Chapter 722: Chapter 323: First-Class Immortal Envoy, Lotus Flame Immortal Monarch

Han Yi’s foreboding feelings grew stronger, but he didn’t give up. Instead, he quickly summoned his Escape Light and dashed towards another inter-realm transmission array. As long as there was a way out, even if the cost was high, he would not hesitate.

However, a moment later, when he arrived at another transmission array, there was an Immortal seated atop it.

From a distance of tens of miles, thousands of Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Spirit Transformation stage cultivators looked anxious. But in the presence of the Immortal, they didn’t dare to act rashly, not even daring to talk loudly. They were reluctant to leave, instead wandering around.

Seeing this, Han Yi no longer felt fortunate.

Even the Immortal had been mobilized. This inter-realm transmission array was definitely unusable.

It seemed that…

The high-level cultivators of Town Demon Immortal City wanted to keep all the cultivators within the city to resist the attacks of the Wisdom Clan’s affiliated races. If they really opened the transmission array, not only the loose cultivators, but even the powerful Cultivation Clans or Immortal Sects, might arrange for their core cultivators to leave. Even the Immortals might secretly slip away, which would greatly weaken the strength of the Immortal City.

If he were a high-ranking official in the Immortal City, he would definitely do the same.

But now he was one of the trapped cultivators, which made things quite troublesome.

Han Yi suddenly remembered Zhu Sui’s self-introduction. He was a cultivator from the Town Demon Immortal Sect, the managing sect of this Immortal City. If he went to find him, he wondered if he could help him leave through a different route.

However, he glanced at the Immortal who was sitting atop the transmission array in the distance. Even if Zhu Sui was at the Spirit Transformation stage, he should not have the capability to activate the transmission array.

This route won’t work.

Han Yi was about to summon his Escape Light when he suddenly noticed that the Silver Suizhu Order Token he carried with him was glowing slightly, transmitting a piece of information from this special spiritual treasure.

After checking the information, Han Yi’s eyes lit up.

The message was simple, intended for all the cultivators of the Age Candle Immortal Court in the Town Demon Immortal City, asking them to gather at the Age Candle Immortal Court’s stronghold.

The message didn’t specify whether they could leave or not, but since it was a summons, the Age Candle Immortal Court is likely to have a more reliable plan, rather than leaving them adrift like now.

Following the address in the message, Han Yi headed north and finally arrived at a cliff named Golden Candle Cliff after nearly half an hour. This was the stronghold of the Age Candle Immortal Court in the Town Demon Immortal City.

In fact…

In every Immortal City in the Immortal Realm, there was a stronghold of the Age Candle Immortal Court. Just like each Immortal City in the Daqian Immortal Country had its holy land and the three major sects’ safe heavens. This was the most direct manifestation of one’s strength and influence.

As Han Yi landed on the Golden Candle Cliff, he saw that hundreds of cultivators had already gathered, and with the passage of time, more were still arriving.

These several hundred cultivators found their own places outside a large hall on the Golden Candle Cliff, either sitting or standing, either silent or in conversation.

After Han Yi arrived, he was guided into the Great Hall where he showed his Token to a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator and registered his personal information. Then, he was assigned to wait outside the hall.

He also took the opportunity to ask about what would happen next in the Immortal Court. The answer he received filled him with unease.

“The Immortal Court does have a transmission array here.”

“However, an hour ago, that transmission array was shut down. The city’s formation, powered by a grand magic force, cut off its spatial coordinates, preventing all forces’ cultivators from leaving.”

“But don’t worry. Even if we, cultivators of the Immortal Court, don’t use the transmission array, we can increase our safety by gathering together.”

The Spirit Transformation cultivator spoke with a calm expression, showing no signs of tension. Clearly, he was confident about the Immortal Court and did not find anything to be nervous about.

But upon stepping out of the Great Hall, Han Yi felt increasingly uneasy as he saw more and more cultivators gathering.

However, the Spirit Transformation cultivator was correct about one thing: the safety of a group of cultivators was much more substantial compared to him being alone.

Han Yi observed the cultivators in front of the Great Hall. Many of them had changed into the uniform of the Age Candle Immortal Mansion. This made him feel awkward because in his hurry to go out, he had not collected any of the belongings that came with being a cultivator of the Immortal Mansion. All he had was a Suizhu token that represented his identity.

Ignoring this, Han Yi took note of the atmosphere of all the cultivators. By the time he left the Great Hall, few cultivators were returning from outside, and about five hundred cultivators were present in front of the hall.

Among them, there were over sixty Spirit Transformation cultivators, all gathered around the entrance of the Great Hall. The rest were mostly Nascent Soul cultivators, about four hundred or so. The lowest rank was the Golden Core cultivators, but their number was even less than the Spirit Transformation cultivators, about thirty or more.

In other words, the majority of the Age Candle Immortal Court’s external cultivators were in the Nascent Soul stage.

It made sense.

The Age Candle Immortal Mansion was established by the Age Candle Immortal Court to cultivate Immortals. For most cultivators, it was not until they reached the Nascent Soul stage that they could touch the Immortal Path, and not until the Spirit Transformation stage could they make some achievements.

Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage were not part of the Age Candle Immortal Mansion, but belonged to lower-ranking organizations instead. These organizations didn’t encourage cultivators to venture beyond their realm, and lower-ranked cultivators also lacked the ability and resources to journey to the southern regions of the Immortal Realm.

Only a small number of powerful Golden Core cultivators with extraordinary destinies could stand out from these lower-ranking organizations, obtain a token from the Age Candle Immortal Mansion, enter the mansion, become a lord of a mansion, and gain the ability to travel around.
