Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Not Following the Rules
Inside the Myriad Phenomena Illusion Immortal Bottle, the natural flow of Five Elements rules is ceaseless, with mountains, rivers, and streams all present, and the Immortal Treasure inherently contains a certain amount of Immortal Yuan Qi.
In the end, some birds and beasts were deliberately taken in, making it extremely vast, like a real world.
It misleads people into believing it is the Immortal Realm, provoking them to enter willingly drawn by golden light.
After the Immortal Treasure was jointly sent down, it isolated the plane barrier, so the great powers of the Upper Realm could no longer manipulate it.
But it’s already enough.
The Immortal Yuan Qi here is merely carried by the Immortal Treasure itself, and its quality is far inferior to the normal Immortal Realm’s Immortal Yuan Qi.
Moreover, the number of people is too large, so it will quickly become increasingly thin, exhausting within a few years.
This Immortal Treasure is far less miraculous than the Xuanji Map.
The Xuanji Map constitutes a world of its own, possessing a complete system of rules, allowing continued comprehension of realms and communication with the rules of heaven and earth within.
Whereas the Myriad Phenomena Illusion Immortal Bottle is just an Immortal Treasure space, isolated from the outside world.
Here, everyone is unable to cultivate the rules of heaven and earth outside.
They will no longer have new realm enlightenment.
Many cultivators are diligently cultivating now just due to the temporary stimulant of Immortal Yuan Qi.
After a while, they will encounter realm barriers, and these barriers may remain unbroken for life.
Their cultivation will stagnate until the day their lifespan is exhausted.
As for going out?
Not even the Saint Tier from the Lower Realm, let alone the Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal from the Immortal Realm, has the ability to unravel this Immortal Treasure.
In fact, the Upper Realm’s great powers originally intended to send some aggressive Immortal Treasures down.
However, such Immortal Treasures rarely entice people to fall for them.
The only thing that can make people voluntarily enter and eagerly dive inside is the Myriad Phenomena Illusion Immortal Bottle.
Trapping them till they die naturally or killing them results essentially in the same.
Moreover, the Upper Realm arranged for five True Immortals to enter the Immortal Treasure space, sending them down together to stir chaos inside.
This, actually, is unavoidable.
Five True Immortals is the maximum the Immortal Treasure can carry down to the Lower Realm.
But with their instigation, people inside won’t survive to die naturally; they’ll end up mutually slaughtering each other.
The five True Immortals aren’t foolish; they know indiscriminate killing will incite everyone to attack them.
The Lower Realm has too many skilled individuals; these five cannot suppress them.
That’s why they purposely divided into three major camps, playing out a Three Kingdoms strategy, recruiting one faction and suppressing another.
First, eliminating the rebellious faction in the Domain.
Then, having the three True Immortal camps battle, depleting those who surrendered.
One cannot say it wasn’t vicious!
"So this is not Rootless Island here?"
"No, the Immortal Realm doesn’t actually have Rootless Island; we just deceive the Lower Realm who are less knowledgeable."
"And the mist surrounding..."
"That’s the toxic mist carried by the Immortal Treasure. Because it’s isolated from the plane, the treasure has no master, no one to control it, or it could directly refine everyone inside."
"And the Purifying Dust Immortal Lotus, doesn’t exist either?"
"Correct."
Upon hearing this, the people from the Lower Realm were on the verge of exploding with anger.
Even the extremely dignified Gui Cang Sword Saint’s white beard trembled.
"Such outrage!"
"This is sheer bullying!"
"My serene thoughts have been provoked; sin, sin!"
"Damn, they’re treating us like fools here!"
We thought we had really ascended to the Immortal Realm, only to find we’d been spinning within another’s Immortal Treasure all along?
Utter humiliation and disgrace!
"How can one escape from this Immortal Treasure?"
"Only at the Immortal Venerable Realm can it be broken."
"Is there no other way then?"
"None."
This outcome nearly suffocates everyone’s last strand of hope for leaving.
"Above the Profound Immortal is the Golden Immortal, and above the Golden Immortal, one becomes Immortal Venerable."
Mo Chen shook his head, sighed, "It’s far beyond your current realm."
The Child of the Plane’s fortune is extraordinarily defying, but currently, it’s a trap set by dozens of Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors.
This former Immortal was exasperated too.
This is absolutely not playing by any norm!
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t those Children of the Plane at most face Celestial Immortal enemies when they are True Immortal, and face Profound Immortal enemies when they are Celestial Immortal, defeating them step by step?
Shouldn’t enemies come from weak to strong, lining up in a very orderly manner to provide experience points?
How could a Child of the Plane be targeted by Immortal Emperors even before ascending to the Immortal Realm?
And they’re dozens of Immortal Emperors at that.
No way to survive!
The fiery atmosphere in the scene gradually quieted down.
Thinking that the rest of their lives would be trapped within this Immortal Treasure, unable to ascend, no one could cheer for the previous victory anymore.
"Alas, never did I imagine that we, having cultivated half a lifetime in hardship, would end up like this."
"The Immortal Realm is indeed too oppressive!"
"It’s not time to give up yet, this Saint has never experienced despair in my life."
"If one day I can escape, I will definitely vow to oppose the Immortal Realm to the death!"
"Escape is easier said than done..."
"Even a prodigy like Sect Leader Jiang may end up old here; such a pity."
Only these elite masters from the Lower Realm, experienced in countless trials, could still maintain a surface calm.
Another group of people would have long since lost composure, going insane right now.
Yet in their eyes, presumably the most tormented Sect Leader Jiang remained quite busy.
Before the questioning began, he already instructed Three-Eyed Tiger and Mo Chen to hurry and collect a field of spoils.
After finishing the inquiry, he didn’t dwell on the predicament at all.
He was busy with tallying spoils and then exchanging for points.
He truly wasn’t anxious.
Even if there’s really no way out, he still has the Xuanji Map.
Inside the Treasure Map, he can continue cultivating and advancing his realm; even if the pills are all used up, it’s not a problem, because there’s Immortal Yuan Qi-level Spirit Vein upgraded by Ah Huang inside.
If it really doesn’t work, just wait for the disciples inside to cultivate to the Immortal Venerable.
Besides, he’s not without a chance to escape.
Indeed, his current power, even with a tenfold critical strike, is far from reaching the Immortal Venerable level.
It’s absolutely impossible to forcefully break this Immortal Treasure from within.
But he can directly enter that toxic mist around the Immortal Treasure and pass through it!
That toxic mist can even annihilate Immortal Venerables, but the issue is...
Dying just happens to be Brother Cheng’s specialty, isn’t it?
After collecting all the spoils, while people were still discussing the predicament.
Most people were unsatisfied with the current situation, seeking ways to leave here.
But after discussing for a long time, they couldn’t find a solution.
A small portion of people, on the other hand, decided to give up.
Some were already tidying up, planning to find a secluded scenic place inside to spend the rest of their lives.
The most absurd was that someone even started considering perpetuating their lineage within the Treasure Bottle, casting glances at female cultivators.
"Ahem!"
Brother Cheng coughed lightly and stepped forward.
"Actually, there’s not completely no chance of leaving."
As these words fell, the entire scene fell silent!
Even those who planned to leave and find a place to retire, turned back excitedly.
This sentence, if spoken by anyone else, would be deemed as boasting.
How to break the means of the Immortal Emperors?
But Jiang Cheng is different, he created too many miracles.
"Sect Leader Jiang, do you truly have a way to leave?"
Gui Cang Sword Saint excitedly gripped his hand.
