Forsaken Immortals

The Wushi Continent was much better than the realm below when it came to cultivation resources and the density of the heaven and earth essence. However, when compared to the Primal Chaos Dimension, it was still a far stretch behind.

The weather inside her private dimension was always comfortable, and Bai Rouyun was happy upon seeing that her adorable children were all cultivating in the grassy fields.

Although these children were all picked up from various locations and none of them seemed to be of human heritage, Bai Rouyun still loved them dearly, and seeing them working hard like this made her feel proud.

She did not interrupt their training, but instead quickly cleaned herself and began cultivating on her own. The Wushi Continent was not suitable for the weak, and even if she had a good background, only by increasing her strength would she be able to ensure her safety.

The current inn was perfect for her, as it could hide her entrance into the Primal Chaos Dimension, so she did not have to worry about others noticing her abnormality.

When activating the formation, the staff would be informed, and thus no one would try to approach the guest but leave them alone.

Bai Rouyun kept the formation activated for three days before she finally decided to leave the closed-door retreat.

It was, initially, not her intention to stay in retreat for so long. However, after entering the Primal Chaos Dimension, Bai Rouyun found that the energy within her body was building up for a breakthrough, and she patiently sat down with her entire focus aimed at succeeding.

After breaking through the Innate Realm and reaching the Ascended Realm, Bai Rouyun knew that there was a great difference between the ranks. In her old world, those who could cultivate were already powerful and immortal, but now she knew that the Innate Realm was merely the beginning. It was the stage where your body began absorbing the energy and slowly refined it into a power that could be used by them.

This was also the purpose of the colors that had been used in the previous ranks, as the final color, violet, was the most revered color of all as it symbolized nobility and prosperity.

After one finished leveling up through the Innate Realm, and their bodies became able to withstand the powerful energy, that was when the Ascended Realm was opened, and the cultivator was finally on the way to become an immortal.

In the Ascended Realm, the cultivator would first construct a core, after which they would refine their soul. When the core was created and the soul was refined, the cultivator would reach the final sub-realm before becoming a true immortal, and that was the Corporeal Shedding stage.

Immortals were not bound by their bodies but their souls, and upon successfully advancing, they were no longer humans but spirits. Every being, whether it was a plant, a beast, or a human, would become a spirit upon successfully reaching the Immortal Realm.

Knowing this had made Bai Rouyun understand the importance of cultivating. There were mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Even if she had reached the apex of the lower realm, she had now ascended to the Wushi Continent, but even this was not the end. Even this place was merely a middle-ranked plane, and as long as her power was enough, Bai Rouyun and her dear ones would be able to keep ascending until they reached the Godly Domain.

There were many things for Bai Rouyun to consider, but she also understood that she had to take it one step at a time, so she did not keep dwelling on a realm far beyond her reach, and instead worked harder to improve her present life.

"Mother, I am very hungry."

After Bai Rouyun awoke from her retreat, she could feel the energy pulsating through her body, but suddenly, an adorable voice sounded by her side. As Bai Rouyun opened her eyes, she was surprised as she had expected Jiaojiao to be alone; however, all her children were looking at her with their adorable expressions.

Bai Rouyun could not help but smile happily as she looked at the diverse group of children around her, and she quickly went to freshen up. Fortunately, things were much simpler with the assistance of inner strength, and after taking a bath, she quickly dried herself and put on a clean robe.

The moment she withdrew the formation, a notification had been sent to the counter, and a servant hurried upstairs to provide any service she might need.

"I would like to order a table full of delicacies. I would like one of each item on your menu." Bai Rouyun was pleasantly surprised when she noticed the attention this inn paid to its guests, and she quickly ordered enough food for all the children and herself.

The food was sent quickly, and after sharing a meal with her children, she left the room with only Xiaohua by her side disguised as a bracelet.

Having been in retreat for more than a few days, many changes had happened to the Forgotten City, and many had arrived from all across the Wushi Continent.

Many things had happened in this region within the last few days, and since strength was much more important here than on the continent below, everyone was eager to hurry over and see if they could gain some sort of treasure or fortunate encounter to boost their abilities.

Everyone knew that Zhao Xiaozhou only used the most outstanding resources, so for him to cause such a huge stir, it had to be worthwhile, even if only a tiny part of the treasure could be grabbed.
