In the end, Ju Lu and Mo Qiong returned. After handing over some matters, they chose to travel with the other immortals to search for the so-called "Mercury".
Just like that, the twelve True Immortals went on a long journey and almost never returned. The Qi Refinement cultivators were instantly dumbfounded.
"You have not become immortals for thousands of years. Originally, you thought that it was because of the Heavenly Dao. But now that I think about it, perhaps this greenhouse that sealed the sky has harmed you. The universe is vast and the stars are immeasurable. You should go out and take a look. "Ju Lu stood beside Mo Qiong and explained the agreement with Lan Bai She.
"Teacher!" Qing Yang and the other Qi Refinement cultivators looked up at the starry sky. They were at a loss.
They were the common students of the twelve True Immortals, so they did not call him master but teacher. Although they were all in the Tai Chi Realm, they had never explored the starry sky. Because to them, the starry sky was too dangerous. They wanted to wait until they became immortals before going, so as not to drag the other True Immortals down.
Therefore, it was always the True Immortals who went to the nearby Venus to search for Grand Essence Qi and brought it back. They had always been waiting at home.
Perhaps it was because of this that these Qi Refinement cultivators had never been able to take the final step to become immortals. Thinking back, the twelve True Immortals did not have a teacher to lead them. When they were still in the Tai Chi Realm, they slowly explored the outer space.
Perhaps the secret behind the transformation of Qi Refinement cultivators into immortals was actually some kind of environmental stimulation in space. Perhaps it was the mental stimulation of being in the vast and empty space, or perhaps it was some kind of stimulation of the Dao Fruit by cosmic rays.
They had cultivated for thousands of years without any results. It was hard to say if it was not because of their arrogance.
Only when they felt the insignificance of humans in the universe could they become immortals.
"Teacher, take the students away!" The Qi Refinement cultivators knelt on the ground and begged.
Now that they knew that their teachers were all going to leave, they immediately cried like abandoned children.
But children had to be independent.
"Silly children, whether it is wealth or power, they are all in the Star Sea. If you want them, go and find them. We are just leaving first." With that said, Ju Lu walked into Bastet's warehouse and nodded at Mo Qiong.
He left and went in search of Mercury, just like his fellow Daoists.
Along the way, they would leave guidance or inheritance on all the planets they discovered. they wrote down everything they discovered and imprinted it on the planets. Like pioneers, they left countless footprints.
And the Qi Refinement cultivators, whether it was to become stronger or purely to find their teachers.
Once a person has a goal, they will grow.
Now that the Heaven Realm had been opened, there was nothing to stop people's hearts from swelling.
Immortal cultivators no longer had to wait for death in their sects for hundreds or thousands of years. They could continue to grow. Upward, outward, and forward. In every direction of the universe, there were paths everywhere.
Mortals, on the other hand, might still be ignorant, but they already had room for independent development. Eventually, the wheels of the era would slowly roll.
Once the wheels started rolling, they would never stop unless they were destroyed.
One day, what should be awakened would be awakened, and what should be born would be born. Wisdom, duty, and sacrifice would continue to play out, spreading endlessly like a curse.
And that was already a very distant matter. As for the future, it was not something that Lan Baishe was willing to care about.
…
The first meeting of the World of Immortal Cultivators was held in the outer atmosphere.
This meeting was presided over by the Blue and White Society, which divided the order of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The twelve immortal sects each sent out a representative, the Qi Practitioners sent out a representative, and the Blue and White Society sent out a representative. Thus, fourteen initial members were born.
As for the mortals, they would have to wait until a mature regime appeared.
The main thing was to decide the separation of immortals and mortals. In other words, immortal cultivators could no longer exert influence on mortals. If mortals cultivated on their own, they would be integrated into the immortal cultivator system. Otherwise, mortals would be independent.
The twelve immortal sects sent out immortal cultivators who were responsible for bringing immortal cultivators from the mortal world to the deep mountains and forests. They also took back all the magic treasures and talismans that were lost in the mortal world.
However, there was no need to take back the ancient books. After all, this was a world of immortal cultivators. In the future, there would definitely be more immortal cultivators among the mortals. It was not important. Lan Baishe's order did not mean that mortals could not cultivate. They just wanted to give those who did not cultivate a way to live.
Perhaps after the separation of immortals and mortals, as the influence gradually faded, mortals would begin to no longer believe in immortal cultivation. Or perhaps, it would be the opposite. The disappearance of immortal cultivators would instead give rise to a great sense of mystery. And this sense of mystery would cause countless mortals to daydream and yearn for the Path of Immortality even more.
Either was fine. In the end, the commoners had a choice.
As a path that not everyone could succeed on, immortal cultivation could be a dream, but it could not be the only choice for development.
In the future, when there were no more places in the deep mountains and forests, or when human footprints were all over the world, immortal cultivators would probably have established a flourishing civilization on Venus.
And after countless years, when mortals could set foot on Venus, there would probably only be ruins left. Immortal cultivators would have already set foot on even more distant places.
After this point was completed, the rest were minor details. For example, all immortal cultivators had to be registered and could not cultivate without registration.
Lan Baishe would provide them with a cross-universe technology exchange or business platform.
The twelve immortal sects would provide military assistance and fight across worlds.
After Lan Baishe expressed that they could trade and communicate with other worlds in the future, the immortal cultivators were in an uproar.
The universe was already vast enough. There were actually other universes. It was fine if their paths were different, but if there were other immortal dao worlds, then they could communicate and trade with each other. The profits would be unimaginable.
However, for the time being, there was only one thing that could be bought on the platform: poor money.
"Leave this photo behind. If there are any reports, you can burn them to us."
"By the way, there are residences left behind by immortals on Venus. If you explore there, remember to imprint our Lan Baihe Society's logo on it. It will be convenient for us to find you. In the future, all colonized planets will follow this example."
After Sister You finished speaking, she left the venue to them and let them decide on the internal laws of the cultivation world or some cooperation projects. Then, she left.
They returned to Lan Baihe City on the surface to finish up.
This city would be completely handed over to mortals. Although Bo Hei and the other demons, Dongye Bo Yu, and the others would still stay here as peripheral personnel, they would move behind the scenes and would no longer be disclosed to mortals.
They almost didn't have to do anything. They just had to keep an eye on the situation in the secular world. Perhaps one day, this city would be destroyed by the imperial court, but that was no longer something that Lan Baihe Society could manage.
"Immortals, don't go!"
"Didn't you want to protect us?"
"If Immortals leave, how can we resist the imperial court's army?"
Without a doubt, the transmigrator team was about to leave and was strongly urged to stay by the refugees.
They were afraid. Even if there were no immortal cultivators, they were afraid of being annihilated by the ordinary army.
Sister You shook her head and said, "You have sabers, armor, and a strong city. If you are annihilated, who can you blame? The only ones who can protect you are yourselves. "
The refugees wailed. They knew that the immortals couldn't protect them forever.
However, Sister You gave another choice. "If you really don't have the courage to stay, then you can follow us to a wild continent. That place is the same as the southern forest. It hasn't been developed and there are countless ferocious beasts. In fact, you might not even be able to eat the plants there. Everything in the future will need you to cultivate and create with your own hands. "
"This …" The refugees were shocked and immediately fell silent.
There were also places that were rarely visited by humans here, but was it so easy to open up a wasteland? Only by overcoming countless obstacles and facing countless dangers could one create a paradise for the future generations to live in.
If it was before, they would have gone no matter what. But now, with this strong city and weapons and armor, thinking about it carefully, their hundreds of thousands of people could already be considered a powerful force.
Compared to that, many people suddenly felt that it was better to stay. Maybe the imperial court would recruit them.
"This is only a choice. If you are tired of this place, you can go to the wild continent. There are no powerful forces there, no imperial court. Everyone develops their own land. If you have the ability, you can have tens of thousands of hectares of homes. If you don't want to, then stay. "Sister You said.
Most people didn't utter a word, but there were still many who decided to take a gamble. This was a vast and desolate continent with no signs of human habitation. This was an opportunity.
"I want to go! As long as you can give us the tools. "
"I'll go too. I just need a year's worth of food."
Sister You immediately got people to count the names. After half a day, it was finally confirmed that there were 60,000 people going. Most of them were dragging their families along.
On the other side, Mo Qiong was crossing the universe and discussing with Canaan which era of Earth to go to.
That place would become the rear of the Lan Bai Society and even the entire Earth's civilization in the future.
