Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"The Sun and Star Sect, with a jurisdiction spanning thirty billion light-years! In this area, countless civilizations hold the Sun and Star Sect in high regard. However, they truly control less than ten billion light-years. Only within this region have they established a sub-sect system, fully governing those star systems. The influences beyond the ten billion light-years only pay tribute annually, seeking peace out of fear of their reputation."

Information about the Sun and Star Sect flowed through Alkaid's mind.

Although these data originated from six thousand years ago, in the cosmic starry sky, especially concerning an enormous entity like the Sun and Star Sect, it is very normal for the situation to remain unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

It had been only six thousand years...

It could definitely be considered firsthand information.

"I remember, there should be a port star ahead named Yun Ji, serving as a gateway for the Sun and Star Sect in the southeast direction. Cultivators, merchants, and civilization delegations coming from the southeast direction all exchange news and information on that star before subsequently submitting their entry documents to officially enter the territory of the Sun and Star Sect."

Alkaid glanced at the star chart.

Considering the significant disturbances Dao Lord-Level figures could cause, he leaped directly from this top-tier Dao Artifact-class warship and switched to a regular Dao Artifact-class warship.

He also concealed his cultivation to the Shattered Void Level. With the concealment provided by the Ten Direction Heavenly Realm Immortal Artifact, as long as he didn't engage in combat, even facing a Dao Lord face to face, he might not be detected.

After making preparations, Alkaid used several traverses to directly arrive on a planet illuminated by nine stellar bodies.

Upon a single glance, Alkaid realized this was not a planet.

But a Formation.

A man-made planet sculpted according to the demands of this Formation.

Moreover, this Formation was of the Fourteenth Level and, in some aspects, even approached the standards of Fifteenth Level Formations.

"No wonder all external forces obediently process their entry procedures at Yun Ji Star. A Fourteenth Level Formation laid out in the cosmic starry sky... If furthermore overseen by a Shattered Void, unless a Dao Lord personally arrives, any strong Shattered Void who comes here would only be able to stare blankly and queue up obediently to handle their affairs."

Alkaid maneuvered the warship into this planet.

This was a man-made planet with a diameter reaching hundreds of millions of miles.

The outer perimeter was enveloped in a man-made Spiritual Energy layer, while inside the star core was the central hub of the entire Formation, which, together with the outside nine super-sized stars, formed this Fourteenth Level Formation.

As soon as Alkaid's warship approached, patrolling cultivators arrived to guide Alkaid through a special Formation entry designed for incoming and outgoing traffic.

As a Shattered Void driving a Dao Artifact-class warship, he naturally had sufficient privileges.

While other warships were still queuing, a cultivator from the Void Refinement Realm had already boarded his warship to assist him with registration and the relevant procedures.

Judging by the proficiency of the Void Refinement in handling the procedures...

Yun Ji Starport must be accustomed to receiving cultivators from the Hollow Void, Void Refinement, and Shattered Void Realms from outside.

After completing the procedures, Alkaid's warship entered the man-made Spiritual Energy layer.

Upon entering the Spiritual Energy layer, the first thing that caught his eye was an expansive sea of spiritual mists filling the entire view.

The myriad colors of Spiritual Energy were directly separated out by the artificial atmosphere, allowing cultivators of that specific attribute to choose the Spiritual Energy that best suited them.

Especially since...

The density of these Spiritual Energies was not low.

With a casual gesture, Alkaid drew the Spiritual Energy from within several hundred meters around him and was able to condense a Spirit Stone.

In the atmosphere, magnificent and resplendent palaces filled the space, shrouded in spiritual mists, appearing intermittently as if they were part of the Heavenly Realm.

The cultivators who came to Yun Ji Starport typically headed for those palaces to engage in trade, enjoy local specialty services, or interact with institutions of the Sun and Star Sect.

However, Alkaid gave it a glance and was curious, so he continued flying towards the lower atmosphere.

As he was about to reach the ground, he clearly felt a layer of Formation interference.

Since he had a Shattered Void token from the Sun and Star Sect, the Formation did not obstruct him, and in an instant, he had crossed that layer.

"Probably... it just stops cultivators below the Hollow Void Realm. Those who have mastered the Power of the Void can easily bypass this layer of the Formation."

Alkaid looked back at the great Formation.

Then he continued descending, passing through the layer of thunder and lightning, the layer of strong winds, and when he came to the airspace near the ground, the vast land suddenly spread out before him.

At the limit of his sight, he could clearly see a gathering place for cultivators.

There, several mountains suspended thousands of meters above the sky, with a huge city below.

As Alkaid looked towards those mountains, he could see swords lights traveling back and forth among the several mountains.

Above the mountains, many spiritual birds and immortal cranes were also domesticated.

A few mountains even had waterfalls cascading down, falling thousands of meters and, just before hitting the ground, were dispersed by the wind into mist, nourishing the spiritual fields below.

This scene involuntarily evoked memories in Alkaid from several hundred years ago.

"A vertical descent of three thousand feet, like the Milky Way falling from the Nine Heavens."

The scene before him perfectly matched the vision of a celestial paradise in his mind.

At that moment, several streaks of escaping light tore through the sky and arrived in front of Alkaid, bowing respectfully, "Qing Xiao Sect Elder Dan Qingzi, greets the Upper Realm True Immortal."

"Upper Realm True Immortal?"

Alkaid glanced at the person leading them.

Blazing White Golden Core Realm.

"With True Immortals descending from the Heaven Realm to inspect the mortal world, I wonder if there's anything Dan Qingzi can assist with."

Dan Qingzi was very respectful.

Every Upper Realm True Immortal was a person of complete cultivation.

Especially the person before him...

He bore an air of grandeur, very likely surpassing Hollow Void True Immortals and Void Refinement Mystical Immortals, possibly even a Shattered Void Golden Immortal.

For these lower realm cultivators, serving them well could earn them some Elixirs or techniques just once, allowing them to benefit for life and laying a solid foundation for their future ascension to the Heaven Realm.

"Your sect seems quite lively, with people coming and going. Is there a special event happening?"

Alkaid asked a question.

"Yes, Supreme Immortal, every ten years, the sixteen sects of Yun Continent take turns to host a grand tournament for the disciples,"

"Yun Continent?"

"Yes, Yun Continent is one of the thirty-six continents of the Xuan Ling Realm, spanning eighteen million miles in length and fourteen million miles in width, home to sixteen top-tier cultivator sects, three hundred sixty-six first-rate sects, numerous second and third-tier sects, and ten thousand eight hundred mortal nations with diverse cultures..."

Dao Qingzi responded enthusiastically.

He seemed to have a good grasp of these details.

Upon hearing this, Alkaid couldn't help but marvel at the vast expanse.

At the same time, he listened to what Dao Qingzi had said...

It seemed that they were unaware that they were living on a man-made planet, nor did they know that this planet was actually a fourteenth-level Formation.

"A sect tournament, let's go see."

Alkaid said.

The purpose of his practice was to make his life more comfortable.

To allow himself to go wherever he wanted and do whatever he wished.

The world before him...

was very similar to the Cultivation Immortal World in his mind...

Of course, this wasn't to say that Cangwu Great World or Northern Sea Star lacked uniqueness; they simply did not match his perception of the Cultivation Immortal World.

Seeing such a world now, he naturally became somewhat interested.

"With the arrival of the Supreme Immortal, the sixteen sects of Yun Continent are honored."

Dao Qingzi enthusiastically escorted Alkaid to the Qing Xiao Sect.

When he brought Alkaid there, the elders and sect leaders of the sixteen sects of Yun Continent stood up to greet and salute him.

It was then that Alkaid realized that there were not only one Supreme Immortal from the Immortal Realm who had come like him...

but rather a dozen.

Dao Qingzi seemed to notice the doubt in his heart and smiled, saying, "Every session of the sects' tournament manages to draw responses from all top-tier sects and sends their most elite disciples to compete, precisely because there are Supreme Immortals from the Upper Realm attending as spectators. Many of them spot talented individuals and take them as disciples."

"Isn't that just making wedding clothes for others?"

Alkaid commented.

"For a disciple from our sect to be noticed by a Supreme Immortal from the Upper Realm is a blessing attained from lifetimes of cultivation."

Dao Qingzi laughed and added, "Moreover, when a Supreme Immortal from the Upper Realm takes a disciple, to encourage our sects, they also bestow Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines whose value far exceeds the resources we invested in that disciple. Besides, having this connection allows our sects to establish themselves in the Xuan Ling Land and adds to our foundation."

Alkaid nodded slightly.

From this perspective, the interaction between the cultivators of the lower Xuan Ling Realm and the so-called Supreme Immortals from the Upper Realm seemed quite close.

After a moment, he seemed to think of something: "Are there Upper Realm Supreme Immortals who reside in the lower realm?"

"There are, indeed, but usually not for very long."

Dao Qingzi said, "For example, around our Qing Xiao Sect, there was a Daoist Priest of Posuo who opened the Posuo Pure Land to seclude himself for six hundred years and even taught a disciple named Sun Xing. With high talent, Sun Xing attained the Golden Immortal status in three hundred years and even tried to share the heavens with the Heaven Realm."

"Three hundred years?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

Attaining Shattered Void in three hundred years... that talent was indeed high.

"Where is he now?"

"He has been suppressed by a great power of the Heavenly Palace for five hundred years,"

Dao Qingzi said.

Alkaid nodded.

At this time, the tournament among the disciples seemed to have entered the next round.

The ones competing were, astonishingly, two disciples from the Constant Light Realm.

Alkaid could tell that for the sixteen sects of Yun Continent, the sect leaders and elders were primarily cultivators of the Blazing White Golden Core and Sunburst Golden Core stages.

Of course, there should be Deep Blue Golden Core cultivators among these top-tier sects as well, but they were all in seclusion preparing for ascension to the Immortal Realm.

As for the disciples...

Chief True Successors, Saint Heirs, and Dao Heirs could reach the Crimson Red Gold Core level, but ordinary true successors often concentrated at the Heavenly Fire Realm and Constant Light Realm.

Further down were disciples who had just achieved immortality in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Those who hadn't reached Core Formation were mere outer sect or menial disciples, utterly unqualified to attend such a grand event.

While Alkaid was observing this tournament, a divine sense message came through: "Why did only you come this time? Where is Daoist Huang Feng?"

Alkaid was slightly startled upon hearing this divine sense.

But his gaze instantly fell on a Supreme Immortal from the Upper Realm.

That was also a Shattered Void cultivator.

Noticing Alkaid's gaze, he nodded in a friendly manner.

But the divine sense simultaneously conveyed, "The people aren't all here yet, don't reveal any flaws, or else the plan will be ruined, and we won't be able to rescue Sun Xing, nor find Dao Venerable Posuo."

"Hmm!?"

Alkaid was about to ask if he had mistaken him for someone else, but upon hearing this, he instantly looked up.

"Dao Venerable!?"
