Chapter 53: Absolute Jade Mortal Realm
Absolute Jade Mortal Realm
It was a term he was unfamiliar with. After upgrading the Immortal Jade Pendant to +10; many changes happened on it which Shen himself was unaware of. The change not only upgraded the Realm but it also re-created it.
Like after the second layer of the realm unlocked, Shen received the Absolute Taming Card. Similarly, for the third layer he received the Heavenly Genesis Cauldron and on the fourth, he received the Absolute Jade Mortal Realm.
Absolute jade Mortal Realm, it didn’t have an explanation, like what it did or what use it had.
As Shen started feeling irritated, he noticed another small stone tablet by the side of the main one. There were words written on it!
[Absolute Jade Mortal Realm]
[The first layer of the mortal realm has been unlocked!]
[Only those who are given the rights of entry, can enter the Mortal Realm. On the first layer, the entry is limited to 15 people.]
[One must be within 20 meters radius of the Sovereign to enter the Mortal Realm.]
[During the entry any foreign soul or tracking method will be rendered useless.]
[Second Layer of the Mortal Realm, Locked]
[Third Layer of the Mortal Realm, Locked]
“...” Shen was speechless.
If it was possible he wished to keep the realm completely secret but given with these benefits he would want to keep his loved ones with him. And if the Mortal Realm was big enough to accommodate the Heavenly Emperor Palace, he would definitely not ignore the chance.
There were too many things inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Emperor’s Training Ground, Cultivation Pavilion, Heavenly Guards and much more. He wanted to check the treasury badly. Although he didn’t expect great things since it was hardly used by the Lust Race, he still hoped to gain some subpar items.
While he might cultivate inside the Absolute Realm, his loved ones could use the benefits inside the palace and there might be cultivation methods that can tempt him!
“Let’s just check out Mortal Realm first, I’ll know what I can do with it.” sighed Shen.
Closing his eyes he focused on his mind. The Mortal Realm should be similar to the Immortal Realm. He imagined himself being inside a different realm. Just as he opened his eyes, he found himself to the outside world. Shen frowned and again tried to enter the mortal realm. This time he found himself in a plain.
[A/N: Absolute Realm -> Immortal Realm;]
This place was nothing impressive like Absolute Jade Immortal Realm, it was rather moderate. The density of energy/qi in the energy was indeed richer than the outside world but it was hugely lacking compared to the Immortal Realm. Not to say, the density of qi inside the Immortal Realm increases with every layer unlocked.
But this place was much bigger than Immortal Realm, he estimated two third of the land to be free even after he placed the Heavenly Emperor Palace here. Far away from the plain land, he noticed some vague mountains and waterfalls!
Rushing, he indeed found the existence of mountains and waterfalls. The mountains were all medium size to big. Only the medium size mountains were visible as for the bigger mountains they were only partly visible.
The rest were blocked by a thick layer of mist, unmovable by any method. It was easier to understand that this layer mist will dissipate when he unlocks the next layer of the Mortal Realm.
He found two waterfalls, one of them came from a medium size mountain. It was rather average and it's possible to take bath here. The other one was, however, connected to a steep mountain and it was hundreds of meters long. The force of the waterfall was strong and Shen could feel this place was a potential training ground for clearing the mind and cultivating Life Qi. Not only that if it was deep enough, it would be suitable for strengthening his body too.
What caught his eyes was this realm seemed to have a day and night cycle system which the Immortal Realm didn’t have. He couldn’t see the sun, nor the moon. It was almost dark and the surrounding fogs blocked his vision but the dark sky was visible on top of his head.
Much to his surprise, there were trees on the mountains and the plain was filled with grass. He felt like the realm was giving him a world to cultivate.
Which was unlike the Immortal Realm when he received it. He only received the Absolute Chaos Tree and Energy Enhancing Fruit Tree. Compared to the lush green grass in this place, there was not even a stalk of grass.
The existence of tree and waterfalls meant there were living organisms in this place but even after searching for hours he didn’t find any beasts but he did find some fish prawns on the water.
He readily decided he will place the palace a little distance away from the magnificent waterfall! Still, he decided to save that for later. He also had his own plans about the Heavenly Palace.
While he didn’t want to expose the realm to others, the idea of being able to keep his loved ones with him had already tempted him. He had a palace and realm where he can keep his loved ones. They will be with him and cultivate at the same time. It won't be necessary to separate with them even if he wants to go to the higher level continents!
The limited amount of entry bothered him but he had to unlock the next layer of the realm. So far he had no idea how to unlock the next level of the Mortal Realm. It would be easier if it was connected to the Immortal Realm but he felt it was not. Not after there was another stone table for Absolute Jade Mortal Realm.
‘I should try out the leaving and entering method.’ thought Shen before leaving the realm with a thought.
Similar to how he used to enter and exit the Immortal Realm, he could exit and enter the mortal realm but no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t enter the immortal realm from mortal realm and the same for the opposite method. To enter any of the two realms, he had to come to the outside world.
A gust of wind flew on Shen’s face. He stared at the dark sky of Kyushu. The Moon was high in the night sky...
‘That’s not right. The moon was clearly not that high when I entered the realm. How can time pass so quickly... Unless?’ As Shen hit upon the thought he realized there was nothing mentioned about time dilation or active hours on the Absolute Jade Mortal Realm’s Stone Tablet.
“Arrgh, I hope I still have two hours of time. I can’t waste time now.”
Shen entered the Immortal Realm. He first collected ten Great Longevity Fruits from the tree. Before collecting the Thyme and Perillas. Then he searched out the old Clam inside the pond. It seemed the clam was frightened by the blackbird and hid in a corner of the pond.
Shen realized he didn’t lecture the mischievous bird to keep its disastrous claws away from the old clam. So he spent another 10 minutes to lecture it properly before starting his cultivation.
