The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 159 Obtaining a Barrier and Setting Up an Array in the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm

They cautiously entered the valley, where they found themselves surrounded by lush green trees and the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers. They followed a winding path, encountering various strange beasts and plants along the way, but they skillfully avoided them all.

Finally, they arrived at the heart of Azure Phoenix Valley. Before them stood a majestic mountain, and atop it, a gigantic azure phoenix spread its wings, radiating a powerful aura of immortality. The four of them knew that this was the Azure Phoenix they had been searching for.

They respectfully approached Senior Qingluan and bowed deeply. Senior Qingluan looked at the four of them, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She asked, "Who are you? Why have you come here?"

Luo Yifei stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Senior, we are Luo Yifei, Shen Lixi, Nan Tian, ​​and Su An, cultivators from the human realm. We have come here to find a way to resolve the conflict between human cultivators and the demon race. We have heard that you possess powerful immortal techniques that can guide us, so we have come specifically to request an audience."

Senior Qingluan nodded after hearing Luo Yifei's words and said, "I see. It is truly commendable that you have come here for the sake of peace. However, resolving the conflict between human cultivators and the demon race is no easy task. You will need to make even greater efforts and sacrifices."

Luo Yifei and the other three felt a heaviness in their hearts after hearing Senior Qingluan's words. But they knew this was a challenge they had to face. Therefore, they all expressed that no matter how great the difficulties, they would persevere.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Senior Qingluan nodded and said, "Alright, since you are so determined, I will show you the way. You need to go deep into the territory of the Giant Clan in the northern part of the Wuzhong Kingdom on the Illusionary Star Continent and find a place called the 'Immortal Spirit Secret Realm'. There, you will find powerful immortal spiritual energy that can help you improve your cultivation and comprehend immortal techniques. At the same time, it also holds the key to resolving the conflict between human cultivators and demons. However, the Wuzhong Kingdom has been quite turbulent recently. A spacetime tunnel has appeared there, which is the first step on the path to immortality. A large number of cultivators have gathered there. I suggest you do not go through the middle of the Wuzhong Kingdom. It would be better to go east and go around through the Guzhu Kingdom first."

Luo Yifei and his companions were all very excited after hearing Senior Qingluan's words. They knew that as long as they could find the Immortal Spirit Realm, they would have a chance to resolve the conflict between human cultivators and the demon race.

So, after expressing their gratitude to Senior Qingluan once again, they embarked on their journey to the Immortal Spirit Realm.

"By the way, don't linger at the Cai Bei River ahead. A couple of days ago, several human cultivators were almost eaten by the Netherworld Wolves in the valley. Fortunately, I intervened and killed the wolves. However, these wolves are also creatures of nature, and I don't want to kill another one to save you. So, remember to avoid them," Senior Qingluan instructed before they left.

Fortunately, they were flying a sparrow aircraft, which made their journey much easier.

Following Senior Qingluan's guidance, they traveled eastward through the Kingdom of Guzhu, avoiding the chaos of the Kingdom of Wuzhong. Although Guzhu was also a border region, the relationship between human cultivators and demons was much more harmonious compared to northern Cai Kingdom. The four of them experienced an unprecedented peace and tranquility on this land.

After several days of flying, they finally arrived at the entrance to the Celestial Realm. Before them stretched a vast, dense forest, shrouded in ethereal mist, as if they were in a fairyland. The four of them exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

They ventured deep into the dense forest, encountering various strange beasts and plants along the way. Although these beasts were powerful, the four of them skillfully avoided them. They knew that even greater challenges and dangers must be hidden within the Immortal Realm.

Finally, they arrived at the core of the Immortal Spirit Realm. Before them stood a colossal stone tablet, inscribed with the four large characters "Immortal Spirit Realm." The four of them knew they had finally found their destination.

They respectfully approached the stone tablet and bowed deeply. Then, following the instructions on the tablet, they began searching for the entrance to the Celestial Realm. After some searching, they finally found a cave hidden deep in the dense forest.

They cautiously entered the cave, finding it vast and filled with strange runes and formations. They knew these runes and formations were set up to protect the Immortal Realm.

The four of them supported each other, walking forward step by step. Suddenly, a powerful surge of celestial energy rushed from the depths of the cave, making them feel dizzy. But they knew this was the only way to enter the Celestial Realm. So, they gritted their teeth and continued forward.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the heart of the Immortal Realm. The air was thick with celestial energy, as if they were in a fairyland. The four of them took a deep breath, feeling their cultivation levels greatly enhanced.

They began searching far and wide for the key to resolving the conflict between human cultivators and demons. After much searching and exploration, they finally found an ancient book. This book contained an ancient immortal technique that could resolve the conflict between human cultivators and demons invisibly.

“I’ve finished reading it. It’s a formation for setting up a barrier,” Su An said.

"This method is indeed a bit like burying one's head in the sand," Luo Yifei quickly calmed down.

“In fact, the death power of the Ten Thousand Mountains is also a barrier that isolates human cultivators,” Shen Lixi said.

"In other words, it's impossible for humans and demons to coexist peacefully. The method Senior Qingluan gave was just to help the demons hide." Nantian, sitting in the driver's seat, rarely joined in the conversation.

"Yes, there's no such thing as true peaceful coexistence in this world," Luo Yifei sighed softly, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

“However, we cannot give up because of this.” Su An’s eyes gleamed with determination. “Even if this road is difficult, we must give it a try.”

“Yes, we can’t give up,” Shen Lixi echoed. “Moreover, we can’t just rely on Senior Qingluan’s methods. We need to find our own ways and explore more possibilities.”

“That’s right.” Nan Tian nodded as well. “How about we go and take a look at the Kingdom of No End?”

“That’s just a stepping stone on the path to immortality. Let’s go back to Mars first,” Luo Yifei said.

"Nantian, are you suggesting that the world on the other side of the time tunnel in Wuzhong Kingdom might be suitable for the survival of the demon race?" Shen Lixi asked.

“I don’t think so,” Su An said.

“How will we know if we don’t go and see?” Nan Tian said. “By the way, Su An, your fellow disciple might still be there.”

“Yes, I understand what you mean.” Su An nodded. “However, our main task now is to resolve the conflict between human cultivators and demons, not to search for my fellow disciples.”
