The group marvels at the incredibly dense immortal energy and abundance of cultivators in Jade Rabbit City, a sacred city in the Void Realm. They learn that the city is powered by the Immortal Realm itself and protected by the Taiyin Palace. While the cost of living is high, the benefits to cultivation are immense. The conversation shifts to reincarnated immortals, and Qian Xiuli reveals that some have caused trouble for the Primordial Talisman Sect, but were ultimately defeated and imprisoned.

At the same time, on a certain Nameless Island within the Void Realm.

More than a dozen Mahayana Cultivators appeared here, terrifying aura roiling off their bodies, as if resonating with the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Every gesture carried immense power.

They were all Immortal Reincarnations, and had awakened the memories of their former lives.

"Fellow Daoists, I hadn’t expected all of you to survive."

"I thought you had all fallen. This truly is wonderful."

The one leading them was Shen Quezhang. In the past, he had once been a Heavenly Immortal, but he had received the Reincarnation Immortal Talisman bestowed by the Reincarnation Immortal King, thus gaining the chance for Reincarnation.

Only now could it be said that his Reincarnation had succeeded, and he had awakened the memories of his previous life.

Looking at the other Reincarnated Immortals, his heart was filled with emotion.

In that battle back then in the Immortal Realm, practically every Immortal charged in with the resolve to die.

Although they did leave themselves some means of retreat, it was by no means guaranteed to succeed.

Many, many Immortals fell utterly, without even the chance to reincarnate and be reborn.

So seeing so many companions from those days, he was still extremely pleased.

At the very least, they lived on; that meant there was still hope.

"One can only say that the Reincarnation Immortal Talisman truly is powerful; it can even shelter the souls of us Immortals."

"We were not polluted by the Immortal Race. Otherwise, even if we reincarnated and were reborn, our souls would likely be twisted."

A black‑robed Cultivator spoke.

He felt that the fact he could live on was indeed fortune of the highest order.

Not everyone had such hope of survival.

This left him deeply grateful.

In any case, being able to live a second life was still a blessing.

"But the threat of the Immortal Race still remains. I can sense Demons everywhere in the Mortal World."

"Indeed, those Demons are all claws of the Immortal Race. Where they are, the Immortal Race is also present."

"And the number and strength of those Demons grow more terrifying by the day. I suspect the Ten Thousand Demons Realm may well be hiding many True Immortals from the Immortal Realm, waiting for the moment to launch a fatal strike."

"Exactly. If this continues, the Mortal World will sooner or later become a terrifying battlefield. So we must return to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible. If we remain in the Mortal World, we may not survive."

"Heh, wanting to return to the Immortal Realm is hardly so simple. The Immortal Realm and the Mortal World have long been cut off by a Supreme Immortal Technique, one jointly cast by many Immortal Kings."

"It is precisely the power of this Supreme Immortal Technique that shelters us Reincarnated Immortals. Otherwise, the living beings of the Mortal World would already have been slaughtered clean by the Immortal Race."

"Yet it is also this Immortal Technique that blocks our further advance. Now, only by returning to the Immortal Realm can we completely restore our peak Cultivation and then advance further. If we continue to remain in the Mortal World, we will merely be wasting our years."

"Even if we waste our years, that is still something we can’t help. This barrier—let alone True Immortals—even Heavenly Immortals or Immortal Kings striking at it cannot break it. With our strength, we cannot do anything to this Immortal Technique that severs the way to the heavens."

The many Reincarnated Immortals argued back and forth.

They felt profoundly helpless, as if confined to the Mortal World.

Even if they wished to leave, they had no way; it was as though they were inside a vast prison.

More importantly, if they could not advance to True Immortal, their Lifespans would be rapidly consumed.

When a hundred thousand years passed, they would perish and their Dao would be extinguished.

For Heavenly Immortals of the past, such a Lifespan was but the snap of a finger; this was why they were so urgent, hoping to find a way to ascend to the Immortal Realm and thus advance to True Immortal.

"Ascending to the Immortal Realm is temporarily impossible."

"Unless the Immortal Kings fully return and join hands to break the barrier."

"Otherwise, none of us will be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"But what you truly fear is likely not being unable to advance to True Immortal, but your Lifespans running dry, isn’t it?"

"After all, we have no idea when the Immortal Kings will truly return."

"If they only return after hundreds of thousands, or even a million years, then we’ll be completely finished."

Shen Quezhang spoke; in an instant, he saw through what his companions were truly worried about.

To be honest, these Reincarnated Immortals were not so anxious about ascending to the Immortal Realm.

After the ancient battle in the Immortal Realm, they had been totally defeated; no one knew what state the Immortal Realm was in now.

If they rashly ascended, they might very well be walking to their deaths, becoming food for the Immortal Race.

What they truly feared was that their Lifespans would be completely exhausted.

When that time came, that would be true death, the end of their allotted years, from which there was no resurrection.

"Exactly. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Shen has a way to solve this problem?"

The many Reincarnated Immortals asked curiously.

"Of course there is a way. I trust you all know of the Primordial Talisman Sect, yes? The true mortal overlord of this Void Realm."

"That Sect possesses a special kind of ore—the Life Source Stone."

"If we obtain these Life Source Stones, we can seal ourselves within them, reducing the consumption of our Lifespans, and help us ’smuggle’ ourselves into the future hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions, of years from now."

Shen Quezhang smiled faintly as he looked at the crowd.

"Life Source Stone? Such a wondrous treasure actually exists in the Mortal World?"

"Right, I once heard of this Mortal World within the Void Realm. It’s said that many powerful Immortals ascended from the Void Realm; this Mortal World has birthed countless True Spirits and Heaven‑favored prodigies."
