Chapter 607: 306
Under the guidance of the radiant light, Lin Yi flew into the passage above, similar to his first entry into the Dan God Secret Realm, he suddenly found himself enveloped in darkness, with only the guiding light still shining around him.

In such a situation, ordinary cultivators naturally couldn’t see anything, but through the Eye of Emptiness, he could see the spatial turbulence surrounding him.
Using the standard method of ascension, one would be protected within the Ascension Tunnel and wouldn’t be harmed by the turbulence, while those who stow away would need to traverse these spatial turbulences.
Presumably, those who returned to the Lower Realm had to pass through these spatial turbulences as stowaways, as there were no regular means for a cultivator to safely return to the Lower Realm from the Upper Realms.
These spatial turbulences, invisible and undetectable to anyone below the Immortal Realm, meant that stowaways would need to rely on luck or find some patterns; saying it was a life or death gamble was no exaggeration.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but speculate that those Nascent Soul True Monarchs who disappeared without a trace from the Cultivation World might not have encountered danger, but rather, seeing no hope for breakthrough, they chose to stow away in hopes of reaching the Upper Realms. To the outside world, they would naturally appear to have vanished.
After entering the Ascension Tunnel, those from the Lower Realm could no longer see him, and he could change his identity at any time.
Seeing through the Eye of Emptiness, the two cultivators from the Upper Realm likely couldn’t see the scene of ascension either, otherwise, they would definitely be staring intently at the area below them.
However, after some thought, he decided to ascend first under the identity of Invincible East to assess the situation before revealing his true identity, as he needed to keep a low profile and avoid drawing too much attention.
From the expressions of these two cultivators above, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the entire process; ascending should not lead to any particular kind of treatment.
Of course, in any world, it’s a survival of the fittest, and this was true even on Earth; if you can’t compete with others, you can only be eliminated.
The Cultivation World was even more so, where strength was the ultimate respect; your power determined how much respect you received from others.
In the Ascension Tunnel, Lin Yi behaved like a well-behaved child, no longer recklessly seeking enlightenment, even though such enlightenment could be helpful, it also brought with it great danger.
After a while, a bright light appeared above, and Lin Yi closed his eyes; even though he was nearly in the Upper Realm, he still refrained from seeking enlightenment.
Previously, enlightenment within the tunnel might mean being led astray to another Ascension Spirit Platform, maybe with a chance to return, but now, being led astray because of enlightenment meant a dead end.
Soon, he sensed a rich Spiritual Energy, denser than that within the Cultivation cave mansion of the Dan God Secret Realm, and the light before him grew brighter.
He heard a faint exclamation from the two Immortal cultivators of the later stage of Huashen who greeted him, seemingly stunned by his appearance as Invincible East.
Then a voice reached his ear, “Fellow Daoist, congratulations on your ascension; you may open your eyes now.”
Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The scene was identical to what he had seen through the Eye of Emptiness; he was in an Immortal City with several floating mountains above, filled with even more Spiritual Energy than the sects in the Lower Realm.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the two cultivators beside him, both appearing middle-aged, dressed in white robes with a blue lotus embroidered on them, presumably disciples of this Immortal City.
“I have seen both fellow Daoists. May I ask where I am, have I ascended to the Spirit Profound Realm?” Lin Yi asked slowly, bowing with clasped hands.
The two middle-aged cultivators smiled, accustomed to such inquiries—almost every ascender asked the same question upon arrival.
“Fellow Daoist need not worry, you have indeed ascended to the Spirit Profound Realm and taken a step closer to becoming an Immortal. This place is one of the Ascension Spirit Cities, named Qinglian Spirit City. Please come with us to the adjacent hall to rest for a while. Someone will present a Jade Slip; after reading it, everything will become clear to you,” they said.
Following the direction of their pointing, Lin Yi saw a palace and bowed with clasped hands, “Thank you both, fellow Daoists.”
“It’s nothing, please, fellow Daoist,” the two middle-aged cultivators said, leading Lin Yi leisurely towards the palace.
Lin Yi looked back at the place where he had ascended—it was a platform. Through the Eye of Emptiness, he could see it encompassed profound laws, very mystical. “Fellow Daoists, do you not need to continue your watch there?” he asked.
The two middle-aged cultivators exchanged a glance and smiled, “Although this Ascension Spirit Platform is connected to six Cultivation Worlds below, as you’ve surely experienced, Daoist friend, the difficulty of cultivation—ascenders who have cultivated to the Deification Realm are not seen every day. The last time an ascender appeared was over a hundred years ago.”
Lin Yi nodded slightly, understanding that one Ascension Spirit Platform connected to six Cultivation Worlds below must represent a full Cultivation World, much like both Heng Yuan World and Xuan Tian Realm combined to form a complete Lower Realm.
According to what the two middle-aged cultivators said, cultivation in the Spirit Profound Realm wasn’t as simple as he had imagined, and perhaps his earlier assumption that Refining Void cultivators were as common as mud and Immortal cultivators were no more significant than dogs was mistaken.
On the way to the palace, he exchanged names with the two middle-aged cultivators; one was called Li Qinglin, the older of the two, and the other was Zhao Yingchang.
