The ascension platforms built on the Tianlan Continent were connected to the spirit realm's reception platforms. However, each reception platform was usually connected to several or even dozens of lower realm passages.
There were no less than 100 reception platforms in the Spiritual Realm, and there were countless passageways to the Lower Realm. However, these reception platforms weren't opened often. After all, there might not even be a single cultivator that ascended from each lower realm in a thousand years.
The duty of guarding the reception platforms was usually considered to be the most leisurely of all. Some people had been on duty for five hundred years and still hadn't encountered an ascended cultivator.
Shen Yeming received such a mission to earn merit points. After guarding the reception platforms for over four hundred years, there hadn't been any disturbances. Fortunately, he only cared about himself and cultivated.
Originally, his cultivation was only at the early Deity Transformation stage. The greatest benefit of being on duty at the reception platforms was that there were fewer disturbances.
At noon, he was sitting cross-legged next to the reception platforms with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a strange sound woke him up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the reception platform's formation had automatically activated. A white barrier flashed and covered the formation.
Shen Yeming hastily stood up and sized up the reception formation. His face instantly revealed a burst of ecstasy. Although there weren't many merit points for guarding the reception platforms, being able to receive an ascended cultivator while on duty was a lot of merit points.
Furthermore, if an ascended cultivator could directly join a sect, they could receive a considerable amount of merit points.
Thus, how could Shen Yeming not be excited? He stared at the reception platforms for a long time. Suddenly, a gap appeared in the air above him. After three breaths, a figure came out and landed in the center of the reception formation.
This person was Yi Tian, who had painstakingly broken through the realm passage and ascended to this realm. After he landed on the ground, he adjusted his balance and turned his head to look around after his feet touched the ground.
At this time, he heard someone shout from outside the white barrier, "Fellow Daoist, quickly sit down and circulate your cultivation. The spiritual power infusion will arrive in an instant."
When Yi Tian heard this, he knew that he couldn't be careless. All ascended cultivators had to accept spiritual power infusion in order to integrate themselves into the new environment.
Sure enough, after the gap in the Realm Passage closed, the originally clear sky suddenly became windy. Soon after, a large amount of spirit energy gathered from all directions. Traces of cool spirit energy also poured into the ground from the bottom of the platform from under their feet.
Yi Tian did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly absorbed the spiritual energy into his body and began to circulate it. Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Reception Platform, Yi Tian maintained his posture. The Spirit Qi whirlwind in the sky split into five and rushed towards Yi Tian's body from his palms, soles of his feet, and the top of his head.
At this time, Shen Yeming, who was standing outside the reception platform, could clearly see the situation inside the white light barrier. Inside was a male cultivator who had just arrived in this world. Judging from his cultivation base, he should be at the early Deity Transformation Stage, so it would only take a quarter of an hour for him to receive the infusion of spiritual power.
After that, Shen Yeming returned to his original position and quietly waited for the enchantment to descend again.
Unexpectedly, the spirit energy in the sky continued to gather for a while without any signs of weakening. Furthermore, the ascended cultivator was still receiving the infusion of spiritual power.
Shen Yeming also had a smattering of knowledge about the reception platform. After all, not everyone was lucky enough to meet an ascended cultivator during the time they were on duty. Furthermore, the infusion of spiritual power would usually last for a quarter of an hour, but that was only written on the duty record. No one really estimated it.
For a Deity Transformation Stage cultivator, this amount of time passed in the blink of an eye. Thus, Shen Yeming didn't say much and quietly sat to the side.
The spirit energy whirlwind in the sky lasted for nearly an hour before it weakened. After the spirit energy in the surroundings all poured into the reception platform, the sky returned to normal.
With a 'ka' sound, the white light barrier around the reception platform slowly faded and a figure appeared. Shen Yeming stood up from his seat and moved to the edge of the formation. Looking at the cultivator below, his face showed sincere joy and said, "Congratulations on ascending to the Spirit Realm. I'm Shen Yeming, the guide here."
Yi Tian converted all the spiritual power in his body into his dantian. After hearing the person just now call himself a guide, he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands. "This is Yi Tian's first time here. I'll have to rely on Fellow Shen."
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Shen Yeming knew how powerful these ascended cultivators were. Most of them were top figures in the lower realm. After arriving in the upper realm, they didn't see anything special at first. However, as they grew older, their strength and cultivation increased much faster than ordinary cultivators.
In the Spirit Realm, many forces and sects were supported by these ascended cultivators. Most of the top cultivators in this realm also ascended from the lower realm.
Therefore, these forces valued the reception platform so much and even set up the position of guide to receive these newly ascended cultivators.
After a while, Shen Yeming spoke again, "Fellow Daoist, this is your first time here and you don't know the rules of the Spirit Realm. This old man will slowly explain it to you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Yi Tian stretched out his hand and took out several top grade spirit stones and handed them over.
Shen Yeming didn't expect this. He directly stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Yi, why are you doing this? It's my duty to receive fellow daoist."
Yi Tian didn't take it back and insisted that Shen Tian accept it. However, he said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what are you saying? This is my first time in the Spirit Realm and I'm not familiar with the place.
These words made Shen Yeming feel more comfortable. He immediately stretched out his hand and took the top grade spirit stones. He said, "Brother Yi, this is my first time here. I need to go to the nearby cultivation city to register first."
"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Shen to lead the way." Yi Tian also replied politely.
"Then let's talk as we walk." Shen Yeming reached out and pointed to the east. He continued, "The nearest cultivation city here is called Luoxia City. Fellow daoist, please follow me."
After speaking, his figure flashed and directly flew into the air. Yi Tian didn't dare to let him wait for too long. He checked the state of the spiritual power around him and found that there was nothing strange. He also flew into the air.
After the two talked along the way, Yi Tian learned that the Spirit Realm was extremely vast. So far, no one had fully explored all the regions.
In the known regions, several sects each occupied several treasured lands and divided their sphere of influence. The nearest Luoxia City was the territory of the Shangqing Daoism. Most of the resources in this area were occupied by the sects.
Shen Yeming could be considered to have a relationship with the Shangqing Daoism. That was why he could get the job of guarding the reception platform. As for the most powerful sects in the Spirit Realm, they were the Mythical Fire Palace, the Feiyu Kenshū Sect, and the Taiqing Pavilion.
As for the Taiqing Dao Sect in this area, it was a branch of the Taiqing Pavilion. In addition to these large sects, there were many second-tier sects scattered all over the Spirit Realm.
