Immortal Realm.
Vast and boundless, its territory spans countless billions of miles.
The sky above was not the ordinary blue we see every day, but rather a vibrant tapestry of five colors.
Countless stars still twinkle in the daytime, each one as large as a mountain, hanging within reach.
Divine islands floated in the void, with silver waterfalls cascading down them like the Milky Way hanging upside down from the heavens, their roars carrying the sounds of the Great Dao.
This place is not only filled with spiritual energy, but also with substances that promote longevity.
If an ordinary person takes a breath here, they can live a hundred years longer and be free from all diseases.
Deep within that most magnificent palace, chaotic energy surged, obscuring all heavenly secrets.
A phantom of a blue lotus takes root in the chaos, swaying gracefully, each leaf seemingly supporting a vast world.
Li Changqing sat cross-legged beneath the blue lotus.
He was dressed in a blue long robe, his hair was glistening, and he did not exude any terrifying aura; he looked like a scholar.
But the spacetime around him is distorted.
The illusory shadows of the long river of time appeared and disappeared beneath his feet, yet dared not touch them.
As a transmigrator, I have been in this perfect world for countless years.
From a mere mortal, he fought his way to the point where no one in the world dared to claim supremacy, becoming a powerful immortal king known as the Azure Emperor.
He founded the Evergreen Immortal Palace, ruling over this region and overlooking the ages.
Li Changqing slowly opened his eyes.
Between the opening and closing of his eyes, it was as if two universes were being created and destroyed, with a fleeting scene of creation flashing by.
The spiritual energy of the entire Evergreen Immortal Palace pulsed with his breath.
"Is An Lan getting restless again?"
Li Changqing muttered to himself.
Just now, he sensed a violent fluctuation coming from the direction of the Imperial Pass.
That aura was domineering and grand; it could only be found among those immortal kings from other realms.
However, Li Changqing's expression remained calm.
At his level, his perspective has long since shifted away from gains and losses in this particular realm or region.
Although the other realms are powerful and there are many immortal kings, as long as Li Changqing is there, the Immortal Realm cannot be overturned.
What he truly feared was the eerie progenitor on the plateau, the source of that eternal black calamity.
In comparison, the intrusion into a foreign land felt more like a training exercise.
Suddenly, a series of light footsteps came from outside the main hall.
The clouds and mist dispersed.
A woman dressed in a flowing, colorful dress walked in.
The woman possessed unparalleled beauty, with skin as white as snow and a heroic air about her. She was none other than Chu Nishang, Li Changqing's personal disciple.
She walked up to Li Changqing's seat and bowed respectfully.
"Disciple Ni Chang greets Master."
Li Changqing looked at her and nodded slightly.
"What is it?"
Chu Nishang straightened up, her expression somewhat solemn.
"Reporting to Master, an urgent report from the border region."
"The alien realm suddenly became turbulent. The two immortal kings, Crimson King and Anlan, made their move across the Heavenly Abyss, intending to shatter the boundary wall."
"Fortunately, the Immortal King Wuzhong was nearby and summoned the Wuzhong Bell to block that peerless attack."
"But cracks have appeared in the boundary, and the families of the various Immortal Kings are filled with anxiety, fearing that the Immortal King will forcibly cross the boundary to come."
At this point, a hint of worry flashed in Chu Nishang's eyes.
After all, they were kings from another land, each of whom had committed countless atrocities and possessed terrifying power.
Upon hearing this, Li Changqing's face did not show the solemnity that Chu Nishang had expected.
He simply straightened his sleeves casually, his tone calm and unperturbed.
"It's alright."
"Now that Wuzhong has made his move, the boundary will be safe for the time being."
"Even if they really dare to cross boundaries..."
Li Changqing paused, his gaze piercing through the main hall, looking towards the distant borderlands.
"With me here, they can't get here."
Just a few words.
There were no grand pronouncements, no earth-shattering killing intent.
Yet it exudes a confidence as firm as a pillar of strength.
Looking at her master's calm face, Chu Nishang's anxiety instantly vanished.
Too.
My master is the Azure Emperor of the Immortal Realm, who once single-handedly suppressed the chaos of darkness. This mere foreign realm is nothing to him.
"Um?"
Just then, Li Changqing let out a soft exclamation.
His gaze shifted from the desolate borderlands to a void node at the edge of the Immortal Realm.
There, a very faint spatial fluctuation could be felt.
It was extremely faint; to the Celestial King, it was like an ant trying to shake a giant tree.
But Li Changqing, with his keen senses, instantly understood the cause and effect.
"A small world has actually formed a connection with this place?"
Li Changqing scanned the area with his divine sense and instantly captured information about that world.
Douluo Continent?
Li Changqing was speechless.
That fantastical world of floor tiles?
It seems that some kind of spacetime turbulence caused the coordinates of the two worlds to overlap for a moment.
A few "little ants" fell in through the crack.
Li Changqing shook his head and looked away.
Such a change was so significant that he didn't even have the right to glance at it.
An ant entering a dragon's pool is doomed from the start.
...
In a desolate ancient forest somewhere in the Immortal Realm.
Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, each tree towering thousands of feet high, their canopies blocking out the sun, resembling green mountain peaks.
The spiritual energy in the air thickened into a mist.
A golden figure appeared out of thin air, landing somewhat disheveled on the ground covered with decaying leaves.
Qian Renxue steadied herself and cautiously surveyed her surroundings.
She had radiant blonde hair, flawless features, a tall figure, and an elegant demeanor.
As the young master of the Spirit Hall, she was used to seeing big scenes.
But at this moment, she felt a shiver from the depths of her soul.
"This is... the Perfect World?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
With just one breath of air, she felt her soul power surging wildly within her body, and the bottleneck in her body even showed signs of loosening.
That's an exaggeration.
The energy level here is many times higher than that of Douluo Continent.
The scene from half a day ago flashed through Qian Renxue's mind.
A massive canopy suddenly appeared in the sky above the Douluo Continent.
The heavens announced that five lucky individuals would be randomly selected to enter the legendary higher plane—the Perfect World—for trials.
Except for her, Qian Renxue.
There's also Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy, Jiang Zhu from Lanba Academy, Yue Guan, an elder of the Spirit Hall, and that arrogant seventh elder of the Clear Sky Sect.
"It's too quiet here."
A sense of unease rose in Qian Renxue's heart.
The surrounding plants were all ridiculously large. An unknown wildflower by the roadside was even taller than her, with an eerie light swirling on its petals.
...
At the same time.
Douluo Continent.
Countless people were looking up, staring intently at the enormous screen of light in the sky.
The light screen was divided into five perspectives, each corresponding to one of the five people who entered the perfect world.
The Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Emperor Xueye frowned as he looked at the scene in the picture that resembled a miracle.
"Is this the scenery of the upper realm? Every plant seems to contain spiritual power that surpasses that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."
Ning Fengzhi stood to the side, holding the scepter in his hand, his eyes filled with shock.
"That world is probably full of treasures. If we could bring back one or two immortal herbs, how could my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not prosper?"
Shrek Academy.
Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye to its maximum, staring intently at the details in the image.
"The environment here is a hundred or a thousand times better than the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
"I just don't know what kind of powerful creatures will guard such a treasure land."
