"The other thing is to obtain an Immortal Fate Order from the Upper Immortal Realm."

"Every hundred thousand years, a varying number of Immortal Fate Orders will fall from the Upper Immortal Realm."

"Those who possess this order can ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm when the next hundred thousand years arrive."

"According to the ancestors who went up, it's because there are constant battles in the Upper Immortal Realm, and it's not peaceful, so they need replenishment."

Brother Cheng secretly complained, it's really troublesome, these Immortal Emperors in the Upper Immortal Realm really think of themselves as superior.

"So, where can we get these Immortal Fate Orders?"

Surely it can't be that one has to search aimlessly, right?

That would be quite annoying.

"Immortal Fate Orders are not difficult to obtain, the Celestial Pavilion in the Qianlan Celestial Realm has them for sale."

"What? They're actually for sale?"

Although ascending to the Upper Immortal Realm doesn't seem like such a monumental task for Brother Cheng.

With his talent and his overpowered system, no conditions set by those great powers could stop him.

But that's only true for him personally.

For others in the Middle Immortal Realm, ascending to the Upper Immortal Realm should still be extremely difficult, yet enormously tempting, right?

After all, once there, one can obtain better cultivation conditions.

The opportunity is being sold just like that?

"What is the price?"

Not having to search aimlessly and being able to solve it with money seemed like a cost-effective and convenient matter to him.

"A hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

"So cheap?"

Brother Cheng was surprised once again.

A hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, for him, was actually a large sum.

Back when he eliminated so many Immortal Cities in the Ascension Battle, the spoils of war included tens of billions of Immortal Crystals, but almost all were lower grade.

Converted to top-grade Immortal Crystals, it was actually only over one million.

Moreover, back then he exchanged a large portion for points, and his remaining assets now total only around 200,000 top-grade Immortal Crystals.

At that price, he could only buy two Immortal Fate Orders.

However, after all, it is a 'tool' that can ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm, it's too outrageous to be so casually purchasable.

"At this price, the Immortal Fate Orders should have been sold out long ago, right?"

"And what's the background of this Celestial Pavilion, to have something like this for sale, and at such a reasonable price?"

In his view, the opportunity to ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm, let alone a hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, even ten million, or even a hundred million top-grade Immortal Crystals, someone would gather everything they have to try and buy one.

The Celestial Pavilion obtained the Immortal Fate Orders but didn't use them themselves, selling them cheap to others, could they be doing charity?

Immortal Venerable Yuan Sheng quickly answered: "The Celestial Pavilion has existed in the Immortal Realm since the ancient times, and its headquarters are now located in the Upper Immortal Realm, with several Immortal Emperors backing it. In the Middle Immortal Realm, there are also over a dozen Immortal Kings overseeing it."

"They only do business, do not meddle in any feuds, and no one dares to provoke them."

"As for the Immortal Fate Orders, they were sold to them."

"Sold to them?"

Brother Cheng was even more puzzled, why sell the hard-earned Immortal Fate Order to the Celestial Pavilion?

"What's the situation here?"

Yuan Zhen quickly explained: "The ancestors have been in seclusion for so long, they may not know, there's a hidden reason."

"The Immortal Fate Order is not a free pass upon obtaining it; it must be in possession on the day the hundred thousand-year period ends to be valid."

Brother Cheng was quite speechless, those Immortal Emperors indeed just changed the form but kept the essence the same.

Although the Immortal City Ascension Battle was gone, the struggle had not disappeared.

Yuan Zhen continued: "The Immortal Fate Order will reveal its aura to the outside world every ten years, so cultivators within a hundred million miles can sense it. And in the center of the Middle Immortal Realm, there's also an Immortal Fate Chart that displays the location of all Immortal Fate Orders every ten years."

"The display lasts for a whole month every time."

"During this period, no matter where you are or what isolation methods you use, you cannot hide!"

This is quite ruthless, Brother Cheng finally understood.

If someone is lucky enough to get an Immortal Fate Order, for the tens of thousands of years that follow, they will never have peace.

Every ten years, their whereabouts will be exposed in various ways to other immortals in the Middle Immortal Realm.

In this situation, anyone holding an Immortal Fate Order is holding a Life-Ending Talisman.

Even if one's power is strong enough, it's hard to withstand the gazes of hungry wolves.

"So the real competition is in the final ten years?"

"Exactly!"

"After the final exposure of the Immortal Fate Order's location in the last ten years, the struggle enters a fever pitch."

"At that point, if you get the Immortal Fate Order and hide it in a secret place, you can successfully ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm by the deadline day."

"Besides the first four generations of ancestors, over tens of millions of years, our sect has had 357 predecessors ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm through this method."

Immortal Venerable Yuan Zhen's face darkened: "But there were even more predecessors who fell due to the competition for the Immortal Fate Order..."

"As for the tens of thousands of years before that, most people who obtained the Immortal Fate Order would choose to sell it to the Celestial Pavilion, for the price of ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals."

"The Celestial Pavilion, regardless of power, background, or neutral attitude, is the only place daring enough to purchase Immortal Fate Orders."

If you don't sell, keeping it in your hands is like holding a burning potato.

Not only can't you keep it safe, but it could also bring calamity.

Rather than let it go to waste, exchanging it for ten thousand Immortal Crystals is a gain, right?

The only ones that can hold onto it are possibly some extremely powerful Ancient Immortal Sects.

"Damn, this Celestial Pavilion really knows how to do business."

Originally, Brother Cheng thought ten thousand Immortal Crystals was cheap, but instantly he felt the Celestial Pavilion was quite scheming.

Buying in at ten thousand, selling out at a hundred thousand, and this business can be done every hundred thousand years, just profiting indefinitely.

"Master Ancestor, do you plan to buy the Immortal Fate Order?"

Jiang Cheng's apparent realm was only that of a First Grade Golden Immortal, which Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng saw instantly.

But the two had no doubt about his identity.

Because the legends left by the second, third, and fourth generations also mentioned this, that the First Ancestor appeared to have a low realm.

But he could slay Immortal Emperors, so what could you say?

"How long until the next deadline?"

"131 years."

"That's quite a while..."

Thinking that he would have to wait another 131 years to ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm, Brother Cheng felt a bit irritated.

But then he thought again, if he had awakened 131 years later, wouldn't he have to wait for the next hundred thousand years?

Would have been better to cultivate to the Immortal King Realm then.

Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng were quite puzzled, secretly wondering how cultivation had no years, and besides, you've been in seclusion for over a billion years, why care about a mere 131 years?

"Then buy it, what else can we do?"

Brother Cheng had actually thought about whether to rob that black shop, the Celestial Pavilion, so he wouldn't have to pay a single cent.

But then he thought that would be too uncivilized, after all, he was a reasonable person.

The main reason was that he could easily leave, but in the future, this group of disciples and grand-disciples from the Feixian Sect might face retaliation.

For the sake of some connection, better to hold back a bit.

With his confirmed answer, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng beamed with delight.

"Then, could Master Ancestor perhaps buy a little more..."

These two old fellows started scheming, hoping Brother Cheng would take them along.
