Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 343: The Immortal Realm Shattered by Filters. The storyteller is an ascended powerhouse!

In order to preserve their strength, the Supreme Beings of the Hall of Eternal Life did not go all out to compete for the ascension slots.

Because what they need to do is help Liu Ruyan attain enlightenment!

This was the first order of the Eternal Emperor, and no one dared to disobey it.

Otherwise, even if they went to the Immortal Realm, they would still face the Emperor's wrath.

But staying here is different. If we serve the Emperor diligently, we all still have a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm together...

A restaurant in the city.

'Now, finally no one is competing with me for the opportunity to attain enlightenment!' Liu Ruyan looked at the ascension portal that had disappeared into the void and leisurely raised her cup to sip her tea.

I never expected that the opportunity to ascend would come so suddenly and so early!

Her original plan was to attain enlightenment first, and then wait for the path to immortality to open.

In this way, she not only gained the opportunity to attain enlightenment amidst the great tide, but also the blessing of ascension!

With the blessing of two great fortunes and the support of the Eternal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, her future cultivation path can be described as smooth sailing!

But Ling Qingxue's appearance shattered her perfect plan!

Unfortunately, they are descendants of immortals, so it's normal that they can't compare.

But after that woman was sent to the Immortal Realm by the Eternal Emperor, Tu Miaoling and Luo Hongxi, who possessed explosive combat power, appeared afterward?!

When the tide turns, it's normal for talented individuals to flock to the scene like carp crossing a river.

But it's outrageous that such extraordinary geniuses, who only appear once every few hundred thousand years, are all popping up in droves!

Good luck!

Perhaps Heaven sensed that Tu Miaoling and Luo Hongxi were not suited to be here, and thus directly initiated the Path to Immortality.

The two were sensible enough to know that if they didn't ascend, they would be struck by the Heavenly Tribulation, so they chose to ascend on the spot.

'It's just a pity about this opportunity to seek immortality...' Liu Ruyan put down her teacup, a hint of regret in her voice.

Who knows when the next Path of Immortality will open?

If nothing happens, she can only wait for her master, the Eternal Emperor, to help her ascend to immortality through unconventional means.

But if she does that, she won't gain the approval of Heaven and won't receive the blessing of ascension.

'Well, things are already pretty good as they are now. As long as I attain the throne, I'll gain great fortune and power, so it's not a complete loss...'

Otherwise, she would likely have been killed by Tu Miaoling and Luo Hongxi.

Thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes:

'As for your Imperial Clan, the Tu Family, the Sword Sect, Yaochi, and the Ancient Cloud Palace, I will settle scores with them one by one!!'

After being so humiliated for so long, it's time for her to come out and let the world know that only the Eternal Emperor can bring fear to Xuantian.

She, the Emperor's first disciple Liu Ruyan, is also acceptable!

'But before that, I need to find out which cultivators have enough source material behind them...' Liu Ruyan secretly calculated.

Ling Qingxue, Tu Miaoling, and Luo Hongxi, three people who seem to have no connection whatsoever, might actually be allied with some kind of 'primordial power' behind the scenes.

If she can also gain the support of these behind-the-scenes figures, she may very well gain the approval of Heaven and reactivate the ascension channel in the future!

"It's too early to discuss this matter; we need to think it over carefully." With a smile, Liu Ruyan gracefully poured herself a cup of tea.

There is no one in the Xuan Tian Realm that she fears anymore; it can be said that the entire world is her resource pool!

When the time is right, she will gather these cultivators who have powerful backers; perhaps they can help her embark on the path to immortality.

'My wonderful life is just beginning...'

……

Haicheng.

Inside the room, Shen Yun was staring at the image of Luo Hongxi and Tu Miaoling.

Because after the two ascended to the Immortal Realm, they were not together, but were randomly teleported.

Tu Miaoling was lucky; she landed in a city in Tianbo Prefecture.

Luo Hongxi was in an awkward situation, as she landed directly in a camp at a mine.

"Damn it! You want my little Hongxi to mine?!" Shen Yun's face darkened as he frowned at the screen.

"This is yours! And this is yours too!" In front of the crowd, a shady foreman handed out equipment to each of the new miners who came forward.

"Dig here for a hundred years and you'll regain your freedom and receive a hundred years' worth of wages from my Da Bao Mansion! You'll dig to death anywhere else and never get out! You've probably heard about the reputation of our Da Bao Mansion on the way here, so don't cause any trouble! Otherwise, you'll only have one life!"

'I'm an ascended immortal, how did I end up mining here...' Luo Hongxi, standing in line, looked around speechlessly.

Throughout her life, the hardships she endured were only in practicing martial arts and refining elixirs; she had never done any physical labor.

However, she deduced a key piece of information:

'The person who writes vernacular novels must be an ascended supreme being!'

Some stories say that after cultivators ascend to immortality, they are captured and forced to mine because their cultivation level is too low.

The onlookers simply assumed it was a joke.

After all, this is the celestial realm, where everything is beautiful. The environment where immortals live is so beautiful it's almost bubbly, and they ride cranes everywhere they go.

Luo Hongxi thought so too, and held beautiful fantasies about the immortal realm.

But right now the ground is covered in mud, and the surrounding mountains are dark and gloomy.

Looking at the mining cultivators changing shifts ahead, each one of them was covered in filth and dirt, shattering her beautiful illusions about the immortal realm.

'However, the favor items in the Immortal Realm are very easy to sense!' Luo Hongxi glanced at the mine ahead and estimated that she could clearly sense favor items in the mountains, which were hundreds of meters away!

You should know that when she was in the lower realm, she could only have this effect by touching the magical artifact.

'Let's mine! I'll mine the favor items first,' Luo Hongxi consoled herself.

This is a favor item from the celestial realm, it's definitely better than in the mortal world.

As long as she can help the young master, suffering a little hardship is nothing to her.

"Here's your mining equipment." The foreman looked up and handed over the package. When he saw Luo Hongxi grinning broadly and reaching out, his brow furrowed immediately.

'What's Old Zhou up to? Bringing a wandering immortal to mine?!'

Black Bloodstone is not something that lone cultivators can mine; there are also Black Bloodworms in the mine that will occasionally attach themselves to cultivators.

If someone with low cultivation level doesn't notice, their blood will be quickly drained.

Even immortals need to take turns resting during mining to prevent excessive loss of essence and blood.

'He's quite pleasing to the eye.' The foreman placed the package he was holding on the table and waved his hand.

"Xiaoqiang, take her to the logistics and medicine area to be a medicine-pounding boy for a year."

Most of the people who come here to mine are unfortunate people. This little cultivator must have suffered a misfortune at home to come here so early.

Old Zhou might have been bribed to bring her in; if we just kick her out, we'll cut off her future.

Of course, the main reason was that the girl was pleasing to the eye and had a charming personality, which caught his eye.

Otherwise, without connections, not just anyone can enter the pill area.

"Yes, Steward Wang!" The servant behind her gestured to Luo Hongxi with an envious look.

"Come on, girl, if you can become a Dan Tong within this year, you'll earn much more than you would from mining!"

The logistics and alchemy area is mainly responsible for ensuring that the miners' vital energy and blood are not depleted. There is an alchemy master in charge of it. If you can become his medicine apprentice, you will rise to the top in the world!

However, Manager Wang also said that there is only one year left, and if the girl does not understand, she will be dismissed.

'Alchemy?' Luo Hongxi blinked; this was her specialty!

"Thank you, Manager Wang!" She quickly clasped her hands in a respectful bow to the manager.

She won't force herself to mine if there's no need to; she can just take some time to visit the mines ahead and collect the favor items.

After the two left the group, Xiao Qiang whispered a reminder to Luo Hongxi:

"Fellow Daoist, if you achieve success in the future, don't forget Steward Wang! You have no idea how many people want to enter the alchemy area, and people have been lining up to offer gifts! But Steward Wang refused to accept a single one. This is a great opportunity for you!"

“Of course.” Luo Hongxi nodded, noting down the favor done by Steward Wang.

I'll help them out when I achieve some success in my cultivation.
