The handsome and calm but domineering looking young man sips his tea as he gazes at the universe with piercing tranquil eyes from his colorless floating jade palace. He radiates an unimaginable oppressive majesty with an ancient but a youthful childlike aura as if he was a newborn baby curious of the world.
The young man is Cheng Tian who is about to enter the immortal realm to learn of a way to breakthrough and reach immortality.
"Hmm, so it's time to enter huh?" Cheng Tian said to himself while now staring at the passage to the immortal realm.
It would usually be impossible to enter the immortal realm unless you were an immortal because you wouldn't be able to sense where the immortal realm was. But Cheng Tian could be called a pseudo immortal because of his cultivation stage and the amount of power he possess.
Though, even if he has the power equivalent to an immortal he still wouldn't be able to enter because of the fact he's not an immortal yet and wouldn't be able to exit the universe unless he reaches the realm of 'immortals'.
Luckily a long time ago Cheng Tian had stumbled across an open path to the immortal realm that was left behind by an ascending immortal in ancient times. But the path isn't stable enough to allow a physical body to go through cause it would just get destroyed, even so Cheng Tian has the ability to use his soul to maneuver through the path and withstand the resistance in there from trying to cross through the realms.
Cheng Tian sits up from his throne and turns to the limitless ocean of creatures behind him while looking as if he's going to instruct something.
"Everyone, I'm now going to attempt to break into the immortal realm and learn of a way too become an immortal! So, I would want everyone to wait for me to come back and welcome my glorious return! You may think my words are arrogant or think I have eyes and can't see but if you think that, then go fuck yourselves! I will assure you that i will succeed and I'll come back, so even if I do die I won't be dying 'there' but here! So I ask you if that time does happen I hope you will never forget me and keep my era and age engraved in history for all eternity!"
Cheng Tian has just voiced his thoughts and words to his followers, enemies, and the rest of the universe that he'll be attempting to ascend and become immortal.
Now usually once a cultivator hits the creation realm they can create anything out of anything but can't create anything out of nothing. Meaning that Creation realm master's are close to immortality but only immortal till the end of the universe so basically eternity or unless they're killed by other means.
Also if a creation realm master outlives the vitality of their being like body or soul they would need to reconstruct it but that doesn't mean they'll keep their power that they once had. Only till a cultivator reaches immortality or Universal Creator can they live forever without worrying about their power dropping.
A universal Creator is truly immortal in their universe, but can only be immortal in their universe since they can continuously use all the qi in their universe to cultivate and increase their lifespan and keep their power all at once.
"Roar!"
Now after Cheng Tian's speech theirs an incredibly unimaginable roar being heard from around the whole universe. This is a roar coming from all the cultivators and creatures giving their shouts of excitement back to the too cultivator in the universe, 'Cheng Tian'.
"Humph, now it's time to enter and become enlightened by the immortals whether it be peacefully or needing to draw some blood. Well I've been cultivating in the immortal class now for near 99 trillion years so i could increase the multiplier of my power."
Cheng Tian sat down and started meditating infront of the passage while letting his soul leave his body and start walking through the path to the immortal realm.
His soul wasn't like others soul where it was just someone's upper body and no legs or feet while it was transparent. But it actually looked like a whole real body where it exuded even more power than Cheng Tian's main body.
But this outcome is obvious cause Cheng Tian being a soul cultivator and being the most powerful and feared soul cultivator in the universe. That's now had some grasp of immortality from his cultivation class rank.
Now with Cheng Tian walking through the passage their is some heavenly lighting resembling a tribulation but this tribulation was scarier and more powerful than when Cheng Tian entered the Universal creator realm. But with Cheng Tian's soul's power it was nothing even when he got struck he felt nothing.
He just kept walking through leisurely with the path becoming ever so more powerful at an increasingly fast pace. It was alarming at first but the amount of power eventually stopped increasing and stayed the same along the somewhat endless passageway.
Cheng Tian started flying at some point once he realized that walking was going to take a long time. But even then with Cheng Tian's fast speed where he could travel across the whole universe from end to end in milliseconds. It's taken him a year across the desolate empty pathway to end up at a wall. At this wall is a dead body that's leaned up next to it.
The wall has a massive arched door in the center with the wall stretching endlessly to all sides left, right, up, or down.
"Hoh, it's tooken awhile but I guess I made it to the immortal realm wall? And this dead body is probably the failed cultivator who tried to breakthrough into immortality."
Cheng Tian inspects the dead body and finds a few valuable artifacts that give him some insights to immortality but their uses are useless to him. So after inspecting them he throws them away like trash.
But when he starts to inspect the dead cultivators body more so he can see if the man has any clues to immortality he finds an interesting remnant of the cultivator.
It was the mans soul!
The mans soul launched a mind attack to Cheng Tian but he easily blocked it.
"Hey how dare you block my attac-!"
As the cultivators soul tries to release his frustration of Cheng Tian easily blocking his attack he gets hit with one of Cheng Tian's attacks.
"Oi trash how dare you try to attack me." Cheng Tian said aggrievedly while placing his hand over the surprised and subdued cultivator while scanning his memories.
"Arahfhhh!" The mans soul screamed in a roaring voice trying to show the unimaginable pain He's in, but Cheng Tian was so fast that he scanned the man's memories in a few seconds that he left the dead cultivators soul brain dead and foaming at the mouth.
"Heh, trash you are useful! You gave me some insights on immortality as well as the comprehended way to open this door and enter the immortal realm!" Cheng Tian mocked the cultivators soul while smirking amusedly.
Clank!
As Cheng Tian opens the massive door a blinding light shoots out at him. After being slightly blinded for a few seconds he recovers and realizes the infinitely dense and foreign qi. The qi feels as if it's infinite and eternal but also as if the qi around him is more Ancient and has more seniority than the qi in his universe.
"So this is the qi in the immortal realm. But also this is the immortal realm!" Cheng Tian mumbles to himself while starting to feel an unstoppable excitement in his heart.
After he realizes that he needs to stay calm and stay to his original mission of gaining enlightenment. Cheng Tian finally enters the immortal realm.
Cheng Tian fly's around at his top speed while searching for some kind of immortal or town when he realizes that the immortal realm is unbelievably massive! And now after a week of exploring and absorbing the surrounding qi into his soul he see's a figure in the forest below.
"Hello friend, I don't mean to bother you but could you give me some information of where I am and what the immortal realm is?"
"Oh, are you a newly ascended immortal?"
"Something like that." Cheng Tian forces a smile while keeping his fists cupped.
"Hmm? Wait! What the hell? Who are you?" The immortal Cheng Tian met probed Cheng Tianna bit and noticed that Cheng Tian doesn't seem to be normal or even average himself. Even saying Cheng Tian is alive would be far off since Cheng Tian comes off as a see through phantom by the immortals scan.
"Umm friend do we have a problem?" Cheng Tian stopped his flattering look and now put on a domineering and confused looked to the immortal.
"What should I say! You seem to not be from around here or even aloud to be here! Ok, let me take you to Dragon City's authorities so they can question you."
"Hmm that doesn't work for me. How about you give me information and I'll pay you and we'll part ways."
"Sorry young friend but that's not something I'm aloud to do. Just don't struggle and let me take you to tow-. Agh!"
"Hmph you think trash like you is even aloud to be in my presence! I just asked you for information and even offered compensation but you want to report me!"
Cheng Tian had attacked the middle aged looking immortal and sent him flying back 1,000 light years away in a second while breaking the immortals ribs and sent him a soul attack stunning him.
"Now I won't be polite anymore! I can learn the way to immortality by plundering your soul and the information in it!"
"Hieee, Arghffhgg!"
The same situation happened with the immortal as with the dead Cultivator earlier. With a fast speed Cheng Tian plundered all the information from the mans soul while giving him unimaginable pain then turning him brain dead.
"Kekekekuku, finally! I've attained the information of obtaining immortality from the immortals memories! Hah, let me put you out your misery trash or should i say benefactor."
Cheng Tian goes through many emotions of excitement and joy being the main one with him also letting out a bone chilling evil laugh. He then extinguished the immortals soul and then took his body for more investigation later.
Cheng Tian also gained the immortals 'immortal ring' which had immortal treasures in it that are useful for him with even the ring being useful itself because it was an infinite space that he could store anything into.
With gaining other valuable information Cheng Tian learned of the nearest town that is 1 million *WU's* away. The town is Dragon city that was mentioned by the dead immortal and is a very weak and small city when compared in the immortal realms' standards. It's a city comprised of immortals with the city lord being a peak stage immortal at the 10th minor realm.
(I'm making *WU's* as a new measurement for my story that means 'Whole Universe' because the immortal realm is infinite in scale. 1 WU is: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 light years or 1 Decillion light years in length)
"I might as well go to this city to see if i can learn anything more that's useful for my breakthrough since having more information never hurts. I did learn how to become an immortal from this dead retard but it was just his ascension that I gained experience from. And I want be perfect with my cultivation so i can reach the top without nothing holding me back."
Cheng Tian doesn't immediately go to Dragon city but goes to the entrance he came from so he can join his body from his universe so he can increase his combat strength. He doubts that anyone in Dragon city could cause a threat to him but still an army of ants can take down an elephant. Since he wants become an immortal he's gonna need to be at his combat strength so he could possibly learn more from the immortals that he'll eventually slaughter if they cross him.
After some time of flying through the passageway he makes it to his body and enters it. Now with his body and soul as one his combat strength is at it's peak, and he doesn't have to worry about the passage way shredding his body since it's not powerful enough. Plus he can control the passage way's principles and power because of the information he got from the dead cultivator.
"Ok now time to go back and start plundering those immortals of their knowledge." Cheng Tian takes a bit of time to fly back through the passage and a few days to head to Dragon city.
He's not looking for a fight with the immortals but he knows from his experience that coming across trouble will always happen even if your not looking for trouble or problems it'll follow you. He wouldn't mind to try to find some way to peacefully gain an enlightenment but he can kill the immortals with a slap and gain a better way to perfection.
Also during the travel Cheng Tian had started cultivating the 'immortal qi' in the surrounding area with a new cultivation art he created based off the immortals' one and Cheng Tian's personally created cultivation art. Over the few days he was able to change the qi in his body into immortal qi.
And now he has finally arrived at Dragon City. He enters the city with an entrance fee of 100 low grade Immortal qi sources that he got from the immortal ring.
Realistically just one of the immortal qi sources would be the source of the universe because of the endless qi and dao, laws, and principles coming from it. Which makes it priceless and the creator of all life in the universe but in the immortal realm they make the immortal qi sources seem like garbage.
"Hmm I wonder what I should first do in Dragon city? I don't wanna start trouble yet since I don't know too much about this city so i think i should learn what this city really is like. And I know exactly where to go to."
Cheng Tian starts heading his way through the crowd of immortals in the street while concealing himself to avoid suspicion from others. Then ends up infront of a 10 floor high Pagoda that the building itself seems like a treasure. He enters the Pagoda and pays for a seat on the 3rd floor while ordering some food.
"Hehe, I can't believe I'm really in the immortal realm." Cheng Tian chuckles to himself while he sips on some tea.
