"Kid, it seems all 108 people have gathered. You can now enter the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode."
The Demon Lord's voice rang out.
Lu Fan's face lit up with joy. He had long understood the mysteries of the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode from the Demon Lord.
Once the 108 tokens appeared, the Immortal Abode would open, offering countless Opportunities—a prime chance to ascend to the heavens in one step.
"Dying within the Immortal Abode does not affect life or death in reality, but each death requires a month before you can re-enter. Therefore, do not easily throw your life away."
The Demon Lord reminded him:
"The more time you have, the greater the probability of obtaining Opportunities. If you miss out on some Opportunities due to time, you will regret it too late."
The opening of the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode was also limited.
Once the time was up, everyone would be expelled from the Immortal Abode. During this period, how many Opportunities one could find depended on their own abilities.
Lu Fan nodded.
The next moment, the azure dragon manor token radiated light, and a torrent of memories surged into both their minds, instantly revealing the incantation to enter the Immortal Abode.
Both of them silently recited the incantation.
The next moment, a wisp of their consciousness was drawn into a mysterious space.
It felt as if their entire being was thrown into a turbulent flow of time, until the sensation of solid ground returned beneath their feet.
Lu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself on an unimaginably vast plaza.
The plaza ground was paved with a type of warm, jade-like white stone, emanating a reassuring Spiritual Qi.
Lu Fan subconsciously called out to the Demon Lord, but unfortunately, there was no response.
As expected, he would have to venture into the Immortal Abode by himself.
…
"This… isn't this just a virtual open world?"
Han Xuanji pondered.
Dying was just like going offline.
However, the difference was that everything gained here could be fed back into reality.
For example, if one had a Breakthrough in Realm within the Immortal Abode, they could also have a Breakthrough in Realm in reality, which was extremely profound—truly the method of an Immortal.
It was just that for major Realm Undergoing Tribulation, one still needed to have the Breakthrough in reality.
Based on this alone, Han Xuanji concluded that the Azure Dragon Emperor's origin was absolutely extraordinary.
He had established the Immortal Abode for many years, creating countless Prodigies, and yet harbored no malicious intent. Han Xuanji couldn't help but admire the ideological Realm of such a figure.
If it were him, he might not think so much, at most leaving behind some Legacy.
Thoughts flashed, and Han Xuanji quickly focused on the matter at hand.
"There should be quite a few Dao-infused places within the Immortal Abode. Thirty years should be enough."
"System, can I sign in at this plaza?"
[The White Jade Plaza is a special three-star sign-in location.]
"A three-star sign-in location, good."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
One should know that the entire Shenxuan Sect had only a few three-star sign-in locations, and this plaza in the Immortal Abode was one, clearly indicating its extraordinary nature.
But what made it special?
Han Xuanji quickly asked the System.
The System quickly provided an explanation.
[Special sign-in locations, with unique Dao essence, are guaranteed to grant a trait upon signing in.]
"That's excellent."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
"System, sign in."
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode · White Jade Plaza, obtaining the trait "Myriad Law Saint Physique".]
[Ding, it is detected that the host possesses multiple Physique traits. Do you wish to perform a Fusion?]
[Note: Fusion requires one month. During Fusion, the host cannot use the sign-in function. The benefits after Fusion are immense.]
"One month…"
Han Xuanji hadn't expected the System to have this function.
"Then let's perform the Fusion."
Han Xuanji was still open to advice; it was only a month, so there was no rush.
At this moment, dozens of figures already stood on the plaza.
They were either isolated and aloof, or gathered in groups of three to five, their Aura as profound as the sea or as ethereal as an Immortal.
"Good heavens, there are quite a few strong individuals."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
Entering the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode relied purely on Luck, but it didn't rule out that some people obtained it through forceful means.
"However, there are also weaker ones…"
…
"This is going to be a disaster."
With just a glance, Lu Fan felt his heart pound like a drum. An indescribable pressure permeated the air, making his Golden Core Stage cultivation seem so insignificant.
"It seems everyone's cultivation is far above mine?!"
Lu Fan wailed inwardly, feeling like a young beast that had stumbled into a giant beast's lair.
The clothing and insignia on these Cultivators all showcased their distinguished origins. Lu Fan had also learned some information about the top powers of the Kyushu Continent over the years.
He knew that this continent was vast, and not to mention the famous great Sects, the foundations of some ancient families and reclusive Sects were unfathomable…
"This… how can we even play this?"
Soon, Lin Potian found Lu Fan in a corner of the plaza and complained.
Even though he knew that Cultivators could not harm each other within the Immortal Abode, the thought of competing for Opportunities with these powerful beings still gave him a headache.
Han Xuanji saw the two "Children of Luck" in his eyes mixing together, and he wasn't surprised.
In fact, Han Xuanji had quite a bit of interaction with these two.
Because Lu Fan would occasionally mention Han Xuanji, believing that Han Xuanji's Dao Heart was firm, and that he would surely achieve great things in time.
Even after Lu Fan became a True Disciple, he always felt an inexplicable sensation when facing Han Xuanji.
He himself couldn't explain the reason.
It was just his intuition telling him not to be disrespectful.
Han Xuanji would occasionally inquire about the experiences of these two, and he could only say that they were largely as he had imagined.
Even after becoming a Sect's True Disciple, they would often encounter danger outside.
It was simply outrageous.
But each time, they managed to turn danger into Opportunity and gain considerable benefits.
Just as he was lost in thought,
New figures descended, accompanied by the light of the azure dragon manor token.
In just a moment, all 108 figures had gathered.
The previously somewhat empty plaza was now filled with various powerful Auras and hushed discussions, the air seemingly thickening.
"You're here?"
"You're here too?"
"Why shouldn't I be here?"
"And why shouldn't I be here?"
On the plaza, a pair of figures stood in opposition.
Soon, someone recognized them.
"It's the two Saints of the Yin and Yang Immortal Sect from Central Continent."
"These two are truly a love-hate pair; I didn't expect to see them in the Immortal Abode as well."
Someone chuckled.
The Yin and Yang Immortal Sect was also a famous Immortal Holy Land in Central Continent. It was rumored that several Undergoing Tribulation Old Ancestors resided within the Sect. Naturally, it had countless Prodigies under its wing, and these two Saints, the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Physiques respectively, were naturally at odds. Their strengths were comparable, both at the Peak of Soul Transformation cultivation.
Both had believed only they possessed the manor token, never expecting the other to have one as well.
Before long, a grand voice boomed in the sky above the plaza, clearly entering everyone's mind:
"The Azure Dragon Immortal Abode opens today!"
"You who hold the tokens and enter the Abode, know the rules:
Within the Immortal Abode, death is not true death, but the soul returns to the real world, and one month is required before re-entry. Time here is exceptionally precious; may you cherish and be cautious with it, and not squander the Opportunities!
When the thirty-year period arrives, no matter where you are or what you have gained, you will all be expelled from the Immortal Abode."
"The Immortal Abode is vast, with countless Opportunities. Whether seeking treasures, finding methods, seeking the Dao, or engaging in friendly sparring, follow your heart. We only hope that after thirty years, you will all have gained something, not betraying this edge (affinity), for the eternal prosperity of the Immortal Dao!"
The voice, like a grand bell, resonated in every corner of the plaza, announcing the official opening of the Immortal Abode.
The moment the voice fell, the invisible barrier covering the plaza silently dissipated, revealing the true appearance of this Immortal Abode.
Green mountains and clear waters, like a paradise on earth, with incredibly abundant Spiritual Qi.
The atmosphere on the plaza instantly boiled. With almost no hesitation, everyone simultaneously circulated their Spiritual Qi, either transforming into a dazzling rainbow or shrinking the ground to an inch, heading into the distance. Their goals were clear, their Aura like a rainbow, clearly having already planned for some of the Immortal Abode's top Opportunities.
In the blink of an eye, only one figure remained on the plaza.
Han Xuanji thought for a moment and decided to scout first.
There were countless Opportunities within the Immortal Abode, but there were also a few particularly famous places.
