After passing through the entrance to the Immortal Realm, they arrived inside. From the looks of the surroundings, there wasn’t much of a difference from the outside world.
There were still many spaceships docked in the Immortal Realm.
These spaceships basically belonged to foreign races since humans didn’t use them.
Humans, for instance, only used transportation-type magical artifacts or big Immortal Beasts.
After entering the Immortal realm, a number of disc-shaped light balls of various colors flashed in the air.
They were Small World portals.
‘A Small World was like a bus stop, filled with countless teleportation array formations.
Every teleportation array formation had a different teleportation location.
For example, for those who came to the Immortal realm for the first time, it would be extremely difficult to find the corresponding Small World of their desired location without the help of locals.
‘Asa result, a scalper industry of people serving as guides was created at the entrance of the Immortal Realm, and the competition was fierce.
There was a conflict between the scalpers because of their source of customers.
Just a moment ago, Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi saw a bunch of scalpers getting into a scuffle over a customer being snatched away.
“F*ck you! How dare you rob my business! I’m gonna kill you!”
“Brothers, charge at him and beat him to death!”
“Useless fellow. You’re the one who sets your prices too high and gives bad service. Why are you telling me this?”
“Brothers, charge at them!”
“Old Dan, looks like the competition in the Immortal realm is quite intense!” teased Qin Chuan.
“This is the Immortal realm we’re talking about! There are abundant resources here but there are also lots of people! It’s bound to be competitive!”
Dan Yangzi looked very proud as he spoke.
“When I was younger, I used to work as a guide here. It was tough work.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Every day, I was either trying to attract customers or fighting other scalpers.
“Come to think of it, this place is still where I wasted my youth!”
As a native-born and bred in the Immortal realm, Dan Yangzi had many memories regarding this place.
“Oh, that’s right!” Qin Chuan suddenly asked. “Old Dan, is this Luo Ding Sect a big faction in the Immortal realm? What is their actual strength like?”
Dan Yangzi replied, “You think too highly of me, Old Qin.
“The Immortal realm is huge, and there were countless sects. How could I possibly remember all of them?
“However, since the Luo Ding Sect has the right to manage the entrance to the Immortal realm, they should be a second-tier faction, and one of those right at the top.”
“Old Qin, you have no idea how difficult it is to obtain management rights over the entrance to the Immortal realm.
“Do you know the term “bidding”
Qin Chuan frowned. “The management rights have to be bidded?”
“Exactly! You have no idea how involuted’ it is. Without abilities, it’s impossible to succeed. So, only second-tier factions are involved.”
“Why not?” asked Qin Chuan. He thought, there are also the first-tier factions and those above them. Why aren’t they bidding?
“The factions at the first-tier and above are powerful, to begin with and have many industrial chains. They don’t care about the profits here at all.
“But, it is a different story for second-tier factions. They are on the rise and will try their best to boost their resources.
“Theoretically speaking, the management of the entrance to the Immortal realm gives quite a lot of profit.
“Look at those foreigners. The main reason they have come to the Immortal realm is to do business. They will bring some special ores or rare fruits, and these things have to be registered.
“If the foreign races wish to smoothly pass through the entrance, they will have to give them some of what they have brought.
“And look at those scalpers. They wouldn’t have dared to act so brazenly without the permission of the Luo Ding Sect.
“To work here, all those scalpers have to pay a fee to Luo Ding Sect.
“I won’t elaborate on the rest.
“From this, it’s easy to imagine how much revenue managing the entrance to the Immortal realm would bring to the Luo Ding Sect. That’s why the competition is so intense.”
Qin Chuan nodded. He could tell that the higher the level of civilization, the greater the competition and the greater the pressure on one’s survival.
As they chatted and laughed.
Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi were brought to a Small World.
It was bustling here as usual, with countless spaceships and all kinds of transportation artifacts.
Numerous teleportation array formations of all colors floated in the air, dazzling one’s eyes.
Every array formation was guarded, and one had to pay a certain fee to use them.
The currency in the Immortal realm was Spirit Stones, but since foreign races would visit, it could also be paid for with items of equivalent value.
‘With so many Small Worlds, so many teleportation array formations, and huge traffic every day,
it was easy to imagine how much wealth the Luo Ding Sect could generate just by collecting the fees for the teleportation array formations.
How could the management of the entrance to the Immortal realm not be competitive?
“Elder Qian, Elder Yun!” The disciple guarding the teleportation array formation greeted Qian Dian and Yun Maohua.
They took an extra glance at Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi and couldn’t help but feel a little astonished.
‘As guards, they had seen too many conflicts, and a few groups of people had already gotten into a scuffle with foreign races.
Disciples from the Luo Ding Sect’s disciplinary office were present to maintain order.
In fights, the lightest punishment were fines.
For the more serious ones, they would only be fined more.
Unless they had done something extremely terrible.
The disciple keeping guard guessed that these two people belonged to the category of the most terrible ones.
After all, they had the disciplinary elders had been alerted.
Before long, Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi were escorted into the teleportation array formation.
The teleportation passage was long, and it took more than half an hour before the journey ended.
Due to the vastness of the Immortal realm, there were tens of billions of galaxies of various sizes. A single teleportation array formation was insufficient to send one directly to the Luo Ding Sect.
Qin Chuan recalled that there were more than a hundred teleportation array formations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey took more than half a month to reach the Luo Ding Sect.
From this, one could see how big the Immortal realm was.
Without a teleportation array formation, flying alone would probably take years.
‘As a second-tier faction, the Luo Ding Sect had over ten billion disciples and more than 50 Immortal King realm experts.
In the Immortal realm, Immortal Emperors rarely interfered. Immortal Kings could be considered apex existences.
The strength of a faction was determined by the number of experts they had, and Immortal Kings were a reference everyone had agreed upon.
The factions in the Immortal realm were divided into five grades.
First-tier, second-tier, third-tier, fourth-tier, fifth-tier.
Factions above the first-tier were considered the most influential ones, but they did not need to be categorized.
‘There were no Immortal Kings among the fifth-tier factions, but there were experts who were halfway to becoming an Immortal King.
Fourth-tier factions would have either one or two Immortal Kings.
A third-tier faction had at least three Immortal Kings.
‘The Qingyun Sect that Qin Chuan had come to investigate only had three Immortal Kings, and they were the weakest among the third-tier sects.
A second-tier faction had to have at least 30 Immortal Kings.
And first-tier required 100 Immortal Kings.
The Luo Ding Sect had more than 50 Immortal Kings, and they were one of the strongest second-tier sects in terms of overall strength.
‘The fact that they were able to secure the management rights over the entrance of the Immortal realm from their rivals only served to further illustrate how powerful they were.
The Luo Ding Sect controlled thousands of galaxies, and its headquarters was located on the Luo Ding Planet. Genius disciples cultivated there.
Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi weren’t taken to the headquarters. Instead, they were taken to a place called Mega Planet.
This was the Third Division of the Luo Ding Sect, and the area was huge, five times larger than Blue Planet.
There were more than twenty billion residents on Mega Media, and other cultivation sects existed as well.
However, they were all affiliated sects of the Luo Ding Sect.
After all, there were so many residents on this planet that it would be difficult for the Luo Ding Sect to manage alone.
