Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 411 - 406 Eternal Immortal Dao City
"Brother Ding, I want to join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect." After reviewing the Jade Scroll, Wen Zhixi knew Ding Huan must also be considering joining an Immortal Sect.
She voiced her preference first, not knowing whether there were other sects near the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.
"Let's go and ask first."
Ding Huan felt that joining an Immortal Sect was probably not going to be an easy task. He approached a cultivator who was organizing materials at a stall.
This cultivator had a rather low level of cultivation, merely at the Earth Immortal level.
The materials in front of him were worthless, with not a single good item among them.
"Hello, fellow Daoist," Ding Huan greeted him as he approached and saluted with his fist.
Seeing Ding Huan approach, the Earth Immortal quickly stood up and bowed, "Senior, is there something you need to inquire about from me?"
It was clear he also knew his stall's items were not appealing to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, I would like to ask, are there any Immortal Sects recruiting disciples nearby?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivator understood clearly—the two individuals in front of him shared the same dream he had, wishing to join an Immortal Sect.
If joining an Immortal Sect were easy, would he still be here at this stall trying to make a living?
"Senior, there is an annual Immortal Domain Conclave where all the major sects recruit disciples. During that time, many sects will head to Eternal Immortal Dao City."
Although the Earth Immortal was providing an answer, he was puzzled internally. After all, the fact that major sects recruit disciples during the Immortal Domain Conclave was common knowledge among those within the Immortal Domain. Why didn't these two know?
"To be honest, we are short on funds and can't afford an Immortal Territory Map. Do you have one that I could copy?" Ding Huan asked with an embarrassed expression.
The Earth Immortal sighed internally. It was indeed rare to meet others who were even poorer than himself.
"I don't have an Immortal Territory Map, but I do have the coordinates to Eternal Immortal Dao City on this Jade Scroll. I'll give it to you as a gift.
You should hurry if you wish to participate in the sect recruitment; it's less than three months away.
From here to Eternal Immortal Dao City is quite a distance, even on a Low Grade Flying Immortal Device, it's more than a two-month journey."
Feeling a kinship in poverty with Ding Huan, the cultivator stopped using 'Senior' to address him.
How many seniors would be as poor as him? They must be lowly cultivators in the Cultivation World just like him.
However, this cultivator's junior sister was quite beautiful; such beauties seemed to only belong to the likes of Yaochi Jade Maiden.
Unfortunately, their wish to join an Immortal Sect was likely doomed.
"Thank you for your help, and let me gift you this spaceship," said Ding Huan as he took out a premium Flying Spirit Artifact he hadn't yet given away.
For Penghai Immortal Building, a High Grade Flying Spirit Artifact was nothing much. But for the cultivator in front of him, it was a considerable treasure.
"Thank you, senior," the Earth Immortal once again changed his form of address, appreciating the valuable artifact.
Ding Huan would have liked to deploy his iron pot, but considering the abundance of powerful entities around, exposing the iron pot would lead to a sure path to death.
Wen Zhixi deployed a Low Grade Flying Immortal Device, and Ding Huan, just to be cautious, installed some concealment prohibitions around the device.
Fortunately, Wen Zhixi's device was of high quality, and in just over a month, they were nearing Eternal Immortal Dao City.
Upon arriving outside Eternal Immortal Dao City, Ding Huan was reminded of the scene years ago in Triple Heaven Star Land.
Back then, he and Lou Buzhi participated in the Immortal Sect selections in the Mortal World of Triple Heaven Star Land. It was a sea of people then as well.
The scene here was not much different from those days, the only distinction being that here, none were mortals.
He himself had also become a cultivator at the Golden Immortal Fifth Layer.
"Brother Ding, we might not find a place to stay," Wen Zhixi whispered as soon as they landed the Flying Immortal Device.
Ding Huan chuckled, "Back when I was still a mortal, wanting to join an Immortal Sect, I also had no place to stay. Eventually, a few friends and I settled down in a corner of the street."
Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan, "Brother Ding, back then, you must have been the most sought-after disciple because of your talent, right?"
Ding Huan shook his head and did not continue.
Back then, no one wanted him, and he ultimately joined the Cultivation World as a cook.
"Let's go and find out more information. You should wear a face veil first," Ding Huan suggested, mainly because Wen Zhixi was too beautiful and he feared it might cause trouble.
In this place, many women wore veils, and if the quality of the veil was high enough, it lent them an ethereal aura, not standing out too much.
Wen Zhixi nodded and put on her veil.
Ding Huan was actually not planning to join an Immortal Sect. This was not the Fourth Immortal Domain; this domain was filled with formidable entities.
He practiced the Great Universe Technique. If he were to cultivate near formidable entities, it was certain he would be detected unless he had his own independent Immortal Peak.
This was clearly unlikely, as only core disciples or elders of a Sect were qualified to possess an independent Immortal Peak.
Looking at the majestic city gate before him, Ding Huan felt a deep emotion stir within him.
This is indeed the Immortal City.
Without using Divine Will, one could feel the ancient history of the Immortal City just by the sight.

Ding Huan was cultivating the Great Universe Technique, and he could feel the profound Daoist rhythm emanating from the city from afar.
Every brick on the city wall carried an ancient and vicissitudinous aura, infused with the breath of immortal Dao.
All these elements combined to create an overwhelming momentum.
The gates of Immortal City were unmanned, and everyone who entered or exited did so in an orderly manner without any chaos.
Ding Huan didn't enter the city; instead, he and Wen Zhixi joined the crowd, wanting to hear how others viewed joining an Immortal Sect.
The forum of the Immortal Territory would soon begin, and many who came here were surely contemplating joining an Immortal Sect.
Half an hour later, Ding Huan finally entered Eternal Immortal Dao City with Wen Zhixi.
Wen Zhixi had also heard some discussions, and from what these cultivators said about joining an Immortal Sect, she knew it was extremely difficult and almost impossible.
According to these people, the first step to joining an Immortal Sect was to enter the forum.
She and Ding Huan had no resources; why would they be able to enter a forum hosted jointly by the major Immortal Sects?
"Zhixi, you should have a great chance to join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect," Ding Huan's words were completely opposite to Wen Zhixi's conclusion.
He wasn't just consoling Wen Zhixi but was making his own judgment based on the news he had just heard.
In the Great Immortal Domain's forum, various Immortal Sects would come to recruit disciples. Those chosen would naturally be of the highest talents.
These top talents included Immortal Array Masters, Immortal Alchemists, Immortal Talisman Masters, Immortal Artifact Masters, and more.
Although Ding Huan hadn't heard what kind of disciples the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect was looking for, it surely wouldn't include the ugly ones.
Wen Zhixi's appearance was definitely not an issue, and secondly, she was a Third-level Immortal Array Master. Moreover, her cultivation had reached the Late-stage Profound Immortal.
With Wen Zhixi's age and her cultivation level, her aptitude would not be a problem.
"Brother Ding, I must join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect," Wen Zhixi took a deep breath and slowly said.
If she didn't join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, she wouldn't be able to acquire the Ten Refining God Soul Technique and save her mother.
Ding Huan nodded; he would also try to help Wen Zhixi if she couldn't join the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.
Despite not having any Immortal Crystals, Ding Huan had visited many Rest Buildings as he had suspected, and just as he had guessed, there were no vacant rooms.
"Are the two friends looking for a room to stay?" a woman with a fair appearance and a slight tan stopped Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi.
"Yes," Ding Huan nodded, his gaze falling on the woman.
This female cultivator's cultivation was slightly higher than his, at the Golden Immortal Late Stage. The tan on her skin was definitely due to working under sunlight for long periods.
The woman smiled slightly, "The Eternal Immortal Dao City is about to host the Great Immortal Territory Forum, and there is also an Immortal Sect Disciples Recruitment Meet. Now, finding a room will definitely be impossible, but I do have an idea."
"Please enlighten me, senior sister," Ding Huan quickly clasped his hands together.
The woman said, "Every year at this time, the Eternal Immortal Dao City always runs out of places to stay, so everyone lives together in large pavilions."
"What is a large pavilion?" Ding Huan didn't understand.
The woman explained, "It's the square outside the Ancient Square Market. Every year at this time, a temporary hall is set up there, containing many partitions.
These partitions are connected to each other, and thus called a large pavilion. Cultivators who don't have a place to stay can stay in these partitions, and each partition costs a hundred Low-Grade Immortal Crystals per night..."
"A place like this costs so much? I'd rather just sleep on the streets," Ding Huan said, surprised and confused.
The woman paused, then shook her head, "It is forbidden to sleep on the streets in Eternal Immortal Dao City. Anyone found doing so is immediately expelled from the city, never to be allowed entry again."
So that's why, no wonder he hadn't seen anyone sleeping on the streets while he walked around.
"Senior sister, are you suggesting we rent one of these partitions together?" Ding Huan looked at the woman and asked.
He could tell, even though this female cultivator was of the Golden Immortal Realm, she must be living frugally. Probably all her income went into her cultivation.
The reason she sought them out was for safety.
After all, although he was a male cultivator, he had Wen Zhixi, a female with him.
The female cultivator nodded, "Yes, renting one of these partitions for a month costs three thousand Immortal Crystals, which I don't have. If we partner up, I am willing to contribute fifteen hundred Immortal Crystals."
Hearing this, Ding Huan was quite impressed.
If it were a shrewder woman, she would have surely said she'd contribute a thousand Immortal Crystals, considering he and Wen Zhixi were two people, and she was just one.
"Okay, I am Ding Huan, and this is my younger sister, Wen Zhixi," Ding Huan immediately agreed to the female cultivator's proposal.
"My name is Tao Xiaomei," the woman, now relieved by Ding Huan's agreement, happily said.
