’s question, Dong Hou calmly explained the situation through a transmissive message, addressing all of Han Yi’s doubts.
Han Yi felt a chill in his heart.
In the Tianquan World, he had only heard rumors about Beidou Immortal Palace from the Golden Core shopkeeper of Purple Cloud Pavilion but had not pursued more information before meeting Yuan Shun and returning to Yu Heng World.
Now, Dong Hou’s transmission provided a more detailed explanation of this organization within the Cultivation World known as the Beidou Immortal Palace.
Contrary to what he had initially learned from the Purple Cloud Pavilion’s investigation, Beidou Immortal Palace was not a mysterious force that emerged after the fragmentation of the Daluo Immortal Realm in order to pursue the cause of the Realm’s shattering.
In fact, Beidou Immortal Palace had existed even during the time of Daluo Immortal Realm and was responsible for overseeing all the powers residing within the Beidou Region and its seven great worlds.
Simply put, in ancient times, before the Daluo Immortal Realm shattered, Beidou Immortal Palace was the ruler of the Beidou Region, governing all the powers of the Human Clan, Evil Clan, and other different races, as well as the Immortal Countries and sacred lands within the Region.
There were a total of thirty-six similar Immortal Palaces like the Beidou Immortal Palace in the ancient Daluo Immortal Realm, meaning there were thirty-six regions comprising several major worlds like the Beidou Region under the Daluo Immortal Realm.
This information genuinely shocked Han Yi, as he had never imagined so many regions and large worlds in the Daluo Immortal Realm. The prosperity of the ancient Cultivation World was evident from this revelation.
Furthermore.
As the Golden Core shopkeeper from Purple Cloud Sect had guessed, after the shattering of the Daluo Immortal Realm, the surviving cultivators of Beidou Immortal Palace had pursued the truth behind the breaking of the Realm, seeking clues within the Fragmented Immortal Worlds and even attempting to rebuild the Immortal Realm.
However, not much had been achieved in the past 100,000 years. The mystery behind the shattering of the Daluo Immortal Realm seemed like a curse, causing even the strongest half-immortals who traversed the Immortal Road to meet an inexplicable demise when they ventured too close.
Nevertheless, countless great beings and half-immortals have been following in one another’s footsteps ever since.
As for the Beidou Immortal Convention, it was held by Beidou Immortal Palace for the purpose of investigating the cause of the shattering of the Daluo Immortal Realm.
Strictly speaking, it was more of an exploration event similar to the search for immortals in the Great Void, rather than a gathering. However, the danger level of exploring the Fragmented Immortal Worlds was extremely high. Only invited cultivators could participate in the Convention, and the lowest entry requirements called for a Nascent Soul cultivator. Those who performed well in the Convention could become pre-selected members of Beidou Immortal Palace.
Dong Hou, standing before him, was merely a pre-selected member of Beidou Immortal Palace. Only Spirit Transformation Experts could become official members of the Palace, and he did not yet qualify.
After some thought, Han Yi shook his head and surprisingly declined the invitation:
“I apologize, but I have only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and have not yet stabilized my realm. Furthermore, I cannot leave my sect without worries. Please forgive me for not being able to accept your invitation.”
He flicked the golden jade-like page, and it flew back into Dong Hou’s hand several miles away. There was no ripple in his eyes.
For Han Yi, he already had enough resources and needed time to digest and settle down instead of putting himself in a life-or-death crisis again.
