Chapter 185: Chapter 108: Immortal Pavilion Transaction
"What is this?"
After leaping from Cloud Concealment Peak, Su Chen saw five vibrant worlds that looked like inverted pyramids. These were perhaps the Five Dao Heavens of the Immortal Pavilion that the Earth Spirit had spoken of.
They corresponded to Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation...
The fifth and highest Dao Heaven had numerous, isolated Immortal Pavilions. The lower the Dao Heaven, the smaller the world and the stranger the Immortal Pavilions became. By the time he looked at the very bottom, at the first Dao Heaven corresponding to the Divinity Transformation Realm, only a single hall remained...
In a fleeting glance, Su Chen saw the great hall of the first Dao Heaven. Inside was a table and a towering throne. Standing there were towering figures, majestic as gods or demons, in the middle of some transaction...
Just a single look caused tears to stream from Su Chen’s eyes, nearly blinding him.
’Divinity Transformation?!’
Su Chen’s mind trembled, and he quickly averted his gaze.
His vision was different from others; he could see Longevity Fire and, on occasion, even the luck of a Dynasty.
But he had never imagined that he would even be able to catch a glimpse of the Immortal Pavilion and its Five Dao Heavens—the Supreme Treasure of the Human World, according to the Earth Spirit.
It was absolutely impossible for anyone else who entered the Immortal Pavilion to see its Five Dao Heavens in their entirety as he had.
’Wait a second.’
’What is that?’
Su Chen looked below the first Dao Heaven.
In a daze, he thought he saw an upright coffin, standing as tall as the heavens—perhaps a hundred thousand zhang high—serving as the foundation for the Immortal Pavilion’s Five Dao Heavens. And yet, it also seemed no different from an ordinary coffin, mundanely buried in the earth, entombing a corpse.
But when he tried to look closer, there was nothing there.
It was completely empty.
There was no upright coffin at all!
The scene just now seemed like an illusion.
"What were you just looking at?"
A questioning voice sounded out.
Su Chen was still falling. Beside him, a phantom-like silhouette of light had appeared at some unknown point and was now watching him.
It was the Immortal Pavilion’s Artifact Spirit!
It was almost akin to the Great Dao of the Immortal Pavilion’s five small worlds!
Far beyond what the Celestial Spirit or Earth Spirit of the Palm of the Human World could ever compare to.
"Greetings, Senior Immortal Spirit."
Su Chen cupped his hands in a fist.
At that moment, he began his preparations for entering the Immortal Pavilion, quickly withdrawing from his Extreme Realm Immortal state.
His Qi and blood resurfaced. The Human Acupoints, Earth Lock, and Celestial Gate reappeared within his body, making him seem like an ordinary Sub-Innate from the Human World.
Unlike ascending as an Extreme Realm Grandmaster, his ascension as an Extreme Realm First Grade was not yet fully stabilized, allowing him to advance and retreat.
He could switch back and forth between Extreme Realm cultivation and his Extreme Realm Immortal state.
"Strange."
The silhouette of light placed a hand on Su Chen to sense him, growing even more puzzled.
It couldn’t sense any Spiritual Qi or Magical Power, so he wasn’t a Cultivator. But it also didn’t detect any great luck from the Human World, which was highly illogical.
The minimum requirement to enter the Immortal Pavilion was to be a prodigy of the Qi Cultivation Realm, or, for those who followed Mortal Cultivation, a trendsetter who carried the luck of a Small Human World.
"Acquired Realm... A bit too weak."
The silhouette of light chose the weakest of the one hundred and eight Qi Cultivation Immortal Pavilions in the fifth Dao Heaven and pushed Su Chen toward it with a single palm.
"You are not a Cultivator. Therefore, you will have only one opportunity in the Immortal Pavilion. When you leave, the Pavilion will alter a portion of your memories. Cherish this Immortal Fate..."
BOOM!
Su Chen plummeted like a meteor, landing in the one hundred and eighth Immortal Pavilion. By the time he came to his senses, he was shrouded in a thick white mist and wrapped in a black robe.
He had arrived at a Qi Cultivation Immortal Pavilion, just as he had wished.
This Immortal Pavilion wasn’t very large. There were only ten scattered stalls set up. The cultivators coming and going, however, were quite numerous—more than thirty in total.
They too were wreathed in mist, their faces obscured. Their robes were different from Su Chen’s; most wore white, one wore a Silver Robe, and there was even one in a Golden Robe.
As for black robes, it seemed he was the only one.
"A black robe?"
"Look, another one from Mortal Cultivation with great luck has arrived."
"Who’s going to trick him out of his Innate Lifespan?!"
"These types are the easiest to fool. A common Grandmaster Technique can trick them out of at least Ten Years of Innate Lifespan..."
In the Immortal Pavilion, several white-robed Immortal Cultivators watched Su Chen, gathered together and whispering. They were using an Immortal Technique to transmit their voices, but none of it escaped Su Chen’s ears.
Here in the Immortal Pavilion, he seemed to be a special existence.
He could see and hear them. He could even vaguely make out their faces beneath the mist, which offered no concealment from him whatsoever.
Su Chen paid them no mind. He picked up a stone from the floor of the Immortal Pavilion and tried to activate Merging Memories.
It actually worked.
’Hm?’
A strange look flashed through Su Chen’s eyes.
He had succeeded.
The Tree Whiskers stirred.
A swirling mist provided cover.
The stone vanished.
BUZZ!
Fragments of memories emerged.
There weren’t many, but he managed to vaguely understand some of the Immortal Pavilion’s rules.
The Immortal Pavilion.
It had passages in both large and small Human Worlds.
Only those with great luck or the elites among Qi Cultivation practitioners had the chance to receive the opportunity to enter.
Those practicing Mortal Cultivation all wore black robes.
White, Silver, and Golden Robes represented the strength of the prodigies recognized by the Immortal Pavilion.
Extreme Realm Immortals were the most special.
Regardless of their strength, they wore Purple Robes in the Immortal Pavilion and were surrounded by a seven-colored light, as if afraid of not being conspicuous enough.
In the Immortal Pavilion, any prodigy could sell their Innate Lifespan, but there was a commission—the Pavilion took a fifty percent cut of the lifespan...
’The Immortal Pavilion needs lifespan too?’
Su Chen’s heart sank.
He had a feeling that lifespan was a scarce resource even in the true Human World, but why?
Shouldn’t cultivators above Foundation Establishment have already broken the shackles of lifespan and transcended the five elements?
The Immortal Pavilion, a Supreme Treasure of the Human World, actually needed lifespan. Could it be that even the true Human World still had the shackles of lifespan?
Su Chen walked past the ten stalls.
He saw scrolls of Immortal Skills and various Immortal Treasures. The Spiritual Qi enveloping some of the Immortal Skills indicated that they were High-class Immortal Skills.
