Those flying ahead nearly stumbled out of midair upon hearing this.
They had to admit Gu Li's idea was extraordinary...
Yet to them, such an inscribed talisman served little purpose, and they treated it as nothing more than a joke.
Passing Renjian Ke, they continued flying toward the mountains.
It had to be said that the Seventh Domain did not appear all that large; even the entire Great Xia Domain was vaster than this First Layer.
Before long, Li Guanqi and the others spotted four towering pagodas. Cao Yan said softly,
"Those are the Four Heavenly King Towers of Alchemy, Artifacts, Arrays, and Talismans."
"Quite spectacular indeed."
Looking in that direction, the four sky-piercing towers stood around a town-like city.
The city was not large, spanning less than three thousand zhang across—more like a small town.
Li Guanqi and the others moved swiftly, covering several thousand zhang with each stride, and soon reached this small town.
Right at the town entrance, Li Guanqi and the others saw a stone stele by the gate.
"Whoa... Xianling City. What a grand name."
Li Guanqi smiled and said softly, "Let's go find the Immortal Burial Pavilion."
When Li Guanqi and the others arrived at the Immortal Burial Pavilion, a few scattered cultivators were conversing in the hall.
Seeing Li Guanqi and his companions, they cupped their fists in slight greeting.
In this place, what earned another's respect was not the power or connections behind you—everything depended on strength!
And even within this Immortal Burial Realm, the strength of Li Guanqi and his group was undeniably a force not to be underestimated.
Both Li Guanqi and Ye Feng were now late Mahayana realm cultivators, their auras vast, steady, and profound as an abyss.
Meng Wanshu was currently in secluded cultivation, and before long she would surely break through to the late Mahayana realm as well!
Moreover, Cao Yan and his companion had informed Li Guanqi about the matter of the Bingqi Realm after returning.
Although Li Guanqi appeared calm as still water on the surface, tempestuous waves surged within his heart as well!
If what Sun Changlin and the others said was true, then Realm Lord Bingqi's inheritance was likely far less simple than Li Guanqi had imagined.
Since that person was a realm lord, their cultivation realm had to be at least the Ascension realm!
Most likely, they were a mighty cultivator at the peak of the Ascension realm.
Grandpa should be an existence beyond the Ascension realm; he just didn't know by how much...
Furthermore, judging by the conversation between Grandpa and the sword spirit, the sword spirit's status in the Immortal Realm was likely extraordinary as well.
Then again, it made sense. If it were ordinary, why would those mighty cultivators from the upper realm go through such trouble descending to the lower realm to search for her?
Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes. He even suspected whether the destruction of the Bingqi Realm was tied to the search for the sword spirit!
"Hello, do you need to register your identities?"
A fairly good-looking female cultivator inquired gently.
Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, his thoughts pulled back.
"Yes, all of us need to register. Thank you."
The woman smiled. It had been quite some time since she last registered newcomers in the Immortal Burial Pavilion.
Having heard of the young man before her, she could not help taking an extra look or two.
The jade slips were pitch-black throughout, dotted with starlight like a glittering galaxy.
Above was engraved a mysterious, formidable rift of the Immortal Realm.
Below, seven layers of flowing light flickered with cold gleams, as if in confrontation against it.
Holding the icy-cold jade slips, everyone scrutinized them closely.
Just then, the woman's voice sounded beside their ears.
"Would you like me to show you around the Immortal Burial Pavilion?"
"I can also explain the uses of the pavilion and the jade slips."
Li Guanqi and the others looked up one after another and thanked her politely.
"Then we shall trouble you, fellow daoist."
He addressed her this way because he felt a considerable surge of origin power within her body.
Moreover, her actual cultivation age was likely over a thousand years, far from the twenty-something she appeared.
Yet in the cultivation world, age was the least meaningful metric; whether to address someone with honorifics depended entirely on their respective realms.
Had Li Guanqi only been a Body Integration Realm cultivator, he would likely have had to call her senior.
The woman smiled, stepped out from behind the counter, and led them toward the second floor.
The group was slightly taken aback. They had not expected this modest pavilion to conceal a whole other world inside—from the outside, it had appeared to have only a single story.
Past the staircase stood a luminous gate shimmering with radiance.
The woman smiled softly. "If you wish to go upstairs, you will need your identity jade slips."
"Be sure to keep this jade slip safe! It is practically the most important item in the Seventh Domain."
"Not only does it record your battle achievements, but it can also be used for transactions, checking intelligence, and even exchanging goods."
Gu Li nodded slightly, his expression somewhat solemn as he spoke.
"Such a tiny jade slip actually contains numerous formations..."
"I really wonder what kind of monster possesses such array mastery!"
The woman's lips curved slightly at his words, and she murmured,
"Across the world's Six Domains, the Ethereal Immortal Domain, and the Ancient Clans—the pinnacle masters of alchemy, craftsmanship, talismans, and formations from all three realms are almost all gathered in the Immortal Burial Realm!"
None of them doubted this. After all, the Seventh Domain was inherently a place that gathered the world's elite cultivators.
Using their respective identity jade slips, the group promptly arrived on the second floor.
Immediately, they saw six colossal stone steles standing on the second floor.
The steles were pitch-black throughout, with golden characters flowing continuously across their surfaces.
The woman continued, "One stele each for alchemy, artifacts, talismans, and arrays, while the other two are for dharma artifacts and classic manuals."
Li Guanqi swept his divine sense across them and was instantly astounded!
In a flash, he appeared before the stele for classic manuals.
This stele had the fewest golden characters, yet it was the most precious!
With just a glance, Li Guanqi discovered that the grades of many arts, cultivation methods, and secret manuals listed here had long surpassed the Heaven Grade!
This sight drew the attention of Ye Feng and the others as well, who all gathered before the stele.
Ye Feng murmured in shock, "*Star Shattering Moon Art*, *Void Shadow Escape Steps*, *Shadowless Illusion Heart Art*, *Void Shattering Finger*..."
Xiao Chen could not help swallowing hard, shifting his gaze slightly toward what followed.
"*Void Shattering Finger*, King Grade manual, eighty thousand immortal crystals?!"
When he saw the number of immortal crystals behind it, his scalp went numb.
One had to know that the Red Dust Brew they drank cost only a single immortal crystal per jar!
Eighty thousand...
The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth twitched. Ordinary Mahayana realm cultivators were reluctant to even use a single purple gold crystal for cultivation.
Some Mahayana cultivators were even still cultivating with purple crystals.
A single immortal crystal could be exchanged for at least one hundred and twenty purple gold crystals!
Eighty thousand immortal crystals... was truly an astronomical figure.
Behind those arts and manuals, Li Guanqi even spotted Saint Grade and Divine Grade cultivation methods!
Only, the number of immortal crystals behind those was an even more terrifying, astronomical sum.
Seeing this, the woman could not help smiling.
"If you ever have the chance to battle immortals who descend from above, you will realize there is actually hope."
"After all, slaying even the lowest-ranking immortal yields one hundred Immortal Burial points."
"One hundred Immortal Burial points is enough to exchange for ten thousand immortal crystals."
"Besides... the storage rings of those immortals sometimes hold pleasant surprises."
Hearing this, Li Guanqi perked up. It seemed it was not impossible after all.
The six steles recorded far too much, so the group decided to examine it thoroughly using their jade slips once they returned.
Heading downstairs, they left the Immortal Burial Pavilion.
