Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

248. Chapter 248 Immortal Power Cultivation!

"Thank you!"

Liu Zimo reached out and took the minced meat porridge and rabbit leg that Liu Yun handed over. After thanking her, he directly enjoyed the food in front of everyone.

It has to be said that the meat in this world is not only fragrant, but each piece of meat contains a considerable amount of strange energy.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zimo, who was already starving to the point of almost fainting, felt extremely satisfied after only drinking two bowls of porridge and eating a palm-sized rabbit leg.

At the same time, his physical strength and blood also greatly improved and recovered in a short period of time!

Even though he still had no cultivation, his physical strength had already returned to its peak state when he was in the Earth realm.

However, in the Transcendent realm now, under the suppression of gravity that is more than ten thousand times stronger, even someone like Liu Zimo with a peak Saint physique is only slightly stronger than the ordinary people in this realm.

Liu Zimo glanced at the local young people standing in the courtyard.

He found that their physical strength and blood intensity were mostly above his peak Saint realm.

If these people were in the Earth realm, they would probably be invincible existences!

But their status in the Transcendent realm is only slightly stronger villagers and hunters!

To put it bluntly, they are the lowest group of people living in this world, and they can't even be considered cultivators!

But even so, their physical condition and cultivation strength far surpass his peak True Saint in the Earth realm.

"My peak is their starting point!"

"The cultivation realm and the Dao environment pursued by the thousands of Saint cultivators in the Lower realm, who have been practicing diligently for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, are just easily attainable things for the residents of this Transcendent realm!"

"Is it unfair?"

"No, it's just a matter of whether or not you were born lucky!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly, feeling a sigh in his heart.

There used to be a popular saying on Earth.

Some people are born in Rome, while others can never reach Rome in their lifetime.

Compared to the thousands of cultivators in the Earth realm, these villagers in front of him are undoubtedly the ones who were born in Rome.

The gap between people's classes or wealth has always been objectively present throughout history.

Self-pity, self-blame, envy, and jealousy cannot change the current living conditions of each person.

"Brother Liu, you said earlier that you were brought here by an immortal. Can you describe what the immortal looks like?"

After Liu Zimo finished eating the porridge and rabbit leg, Liu Yun, the little girl, asked him curiously and longingly.

Liu Zimo wiped the oil stains from his mouth and looked up at the old mountain master.

Seeing that the old mountain master did not stop or reprimand him like before, Liu Zimo spoke softly, "I didn't get a clear look at the appearance of the immortal. When I encountered the immortal, I was already dizzy and unconscious from hunger."

"But in my dazed state, I seemed to hear the immortal say that Ascension Ground is the place where the heavenly pride Ascension of the Lower realm settles, and it is not a place where mortals like us can stay. That's why he kindly sent me to this esteemed place!"

After saying this, Liu Zimo bowed to the old mountain master and the others, thanking them for saving his life.

At the same time, the conversation took a turn, and Liu Zimo asked the old mountain master for advice:

"Master Mountain, I am young and inexperienced, and I don't know where the immortal is referring to as the lower realm. May I ask if the old mountain master has heard of it?"

Upon hearing this, the old mountain master couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke his gray-white beard, saying softly:

"It's not really a secret. Anyone who has ventured outside the mountain for a few years would know."

"The so-called lower realm is just a few spatial secret realms."

"Those human or monster races living in the secret realms, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, will break through and ascend to our main world."

"And the place of ascension is the exit that connects various secret realms. All human or monster races that ascend from the secret realms will settle in the corresponding place of ascension."

Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

It turns out that in the eyes of the transcendent realm, the lower realms they are in are just spatial secret realms.

However, what does the "corresponding place of ascension" that the old mountain master mentioned mean?

Could it be that there is not just one place of ascension in this world?

When Liu Zimo asked this question in his mind, the old mountain master showed a matter-of-fact expression and said:

"Of course, there is not just one place!"

"As far as I know, there are at least three places of ascension!"

"Each one is controlled and guarded by the local cultivation sects, and outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

"Moreover, most of the ascendants who ascend from the secret realms are lawless, committing heinous crimes, and have extraordinary talents."

"After ascending, these ascendants must register and receive the transformation and teachings of the immortal sect. Without the permission of the sect, they cannot leave without authorization!"

"Speaking of which, it is also the immortals in the sect who care about us mortals, fearing that these ascendants will cause trouble in the world and wantonly slaughter us ordinary people."

"It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, before the places of ascension were guarded and regulated by the major immortal sects, there would be a major riot in our world almost every once in a while."

"And these riots were basically caused by those lawless ascendants..."

The old mountain master's words opened up a topic that was difficult to close, and he rambled on for a while.

However, Liu Zimo heard everything he wanted to know from his words.

At the same time, a cold sweat seemed to appear on his forehead.

From the old mountain master's words, Liu Zimo could hear that the immortal sects in this realm were not so friendly towards ascendants like them.

Registering, confinement, transformation, and ideological education.

Only after meeting their requirements would there be a chance to enter the sect like normal people or go out for training.

Isn't this treating them ascendants like prisoners, subjecting them to labor reform and reeducation?

Moreover, there is no definite time for how long they will be confined, it all depends on the mood of the sect disciples.

If they are unlucky, it is not impossible to be confined for a lifetime.

Is there any justice in this?

If Kong Sheng, Liu Yuan, and Qingyun Laozu, those old relics who are determined to break through and ascend, were to know about it...

For them, the transcendent realm they desperately want to ascend to would be nothing more than a larger prison and jail. I wonder how they would feel?

They risked their lives to ascend to the upper realm, seeking immortality and the great Dao, searching for true liberation, not to be imprisoned!

"Fortunately, people mistook me for an ordinary person without spiritual roots and cultivation, thinking that I had mistakenly entered the Ascension realm."

"Otherwise, I would fear being imprisoned and transformed!"

While complaining, Liu Zimo couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

He was not like Ouyang Xinxin, who had ancestors to take care of her and relied on powerful backers to leave the Ascension realm through the back door.

If his identity as an Ascender were to be exposed, with his current cultivation level, he would have no chance against Liu Yuanzong, the lord in charge. He would be controlled and imprisoned, with almost no suspense!

"Elder Shan, it's about time. We should go on patrol!"

Seeing that Elder Shan would never stop talking, even when it was getting dark, Captain Liu Sheng softly reminded him.

Elder Shan was momentarily stunned, then raised his hand and slapped his forehead, shaking his head and sighing.

"Look, look, look, when people get old, they just love to ramble. I almost forgot about the patrol!"

"After nightfall, there are many jackals and wolves in the mountains and forests, making it difficult to travel. Brother Liu is still weak, so he should rest at my place for the night and return in the morning."

Saying this, Elder Shan turned his head and instructed Liu Yun, "Yun, tidy up the room on the east side and let Brother Liu stay for the night!"

"Understood, Grandfather!"

Liu Yun nodded happily and turned to the room on the east side.

"Thank you, Elder Shan. I am deeply grateful!"

Liu Zimo stood up, bowed to Elder Shan, and expressed his gratitude.

After a while, when Liu Yun had finished tidying up the room, she invited Liu Zimo to rest inside.

Watching Liu Zimo enter the east room and close the door, Elder Shan turned his head and glanced at Liu Sheng beside him.

Liu Sheng immediately understood and raised his hand to beckon Liu Hui and Liu Jian, who were beside him, instructing them, "You two don't need to go on duty tonight. Stay in Elder Shan's house and keep an eye on this Liu Zimo."

"If you notice any unusual behavior or suspicious intentions, don't hesitate to kill him on the spot!"

Liu Hui and Liu Jian both nodded in response, their eyes showing a hint of vigilance as they stared at the east room.

"No need to be so nervous. I observe that this young man has a calm and gentle temperament, unlike someone who would commit crimes."

At this moment, Elder Shan interjected softly as a reminder.

"If he doesn't show any unusual behavior and just peacefully sleeps in the room, you must not deliberately make things difficult for him."

Liu Hui and Liu Jian nodded simultaneously, saying, "Uncle Chang, rest assured, we are not the kind of people who deliberately pick fights!"

Elder Shan nodded slightly, then led Liu Sheng and the others out of the courtyard to arrange the defense outside the village tonight, in case there were wild beasts or thieves intruding during the night!

This was the nightly patrol routine of the Liu family's stronghold, and everyone was already accustomed to it.

Inside the east room, Liu Zimo lay down and closed his eyes.

Finally, he had the opportunity to calm down and rest his body, and sort out his thoughts.

This Ascension breakthrough completely overturned his previous yearning and fantasies about the transcendent realm.

Before entering the extraordinary realm, he never expected that the cultivators in the realm would treat them Ascenders with such an attitude. They completely treated them as unruly criminals, controlling those without cultivation and background, and there was no way for them to leave the Ascension Land on their own.

Registering and reforming, they transformed each Ascender into the appearance desired by the cultivation sects. Just thinking about such treatment made one's scalp tingle.

"So, my identity as an Ascender must not be easily exposed!"

"Of course, with my current cultivation aptitude and a bone age of twenty-one, even if I say I am an Ascender, others may not believe it!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly, smiling self-deprecatingly.

Even he himself never expected that one day he would escape a disaster because he was too young and useless.

"But it's still better to be cautious. It's best not to mention anything about Ascenders or the Ascension Land in the future!"

"The most urgent task now is to find some cultivation techniques and secret arts that comply with the laws of this world."

Liu Zimo muttered softly.

All the cultivation techniques and secret arts he had in the earthly realm lost their effectiveness here.

Only some pure Body Refining techniques could still be used to temper the physical body.

After all, Body Refining techniques were products of the late era and had decent body tempering effects even before the revival of spiritual energy.

Placed in this new world, they could also greatly temper the physical bodies of martial artists.

However, Body Refining techniques were ultimately too low-level. Even if cultivated to the highest realm, they were only equivalent to the Tempering Body Realm or Bronze Skin Realm in the earthly realm.

It was far from enough to stand firm in this world.

In the future, it would be necessary to obtain some cultivation techniques of this world if there was a chance.

Just as Liu Zimo was contemplating the path he should take in the future, a series of notifications about Ouyang Xinxin's fortuitous encounters suddenly sounded in his ears.

It turned out that Ouyang Xinxin, who had been brought back to the family by Ouyang Songnian, was constantly providing him with feedback on the opportunities she had gained.

It seemed that Ouyang Xinxin was still very popular after returning to the family. Not only did people send her a large amount of spirit stone resources and pill resources, but even her cultivation techniques entered a state of enlightenment!

Boom!

The sudden surge of immortal power cultivation in his body caused Liu Zimo's blood and soul to tremble, and he felt that his whole body had instantly become more than twice as light!

Moreover, insights about the cultivation of the Qiankun Qi Art quietly emerged in his sea of consciousness.

The immortal power cultivation that had just surged naturally followed the path of the Qiankun Qi Art and automatically circulated through his meridians!

That feeling was as if he had already mastered this cultivation technique and had at least three years of experience in practicing it! (End of this chapter)
