In a spacious area, there were no buildings within a radius of ten thousand miles. Apart from the extremely dense faint yellow gas that permeated the air, there were only two lazy youths standing beside a circular stone platform that was about ten feet wide.
The two youths stood back to back with their eyes slightly closed. Their hands were crossed in front of their chests, using the strength of the other's back to support themselves so that they would not fall to the ground.
"Sigh, why do you think we brothers are assigned such a difficult task? To think that the Clan Head would assign us to this godforsaken place to guard the Immortal's Attraction Platform."
"There's no profit in this place at all. Those cultivators who ascended from the lower realms are basically all poor bastards. What can they possibly contribute to us?"
One of the youths grumbled. Although their eyes were closed, they weren't really sleepy. They were just passing the time.
"Who told us to be so unlucky? The two people who were assigned to guard this place actually increased their cultivation at the same time and became False Immortals. They successfully obtained the qualifications to join the Immortal General Battalion in the city."
"Naturally, the task of guarding this place fell to us, the 'reserve troops'. Because we offended the nephew of the Patriarch, he didn't dare to openly deal with us. Naturally, he found an opportunity to transfer us here."
"Since we're already here, let's just take things as they come. What's the point of thinking about profit? The way I see it, we should be thanking the heavens and earth if we can safely complete the task of guarding the Immortal's Attraction Platform for five thousand years. "
The other youth felt somewhat unwilling and helpless when he thought of the reason they were assigned to this place. However, their cultivation was low, and their status was low. There was simply no room for resistance.
"Hmph, one day, I'll make the Clan Head's nephew kneel before me, kowtow to me, and beg me to spare him."
The youth from before suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a vicious and cruel bloody light.
"Sigh, forget it. That little overlord is not someone we can afford to offend. Let's just focus on guarding the Immortal's Attraction Platform."
"Speaking of the Immortal's Attraction Platform, we've been guarding this place for three hundred years, and we haven't even met a single Ascender. Could it be that these Ascenders have all been snatched away by other forces?"
The other youth changed the topic to the Immortal's Attraction Platform and the ascenders.
"We're only in charge of guarding the Immortal's Attraction Platform. As for snatching ascenders, that's the responsibility of the city's specialized personnel."
"They are responsible for sensing the auras of ascenders and then activating the Immortal Attraction Wheel. Now that no ascenders have appeared on the Immortal Attraction Platform in the past three hundred years, it can only mean that those people were too slow in taking action, and other factions got there first."
"Now, it's less than ten thousand years until the new 'battle for the city'. Every force is recruiting experts at all costs. Even those who have just ascended are within the scope of recruitment."
"After all, although these ascenders from the lower realms weren't as strong as the natives of the Immortal Region in the beginning, as they cultivated, their battle prowess far surpassed that of the natives of the Immortal Region of the same level."
"Even if it's been ten thousand years, the cultivation of these Ascenders has only increased by one or two levels. It's enough for them to become cannon fodder for a force."
The youth at the beginning told them everything he knew about the situation, and made a definite guess as to why no ascenders had appeared on the Immortal's Attraction Platform.
In addition, the 'battle for the city' he spoke of seemed to be very unusual. It was actually able to attract the participation of the various forces of the Immortal Region. The competition must be fierce.
It was precisely because the battle for the city was less than ten thousand years away that the various forces were recruiting experts in large numbers, including those who ascended from the lower realms.
In every force, there were specialized personnel in charge of sensing the auras of ascenders from the lower realms. Once an ascender released their aura and wanted to ascend, these personnel would quickly activate the Immortal's Attraction Wheel and bring them to the Immortal Region.
Although the Immortal Region controlled countless lower realms, the competition between the various forces was exceptionally fierce. The force these two youths belonged to hadn't attracted an ascender for three hundred years.
"Yi, there's movement on the Immortal's Attraction Platform. It seems that an ascender has arrived."
The other youth looked at the Immortal's Attraction Platform beside him and suddenly said.
"That's great. We've waited bitterly for three hundred years. This time, we must make a big profit."
The youth from before immediately became spirited. He looked at the Immortal's Attraction Platform with a greedy expression.
As the light on the Immortal's Attraction Platform gradually increased, it reached its strongest state. At this time, a figure appeared from within the light and landed on the Immortal's Attraction Platform.
"Phew, this is the Immortal Region?"
The moment Luo Ping appeared on the Immortal's Attraction Platform, he began to look around. He wanted to see what the Immortal Region looked like.
However, when he scanned the space in front of him, he discovered that it was empty. There wasn't a single building. Other than the extremely dense yellow gas, the entire place looked abnormally desolate.
Thus, Luo Ping turned around, intending to check the situation behind him. However, when he turned around, his expression turned serious.
"There are actually two people behind me, but I can't feel any aura. This means that their cultivation level is above mine."
"How can there be two people in such a desolate and empty place? Could it be … they're bandits from the Immortal Region? That they're here to steal the treasures of ascenders? "
Other than guessing the cultivation levels of these two people, Luo Ping also began to guess their identities.
Luo Ping immediately became cautious. After all, he didn't know the true strength of these two people. If they directly attacked, he would be in great danger.
"You're an ascender from a lower realm? What's your name? "
At this time, the youth with the greedy eyes shouted at Luo Ping.
"May I ask who you two are …?"
When Luo Ping saw that the two people didn't directly attack, but instead started to ask about him, he became very confused.
"Hmph, we're the Immortal Guides of Min City's Immortal Guide Platform. We're specifically responsible for guiding ascenders like you. If you know what's good for you, don't ask so much. Quickly report your name and receive your soul tablet."
The young man's tone became even sharper. However, he gave Luo Ping a simple explanation of their identities, allowing Luo Ping to have an idea of what was going on.
"So there are Immortal Guides in the Immortal Region who are responsible for guiding ascenders. However, the attitude of these two Immortal Guides …"
Although Luo Ping was somewhat dissatisfied with the attitude of the two youths, he was still new to the Immortal Region and didn't want to cause trouble. Thus, his expression immediately became 'flattering'.
"So it's the two Immortal Guides. This lowly one is called Luo Ping. I'm indeed an ascender from a lower realm. I've just arrived in the Immortal Region, so I hope the two of you can take care of me."
"By the way, how should I address the two of you?"
Luo Ping was an old monster who had cultivated for more than a thousand years. He was quite familiar with the ways of the world. Naturally, he could handle things smoothly and smoothly.
Seeing that Luo Ping's tone had become unusually respectful, and he even bowed to them politely, the two young men's expressions became better, and their impression of Luo Ping also became better.
"I'm called Min Dong, and he's called Min An. We're the reserve troops of Min City's Min Clan. We've been in charge of guarding this Immortal Guide Platform for a very long time. You're the first ascender we've guided."
"Seeing that you're so 'sensible', as long as you take out something valuable, we'll definitely help you. Otherwise, you'll definitely have a hard time moving forward in the Immortal Region."
It was still the same young man who had spoken earlier. He introduced the two of them by name and identity. However, after the introduction, the young man began to directly 'rob' them.
"That's right. You've just ascended and know nothing about the situation in the Immortal Region. It's very easy for you to get into trouble like this. Who knows, you might even get yourself killed very soon."
"However, with our help, we'll tell you a few things you need to take note of in the Immortal Region and give you a map of the Immortal Region. Then, you'll definitely be able to move about unhindered in the Immortal Region."
The other young man, Min An, quickly added.
When Luo Ping heard the words of the two, he understood their intentions. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. However, he still maintained a fawning expression on his face.
"Many thanks for the good intentions of the two lords. This lowly one is eternally grateful. However, this lowly one came from a low-level world. What valuable things do I have to give to the two lords?"
"I'm sure that the two lords wouldn't be interested in the low-level items on this lowly one. Rather than taking them out and embarrassing myself, it's better not to take them out. Otherwise, the two lords would be worried about them."
"Therefore, it seems that this lowly one won't have the chance to get the two lords' help. The two lords had better give this lowly one a soul tablet as soon as possible and let this lowly one roam the Immortal Region on his own."
Although he appeared to be very fawning, Luo Ping didn't want to take out anything valuable to give to the two of them. He didn't want to cause a fatal disaster.
After all, if the value of the items he took out was too high, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion and conspiracy of the two of them. Perhaps, in order to obtain more items, the two of them would join forces and kill him.
And if the value of the items he took out was very low, it would also arouse the dissatisfaction of the two of them. At that time, he still wouldn't be able to get their help.
No matter what, it would make the two of them unhappy. In comparison, it was much better to make them unhappy than to cause them to kill him and steal his treasures.
Under such circumstances, Luo Ping might as well choose to 'cry poverty'. He didn't even take out a single item and didn't need their help. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and see the true appearance of the Immortal Region.
"Hmph! I think you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You want to take the soul tablet without any reward? What a joke!"
"If you don't do anything today, you can forget about getting the soul tablet. To tell you the truth, this soul tablet can record your identity and information. It's the only proof you can use to roam the Immortal Region in the future."
"Since you don't even want the soul tablet, you might as well give up your life."
The young man named Min Dong's expression turned vicious. As soon as he finished speaking, he released a huge amount of Celestial Origin Energy that shrouded Luo Ping.
