I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

207  The Immortal Ladder Test (1)

After hearing Xu Wan'er's explanation about homebodies, the image of Lu Yuan not leaving the house surfaced in Shan Yao's mind.

The word 'homebody' indeed seemed to be specially coined for Lu Yuan.

At least in Shan Yao's memory, Lu Yuan had never left his small courtyard of his own accord.

His area of activity was always in the small courtyard, and he rarely even went out of the village.

It was only that one time that Lu Yuan went out for a little longer.

However, after he returned, he still stayed in the courtyard.

If Shan Yao didn't know that Lu Yuan was a human cultivator, she would have even suspected that Lu Yuan was transformed from a big tree.

Otherwise, how could a person stay in one place without moving?

Thinking of that, Shan Yao sighed.

It seemed that Lu Yuan would definitely not come today.

With that thought in mind, Shan Yao completely focused on the Path for Immortal Ascension above her head.

Since the Heavenly Gate that symbolized the selection had already appeared, it meant that the assessment was about to begin.

It was unknown how many people would pass the assessment this time and ascend to the Upper Realm...

...

Meanwhile, in the Sacred Realm where the Path for Immortal Ascension was to take place, three people were sitting around a pool. A Sacred Realm was in fact a small world that was specially opened up. Rather than calling it a small world, it was more like a special residence. Such a small world could only be built by cultivators of the Apotheosis Stage and higher.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Ming, I didn't expect that the Spirit Sword Sect would send an Apotheosis Stage expert like you to host this Immortal Ascension Assembly."

After hearing the words of the person beside him, Jing Ming, an elder, said helplessly, "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. Originally, there was no need for me to appear in such a small scene. However, our sect received news some time ago that there seemed to be a problem with the luck of this small world. A portion of the providence disappeared for no reason."

He continued, "As you all know, the 300-year mark is the time for us to collect the luck of this world. Although the luck lost in this part is not much, the sect suspects that a little thief has secretly run into this world, so they specially sent me here to take a look at the situation here."

Hearing that, the other two cultivators revealed curious expressions.

"Daoist Jing Ming, have you found any clues?"

"I've already been to the place where luck is declining." Jing Ming shook his head." But I didn't find anything unusual. The array in the Forbidden Area has never been triggered, which means that no one has entered. After all, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator can't do this. Only an Apotheosis Stage cultivator can do it. But if an Apotheosis Stage cultivator were to attack, he would definitely not formation of the Nascent Soul Stage?

Thinking of that, the two of them suddenly felt that the Immortal Ascension Assembly might have a big surprise in store for them.

After all, every selection of cultivators in the Lower Realm was an opportunity for them to network.

Those who could break their way out of the Lower Realm would not have low achievements in the future. They were talents that could be invested in advance, and building a good relationship with such talents in advance might be beneficial in the future.

Thinking of that, the remaining two of the Three Upper Realm Sects, Memory Sect's Yu Wenbai and Xuanyang Sect's Li Yuanhao made up their minds to see if they could find that talent in this selection meeting.

In their eyes, the guy who could quietly snatch part of the luck from the hands of the Spirit Sword Sect was definitely a moldable talent.

Although the Three Upper Realm Sects seemed to be one, where there were people, there would be conflicts.

As long as the guy who could quietly take advantage of others was nurtured a little, he might be able to quietly bleed other sects in the future.

As for whether the guy would not come to the Immortal Ascension Assembly, the three of them, including Jing Ming, did not doubt it.

This was because the Immortal Ascension Assembly was not just a talent selection.

The Heavenly Gate in the Immortal Ascension Assembly was also the only passage from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm unless a powerful being helped one open up a new passageway.

As long as the guy appeared in the Heavenly Gate, they would always have a chance to find him.

That was also the reason why Jing Ming had appeared there.

Normally, the three sects would only send one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator each to the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

However, since there was a mysterious guy who was able to avoid the array of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and possibly also avoid detection from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, sending an Apotheosis Stage cultivator over was undoubtedly the safest option.

Not only could it ensure that the guy would not be able to pass through easily, but it helped make suppressing and capturing the guy using absolute strength when necessary easy.

Those who were participating in the Immortal Ascension Assembly would definitely not have thought that their assessors would be an Apotheosis Stage cultivator and two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

However, even if they knew, they probably wouldn't think much of it.

After all, they were only there to participate in the assessment and not to fight with the three examiners.

Whether the examiners were in the Apotheosis Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage, it did not affect them at all.
