After registering in the Administration Hall, Chen Fan and the others followed Lin Feiyu to the Immortal Tread Courtyard, which wasn’t a courtyard. It was a residential area for low-class disciples: those who hadn’t yet entered the Immortal Platform realm. The term "immortal tread" referred to stepping into that realm. As one of the ten great immortal sects of the Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain, the Featherlight Sect naturally recruited many new disciples, some strong, some weak. Disciples in the Legendary realm were considered low-class; once they broke through to the Immortal Platform realm, they were promoted to high-class status. Above them were seed disciples, legacy disciples, and finally, paragon disciples. Of course, titles like seed or paragon were still far out of reach for Chen Fan and the others. The Immortal Tread Courtyard was massive, as over a hundred thousand disciples lived there. When Chen Fan and the others heard this news, towering waves immediately surged in their hearts. A hundred thousand people! That meant a hundred thousand Legends. In the lower realm, such a force could sweep across entire continents. Lin Feiyu laughed and said, “Hoho, you don’t have to be so surprised. Cultivation in the Heavenly Realm is nothing like the lower realm. Before reaching the Legendary realm, the path is smooth; only after that does progress slow down. “The Legendary realm demands strong comprehension, so there are also countless people stuck in this realm. Each step is very difficult. In the Immortal Platform realm, one could rule a city in the Heavenly Realm.” Chen Fan and the others nodded, but they were still very shocked inside. What did it mean to have a hundred thousand Legends? Together, they could probably kill an Immortal Platform expert, or even an Immortal King! In the lower realm, a Legendary realm expert was the pinnacle, a top-tier figure among major forces, forming their core combat power. However, in the Heavenly Realm, Legends were as common as cabbages, everywhere and practically worthless. Half an hour later, Lin Feiyu arrived at the Immortal Tread Courtyard along with Chen Fan and the others. “This area ahead is the Immortal Tread Courtyard.” Although it had more than a hundred thousand low-class disciples, it wasn’t as lively as one might expect. Lin Feiyu noticed the crowd’s confusion and chuckled. “Wherever you go, Heavenly Realm or the lower realm, the strong are honored. Sure, in the lower realm, those in the Legendary realm may be regional overlords with immense power. Here, they are nothing. “Without achieving the Immortal Platform realm, they are just ants. So even though more than a hundred thousand disciples live here, most spend their time cultivating, or they’re out undergoing harsh training, chasing breakthroughs and opportunities. You mustn’t slack off in the future either. Otherwise, you’ll stay at the bottom, bullied by everyone above you.” “We’ll remember Senior Brother Lin’s teachings.” The crowd nodded, expressing their gratitude. Only after entering the Heavenly Realm did they grasp the world’s true scale. What once seemed like a lifelong goal, reaching the Legendary realm, now marked just the starting point. If they wanted to gain a steady foothold in the Featherlight Sect, their only option was to become strong. Furthermore, after arriving here, they had to shed their former identities as so-called prides of heaven. Back in the lower realm, they were prodigies envied and feared by all. However, in the Heavenly Realm, they were just part of the crowd. The scale of the Heavenly Realm, its people’s talent, and the richness of its lands were on a completely different level. Since ancient times, countless powerful bloodlines and rare constitutions had emerged here. Placed among them, the “peerless geniuses” of the lower realm were, at best, average. In the Heavenly Realm, the very definition of genius had changed. Lin Feiyu brought Chen Fan and the others to an area in the Immortal Tread Courtyard where many caves were still unoccupied. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by n0velfire.net “These caves are available,” he said. “Pick whichever you prefer. I’ll be taking my leave now.” Chen Fan and the others expressed their gratitude toward Lin Feiyu one after another. “Much thanks to Senior Brother Lin for your guidance.” They were lucky to have met someone as kind and patient as Lin Feiyu. If it were someone with a bad personality, they might’ve been dumped here with no explanation. After Lin Feiyu left, Chen Fan and the others were finally on their own. They split into small groups, searching for suitable caves. Chen Fan’s group did the same. Since they were already familiar with each other, they naturally chose nearby caves to stay close and support one another. Even though they were low-class disciples at the bottom rung, the cave dwellings weren’t bad. Each even had a quiet room for secluded cultivation. Inside a cave, Chen Fan took out a storage pouch. The Administration Hall had allocated this pouch. They had prepared some things for the newly recruited disciples like them. “This Featherlight Daoist Robe is an exceptional Grade-9 treasure woven from the silk of heavenly, earth, gold, silver, and black silkworms, then softened with hundreds of spiritual herbs. After putting it on, one could avoid all kinds of insects, poisons, and miasma when traversing in the mountains.” Chen Fan couldn’t help but sigh at the Featherlight Sect’s generosity. A Grade-9 treasure would spark brutal conflict in the lower realm; even Invincible Legendary experts would fight to the death for one. Here, however, the number of such treasures they had distributed must have exceeded a million a long time ago. Aside from the Featherlight Daoist Robe, there were also some elixirs, all extraordinary. Though not immortal-grade, they were still powerful Grade-9 items. “This is the Demon Slayer Sword forged by the Featherlight Immortal Sect. Although it’s not an immortal artifact, it’s a quasi-immortal artifact that cuts through iron like mud. It also contains fierce Yang qi that could destroy ghosts and repel evil. “These jade booklets contain some relevant information on the Heavenly Realm and the Featherlight Immortal Sect. I should read through them. And this manual contains the sect’s most basic low-grade immortal art. Pine Crane Longevity Fist, huh?” The elder of the Administration Hall had briefly told them some relevant information. “This is an immortal stone. It contains a vast amount of primeval qi, and it also contains the power of law. Use it for cultivation. It yields far greater results than ordinary primeval stones.” Ten more crystals appeared in Chen Fan’s hand. He sensed the energy and fluctuations of law inside them and realized that this was the currency of the Heavenly Realm. They could be used for both trade and cultivation. He put on the Featherlight Daoist Robe and hung his identity token at his waist. Then, he took out the stack of jade booklets and began reading. He had just arrived in the Heavenly Realm. Naturally, he needed to familiarize himself with the situation here. Although Lin Feiyu had told them some things, it lacked depth. For the rest, he had to rely on his own study. These jade booklets recorded large amounts of information, including the Featherlight Immortal Sect’s sect rules, the various major immortal sects, dynasties, underground abysses, the various major demon spirit clans, the distribution of the thirty-three Heavenly Domains and their situations, and so on. It had comprehensive records of nearly everything under the sun, laid out in remarkable detail.
